My name is Lee. I'm a history professor. I, uh, teach history and things like that. I had a beta fish on my desk at the University. I got into a fight once. And it ended really badly. After that I wasn't allowed to talk to my family. Before the apocalypse I killed somebody. I'm not a monster. But I did the wrong thing. Sometimes we don't make choices. We just do what we do. Sometimes things happen or ... you do things and you can't explain it. Things have been scary, huh?. Sometimes it's kill or be killed. Sometimes people die ... It's not my fault. i'm sorry for hurting you in any way. It's impossible to go through life without causing some sorta pain. But sometimes I can't help but wonder if I coulda caused a little less. Sometimes, for the good of everyone, we have to make tough  
 choices. Decision doesn't make itself. I'm sorry. Whatever it is, whatever happened, you have to hear that I am sorry. 

Clementine:But you do it now to protect yourself and to protect me. 

Me:That's right, sweet pea. I'll protect you. Clementine honey I'm bitten l was uh, on my way to prison before this. Clementine's parents didn't make it. I found her in a house when getting out of Atlanta. She'd been surviving by herself. You'll take care of her?
