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 : [fed up with everyone questioning his leadership]  Maybe you people are better off without me. Go ahead. I say there's a place for us, but maybe it's just another pipe dream. Maybe I'm fooling myself again. Why don't you go find out yourself? Send me a postcard! Go on, there's the door. You can do better, let's see how far you get. [no one moves or says anything]  Rick Grimes : No takers? Fine, but get one thing straight. If you're staying, this isn't a democracy anymore.

[recurring line]  Rick Grimes : CARL!

The Governor : I thought you were a cop, not a lawyer. Rick Grimes : Either way, I don't pretend to be a governor. The Governor : I told you, I'm their leader. Rick Grimes : You're the town drunk who knocked over my fence and ripped up my yard, nothing more. The Governor : Didn't you ever misjudge someone? Hm? Andrea told me about your baby. That it might be your partner's. But you're caring for her and I admire that. Restitution for your own lack of insight. For failing to see the devil beside you. Rick Grimes : Oh, I see him all right.

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.

Rick Grimes : [when he kills Shane]  Damn you for making me do this, Shane! This was you, not me! YOU did this to us! This was you! Not me! Not me!

Rick Grimes : [uncensored version]  They are fucking with the wrong people.

Rick Grimes : You're a man of God. Have some faith. Hershel Greene : I can't profess to understand God's plan. Christ promised the resurrection of the dead. I just thought he had something a little different in mind.
