Quotes 

• [Glenn reminds Abraham to get some sleep at the library] 

  Glenn Rhee : You'd better turn in. You've got a late watch.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : Yeah. I really need some ass first.

  [referring to Rosita, Abraham walks off] 

  Glenn Rhee : [Glenn whispers to himself alone]  Didn't need to know that, but cool.

• [Abraham and the group talk about how to get around the hundreds of walkers] 

  Glenn Rhee : We need the map. There's gotta be a detour.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : I'm not doing it. We detoured and detoured and detoured from Houston to Georgia. I'm not playing that game anymore.

  Glenn Rhee : We are not going through this, okay? It isn't gonna happen.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : You got a shit storm behind door A and a storm of shit behind door B. If you're lucky, it's walkers or a shot-up truck. But sooner or later you get cornered. You wind up stayin' and you wind up killin'. We don't go back. We can't go back.

  Glenn Rhee : I'm not talking about going back. Just south a few miles.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : No.

  Dr. Eugene Porter : We already hit a full stop 'cause of an air filter filled compromised by innards. That will happen again.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : Then we'll hit 'em with the hose.

  Rosita Espinosa : The tank is empty, Abraham.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : If we floor it...

  Glenn Rhee : We still hit them, they still slow us down, and then they stop us.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : I'm not saying we just go straight.

  Maggie Greene : That's the way the road goes.

  Rosita Espinosa : Abraham!

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : We can get through! I know it! And that means we are not going south, going around, or going back!

  Rosita Espinosa : [Rosita interrupts Abraham to listen]  No. They're right.

• [Glenn asks Eugene a question after he gives him a scientific answer] 

  Glenn Rhee : Why the hair?

  Dr. Eugene Porter : Because I like it. And no one is takin' a scissor or clipper to it anytime soon. Do you hear me, Ms. Espinosa?

  Rosita Espinosa : [Rosita laughs]  Yes, loud and clear.

  Dr. Eugene Porter : Y'all can laugh all you want.

  Maggie Greene : No one was makin' fun.

  Dr. Eugene Porter : The smartest man I ever met happened to love my hair. My old boss, T. Brooks Ellis, the director of the Human Genome Project. He said my hair made me look like, and I quote, a fun guy, which I am. I just ain't Samson.

  [suddenly there's a blow to the mini-bus] 

• [Glenn and Maggie talk to Eugene about after they arrive in Washington D.C] 

  Maggie Greene : How long will it be? After you get on that terminal and do what you have to do?

  Dr. Eugene Porter : Depends on a number of factors including density of the infected around target sites worldwide.

  Glenn Rhee : Wait, target sites? Are you talking about missiles?

  Dr. Eugene Porter : That's classified.

  Glenn Rhee : I thought we were over that.

  Dr. Eugene Porter : What if we all live?

  Glenn Rhee : The secrets will matter then?

  Dr. Eugene Porter : They might. Anyway, the speed with which things normalize depend on a number of factors including worldwide weather patterns, which were modeled without the assumption that cars, planes, boats, and trains wouldn't be pouring hydrocarbons into the atmosphere this long. Changed the game quite a bit when it comes to air-transmissible pathogens.

• [Sgt. Abraham begins to lose his patience when Glenn and the group help calm him down] 

  Dr. Eugene Porter : Is that your blood?

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : Yeah. Damn thing opened again. I swear, the cut's are finer than frog's hair. They're just big bleeders.

  Maggie Greene : First aid kit's in the bus, I'll see what we have.

  [the mini-bus suddenly goes up in flames] 

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : We're not stopping. We're rolling on. We'll find another vehicle down the road. The mission hasn't changed.

  Dr. Eugene Porter : Devil's advocate, nothing more - We smashed to a stop hard. We spent a lot of time rolling things out of the road. The church is just 15 miles back that way...

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : [Sgt. Abraham begins shouting at Eugene]  No. We don't stop. We don't go back. We're at war and retreat means we lose. The road fights back, the plan gets jacked. You all know that. Now, we will get through this because we have to. Every direction is a question. We don't go back!

  Glenn Rhee : [Glenn pauses Abraham]  Hey, hey, hey. You okay?

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : I am fit as a damn fiddle.

  Glenn Rhee : We are going with you. You are calling this thing. I just need to know you're good.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : This is how things stop. I can't afford that right now. The world can't afford it. Listen, I took a pretty hard shot to the sack with that crash. I am stressed and depressed to see that ride die, but if you say we're rolling on? I'm good.

  Glenn Rhee : We're rolling on.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : I'm gonna rub some dirt on it and walk it off.

  Glenn Rhee : Yeah.

  Rosita Espinosa : Find what we need like we always have - On the way.

  Maggie Greene : [Maggie smiles to see the argue has come to a close]  Okay. I'm not rubbing dirt on anything.

• [Abraham and Glenn have a word with each other by the library window while on night watch] 

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : Thank you.

  Glenn Rhee : For what?

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : For showing up. It took a little horse trading to get you here, but it's plain as potatoes to me now. You get it. Coulda lit our after the crash, made a case, but you stayed.

  Glenn Rhee : I made a deal.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : Yeah, you coulda broke it. What was I gonna do?

  Glenn Rhee : [Glenn see's Abraham holding his knife]  You gonna put that thing away tonight?

  Glenn Rhee : [Glenn then comments on the cut on Abraham's hand]  How about that? You gonna wrap that up?

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : No, I'm gonna let it get some air. Got cut up pretty ugly last night back at the church.

  Glenn Rhee : Yeah.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : Gotten to the point where everyone alive is strong now. We have to be. You're either strong and they can help you so you can help them or you're strong and they can kill ya. So you gotta kill them. You gotta kill them and... I want to say it's never easy. That's not the truth. It's the easiest thing in the world now.

  Glenn Rhee : The world's gonna change, right?

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : You're damn right it's gonna.

• [Sgt Abraham gets the group on the fire truck] 

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : [Abraham turns the key to the fire engine and the truck starts]  About time things started going our way.

  [the engine to the truck suddenly shuts off] 

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : Come on. Just once. Just one damn time.

  Glenn Rhee : We'll find another ride.

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : If there was a ride worth a shit in this town, we'd have seen it. This thing's done some crowd clearing. Right up into the intake. Which means we've got an air filter filled with damned human remains. And there is no damned corner on this damned Earth that has not been dicked hard beyond all damned recognition.

  Rosita Espinosa : [Abraham starts wiping down what he thinks is the air filter to the truck]  Abraham?

  Sgt. Abraham Ford : What?

  Rosita Espinosa : That feeds the radiator. The intake for the engine is actually on the roof.

  [Rosita smiles at the confused-looking Abraham]
