David Morrissey: Philip 'The Governor' Blake

Quotes 

• [the Governor tells Andrea his name is Philip] 

  The Governor : Remember... if it gets tough out there, you're always welcome here.

  Andrea : That's very kind. Thank you, Governor.

  The Governor : Philip.

  Andrea : I thought you never told anybody your name.

  The Governor : Someone recently told me never to say never, so...

  [as Andrea smiles] 

• [the Governor tells Michonne they could use a soldier like her] 

  The Governor : [the Governor smiles]  We could use a soldier like you.

  Michonne : You seem like you're holding your own. Even the National Guard was overrun.

  The Governor : No amount of training can prepare you for the world today.

• [Michonne starts to question the Governor's encounter with the National Guard soldiers] 

  Michonne : [as Michonne examines the military truck]  Lots of bullet holes. You think biters figured out how to use weapons?

  The Governor : [the Governor chuckles]  They must have encountered bandits weeks ago. It's ugly out there, but then... you know that better than anyone.

  Michonne : It's too bad what happened to Welles.

  The Governor : It is. Doctor Stevens couldn't revive him. Merle put a bullet in his brain.

  Michonne : No funeral?

  The Governor : We cremated him, quietly. These people have been through so much, I figured, thank God, at least no one knew him.

  Michonne : [Michonne in a low voice]  Thank God.

• [the Governor tells Merle that them two should take only the women to the Augusta National Golf Club] 

  Merle Dixon : [Merle sees the Governor practice his golf stroke on Walkers]  Pretty good!

  The Governor : We should visit Augusta. Take only the women and let them play. It'll be historic.

  Merle Dixon : And break decades of tradition.

  The Governor : Absolutely.

• [Merle makes a request to the Governor to go and search for his brother Daryl] 

  The Governor : He could be anywhere.

  Merle Dixon : I know my brother. If he's out there, I'll be able to find him.

  The Governor : What if someone gets hurt during this search, huh? What almost happened to Crowley last time.

  Merle Dixon : Then I'll go on my own.

  The Governor : I get what you're feeling, I really do, but I can't risk it. I need you here. This whole place would fall apart without you.

  Merle Dixon : [Merle in a low voice]  This is my brother.

• [the Governor pours Andrea a glass of hard liquor] 

  Andrea : Oh... I haven't had hard liquor in a while. My tolerance is probably close to nil.

  The Governor : Well, lucky you.

• [Andrea and the Governor agree that when given hope you got to keep looking] 

  The Governor : Merle told me you provided information about his brother's whereabouts.

  Andrea : What I could. It wasn't much.

  The Governor : Well, it's given him hope. If you ask me, I don't think he'll find him.

  Andrea : But he's...

  Andrea , The Governor : Gotta look.

  [as Governor and Andrea smile together] 

• [Andrea and the Governor tell each other that they have no family out there] 

  The Governor : You still got family out there?

  Andrea : I lost my family. My parents, my sister.

  The Governor : I'm sorry. Lost my wife... car accident. Eighteen months before all this. Just my daughter and me.

  Andrea : [Andrea pauses before raising her liquor glass]  To better days.

• [Andrea tells the Governor it's all about survival] 

  Andrea : Truth is, I don't know what I'm looking for. For the longest time, it was all about survival. Nothing else mattered. So much so... I don't know what matters now.

  The Governor : Pay off the car, work 50 hours a week, get married, buy a house... that was survival for me not long ago.

  Andrea : A lot's changed.

  The Governor : [the Governor looks into Andrea's eyes]  The scenery has. The landscape. But the way we think...

  [when Andrea remains silent]
