Quotes 

• [Dale tells Shane that he's been vague about Otis's death] 

  Shane Walsh : You think the group would be better off without me, Dale? Why don't you tell that to Rick or Lori? Their boy would be dead if I hadn't put my ass on the line.

  Dale Horvath : And Otis's.

  Dale Horvath : [Shane turns to walk off]  You've been vague about that night, about what happened.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane pauses]  Otis died a hero.

  Dale Horvath : So you've said.

  Shane Walsh : A little boy lived because of what went down that night. I think you ought to show some gratitude.

  Dale Horvath : I wasn't there.

  Shane Walsh : No, man, you weren't.

  Dale Horvath : But I was the time that you raised your gun on Rick.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane rolls his eyes]  Come on. Jesus.

  Dale Horvath : You had him in your sights and you held him there.

  [Shane shakes his head] 

• [Glenn tells Dale the secrets of both Hershel and Lori] 

  Dale Horvath : Want to tell me what's going on?

  Glenn Rhee : You're old. You're... You know things. So. What if somebody told you something that somebody else should know...

  Dale Horvath : Glenn, stop being dramatic. Spit it out.

  Glenn Rhee : There's... there's Walkers in the barn and Lori's pregnant.

  [as Dale makes an alarming face without responding] 

• [Dale talks to Hershel about finding the Walkers in the barn] 

  Dale Horvath : I love your fields. Took a long walk this morning. I ended up by the barn. I heard the moans.

  Hershel Greene : That's unfortunate.

  Dale Horvath : I'm sure you have your reasons for keeping this a secret.

  Hershel Greene : I saw the broadcasts before they stopped, saw the irrational fear, the atrocities, like the incident at my well.

  Dale Horvath : We put down a Walker.

  Hershel Greene : You killed a person.

• [Dale talks to Hershel about the Walkers being dangerous] 

  Dale Horvath : If you watched the same broadcasts I did, you saw Walkers attack, kill. They're dangerous.

  Hershel Greene : A paranoid schizophrenic is dangerous too. We don't shoot sick people.

  Dale Horvath : With all due respect, you are cut off from the outside world here. But I've seen people that I cared about die and come back, and they're not people.

  Hershel Greene : My wife and stepson are in that barn. They're people.

  Dale Horvath : I'm sorry.

• [Dale talks to Lori about his wife being pregnant once] 

  Dale Horvath : [Dale walks silently up beside Lori]  She miscarried and we didn't try again after that.

  Lori Grimes : I'm so sorry.

  Dale Horvath : The thing that I remember most is how nauseated she became at the smell of cooking meat.

  Dale Horvath : [as Lori smiles]  And she was a meat-eating gal... my wife, but with the pregnancy... that Thanksgiving, the turkey... she-she couldn't be in the house for two days until it was aired out, poor thing.

  Lori Grimes : Glenn told you?

  Dale Horvath : What did you expect? The boy has no guile.

• [Lori tells Dale why she wanted to have a baby] 

  Lori Grimes : Look, I thought my husband was dead. And I felt like I died with him. And I... I wanted to feel something... anything. And now I hate myself for it.

  Dale Horvath : And the baby?

  Lori Grimes : It's Rick's. None of the rest of it matters.

• [Lori tells Dale what concerns her most about her unborn baby] 

  Lori Grimes : Memories are what keep me going now. Memories of what life used to be. And I... I've got a deep well to draw on. I still remember joy. But I think Carl's well is already running dry. And this baby... The baby won't have any good memories at all, only fear and pain.

  Dale Horvath : You can't think like that.

  Dale Horvath : [Lori chuckles]  We can still find joy and we can still take strength from each other.

  Lori Grimes : Do you really think this baby has a chance, that it could grow up and live a happy life?

  Lori Grimes : [Lori with tears in her eyes]  Look me in the eye and tell me that my baby will grow up to be your age and die happy.

  Lori Grimes : [Lori in a low voice]  Tell me. Tell me you believe that.

• [Dale tells Shane that he knows what kind of man he is] 

  Dale Horvath : [Dale in a low voice]  I know what kind of man you are.

  Shane Walsh : [Shane pauses, responding in a low voice]  You think I'd shoot Rick? That is my best friend. That's the man that I love. I love him like he's my brother. You think that's the kind of man I am?

  Dale Horvath : [Dale quietly]  That's right.

  Shane Walsh : Well, maybe we ought to just think that through. Say I'm the kind of man who'd gun down his own best friend. What'd you think I'd do to some guy that I don't even like when he starts throwing accusations my way? What you think?

  [Shane scoffs before walking off as Dale's voice shivers]
