Quotes 

• [Hershel and Rick gather the Walkers from the river to take back to the barn] 

  Hershel Greene : You're the carrot, not the stick.

  Rick Grimes : [Rick shouts]  What?

  Hershel Greene : You heard me, just lead him. He'll come to you.

  Rick Grimes : [about Otis]  You told me he handled them easily. This is easy?

  Hershel Greene : It's easier than some things.

• [Rick tells Hershel about him and his group finding the Walkers in the barn] 

  Hershel Greene : Leave it be.

  Rick Grimes : Well, I'd like to talk about it, but either way... your barn, your farm, your say.

  Hershel Greene : I don't want to talk about the barn. I don't want to debate.

  Rick Grimes : Not a debate, a discussion.

  Hershel Greene : [Hershel pauses]  I need you and your group gone by the end of the week.

• [Rick tells Hershel that the world out there is much, much worse] 

  Rick Grimes : You and I have our differences with the way we look at the Walkers. Those people... they may be dead, they may be alive. But my people, us, we are alive right now, right here, right in front of you. You send us out there and that could change.

  Hershel Greene : I've given you safe harbor. My conscience is clear.

  Rick Grimes : [Rick sits next to Hershel]  This farm... This farm is special. You've been shielded from what's been going on out there. Dale said you saw everything happen on the news. Well, it's been... It's been a long time since the cameras stopped rolling.

  Rick Grimes : [Hershel gets up from his chair as Rick follows]  The first time I saw a Walker it was just half a body snapping at me from the ground. My inclination wasn't to kill it. But what the world is out there isn't what you saw on TV. It is much, much worse and it changes you. Either into one of them, or something a lot less than the person you were. Please do not... do not send us out there again.

• [Rick tells Hershel that his wife Lori is pregnant] 

  Rick Grimes : My wife's pregnant.

  Rick Grimes : [as Rick pauses]  That's either a gift here or a death sentence out there. If we were to stay we could help you with the work, with securing this place. We can survive together.

  Hershel Greene : Rick, I'm telling you we can't.

  Rick Grimes : You think about this. You think about what you're doing.

  Hershel Greene : [Hershel shouts]  I've thought about it.

  Rick Grimes : Think about it.

  Hershel Greene : [Hershel yells]  I've thought about it!

  Rick Grimes : [Rick shouts]  Think about it again. We can't go out there.

• [Maggie tells Hershel to love one another as she has loved him] 

  Hershel Greene : So we just keep these people here forever? How are they my responsibility?

  Maggie Greene : 'A new command I give to you: Love one another as I have loved you.' That's what you told me, right? I was mad about mom. Mad about you marrying Annette. I was 14 years old and I was awful, to you more than anybody. All I wanted to do was smoke and shoplift. 'Love one another.' That's what you told me.

  Hershel Greene : Maggie. That was different.

  Maggie Greene : No. You're different.

• [Maggie tells Hershel that this is about him] 

  Hershel Greene : Is this about you and the Asian boy? Do you want me to...

  Maggie Greene : [Maggie starts to tear up]  No. His name is Glenn. He saved my life yesterday when one of the people you think is sick tried to kill me. How's that for dramatic? Things aren't what you think they are. They aren't. Don't do this. Okay? It's not about me and Glenn. It's not about me and you. It's about you.

• [Hershel asks Rick if he can stop killing the Walkers] 

  Hershel Greene : How many have you killed?

  Rick Grimes : Too many to count.

  Hershel Greene : [as Hershel and Rick find two Walkers stuck in the river]  Can you stop? There are people out there who haven't been in their right minds, people who I believe can be restored.

  Rick Grimes : You're not talking about the Walkers, are you?

  Hershel Greene : It doesn't matter if you see them as human beings anymore. But if you and your people are going to stay here, that's how you're gonna have to treat them. My farm, my barn, my say.

• [Shane and the group see Hershel and Rick guiding the Pole-Walkers to the barn] 

  Shane Walsh : Are you kidding me? You see? You see what they're holding onto?

  Hershel Greene : I see who I'm holding onto.

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