Rick Grimes
- Rick Grimes: So, where's your people? They should be here by now. We didn't get that far.
- Negan: Oh, they're coming.
- Rick Grimes: This is where you die... in the dark, all alone.
- Negan: What the hell is your problem, Rick? Huh? I know, you're working through some shit - the worst kind of shit, I know - but if you aren't the most stubborn know-it-all prick I've ever crossed dicks with...
- Rick Grimes: You can't save anyone, because you don't CARE about anyone. You use people, to bring you food, to sleep with you, to protect you!
- [he douses "Lucille" in gasoline]
- Rick Grimes: The only thing you care about is this bat! And you can't even save that! I'll make you a deal: I'll let you kiss her goodbye.
- Negan: DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!
- Rick Grimes: [lights "Lucille" on fire] Come and get her!
- [Rick hunts for Negan in the pitch-black basement of an abandoned building]
- Negan: You not only failed your boy, you failed your PEOPLE, Rick! Kinda makes me sick just thinking about it. All that wasted potential... But see, there is still hope for you!
- Negan: A one-time deal that I will make in the memory of your badass son, someone I actually respected: you get Hilltop, Kingdom, Alexandria to fall in line and our arrangement is back in place, and you are forgiven, Rick! I will lower my take from 50 to 25% - a lousy 25%! But you, you gotta come work for me. Janitorial to start. Not bad at all. Your people, they get to live like 75% KINGS! Now that is an epic fucking Christmas-Hannukah-Kwanzza gift all rolled up into one considering what a THORN in my ass-cheek you've all been!
- Rick Grimes: Now why would I trust any deal offered to me after what you did to Jadis' people?
- Negan: What the hell are you talking about?
- Rick Grimes: The scavengers. You killed them. ALL of them! A whole community just wiped out!
- [pause]
- Rick Grimes: Is that how you "save" people?
- Negan: [whispers, to himself] Sonuva bitch!
- Rick Grimes: Still just you and me, even though plenty of your people must've seen you go. See, it's times like this, you realize who your true friends are. No one's coming for you.
- [he laughs softly as he picks up "Lucille", Negan' bat]
