Javier: "Why don't you go see Kate about your problem Clem?" Clem nods, opens a brown wooden door and steps in.

Y/N: "The sun will be rising in a few hours. Joan's people know we're holed up here, and they're gonna come looking for us. All of us."

Tripp: "Ah, for fuck's sake!" You can hear the anger in his voice. Everyone surrounds a counter beside the kitchen.

Eleanor: "Maybe it's not as bad as we think!"

Ava: "Fucking figures." Everyone argues.

Tripp: "And there's no going anywhere with those things blocking our exit."

Eleanor: "They like me! That has to help somehow." She says, meaning the new frontier people.

Tripp: "Just 'cause they like you doesn't mean they're gonna like the rest of us!"

Ava: "We're sitting ducks up here!"

Tripp: "We can't just wait around here to get shot, that's for damn sure."

Javier: "Hey, we can do this!"

Gabe: "Yeah!"

Javier: "We've gotten out of tougher jams before, haven't we?"

Tripp: "I mean, sure. But this is different."

Tripp: "We can't just cut and run--not with the herd out there. Like it or not, we're fuckin' stuck in Richmond. How the fuck are we gonna put the brakes on this thing?"

Y/N: "Joan and her people are going to be at the square, right? We need to bring the fight to them."

Tripp: "We go after Joan, our problems are solved."

Eleanor: "Great. So... How do we do that?"

Ava: "It's a good question. Joan'll probably have a full security detail with her. She'll be insulated--from us and from anybody in Richmond who doesn't agree with what she's doing."

Javier: "The best way to get rid of Joan is to get David back on top. If he's in charge again, things'll go back to the way they used to be."

Ava: "No arguments here."

Tripp: "After we take Joan out, we're gonna need some way out of this mess. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not much of a runner."

Ava: "We've got a truck--a big one--that we used to use for walker defense. It's a little busted up, but it's way better than nothing."

Tripp: "People are gonna be patrolling these streets, looking for us. How far away is this truck?"

Ava: "I'll show you."

Ava walks up to the window and looks out at the city.

Ava: "We've been expanding, pushing out further--making the safe zone even bigger. Can't promise you they've cleared all the walkers yet, but... That's where the truck's parked." A large building stands in the distance behind some walkers.

Tripp: "I could spit and hit it!"

Ava: "We steal that thing, nothing'll be able to stop us."

Kate and Clementine join the others.

Kate: "Steal what?"

Javier: "Hey!"

Kate: "Jesus, Javi! Is that blood on your shirt? You said it wasn't that bad!" She says to Clem.

Y/N: "It isn't."

Kate: "How the hell did this happen? Oh, you're bleeding right through that bandage. You should have told me as soon as you got in."
