Quotes

Rick Grimes : So this is where you plan to do it?
Shane Walsh : As good a place as any.
Rick Grimes : At least have the balls to call this what it is: murder. You really believe if you walk back onto that farm alone, no me, no Randall...
Shane Walsh : Why don't you hush up?
Rick Grimes : You really believe they're gonna buy whatever bullshit story you cook up?
Shane Walsh : That's just it, it ain't no story. I saw that prisoner shoot you down. I ran after him, I snapped his neck. It ain't gonna be easy, but Lori and Carl, they'll get over you. They done it before. They just gonna have to.
[raises gun]
Rick Grimes : Why? Why now? I thought we worked this all out.
Shane Walsh : [chuckling] We tried to kill each other, man. What you think, we were just gonna forget about it? Oh, we gonna ride off into the sunset together?
Rick Grimes : You're gonna kill me in cold blood? Screw my wife? Have my children, *my* children, call you "daddy"? Is that what you want? That life won't be worth a damn. I know you. You won't be able to live with this.
Shane Walsh : What you know 'bout what I can live with? You got no idea what I can live with, what I live with! You wanna talk about what I can do, Rick? How 'bout what you can do.
[holsters weapon]
Shane Walsh : Here I am. Come on, man, raise your gun.
Rick Grimes : No. No, I will not.
Shane Walsh : What happened, Rick? I thought you weren't the good guy anymore; ain't that what you said? Even right here, right now, you ain't gonna fight for 'em? I'm a better father than you, Rick! I'm better for Lori than you, man! It's because I'm a better man than you, Rick, 'cause I can be here and I'll fight for it. But you come back here and you just *destroy* everything!... You got a broken woman. Y-you got a weak boy. You ain't got the first clue on how to fix it.
[points gun at Rick]
Shane Walsh : Raise your gun.
Rick Grimes : You're gonna have to kill an unarmed man.
-
Shane Walsh : THESE THINGS AIN'T SICK! They're not people! They're dead! Ain't got to feel nothin' 'cause all they do, they KILL! These things right here, they're the things that killed Amy! They killed Otis! And they'll kill all of us!
Rick Grimes : Shane, enough!
Shane Walsh : Hey you're right, man. That is enough.
[shoots one of the walkers]

Rick Grimes : [Hugging Lori] What happened to you?
Lori Grimes : I was in a car accident.
Rick Grimes : Accident? How?
Lori Grimes : I went looking for you.
Shane Walsh : Snuck out on her own. I brought her back.
Rick Grimes : Are you crazy? You could-...
Theodore 'T-Dog' Douglas : Who the Hell is that?
[Seeing Randall in the backseat of the car, tied up and blindfolded]
Glenn Rhee : That's Randall.
Rick Grimes : [Back inside the house] We couldn't just leave him behind. He would've bled out... if he lived that long.
Glenn Rhee : It's gotten bad in town.
Andrea Harrison : What do we do with him?
Hershel Greene : I repaired his calf muscle as best I can, but he'll probably have nerve damage. He won't be on his feet for, at least, a week.
Rick Grimes : When he is, we give him a canteen, take him out to the main roads, send him on his way.
Andrea Harrison : Isn't that the same as leaving him for the walkers?
Rick Grimes : He'll have a fighting chance.
Shane Walsh : Just gonna let him go? He knows where we are.
Rick Grimes : He was blindfolded the whole way here. He's not a threat.
Shane Walsh : Not a threat. How many more of them were there? You killed 3 of there men, you took one of them hostage, but they just ain't gonna come looking for him.
Rick Grimes : They left him for dead! No one is looking!
Theodore 'T-Dog' Douglas : We should still post a guard.
Hershel Greene : He's out cold right now. Will be for hours.
Shane Walsh : [Sarcastically] You know, I'm gonna get him some flowers and candy.
[He starts to walk away]
Shane Walsh : Look at this folks, we're back in Fantasy Land!
[Continues walking away]
Hershel Greene : You know, we haven't even dealt with what you did at my barn, yet! Let me make this perfectly clear once and for all. This is my farm and I wanted you gone. Rick talked me out of it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. So, do us both a favor: Keep your mouth shut!
[Shane walks away, storms out the front door]
Rick Grimes : [to Hershel] Look, we're not gonna do anything about today. Let's just cool off.

Rick Grimes : [while sitting in their squad car, eating burgers and fries together] What's the difference between men and women?
Shane Walsh : This a joke?
Rick Grimes : No. Serious.
Shane Walsh : Never met a woman who knew how to turn off a light. Born thinking the switch only goes one way: on. They're struck blind the second they leave the room. I mean, every woman I ever let have a key, I swear to God, it's like... come home, house all lit up. And my job is, apparently, because... because my chromosomes happen to be different, 'cause I gotta walk through that house, turn off every single light this chick left on.
Rick Grimes : Is that right?
Shane Walsh : Yeah, baby, mmm. Oh, Reverend Shane's a-preachin' to ya now, boy.
[They laugh]
Shane Walsh : Then, this same chick, mind ya, she'll bitch about Global Warming. See this...
[Shane laughs]
Shane Walsh : This is when Reverend Shane wants to quote from the "Guy" gospel and say, "Um, Darlin', maybe you and every other pair of boobs on this planet just figure out that the light switch, see, goes both ways, maybe we wouldn't have so much Global Warming".
Rick Grimes : You say that?
Shane Walsh : Well, a, uh, polite version.
[laughs]
Shane Walsh : Still, man, that, that earns me this, this look of loathing you would not believe. And that's when "The Exorcist" voice pops out: "YOU SOUND JUST LIKE MY DAMN FATHER ALWAYS, ALWAYS YELLING ABOUT THE POWER BILL, TELLING ME TO TURN OFF THE DAMN LIGHTS!"
Rick Grimes : And what do you say to that?
Shane Walsh : Know what I want to say. I want to say, "Bitch, you mean to tell me you've been hearing this your entire life and you are too damn stupid to learn how to turn off the switch?"
[Shane and Rick laugh more]
Shane Walsh : You know I...
[They continue laughing]
Shane Walsh : ... I don't actually say that, though.
Rick Grimes : [Still laughing] That would be bad.
Shane Walsh : Yeah. Yeah. I'd go with the, uh, go with the polite version there, too.
Rick Grimes : Very wise!
Shane Walsh : Yes, sir.
[laughs]
Rick Grimes : Mm-hmm.
Shane Walsh : [Few moments of silence] So, how's it with Lori, man?
Rick Grimes : She's good. She's good at turning off lights. Really good. I'm the one who, sometimes, forgets.
Shane Walsh : What a man.
Rick Grimes : We didn't have a great night.
Shane Walsh : Hey, look, man, I may have, uh, a phantom muse with mu sermon, but I did try. Least you could do is speak.
Rick Grimes : That's, that's what she always says. "Speak". "Speak". Think I was the most closed-mouth son-of-bitch ever to hear her talk.
Shane Walsh : Do you express your thoughts? Do you share your feelings? That kind of stuff?
Rick Grimes : Thing is... lately, whenever I try, everything I say makes her... impatient, like she didn't want to hear it after all. It's like she's... pissed at me all the time and I don't know why.
Shane Walsh : Look, man, that's just shit that couples' go through. Yeah, it's a, it's a phase.
Rick Grimes : [laughs a little] Last thing she said this morning: "Sometimes, I wonder if you even care about us at all". She said that in front of our kid. Imagine going to school with that in your head. The difference between men and women? I would never say something that cruel to her and certainly not in front of Carl.
