''Baby, the more you fidget, the longer it takes. -- So don't, okay?'' Maesi watched as Lori tried to cut Carl's hair, making her chuckle as she looked down at him. 

'' I'm trying.''

''Well, try harder.''

''If you think this is bad, Wait till you start shaving. That stings. That day comes, you'll be Wishing for one of your mama's haircuts.'' Maesi gave a nod.

''Daryl and Merle always took a lot longer than me in the bathroom, just to shave, while I was in there washing with two different shampoo's and brushing this hair.''

''I'll believe that when I see it.''

''I'll tell you what you just get through this with some manly dignity and tomorrow I'll teach you something special. I will teach you to catch frogs.''

''I've caught a frog before.'' 

''I said frogs plural. And it is an art, my friend.It is not to be taken lightly. There are ways and means. Few people know about it. I'm willing to share my secrets.'' When Carl turned his head to his mother, she shook her own head and turned his back to face the front.

''Oh, I'm a girl. You talk to him.''

''Hey, being a girl doens't mean you can't catch a frog, I've caught quite a lot, and last time I checked, I'm still a girl.''

''It's a one-time offer, bud not to be repeated.''

''Why do we need frogs, plural?'' 

''You ever eat frog legs?''

''Ewww.'' 

''No, yum!'' 

''No, he's right.'' 

''This time I agree with them Shane, you're on your own on this one.'' Maesi laughed at them before shaking her head, looking at Shane as his expression changed and smirked at Lori. 

''When you get down to that last can of beans, You're gonna be loving those frog legs, lady. I can see it now "Shane, do you think I could have a second helping, please? - Please? Just one?"  '' He quoted in a girl-like voice, making Maesi throw an old can of beans his way. 

''yeah, I doubt that.''

''Don't listen to her, man. You and me, we'll be heroes.We'll feed these folks Cajun-style Kermit legs.''

''I would rather eat miss piggy.'' When moth Shane and Maesi looked at her weirdly, Lori chuckled and nodded. ''Yes, that came out wrong.''

''Heroes, son, spoken of in song and legend.You and me, Shane and Carl.'' His story didn't go on as they heard a loud sound coming from the mountains. Maesi quickly climed onto the camper and grabbed her sniper, looking out into the mountains. 

''Hey, Dale, can you see what that is? Talk to me, Dale!'' 

''I can't tell yet.'' 

''Well it's a car, that much I can see, but I can't see who's in there.'' Maesi steadied her gun on the edge, ready to shoot if she needed to.

''Is it them? Are they back?''

''It's Glenn.'' Maesi walked down again, holding her hands to her ears. 

''Holy crap. Turn that damn thing off!'' 

''I don't know how!''Glenn looked at them with a huge grin on his face, but Maesi looked at him annoyed and his smile quickly disappeared.

''Pop the hood, please. Pop the damn hood, please!'' When Glenn finally did, Maesi and Shane both looked under the hood, Maesi finding the alarm and hitting it with her knife, turning off the loud sound.
