Andrew Lincoln: Rick Grimes

30 Days Without an Accident

Rick Grimes

[first lines]
Carl Grimes: [Carl tells Rick that he never woke him up in the morning] You didn't wake me up.
Rick Grimes: 'Cause I knew you were up all night reading comics with a flashlight.

[Clara answers Rick's three questions before she dies]
Clara: What were... the questions? The three questions?
Rick Grimes: [Rick tears up] How many Walkers have you killed?
Clara: [Clara bleeds out] Eddie... Eddie killed... killed them all. Until...
Rick Grimes: How many people have you killed?
Clara: [Clara whispers] Just me. Just me.
Rick Grimes: Why?
Clara: [Clara breathes out] You don't... you don't get to come back. You don't get to come back from things. You don't...
[when Clara passes away in front of Rick]

[Carl and Rick see the sick pig Violet]
Carl Grimes: What's up with Violet?
Rick Grimes: Carl, I told you not to name them. They're not piglets anymore. They're food.
Carl Grimes: I just thought, you know, until... okay.

[Rick gives Carl a list of things he can do around the prison]
Rick Grimes: Do your chores. Read comics. Maybe some books, too. Hang out with Patrick. Maybe go to story time.
Carl Grimes: Dad, that's for kids.
Rick Grimes: [Rick smiles] Yeah.

[Hershel tells Rick that he needs to look the part of a farmer]
Hershel Greene: You're growing us enough food so we won't need to do runs soon. But we do have to find you a good pair of overalls. You need to look the part. A little piece of wheat out of the corner of your mouth. Maybe a bigger ass.
Rick Grimes: [Rick chuckles] Yeah.

[Hershel tells Rick that the council members want Rick to carry his gun outside the fence]
Hershel Greene: Listen, the rest of the council: Daryl, Glenn, Carol, Sasha, all of them... they wanted me to talk to you. When you go out there, you got to take your gun.
Rick Grimes: It's just outside the fence. I have my knife. I get in trouble, six bullets isn't gonna make the difference.
Hershel Greene: Rick, we want you to be safe. Bring your gun.

[Rick tells Clara that they call the dead 'Walkers']
Rick Grimes: You have to have numbers. People are the best defense against Walkers or people. We help each other.
Clara: You call them 'Walkers'?
[as Rick remains silent]

[Clara asks Rick if he has a camp nearby]
Clara: Do you have a camp around here?
Rick Grimes: Yeah.
Clara: [about her and her husband] Could we possibly come back with you? We've been doing... very badly on our own.
Rick Grimes: I'd have to meet him.

[Rick tells Clara to not try anything or she'll be the one who loses]
Rick Grimes: Look, I don't know you, so I'm just gonna tell you this. You try anything... anything... you're gonna be the one who loses.
Clara: [Clara in a low voice] I don't have anything else to lose.
Rick Grimes: No. You do.

[Clara asks Rick if he had to do those same things her and Eddie did to survive]
Clara: What Eddie and I had to do, did you do things like that? Did you? Do you think you get to come back from them?
Rick Grimes: I hope so.
Clara: Yeah? I hope we answer your three questions to your satisfaction.

[Clara begs Rick to please not stop her from being with Eddie]
Clara: [Clara sobs] I wanted to take the boar. I just knew... I knew I'd get you here so much quicker.
Clara: [Clara cries] He's starving. He's slowing. He needs something alive. Please, I told you, I can't be without him. And so I kept him. It was wrong. I can't do things like this. And... and you have to do things like this.
Clara: [Clara asks Rick to not kill her after] Let me be like him. Don't stop it. Don't end it after.
Rick Grimes: [as Clara takes out her knife] No.
Clara: Let me be with him.
Rick Grimes: [when Clara stabs herself in the stomach] No!

[Clara tells Rick how her and Eddie survived on their own]
Clara: There were a lot of us and... now it's just Eddie and me. And I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't for him. And it isn't that... he saved me over and over again or that he showed me the things that I had to do or... to be willing to do. If he wasn't still here... I-I couldn't be. I just... I couldn't.
Rick Grimes: What were they?
Clara: What?
Rick Grimes: The things you had to be willing to do?
Clara: Um... eating whatever we could find... animal carcasses and rotten fruit... and... leaving people behind. Hiding from people who needed my help. Unlike you.
Rick Grimes: This is not charity.

[last lines]
Hershel Greene: [Hershel tells Rick that some people are so far gone but not them] You tried to help her. You couldn't. No one could. Some people are too far gone. You're not. You tried to help her.
Rick Grimes: How that woman wound up, I got close to that. If I lost Carl and Judith, if I lost this place...
Hershel Greene: Not then, Rick. Not even then. You came back. Your boy came back. You get to come back. You do.
