Quotes 

• [Rick tells Jenner that he's grateful for the chance] 

  Rick Grimes : I'm grateful.

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : The day will come when you won't be.

• [Jenner asks the computer Vi to define H.I.T.s to the group] 

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : In the event of a catastrophic power failure... in a terrorist attack, for example... H.I.T.s are deployed to prevent any organisms from getting out.

  Rick Grimes : H.I.T.s?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : Vi, define.

  Vi : H.I.T.s - high-impulse thermobaric fuel-air explosives consists of a two-stage aerosol ignition that produces a blast wave of significantly greater power and duration than any other known explosive except nuclear. The vacuum-pressure effect ignites the oxygen between 5,000 and 6,000 degrees and is used when the greatest loss of life and damage to structures is desired.

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : [Jenner in a low voice]  It sets the air on fire. No pain. An end to sorrow, grief... Regret. Everything.

• [Jenner tells the group what happens to the C.D.C. facility in 28 minutes] 

  Rick Grimes : What happens in 28 minutes?

  Rick Grimes : [Rick yells to Jenner]  What happens in 28 minutes!

  Daryl Dixon : Come on!

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : [as Jenner screams to the group]  You know what this place is? We protected the public from very nasty stuff! Weaponized smallpox! Ebola strains that could wipe out half the country! Stuff you don't want getting out! Ever!

• [Rick tells Jenner that it was only a matter of time before they died out there] 

  Rick Grimes : You don't know what it's like out there. You may think you do, but you don't. We'd have died out there. It was only a matter of time. There's too many of those things. My... my boy... My... my wife, I never... I never told 'em what I really thought. I never even hinted, just... Just kept it in. Kept it in and kept us moving, you know. Just kept it in. Kept us...

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : It'll all be okay. It'll be okay.

• [Jenner tells the group that he's all that's left] 

  Rick Grimes : Where is everybody? The other doctors, the staff?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : I'm it. It's just me here.

  Lori Grimes : What about the person you were speaking with? Vi?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : Vi, say hello to our guests. Tell them... Welcome.

  Vi : [Vi responds]  Hello, guests. Welcome.

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : [Jenner looks to Rick]  I'm all that's left.

• [Rick sees the food left by Jenner for their morning hangovers] 

  Rick Grimes : Where'd all this come from?

  Lori Grimes : Jenner.

  Rick Grimes : [Rick hands Lori the bottle of aspirins]  Could you help me, please?

  Lori Grimes : He thought we could use it. Some of us, at least.

  Glenn Rhee : [Glenn holds his face in his arm]  Don't ever, ever, ever let me drink again.

• [the group drinks wine together while at the C.D.C. facility] 

  Dale Horvath : You know, in Italy, children have a little bit of wine with dinner. And in France.

  Lori Grimes : Well, when Carl is in Italy or France, he can have some then.

  Rick Grimes : What's it gonna hurt? Come on.

  Dale Horvath : Come on.

  Rick Grimes : [Lori looks to Rick before agreeing]  What?

  Dale Horvath : There you are, young lad.

  Carl Grimes : [Rick chuckles as Carl takes his first alcoholic drink]  Eww.

  Lori Grimes : [the group laughs at Carl's reaction]  That's my boy. That's my boy.

• [Carl asks his father Rick if he's hungover] 

  Carl Grimes : Are you hungover? Mom said you'd be.

  Rick Grimes : Mom is right.

  Lori Grimes : Mom has that annoying habit.

• [Jenner tells Rick that there is no hope for mankind] 

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : [Jenner looks to Rick]  You do want this. Last night, you said, you knew it was just a matter of time before everybody you loved was dead.

  Shane Walsh : What? You really said that? After all your big talk?

  Rick Grimes : I had to keep hope alive, didn't I?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : There is no hope. There never was.

  Rick Grimes : There's always hope. Maybe it won't be you, maybe not here, but somebody somewhere...

  Andrea : What part of 'Everything's gone' do you not understand?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : Listen to your friend. She gets it. This is what takes us down. This is our extinction event.

• [Jenner tells the computer Vi to do an Enhanced Internal View of TS-19's brain] 

  Shane Walsh : [as the group sees the brain of TS-19]  What are those lights?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : It's a person's life... Experiences, memories. It's everything. Somewhere in all that organic wiring, all those ripples of light, is you... The thing that makes you unique. And human.

  Daryl Dixon : You don't make sense ever?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : Those are synapses, electric impulses in the brain that carry all the messages. They determine everything a person says does or thinks from the moment of birth to the moment of death.

  Rick Grimes : Death? That's what this is, a vigil?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : Yes. Or rather the playback of the vigil.

  Andrea : This person died? Who?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : Test subject 19. Someone who was bitten and infected... And volunteered to have us record the process.

• [Jenner tells the computer Vi to scan forward to the second event] 

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : The resurrection times vary wildly. We had reports of it happening in as little as three minutes. The longest we heard of was eight hours. In the case of this patient, it was two hours, one minute... Seven seconds.

  Lori Grimes : It restarts the brain?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : No, just the brain stem. Basically, it gets them up and moving.

  Rick Grimes : But they're not alive?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : [Jenner holds his arms out]  You tell me.

  Rick Grimes : It's nothing like before. Most of that brain is dark.

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : Dark, lifeless, dead. The frontal lobe, the neocortex, the human part... That doesn't come back. The you part. Just a shell driven by mindless instinct.

• [the group sees the clock counting down in the C.D.C. facility] 

  Dale Horvath : Dr. Jenner, I know this has been taxing for you and I hate to ask one more question, but... That clock... It's counting down. What happens at zero?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : The basement generators... They run out of fuel.

  Rick Grimes : And then?

  Rick Grimes : [as Jenner walks off Rick asks the computer Vi]  Vi, what happens when the power runs out?

  Vi : When the power runs out, facility-wide decontamination will occur.

• [Rick tells Jenner that all they want is a choice] 

  Rick Grimes : You're lying about no hope. If that were true, you'd have bolted with the rest or taken the easy way out. You didn't. You chose the hard path. Why?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : It doesn't matter.

  Rick Grimes : It does matter. It always matters. You stayed when others ran. Why?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : Not because I wanted to. I made a promise... To her. My wife.

  Andrea : Test subject 19 was your wife?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : She begged me to keep going as long as I could. How could I say no? She was dying. It should've been me on that table. I wouldn't have mattered to anybody. She was a loss to the world. Hell, she ran this place. I just worked here. In our field, she was an Einstein. Me? I'm just... Edwin Jenner. She could've done something about this. Not me.

  Rick Grimes : Your wife didn't have a choice. You do. That's... That's all we want... A choice, a chance.

  Lori Grimes : [Jenner looks over to Lori with tears in her eyes]  Let us keep trying as long as we can.

• [the group find Jenner inside the shutter doors of the C.D.C. facility] 

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : Why are you here? What do you want?

  Rick Grimes : A chance.

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : That's asking an awful lot these days.

  Rick Grimes : I know.

• [Rick whispers to Lori in bed as she cries] 

  Rick Grimes : [Lori sniffles]  We don't have to be afraid anymore. We're safe here. All right?

  [Lori cries after nearly being taken advantage of by Shane] 

• [Jenner tells the group there's nothing out there but a brutal life and agonizing death] 

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : You know what's out there... A short, brutal life and an agonizing death.

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : [Jenner looks to Andrea]  Your... Your sister... What was her name?

  Andrea : Amy.

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : Amy. You know what this does. You've seen it.

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : [Jenner looks to Rick]  Is that really what you want for your wife and son?

  Rick Grimes : I don't want this!

• [Rick asks for Jenner to open the doors now] 

  Rick Grimes : Hey, Jenner, open that door now.

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : There's no point. Everything topside is locked down. The emergency exits are sealed.

  Dale Horvath : Well, open the damn things.

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : [Jenner looks to Rick]  That's not something I control. The computers do. I told you once that front door closed, it wouldn't open again. You heard me say that. It's better this way.

• [Rick holds the shotgun over Shane after their struggle together] 

  Rick Grimes : Are you done now? Are you done?

  Shane Walsh : Yeah, I guess we all are.

• Rick Grimes : [Knocking]  How's the blood?

  Dr. Edwin Jenner : No surprises
