Summary: Yeah, I dunno. All of this anti-Richonne and anti-Michonne shit…like, I wanted to know what Rick would think about it. Yeah, this is an indicator of my crazy, but, whatevs.
Barbara: Rick, did you think you would make it this far?
Rick: At first? No. Then something changed…I've survived so many things, things you couldn't even imagine. For me and my family? Our motto became "We don't die." For the most part, it's been true.
Barbara: You've experienced a lot of loss. But you've had some significant gains.
Rick: I have.
Barbara: Why do you think so many didn't see you and Michonne ending up together?
Rick: I've thought about that. It's laughable, but I'll humor you. Um, in spite of growing up in the South, color was never an issue for me. People are people, you know? But I know that's not the case for everyone. And I think, I think that's definitely the reason why they couldn't see–didn't want to see it. I mean Jesus, I couldn't stop staring. I knew it. Michonne knew it. Daryl knew it. The signs were all there, so that's their own fault. There was only one woman for me, and that's her. I don't want anyone else.
Barbara: What about Jessie?
Rick: Jessie…she was a nice woman. I liked her. I did. She reminded me of…hell, thangs past. And I met her at a time when I thought…I wasn't over Lori–my wife–yet. And I wasn't…I didn't think I had a real shot with Michonne. I didn't think she wanted me the way I wanted her. Good thang I was wrong.
Barbara: Would you say Michonne is your soulmate?
Rick: I never thought a lot about stuff like that, but, if I had to put a label on what we have…yeah. Michonne understands me in a way that no one ever has. And I want to be there for her in ways I never have been for anyone else. I was married, before. But this? This is different.
Barbara: What do you see for your future?
Rick: I dunno. I just know she's in it, by my side. Carl. Judith. Daryl.
Barbara: They're your constants.
Rick: (quietly) Yeah.
Barbara: Well, this has been enlightening. Thank you for your time, Rick.
Rick: Sure. Thank you.
