- Robin Hood: All due respect, I'm beginning to think your magic-library theory might be a tad off. Any book we want is hardly gonna be stacked beside...
- [Pulls a random book off the shelf]
- Robin Hood: "The Cat in the Hat." Why would a cat want a hat?
- Will Scarlet: I've seen stranger.
- Regina Mills: Shouldn't someone be out looking for Emma?
- David Nolan: Didn't Mary Margaret tell you? She called. She figured out a way to get rid of her magic.
- Regina Mills: Get rid of it? And you're okay with that?
- David Nolan: We support our daughter.
- Regina Mills: We're not talking about an old pair of Jimmy Choos here. Tell me you're joking.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: It may seem drastic, but it's the only way Emma can be sure never to hurt anyone again.
- Regina Mills: This could be the worst idea you've ever had, and you hired the Wicked Witch as your nanny.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: How's Henry?
- Regina Mills: Reading comic books, refusing to sleep, so I think okay.
- [Gold has set up a room with a device to help Emma get rid of her magic; but she still has doubts about that decision]
- Emma Swan: What would you do?
- Mr. Gold: I wouldn't go in there for anything.
- Emma Swan: What? Why?
- Mr. Gold: Because, Emma, I'm not like you. I'm a man who makes wrong decisions, selfish decisions.
- Emma Swan: But you spent all that time looking for Neal, you... sacrificed yourself to save the town. You married Belle!
- Mr. Gold: And each time I meticulously undid all the good. Neal is still gone, the town is still in danger, and Belle, for better or worse, she knows who I am. And that's the man who always chooses power.
- Emma Swan: She believes you can change.
- Mr. Gold: And I love her for that. But I fear she's quite likely wrong. But you, Emma - you don't need to change. Because you're doing the right thing. Always.
- Regina Mills: If you do good hoping to be redeemed, is that... really good? Maybe evil *is* born - and that's just who I am.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: Regina... you saw me grow up. You know how selfish and shallow I could be as a child. You know what I've done since. You have literally seen my heart. You know it's not untouched. You are not all evil, and I'm not all good. Things are not that simple.
- Regina Mills: Well, whoever's guiding all this seems to think it is. You're the hero, and I'm the villain. Free will be damned. It's all in the book. And we both know how it plays out.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: Mm, maybe, but maybe not. Your stories went poorly because you made bad choices. But now you're making good ones. It may not happen as quickly as you want, but... if you stay the course, your happiness will come.
- Regina Mills: You honestly believe that?
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: It doesn't matter what I believe. What matters is that you do.
- Mr. Gold: You see, this spell is gonna finally separate me from the dagger so it no longer holds power over me. But to cast it... I need the heart of someone special, someone who knew me before the dagger... Before I was the Dark One. Unfortunately, everyone who fits that description is already dead, but one still lives.
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: No. No!
- Mr. Gold: Yes. As luck would have it, dearie, you're my oldest friend.
