Quotes 

• [Rick and Hershel argue at the bar about the promises Rick made to being the leader] 

  Rick Grimes : I promised Maggie I'd bring you home safe.

  Hershel Greene : Like you promised that little girl?

  Rick Grimes : So what's your plan? Finish that bottle? Drink yourself to death and leave your girls alone?

  Hershel Greene : Stop telling me how to care for my family, my farm. You people are like a plague! I do the Christian thing, give you shelter, and you destroy it all!

  Rick Grimes : [Rick stands face-to-face with Hershel]  The world was already in bad shape when we met.

  Hershel Greene : [Hershel shouts]  And you take no responsibility! You're supposed to be their leader!

  Rick Grimes : [Rick shouts]  Well, I'm here now, aren't I?

  Hershel Greene : Yes. Yes. Yes, you are.

• [Dave at the bar asks Hershel if he wants a drink with the rest of them] 

  Dave : How about you, pal? Have one?

  Hershel Greene : I just quit.

  Dave : [Dave smiles]  You've got a unique sense of timing, my friend.

  Rick Grimes : His name's Hershel. He lost people today, a lot of them.

  Dave : I'm truly sorry to hear that. To better days and new friends. And to our dead... may they be in a better place.

  [everyone drinks to the toast] 

• [Rick tells Hershel at the bar that there's still hope] 

  Rick Grimes : You thought there was a cure. Can't blame yourself for holding out for hope.

  Hershel Greene : Hope? When I first saw you running across my field with your boy in your arms, I had little hope he would survive.

  Rick Grimes : But he did.

  Hershel Greene : He did. Even though we lost Otis. Your man Shane made it back and we saved your boy. That was the miracle that proved to me miracles do exist. Only it was a sham, a bait and switch. I was a fool, Rick, and you people saw that. My daughters deserve better than that.

• [Rick sees Hershel at the bar with a glass of liquor in front of him] 

  Rick Grimes : How many have you had?

  Hershel Greene : Not enough.

  Rick Grimes : Let's finish this up back at home.

• [Glenn sees Hershel at the bar asking Rick what they should do] 

  Glenn : So what do we do? Just wait for him to pass out?

  Hershel Greene : [Hershel hears the comment]  Just go.

• [Hershel tells Rick at the bar that there is no hope] 

  Rick Grimes : Your girls need you now more than ever.

  Hershel Greene : I didn't want to believe you. You told me there was no cure, that these people were dead, not sick. I chose not to believe that. But when Shane shot Lou in the chest and she just kept coming, that's when I knew what an ass I'd been, that Annette had been dead long ago and I was feeding a rotten corpse! That's when I knew there was no hope. And when that little girl came out of the barn, the look on your face... I knew you knew it too. Right? There is no hope. And you know it now, like I do. Don't you? There is no hope for any of us.
