"No! No way in hell. That was not the deal.
You people swore you could take the Saviors out and you failed. So any arrangement we had is now done. Null and void. We aren't trade partners, we aren't friends. And we never met. We don't know each other" Gregory flopped down onto his chair "I own you nothing, in fact you won me for taking in the refugees at great personal risk"

"Oh, you were very brave staying in here while Maggie and Sasha saved this place. Your courage was inspiring" Jesus mocked

"Okay? I don't want to know. I never want to hear another word about any of it, ever"

"Would we be better off without the Saviors. Yes or no?"
Rick asked annoyed

"Yeah. Sure. Okay"

"So, what will you do to fix the problem?" Michonne stepped towards his desk

"I didn't say we had a problem. You did. And what happens outside my purview, is outside of my purview" Gregory waved her away
