Unlike the first episode of The Walking Dead season 7, this latest installment - a feature-length outing titled 'Service' - places the focus back on Rick Grimes and the remaining survivors of Negan's deadly line up for the first time since that traumatic opener (we're hoping you've recovered by now but if not, we're here for you).

In series time, less than a week has passed since the deaths of Glenn and Abraham - and now Negan has come a-knocking in an episode which sees The Saviours make their mark on the residents of the once-safe zone that was Alexandria.

It's no surprise that this episode is Negan-heavy considering Jeffrey Dean Morgan is now credited as one of the main cast members; clearly relishing every second, here are the most memorable lines spoken by the AMC drama's most fearsome antagonist yet.

Warning: the below contains swearing.
