The Walking Dead quotes

You three need new gigs. You're not ready for runs yet.

Glenn Rhee

Yeah, pretty sure you got that backwards.

Rick Grimes

We won't get weak. That's not in us anymore. We'll make it work. And if they can't make it then we'll just take this place.

Daryl Dixon

[to Buttons the horse] Yeah, you used to be somebody's, huh? Now you're just yours.

I know you're feeling like an outsider. It's not your fault, you know. Eric and I, we're still looked at as outsiders in a lot of ways. We've heard our fair share of well-meaning, but hilariously offensive things from some otherwise really nice men and women. People are people. The more afraid they get, the more stupid they get. Fear shrinks the brain. They're scared of you and me for different reasons. They're less scared of me because they know me. It's less and less every day. So let them get to know you. You should go to Deanna's party tonight.

Daryl Dixon

I got nothing to prove. I met a lot of bad people out here doing a lot of bad shit. They weren't afraid of nothing.

Yeah, they were.

You know, everyone's been through it somehow. Everyone.

Rick Grimes

And a lot of things disappeared.

But a lot of bullshit went with it. They're all from totally different backgrounds, different places. They never would have even met. And now they're part of each other's lives. They are each other's lives. I'm just saying, we all lost things, but we got something back. It isn't enough, but it's something.

Carol Peletier

You can never tell anyone, especially your mom. Because if you do one morning you'll wake up and you won't be in your bed.

Where will I be?

Carol Peletier

You'll be outside the walls far, far away tied to a tree. And you'll scream and scream because you'll be so afraid. No one will come to help because no one will hear you. Well, something will hear you. The monsters will come. The ones out there. And you won't be able to run away when they come for you. And they will tear you apart and eat you up all while you're still alive. All while you can still feel it. And then afterwards, no one will ever know what happened to you. Or you can promise not to ever tell anyone what you saw here and then nothing will happen. And you'll get cookies. Lots of cookies.

How is it that you called this extremely early morning meeting, yet I'm the one bringing breakfast?

Noah

'Cause you're a good guy.

The evidence seems to go in that direction.

Rick Grimes

You ever heard about the broken window theory? Boils down to this-- you keep the windows intact, you keep society intact.

Eugene Porter

So you’re aware, I’m on record as stating that I should not be here. You well know that I’m not combat ready or even for that matter combat inclined.

Eugene Porter

I got you all to DC, which, in this man's opinion, is damn near nirvana by current standards.

Tara Chambler

Except you didn't get us here. We got you here.

Eugene Porter

But were it not for me and my mention of this city's potential for home and hearth, not a one of you would have had the vision to come here, let alone the cojones to travail such a fraught and punishing pilgrimage. And that, sister, is a fact. That's as cold and hard as they come.

Tara Chambler

God, you're really that much of a coward?

Eugene Porter

Yes, I am. I told you I was.

Glenn Rhee

Nicholas, don't talk, just listen. Those four people you lost on that run, that's on you. And Noah, that's on you, too. Those five lives, you have to carry that. People like you are supposed to be dead, but these walls went up just in time, so you're not. You don't go outside those walls anymore. Not by yourself, not with anyone else. And that's how you're gonna survive.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Glenn Rhee

I'm someone who knows who you are. I know what you did. And it's not gonna happen again.

It's their world. We're just living in it.

Rick Grimes

You still don't get it. None of you do! We know what needs to be done and we do it. We're the ones who live. You, you just sit and plan and hesitate. You pretend like you know when you don't. You wish things weren't what they are. Well, you want to live? You want this place to stay standing? Your way of doing things is done. Things don't get better because you-- you want them to. Starting right now, we have to live in the real world. We have to control who lives here.

That's never been more clear to me than it is right now.

Rick Grimes

Me? Me? You-- You mean-- you mean me? Your way is gonna destroy this place. It's gonna get people killed. It's already gotten people killed. And I'm not gonna stand by and just let it happen. If you don't fight, you die. I'm not gonna stand by--

Morgan Jones

What's the W for?

You know, the first settlers here, they put bounties on wolves' heads. Brought the natives into it. Made them hunt them. Didn't take them too long to kill them all. They're back now. Thoughts?

Morgan Jones

Everything gets a return.

The cavemen, they were all nomads. And they all died. Then we evolved into this and we lived. Civilization starts when we stop running. When we live together. When we stop sending people away from the world and from each other.
