Laurie Holden: Andrea Harrison

TS-19

Andrea Harrison

[Dale decides to stay with Andrea in the C.D.C. facility]
Dale Horvath: [Dale in a low voice] Okay. You win.
Andrea: What are you doing?
Dale Horvath: I said, okay.
Andrea: Don't pull this, Dale.
Dale Horvath: I'm not pulling anything. If you're staying, I stay too. He's right. We know what's waiting for us out there. I don't want to face it alone.
Andrea: Dale, get the hell out. I don't want you here.
Dale Horvath: [Dale looks to Andrea's eyes] Too bad. You don't get to do that, to... To come into somebody's life, make them care, and then just check out. I'm staying. The matter is settled.

[Jenner checks on each person's blood in the C.D.C. facility]
Andrea: What's the point? If we were infected, we'd all be running a fever.
Dr. Edwin Jenner: I've already broken every rule in the book letting you in here. Let me just at least be thorough.

[Jenner tells Rick that there is no hope for mankind]
Dr. Edwin Jenner: [Jenner looks to Rick] You do want this. Last night, you said, you knew it was just a matter of time before everybody you loved was dead.
Shane Walsh: What? You really said that? After all your big talk?
Rick Grimes: I had to keep hope alive, didn't I?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: There is no hope. There never was.
Rick Grimes: There's always hope. Maybe it won't be you, maybe not here, but somebody somewhere...
Andrea: What part of 'Everything's gone' do you not understand?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: Listen to your friend. She gets it. This is what takes us down. This is our extinction event.

[Jenner tells the group what happened to everyone at the C.D.C. facility]
Dr. Edwin Jenner: Well, when things got bad, a lot of people just left. Went off to be with their families. And when things got worse, when the military cordon got overrun, the rest bolted.
Shane Walsh: Every last one?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: No... Many couldn't face walking out the door. They... Opted out. There was a rash of suicides. That was a bad time.
Andrea: You didn't leave. Why?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: I just kept working. Hoping to do some good.
Glenn Rhee: Dude, you are such a buzzkill, man.

[Dale sits with Andrea after she vomits the wine she drank]
Andrea: Everything's gone.
Dale Horvath: It's always better going down than coming up, huh?
Andrea: I don't mean the wine, Dale. You know, it's over. There's nothing left. Don't you see that?
Dale Horvath: Oh, I... I see a... A chance to make a new start.
Andrea: [Andrea laughs] Oh, my God, Dale. Dale, didn't you see the look on Jenner's face? Hear what I'm saying. There's nothing left.
[as Dale remains silent]

[Jenner tells the computer Vi to do an Enhanced Internal View of TS-19's brain]
Shane Walsh: [as the group sees the brain of TS-19] What are those lights?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: It's a person's life... Experiences, memories. It's everything. Somewhere in all that organic wiring, all those ripples of light, is you... The thing that makes you unique. And human.
Daryl Dixon: You don't make sense ever?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: Those are synapses, electric impulses in the brain that carry all the messages. They determine everything a person says does or thinks from the moment of birth to the moment of death.
Rick Grimes: Death? That's what this is, a vigil?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: Yes. Or rather the playback of the vigil.
Andrea: This person died? Who?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: Test subject 19. Someone who was bitten and infected... And volunteered to have us record the process.

[Jenner tells Andrea that like the French the power grid ran out of juice]
Dr. Edwin Jenner: It was the French.
Andrea: What?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: They were the last ones to hold out as far as I know. While our people were bolting out the doors and committing suicide in the hallways, they stayed in the labs till the end. They thought they were close to a solution.
Jacqui: What happened?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: The same thing that's happening here. No power grid. Ran out of juice. The world runs on fossil fuel. I mean, how stupid is that?

[Rick tells Jenner that all they want is a choice]
Rick Grimes: You're lying about no hope. If that were true, you'd have bolted with the rest or taken the easy way out. You didn't. You chose the hard path. Why?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: It doesn't matter.
Rick Grimes: It does matter. It always matters. You stayed when others ran. Why?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: Not because I wanted to. I made a promise... To her. My wife.
Andrea: Test subject 19 was your wife?
Dr. Edwin Jenner: She begged me to keep going as long as I could. How could I say no? She was dying. It should've been me on that table. I wouldn't have mattered to anybody. She was a loss to the world. Hell, she ran this place. I just worked here. In our field, she was an Einstein. Me? I'm just... Edwin Jenner. She could've done something about this. Not me.
Rick Grimes: Your wife didn't have a choice. You do. That's... That's all we want... A choice, a chance.
Lori Grimes: [Jenner looks over to Lori with tears in her eyes] Let us keep trying as long as we can.

[Jenner tells the group there's nothing out there but a brutal life and agonizing death]
Dr. Edwin Jenner: You know what's out there... A short, brutal life and an agonizing death.
Dr. Edwin Jenner: [Jenner looks to Andrea] Your... Your sister... What was her name?
Andrea: Amy.
Dr. Edwin Jenner: Amy. You know what this does. You've seen it.
Dr. Edwin Jenner: [Jenner looks to Rick] Is that really what you want for your wife and son?
Rick Grimes: I don't want this!
