Rick Grimes
- Rick Grimes: [Rick and Negan exchange words over walkie-talkies] Get me Negan.
- Negan: Who the hell is asking?
- Rick Grimes: It's Rick Grimes.
- Negan: Ricky, look at you calling me up. You want to tell me where you are, so we can do this face to face.
- Rick Grimes: Carl's dead. He wrote letters. He wrote one to you. He asked you to stop. He asked me to stop. He asked us for peace. But it's too late for that. Even if we wanted to deal now, it doesn't matter. I'm going to kill you.
- Negan: How did it happen?
- Rick Grimes: What?
- Negan: How did he die? Was it us? Was it the grenades... the fire?
- Rick Grimes: It wasn't you! Carl went out to help someone and he got bit.
- Negan: Goddamn it. Shit, I am... I am sorry. You know I wanted him to be part of things. I had plans. That kid... that kid was the future.
- Rick Grimes: The only future is one where you're dead.
- Negan: The hell are you doing Rick? Why are you fighting? Why are you making this so hard? Carl is dead because of you. Because you couldn't leave shit well enough alone. I mean maybe he would have died some other way. Any one of us can get our ticket punched at any second. But in this case... in this case, he is dead because of you. Because you weren't there to stop him from doing something stupid. You set this coarse Rick. Who's next?
- Rick Grimes: You are!
- Negan: No, that someone is. You see... I stop people from dying. I am the answer. Now, it may have taken a hard lesson for you to hear it, but you should hear it now. It's time. Do not let anymore of your shit decisions cost you to lose anyone else you love. That garbage... that sticks with you forever. Just like Carl will. Hell, I'm feeling it now and I'm going to be feeling it for a while. You could have just let me save all of you. I mean that's why I killed your friends in the first place. So that you can sit there and say that you're going to kill me, but you won't. You failed. You failed as a leader and most of all Rick, you failed as a father. Just... give up. Give up because you have already lost.
