Quotes 

• Emma Swan : Just because you believe something doesn't make it true.

  Henry Mills : That's exactly what makes it true. You should know more than anyone.

  Emma Swan : Why is that?

  Henry Mills : Because you're in this book.

  Emma Swan : Oh kid, you got problems.

  Henry Mills : Yep. And you're gonna fix 'em.

• Emma Swan : Okay, kid, how about an address?

  Henry Mills : 44 I'm-not-telling-you Street.

• Emma Swan : [referring to Archie Hopper]  So, that's your shrink.

  Henry Mills : I'm not crazy.

  Emma Swan : Didn't say that. He just... he doesn't seem cursed to me. Maybe he's just trying to help you.

  Henry Mills : He's the one who needs help. Because he doesn't know.

  Emma Swan : That he's a fairy tale character.

  Henry Mills : None of them do. They don't remember who they are.

  Emma Swan : Convenient! All right, I'll play. Who's he supposed to be?

  Henry Mills : Jiminy Cricket.

  Emma Swan : Right, the lying thing. I thought your nose grew a little bit.

  Henry Mills : I'm not Pinocchio!

  Emma Swan : Of course you're not, because that would be ridiculous.

• Emma Swan : What's that?

  Henry Mills : I'm not sure you're ready.

  Emma Swan : Ready for some fairy tales?

  Henry Mills : They're not fairy tales. They're true. Every story in this book actually happened.

• Henry Mills : I want you to come home with me.

  Emma Swan : Okay, kid. I'm calling the cops.

  Henry Mills : Then I'll tell them you kidnapped me.

  Emma Swan : And they'll believe you because I'm your birthmother.

  Henry Mills : Yep.

• Henry Mills : Are you Emma Swan?

  Emma Swan : Yeah. Who are you?

  Henry Mills : My name's Henry. I'm your son.

• Emma Swan : An evil queen sent a bunch of fairy tale characters here?

  Henry Mills : Yeah, and now they're trapped.

  Emma Swan : Frozen in time? Stuck in Storybrooke, Maine? That's what you're going with?

  Henry Mills : It's true.

  Emma Swan : Then why doesn't everybody just leave?

  Henry Mills : They can't. If they try, bad things happen.

• Henry Mills : I was hoping that when I brought you back, things would change here. That the final battle would begin.

  Emma Swan : I'm not fighting any battles, kid.

  Henry Mills : Yes, you are. You're here because it's your destiny. You're gonna bring back the happy endings.

  Emma Swan : Can you cut it with the book crap?

  Henry Mills : You don't have to be hostile. I know you like me, I can tell. You're just... pushing me away because I make you feel guilty. It's OK. I know why you gave me away. You wanted to give me my best chance.

  Emma Swan : [after a pause]  How do you know that?

  Henry Mills : It's the same reason Snow White gave you away.

  Emma Swan : Listen to me, kid: I am not in any book. I'm a real person. And I'm no savior. You were right about one thing, though. I wanted you to have your best chance. But it's not with me.

• Woman on Bus : That a good book?

  Henry Mills : This? It's more than just a book.
