The Walking Dead Season 1 quotes

Rick Grimes

I don't want to lie anymore.

Carol Peletier

You said you don't want to take this place. And you don't want to lie? Oh, sunshine, you don't get both.

Carol Peletier

[to Pete] I could kill you right now. I could. I will. And then who would believe I did it because I didn't like you? No one. They'd believe you tried to hurt me. Definitely believe that. Come at me. No? Yeah? No. The way this has played out, you have a chance. You're here. Your wife's there. You're a small, weak nothing. And with the world how it is, you're even weaker. Play your cards right, maybe you don't have to die. And I want my dish back clean when you're done.

Daryl Dixon

Why?

Morgan Jones

Why? Because all life is precious, Daryl.

Rick Grimes

I know this sounds insane, but this is an insane world. We have to come for them before they come for us, it's that simple.

Eugene Porter

[to Heath] I fully respect the hair game.

This was supposed to be a dress rehearsal.

Glenn Rhee

I'm supposed to be delivering pizzas, man.

Maggie Greene

[to Tara] Glenn saves people. Even people like that. I couldn't accept it either. But then I thought about you. How we were on different sides of that fence on the worst day of my life. And now you're one of the most important people in the world to me. Things can get better. We can make them better.

Abraham Ford

[to Sasha] Well, look at me. You didn't see Reg the night he got it. That was a mess. And Pete. His face just blowing up like Pompeii right when we were cheek to cheek. I still think I got some of his brains in my ear.

Morgan Jones

You with that man Carter, in the armory-- that's you. You're still the same man I met in King County. The one that came back and told me it wasn't over. That was you. Same you that's right in front of me right now.

Rick Grimes

I wanted to kill him. So it would be easier. So I wouldn't have to worry about how he could screw up or what stupid thing he'd do next because that's who he is. Just somebody who shouldn't be alive now. I wanted to kill him. But all that hit me and I realized I didn't have to do it. He doesn't get it. Somebody like that they're gonna die no matter what.

Carol Peletier

[to Sam] Your dad used to hit you and then he got himself killed. It happened. Now it's done. You live with it or it eats you up. Go home.

Listen, I'm a little nervous here. I'm a psychiatrist. I went to med school. I was even gonna be a surgeon, but after the panic attacks, I got really interested in psychology. And I think I'm really trying to lower expectations here.

Morgan Jones

My people have guns. Yours don't. They may be aiming rifles at you right now. Eyes at the scopes. Fingers on the trigger. Boom. It's gonna happen any second now unless you get the hell out of here and you don't ever come back. You keep choosing this life, you will die.

We didn't choose.

Are you?

If you have to eat shit, best not to nibble. Bite, chew, swallow, repeat. It goes quicker.

Glenn Rhee

People you love, they made you who you are. They're still part of you. If you stop being you, that last bit of them that's still around inside, who you are, it's gone.
