"we have to go about this in a smart way." rick reminds daryl.
"man, look at her!" daryl flails his hand towards where i'm sitting in the kitchen. i look elsewhere as their eyes examine the healing, broken skin on my cheek. "the saviors have to go. all of them!"
"i'm fine." i say, and truly mean it.
"yeah, you're always fine." daryl rolls his eyes.
"look, rick's right. the saviors are a group four times larger than ours, all would take a bullet for negan."
"so then just negan." daryl suggests. "kill him first and his followers after."
rick and i glance at each other and daryl notices, "what?"
"i don't think that's right either." rick shakes his head. "if we kill negan, the saviors will attack on his behalf."
"so we kill all of them at once! that's what i was saying!"
"no, not all of them. half of the saviors aren't even fighters, they just live with their families at the sanctuary for safety. we can only take out the ones who cause trouble, people like simon. plus, grey's dad is there ... and andrea."
"let's not get ahead of ourselves." i blurt. "we don't have any guns."
"we'll find some." daryl says, confidently.
"we've scavenged every inch for miles around this place. tara and heath went out the furthest and still had a hard time finding anything." i say.
"we'll find some." daryl says again, like he's sure of himself, and i think he is.
"we have hilltop as an ally, we increase our numbers, things could go smoother." rick nods.
"well then what're we waitin' for? let's head out today, get a move on it!" daryl heads for the door, but rick blocks him.
"diving head first into an all out war without a plan is a dumb idea." i hop off the bar stool. "matter of fact, it's bullshit."
"none of it's bullshit." daryl narrows his eyes at me. "i'll tell ya what's bullshit, losin' my brother. carol losin' her daughter, carl losin' his mom, maggie losin' everyone! how your dad treated you, that's bullshit! what negan did—bullshit! the whole world endin' one morning—fuckin' bullshit! what's not bullshit is doin' something that'll save one of our friends; you. if killin' negan will protect you and put an end to maggie's sufferin', tell me how that's bullshit. it's not."
