Hershel Greene



This is 
The End of The World

We don't GET to be upset.

We all got jobs to do. 

Maggie :
(sobs ) 
WHY aren't you in quarantine? 

Hershel: 
I'm no good to anyone in there. 

Maggie :
Daddy, please

Hershel: 
Maggie, dear — there are people in there SUFFERING
I can bring their fever down 
and keep them stable. 

Maggie :
Daryl's getting the antibiotics. 

Hershel: 
Some of these people won't LAST 12 hours....!

Maggie :
I can't let you do this. 

Hershel: 
Maggie, Glenn's in there

What's going on? 


Hershel: 
Elderberries
My wife used to make tea with them. 
They're a natural ‘flu remedy. 
Caleb's too sick to help. I can.
 
There's so many times we haven't been able to do anything to change What Was Happening-- 
What Was Happening TO Us. 

We wished we could, 
but we couldn't

This time, I can. I know I can. 
So I have to

Rick :
Hershel, if you go in there, you're gonna get sick. 

Hershel: 
Wait, we don't KNOW that. 


What we •do• know is that these people's symptoms •need• to be controlled

Hershel, please. 
We can wait. 

Hershel: 
LISTEN, damn it! 

You step outside, 
you risk your life. 

You take a drink of water, 
you risk your life. 

And nowadays you breathe, 
and you risk your life. 

Every moment now you don't have A Choice — 
The only thing you CAN choose 
is what you're risking it FOR

Now, I can make these people feel BETTER and HANG ON a little bit longer. 

I can SAVE Lives. 
That's reason enough 
to risk mine.
And you know that.
