Sarah Wayne Callies: Lori Grimes

Quotes 

• [Maggie tells Lori that Glenn isn't the same] 

  Maggie Greene : He's not the same. Says he froze. Blames me. Says I got inside his head.

  Lori Grimes : He came back... that's what matters. Men have to do certain things... You know that... And they're either gonna blame the little woman as the reason they do 'em or the reason they don't. I'll tell you something... what happens out there happens out there. And we... we're just trying to keep it together till they get back.

  Maggie Greene : Things were good. Maybe I...

  Lori Grimes : Glenn's a big boy. He makes his own choices, and then you... Do you have anything to apologize for? Tell him to man up and pull himself together. Just don't say 'man up.'

  Lori Grimes : [Lori chuckles]  It never goes well

• [Lori and Andrea argue about which one of them contributes more to the group] 

  Andrea Harrison : I contribute. I help keep this place safe.

  Lori Grimes : The men can handle this on their own. They don't need your help.

  Andrea Harrison : I'm sorry. What would you have me do?

  Lori Grimes : Oh, there's plenty of work to go around.

  Andrea Harrison : Are you serious? Everything falls apart, you're in my face over skipping laundry?

  Lori Grimes : Puts a burden on the rest of us, on me and Carol, and Patricia and Maggie. Cooking, cleaning and caring for Beth. And you... you don't care about anyone but yourself... You sit up on that RV, working on your tan with a shotgun in your lap.

  Andrea Harrison : No, I am on watch against Walkers. That is what matters, not fresh mint leaves in the lemonade.

• [Andrea tells Lori that she's the one taking things for granted] 

  Lori Grimes : You're insane.

  Andrea Harrison : No, you are. And you're the one that's self-centered, the way you take it all for granted.

  Lori Grimes : My husband is out there for the hundredth time. My son was shot. Don't you dare tell me I take this for granted!

  Andrea Harrison : You don't get it, do you? Your husband came back from the dead, your son too. And now you've got a baby on the way. The rest of us have piled up our losses... Me, Carol, Beth... but you just keep on keeping on.

  Lori Grimes : We have all suffered.

  Andrea Harrison : Playing house, acting like the queen bee, laying down rules for everybody but yourself.

• [Beth asks Lori how could she get pregnant] 

  Beth Greene : You're pregnant. How could you do that?

  Lori Grimes : Uh, I don't really have a choice.

  Beth Greene : You think it'll make a difference?

• [Lori tries to calm Beth down from crying] 

  Lori Grimes : I know how hard it is. I tried for days to reach my mom, and get her on the phone. I can only assume...

  Beth Greene : [Beth cries]  It's just so pointless.

  Lori Grimes : Oh. You have Maggie, and your father, Patricia and Jimmy. And you've gotta stay strong for them. I wish I could promise you it would be all right in the end. I can't, but we can make now all right... And we have to.

  Beth Greene : [Beth with tears in her eyes]  Thank you.

• [Lori and Andrea listen to Maggie and Beth fight upstairs] 

  Lori Grimes : It's a family affair. We'll let them work it out.

  Andrea Harrison : That's working it out?

  Lori Grimes : When Beth stops fighting, that's when it's time to worry.

• [Andrea tries to tell Lori that it's not their choice to stop Beth from committing suicide] 

  Andrea Harrison : You shouldn't have taken the knife away.

  Lori Grimes : Excuse me?

  Andrea Harrison : You were wrong, like Dale taking my gun. That wasn't your decision. She has to choose to live on her own. She has to find her own reasons.

  Lori Grimes : Want me to tie a noose for her?

• [Maggie and Lori try to get Beth to come out of the locked bathroom] 

  Maggie Greene : Beth honey, please open the door. I'm not mad. I'm not mad, Beth.

  Lori Grimes : [Lori moves Maggie away from the bathroom door]  Maggie. Hang on.

  Beth Greene : [Lori opens the door with a crowbar, as Beth bleeds from her wrist]  I'm sorry.

  Maggie Greene : [Maggie walks Beth out as the two cry in each other's arms]  It's okay. It's okay.

• [Andrea tells Maggie that Beth will live from her attempted suicide] 

  Andrea Harrison : How bad is she?

  Lori Grimes : It wasn't deep.

  Andrea Harrison : She wants to live. She made her decision.

  Maggie Greene : She tried to kill herself.

  Andrea Harrison : No, she didn't.

  Maggie Greene : My father is stitching her wrist right now.

  Andrea Harrison : She'll live.

• [Lori tells Maggie that sometimes you have to cross the line to want to live] 

  Lori Grimes : [about Beth]  I'm not gonna say she was right, but Beth has made her choice. She wants to live and now she knows it... And sometimes you have to cross the line.
