Sundays 9:00 PM on AMCThe Walking Dead: Dead City Season 1 Episode 5: "Stories We Tell Ourselves" Quotes
Manholes are sealed! You trying to go after Negan? Is that it? He wanted you to stay at the Bricks. We were so close! You don't even know him. What do you think he's wanted for? Stealing a loaf of bread? You do not know the monster that I know. But if you stick around long enough, you will. Let's go.
Maggie
Negan: Your boat's sunk by now. The guy back at the arena, he's got the whole island on lockdown. You do remember I saved your ass back there.
Pearlie: Whatever that was had nothing to do with me, and everything to do with you and your friend.
Negan: He ain't my friend.
Perlie: Anyway, you saving me doesn't bring back the magistrate that you did kill, or the four other men with him.
Negan: Those assholes, they damn near killed my wife. If you had seen what she looked like when I found her, well, I guarantee you'd done the same.
Negan: You wanna tell me where the hell we're goin', or is it just some big-ass surprise?
Pearlie: Chelsea Piers.
Negan: Like I said, the boats are sunk.
Negan: Pier, no boats? Don't that seem a few ass hairs short of a dingleberry? Pearlie: Don't need boats. Just the dock. It floats. All we gotta do is disconnect it.
Negan: You're from here. You're a New Yorker. Bronx. Worked for the state. Drift collection boats. Scooping up debris. Keeping the rivers clean. What were you?
Negan: Worked for the state too. Gym teacher.
Amaia: I just can't figure it out, how they knew. Maybe it was Luther who tipped them off. He left us. He didn't wanna go through with any of it. Here. Tomasso: No. No, no, no, no, no. It can't be Luther. What would he get out of it?
Maggie: It was him.
Tomasso: The hell you talkin' 'bout?
Maggie: You knew exactly how to get out last night. You knew to go to the sewers. You even knew how to get inside with that bullshit Nonno story. Tomasso: Bullshit? Are you-- Yo, you buggin'. It's how I got off the first time when I was being tortured?
Maggie: Or he cut you a deal.
Tomasso: A deal? Yo, that methane's goin' to your head. You hearin' this? Maggie: Had you tell him where his hideouts were so he could raid them? Probably gave him a signal to let him know that we were coming.
Tomasso: You're paranoid, you know that? You don't trust nobody.
Maggie: Why did you take off your pack?
Tomasso: What? Before you found the oxygen tanks, why did you take your pack off? Do you wanna say it, or shall I?
Tommaso: Amaia. Amaia, hey, hey. Amaia, you're not gonna believe this shit, right? You can't believe--
Maggie: He had the tanks in his pack the whole time! I bet taking them was the signal.
Amaia: Why?
Maggie: 'Cause he's a liar. He doesn't care about anybody but himself.
Tomasso: Amaia, it was a-- ( grunt ) It was a fantasy. ( grunt ) Amaia, Amaia, it was a fantasy. Taking back the island? Reclaiming our home? Our home is gone, Amaia. It's been gone. Everyone is dead. What I did, it was the only way. I did it for you.
Amaia: No, no.
Tommaso: I had to.
Amaia: No.
Tommaso: Amaia!
The Croat: So, it went well. My informant delivered. The threat has been neutralised. And also, Negan is on the island. I saw him with my own eyes. The Dama: Then where is he? Let me see if I understand. The show started out with a bang. Kept me up all night, actually. But then there was a plot twist. You thought you had your hero, but he got away. What good is a hero offstage? So naturally the ending fizzled, and let's face it, everyone knows the ending is all that matters. The Croat: They're here. Only one so far. A marshal, but he comes from the mainland. It's just as you said. There will be those who try to bring it all back, the old laws and prisons, to protect and serve, but really like before, just to punish and steal and feed their fat bellies. Now they've come for what we've built. What's ours. So we have to be ready. The Dama: Which is why we need him. Which is why you fսckеd up so royally. The Croat: I will find him. There is absolutely no way Negan will be getting off this island. I promise you.
