Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Carl Grimes : [Carl and his mother Lori help feed Hershel's chickens in the morning]  Don't look so worried.

  Lori Grimes : It's my job.

  Carl Grimes : No, it's not. You're a housewife.

  Lori Grimes : [Lori smiles, throwing some chicken feed at Carl]  Yeah, punk? You see my house around here?

• [Carl comments to his mother that the baby chickens don't have a mother] 

  Carl Grimes : They don't have a mother.

  Lori Grimes : She might be somewhere else.

  Carl Grimes : Maybe she got eaten.

  Carl Grimes : [Lori gets quiet]  Everything is food for something else.

• [Lori, Rick, and Shane discuss on whether or not Carl should carry a gun] 

  Shane Walsh : [Shane about training Carl]  Now it's none of my business, but I'm happy to do it. It's your call.

  Lori Grimes : I'm not comfortable with it.

  Lori Grimes : [Lori looks to Rick has he remains quiet]  Oh, don't make me out to be the unreasonable one here. Rick?

  Rick Grimes : I know. I have my concerns too, but...

  Lori Grimes : There's no but. He was just shot. He's just back on his feet and he wants a gun?

  Rick Grimes : Better than him being afraid of 'em.

• [last lines] 

  Rick Grimes : [Lori tells Rick about Shane and her]  Is there anything else I should know about?

  Lori Grimes : [Lori whispers]  Shane and I.

  Rick Grimes : I know. Of course I know. You thought I was dead. The world went to shit and you thought I was dead. Right?

  Lori Grimes : [Lori nods side-to-side before nodding up-and-down and cries]  Yeah.

• [Hershel asks Lori how her son Carl did at training to shoot] 

  Hershel Greene : I take it your boy did well.

  Lori Grimes : Not bad, actually.

  Hershel Greene : [Hershel chuckles]  Be grateful you don't have a daughter. If only things were as simple as wanting to shoot.

• [Rick tells Lori that he can't handle her looking scared] 

  Rick Grimes : [Lori stares at Rick when she finds out Hershel wants them out]  Don't look at me like that.

  Lori Grimes : Like what?

  Rick Grimes : Like you're scared. Like you don't trust me. I can take it from everyone else, but not from you.

• [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.

• [Glenn tells Lori that Maggie was almost attacked at the pharmacy] 

  Lori Grimes : The blood on Maggie's shirt...

  Glenn Rhee : She was attacked.

  Lori Grimes : Are you guys all right? How bad was it?

  Glenn Rhee : It was pretty close.

  Lori Grimes : I'm so sorry. I should never have asked you to go.

  Glenn Rhee : I offered.

  Lori Grimes : I thought the town was safe, but if you hadn't come back...

  Glenn Rhee : [Glenn smiles]  But we did. I always do.

• [Glenn tells Lori that she shouldn't have to make a choice alone about her baby] 

  Lori Grimes : Prenatal vitamins. That's a hell of a choice.

  Glenn Rhee : I'm glad it's not mine. Lori, we're friends, aren't we?

  Lori Grimes : With everything we've been through... Yeah.

  Glenn Rhee : I can't tell you what to do. I could never tell you something like that. But your choice... Maybe you shouldn't make it alone.

• [Rick confronts Lori about her being pregnant] 

  Rick Grimes : Is there something you need to tell me?

  Lori Grimes : We can't leave. I'm pregnant.

  Rick Grimes : [Rick holds up the abortion pills wrapper]  Are you?

  Lori Grimes : I threw them up. You can yell if you want. You can scream if you have to, but talk to me.

  Rick Grimes : How long have you known?

  Lori Grimes : Does it matter? Days? Weeks?

  Rick Grimes : And you didn't tell me?

  Lori Grimes : I'm telling you now.

  Rick Grimes : No!

• [Lori tells Rick why she doesn't want the baby] 

  Lori Grimes : We can't protect the son we already have.

  Rick Grimes : So this is the solution?

  Lori Grimes : Rick, I threw them up. I screwed up. I don't know how we do this.

  Rick Grimes : [Lori cries]  We can make it work.

  Lori Grimes : How? Tell me how.

  Rick Grimes : We'll figure it out. Shouldn't we try to figure it out? You threw up the pills. You want this baby. I know you do.

  Lori Grimes : [Lori in tears]  Not like this. Not giving birth in a ditch. Not when its life will hang by a thread from the second it's born. Not when every cry will put it, and Carl, and everyone we care about, in danger. That's not right.

  Rick Grimes : Not even giving it a chance isn't right either.

• [Lori tells Rick that she didn't want to tell him about the baby to not be on his conscience] 

  Lori Grimes : Maybe this is why I didn't want to tell you.

  Rick Grimes : [Rick with tears in his eyes]  I still... I still don't understand why. You really think I'd make you have a baby you don't want?

  Lori Grimes : [Lori in a low voice]  No, no, so that if I went through with it, it would be on my conscience and not yours.

  Rick Grimes : [Rick in a low voice]  Maybe that's true, but... I can't live like this anymore, Lori. We can't live like this.
