Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : We keep thinking that people will change. What if that's wrong? What if *I'm* the one who has to change?

  David Nolan : Change how?

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : I'm going to kill Cora.

• [Mary Margaret is concerned about Regina turning to her evil ways again] 

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : Why? Regina, why go back to being this way after how hard you tried?

  Regina Mills : And what did it get me? Dinner with a bunch of hypocrites who pretend they'll forgive me, when, in their hearts, they know... they never will.

• Mary Margaret Blanchard : You've earned enough good will with me to give you one last chance - a chance to choose the right side... The side of good.

  Regina Mills : Have you ever considered that maybe, perhaps... I am good? I was always the Queen. It was you who added 'Evil' to my name.

• Mary Margaret Blanchard : Listening to your mother is a mistake, Regina.

  Regina Mills : [sarcastic]  Because listening to you'll work out so much better!

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : She doesn't care about Henry. All she wants is power.

  Regina Mills : Power is how you get things.

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : She doesn't care about you.

  Regina Mills : Really? And what would you know about mothers?

• [Cora has willfully killed Johanna, Snow's former servant, as a show of force] 

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : I followed the same rule my entire life. Hold on to goodness. It's what my mother taught me. How many more lives is following that lesson going to take away from me?

  David Nolan : You can't let Cora make you lose faith in who you are, someone who does the right thing. Now, it's exactly what she wants.

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : I made the "right" decision when I stopped Regina's execution all those years ago? When it could've saved us all of this heartache. I made the "right" decision, when I sent Emma through the wardrobe alone, and we didn't see her first steps? I made the "right" decision, when I let my own mother die from Cora's poison.

  David Nolan : And we keep beating them.

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : At what cost? All I want is our happy ending. It's time we've earned it.

• Mary Margaret Blanchard : What happened?

  David Nolan : Hook. He ambushed me.

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : Are you hurt?

  David Nolan : I'm fine. It's not me he wants. It's Gold... and his hook. Yeah, I'm going to enjoy throwing his ass in jail.

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : Hook isn't the problem, David.

  David Nolan : Tell that to my head.
