• [last lines] 

  Dave : [Rick suggests to Dave that he keep looking in Nebraska for someplace safe]  You gotta understand... we can't stay out there. You know what it's like.

  Rick Grimes : Yeah, I do. But the farm is too crowded as is. I'm sorry. You'll have to keep looking.

  Dave : Keep looking. Where do you suggest we do that?

  Rick Grimes : I don't know. I hear Nebraska's nice.

  Dave : [Dave chuckles]  Nebraska. This guy.

  [as both Rick and Dave raise their guns up, Rick fires one gunshot, and then two gunshots into Tony behind him] 

• [Dave at the bar asks Hershel if he wants a drink with the rest of them] 

  Dave : How about you, pal? Have one?

  Hershel Greene : I just quit.

  Dave : [Dave smiles]  You've got a unique sense of timing, my friend.

  Rick Grimes : His name's Hershel. He lost people today, a lot of them.

  Dave : I'm truly sorry to hear that. To better days and new friends. And to our dead... may they be in a better place.

  [everyone drinks to the toast] 

• [Dave introduces him and Tony to Rick] 

  Dave : I'm Dave. That scrawny-looking douche bag there is Tony.

  Tony : [Tony chuckles]  Eat me, Dave.

  Dave : Hey, maybe someday I will. We met on I-95 coming out of Philly. Damn shit-show that was.

• [Dave tells Rick what made him and Tony drive south] 

  Rick Grimes : Well, what drove you South?

  Dave : Well, I can tell you it wasn't the weather. I must've dropped 30 lbs. in sweat alone down here.

  Tony : I wish.

  Dave : No, first it was D.C. I heard there might be some kind of refugee camp, but the roads were so jammed, we never even got close. We decided to get off the highways, into the sticks, keep hauling ass. Every group we came across had a new rumor about a way out of this thing.

  Tony : One guy told us there was the coast guard sitting in the Gulf, sending ferries to the islands.

  Dave : The latest was a rail yard in Montgomery running trains to the middle of the country... Kansas, Nebraska.

  Glenn : Nebraska?

  Tony : Low population, lots of guns

  Glenn : Kinda makes sense.

  Dave : Ever been to Nebraska, kid? A reason they call 'em 'flyover states.'

• [Dave notices that Rick sees the gun in his jeans] 

  Dave : Not bad, huh? I got it off a cop.

  Rick Grimes : I'm a cop.

  Dave : This one was already dead.

  [Dave smiles] 

• [Rick declines from bringing Dave and Tony back to the farmhouse] 

  Rick Grimes : We don't know anything about you.

  Dave : No, that's true. You don't know anything about us. You don't know what we've had to go through out there, the things we've had to do. I bet you've had to do some of those same things yourself. Am I right? 'Cause ain't nobody's hands clean in what's left of this world. We're all the same.

• [Glenn tells Dave that they call the dead Walkers] 

  Dave : Walkers? That what you call them?

  Glenn : Yeah.

  Dave : That's good. I like that. I like that better than lamebrains.

  Tony : More succinct.

  Dave : [Dave smiles]  Okay, Tony went to college.

  Tony : Two years.

• [Dave asks Rick if they can take them back to their farmhouse] 

  Dave : Well, hang on a second. This farm... it sounds pretty sweet. - Don't it sound sweet, Tony?

  Tony : Yeah, real sweet.

  Dave : How about a little Southern hospitality? We got some buddies back at camp, been having a real hard time. I don't see why you can't make room for a few more. We can pool our resources, our manpower.

  Rick Grimes : Look, I'm sorry. That's not an option.

  Dave : Doesn't sound like it'd be a problem.

• [Dave tells Rick that there is no way out of this mess] 

  Dave : Oddly, the truth is there is no way out of this mess. Just keep going from one pipe dream to the next, praying one of these mindless freaks doesn't grab a hold of you when you sleep.

  Tony : If you sleep.

• [the tension grows between Rick and Dave's conversation at the bar] 

  Dave : Let's take a nice friendly hayride to this farm and we'll get to know each other.

  Rick Grimes : That's not gonna happen.

  Dave : Rick.

  Tony : This is bullshit.

  Rick Grimes : [Rick in a low voice]  Calm down.

  Tony : [Tony shouts]  Don't tell me to calm down. Don't ever tell me to calm down. I'll shoot you three assholes in the head and take your damn farm!

  Dave : Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Relax. Take it easy. Nobody's killing anybody. Nobody's shooting anybody. Right, Rick?

  Dave : [Dave heads behind the bar]  Look. We're just friends having a drink. That's all. Now where's the good stuff, huh? Good stuff, good stuff, good stuff. Let's see.

  Dave : [Dave sees Rick hold on his gun, as he pulls a bottle of liquor out from behind the bar, smiling]  Hey, look at that. That'll work.

• [Hershel stands up from the bar counter to leave with Rick and Glenn] 

  Dave : [as they see Dave enter the bar]  Son of a bitch. They're alive.

• [Rick tells Dave that him and Tony seem a long way from Philadelphia] 

  Rick Grimes : You fellas are a long way from Philadelphia.

  Dave : It feels like we're a long way from anywhere.

• [Dave and Tony ask Rick if his farmhouse is safe] 

  Tony : Is it safe? It's gotta be.

  Dave : You got food, water?

  Tony : [as Tony urinates in the corner]  You got cooze? Ain't had a piece of ass in weeks.

  Dave : [Dave chuckles]  Listen, pardon my friend. City kids... they got no tact. No disrespect.
