Woods
THREE MONTHS LATER

A zombie is eating a rabbit. Lee Everett walks up behind it and axes it in the back of the head. Mark walks up behind him.

Mark: Damn. What'd they get this time?

Lee: Looks like a rabbit.

Mark: Well, that's another meal lost.

They start walking.

Mark: I still can't believe we went through all that commissary food in three months! It seemed like so much at the time.

Lee: Maybe you shouldn't have opened the door.

Mark: Yeah, except then I'd probably BE food right now. Trust me, I have no regrets!

Lee: A rabbit's hardly a meal, Mark, but...I'd take it. We're all hungry.

Mark: No kidding.

(Saved Carley)=

Mark: When I accidentally grabbed for Carley's rations the other night, I thought she was gonna take off my hand!

Lee: We're all on edge. Just cut her some slack.


 * -|(Saved Doug)=

Mark: Last night I heard your friend Doug laying in bed just naming types of pie. It was driving me nuts. I think he's starting to lose it.

Lee: He's not the only one. Won't you cut him some slack?

Mark: Yeah, you're right. I wish I knew for sure how much food we have left.

We'll manage.=

Lee: We'll manage.

Mark: Maybe. You know some people aren't too happy about the way Lilly is handling rations.

Lee: Lilly knows it's important to keep the adults fed and functioning. Sometimes that means someone's gotta miss a meal.


 * -|You'll have to ask Lilly.=

Lee: You'll have to ask Lilly. She's the one handling the rations.

Mark: Or mishandling it, if you ask Kenny.

Lee: He's just worried about his kid getting enough. I worry about Clementine, too.


 * -|Not enough.=

Lee: Not enough. According to Lilly we've just about hit the last of our food reserves. Some people might have to go without tonight.

Mark: You mean "Lilly's Lottery" again. Kenny's gonna be pissed.



Mark: ...That much, huh? Does Kenny know?

Lee: I don't know.

Mark: You think Kenny's having any more luck than we are out here?

Lee: I sure hope so.

Mark: Yeah, between the lack of food and Kenny and Lilly fighting all the time, things are getting pretty tense back at the motor inn. You know Kenny's been talking about taking off if he can get that RV running.

He's got a family to look out for.=

Lee: He's got a wife and son to look out for.

You gave your opinion about Kenny.

Mark: And they're safest in a big group. Going out on his own will get them ALL killed.


 * -|Kenny won't abandon us.=

Lee: Kenny won't abandon us. He's a good man.

You gave your opinion about Kenny.

Mark: I guess we'll see.


 * -|He's better off without us.=

Lee: Maybe he'll be better off without us. And we'll have three fewer mouths to feed.

You gave your opinion about Kenny.

Mark: And one fewer gun hand. One way or another, it's a bad situation.



Mark: I think we're stronger as a group. I just don't know what'll happen if we start to break apart.

Mark: Can't blame him, though--did you hear Larry going off on him last night? What's the old guy's deal, anyway? Seems like he's got a problem with you in particular.

A bird caws and flies.

He thinks I'm dangerous.=

Lee: He thinks I'm a danger to the group and Clementine.

Mark will remember that.

Mark: I think he's the one putting us in danger. The way Lilly worries about his health, I wouldn't be surprised if she's been skimming rations for him.


 * -|He's an old racist asshole.=

Lee: He's just an old racist asshole, that's his deal.

Mark will remember that.

Mark: Well, he needs to get over that and start finding a way to pull his weight. Heart problems or not, we should all be out here trying to find food.


 * -|He's just looking out for his daughter.=

Lee: Larry's just looking out for his daughter.

Mark will remember that.

Mark: Hey, I know Lilly. She can take care of herself. He needs to take that energy and put it towards finding us some more food.


 * -|I have no idea.=

Lee: Who knows what Larry's problem is?

Mark: Maybe that's the way he is, but that guy needs to chill out.



Lee says nothing.

Mark: And I know Lilly thinks he's getting weaker, but the guy's all muscle! He's a walking piledriver! I know I wouldn't want to be stuck in a room with him! And didn't he punch you in the face one time?

Lee: Knocked me flat.

The bird flies into a tree. Lee and Mark duck down behind a rock, with the latter ready to shoot it.

Shoot it!=

Lee: Take the shot! We need anything we can get at this point.

Mark fires but misses and the bird flies away.


 * -|Don't risk the noise.=

Lee: Don't. Gunshot'll bring walkers. One bird's not worth it.

Mark lowers the gun.

Mark: Yeah, I know... I'm just...really frickin' hungry.


 * -|Can you make that shot?=

Lee: It's a long shot. I'd hate to waste the bullets.

Mark: Trust me. If I don't think I can hit it, I won't.

Mark fires but misses and the bird flies away.



Lee says nothing. Mark fires but misses and the bird flies away.

They hear a far off scream.

Mark: Shit! Was that Kenny?!

Lee: I don't know! Come on!

They run toward the scream for a while, then they stop once they can't find its location. They hear the scream again, and Lee and Mark head in that direction. They find a teacher stuck in a bear trap and two college students trying to get him out.

Mark: Jesus Christ...

The teenagers turn around.

Travis: Oh, shit! No. No, please don't kill us! We just want to help our teacher! We'll leave, I swear!

Kenny catches up with them.

Kenny: Lee! You guys okay?

David: Get it off! Get it off, goddamn it, get it off me!

Ben: Travis, maybe they can help!

Travis: These might be the same guys that raided our camp and... We barely got away from that!

Mark: What guys?

Kenny: Why the fuck is there a bear trap out HERE?!

Ben: I don't know, man...

We're not gonna hurt you.=

Lee: It's okay. We're not gonna hurt you.

Travis: Don't listen to them, Ben! Please, just let it go! We're not a threat to you!

Kenny: Kid, chill out! We'll try to help you, but you've got to shut the fuck up!


 * -|What happened?!=

Lee: What the hell happened?

Ben: Mr. Parker said we should stay off the streets! We were trying to be careful but--

David: Rrrrrrrgghhh!


 * -|Who raided your camp?=

Lee: Who raided your camp?!

Ben: I--I don't know! Guys with guns!

Travis: Please! We won't bother you! I swear!



Lee says nothing.

Mark: Lee, this is fucked up. We've gotta help 'em.

Ben: PLEASE!

Travis: Ben, shut up! My dad was Special Forces, I know what I'm doing!

Ben: Just see if you can get him out! After that you can leave us or whatever, I don't care! Please!

We'll try!=

Lee: We gotta get him out of there.

David: Oh, God, thank you!

Kenny: Fine, but you gotta hurry!


 * -|Not our problem.=

Lee: This isn't our problem. We should go.

Ben: No, no, please! At least just LOOK at the trap! Just look at it and maybe you can TELL us how to get it off!

David: Please, help me!


 * -|Was he bitten?=

Lee: Was he bitten?

Ben: Bitten? No! I swear!



Mark: Lee, come on...what is there to think about? We gotta try!

Mark bends down to look at the trap.

David: Hurry...please, hurry...

A walker walks nearby.

David: Ggnnnnrrrnnn!

Mark: Lee, this trap's been altered. There's no release latch.

Travis: ...Oh, no.

Two walkers are heading towards them.

Kenny: Shit! Walkers! It's now or never, Lee.

David: Please...get me out of this!

Lee: Mark, get the boys back!

Lee bends down to look at the trap.

Lee: Kenny, keep those walkers off of me!

Idle Comments=

Talk to Ben

Lee: Kid, we need you to keep an eye on those zombies.

Ben: Ah, crap. Okay...

Talk to Ben Again

Ben: Screw you, man! Just help him!

Optional interactions=

Chop David's leg=

Lee stands up.

David: Oh, God.

Lee: I'm gonna have to cut you out!

David: No, no, no! Try the trap again! Anything, please!


 * -|Do nothing=

Kenny stops Lee with whatever he's doing.

You weren't able to free David.

Kenny: Come on! We gotta go! Now!

David: No, no, don't leave me!

Mark: Damn it, Lee!

Lee: I'm sorry!

Travis: No! We can't leave Mr. Parker like that! Give me the gun! (grabs for Mark's gun)

Mark: Goddamn it, let go!

Travis: Give it to me!

Ben: Travis?!

Lee turns around. Mark accidentally gut shoots Travis.

Travis: ...Oh, God.

Kenny: Shit! What happened?!

Ben: Oh, God!

Walkers are heading toward them.

Kenny: Grab the kid and keep moving!

Mark picks Travis up over his shoulders and follows everyone.

Mark: Come on! Move!

David: You can't leave me like this. Please get me out!

David screams as walkers surround and devour him.

Motel
Larry is fortifying the fence. Clementine is playing soccer with herself, kicking the ball against some barrels. Lilly sits in a chair on the RV, keeping watch. Duck is lying down and drawing on a board on the floor, and Katjaa kneels next to him. Lilly hears the leaves rustling, so she picks up her gun and points it at the forest. Lilly whistles, and everyone stops what they're doing to hide. Kenny, Mark, Lee, Ben, and Travis/David burst out of the forest.

Lee: Get the gates open! We've got wounded.

Lilly lowers her gun.

Lilly: Shit. What the hell are they doing?

The rest of the motel group runs to the gates as Lee and the others approach.

Kenny: Come on, come on!

Katjaa: Oh, my god!

Lee pushes open one of the dumpsters blocking the gate and the group enters. Everyone begins talking at the same time, speaking over each other.

Katjaa: What happened?!

Mark: Where should I put him?

Larry: Who the HELL are these people?!

Duck: Who's that?

(Saved Carley)=

Carley: What's going on?

Lee interrupts them.

Lee: I don't have time to explain.

Clementine: Lee, are you okay?

Katjaa: Get him into the truck, I'll see what I can do, okay?

Katjaa briefly hugs Duck, and Mark and Ben put Travis/David into the truckbed.

Kenny: Kat, can you fix him?

Katjaa: Jesus, Ken! I...I don't know!

Katjaa attends to Travis/David.

Lilly: Lee! Lee! What the hell?! You can't just be bringing new people here! What are you thinking?!

Kenny: Hey, you wanna calm down for a fucking minute?

Larry: Hey, watch your mouth!

Lilly: No, I don't! I want to know why you thought bringing more mouths to feed was a good idea?!

He would have died if we left him!=

Lee: He would've died if we left him!

Larry: So what?


 * -|We left the other one behind.=

Lee: We left the other one behind.

Lilly: Other one?! Jesus, Lee! What if there are more of them?! What if they followed you here?!

Ben: There wasn't anybody else! Just us!

Larry: How do you know he's not lying?!


 * -|(Brought back David/Travis)=



Mark: Jesus Christ.

Mark: Come on, Lilly. These are people! People trying to survive, just like us. We've gotta stick together to survive!

Lilly: The only reason you're here is because you had food. Enough for ALL of us. But that food is almost gone, we've got maybe a week's worth left, and I don't suppose you guys are carrying any groceries, are you?

Ben: Um, no.

Mark: Fine. You guys fight it out, then. (to Ben) Welcome to the family, kid.

Mark walks away.

Clementine: (to Ben) Come over here and see what I drew.

Clementine tugs on Ben's sleeve.

Ben: What? No, I--

Clementine takes Ben's hand and tries to pull him away.

Clementine: Just come on, okay?

They both walk away.

Kenny: (to Lilly) You know, you like to think you're the leader of this little group, but we can make our own goddamn decisions! This isn't your own personal dictatorship!

(Saved Carley)=

Carley: Oh, come on! You're being dramatic! Everything always turns into a power struggle between you two. I'm not gonna be a part of that.

Carley walks away.

Lilly: Hey, I didn't ask to lead this group! Everyone was happy to have me distributing the food when there was enough to go around, but now that it's running out, suddenly I'm a goddamn Nazi!

Lilly's right.=

Lee: Lilly's right. This group needs someone to be a leader or we're all gonna fall apart. We can't keep fighting amongst ourselves.

They all noticed you side with Lilly.

Kenny: Great. Way to take sides, Lee!

Kenny and Duck walk away.

Lee: Look, they're here now, we can't change that...so what do you want to do?

Lilly: (pauses in thought) They can stay until Katjaa finishes working on that guy. Then they HAVE to go. I don't care what condition they're in. We just don't have enough food.


 * -|Kenny's right.=

Lee: Kenny's right. Yeah, you're in charge of the food and the schedules, but you're NOT in charge of people's lives.

They all noticed you side with Kenny.

Lilly: Really?!

Kenny: You weren't there. Lee made a choice. End of story.

Kenny and Duck walk away.

Lee: Look, once Katjaa patches that guy up, you can kick them outta here... Send 'em out on their own, I couldn't care less. But they at least deserve a fighting chance against the walkers. And for the record, Kenny wanted to leave those people behind!

Lilly: If Kenny would pull his head out of his ass for five seconds, he'd realize that I make these decisions to protect HIS family! We simply don't have enough food!


 * -|It doesn't matter who's in charge!=

Lee: It doesn't matter who's in charge! Those people are here now. I guess we just have to decide what happens next.

You tried to stay neutral.

Kenny: No, Lee, it DOES matter! ONE person can't be in charge of EVERYTHING! You know, it might feel safe for you to sit on the fence, but sooner or later you're gonna have to decide whose side you're on.

Kenny and Duck walk away.



Kenny: You've got nothing to say about that, Lee?

Kenny was frustrated by your silence.

Kenny: You know, it might feel safe for you to sit on the fence, but sooner or later you're gonna have to decide whose side you're on.

Kenny and Duck walk away.

Larry: I don't see any of you stepping up to make the hard decisions! My girl's got more balls than all of you combined!

Lilly: Dad, please. Why don't you go help Mark with the wall?

Larry leaves angrily.

(Saved Doug)=

Larry bumps into Doug with his shoulder as he walks away.

(Sided with Lilly)=

Lilly: Look, I can't do this right now. You understand what I'm dealing with. Please do me a favor, I need you to handle the rations today.

Lilly goes over to the backpack next to the RV and takes out an apple, beef jerky, and two packages of crackers. She holds them out to Lee.

Lee: That's all you're giving out?

Lilly: If we're gonna make what's left last the week, then this is all we can spare today. It's not gonna be enough for everyone, but... Just do what you think is right.


 * -|(Sided with Kenny)=

Lilly: You know what? If you think I'm doing such a shitty job, then you do it!

Lilly goes over to the backpack next to the RV and takes out an apple, beef jerky, and two packages of crackers. She holds them out to Lee.

Lilly: That's ALL the food we have for today. YOU decide who gets to eat!

Lee: Lilly--

Lilly: No, I'm serious. Pick up that food, and start handing it out. YOU see how it feels to not have enough food for everyone.


 * -|(Stayed neutral/stayed silent)=

Lilly: You think this is easy for me? Everyone's starting to hate me because I'M the one that rations the food. But NOBODY else wants to! You know what? I'm not doing it tonight.

Lilly goes over to the backpack next to the RV and takes out an apple, beef jerky, and two packages of crackers. She holds them out to Lee.

Lilly: You do it. There's today's food rations, but there's not enough for everyone. Good luck.

Lee takes the food and Lilly walks away.

You only have four food items for ten hungry people.

Everyone looks at Lee, knowing that whether they get to eat or not is up to him now.

Optional interactions=

Talk to Katjaa

Lee: Is he gonna be okay?

Katjaa: I don't know. Can you give me a hand real quick?

Sure. What do you need?=

Lee: Sure. What do you need?

Katjaa: Just apply some pressure here while I try to close this up...

Lee applies pressure to the wound.

Katjaa: You know, I thought I was starting to get used to this...sewing up people's injuries...

Katjaa: Well, you've done all you can, Lee. Thanks for the help.


 * -|I'd better not.=

TBC



Katjaa: It's okay, I'll handle it. Just give me some space, okay?

Katjaa: Go ahead and check in on the others. I need a little space here, anyway.

Talk to Katjaa Again

Katjaa: I need space, Lee.

Give Food to Katjaa

Lee: Here, eat something.

Katjaa: (annoyed) Why don't you give it to Duck? I'm a little busy with your mess right now.

Talk to Doug (Saved Doug)

Lee: Hey, Doug.

Doug looks up from the alarm system he's working on and hits his head on one of the bells.

Doug: Oof! Ahh... What's up, Lee?

Want some food? [Give Food]=

Lee: Don't suppose I could interest you in some food?


 * -|What are you working on?=

Lee: What are you working on, Doug?

Doug: I worked up a little "warning system" for outside.


 * -|Think Katjaa can save that guy?=

Lee: Think Katjaa can save that guy?

Doug: Maybe. I mean, I know about computers but that doesn't mean I can fix a calculator.

Lee: But you probably COULD fix a calculator.

Doug: Well, yeah... Good point.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: Take it easy, Doug.

Doug: You too, Lee.

Lee goes behind the RV. Clementine and Duck are drawing pictures on pieces of paper placed on top of a board. Clementine drew a cat and Duck drew what appears to be a house, or possibly random scribbles. Clementine's walkie-talkie is nearby, covered in flower stickers. Carley sits in a chair nearby, and Ben sits on the ground. Clementine stands up and goes to Lee.

Lee: How ya doing, Clementine?

Clementine: Okay.

Lee: Where's your hat?

Clementine: I don't know. Can you help me find it?

Sure.=

Lee: Sure. When did you lose it?

Clementine: I had it a couple days ago.


 * -|I don't have time.=

Lee: Sorry, hon, I don't have time.

Clementine: That was my favorite hat.


 * -|Do you really need it?=

TBC



Clementine: Lee!

Lee: I promise, if I find it, I'll let you know.

Clementine: Thank you.

Lee: Okay, Clem. I've got to take care of some things. Why don't you go back to playing with Duck for a while?

Clementine: Okay.

Talk to Lilly

Want some food? [Give Food]=

Lee: Here.


 * -|Let's talk about you and Kenny.=

Lee: We should talk about you and Kenny.

Lilly: What about us?

Lee: The arguing. It's getting pretty out of hand. You know, people notice that.

Lilly: Look, I'm working my ASS off to make sure we have a good setup here and Kenny just doesn't appreciate that. All we need is food.

Lee: But there is no food. You know that better than anyone.

Lilly: Well, we'll just have to find some.


 * -|We should think about leaving here.=

Lee: Maybe we should think about leaving the motel.

Lilly: God, not you too. I know Kenny wants to leave. I think that's why he's so eager to get the RV working. But this is a good spot. We're protected, we're close the drugstore, we have a routine now and it's working.

Lee: For now.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: Keep an eye out.

Lilly: Fine.

Talk to Ben

Ben: Hey, is my friend gonna make it?

Lee: I don't know, but Katjaa will do her best, I promise.

(Chopped David's leg)=

Ben: I can't believe you chopped off his leg!

Lee: There was no other way.


 * -|(Didn't chop David's leg)=

Ben: I can't believe we just left Mr. Parker there...

Lee: I tried. I really did. I just...we ran out of time. There was nothing else we could do.

Want some food? [Give Food]=

TBC


 * -|So, who are you?=

Lee: So, who are you people? Our group's gonna want to know.

Ben: I'm Ben. Ben Paul.

Ben: We all came down from Stone Mountain for the playoffs, when...when everything happened.


 * -|How you holding up?=

Lee: How you holding up, kid?

Ben: Uh, well, I, uh... I keep wondering if I could have done something to help, you know? Some kind of...I don't know. SOMETHING.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: Relax, we'll get your friend back to normal in no time.

Ben: I sure hope so.

Talk to Clementine

Want some food? [Give Food]=

Lee: Here, Clem, you need something to eat.


 * -|Are you doing ok?=

Lee: How you doing, Clementine? Everything alright?

Clementine: Yeah. Is that man going to be okay?


 * -|You still have that walkie-talkie?=

Lee: That thing doesn't work anymore, does it?

Clementine: No. Not since it broke at the drugstore.

Lee: Just gonna hold onto it then?

Clementine: Yeah. If that's okay. I, um, I need it.

Lee: It's okay, hon.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: You'll be okay over here?

Clementine: Uh-huh, I'll be okay.

Talk to Clementine Again

Lee: You'll be okay over here?

Clementine: Uh-huh, I'll be okay.

Talk to Duck

Want some food? [Give Food]=

Lee: Hey, Duck, how about a little food?

Duck looks happy.


 * -|How are ya doing?=

Lee: How are ya doing, Duck?

Duck: I'm okay. Me and Clementine are coloring.

Clementine holds up her drawing.

Clementine: Guess what it is?

Ben: I don't know...a dog?

Clementine: Nope.

Duck: Oh, I know! It's a goat, right?

Clementine: No!

Clementine appears to be frustrated by their inability to appreciate her artistic talent.


 * -|You're a pretty brave kid.=

Lee: You were pretty brave when we brought those people in here.

Duck: That's 'cause I know Mom can fix him.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: Catch you later, Duck.

Duck: Bye, Lee.

Talk to Carley (saved Carley)

Want some food? [Give Food]=

TBC


 * -|I'm giving out food, what should I do?=

Lee: Lilly has me handing out the food.

Carley: Ugh. That can't be an easy job.

Lee: It's not. I won't be able to feed everyone. What should I do?

Carley: Well, if you wanted to get in good with Lilly, I'd make sure Larry gets some food, even though the guy can be a real dick sometimes. On the other hand, giving that food to Kenny and his family might make him remember you if he decides to take off in that RV one day.

Lee: What about you? You need food too.

Carley: We ALL need food. I can't tell you what to do. But whatever happens, I know you'll be trying to do the right thing.

Lee: Thanks, Carley.


 * -|Sleeping any better?=

Lee: Sleeping any better?

Carley: No. I know we should be grateful for beds, but, no. I'm not.

Lee: Drugstore?

Carley: Yeah.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: Back in a bit.

Talk to Kenny

Kenny sits on a couch behind the RV.

Lee: Word's gettin' out that you wanna leave the motor inn.

Kenny: That ain't no secret, Lee. It's probably our best bet.

Kenny stands up.

(Saved Duck, sided with Kenny against Larry)=

Kenny: Look, you've been good to me and my family. You saved Duck from those monsters, and ya stood up to Larry at the drugstore. I won't forget that. You and Clem are welcome to come with us.


 * -|(Saved Duck, didn't side with Kenny)=

TBC


 * -|(Didn't save Duck, sided with Kenny against Larry)=

Lee: I'm not sure that's the best idea.

Kenny: You gave Glenn your blessing when he left, I'm just asking you to respect my choice as well.

Lee: Yeah, but he was leaving to find his friends. Your family's right here.

Kenny: Well, "here" isn't doing us any good. You should think about coming with us. You and Clem.


 * -|(Didn't save Duck, didn't side with Kenny against Larry)=

Lee: Got room for me and Clem in there?

Kenny: Listen. I gotta look out for my family. I gotta know that whoever I take with me is gonna be looking out for Kat and Duck.

Kenny doesn't think you were looking out for Duck in the last episode.

Lee: Wait, I know that--

Kenny: Lee, you left Duck in danger twice! Well, the RV ain't even working yet so there's no point in talking about it right now.

You should stay here.=

Lee: We need you here. We have a better chance of surviving as a group.

You tried to convince Kenny to stay.

Kenny: Our BEST chance of surviving is to get away from the mainland! My mind is made up.


 * -|The coast does sound like a smart idea.=

Lee: The coast does sound like a smart idea. Maybe that is the best thing.

You told Kenny leaving for the coast was a good idea.

Kenny: I know that it is. I'm taking my family.

Kenny sits down.

Talk to Kenny Again

Want some food? [Give Food]=

TBC


 * -|About the guy in the bear trap...=


 * -|Lilly's right about these new people...=

Lee: Lilly has a point about these new people being extra mouths to feed.

Kenny: I know, but...maybe the problem isn't that there isn't any food, there just isn't any HERE! We've gotta think about moving on.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: Let's hope things turn for the better...soon.

Kenny: Now there's a statement I can get behind.

Comment From Lilly (fed Kenny, didn't side with Lilly)

Lilly: How's it going, Lee? From up here it looks like you're playing favorites.

Lee approaches Mark and Larry working on the fence.

Larry: Will you hold the damn boards steady?!

Mark: I'm trying. I--I didn't realize I was getting this weak already.

Larry: What do you want? A handout? I got 60 cents in my pocket if you'll shut up and quit being such a pansy.

Talk to Mark

Mark: Hey. You holding up okay, Lee?

(Chopped David's leg)=

Mark: That was pretty fucked up back there. Having to cut that guy's leg off.

Lee: Yeah. I just hope Katjaa can save him.

Mark nods.


 * -|(Didn't chop David's leg)=

TBC

Want some food? [Give Food]=

Lee: Here, eat something.


 * -|Lilly's pretty pissed at us.=

Lee: Lilly's pretty pissed at us.

Mark: Listen, I know her intentions are good, but--

Larry: But nothing! She's making the smart choice. Those parasites you guys brought back need to go!


 * -|Ever miss the Air Force base?=

Lee: You ever miss the Air Force base? I mean, this wall isn't exactly military standard.

Mark: No way I'm going back there. You saw what it was like when you guys picked me up. Completely overrun.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: Well, good luck with that wall.

Mark: We'll get it.

Talk to Larry

Want some food? [Give Food]=

Lee: Here, Larry.


 * -|Lilly wants to ditch the new people.=

Lee: Lilly thinks we should throw these new people out.

Larry: Damn right. There's too many people hanging around here as it is.


 * -|Lilly and Kenny need to get along.=

Lee: You've got to talk to Lilly about getting along with Kenny.

Larry: Lilly can make her own friends.

Lee: It's not about making friends. We're all in this together, we've gotta start acting like it.

Larry: Eh, stuff all that. We'd be fine without you.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: Keep up on that fence.

Larry: Don't tell me what to do, Lee.

After Lee exits after speaking to Larry or Mark for the first time, a conversation ensues.

Lee: Need any help with the wall?

Larry: Nope.

Mark: Actually, we could use your axe. You mind if we take it?

Larry: Yeah, give us that thing for a bit.

[GIVE AXE TO MARK]=

Lee: Here, Mark. This should help.

Lee gives the axe to Mark.

Mark: Thanks.

Larry: Hey, I'm the one doing all the work over here. You didn't think to give ME the axe?


 * -|[GIVE AXE TO LARRY]=

Lee: Here. This should help. Try not to make too much noise, though.

Lee offers the axe, and Larry rips it out of his hands.

Larry: Yeah, yeah. We're not stupid.

(Said Larry thinks he's dangerous)=

Mark: Come on, Larry, give it a rest. I'm sure Lee is getting pretty sick of you thinking he's a danger to the group.

Larry: Is that what you told him?


 * -|(Said Larry was racist)=

Mark: Come on, Larry, give it a rest, man. Things are different--being a racist is outdated.

Larry: Oh, that's what you think this is? (to Lee) Is that what you told him?


 * -|(Said Larry was looking out for Lilly)=

Mark: Come on, Larry. Cut Lee some slack. He knows you're just out to protect Lilly, he told me so. Just like he's trying to protect Clementine.

Larry: HE--(sighs) I just need some food. Going this long without a proper meal will make anybody cranky.


 * -|(Said he had no idea what Larry's problem is)=

TBC


 * -|(Said nothing)=

Mark: Come on, Larry. What is it between you two? Why do you have a personal grudge against Lee?

Larry: He knows why.

Whoever Lee gave the axe to will use it like a hammer, hitting the flat side of the blade against the wall.

After Lee has given away all but one piece of food, he will have to make a choice about the last of the rations.

[Save the last piece of food for someone else]=

Lee: Nah. Some of these people have gone longer than me without food. They're the ones that need it.


 * -|[Keep the last piece of food for yourself]=

Lee: I need to keep my strength up too.

You chose to keep food for yourself.

After Lee has distributed all the food, he approaches Lilly.

Lee: Well, that's it.

Lilly: Not such an easy job, is it?

(Didn't feed Doug)=

Lee looks over at Doug, and Doug shakes his head.


 * -|(Didn't feed Carley)=

Carley: It's okay. I know you're still watching out for me.


 * -|(Didn't feed Mark)=

Lee looks over at Mark, and Mark shakes his head.


 * -|(Didn't feed Clementine)=

Clementine: I hope I get to eat next time.

Lee: I don't envy you. I don't know how you have the strength to do this every day.

Lilly: I don't have a choice.

There is no food left for today.

Kenny stands up and walks toward Lee.

(Fed Duck and Kenny)=

Kenny: Hey, thanks for looking out for me and my family...

Kenny: Still, I guess some people aren't gonna be happy with your choices.


 * -|(Fed Duck and Clementine but not Kenny)=

Kenny: Lee--

Lee: Kenny, I know I ran out of food before--

Kenny: Hey, it was a tough choice, but you took care of the kids. That's what a real man does.

Kenny: Still, I guess some people aren't gonna be happy with your choices.


 * -|(Didn't feed Duck, Clementine, or Kenny)=

Kenny: What exactly is your problem?!

Lee: Excuse me?

Kenny: You had the food IN YOUR HANDS and you didn't offer any of it to me OR the kids? What kinda man are you? (sighs in disappointment)

(Didn't feed Larry)=

Larry: You're out?! What happened to MY food?!

Lee: There's none left.

Larry: You keep treating people like this and your days in this group are numbered!

Kenny: You're one to talk, old man.

Larry: Yeah, well, I don't see you working on that wall!

Larry walks away.

Kenny returns to his seat.

Katjaa: Ken! Lee! Come here, please.

Kenny and Lee approach Katjaa.

Kenny: He didn't make it, did he?

Katjaa: He lost too much blood.

Kenny: Goddamn it! I'm getting sick of this shit!

Kenny throws something against the RV and storms off.

Katjaa: Ken, come back, there's nothing...

Let him go.=

Lee: Let him go, Katjaa.

Katjaa: But...

Lee: He just needs time. It's been a rough morning.


 * -|What's his problem?=


 * -|I'm sick of this shit, too.=

Lee: I'm sick of this shit too.

Katjaa: You don't think I am? I don't know... Maybe it's for the best. We're already struggling to feed our OWN kids.



Katjaa: (sighs) I wish he wouldn't do that.

Katjaa: That man you brought... I tried, but he was never going to survive.

Lee: Well, at least he's not our problem anymore.

Katjaa: What about the other kid?

I don't know.=

Lee doesn't have a chance to speak.


 * -|We need to get rid of him.=

Lee doesn't have a chance to speak.


 * -|Lilly wants him gone.=

Lee doesn't have a chance to speak.


 * -|Maybe he can stay for a while.=

Lee doesn't have a chance to speak.

The zombified corpse of David/Travis grabs Katjaa's shoulder and face.

Katjaa: AAAAHHHH!

Lee: Shit! Katjaa!

Lee rushes over and pushes the zombie away from Katjaa. He turns around to speak to the others.

Lee: The axe! Hurry!

The zombie grabs onto Lee and pulls him into the truckbed. Lee smashes its head against the sides several times.

(Gave Mark the axe)=

Mark runs up to him holding the axe.

Mark: MOVE! MOVE!

Mark raises the axe, preparing to strike. Lee shoves the walker away, and its head hits the back windowshield; it slumps down just as Mark swings, missing and completely shattering the window.

Mark: SHIT! It's stuck!

Mark tries to pull on the axe to free it.


 * -|(Gave Larry the axe)=

Larry runs up to him holding the axe.

Larry: GET OUT OF THE DAMN WAY!

Larry raises the axe, preparing to strike. Lee shoves the walker away, and its head hits the back windowshield; it slumps down just as Larry swings, missing and completely shattering the window.

Larry: Damn it! I had it! Fuck!

The zombie crawls toward Lee and he places his foot on its chest, trying to push it away.

(Saved Doug)=

Doug will appear next to him, holding a board.

Doug: I GOT 'EM!

Doug smashes the board on the zombie's head.

Lee kicks the zombie away. The zombie grabs Lee's foot, and he kicks it a few more times. Lee crawls backward, falling over the edge of the truckbed and onto the ground. The zombie jumps onto him, and Lee gouges its eyes.

(Saved Doug)=


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Carley appears above him, holding her gun.

Lee: SHOOT IT!

Carley shoots the zombie in the head and Lee pushes the corpse off himself. Carley crouches down next to him, and Larry walks over.

Carley: You okay?

Lee: Yeah. Thanks.

Carley and Lee get up.

Larry: Why'd you bring him here in the first place, asshole?!

Lilly: Dad! Calm down.

Larry: You're gonna get us ALL killed!

Kenny hugs Katjaa, and Ben approaches the group. Kenny walks toward him.

Kenny: Why didn't you tell us he was bitten?!

Ben: What?!

Kenny: He was bitten and you didn't say a goddamn word!

Ben: But he wasn't bitten! I swear!

Kenny: Well, your "not-bitten" friend here came back to life and tried to kill my wife!

Ben: What?! Wait, you all don't know?

Kenny: What the hell are you talking about?

Everyone moves closer to Ben to listen to his explanation, including the children.

Ben: It's not the bite that does it! You come back no matter how you die. If you don't destroy the brain, that's just what happens. It's gonna happen to ALL of us.

You're lying.=

Lee: You're lying.

Ben: It's true. I swear it!

Katjaa: Maybe he's right. I didn't see any bites. It would explain why there's so many of them.

Kenny: Jesus Christ. If you just DIE and that's all it takes, then, shit, one fatal car wreck and a family of five turns into a family of walkers.


 * -|We're all infected?=

Lee: We're all infected? Everyone?

Ben: I--I guess so. I don't know... All I know is that I've seen people turn who I KNOW were never bitten.


 * -|God help us.=

Lee: God help us.

Mark: It makes sense. In those first few days it spread so fast.

Lilly: Car accidents, suicides, everything was making more of them.



Lee says nothing.

Ben: When I first saw it happen, we were all hiding out in a gym and everybody thought we were finally safe. But one of the girls, Jenny Pitcher, I think, I guess she couldn't take it. She took some pills. A lot of them. Someone went in the girls' room the next morning, and... God...

(Saved Doug)=

The bells on Doug's alarm system begin ringing as one man trips over the string outside the motel with another man next to him. The motel survivors crouch down behind the fence and whisper.

Mark: Doug! It works!

Doug: Of course it works! I told you!

Danny: Shit. Where'd this string come from?

Andy: Watch where you're walking, man.

Lilly: (to Ben) Who are those people?!

Ben: I--I don't know!

Kenny sneaks up to the fence, holding his hunting rifle.

Kenny: There's just two of 'em. We need to make a stand.

Lilly: No. We have a routine. We don't confront them if we don't have to.

Mark returns holding his rifle.

Andy: You alright?

Danny: Yeah, just gettin' untangled...

Andy: I don't know how you're still alive, man.

Kenny: Sorry, Lilly, we gotta do this.

Kenny stands up and points his gun at the men.

Kenny: That's far enough!

Andy: Oh, shit! Okay, okay... No problem.


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Carley: Back off!

Carley points her gun at two men outside the fence and they put their hands up. One of them holds a gas can.

Andy: Whoa, lady, relax! Me and my brother, we...we just wanna know if y'all can help us out.

Carley: I said back off!

Lilly: Carley...

We don't want any trouble.=

Lee: We don't want any trouble.

Andy: Of course. Neither do we. I'm Andy St. John. This here's my brother Danny. We're just out looking for gasoline. Looks like you folks got the motel locked down, which is fine, but if you could spare any gas we'd be much obliged.


 * -|Are you armed?=

Lee: Are you armed?

Danny: Yeah. For protection. Dead could be anywhere.

Andy: But, uh, I think you've got the upper hand here.


 * -|You're outnumbered here.=

Lee: You're outnumbered here, just turn around and go back.

Andy: Okay, that's fine. But you'd really be helping out a fellow survivor if you could part with some extra gas before we leave... (raises the empty gas can)



Andy: Looks like you folks got the motel locked down, which is fine, but if you could spare any gas we'd be much obliged.

(Saved Doug)=

Lilly: What do you need gas for?


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Carley: Why do you need gas?

Danny: Our place is protected by an electric fence. Generators provide the electricity...

Andy: Our generators run on gas. Look, we own a dairy farm a few miles up the road. If y'all be willing to lower your guns, we can talk about some kinda trade.

Danny: How y'all doing on food? We got plenty at the dairy.

Lilly: Lee, why don't you and Mark check the place out? See if it's legit.

(Saved Doug)=

Doug: I'll go too, improve the numbers, in case we run into anything dead.


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Carley puts her gun away.

Carley: I'm going with you. I got your back if anything seems fishy.

Andy: So, what do y'all think?

No deal, we'll just stay here.=

Lee: I think we'll stay here. We're starting to develop a good vibe here at the motel.

You voted against going to the dairy.

Larry: Good VIBE? Well, Christ daddio, I'm sorry the folks with a food supply and DEFENSES didn't tickle your pretty pink ass.

Mark: We need to think like a GROUP, Lee. This affects everyone.

Lilly: Then we vote. If everyone agrees then we'll send you guys with some gas to check the place out.

Kenny: And if we don't?

Lilly: Then we'll stay in this wretched roach motel with your recreational paperweight over there. Plus, we stay close to Macon where we have access to the pharmacy, for Dad. Kenny, Katjaa?

Kenny: We go.

Lilly: Dad?

Larry: You betcha, punkin.

Mark: I'm in. If they're offering food, we gotta at least check it out.

Lee: Clementine, what do you think?

Clementine: Lee...I'm very hungry.

Lee: Alright. Looks like we're going to a dairy.


 * -|Okay, we'll go to the dairy.=

Lee: You've got a deal. We'll bring SOME gas to your dairy. In exchange, you give us some food to bring back. We'll see how it goes from there.

You decided everyone should go.

Andy: Sounds fair. A couple of gallons should power one of our generators for a while.

Forest
Andy, Danny, Mark, and Ben walk through the forest, with Lee and Carley/Doug following a little ways behind them.

Mark: So, this dairy...you guys really have food?

Andy: Sure do. We lost most of the cattle, but we still have lots of milk, butter, and cheese stocked up.

Danny: And with the vegetables we grow, we got plenty of food.

(Saved Doug)=

Lee: Thanks for coming along, Doug.

Doug: Sure. I'd like to look at that electric fence they talked about. It might give me some ideas for something I can rig up at the motor inn.

Lee: Can an electric fence really stop walkers?

Doug: As long as the walkers aren't completely dehydrated, and the fence has enough juice, yeah, seems plausible. The electricity basically cooks you from the inside out, right?

Lee: I guess so...

Doug: So if a walker stays in contact with the fence, it'll eventually cook its brain. Probably takes a while, though...and that can't be a good smell... Unless it smells like jerky... Man, I could go for some jerky.

Doug is holding an object in his hand.

Lee: What's that you've got there?

Doug: Oh. Nothing. Just a laser pointer I picked up during our last trip to the drugstore.

Doug puts the laser pointer in his pocket.


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Carley: It's nice to get away from that motel for a while. This Lilly/Kenny thing is starting to get ridiculous. Personally, I'd be happier if you started to take charge more.

Lee: Well...not everyone thinks I'm so trustworthy.

Carley: Because of your past? Does anyone else know?

Carley: What exactly DID happen with the senator?

Lee: Sometimes I wonder if I should talk to the group about it...

Carley: You don't have to. Whatever happened before things went to hell doesn't matter anymore.

Lee: Not sure everyone would see it that way.

Carley: Maybe you're right... Listen, over the years I've reported on some pretty messed up shit. I've seen situations like yours a hundred times, it doesn't have to make you a bad man...

Lee: I really appreciate that.

Lee and Carley/Doug have caught up with the group ahead of them.

Mark: I mean, thank God Lee showed up when he did! Right, Lee?

Andy: Yeah, why don't you tell us a little more about yourself, Lee?

Danny: Where are ya from?

I grew up in Macon.=

Lee: I grew up in Macon.

Andy will remember that.

Andy: Right here in the heart of Georgia, that's what I like to hear!


 * -|The motor inn is my home now.=

Lee: The motor inn is my home now, I guess.

Andy will remember that.

Andy: Hm. That place has seen better days, huh?


 * -|I move around a lot.=

Lee: I move around a lot. Hard to call any place home, I guess.

Andy will remember that.

Danny: I used to move around a bit myself, but the dairy will always be home to me.



Andy: Something tells me you're a local boy. You can always just kinda tell, ya know?

Andy: Y'all seem pretty settled in at that motor inn. Who's running things over there?

Lilly.=

Lee: Lilly. She runs a pretty tight ship. Her and her dad are ex-military.

The St. John brothers took note of that.

Mark: Yeah, she knows her shit, but she needs to know when to back off sometimes.


 * -|Kenny.=

TBC


 * -|I am.=

Lee: I am. If you guys have any questions, you come to me.

The St. John brothers took note of that.


 * -|It's a democracy.=

Lee: We work as a group, all of us looking out for each other.

The St. John brothers took note of that.

Andy: I hear that! There are so many dumbasses out there fighting each other these days...it's just stupid.



The brothers exchange glances.

The St. John brothers noticed your silence.

Danny: How many people ya got over there anyway?

Nine. Including the kids.=

Lee: Nine. Including the kids.

You answered honestly.


 * -|Enough to defend ourselves.=

Lee: Enough to defend ourselves.

You let them know you are prepared to defend yourselves.

Andy: Well, that's good! It's getting dangerous out there, well, you guys know.


 * -|[Change the Subject]=

Lee: Well, the kid here is our newest arrival, but we're all looking forward to some food. We really need it.

You avoided answering the question.

Andy: Well, here's to helping each other out!



Mark: We've got a lot of hungry folks back there who really appreciate your food offer.

Andy: Well, here's to helping each other out!

Andy: Well, we'd love to get ya ALL out to the dairy. Like I said, we got plenty of food, and quite frankly, we could always use an extra helping hand.

Ben: In the summers, I used to help out on a goat farm.

Danny: Yeah, that's great. Everything helps!

Andy: Momma's been running the dairy for as long as I can remember, but now it's gettin'--

Nearby, a conversation is heard.

Bandit 1: You think you're gonna cut me outta this?

Andy: Shit! Get down!

Everyone crouches down and moves forward to see the argument, Mark and determinately Carley drawing their weapons.

Bandit 2: No one is trying to cut you outta anything!

Bandit 1: You and Gary are always pulling this shit! Don't think I haven't noticed!

Danny: Fuckin' bandits.

Mark: Who?

Ben: Those look like the people who raided my camp.

Bandit 2: Calm down, your paranoia is pissing everyone off!

Lee: Who are they?

Andy: Shh. Fucking assholes is who they are.

Bandit 1: Fuck you! You knew we were hungry! And you guys were keeping it all to yourselves!

(Saved Doug)=

Doug: What should we do?


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Carley: There's only two of them.

Andy: Oh, no, there's a lot more.

Bandit 2: Yeah, and you know what, we ate it all! What are you gonna fucking do about it?

Andy: Don't worry. Danny and I got ya covered if something happens, but let's just wait this out and hope they move on.

Bandit 1: FUCK YOU!

Bandit 1 kicks the other bandit and then shoots him in the head. Ben gasps. Bandit 1 shoots the dead body a few more times.

Bandit 1: FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!

(Saved Doug)=

Doug: Oh, shit!


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Carley: Jesus!

Bandit 1: Asshole.

The bandit walks away.

Andy: The world out here has gone to shit. Come on, let's get to the dairy where it's safe.

Everyone gets up and walks away.

Dairy Farm
They arrive at the farm, Andy and Lee carrying full gas cans.

Andy: Here it is. St. John's family dairy. (gestures to electric fence) Y'all can see how we've kept this place so safe.

If Doug was saved, he will kneel down and inspect the fence before moving on.

Mark: The fence keeps them out?

Andy: You betcha. They fry like bugs in a zapper. We're pushing 4,000 volts through that thing, with generators and amps.

(Saved Doug)=

Doug: Oh, wow, you guys must know a thing or two about running wire.

Danny: Had a guy who did, yeah.


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Carley: I'm going to assume that's a lot...

A woman watches through the window as they approach the gate.

Ever have any accidents?=

Lee: Ever have any accidents?

Danny: Nah.

Andy: It's safer here than out there.


 * -|This is a brilliant set up.=

Lee: This is a really brilliant setup.

Andy: Suits us just fine.


 * -|We can't have the kids around the fence.=

Lee: We've got kids in our group, doesn't seem safe to have them near a lethal fence.

Andy: Oh, don't worry about that. We got plenty to keep 'em entertained.



Andy: And, uh, we're gonna assume that your friend here, uh, Lee, is SILENTLY impressed.

(Saved Doug)=

Doug: Oh, wow! You've got enough electricity to run the whole place!


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Carley: This place looks untouched! You'd never know the rest of the world is in ruins.

Andy: It's worth protecting, hence all the juice.

Brenda, holding a basket, walks down the steps toward the group.

Brenda: I thought I saw y'all with company comin' down the drive!

Andy: Guys, this is our mama.

Brenda: I'm Brenda St. John, and welcome to the St. John Dairy!

Andy: (gestures to Lee) This here's Lee.

(Said he grew up in Macon)=

Andy: He's from Macon.

Brenda: A couple of our old farm hands were from Macon. They grow 'em good there.


 * -|(Said the motel was his home)=

Andy: He been livin' down at the old motel 'round the way.


 * -|(Said he moved around)=

Andy: He moves around a lot, but with things the way they are, maybe we can convince him to stick around for a while.


 * -|(Said nothing)=

Andy: He, uh...ya never did say where you were from.

Lee: You were right. I'm a local boy.

Danny: They got a few more friends staying at the old motel.

Brenda: Oh, my goodness, that place is pretty vulnerable. Have you got someone with survival experience to lead your group?

I've got things under control.=

Lee: I've got things under control over there.

Brenda: Well, I hope you know what you're doing. That place isn't safe like it is here.


 * -|Kenny's working on getting us somewhere safer.=

TBC


 * -|Lilly keeps us focused on survival.=

Lee: Lilly. She's tough as nails and keeps us focused on what it takes to survive.

Mark: Lilly was in the military, like me.

Brenda: Well, that's good to hear. That motel ain't the safest place.


 * -|We work together.=

Lee: We all work together. Plus, we've got plenty of people with military experience.

Brenda: Well, that's good to hear. That motel ain't the safest place.



Lee says nothing.

(Responded differently than when Andy asked about the leader)=

Andy: Hold on. I thought you said someone else was running things?

Lee: Oh, yeah, I thought she was asking about survival tactics...

Brenda: Well, it don't matter. You're here now. We'll make sure you're safe and comfortable.


 * -|(Responded the same)=

Brenda: Now that y'all are here, we'll make sure you're safe and comfortable.

Does that offer apply to the rest of us?=

Lee: Does that offer apply to the rest of us?


 * -|We brought gasoline.=

Lee: Thanks for having us. We brought some gasoline on good faith.


 * -|We're awful hungry.=

Lee: We're awful hungry.



Brenda: These are for y'all. Baked fresh this morning.

Brenda raises the basket, which is filled with bread.

(Saved Doug)=

Doug: Holy moly!

Everyone turns to Doug as chewing sounds are heard. Doug is holding the basket and eating the food. He pauses at being caught.

Doug: Sorry.


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Carley: Amazing!

Danny: Can't get stuff like that anymore, not without a cow for milk and butter, that's for sure.

Brenda: That's right. Hopefully Maybelle will make it through this bout of whatever she's got and be with us for a good, long while.

Lee: Your cow is sick? What's she--

Mark: We have a vet! We could bring her here! We can help you folks out.

Brenda: A vet? Oh, my! Our prayers have been answered!

Mark: Maybe our whole GROUP could come...for the day...

Brenda: Well, how about this, y'all go get your veterinary friend, and I prepare some dinner. A BIG feast for all you hungry souls. It'll be nice to have some folks to help out around here again. Danny, why don't you come help me out in the kitchen?

Brenda and Danny leave.

(Saved Doug)=

Doug: Why don't I head back with the food and round up everyone for the trip back here?


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Carley: Why don't I head back with the food and round up everyone for the trip over here?

Andy: You might wanna take someone with you. Remember, those roads can be dangerous.

(Saved Doug)=

Doug: No problem. Ben can come with me.

Mark: Take this.

Mark hands Doug his rifle.

Doug: Alright! See ya later!


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Carley: I can handle myself.

Mark: Take this.

Mark hands Carley his rifle.

Mark: Why don't you go ahead and take Ben along anyway?

Carley: Take care of yourself, Lee. See ya in a while.

Ben and Carley/Doug leave.

Andy: Mark, Lee, why don't ya take a look around? Once ya get settled in, I could use some help securin' the perimeter.

Lee: Is there a problem?

Andy: Sometimes, the dead get tangled up in the fence before they fry and end up knocking over a post. It'd be a BIG help if you could walk the perimeter. You can learn a li'l something about our fence. I'm gonna go top off the generators before they run dry. Come get me when you're ready.

Mark: You betcha.

Andy leaves.

Mark: This place is INCREDIBLE! It's got food! And that fence...oh, man, that fence! If we play our cards right, this might turn out to be a place we can stay. So how do you want to play this?

We should do whatever we can to help out!=

Lee: They're offering us food, we should do whatever we can to make these people like us.

Mark: The way Brenda was talking, I get the feeling like she'd be happy to have us stay.

Lee: All the more reason for us NOT to fuck this up. If Andy needs some help securing the perimeter, then that's what we do.


 * -|Let's make sure the place is safe.=

Lee: Before we can think about bringing our whole group here to stay, we need to figure out if this place is as safe as they're telling us.

Mark: Right. Obviously, THEY think it's safe, but is it safe enough for the kids? I noticed a broken swing over there. Not a big deal, but maybe there's other things not working that we just can't see yet.

Lee: And checking the fence perimeter sounds like a decent way to get a good look at their defenses.

Mark: Alright, I'll keep my eyes open and you find out what you can from Andy.

Mark walks away. Lee enters the gate.

Optional interactions=

Talk to Brenda

Lee opens the screen door and knocks on the other door. Brenda opens the door.

Brenda: Well, hi there, Lee! What can I do for ya, sweetie!

Lee: Can I help you with anything around the house?

Brenda: I think with Danny's help I've got things pretty well squared away in the kitchen, but feel free to check with Andy. He's got a lot of weight on his shoulders these days so I'm sure he'd love any help he can get.

The place looks amazing.=

Lee: Your family has done an amazing job of keeping this place up.

Brenda: Well, now, aren't you sweet, thank you, Lee. The boys and I have tried to adapt as best we can, but we still keep some of our old routines to help remind us of better times.


 * -|How many rooms in this house?=

Lee: How many rooms does this house have?

Brenda: Rooms? Why do you ask?


 * -|When will dinner be ready?=

Lee: When will dinner be ready?

Brenda: It'll be a while still, but it'll be worth it, trust me!


 * -|Exit=

Lee: Well, if anything comes up that I can help with, feel free to let me know.

Brenda: Well, Lee, I sure appreciate it.

Lee: No problem.

Lee and Brenda close the doors.

Lee opens the gate to the house and walks up the steps to the porch.

Talk to Andy

Andy gets up from where he's crouching in front of the generator.

Andy: Hi.

Lee: Hi...

Andy: I'm glad you guys decided to help us out. I noticed back at the motel that you folks are pretty well-armed. You been stockpiling, huh?

We can help protect the dairy.=

Lee: Yeah, if you need some extra people to protect the dairy, you can count on us.

Andy appreciates your offer of help.

Andy: Well, hopefully, it'll never come to that, but, thanks.


 * -|How many weapons do YOU have?=

Lee: We've scraped together a good supply in the last few months. How about yourselves? What kind of protection do you have around here?

Andy: We've collected a few guns to protect ourselves, but we really only use 'em when we go off the property. When we're inside the perimeter, the fence is all we need to keep us safe.

You learned they have several guns.


 * -|No one fucks with us.=

Lee: Yeah. If anyone tries to fuck with us, they'll regret it!

He will remember that.

Andy: Well, protecting your people is important, but in my experience, having that many guns around is when people get dangerous.



Lee shrugs.

Let's go fix the perimeter=

Lee: Mark and I can help you with that perimeter, now.

Mark walks over.

Andy: Oh, good. The fence'll stop a walker in about three or four seconds, but gets overloaded if we leave the husks out there.

Lee: You know, Mark and I can clear the fence ourselves if you wanna stay here and finish up with the generators.

Andy: Well, that'd be great! I'll turn off the northwest section, and if you guys could strip 'em off and look for any weak points, that'd be a big help.

Lee: Sounds easy enough.

Andy: Stay attentive, ya never know.

Lee nods and he and Mark walk away.


 * -|The fence stops the walkers?=

Lee: An electric fence is enough to keep out walkers?

Andy: Walkers? Is that what you call them? That's good. The old one wouldn't have, but Mac--he was our foreman--he figured out how to amp it up with the generators. We used to sit out here some nights and watch the sons o' bitches sizzle and pop when they got too close. Closest thing to entertainment these days, I guess.

Lee: These generators are enough to power the whole dairy?

Andy: We got lots. And we gotta keep trading for fuel as much as we can. But they all work together to do the trick. Like us.


 * -|Are we your first guests?=

Lee: We can't be the first people you've invited up to the dairy.

Andy: Well, no. We've made similar deals with other folks, trading for gas and food, but ultimately they moved on, looking for the people they lost contact with.

You found out that other survivors have stayed at the farm.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: I'm gonna get to know the place for a minute.

Andy: Okay, well, we gotta secure the perimeter so don't take too long!

Talk to Mark

Mark stands near the gate.

(Said they should make sure it's safe)=

Mark: So, what have you found out? Is this looking like a good place to stay?


 * -|(Said they should get the St. Johns to like them)=

Mark: So what's your read on Andy so far? Think they'd be open to letting us stay?

After Lee tells Andy they're ready to fix the perimeter, Lee and Mark walk along the northwest part of the fence.

(Said they should make sure it's safe)=

Mark: So how's the place looking? Is it safe enough for us to stay...if we can?

Lee: Yeah, it's pretty amazing what they've done with this dairy. But let's see what it takes to secure this fence before drawing any conclusions.


 * -|(Said they should get the St. Johns to like them)=

Mark: Do you think we're doing enough to get the St. Johns to like us?

Lee: Well, we don't wanna seem over-anxious. Showing them we can handle this fence is gonna go a a long way.

Mark: I can't wait until everyone's out here. Everyone besides Larry...

(Said Larry was dangerous)=

Lee: What's up with you telling him what I said about him thinking I'm dangerous?

Mark: Look, you said it.


 * -|(Said Larry was racist)=

Lee: Why the hell did you have to tell him I thought he's a racist? As if tensions weren't high enough!

Mark: Sorry, man! It just...it popped out!


 * -|(Said Larry was looking out for Lilly)/(Said nothing)=

Lee: He wouldn't be such a pain in the ass if you weren't telling him we were talking behind his back all the time.

Mark: I--I'm sorry, alright?


 * -|(Said he had no idea what Larry's problem is)=

TBC

He's a piece of shit.=

Lee: That guy's a piece of shit anyway.

Mark: Relax. You're not making things any better riling him up.


 * -|We'll work it out somehow.=

Lee: We'll work it out somehow.

Mark: Well, hopefully he'll calm down once he's out here.


 * -|I try to be civil at least.=

Lee: I try to be civil, at least.

Mark: He's too busy being cranky to notice.



Mark: Well, maybe a good meal will chill him out a little.

A crow takes a chunk of flesh from a dead zombie stuck on the fence with an arrow in its neck.

Mark: There's one. Eughh.

Lee nudges the walker's shin with his foot.

Mark: Lee, it's dead.

Lee: Come on, let's push it off.

Optional interactions=

The arrow has gone through the walker's neck and into a fence post, so Lee pulls the arrow out of the corpse.

Lee: Disgusting.

Lee uses his axe to push the zombie off the fence.

Lee: Come on, I'm sure there's still a few more.

They continue walking along.

Mark: Once this fence is patched up, this place'll be a fortress! God, can you imagine not having to worry about the walkers anymore?

It's useless without gas.=

Lee: It's useless without gas. We might need food, but the St. Johns need gas too.

Mark: Not many drivers these days, Lee. We could scrounge up a year's worth of gas, easy.

He noticed your ambivalence.


 * -|A fortress needs people to defend it.=

Lee: A fortress needs people to defend it.

Mark: We've got enough people.

He noticed your ambivalence.


 * -|It's dangerous.=

Lee: It's dangerous.

Mark: True, but it's also dangerous to the walkers.

He noticed your ambivalence.



Lee shrugs.

Mark: So, what's your take on the brothers? They seem to have this place tied down pretty well.

What do you mean?=

Lee: What do you mean by that?

Mark: I don't know. They seem decent enough. I just want you to know that I've got your back if anything goes down. That's all.

Lee: Thanks.


 * -|They're delaying the inevitable.=

Lee: These folks are just delaying the inevitable. This place is gonna fall apart, just like everywhere else.

Mark picked up on your doubt.

Mark: (sighs) Maybe you're right.


 * -|We can take this place if we have to.=

Lee: We've got enough people to take this place by force, if we have to.

Mark: Sheesh, Lee. You sound like Kenny.



Mark: Well, they seem decent enough. I just want you to know that I've got your back if anything goes down.

He noticed your silence.

Lee: There's another one.

Mark: I see it.

Mark and Lee approach another zombie caught in the fence. Lee pushes it away with his axe, but its hands remain caught on the fence.

Optional interaction: Look at hand=

Lee: Man, the fence burnt right into its hands. I think they fused together.

Lee severs the zombie's wrists, and its body falls while its hands remain fused to the fence.

Mark: You never get used to the smell, do ya?

Lee: (chuckles) Nope.

They continue walking.

Mark: Christ, I can't stop thinking about dinner.

(Fed Mark)=

Mark: Thanks for the rations earlier. It's not easy eating in front of the kids, but it's all that's keeping me on my feet right now.


 * -|(Didn't feed Mark)=

Mark: Woulda been nice to get some of those rations. I get hungry too, ya know.

Focus on the task.=

Lee: Just try to focus on the task.

Mark: They knew what they were doing, teasing us with food and then giving us chores!

Lee: Having a good meal will be worth it.


 * -|We'll go ask for more to eat after.=

Lee: We'll go ask for more to eat after this is done.

Mark: Alright, I can suck it up.


 * -|I'm hungry, too.=

Lee: I'm hungry too, Mark.

Mark: Do you think they're gonna be good for it? Dinner for a whole group of people?

Lee: If they've got as much food as they say, I think so.



Mark: Let's just get this done. Maybe Brenda has some more bread in the house.

A section of fence has fallen down with a walker tangled in it. Nearby, outside the fence, is a silo and tractor.

Mark: Come on, I think I see where they're getting in. This one must've knocked it over trying to get through. He's tangled up in there pretty good. Come on, help me get this thing back in place so we can get Mr. Crispy off of here.

Lee: I think we'd get better leverage from the other side.

Mark: Good idea.

Mark jumps over the fallen fence to the other side. He crouches down and holds onto one of the fenceposts.

Optional interaction: look at zombie=

Mark: Little help here, Lee?

Lee steps over the fence and holds the other fencepost. He and Mark push the fence back up. Just as they let go, the electric fence turns on.

Mark: Holy fuck! What just happened?

Lee: The fences are on!

Mark: Why the hell would he turn the fence on?! He knows we're out here!

An arrow pierces Mark's shoulder and he cries out in pain, grabbing his shoulder. Arrows continue flying at Mark and Lee.

Bandit: I told you what would happen, you son of a bitch!

Mark: What the--?

Lee: Get to the gate!

Mark and Lee try to run along the fence to reach the gate, but arrows are fired in front of their path, narrowly missing them. Lee looks over at the tractor.

Lee: Get down!

Bandit: You assholes!

Mark: JESUS!

Mark and Lee take cover behind the tractor. Lee peeks over, ducking as an arrow flies at him.

Bandit: We had an agreement! Now you're fucked!

Mark: Who the fuck is that?!

Lee: No idea!

Mark: Fuck! Now what?!

Lee: With the fence on, that gate is our only way out!

Bandits' comments=

Bandit: I'll fuck you sumbitches up!

Bandit: Give us the food!

Bandit: I already got one of ya!

Bandit: Behind the tractor!

Bandit: Show yourself!

Bandit: Try to lure 'em into the open!

Bandit: Get closer!

Bandit: Can't hide forever!

Bandit: I gotcha now!

Bandit: I see 'em!

Bandit: Damn it!

Bandit: What about our arrangement?!

Bandit: You fucked with us, now we'll take what we want!

Bandit: Don't think I can't see you!

Bandit: Over there!

Bandit: Did you really think you could fuck with us?

Bandit: Where's our food, you assholes?

Bandit: I can do this ALL day!

Bandit: You assholes deserve to die!

Bandit: It ain't right, we had a deal!

Bandit: Come on out!

Bandit: You didn't deliver the goods! Now we're gonna take what's owed!

Bandit: You got lucky that time!

Bandit: There you are, boy!


 * -|Mark's comments=

Mark: Lee, hurry up!

Optional interactions=

Lee pulls the plow lever, which raises the spikes stuck into the dirt. Lee quickly takes cover again as the bandits fire an arrow at him. Lee takes away the chock blocking the front wheel, and the tractor starts rolling forward; Lee and Mark move along with it.

Lee: Come on, if we can reach the gate, we can get through this fence and back to the house.

Bandit: Over there!

Mark: Aghh! Shit, that hurts!

Bandit: They're on the move!

The tractor stops as it runs into a dead walker.

Mark: What happened?

Lee: Shit. It's one of the dead we pushed down earlier. I'm gonna have to move it.

Lee pulls the zombie out of the tractor's path; it continues to roll along as Mark and Lee follow it.

Bandit: Where do you think you're going?!

The tractor rolls into another walker body.

Mark: Another one? How many of those things did we push down?

Lee grabs onto one of the zombie's arms and tries to pull him away, but the walker is still alive. It grabs onto Lee's hand with both hands and pulls him toward itself.

Lee: Shit!

Lee stomps on the zombie's head twice, then pulls backward until the top half of its body is torn from its legs. Lee drags and throws it aside. They continue moving along with the tractor, the zombie still crawling along behind them.

Mark: You okay?

Lee: Yeah. Barely.

Mark: Come on, the gate's right there!

The tractor stops in front of the silo, and the zombie chasing them gets shot in the eye with an arrow.

Bandit: They're getting away!

Lee: Let's get outta here!

Lee kicks open the gate and he and Mark run away.

Bandit: You lucky sons of bitches! Go ahead and run! We ain't goin' nowhere!

Lee and Mark run back to the house, and Andy runs toward them. Danny stands on the porch.

Andy: Lee, what's wrong?

The electric fence came on!=

Lee: The electric fence came on! Some people started attacking from the woods and we got trapped between them and the fence!


 * -|It was a goddamn ambush!=

Lee: It was a goddamn ambush out there!


 * -|I thought this place was safe!=

Lee: I thought this place was safe!



Lee shakes his head.

Danny runs up to the group.

Danny: Holy shit! Are you okay?

(Said the electric fence came on)=

Andy: I...I heard Mark yell and thought y'all were giving me the all clear! Man, I am real sorry.


 * -|(Said it was an ambush)=

Andy: Bandits?! Here?! On our property?!


 * -|(Said he thought the place was safe)=

Andy: Fucking bandits! They have no right being out here on our property!


 * -|(Said nothing)=

(No extra dialogue.)

Brenda is standing on the porch.

Brenda: Oh, my Lord! What happened to you, sweetheart?!

Andy: It was those bastards in the woods, Mama...

Mark: Yeah... I'll be alright once it's out, but, goddamn, it hurts!

The rest of the motel group approaches the others. Kenny waves.

Kenny: Hey, y'all!

Katjaa: Mark! Oh, my god, what happened?!

Lee: He got shot with an arrow.

Lilly: Christ! Are you gonna be okay?

Mark: Yeah, I'm fine. I should just...pull it out...

Brenda goes over to Mark.

Brenda: Oh, no, honey, c'mon, Brenda's got you. C'mon inside now. We'll have you all sorted out.

Brenda, Katjaa, and Mark walk toward the house.

Brenda: Well, you must be the veterinarian....

Larry: What kind of shit is this?

Lee: We ran into some people on the way up here...bandits, I guess. I think it was them that attacked us.

Andy: They gave us a lot of problems in the beginning, killed a bunch of our farmhands. We were able to get 'em to stop by makin' a deal.

Kenny: You KNEW about these people?

Danny: Food for protection. Not like we had much of a choice, but they did stop hasslin' us.

(Voted against going to the dairy)=

Lilly: Christ, maybe you were right about this place, Lee.


 * -|(Agreed to go to the dairy)=

Larry: Goddamn it!

(Saved Doug)=

Larry: Doug said this place was safe!


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Larry: Carley said this place was locked down tight!

It isn't as safe here as we thought.=

Lee: Maybe it isn't as safe here as we thought.

Andy: We're sorry! We've never had them screw with us like this! Not since we started givin' 'em food!


 * -|It was a fluke.=

Lee: It was just a fluke thing...we can't stop assuming there aren't bad people out there.

Lilly: What the hell do you mean "a fluke"?!

Lee: It could've happened anywhere. It could've happened to us in the motor inn.


 * -|So much for your "understanding."=

Lee: So much for your "deal".

Andy: Those shitheads broke the agreement! I'm sorry, Lee. If I had any inklin' they were gonna give you guys trouble, we woulda gone out there with you!



Kenny: Jesus, Lee! Say something!

Andy: Listen, we may have had an agreement with those people, but we will NOT stand for this shit.

Danny: Ain't no way we're gonna let those sons o' bitches get away with this!

Kenny: You know where these assholes are?

Danny: They're hard to pin down, but I think I know where at least ONE of their camps are. When you're ready to go scope out that bandit camp, come find us.

Andy and Danny walk away.

Lilly: Bandits? Are you serious? This place isn't safe, we can't stay here.

Kenny: Not safe?! This place is a hell of a lot safer than that motor inn! I think all of us and our guns can handle a couple of punks with bows and arrows! What we need to do is find a way to get our whole group out here to stay. Take this place over if we have to.

Larry: Whoa! Cool your jets there, Rambo. These are nice people. Let's not do anything to get us thrown out before we eat!

Lee: I'm gonna head out and help Dan deal with these bandits. You guys should try to make friends with Andy and Brenda while I'm gone.

Larry: Well, that's easy. I got charm coming outta my ass.

Lilly: Yeah, that's...real charming, Dad.

(Saved Doug)=

Lee: Where's Ben and Doug?

Lilly: Since Doug ATE half the biscuits on the way to get us, I had them stay back. I still don't think we should be trying to stay here, and someone's gotta watch the motor inn until we get back.


 * -|(Saved Carley)=

Lee: Where's Ben and Carley?

Lilly: Since Carley and Ben ate some of the food on the way back to get us, she volunteered to stay behind and watch the motor inn until we get back.

Andy and Danny are talking to each other. They turn around and go back to the group.

(Fixed swing)=

Andy: Hey, kids, look what Lee got working for ya!

Clementine: A swing! I love swings! Just like at my treehouse! Come on, Duck! Thanks, Lee! You're the best!

Duck: Yeah!


 * -|(Didn't fix swing)=

Andy: Hey, I remembered seeing kids in your group, so I went ahead and fixed that swing while you were out. Hope you kids like swings!

Clementine: A swing! I love swings! Just like at my treehouse! Come on, Duck!

Kenny: Why don't you kids go and play on the swing, huh?

Duck: Yeah!

Lee: Thanks.

Andy: Anytime. We're looking out for ya!

Kenny and the kids walk away. Duck sits on the swing and Kenny pushes him. Everyone else disperses.

Optional interactions=

Talk to Clementine

Lee: Hey, Clem, do you like the swing?

Clementine: Yeah! It's fun!

(Fixed swing)=

Clementine: Thanks for fixing it!

Lee: You're welcome.


 * -|(Didn't fix swing)=

Lee: Be sure to tell Andy "thank you", okay?

Clementine: I will!

Clementine: Will you push me on it?

Sure.=

Lee: Sure, happy to push you on the swing. (to Kenny) Mind if Clementine takes a turn?

Kenny: Alright, Duck, let Clementine have a try for a bit.

Duck: Okay.

Duck jumps off the swing and sits on a nearby tree stump with Kenny standing beside him. Clementine sits on the swing while Lee pushes her.


 * -|Maybe later.=

Lee: Maybe later, okay?

Clementine: Oh. Okay.

We're safe here.=

Lee: Don't worry, we're safe here now.

Clementine: As long as the bad people don't get me too, right?

Lee: I won't let what happened to Mark happen to you.

Clementine: Promise?

Lee: I promise.


 * -|How are you doing?=

Lee: How are you holding up, Clementine?

Clementine: I'm okay, I guess. Are you okay?

Lee: Yeah. I'm just a little worried about Mark.

Clementine: Is Mark going to be okay?

Lee: He got lucky out there. Could have been a lot worse.

Clementine: Are you going to find the people who hurt Mark?

Lee: We have to make sure they don't hurt anyone else.

Clementine: Be careful. I want you to stay lucky, too.

Lee: Ever since I've met you I've had good luck, so don't worry.

Clementine: Okay.


 * -|What do you think of the dairy?=

Lee: What do you think of the dairy?

Clementine: It's pretty. It reminds me of how things used to look before.

Lee: Yeah, it does.

Clementine: Do you think things will ever get back to how they were?


 * -|Exit=

Talk to Kenny

Lee: Hey.

(Said they should make sure it's safe)=

Kenny: Hey, Lee, found anything interesting?


 * -|(Said they should get the St. Johns to like them)=

Kenny: Hey, Lee, how's it going with the St. Johns?

How you holding up?=

Lee: How you holding up?

Kenny: I hope they feed us, Lee. Soon. On the way over here, I was gettin' dizzy, hands shakin', cold sweats. Thought I was gonna pass out.

Lee: They've got food here.

Kenny: Yeah, but I'm not just talking about one meal, ya know?


 * -|Your family made it here okay?=

Lee: Did Duck and Katjaa get here okay?

Kenny: Well, it wasn't easy. Duck didn't look so good on the walk over to this place.

Lee: If everything works out, maybe he and Katjaa can have an easier life here.


 * -|Lilly doesn't want to be here.=

Lee: I guess Lilly isn't too thrilled about being here.

Kenny: I could give two shits about what Lilly wants. Duck and Katjaa need food, and I'm not about to sit around that motor inn and watch 'em go hungry. You're with me on this, right?


 * -|Exit=

Lee: I'm gonna go have a look around.

Kenny: Don't wait too long to help scope out that bandit camp.

Lee goes through the gate in front of the barn and approaches the gazebo, where Lilly and Larry are.

Talk to Lilly

First conversation=

Lilly: Lee, oh, my god, I'm so glad you two didn't get killed out there. Do you think Mark will be okay?

Lee: Wish I knew. But I think he's in good hands now.

Lilly: Yeah? It's not too bad?

Larry: He'll be fine. I've seen guys go through worse.

Lilly: How could you all bring us to this place?


 * -|After first conversation=

Lee: Hey.

I take it you and Kenny haven't made up.=

Lee: I take it you and Kenny didn't exactly make up on the way here.

Lilly: I tried seeing things from his point of view, having a wife and kid and everything. But gambling with your family's life is pretty stupid, if you ask me.


 * -|How do you feel about leaving the motor inn?=

Lee: How do you feel about leaving the motor inn?

Larry: It's a welcome change of scenery.

Lilly: I don't know. If we'd just stayed where we were, then Mark wouldn't have ended up with an arrow in his shoulder.


 * -|About your dad...=

Lee: Hey, ah, can I talk to you in private for a second?

Lilly: Okay.

Lee and Lilly step outside the gazebo.

Lee: It's been three months, your dad still treats me like I'm some kinda asshole.

Lilly: Yeah, well, don't expect that to change. That's just how he is.

Lilly: Look. My dad can be an ass sometimes, I know that. But he's not a bad guy. He just... He's got a lot of pain. He's been through so much. And lost...pretty much everything. And it's hardened him, ya know? Yeah, he's bitter and hateful, but that's all just to protect himself. And me. All he's got left in the world is me. And that goes both ways. So, yeah, he's probably gonna keep treating you like crap, but that's just because he still has one thing left to care about. So don't judge him. And don't judge me for sticking by him. He's my dad, and I love him.

They return to the gazebo.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: I'm gonna go check things out.

Lilly: Just don't get too nosy. These kinds of people are usually pretty protective of their privacy.

Larry: Yeah, and we don't need you pokin' your nose where it don't belong and getting us thrown out on our asses.

Lee opens the gate to the house and walks up the stairs to where the two St. John brothers are standing.

First conversation=

Lee: Fellas.

Andy: How ya feelin', Lee? Look, I'm really sorry you almost got killed out there. We should've told you how dangerous it was.

Lee: No shit.

Danny: You saw what they did to your buddy. Nobody's safe here until we start to fight back.

Lee: But how?

Danny: The two of us should go out and do some recon, then we'll all mount up for some revenge.

Andy: Hell yeah.

Lee: Who the fuck are these people in the woods?

Andy: We don't know. We think some of 'em used to work at the big box up the way.

Danny: Save Lots.

Andy: Yeah. Anyway, they're nutty as all hell. And get mad when they're hungry.

Danny: So, are you ready to head out there and find their camp?


 * -|After first conversation=

Andy: Hey, Lee.

Danny: Change your mind about goin' out to track down them bandits?

Let's go.=

Lee: Yeah. It'll be a good opportunity to find out a bit more about what we're up against. Let's do it.

Andy: I'll stay here and hold down the fort.

Danny: Remember: we're just doing reconnaissance for now. No use getting ourselves killed.

Lee and Danny open the front gate, now holding rifles. Clementine runs up to Lee.

Clementine: Are you going now?

Lee: Yeah. I'll be back soon, Clementine.

Clementine: Please be lucky.

Lee: I will.

Clementine watches them walk away.


 * -|Not now.=

Lee: We'll go in a few minutes, I just need to check on a few things before we head out.

Andy: Sure, that's understandable. Talk things over with your group, just come find us when you're ready.

Lee: I'll do that.

Jolene's Camp
After Lee agrees to head out with Danny, they walk through the woods.

Danny: See anything?

Lee: Not yet.

Danny: I know it's around here. It's gotta be close.

Lee stops and kneels down, nudging an empty can of soup with his rifle. They continue walking a short ways away.

Lee: Here!

Lee stands in front of a camp.

Danny: Oh, shit! You found it?!

Lee gestures for them to move forward quietly. They sneak up on the camp and ready their weapons, prepared for a fight, but no one is there. They continue sneaking forward, and hide behind the trees.

Danny: You see anybody?

Looks empty.=

Lee: Looks empty.


 * -|Can't tell.=

Lee: Can't tell.


 * -|Stay on your guard.=

Lee: Stay on your guard.



Lee says nothing.

They enter the camp.

Danny: Watch my back, Lee. I'm gonna check out the tent.

Danny slowly approaches the tent and opens it, his rifle at the ready. He lowers his weapon after seeing that it's empty.

Danny: Clear. This camp's too small. It can't be their main base.

Lee: That's what I was thinking.

Danny: Take a look around anyway. There's probably some shit around here they stole from us.

Interactions=

Lee steps inside the tent.

Optional interactions=

Lee examines the adult's sleeping bag and finds Clementine's hat beneath it.

Lee: The hell?

Behind him, Jolene appears, pointing her crossbow at him.

Jolene: Don't you fucking move!

Danny: Shit!

Danny points his rifle at her.

Jolene: Put your guns down.

Lee puts Clementine's hat and away and steps out of the tent, pointing his weapon at her as well.

Jolene: I ain't going back. You tell 'em Jolene ain't goin' back!

Danny: Hey! We had a deal! No shooting as long as we gave you food! What the fuck happened?

Jolene: You had a deal with THEM. I ain't THEM. I know you. I know what you are, and I know what you do.

Danny: You don't know me!

Jolene: Steal my shit. Steal everything from me!

Danny: We had a deal! You people broke it first!

Who are you?=

Lee: Who the fuck are you?

Jolene laughs.

Lee: Look. It's not safe up here in the woods. You gotta come back to the dairy.

Jolene: Haha! Oh... It's a hell of a lot safer up here than down THERE, you best believe.


 * -|What happened here?=

Lee: Why are you alone up here? What happened to you?

Jolene: That's a hell of a question, mister. They told me I'd be safe with them... Men who lived here. But it weren't safe. Not for me, and not for my girl. They didn't treat her nice. Not at all. They took her away, into the woods. Wouldn't tell me where. And I begged 'em. Every way I could think. They just laughed... (laughs) So I killed 'em. And I'm staying here 'til she comes back to me. One way or another...she'll come back.


 * -|Who attacked the dairy?!=

Lee: We're looking for the people who attacked the dairy, and shot my friend.

Jolene: I don't know where they are. But they ain't here. So get the fuck outta my camp!

Danny: She's lyin', Lee.



Lee says nothing.

Jolene: Now maybe you didn't hear me last time...when I asked you sweet...put your damn guns down! You think I won't kill you? I'm gonna take this here crossbow, and put a nice sharp arrow, right through your eyeball. And into your goddamn brain. You're not men...you're monsters. All men are monsters. Take what they want, and then destroy it all. Take a can of beans, take a little girl...it's all the fucking same to you!

Screw this! [SHOOT HER]=

Lee: Screw this.

Jolene: Y'all wave them guns like you're lookin' to die. Don't need to go lookin' for death. It's already found us. Just waitin' to get turned into monsters. Some of us already are!

Lee shoots Jolene in the head.

You chose to shoot Jolene.

Danny: Shit! What the hell'd you do that for? We had a deal with them...

Danny: I mean, I know she was crazy, but...damn!


 * -|You shot Mark!=

Lee: You shot Mark, you psycho bitch!

Jolene: Who the fuck is Mark? I don't know any Mark.

Lee: You shot him at the dairy.

Jolene: Fuck I did. That them other people--they's good buddies with your boyfriend here. I guess you met 'em. Ain't they nice? You know what? I changed my mind... I'm putting this arrow right through your BALLS. Yeah! Right through. String 'em up on that tree. Then I'm gonna head down to that farm and shoot every goddamn person I see.


 * -|Where did you get Clementine's hat?!=

Lee: Where did you get this hat?

Jolene: The little girl.

Lee: You STOLE it from her.

Jolene: So what if I did? You stole her from ME!

Lee: What the hell are you talking about?

Jolene: You know what? I changed my mind... I'm putting this arrow right through your BALLS. Yeah! Right through. String 'em up on that tree. Then I'm gonna head down to that farm and shoot every goddamn person I see.



Danny: Forget it, Lee. She's batshit loco.

Jolene: The crazy lady in the woods brings fresh meat to the farm!

Danny: YOU SHUT IT! NOW!

Jolene: You know what? I changed my mind... I'm putting this arrow right through your BALLS. Yeah! Right through. String 'em up on that tree. Then I'm gonna head down to that farm and shoot every goddamn person I see.

Danny: It's a clean shot, though...right through the forehead. That's good shootin' right there. Still, what a waste.

Lee: So that's it? We going back?

Danny: If they ain't here, I don't know where they are. And it ain't a good idea to go tromping through the woods looking for 'em. So, yeah, we head back. Once they see this...they'll get the message.

Danny takes Jolene's crossbow.

Danny: C'mon.

Lee takes one last look behind him at Jolene before he and Danny head back to the farm.

Dairy Farm, Again
Lee and Danny return to the farm.

Danny: Man, that was a hell of a ride, huh?

Lee tosses his rifle to Danny.

(Shot Jolene)=

Lee: What?

Danny: You were a madman back there! Took that crazy bitch down!


 * -|(Didn't shoot Jolene)=

Lee: Jesus, Danny.

Danny: What? You ain't gettin' soft on them, are ya? Not after what they did to your friend!

Brenda stands up from her seat on the porch stairs.

Brenda: You're back! What happened?

(Shot Jolene)=

Danny: Lee took care of it!


 * -|(Didn't shoot Jolene)=

Danny: Handled it, Mama.

Danny walks off. Brenda sits down again and Lee approaches her.

Brenda: This isn't what Terry would've wanted...

Lee: Who's Terry?

Brenda: My husband. Miss him every day.

Kenny and Lilly are arguing in front of the gazebo.

Lilly: Then screw it up for everybody then, why don't you?

Kenny: Oh, calm down, princess. I'll do it myself.

Kenny walks off and Lilly returns to the gazebo.

Lee: What's going on with them?

Brenda: Dunno. Squabblin', looks like. A lotta tension with y'all, huh?

Yeah, you could say that.=

Lee: Yeah, you could say that. They don't exactly see eye to eye on how we should be doing things.

Brenda: Well, it's probably just the hunger talkin'!


 * -|Don't mind them, it's how they are.=

Lee: Don't mind them. It's how they are. Each of them wants to be in charge, you know?

Brenda: Well, it's probably just the hunger talkin'! We all get a little testy. We'll fix that shortly!


 * -|They can't agree on how to run things.=

Lee: They have different ideas about how we should run our group. If they don't find any common ground, this whole thing's gonna fall apart.

Brenda: Nah, it's just tough times. Everyone's hungry and people get a little stir-crazy when their tummy's empty.



Brenda: Well, it's probably just the hunger talkin'!

Brenda: And, Lee, don't worry your head about them bandits. I'm sorry you've seen more violence than I'd'a thought in your short time, but y'all are safe here. Don't worry.

Lee: Think I'll go have a look around.

Brenda: Don't wander too far. Dinner will be ready before you know it. And thank your friend Katjaa again for me. She and the kids are in the barn with the cow. That woman is a lifesaver!

Lee walks down the steps and Clementine waves at him from the barn before closing the door. Lee examines her hat before putting it away again.

Talk to Lilly

Lilly: Hey, so what happened at the camp! Did you guys find any more of those guys that hurt Mark?

Nothing happened.=

TBC


 * -|We found a tent.=

TBC


 * -|Danny shot someone.=

(If Lee didn't shoot Jolene.)

TBC


 * -|I shot someone.=

(If Lee shot Jolene.)

TBC



Lilly: Goddamn it, Lee, stop trying to keep us out of the loop. Coming here was a mistake, I know that. But keeping things to yourself isn't exactly going to help the situation.

TBC

Lee enters the barn, where Katjaa, Duck, Clementine, and Andy gather nearby the cow.

Katjaa: It's okay, Clementine, you can pet her.

Clementine looks to Lee.

Lee: It's okay, go ahead.

Clementine slowly approaches Maybelle and pets her.

Clementine: Whoa... Katjaa says Maybelle could have her baby tonight!

Katjaa: We'll see, Clementine.

Lee notices a salt lick nearby.

Lee: What's this thing?

Duck: Daddy said it's called a salt lick.

Clementine: Yeah, but don't lick it. It's gross.

Lee: Did you lick it?

Clementine: I don't know...

Optional interactions=

Talk to Clementine

Lee: How do you like that cow, Clem?

Clementine: She's pretty.

Lee returns Clementine's hat.

Lee: Here, Clementine.

Clementine: My hat! You found it!

Clementine takes the hat and puts it on.

Clementine: I knew you'd find it! You said you would!

Lee: Listen, did you...give your hat to anyone?

Clementine: No.

Lee: Did you see any strangers around the motor inn who might've taken it?

Clementine: No. Why?

Lee: It's probably nothing. Just let me know if you ever see anything like that.

Clementine: Okay, I will. Hey, Lee. Do you think you'll ever have kids?

I'd like to, someday.=

Lee: I'd like to, someday. Maybe a little girl like you.

Clementine: That's nice. You'd be a good daddy.


 * -|I don't think so.=

TBC


 * -|I haven't thought about it in a while.=

Lee: I don't know. I haven't thought about having kids in a long time...



Lee says nothing.

Clementine: Well, thanks for finding my hat.

Lee: You're welcome, Clem.

Clementine: Do you wanna pet the cow with me?

Lee: Nah, but you go on ahead.

Talk to Duck

Lee: Have I missed anything?

Duck: No, not really. (sniffs) Hm. It smells funny in here.

(Said Hershel's barn smelled like shit)=

Clementine: Like shit, right, Lee?

Duck looks surprised, and Katjaa glares disapprovingly.

Lee: Hey, don't use swear words, okay?

Clementine: Okay...


 * -|(Said it smelled like manure)=

TBC


 * -|(Said it smelled like "You know"/said nothing)=

Clementine: Like doody!

Duck and Clementine giggle.

Katjaa: Kids!

Talk to Andy

Lee: Hey, there, Andy.

Andy: Yeah?

How's the cow?=

Lee: How's the cow?

Andy: Well, better now we got Doc on the case.


 * -|When do you think we might eat?=

Lee: Um... When do you think, uh, we might eat?

Danny: Hungry, huh? Don't worry. Mama's cooking up some good grub.


 * -|Danny and I met a woman in the woods...=

Lee: We met this woman up in the woods. She seemed to know your brother.

Andy: Uh, yeah. He, uh, probably talks a little more than he oughta.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: Thanks.

Andy: Yup.

Lee checks out the door in the back of the barn and Kenny walks up to him.

Kenny: You found it too, huh? Lee, they're hiding something. Behind this door. I got a quick look. They got boxes of stuff. And something metal and sharp.

Lee: Don't get paranoid.

Kenny: It's my JOB to be paranoid, Lee. I got my whole family on this farm right now. How about you? What about Clem?

I'll protect her, no matter what.=

Lee: I'll protect her, no matter what.

Kenny: I know you will.


 * -|She's not actually family...=

Lee: She's not actually family.

Kenny: May as well be now, man. That girl needs you.


 * -|You're being stupid.=

TBC



Lee looks over at Clementine.

Kenny: You gotta think about that little girl now, Lee.

Kenny: Look, that guy with Katjaa... What's-his-name. He locked it up real tight the second we came in. I definitely heard a noise back there, Lee.

Lee: What?

Kenny: My point is, we gotta know for sure. So go find a hammer or something, and I'll have this thing off in a second. You back me up in case them farmers come running.

Lee: Hang on, man. Think this through. You smash the lock. Then what if it turns out you're wrong? You just fucked your chance to get a good meal in those kids you're trying to protect. Use your head, Kenny.

Kenny: Alright, professor. What'd you have in mind?

Lee: Let me have a look at what we're dealing with first.

Lee looks at one of the screws or the lock.

Kenny: Hey. Lee. You know how to pick a lock, right?

Lee: No! Why would you say that?

Kenny: Well. You're...you know...urban?

Lee: Oh, you are NOT saying what I think you're saying.

Kenny: Jesus, man! I'm from Florida! Crazy shit just comes out of my mouth sometimes. Sorry.

Lee: Hm!

Kenny: What?

Lee: See those screws? Instead of breaking the padlock, we can just take off the assembly, have a peek inside, and then replace it all again, like nothing ever happened.

Kenny: Alright. Sounds like you have a plan. I'll hang around and keep an eye on that guy with the cow.

Lee: Andy.

Kenny: Shit. I thought that was Danny. Whatever.

And approaches them.

Andy: Can I help you boys find something?

Kenny heard a noise.=

Lee: Kenny thought he heard a noise.

You made an excuse.

Andy: He's a little jumpy, eh? Well, we're all sure glad his wife is here. She's a lifesaver--you got no idea.


 * -|Just checking out the barn.=

Lee: Just checking out the barn here. Never been to a dairy farm before.

You made an excuse.

Andy: Just don't roam around without me or Danny. The farm can be a dangerous place. You know, the bandits and all. Sorry about your friend.


 * -|What's behind the door?=

Lee: What's behind this door, Andy?

You questioned Andy directly.

Andy: Just tools. We keep it locked so the people in the woods don't try and grab 'em. We'd be dead without 'em.



Kenny: Ah, no. We're fine. Just looking around...

Kenny covered for you.

Andy: No problem.

Andy: Hey, uh...do me a favor. Don't fuck around with this door, okay? Just, you know, Mama gets nervous.

Katjaa: Andrew! I need your help again.

Andy: No problem! Right away, doc!

Andy returns to his position and Kenny leans against one of the stalls.

Distract Andy to get him out of the barn.

Lee can attempt to use the door.

Andy: Hey, guys. Seriously. Don't fuck around with that. C'mon, enough already.

Talk to Andy

Lee: Hey, there, Andy.

Andy: Yeah?

You got a screwdriver?=

Lee: You got a screwdriver?

Andy: For what?

Lee: Uh...nevermind.


 * -|Danny mentioned he needed something.=

Lee: Danny mentioned he needed something.

Andy: Did he say what?

Lee: Shit, I can't remember now. Sorry.

Andy: (sighs) Alright, alright. Be right back, doc.

Andy leaves, and Lee tries to exit the door but Andy immediately returns.

Andy: False alarm. I'm back.


 * -|Why do you lock that door?=

Lee: Why do you lock that door?

Andy: 'Cause we can't afford to lose our shit to the people in the woods. They come down here every once in a while, raid our stuff. Even with the fence.


 * -|Where do you keep your tools?=

(After finding pliers.)

Lee: So... Where do you keep the rest of the tools?

Andy: If you need something, just tell me what it is, and I can get it for you.

Lee: Nah, not that important.


 * -|Exit=

Andy: Alrighty then.

Talk to Kenny

I can't get that lock off the door.=

Lee: I still can't get that lock off the door.

Kenny: Hm. You probably just need a screwdriver or something.


 * -|How do I distract Andy?=

Lee: Any thoughts on how to distract Andy?

Kenny: I don't know, man. Just look for something outside of the barn, we need him out of here.


 * -|Andy keeps coming back.=

Lee: I tried to distract Andy, but he keeps coming back.

Kenny: There's gotta be something out there you can mess with to keep him busy for a while... What about those generators?


 * -|I found a Multitool.=

(After finding pliers.)

Lee: I picked up something I think could help with the lock.


 * -|Exit=

TBC

Lee exits the barn. Larry is laughing with Brenda.

Larry: So how does a woman like yourself run this whole place?

Lilly: Oh, I manage just fine. Plus I have my boys to help out. I couldn't do it without them.

Talk to Lilly

Lilly: What's going on, Lee? Did something happen?

There's something odd with the barn.=

Lee: There may be something going on with that barn.

Lilly: I'm telling you, Lee. The longer we stay here, the more trouble we're getting ourselves into.

Lee: And what exactly do you think I'm supposed to do about it?

Lilly: If you want to go in there and start rooting through other people's shit, then get to it. But if it's up to me, we should just take our food and go.


 * -|Kenny thinks they're hiding something.=

Lee: Kenny thinks they're hiding something. I'm not sure what exactly, but we're starting to get a feeling about this place. I don't know, maybe we SHOULD go have a look in that barn.

Lilly: Whatever you do, just be careful.


 * -|Everything is fine.=

TBC



Lilly: You're keeping something to yourself, Lee. And by the time you come clean, it's gonna be too late. We need to start thinking about getting the hell out of here.

What were you and Kenny arguing over?=

Lee: What were you and Kenny arguing about when I came back from the camp?

Lilly: He's losing it, Lee. He comes over and starts talking about searching the barn and that these people are hiding something. The way I see it, we need to just skip the dinner and get our food to-go. But I'm starting to think your friend over there has another agenda.


 * -|I'm starting to think they may be hiding something.=

Lee: After what Kenny told me, I'm starting to think they may be trying to hide something.

Lilly: You two are just asking for trouble. But if you insist on wandering around, I'd be careful, Lee.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: I'm gonna go check things out.

Lilly: Watch yourself, Lee.

Talk to Danny

Danny is sitting on the tree stump near the swing and holding his rifle.

Danny: Hello.

(Shot Jolene)=

TBC


 * -|(Didn't shoot Jolene)=

Danny: Glad I got to use her today. My girl, here.

You really like that gun.=

Lee: You really like that gun.

Danny: What's not to like?

Danny noticed your suspicion.


 * -|You run this place with just one cow?=

Lee: How do you run this place with just one cow?

Danny: Used to have more. They get hungry, too. Or sick. Got your doctor friend here now, though.

Lee: You guys must trade for a LOT of fuel to keep the generators running, right?

Danny: People get hungry and a few loaves of bread fetch a high price. Y'all are lucky you're on this side of the deal now.


 * -|This place is isolated.=

Lee: You guys are pretty out in the sticks, here.

Danny: Hard to find.

Lee: You get many visitors?

Danny: Not anymore. Bandits, of course. Used to get these school kids on tours back before the dead time.


 * -|What's with the wheelbarrow?=

(After seeing the wheelbarrow in the barn.)

Lee: I saw a wheelbarrow over there, full of garbage. Some bloody clothes.

Danny will remember that.

Danny: Things happen on a dairy. Cut myself darn bad just the other day. Blood everywhere.

Lee: You seem okay.

Danny: I'm tough.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: I'm gonna go wait for supper, then.

Danny: It'll be a good one.

Talk to Brenda

Before entering barn/after first conversation=

Lee: Pardon me, Brenda...

Brenda: What's on your mind, Lee?


 * -|After entering barn=

Larry: We'll, uh... We'll finish talking later.

Larry leaves.

Lee: You been getting along with Larry?

Brenda: (laughs) He's just a big ol' sweetheart, ain't he?

Lee: Uh, don't know if I would've used those words, exactly.

Brenda: Don't judge, honey. This world is bringin' out the worst in people. But if you really look, you'll catch a glimpse of humanity every now and then.

We ran into some trouble out there.=

Lee: We ran into some trouble out there.

Brenda: I was just glad you two weren't hurt. Those bandits just don't know when to quit. But my boys...they can hold their own.


 * -|How's Mark doing in there?=

Lee: How's Mark doing in there?

Brenda: Best patient I ever had. Oh, my boys get so much as a scratch and start hollerin'. He could definitely teach them a thing or two about being tough.

Lee: I'd still like to check on him.

Brenda: You're gonna have to trust me on this, Lee. I've helped stitch my share of wounds... I know what I'm talking about.


 * -|Why are you out here instead of cooking?=

Lee: Not to be rude, ma'am, how come you're out here instead of, you know...?

Brenda: (laughs) You wanna know why I'm not slaving away in the kitchen, is that it?

Lee: No, no, I didn't mean for it to sound like that.

Brenda: It's okay, darlin'. Got it slow cookin' in the oven. Should be ready before too long!


 * -|What do you guys keep in the barn?=

(After checking out the barn door.)

Lee: So, what do y'all keep in the barn back there? Besides cows, I mean.

Brenda: Well, someone's gettin' a little curious, aren't they?

Lee: I don't mean to pry.

Brenda: It's nothin' interesting, I can promise you that much. Just some odds and ends. Takes a lot to run a farm, you know.


 * -|Exit=

Lee: Think I'll go have a look around.

Brenda: Kinda peaceful out here, ain't it? Enjoy it while you can. You'll probably start hearing those monsters fryin' against the fence before too long.

Talk to Larry

Lee: So, Larry, it looks like you're getting along with Brenda pretty well.

Larry: You know, for a nice change of pace, how about you try minding your own fucking business?

Optional interaction: look at toolbox=

Lee looks at the toolbox on the table near the saw.

Lee: It's a small toolbox.

Lee opens the box.

Optional interaction: Look at pliers=

Lee: Multi-tool. That should be handy.

Lee takes the pliers and closes the box.

Lee: Just gonna borrow this for a second.

Lee goes to the generator.

Optional interactions=

Lee uses the multitool to unscrew the panel.

Lee: There ya go.

Optional interactions=

Lee presses the power switch.

Optional interaction: remove belt with hands=

Lee: Enh! That thing is on too tight for my bare hands.

Lee uses the multitool to remove the belt.

Lee: There. That should do it.

Lee moves a short distance away while Andy goes outside to examine the generator.

Andy: Fuckin' Danny. Where did he find this piece of shit?

He opens the access panel.

Andy: Awww, fucking thing threw a BELT! Damn it to all...son of a...fuck! This'll take forever...

Lee reenters the barn, prepared to open the door. Just then, the dinner bell rings.

Duck: Mom! Dad! Dinner time! It's dinner time!

Katjaa: Okay, honey. Let's get Dad.

Duck runs up to Kenny.

Duck: Dad! Dad! C'mon, let's EEAATTTT!

Katjaa: Kenny? Come along, honey. Kenny, c'mon, don't make the children wait.

Kenny: I'll make an excuse for you... Get that thing off!

Everyone leaves the barn except for Lee.

Optional interactions=

Lee unscrews each screw with the multitool. The lock falls off and he opens the doors. Inside are various sharp tools, including buzzsaws and bear traps. There is blood smeared all over the room and bathtub. Andy appears behind Lee.

Andy: Boy. Didn't you hear the bell? Dinner time.

What the hell is this?!=

Lee: What the hell you got in that back room?!

Andy: Look. We have food here, but Danny and I still gotta do a lot of hunting to keep everyone fed. When we catch something in the woods, we skin it and dress it back there. Mama doesn't like us to make a mess in the house. So you see? Nothin' to worry about.


 * -|Why is there so much blood in there?=

Lee: Why was there so much blood in there?

Andy: Look. We have food here, but Danny and I still gotta do a lot of hunting to keep everyone fed. When we catch something in the woods, we skin it and dress it back there. Mama doesn't like us to make a mess in the house. So you see? Nothin' to worry about.


 * -|I found the door open like that.=

Lee: Look. I just came in and found the door open like that.

You lied to Andy.

Andy: Probably my idiot brother. Hey, was anyone with you just now?

Lee: No.

Andy: Not the doc?

Lee: No. She went in the house.

Andy: Oh, good... Yeah. Good.



Andy: You know... You're a strange guy, Lee. Well, anyway. We best get going. I'll fix this door later.

Lee and Andy walk back to the house.
