The Well

The Walking Dead 7×2

& Carol: What is this place?
    Morgan: Well, the people here— they, um, they call this place «The Kingdom.»

& Morgan: The man I’m taking you to see — the person who’s in charge of this place.
    Carol: This person have a name?... Morgan?
    Morgan: Yeah. He, um... he’s called «King Ezekiel.»
    Carol: What?!

& Morgan: Yeah. King Ezekiel. And, um... he does his own thing. See?
    Carol: Uh, what does that mean?
    Morgan: Well... here we are. Yeah... I, uh, I forgot to say that... Ezekiel has a tiger.

& King Ezekiel: So...tell me... what do you think of The Kingdom, Carol? What do you think of the king?
    Carol: I... think... you’re amazing.

& Carol: Amazing. I would be speechless if I wasn’t already speaking. I don’t know what the hell’s going on in the most wonderful way.

& Ezekiel: I encourage those who find respite here to enjoy the fruits of our grandeur
for as long as they like, so long as they contribute. Drink from the well, replenish the well... once you’ve healed, of course.
    Carol: Of course. Of course. All about the well.

& Ezekiel: At least take a pomegranate.
    Carol: You know, I always found them too much trouble.
    Ezekiel: Sweet fruit surrounded by bitter— they’re something of a contradiction, but heaven for the effort.
    Carol: You park some chocolate in front of me and watch it go bye-bye, but pomegranates— just not for me, thanks.

& Ezekiel: There’s a saying— the pessimist looks down and hits his head. The optimist looks up... and loses his footing. The realist looks forward and adjusts his path accordingly.

& Ezekiel: Some see secrets as a privilege of ruling. They are burdens, not part of the reward. They are the cost.

& Morgan: Sometimes, we change our minds...

& Ezekiel: What’s that saying?.. Never bullshit a bullshitter.

& Ezekiel: That’s funny to you?
    Carol: You’re a joke. This place is. That’s what you do with jokes— you laugh. Out there— Out there, it’s real.

& Ezekiel: The thing is, though... it’s not all bad. It can’t be. It isn’t. Life isn’t. Where there’s life, there’s hope, heroism, grace, and love. Where there’s life, there’s life.

& Carol: Why do you care?!
    Ezekiel: ’Cause it makes me feel good.

& Morgan: I think you’re my favorite person I ever knocked out.
