Episode Quotes

Morales: Hey T-Dog, how's that signal?
T-Dog: Like Dixon's brain: weak.

Glenn: Nice moves there, Clint Eastwood. You're the new sheriff come riding in to clean up the town?
Rick Grimes: Wasn't my intention.
Glenn: Yeah, whatever. Yeehah. You're still a dumbass.

Glenn: [while being smeared with zombie guts] Oh, this is bad. This is really bad.
Rick Grimes: Think about something else. Puppies and kittens.
T-Dog: *Dead* puppies and kittens. [Glenn vomits]

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (continuity error): When they dismember the corpse of Wayne Dunlap, Rick hands Morales the visor and an axe. In the first shot Morales's gloves are clean. Then when he puts the visor on his hands are covered in blood. In the next shot they're clean again
Goof (continuity error): In the scene where Morales and Rick take turns dismembering a zombie with an ax, Morales places a protective helmet on. When he swings downward, the helmet is on, but when he raises his head again, there is suddenly no helmet.
Goof (continuity error): When the group is in the back of the store chopping up the dead body to use its guts, Rick hands the axe to Morales, who then starts chopping the body into pieces. Just before the camera angle cuts in the middle of this, the visor Morales is wearing clearly falls of his head, but is back on his head in the following shot.
Goof (continuity error): When Morales is handed the axe and begins chopping the body, his face guard falls off on the first chop. It is then on again in the next scene and falls off again on the second chop. Then is on again in the next scene.
Goof (continuity error): When Rick and Glenn go after the truck, there is a thunderstorm with rain. Just after it ends the streets are bone dry.

Trivia

During filming of this episode, when Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker) is shooting from the rooftop of the department store, The S.W.A.T. squad of Atlanta were called because people thought he was a sniper. But everything was fine when they were told they were filming.
SPOILER: The construction company whose truck Rick and Glenn steal to get the other survivors out of Atlanta is "Ferenc Builders". Ferenc is series developer/writer Frank Darabont's given first name.
Legendary songwriter Craig Wilde (Craig Braginsky on IMDb) did a walk on as a zombie. It is the 4th time he has played an uncredited zombie.
