Jeffrey DeMunn: Dale Horvath

Quotes 

• [Dale walks up to Andrea who sits over her dead sister] 

  Dale Horvath : I came to pay my respects.

  Dale Horvath : [as Dale sits beside Andrea]  Did I ever mention how I lost my wife?

  Andrea : Cancer, wasn't it?

  Dale Horvath : Yeah. I-I dragged her to every doctor, every test. And after all the surgeries and the chemo's, she was ready. She accepted it, you know? But I never could. And I spent the last few years so angry. I felt so cheated. Since she passed, you girls were the first people... That I cared anything for.

• [Daryl suggests putting a pickaxe in Jim's head] 

  Daryl Dixon : I say we put a pickaxe in his head and the dead girl's and be done with it.

  Shane Walsh : Is that what you'd want if it were you?

  Daryl Dixon : Yeah, and I'd thank you while you did it.

  Dale Horvath : I hate to say it... I never thought I would... But maybe Daryl's right.

• [Dale finds Shane in the woods who has his weapon locked-on Rick from behind] 

  Dale Horvath : Jesus.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane chuckles]  I know. Gonna have to start wearing reflective vests out here. Seriously.

  [as Dale remains frightened of Shane] 

• [Dale thanks Jim for fighting for them before saying goodbye] 

  Dale Horvath : [Dale smiles]  Oh. Hey. Thanks for, uh, for fighting for us.

  Jim : Okay.

• [Dale sits with Andrea over her dead sister Amy] 

  Dale Horvath : [when Andrea pulls out the mermaid necklace]  This is her birthday?

  Andrea : Her birthday was always like... Like a week long affair. But I somehow always missed it. I was away at college or too busy for kid's parties. She'd call all excited. I always said that I'd make it home and I really always meant to, but I never made it past that phone call.

  Dale Horvath : I know things are hard enough for you without adding guilt into the mix, huh?

  [when Andrea puts the necklace around Amy's neck] 

• [Dale tells Rick that he's out of duct tape for the RV hose] 

  Dale Horvath : I told you we'd never get far on that hose. I said I needed the one from the cube van.

  Rick Grimes : Can you jury-rig it?

  Dale Horvath : That's all it's been so far. It's more duct tape than hose. And I'm out of duct tape.

• [Lori tells Rick, Shane and Dale that it's not their call to leave Jim behind] 

  Rick Grimes : I would say yes.

  Dale Horvath : Back in the camp when I said Daryl might be right and you shut me down, you misunderstood. I would never go along with callously killing a man. I was just gonna suggest that we ask Jim what he wants. And I think we have an answer.

  Shane Walsh : We just leave him here? We take off? Man, I'm not sure I could live with that.

  Lori Grimes : It's not your call, either one of you.
