Badass trio

U Ellie and dina are sitting there listening to people speak Maria: Next is Carlisle. Carlisle: I’ll be quick. Stands up Cause this one’s simple to me. People came and killed Joel. So why wouldn’t we wanna take our vengeance? Well because we’re not supposed to. Forgive and be forgiven. No grudges. No revenge. And I’m not even a Christian. I’ve always seen wisdom in that. That’s what separates us from the raiders and the murderers. Our capacity for mercy. Y/n: Those sons of bitches don’t deserve our mercy. Dina and Ellie look over at u Carlisle: Well of course they don’t deserve it. That’s what make it mercy. Y/n: Well to hell with that. U stand up and to hell with u for saying it Carlisle. Maria: Y/n sit down. Y/n: No. Maria: ur not on the list. Y/n: No! What the hell are we all talking about here? Boo-hoo it’s not fair. What, we gotta forgive everybody when they show up and piss in our eye? They came into our house. They took one of ours. My god, somebody shoots your brother, you wanna take the locks off ur door? Grow up! You idiots, they’ll come back. They’ll come back because we didn’t make ‘em pay. And when they come back they’ll be laughing. And you’ll all deserve it. Bunch of goddamn victims. U sit down Maria: Ellie? Ellie stands up Ellie: pulls a piece of paper out of her pocket and u and Dina look at her I normally don’t write things down because I normally don’t think before I talk which has gotten me in trouble before, a lot and it’s cost me in ways that sometimes couldn’t be undone. But I can’t afford that right now, because I know what I’m asking for is a lot I’m asking us to risk more people and resources and at the worst possible time. And I want everyone to know it’s no because I want revenge it’s not. It’s not about revenge. What I want is what u used to give people. I want justice. Because it’s either that or we do nothing. That’s what everyone else out there is gonna do for us. Nothing. whole rule of people who won’t let the finger if something bad happens to me or you we have a word for these people they’re called strangers. Well, I don’t think we’re strangers to each other and I wanna know that I can count on you and I swear if someone hurt any of you or the people you love you can count on me. That’s what holds all this together. Not potluck dinners or New Year’s Eve dances. Definitely not a wall because that got busted through but Jackson is still here. I’ll accept whatever the council decides. But I am asking u please…do what it takes to see that justice is done. Not for me. Not even for Joel. I am asking u please do it for us.
