Quotes 

• [Rick and the group find and meet Father Gabriel for the first time] 

  Rick Grimes : Do you have any weapons on you?

  Father Gabriel Stokes : Do I look like I would have any weapons.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : We don't give two short and curlies what it looks like.

  Father Gabriel Stokes : I have no weapons of any kind. The word of God is the only protection I need.

  Daryl Dixon : Sure didn't look like it.

  Father Gabriel Stokes : I called for help. Help came.

  Rick Grimes : How many walkers have you killed?

  Father Gabriel Stokes : Not any, actually.

  Rick Grimes : Turn around. How many have you killed?

  Father Gabriel Stokes : None.

  Rick Grimes : Why?

  Father Gabriel Stokes : Because the Lord abhors violence.

  Rick Grimes : What have you done? We've all done something.

  Father Gabriel Stokes : I'm a sinner. I sin almost every day. But those sins, I confess them to God, not strangers.

  [Rick and the group stay weary of Father Gabriel and continue to move on] 

• [Rick and Michonne walk together when Rick asks her about not having to carry her sword anymore] 

  Rick Grimes : Do you miss the sword?

  Michonne : Wasn't really mine in the first place. Found it in the very beginning.

  Rick Grimes : How'd you get so good?

  Michonne : It was just me and them out here all day, every day a good long time. I don't know what that was, but it wasn't life. Not like today. Stumbling around in three feet of slime for some peas and carrots, that's living. I miss Andrea. I miss Hershel.

  Rick Grimes : Yeah.

  Michonne : I don't miss what was before. I don't miss that sword.

• [Rick and his group arrive with Abraham and his group at the church together, Abraham forms a plan to keep pushing and move forward to Washington] 

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : We found a short bus out back. It don't run, but I bet we can fix it in less than a day or two. Father here says he doesn't want it. Looks like we found some transport. You understand what's at stake here, right?

  Rick Grimes : Yes, I do.

  Michonne : [Rick and his group begin to walk into the church one after another]  Now that we can take a breath...

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : We take a breath, we slow down, shit inevitably goes down.

  Michonne : We need supplies. No matter what we do next.

  Rick Grimes : That's right. Water, food, ammunition.

  Daryl Dixon : Short bus ain't going nowhere. Bring you back some baked beans.

  Glenn Rhee : One way or another, we're doing what Rick does. We're not splitting up again.

  Tara Chambler : What he said.

  Bob Stookey : We want to roll with you, but... what she said.

  [Abraham smiles and follows the group into the church] 

• [Abraham cheers to Rick's group in the church, referring to them all as the survivors] 

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : [Abraham continues to give a speech]  Is that all you want to be? Wake up in the morning, fight the undead pricks, forage for food, go to sleep with two eyes open, rinse and repeat? 'Cause you can do that. I mean, you got the strength. You got the skill. Thing is, for you people, for what you can do, that's just surrender. Now, we get Eugene to Washington and he make the dead die and the living will have this world again. And that is not a bad takeaway for a little road trip. Eugene, what's in D.C.?

  Dr. Eugene Porter : Infrastructure constructed to withstand pandemics even for this fubar magnitude. That means fuel, food, refuge. Restart.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : However this plays out, however long it takes for the reset button to kick in, you can be safe there. Safer than you've been since this whole thing started. Come with us. Save the world for that little one. Save it for yourselves. Save it for the people out there, who don't got nothing left to do except survive.

  [Rick smiles as the group sits in silence, Rick then hears Judith murmur out some baby talk] 

  Rick Grimes : What was that? I think she knows what I'm about to say. She's in. If she's in, I'm in. We're in.

  [Rick's group begins to clap with joy] 

• [first lines] 

  Rick Grimes : [Rick talks to Tara for one of the first times, about being part of the Governor's group before]  You didn't want to be there. That's why I tried to talk to you. Glenn told me you saved his life.

  Tara Chambler : He saved mine.

  Rick Grimes : That's how it works with us. Right.

  Tara Chambler : Right. Hey.

  [Tara holds out her hand to give Rick a fist bump, Rick hesitates, and then gives Tara a fist bump back] 

• [Bob talks to Rick about going to Washington as the group walks along the streets over to the food bank] 

  Bob Stookey : Hey. When you said they don't get to live, you weren't wrong. We push ourselves and let things go. Then we let some more go and then some more. And pretty soon, there's things we can't get back. Things we couldn't hold on to even if we tried. Washington's gonna happen, Rick.

  Rick Grimes : I haven't decided if we're going.

  Bob Stookey : Yeah, I know, and that's cool. But you've seen Abraham in action. He's gonna get there and Eugene's gonna cure all this and you're gonna find yourself in a place where it's like how it used to be. And if you let too much go along the way, that's not gonna work. 'Cause you're gonna be back in the real world.

  Rick Grimes : This is the real world, Bob.

  Bob Stookey : Naw. This is a nightmare, and nightmares end. I'm sorry. I'm calling it. Washington's gonna happen. You're gonna say yes. Already too much momentum. You can't fight city hall. Maybe that's just one of those parts I'm not letting go.

  [Bob walks on with a smile on his face] 

• [Rick talks to Carl in the church] 

  Rick Grimes : You are not safe. No matter how many people are around, or how clear the area looks, no matter what anyone says, no matter what you think, you are not safe. It only takes one second. One second and it's over. Never let your guard down, ever. I want you to promise me.

  Carl Grimes : I promise.

• [Rick talks to Carol about sending her away, and now how she returned to save Rick from Terminus] 

  Rick Grimes : I sent you away to this...

  Carol Peletier : You said I could survive. You were right.

  Rick Grimes : I sent you away to this and now we're joining you. Will you have us?

  [Carol nods in appreciation] 

  Rick Grimes : [Rick whispers]  Thank you.

• [Rick takes a seat besides Gabriel at the church] 

  Rick Grimes : Thanks for the hospitality. I'm surprised you let us drink your communion wine.

  [Rick takes a drink of wine] 

  Father Gabriel Stokes : There's isn't anyone left to take communion. The wine's just wine until it's blessed.

  [Gabriel takes a drink of wine] 

  Rick Grimes : You're hiding something. And it's pretty obvious it's something you can't hide from. That's your business. But these people, these people are my family. And if what you're hiding hurts them in any way, I'll kill you.
