Andrew Lincoln: Rick Grimes

First Time Again

Rick Grimes

[first lines]
Morgan Jones: [in a flashback, Rick shoots Pete] Rick?
Rick Grimes: [in the present, Rick gets ready to lead the group into moving the herd of walkers] I know this sounds insane, but this is an insane world. We have to come for them before they come for us. It's that simple.

[in a flashback, Deanna discusses to Rick and Morgan how to dispose of Pete's corpse, that they don't bury killers]
Deanna Monroe: Rick's right. Take it away. Go west. Down Branton Road a few miles. Just past the bridge. We don't go out that way. Let the trees have him.
Rick Grimes: [the scene cuts to Rick and Morgan loading up the body in a trunk] I shot him because he killed Reg. That was it. We didn't have a choice.
Morgan Jones: You do have a cell.
Rick Grimes: Not for killers.
Morgan Jones: I'm a killer, Rick. I am, and you are, too.
[Rick closes the car trunk]

[Rick catches Carter pumping up the community members in the armory, to take back Alexandria by killing Rick]
Rick Grimes: [Rick holds a gun to the back of Carter's head] You really think you're gonna take this community from us. From Glenn? From Michonne? From Daryl? From me? Do you have any idea who you're talking to?
Carter: It was just me.
Rick Grimes: What?
Carter: It was - It was just me. Just - Just kill me.
Daryl Dixon: [Rick hesitates] Rick.
Rick Grimes: [Rick lowers his weapon] I'm good. You can try to work with us. You can try to survive. Would you do that?

[in a flashback, Rick offerss the keys to his house to Morgan as the two rest along the porch]
Rick Grimes: [Rick tosses his house keys to Morgan] Get your stuff. You should stay with us over here.
Morgan Jones: You got room?
Rick Grimes: We'll make room. We don't need to do that anymore. I know you, Morgan. Even if this is the first time.
Rick Grimes: [Morgan looks over to Rick holding Judith] You want to hold her?
Morgan Jones: [Morgan chuckles] Okay.
Rick Grimes: [Rick hands Judith over to Morgan] This is Morgan. He's a friend of mine.
Morgan Jones: [Morgan holds Judith] Hey. Hi. Okay. Let me have a look at you. Hey, hey. hey, hey.
Morgan Jones: [Rick and Morgan sit on the porch as Morgan pauses] You with that man Carter, at the armory - That's you. You're still the same man I met in King County. The one that came back and told me it wasn't over. That was you. Same you that's right in front of me right now.
Rick Grimes: [Rick talks about Carter] I wanted to kill him. So it would be easier. So I wouldn't have to worry about how he could screw up or what stupid thing he'd do next because that's who he is. Just somebody who shouldn't be alive now. I wanted to kill him. But all that hit me and... I realized I didn't have to do it. He doesn't get it. Somebody like that... they're gonna die no matter what.
[Morgan sits quiet as the scene cuts to Carter being bit by a walker]

[in a flashback, Morgan talks to Rick after the murder of Pete]
Morgan Jones: [Morgan smiles] You were right. It wasn't over.
Rick Grimes: We should talk more tomorrow. Listen... I don't take chances anymore.
Morgan Jones: And you shouldn't.

[in a flashback, Rick talks to Jessie about Ron, that he wants to teach her and her kids on how to protect themselves]
Rick Grimes: Ron needed to hear every word I said. That's why I grabbed him. I wasn't angry. I was just telling him the truth.
Jessie Anderson: If it's coming from you, he can't hear it. You got to understand that.
Rick Grimes: [Rick grabs a pistol from the armory shelf] He needs to know how to handle himself. I can teach him. I can teach you.
Jessie Anderson: Rick.
Rick Grimes: You need to know how.
Jessie Anderson: [Jessie shows Rick that she's already carrying a gun and learning to shoot] Rick. When I found out we could have them, I asked Rosita to start showing me how. Okay? She's gonna teach me and I'm gonna teach Ron, and I'm gonna teach Sam. I heard what you were saying to us at the meeting. And at my house before, you know. I am gonna fight, Rick.
[Rick nods his head and sets the pistol back down]

[last lines]
Rick Grimes: [in a flashback] I know this sounds insane, but this is an insane world. We have to come for them before they come for us. It's that simple.
[in the present, we see the herd of walkers walking according to plan, when an unexpected horn starts blaring out in the distance]
Heath: What the hell is happening?
Glenn Rhee: It's a horn or something. It's pulling the back half off the road. Oh, God.
Michonne: Whatever that is it's far. It sounds like it's coming from...
Rick Grimes: Home.
[the camera shows from a bird's-eye view the hundreds of walkers heading in the direction of Alexandria]
