[ He doesn't answer that question because, honestly, he's humiliated by the answer. He remembers talking to Carl about his mother, too. Interesting. Because hey, look, that was a tough kid. ]

Simon's great. But you know how it is. People die. Always got to have a backup dancer waiting in the wings.

[ And if he's a little impressed with his good choice, taking out Glenn and taking away Rick's only support with Daryl, then he's not going to bring it up. It might piss Rick off, and at this point if things don't go his way then it's probably best to have him on his side. Might save him by the skin of his teeth.

Not that he's thinking so negatively as that. But, you know. Backup dancing.

You know he's broken, right? Underneath that brusque exterior, that there is a broken man. Still spirited, sure, still kicking, but only cause the world hasn't stopped moving around him. He doesn't have hopes for the future, doesn't exist beyond his next meal. You've felt that, right?

I know. I know you've seen some shit. To get to this point, we all have.

It's like dicks. You and me, we've always known we're blessed, and we've measured out dicks against a whole lot of other people. Was close now and then, but we always came out number one. And now here you are. You've won all your dick measuring contests and I've measured mine. Short of whipping them out and waggling them at each other, we're not going to know who the winner between us is. And, having never lost a contest, we're neither of us planning to back down.

I don't doubt the competition will be tough. But you've got a whole hell of a lot more to lose than I do. All of you have. I'm not saying it to be a bitch, it's just the way these things are.
