Andrew Lincoln: Rick Grimes

Heads Up

Rick Grimes

[Rick talks to Maggie on the fence wall while Maggie waits for Glenn's signal]
Rick Grimes: When we go out there, it's never easy, it's never simple. It's always a fight. But we've come back from harder things. From further away. Glenn, Daryl, Abraham, and Sasha, they will, too. Maybe we don't wait for them to be back. We should start figuring out how to draw the walkers away. We have some food and water to last us a while and the walls are holding. We can take our time. Really think this through. Do it right. Clear it so they can - They can walk right in.
Maggie Greene: I saw Judith in the house the other day. She's starting to - She's starting to look like Lori.
Rick Grimes: [Rick nods his head] Yeah.
Maggie Greene: It made me happy.
Rick Grimes: [Rick smiles] Me, too.

[Rick sits across from Morgan after questioning him about letting the Wolves go]
Morgan Jones: Do you think I don't belong here?
Rick Grimes: Making it now, do you really think you can do that without getting blood on your hands?
Morgan Jones: I don't know.

[Rick and Michonne talk to Morgan about life in this world]
Morgan Jones: [Morgan looks to Rick] Why didn't you kill me, Rick, back in King County? Pulled a knife on you. I stabbed you. So why didn't you kill me? Was it 'cause I saved you after the hospital?
Rick Grimes: 'Cause I knew who you were.
Morgan Jones: Back there I would have killed you as soon as look at you. And I tried. But you, you let me live and then I was there to help Aaron and Daryl. See, if I... if I wasn't there, if they died... maybe those Wolves wouldn't have been able to come back here. I don't know what's right anymore. 'Cause I did want to kill those men. I seen what they did, what they would keep doing. I knew I could end it. But I also know that people can change. 'Cause everyone sitting here has. All life is precious. And that idea - that idea changed me. It brought me back and keeps me living.
Michonne: I just don't think it can be that easy.
Michonne: It's not easy.
Michonne: I wasn't saying...
Morgan Jones: I - I know. And I've thought about letting that idea go. But I don't want to.
Michonne: You may have to. Things aren't as simple as four words. I don't think they ever were.

[Tobin talks to Rick while working on the wall]
Tobin: You know, you scared the hell out of people when we first saw you.
Rick Grimes: I know.
Tobin: You scared the hell out of me. With that beard. The way you looked around like you were seeing things we weren't... hiding around corners. Turns out you were. Things moved slow here. And then things just started moving fast. Too fast. But don't give up on us.

[Rick teaches Ron how to fire a pistol as Carl watches from the side]
Rick Grimes: Someone's in front of you, they have a gun.
Carl Grimes: You'll gonna be scared. You will be.
[Ron looks at Carl without saying anything]
Rick Grimes: Your body's gonna tense, you won't have time to think. You're just gonna want to pull the trigger when you get it in front of you.
Rick Grimes: [Rick pulls back the hammer of the gun] But you'll miss, and you'll be dead.
Rick Grimes: [Rick pulls back the hammer again holding the gun up] You have to get it up to your eye.
Carl Grimes: You've got to be strong enough to wait for your moment.
Ron Anderson: [Ron looks at Carl before asking for the pistol from Rick] Can I, uh...
Rick Grimes: [Rick hands over the pistol as Ron clears his throat, aiming] Hey, your finger doesn't touch the trigger until you're ready to shoot.
Rick Grimes: [Ron calmly pulls the trigger as the gun clicks] Keep that one with you. Get a feel of what it's like to carry one around.
Ron Anderson: Can I shoot it? Maybe like down at the walkers.
