Quotes 

• [Rick tells Shane that Lori has to be there with him and Carl] 

  Rick Grimes : Lori has to be here, Shane. She has to know.

  Shane Walsh : Okay, I get that. I'm gonna handle it. But you've got to handle your end.

  Rick Grimes : My-my end?

  Shane Walsh : Your end is being here, for your son. Even if he didn't need your blood to survive, there is no way I'd ever let you walk out that door. Man, I'd break your legs if you tried. I mean, you know that, right? If something happened to him and you weren't here... If-if he slipped away while you were gone, you would never forgive yourself for that, and neither would Lori, man.

  Rick Grimes : You're right.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane smiles]  When was I ever wrong?

• [Rick tells Hershel that there is no cure to the dead coming back to life] 

  Rick Grimes : We were at the CDC... It's-it's gone now. There is no cure.

  Hershel Greene : I don't believe it. When aids came along, everyone panicked. One boy in town came down with it and some parents pulled their children from school so they didn't have to sit in the same room.

  Rick Grimes : This is a whole other thing.

  Hershel Greene : That's what we always say. 'This one's different.'

  Rick Grimes : Well, this one is.

  Hershel Greene : Mankind's been fighting plagues from the start. We get our behinds kicked for a while, then we bounce back. It's nature correcting herself, restoring some balance.

  Rick Grimes : I wish I could believe that.

• [Rick tells Lori that he needs to go after Shane] 

  Lori Grimes : Are you insane? You're not going after them.

  Hershel Greene : Rick, listen to your wife.

  Rick Grimes : If they got into trouble...

  Hershel Greene : You're in no condition to do anything about it. You've given too much blood. You're barely on your feet. You wouldn't make it across the yard.

  Rick Grimes : [Rick looks to Lori]  Something happened, I have to go.

  Lori Grimes : No, your place is here. If Shane said he'll be back, he'll be back. He's like you that way.

  Rick Grimes : I can't just sit here.

  Lori Grimes : [Lori shouts at Rick]  That's exactly what you do! If you need to pray or cry or tell God he's cruel, you go right ahead, but you're not leaving, Rick. Carl needs you, here.

  Lori Grimes : [Lori in a low voice]  And I can't do this by myself. Not this one. I can't... I can't.

• [Rick meets Hershel Greene for the first time when he takes the wounded Carl to the Greene residents] 

  Hershel Greene : Your name?

  Rick Grimes : R-Rick.

  Hershel Greene : Rick?

  Rick Grimes : [Rick with tears in his eyes]  I'm-I'm-I'm Rick.

  Hershel Greene : Rick, we're gonna do everything we can, okay? You need to give us some room.

• [Otis says he never saw Carl until he hit the ground] 

  Otis : I never saw him. Not until he was on the ground.

  Rick Grimes : Lori doesn't know?

  Shane Walsh : No, she...

  Rick Grimes : [Rick begins to cry to Shane]  My wife doesn't know. My wife doesn't know.

• [Rick questions himself to Shane on why he let Carl go with them both] 

  Rick Grimes : Why'd I let him come with us? I should've sent him with Lori.

  Shane Walsh : You know, you start that, you never get that monkey off your back.

  Rick Grimes : [Rick with tears in his eyes]  Little girl goes missing, you look for her. Simple.

• [Hershel operates on Carl requesting blood from Rick] 

  Hershel Greene : [as Carl screams uncontrollably]  Almost there.

  Rick Grimes : [Rick screams to Hershel]  Stop! You're killing him!

  Hershel Greene : Rick, do you want him to live?

  Patricia : [as Carl cries in his screams]  He needs blood.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane screams to Rick]  Do it now!

• [Shane tells Rick that he has the hard part of staying with Carl] 

  Shane Walsh : You know, when... When you were in that hospital, the one you were never supposed to leave, man... You should have seen Lori. She was like... The strength of that woman...

  Shane Walsh : [Shane chuckles]  You can't imagine it. See-see, that's what you gotta have now. I mean, Carl, he needs that from you. So you wire yourself tight, my friend. Hmm?

  Shane Walsh : [Shane puts his hands around Rick's head]  You hear? You've got the hard part. You just leave the rest to me, okay?

  Rick Grimes : [as Rick holds Shane]  All right. All right.

• [Rick talks to Hershel about his farm being beautiful from the rest of the world] 

  Rick Grimes : This place is beautiful.

  Hershel Greene : Been in my family 160 years.

  Rick Grimes : I can't believe how serene it is. How untouched. You're lucky.

  Hershel Greene : We weren't completely unscathed. We lost friends, neighbors. The epidemic took my wife, my stepson.

  Rick Grimes : I'm sorry.

  Hershel Greene : My daughters were spared. I'm grateful to God for that. These people here, all we've got left is each other.

• [Lori asks Rick how many transfusions he's given Carl] 

  Lori Grimes : How many transfusions?

  Rick Grimes : Two... Only two.

  Lori Grimes : You know he wanted to do the same for you when you were in the hospital. I had to talk him out of it.

• [Lori asks Hershel what kind of doctor is he as they talk about surgery for Carl] 

  Lori Grimes : Okay... I mean, you've done this procedure before?

  Hershel Greene : Well, yes, in a sense.

  Lori Grimes : In a sense?

  Rick Grimes : Honey, we don't have the luxury of shopping for a surgeon.

  Lori Grimes : No, I understand that. But, I mean, you're a doctor, right?

  Hershel Greene : Yes, ma'am. Of course. A vet.

  Lori Grimes : A veteran? A combat medic?

  Hershel Greene : A veterinarian.

  Lori Grimes : And you've done this surgery before on what? Cows? pigs?

  Rick Grimes : [Rick nearly falls over]  I... I have... I have to sit.
