Season 1 Episode 1: “Days Gone By ”
Earlier, Rick and Shane, another deputy, are sitting in theirpolice car talking and eating.
Rick: What's the difference between men and women?
Shane: Is this a joke?
Rick: No, serious.
Shane: I never met a woman who knew how to turn off alight. They're born thinking in a switch, it only goes
one way. On. They're struck blind the second they leave a room. I mean every woman, I ever let
have a key... I swear to God. Come home, house all lit up, and my job, apparently because… because
my chromosomes happen to be different cause I then gotta walk through that house, turn off
every single light this chick left on.
Rick: Is that right?
Shane: Yeah, baby. Alright, Reverend Shane's preaching to you now,boy. [Rick smiles]
So how's it with Lori, man?
Rick: She's good. She's good at turning off lights. Really good. I don't
know why I sometimes forget.
Shane: Not what I meant.
Rick: We didn't have a great night.
Shane: Look, man, I may have a… fail to amuse with my sermon, but I
did try. The least you could do is speak.
Rick: That's what she always says: "Speak". "Speak". You'd think I was the most closed mouth you'd everhear her telling.
Shane: Do you express your thoughts? Do you share your feelings and that kind of stuff?
Rick: The thing is… lately whenever I try… everything I say makes her impatient, like she didn't want tohear it after all. It's like she's… pissed at me all the time, and I don't know why.
