Quotes 

• Regina Mills : I need a child, Gold. And I need your help.

  Mr. Gold : Well, I'm flattered, but uninterested.

  Regina Mills : Not like that!

• Peter Pan : Last words from the Queen. Perhaps a deathbed confession from the one who has the most to regret of all.

  Regina Mills : Yeah, there's one problem with that. I did cast a curse that devastated an entire population. I have tortured and murdered. I've done some terrible things. I should be overflowing with regret, but... I'm *not*. Because it got me my son.

  [she rips Henry's heart out of Pan] 

  Regina Mills : Now... let's go save Henry.

• Regina Mills : Once upon a time there was a queen. And she cast a glorious curse that gave her everything she wanted... or so she thought. She despaired when she learned that revenge was not enough. She was lonely. And so she searched the land for a little boy to be her prince. And then... she found him. And though they lived happily, it was not ever after. There was still an evil out there lurking. The Queen was worried for her prince's safety. While she knew she could vanquish any threat to the boy, she also knew she couldn't raise him worrying. No. She needed to put her own troubles aside, and put her child first. And so, the Queen procured an ancient potion of forgetting. Oh, it's all right. If the Queen drinks the potion, she won't forget her child. She'll only forget her worries. Her troubles. Her fears. And with those gone, she, and her prince, can indeed finally live happily ever after.

• Regina Mills : [to Henry]  I know that look. That's five hours of Space Paranoids and too much pizza.

• Rumplestiltskin : I'm waiting!

  [Regina appears from a cloud of purple smoke] 

  Rumplestiltskin : What took you so long, dearie?

  The Evil Queen : You know what took so long.

  Rumplestiltskin : Oh, yes. The curse. You did it.

  The Evil Queen : That's right, I did it. And I wanted you to know it before you, like all the pathetic denizens of this wretched land, forgets everything.

  Rumplestiltskin : How did it feel?

  The Evil Queen : Watching the curse cloud form? Felt like victory.

  Rumplestiltskin : [laughing]  How did it feel to kill the thing you love most? Ripping the heart out of your father - how did that feel?

  The Evil Queen : It was the price of the curse. How it felt doesn't matter. He would've understood. I took my life back. I had to. I won.

  Rumplestiltskin : And yet, here you are, feeling the need to gloat. Something's missing, isn't it, dearie?

  The Evil Queen : Not at all. I have everything I want. Nothing can stop me now.

  Rumplestiltskin : [laughing]  Not quite.

  The Evil Queen : What does that mean?

  Rumplestiltskin : The savior. The child of Snow White and Prince Charming. *She* can stop you. *She* can break the curse.

  The Evil Queen : Well, it looks like getting rid of a baby just made my to-do list.

  Rumplestiltskin : Of course it did, but, even if you succeed with that, you have an even bigger problem. Now there's a hole in your heart, and someday, you will come to me to fill it.

  The Evil Queen : You overestimate your powers of foresight.

  Rumplestiltskin : And you underestimate the price of what you've done! You shall see, you will come to me. There is more you need, oh.

  The Evil Queen : Your taunts will get you nowhere. I know you too well. You wanna make another deal. Well, I won't.

  Rumplestiltskin : A deal? You've already promised me a good life in this new land. What more could I want from you?

  The Evil Queen : Oh, to be... let out of this cage? To be... let out of our last deal? To escape the curse?

  Rumplestiltskin : But why would I desire that, dearie? I'm exactly where I want to be.

• Mr. Gold : You wish to adopt.

  Regina Mills : Well, don't look so surprised.

  Mr. Gold : Oh, I'm not. I'm sure you'll make a... well, a mother of some sort.

• Adoption Agent : Never heard of Storybrooke.

  Regina Mills : Oh, it's a... hidden gem. Peaceful, perfect for children. It's like a fairy tale.

• Neal Cassidy : Even if we can find Pan, he was powerful before. With Henry's heart, I-I don't know if we can hurt him.

  Regina Mills : Yes, we can. Look.

  [she points at the bloody sword in Emma's hand] 

  Regina Mills : You nicked him. If he can bleed, we can hurt him. And if we can hurt him, we can kill him. And we will.

• Regina Mills : You have a son?

  Peter Pan : I'm older than I look.

• Regina Mills : Henry is *my* son. The best thing for Henry is to stay with a mother who will never let go of him. Ever again.

• Emma Swan : Enough.

  Regina Mills : Don't tell me what's enough. My son is dying!

  Emma Swan : *Our* son. So, yes, I know how you feel.

  Regina Mills : You have no idea what I feel. You have your parents. You have this-

  [Gestures at Neal] 

  Regina Mills : ... Person; a pirate who pines for you. You have everything and yet you claim to know what I feel?

  Emma Swan : You're right. I don't know what you feel. So what do you want to do? You want to run the show? Run it. How do we save Henry?

• Regina Mills : [Trying to soothe baby Henry]  Shhh. Okay, it's time to be quiet now. It's time to be quiet.

  [She sees Granny looking at her] 

  Regina Mills : What?

  Granny Lucas : Do you want some advice? Try a story. That's how they soothe themselves. A bedtime story. Gets him used to your voice. Worked with Ruby. Her issues started later.

• Dr. Whale : [examining baby Henry, who is crying]  Well, his heart's as strong as a locomotive. And his lungs are healthy, clearly.

  Regina Mills : Well, what-what about a blood test? Or a chest X-ray?

  Dr. Whale : Is he a smoker?

  Regina Mills : What?

  Dr. Whale : Look, it's obvious what the problem is. He's a crying baby.

  Regina Mills : [scoffs]  I paid for this?

  Dr. Whale : Actually, your insurance did.

  Regina Mills : What do I do?

  Dr. Whale : Ah. I can prescribe you something. 10 ccs of maternal love.
