Quotes

• Rick: You’re a man of God! Have some faith!

Hershel: I can’t profess to understand God’s plan. But Christ promised the resurrection of the dead. I just thought he had something... a little different in mind.

• Rick: Where'd you find everyone?

Daryl: Well, those guys' tail lights zigzagging all over the road - figured he had to be Asian, driving like that.

Glenn: Good one.
