Robin Lord Taylor: Sam

Indifference

Sam

[Rick and Carol find a young couple hiding upstairs in a house]
Sam: [Sam nervously chuckles] Whoa, whoa. It's cool. We're... we're cool.
Ana: We have fruit.
Sam: Yeah, we got apricots, peaches. Here, catch.
Sam: [Sam tosses a peach down the stairs to Rick who doesn't catch it] Or, you know, don't.
[Sam nervously chuckles]

[Carol examines Sam's shoulder]
Carol Peletier: How'd this happen?
Sam: Greenhouse around the corner.
Ana: We were looking for a place to crash. The roof's broken now and it's been getting rain, so it's full of fruit. We were there about a day and the skin-eaters showed up.
Sam: [Sam chuckles] Killjoys, man. Jackin' it up for the whole world. I thought everybody was an asshole before this all went down. Now I love people. You know... people who are alive.

[Carol fixes Sam's dislocated shoulder]
Carol Peletier: Here, lay on your back. Okay, scooch over to the edge. Just hold your arm... Grab ahold of this bag. Hold on.
Carol Peletier: [Sam groans] And keep holding on.
Sam: [Sam nervously cries and chuckles] No, that hurts.
Carol Peletier: Keep holding.
Sam: [Sam groans] I can't, I can't.
Carol Peletier: Keep holding.
[when the bone pops]

[Sam and Ana say they missed the Deadie in the PJs while in the house]
Rick Grimes: After the greenhouse, you came here?
Sam: Yeah. We thought it was clear. We missed the Deadie in the PJs, so we dove into the bathroom.
[Sam smiles]

[Sam and Ana tell Rick and Carol about how long they were hiding in the upstairs bathroom]
Rick Grimes: So how long were you up there till we showed up?
Sam: Like, two days.
Carol Peletier: There was just one. You had guns.
Ana: [Ana chuckles] We have about 12 bullets. It usually takes us about five or six to bring one of them down.
Carol Peletier: But you have knives.
Sam: [Sam nervously chuckles] To what, stab it in the head?
Carol Peletier: Yeah.

[Ana tells Rick how her and Sam first met]
Ana: We were at a refugee center together and there was a fire. People were just trampling over me.
Sam: [Sam chuckles] Assholes.
Ana: Sam saved my life. We didn't know each other before. It didn't heal right, but it healed. And we found each other. It was worth it.
Rick Grimes: [the two smile alongside one another] Where are you two headed next?
Sam: We just keep moving. We haven't been waiting for places to go bad. I mean, it's getting a little old.
[Sam chuckles]

[Rick tells Sam and Ana about the prison]
Sam: [Sam smiles] So, did we pass your test?
Rick Grimes: We're in a prison eight miles north. If you come back with us, we can't guarantee your safety. There's an illness, a flu. It's bad.
Carol Peletier: We've lost a lot. Kids, too.
Ana: [Ana looks to Carol] Yours?
Carol Peletier: No, thank God. But one of my girls, she's got it.
