Rick Grimes
- [the group starts to cover Glenn with the Walker guts]
- Glenn: [Glenn groans] Oh God! Oh jeez. Oh, this is bad. This is really bad.
- Rick Grimes: Think about something else... Puppies and kittens.
- T-Dog: Dead puppies and kittens.
- Andrea: [when Glenn vomits] That is just evil. What is wrong with you?
- Jacqui: [Jacqui looks over to T-Dog, about Rick] Next time let the cracker beat his ass.
- [Glenn saves Rick's life from the surrounding Walkers on the street]
- Glenn: Nice moves there, Clint Eastwood. You the new sheriff come riding in to clean up the town?
- Rick Grimes: It wasn't my intention.
- Glenn: Yeah, whatever. Yeehaw. You're still a dumbass.
- [Rick tells Merle the rules of the new world]
- Rick Grimes: Look here, Merle. Things are different now. There are no niggers anymore. No dumb-ass-shit, inbred white-trash fools either. Only dark meat and white meat. There's us and the dead. We survive this by pulling together, not apart.
- [over the walkie-talkie, Glenn tells Rick the bad news]
- Glenn: [on the walkie-talkie] Hey, are you alive in there?
- Rick Grimes: Hello? Hello?
- Glenn: [on the walkie-talkie] There you are. You had me wondering.
- Rick Grimes: Where are you? Outside? Can you see me right now?
- Glenn: [on the walkie-talkie] Yeah, I can see you. You're surrounded by walkers. That's the bad news.
- Rick Grimes: There's good news?
- Glenn: [on the walkie-talkie] No.
- [over the walkie-talkie, Glenn tells Rick that he needs to make a run for it from the tank]
- Rick Grimes: Listen, whoever you are, I don't mind telling you I'm a little concerned in here.
- Glenn: [on the walkie-talkie] Oh man. You should see it from over here. You'd be having a major freak-out.
- Rick Grimes: Got any advice for me?
- Glenn: [on the walkie-talkie] Yeah, I'd say make a run for it.
- Rick Grimes: That's it? 'Make a run for it?
- Glenn: [on the walkie-talkie] My way's not as dumb as it sounds.
- [Rick asks Morales for the axe back]
- Rick Grimes: Give me the axe. We need... We need more guts.
- [as Rick chops down at the Walker's body again]
- [Rick meets Andrea for the first time as she tells him that he just killed all of them]
- Andrea: [Andrea holds her gun at Rick] We're dead because of this stupid asshole.
- Morales: Andrea, I said back the hell off. Well, pull the trigger.
- Andrea: [Andrea lowers her gun] We're dead... All of us... Because of you.
- Rick Grimes: I don't understand.
- Morales: Look, we came into the city to scavenge supplies. You know what the key to scavenging is? Surviving! You know the key to surviving? Sneaking in and out, tiptoeing. Not shooting up the streets like it's the O.K. Corral.
- T-Dog: Every geek for miles around heard you popping off rounds.
- Andrea: [Rick sees the Walkers outside the building first floor] You just rang the dinner bell.
- [Merle threatens the group on who gives the orders]
- Merle Dixon: [Merle holds his gun on T-Dog] Yeah! All right! We're gonna have ourselves a little powwow, huh? Talk about who's in charge. I vote me. Anybody else? Huh? Democracy time, y'all. Show of hands, huh? All in favor? Huh? Come on. Let's see 'em. Oh, come on. All in favor?
- Merle Dixon: [the group reluctantly raise their hands] Yeah. That's good. Now that means I'm the boss, right? Yeah. Anybody else? Hmm? Anybody?
- Rick Grimes: Yeah.
- [when Rick punches Merle to the ground]
- [Rick cuffs Merle to the rooftop while introducing himself]
- Merle Dixon: Who the hell are you, man?
- Rick Grimes: Officer friendly.
- [Rick holds his gun to Merle's head on the rooftop]
- Merle Dixon: You wouldn't. You're a cop.
- Rick Grimes: All I am anymore is a man looking for his wife and son. Anybody that gets in the way of that is gonna lose.
- [Merle asks for Andrea to uncuff him so that they could leave to together alone]
- Rick Grimes: It's up to us to find a way out.
- Merle Dixon: Good luck with that. These streets ain't safe in this part of town from what I hear.
- Merle Dixon: [Merle looks to Andrea] Ain't that right, sugar tits? Hey, honeybunch, what say you get me out of these cuffs, we go off somewhere and bump some uglies? Gonna die anyway.
- Andrea: I'd rather.
- Merle Dixon: Rub muncher. I figured as much.
- Morales: The streets ain't safe. Now there's an understatement.
- [Glenn devises a plan to go into the sewers for the group]
- Glenn: Look, until now I always came here by myself... In and out, grab a few things... No problem. The first time I bring a group... Everything goes to hell. No offense. If you want me to go down this gnarly hole, fine... But only if we do it my way. It's tight down there. If I run into something and have to get out quick, I don't want you all jammed up behind me getting me killed. I'll take one person...
- Glenn: [Rick steps forward] Not you either. You've got Merle's gun and I've seen you shoot. I'd feel better if you were out in that store watching those doors, covering our ass. And you've got the only other gun, so you should go with him.
- Glenn: [Glenn points to Morales] You be my wingman. Jacqui stays here. Something happens, yell down to us, get us back up here in a hurry.
- Jacqui: Okay.
- Rick Grimes: Okay, everybody knows their jobs.
- [Andrea apologizes for putting a gun into Rick's face]
- Andrea: Sorry for the gun in your face.
- Rick Grimes: People do things when they're afraid.
- Andrea: Not that it was entirely unjustified. You did get us into this.
- Andrea: If I get us out, would that make up for it?
- Andrea: No, but it'd be a start.
- Rick Grimes: Next time though, take the safety off. It won't shoot otherwise.
- Andrea: [Andrea looks down to her gun] Oh.
- [Rick learns that the Walkers can tell who they are by smell]
- Rick Grimes: They're drawn by sound, right?
- Glenn: Right, like dogs. They hear a sound, they come.
- Rick Grimes: What else?
- Morales: Aside from they hear you? They see you, smell you and if they catch you, they eat you.
- Rick Grimes: They can tell us by smell?
- Glenn: Can't you?
- Andrea: They smell dead, we don't. It's pretty distinct.
- [Rick reads the I.D. card of the dead Walker they drag in for guts]
- Rick Grimes: Wayne Dunlap. Georgia license. Born in 1979. He had $28 in his pocket when he died... And a picture of a pretty girl. 'With love, from Rachel.' He used to be like us... Worrying about bills or the rent or the Super Bowl. If I ever find my family, I'm gonna tell them about Wayne.
- Glenn: One more thing... He was an organ donor.
- [as the group remains silent]
- [Rick and Glenn devise a plan while driving around in the truck]
- Glenn: [Glenn nervously shakes] Oh my God. Oh my God. They're all over that place.
- Rick Grimes: You need to draw them away. Those roll-up doors at the front of the store... That area? That's what I need cleared. Raise your friends. Tell them to get down there and be ready.
- Glenn: And I'm drawing the geeks away how? I... I missed that part.
- Rick Grimes: Noise.
- [Rick meets Glenn for the first time]
- Rick Grimes: Rick. Thanks.
- Glenn: [Glenn shakes Rick's hand] Glenn. You're welcome.
- [Rick asks Glenn why did he save his life back at the tank]
- Rick Grimes: Back at the tank, why'd you stick your neck out for me?
- Glenn: Call it foolish, naive hope that if I'm ever that far up shit creek, somebody might do the same for me. Guess I'm an even bigger dumbass than you.
- [Rick asks the group what about the refugee center]
- Morales: Hey, T-Dog, try that C.B. Can you contact the others?
- Rick Grimes: Others? The refugee center?
- Jacqui: [Jacqui sarcastically responds] Yeah, the refugee center. They've got biscuits waiting at the oven for us.
- [Rick tells Merle it's common sense to be polite to a man with a gun]
- Merle Dixon: Screw you, man.
- Rick Grimes: I can see you make a habit of missing the point.
- Merle Dixon: Yeah? Well, screw you twice.
- Rick Grimes: Ought to be polite to a man with a gun.
- Rick Grimes: [Rick cocks his gun] Only common sense.
