Quotes 

• [Carol prays to the Jesus Christ statue while in the church] 

  Carol Peletier : Father, forgive me. I don't deserve your mercy. I prayed for safe passage from Atlanta and you provided. I prayed for Ed to be punished for laying his hands on me and for looking at his own daughter with whatever sickness was growing in his soul. I prayed you'd put a stop to it, give me a chance to raise her right, help her not make my mistakes.

  Carol Peletier : [Carol begins to cry]  She's so fearful. She's so young in her way. She hasn't had a chance.

  Carol Peletier : [Carol hesitates for an answer]  Praying for Ed's death was a sin. Please, don't let this be my punishment. Let her be safe, alive and safe. Please, lord. Punish me however you want, but show mercy on her.

• [Carol sees Rick and Daryl return without Sophia] 

  Carol Peletier : Is that blood?

  Rick Grimes : We took down a Walker.

  Carol Peletier : Walker? Oh my God.

  Rick Grimes : There was no sign it was ever anywhere near Sophia.

  Andrea : How can you know that?

  Daryl Dixon : We cut the son of a bitch open, made sure.

• [Carol asks Daryl about the plan of looking for Sophia] 

  Carol Peletier : So this is it? This the whole plan?

  Daryl Dixon : I guess the plan is to whittle us down into smaller and smaller groups. Carrying knives and pointy sticks.

  Andrea : [Andrea to Lori]  I see you have a gun.

  Lori Grimes : Why, you want it?

• [in a deleted scene, Rick tells the group that they can barricade themselves in the Vatos nursing home] 

  Rick Grimes : Upstairs is our best bet. We've cleared a few rooms, we could barricade those if we have to. We'll be all right.

  Carol Peletier : You mean it this time? Or are you lying to us like other times before.

  Lori Grimes : That's no fair and no help to us.

• [Carol questions Rick about leaving Sophia alone in the woods] 

  Carol Peletier : How could you just leave her out there to begin with? How could you just leave her?

  Rick Grimes : Those two Walkers were on us. I had to draw them off. It was her best chance.

  Shane Walsh : Sounds like he didn't have a choice, Carol.

  Carol Peletier : How was she supposed to find her way back on her own? She's just a child. She's just a child.

  Rick Grimes : [Rick gets to his knees]  It was my only option. The only choice I could make.

  Shane Walsh : I'm sure nobody doubts that.

  Carol Peletier : [Carol begins crying to herself]  My little girl got left in the woods.

• [the group begins making a list of suggestions for items to scavenge] 

  Shane Walsh : If you can't find a radiator hose here...

  Daryl Dixon : There's a whole bunch of stuff we can find.

  T-Dog : I can siphon more fuel from these cars for a start.

  Carol Peletier : Maybe some water.

  Glenn Rhee : Or food.

  Lori Grimes : [as Lori makes a comment about the interstate]  This is a graveyard. I don't know how I feel about this.
