[Rick talks to Deanna about handling Pete from beating his wife]

Deanna Monroe:
Pete's a surgeon. He's saved lives. He might be saving Tara's life.

Rick Grimes:
He's beating his wife. We have to stop him.

Deanna Monroe:
How?

Rick Grimes:
We separate them. We tell him that's how it'll be from now on.

Deanna Monroe:
What happens when he doesn't want to do that?

Rick Grimes:
It's not his choice.

Deanna Monroe:
So what happens?

Rick Grimes:
[Rick pauses] I kill him. We kill him.

Deanna Monroe:
We don't kill people. This is civilization, Rick.

Rick Grimes:
Warning someone to stop or die, that is civilized nowadays.

Deanna Monroe:
[Deanna makes a disbelief face] Oh.

Rick Grimes:
So what? So we just let him hit her? We let him kill her?

Deanna Monroe:
No, we exile him if it comes to that.

Rick Grimes:
We do that, we don't know when he comes back or what he does to them. Letting him go makes this place vulnerable. You really want to wait till someone in that tower has to take care of it? And that's if we're lucky.

Deanna Monroe:
We are not... executing anyone. Don't ever suggest it again. That sort of thinking doesn't belong in here.

Rick Grimes:
People die now, Deanna. They do. There's times like this you can decide who and when. Or it can be decided for you.

Deanna Monroe:
It already was. I wouldn't kill you. I'd just send you away. [Deanna walks away]
