Can’t Be Like That All The Time

 
  

Carl Grimes,

The Sheriff’s Son :

Where are you going? 

 

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener :

I'm down here away from y'all

'cause you kids are supposed to stay away from me.

 

Carl Grimes,

The Sheriff’s Son :

I've been walking The Halls.

My Dad told me to look out for everyone.

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener :

Well, you should keep your distance.

 

Carl Grimes,

The Sheriff’s Son :

You're walking towards The Exit.

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener :

I need to go Out There.

 

Carl Grimes,

The Sheriff’s Son :

To the cell blocks?

 

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener :

To The Woods.

 

 

Carl Grimes,

The Sheriff’s Son :

So you're sneaking out.

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener : 

Don't need anyone worrying about me

and I damn sure don't want

someone telling me I can't go.

 

Carl Grimes,

The Sheriff’s Son :

I can't just let you go out into The Woods by yourself.

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener :

Let me?

 

 

Carl Grimes,

The Sheriff’s Son :

I can't stop you.

But I have to tell My Dad.

 

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener :

 Go ahead, then.

I'll be Out There by the time you find him.

 

Carl Grimes,

The Sheriff’s Son :

 Hershel — If you have to go,

then I have to come with you.

 

 

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener :

Carl.

 

Carl Grimes,

The Sheriff’s Son :

I Have To.

 

 

 

Lizzy:

Carol...?

Mica said you were here.

I don't feel good.

 

( coughs )

 

Carol,

The Great Mother :

 It's okay. Don't worry.

Hey, don't worry.

We're gonna get you better.

You just go In There and lie down.

 

 

Lizzy :

Will you tuck me in?

 

 

Carol,

The Great Mother :

You know My Friend Glenn?

He's the best tucker-in I know.

And he'll make sure that you feel toasty and warm, okay?

 

( coughing within )

 

Carol,

The Great Mother :

Okay. It's okay. It's okay.

It's all right. Go on.

 

 

 

Thanks for being in there.

I know you don't have to be.

It means a lot you being in there with Judith.

 

Beth Greene :

Things okay Out There?

 

Maggie Rhee( nee Greene),

Wife of Glenn :

Glenn has it. 

 

Beth Greene :

Maggie — We don't get to be upset.

 

We all got jobs to do

 

That's What Daddy Always Says

 

Daryl and Michonne will get the meds. 

You and Carol and Rick will help everyone till they get back. 

And I'll take care of Judith.

 

Just focus on What You Have to Do.

No matter what happens,

we'll deal with it. We have to.

 

 

 

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener : 

( referring to Carl’s First Gun  a silenced pistol. )

When did Your Dad give it back?

 

CARL GRIMES,

The Sheriff’s Son :

Yesterday.

After Everything Happened.

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener : 

You've grown a lot these last few months.

There's a responsibility about you.

I Think it's done you good to step back.

 

 

CARL GRIMES,

The Sheriff’s Son : 

Yeah. It was all right.

Can't be like that all the time.

 

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener : 

I would have been fine on my own. It's peaceful out here.

These last couple days, we might be safer outside those walls than in.

 

 

CARL GRIMES,

The Sheriff’s Son :

( Spotting Inbound Trouble a-comin’ their way )

No, we're not.

 

( growling )

( snarls )

 

Carl puts the walker down, clean.

 

CARL GRIMES,

The Sheriff’s Son :

Let's wrap this up.

 

Another lone walker is in heading in their direction — slowly — in the middle distance.

 

It has an animal trap clamped firmly around it’s right leg.

 

It’s the Lost and Suicidal Mud-faced Woman

His Father killed the day before,

but neglected to put-down.

 

( rattling )

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener :

Don't. You don't need to.

 

The Junior Sheriff lowers his pistol and lets her be.

 

 

Hershel Greene,

The Great Gardener :

It was so peaceful.

 

 

 

CARL GRIMES,

The Sheriff’s Son :

It was.

 

Can't be like that all the time.
