The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 12: "The Lucky Ones" Quotes
Mercer: Apparently, someone on an unauthorized radio station has been talking to a rogue community outside of our walls. Hornsby's all over it. Tell me it wasn't you. Please tell me that you were not about to sneak out to meet some stranger at a rail yard.
Max: What could I say?
Mercer: Max, it's dangerous. For everyone at the Commonwealth, but especially for me and you. I gotta go. You better pray Hornsby doesn't realize that was your voice.
Pamela: This is a long way from home, Lance.
Lance: It is. But these communities are perfect for what we're envisioning.
Pamela: What you're envisioning. I'm not convinced we need to stretch our resources like this. Grow your empire further than your power can extend and lose your empire.
Lance: I don't think it's quite that dramatic.
Pamela: Well, how's this for dramatic? If this doesn't go well, we're out. These people are free to stay with us permanently or they can go home and finish their own repairs. There's enough to do at home without having to worry about a couple of small communities in another state.
Lance: Give it a chance, Pamela. I really think you might be surprised.
Pamela: It was a worthy effort, Lance.
Lance: It's not over. It doesn't have to be.
Pamela: It's time to go home.
Lance: We still have Alexandria. I just need time to get the other two.
Pamela: It was a bold move, trying to bring three new communities into the fold. I get why something like that would be appealing to you. Someone needs to run them, right?
Lance: That selection would be at your discretion, obviously.
Pamela: Obviously. I'm gonna pretend that you were doing this for the good of the Commonwealth rather than for yourself.
Lance: I was doing this for you.
Pamela: You've been ambitious our whole lives, Lance. Ambition is notoriously hard to reel in. So... if you want to try and make it work, fine. But if your job at home starts to suffer, there will be consequences. The Commonwealth always comes first.
Diane: I'm leaving, Maggie. Some of the others are coming with me, and you should, too.
Maggie: You need to be careful who you trust. You know that better than anybody.
Diane: You also have to know when to ask for help. It's harder than it has ever been, and it doesn't have to be. I respect the hell outta you, but I can't do this anymore.
It was just dumb luck, honestly. I found the radio parts in a dumpster behind the municipal building. They'd never be left there for security reasons, so someone clearly thought it was trash. But it wasn't trash. It just needed some love.
Max
