Quotes 

• [Dale asks the group how are they better then the people they're afraid of] 

  Patricia : If you go through with it, how would you do it? Would he suffer?

  Shane Walsh : We could hang him, right? Just snap his neck.

  Rick Grimes : I thought about that. Shooting may be more humane.

  Theodore 'T-Dog' Douglas : And what about the body? Do we bury him?

  Dale Horvath : Hold on, hold on! You're talking about this like it's already decided.

  Daryl Dixon : You've been talking all day, going around in circles. You just wanna go around in circles again?

  Dale Horvath : This is a young man's life, and it is worth more than a five-minute conversation! We kill someone because we can't decide what else to do with him? You saved him and now look at us. He's been tortured. He's gonna be executed. How are we any better than those people that we're so afraid of?

• [Shane asks if Andrea believes in Dale's sob story about Randall] 

  Shane Walsh : So what? You buy into Dale's sob story?

  Andrea Harrison : I told him I was with you on this.

  Shane Walsh : Mmm... you're just still here for him, huh? That's cute.

• [Shane lectures Carl about talking to Randall in the shed] 

  Shane Walsh : Carl, quit trying to get yourself killed, man.

• [Dale tells Shane that they've never seen eye to eye much] 

  Dale Horvath : I know you and I will never see eye to eye on much...

  Shane Walsh : Say that's the understatement of the year, huh?

• [Shane sees Andrea guarding Randall at the shed] 

  Shane Walsh : Dale, huh? What, he put you on death watch? Let me ask you something... say I wanted to go in there right now and I just wanted to take care of this, you gonna stop me? Hmm?

  Andrea Harrison : [Andrea smiles]  I had a good teacher.

• [Shane suggests to Andrea that they take all of the group's weapons for themselves] 

  Shane Walsh : Let me ask you something... every time we have a problem around here, who do you think's behind it?

  Andrea Harrison : Some might say you.

  Shane Walsh : Nah. No one listens to me. I say it's the guys that make up the rules, the boys that always have all the answers, even though their answers always prove wrong.

  Andrea Harrison : So what are you gonna do? Rick's the leader of this group, it's Hershel's farm.

  Shane Walsh : Maybe we oughta change that.

  Andrea Harrison : What, are you gonna lock 'em in a room and take their guns?

  Shane Walsh : [Shane stares back at Andrea]  I don't know. That could get out of hand.

• [Shane holds a gun in Randall's mouth for talking to Carl] 

  Shane Walsh : [Shane yells]  What did you say to him? What did you say to him, huh?

  Randall Culver : I didn't say nothing.

  Andrea Harrison : Hey, hey.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane pulls his gun out]  Let me tell you something... I will shoot you where you sit.

  Andrea Harrison : Okay Shane, not now.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane screams]  Open your mouth. Open your mouth.

  Andrea Harrison : Shane.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane holds his finger on the trigger]  You like talking, man? You like talking?

  Andrea Harrison : Back off!

• [Shane tells Dale that any bloodshed from Randall is on his hands] 

  Dale Horvath : So let's talk about this like men.

  Shane Walsh : Okay. You deny we're in danger, Dale?

  Dale Horvath : No, but there's a dozen of us, one of him.

  Shane Walsh : There's 30 of them.

  Dale Horvath : Killing him doesn't change that...

  Shane Walsh : No.

  Dale Horvath : But it changes us.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane chuckles]  You... you got balls, Dale. I'm gonna give you that. Now... I'll tell you what... in a little bit, when y'all gather, you're gonna talk about this. If you've convinced them to keep this guy alive, then I ain't gonna say a damn word about it, okay? But I'm telling you now, man to man, you're wrong. And when this guy kills somebody, I ain't gonna need to say anything, because that blood... that's gonna be on you.

• [Dale learns that he's the only one defending Randall from being executed] 

  Rick Grimes : Well, let's... let's just see where everybody stands, then we can talk through the options.

  Shane Walsh : Well, where I sit, there's only one way to move forward.

  Dale Horvath : Killing him, right? I mean, why even bother to even take a vote? It's clear which way the wind's blowing.

  Rick Grimes : Well, if people believe we should spare him, I wanna know.

  Dale Horvath : Well, I can tell you it's a small group... maybe just me and Glenn.

  Glenn Rhee : [Glenn hesitates to disagree with Dale]  Look, I... I think you're pretty much right about everything, all the time, but this...

  Dale Horvath : They've got you scared.

  Glenn Rhee : He's not one of us. And we've... we've lost too many people already.

• [the group express their lack of trust in having Randall alive] 

  Dale Horvath : He could be an asset. Give him a chance to prove himself.

  Glenn Rhee : Put him to work?

  Rick Grimes : We're not letting him walk around.

  Maggie Greene : We could put an escort on him.

  Shane Walsh : Who wants to volunteer for that duty?

  Dale Horvath : I will.

  Rick Grimes : I don't think any of us should be walking around with this guy.

  Lori Grimes : He's right. I wouldn't feel safe unless he was tied up.

  Maggie Greene : We can't exactly put chains around his ankles, sentence him to hard labor.

• [Dale tells the group if they execute Randall then there's no hope for all of them] 

  Shane Walsh : Look, say we let him join us, right? Maybe he's helpful, maybe he's nice. We let our guard down and maybe he runs off, brings back his 30 men.

  Dale Horvath : So the answer is to kill him to prevent a crime that he may never even attempt? If we do this, we're saying there's no hope.
