The Walking Dead quotes

Maggie Greene

I know why you have the haircut.

Eugene Porter

I told you, it's 'cause I like it.

Maggie Greene

I believe that. I like it, too. I think you like it for a reason. You're not the person people think you are. You want 'em to know who you are.

Eugene Porter

Not following you.

Maggie Greene

If you didn't have that mullet, you'd probably be like everybody else in the labs. But you're not like everybody else. I think a lot of people in your position probably woulda given up, but you didn't.

Eugene Porter

There were people-- a lot of them along the way-- they made sure I didn't give up. It wasn't me remotely.

Maggie Greene

It was. You started this thing. And you're not like Samson. He was kind of a mess.

Eugene Porter

Not following you.

Maggie Greene

Well, his story goes that one day when a lion attacked him, God gave him strength and he tore it apart. Then he goes back one day, he's by himself, and he sees that bees have made a hive in the carcass. So later he tells this riddle to people. "Out of the eater, something to eat. Out of the strong, something sweet." And I always thought, "How the hell are people supposed to know the answer when it's just about his own life? When the only place the answer is, is in his own head?"

Carol Peletier

You said we get to start over.

Daryl Dixon

Yeah.

Carol Peletier

Did you?

Daryl Dixon

I'm tryin'. Why don't you say what's really on your mind?

Carol Peletier

I don't think we get to save people anymore.

Daryl Dixon

Then why are you here?

Carol Peletier

I'm tryin'.

Daryl Dixon

Some days, I don't know what the hell to think.

Carol Peletier

I don't know if I believe in God anymore or heaven, but if I'm going to hell, I'm making damn sure I'm holding it off as long as I can.

Noah

We can get her back. We can get Beth back.

Daryl Dixon

What's it gonna take?

Noah

A lot. They got guns, people.

Daryl Dixon

So do we.

Tyreese Williams

My dad always told Sasha and me that it was our duty as citizens of the world to keep up with the news. When I was little and I was in his car, there were always those stories on the radio. Something happens 1,000 miles away or down the block. Some kind of horror I couldn't even wrap my head around. But he didn't change the channel. He didn't turn it off. He just kept listening. To face it. Keeping your eyes open. My dad always called that paying the high cost of living.

I tried to tell you. I tried to tell you, man. It was gonna be you. You're the kind of guy who saves babies. You think Gareth would have been able to follow you guys if you'd have just put a bullet in my brain? Cut me up like your sister did? Oh, whoa, whoa. Don't get up. If I hadn't told them that you were there, maybe Gareth wouldn't have gone after you. Maybe they wouldn't be dead. Maybe Bob wouldn't be dead. Maybe him being alive, maybe something about that would have changed things with Beth. Domino shit. Maybe not. Maybe you wouldn't be bit right now.

Man, that is bullshit. I got bit at the food bank. It went the way it had to, the way it was always going to. Just like this.

You told me you'd earn your keep. You had no idea what you were talking about, did you? Did you?! Your eyes were open, but you didn't want to see. Even though I made you see it. I showed you. But did you adapt? Did you change? No. That you would sit there in front of a woman who killed someone you loved and you would forgive her. That's all there is. This is all there is. This is it.

Tyreese Williams

I didn't know who I was talking to. I said I would do what I had to to earn my keep, but I didn't know you. But I know-- I know who I am. I know what happened and what's going on. I know. You didn't show me shit. You, you're dead. Everything that you were is dead. And it's-- it's not over. I forgave her because it's not over. It's not over. It's-- it's not over. I didn't turn away. I kept listening to the news so I could do what I could to help! I'm not giving up. You hear me? I'm not giving up! People like me-- people like me, they can live. Ain't nobody got to die today.

Gabriel Stokes

If you ever want to talk about your father or about Beth -

Maggie Greene

Please, stop.

Gabriel Stokes

Whenever you're ready, I'm here.

Maggie Greene

You never even met them.

Gabriel Stokes

I know you're in pain.

Maggie Greene

You don't know shit. You had a job. You were there to save your flock, right? But you didn't. You hid. Don't act like that didn't happen.

Abraham Ford

Plan just got dicked!

Glenn Rhee

Hey, we can make it together. But we can only make it together.

Rick Grimes

When I was a kid I asked my grandpa once if he ever killed any Germans in the war. He wouldn't answer. He said that was grown-up stuff, so so I asked if the Germans ever tried to kill him. But he got real quiet. He said he was dead the minute he stepped into enemy territory. Every day he woke up and told himself, "Rest in peace. Now get up and go to war." And then after a few years of pretending he was dead he made it out alive. That's the trick of it, I think. We do what we need to do and then we get to live. But no matter what we find in DC, I know we'll be okay. Because this is how we survive. We tell ourselves that we are the walking dead.

Daryl Dixon

We ain't them. We're not them.

Rick Grimes

You should keep your gates closed.

Why?

Rick Grimes

Because it's all about survival now. At any cost. People out there are always looking for an angle. Looking to play on your weakness. They measure you by what they can take from you. By how they can use you to live. So bringing people into a place like this now--

Are you telling me not to bring your people in? Are you already looking after this place? Aaron says I can trust you.

Rick Grimes

Aaron doesn't know me. I've killed people. I don't even know how many by now. But I know why they're all dead. They're dead so my family, all those people out there, can be alive. So I could be alive for them.

Sounds like I'd want to be part of your family.

Carol Peletier

I'm gonna wash that vest. We need to keep up appearances, even you.

Daryl Dixon

Hey, I ain't starting now.

Carol Peletier

I'm gonna hose you down in your sleep.

Daryl Dixon

You look ridiculous.

Carl Grimes

I like it here. I like the people. But... they're weak, and I don't want us to get weak too.
