Quotes

• Judith: The only thing I've ever known is the fight. There's so much we've done. So much more to do. But I want to believe there's hope. That together, there's hope. Isn't there?

• Carol: You know... I barely saw Daryl when I got my new job at the Commonwealth. I barely saw anyone. Just doin' our own thing. It was like the old world. Back then, we never would've spoken to each other. But after the Fall, we were forced to become family. That's a good thing. It's a gift that's held, even in that place. They had to come at us when we were separated. What does that say to you?

Maggie: That we scare the shit out of Pamela.

Carol: Exactly. And she failed. We're not alone any more and we're gonna make it right.

• Gabriel: I know you. Every Sunday, back pew, closest to the door. You'd always come a little late and leave a little early. Seemed like you wanted to talk about something.

Trooper 141: Does God forgive people like me?

Gabriel: I don't know. I wish I did.

Trooper 141: It's, like... torn up all the time with guilt. And shame.

Gabriel: Because you're a coward. It's okay. You're trying not to be. Fear can make us do things that... that bring shame. Could also push us into the light. And you're trying to do the right thing now. He sees that. I see it, too. We all do.

Trooper 141: I wish I'd talked to you sooner.

Gabriel: I wish you had, too. People remember the last thing that you do. The end of each story is very important. How do you want yours to end?
