- Robin of Locksley: You mean to say you're the ne'er-do-well version of Regina, just as I am with the other Robin Hood? Well, how about that? Somebody in this godforsaken town I actually have something in common with.
- Evil Queen: I beg your pardon? I'm a *queen*, not some burlap-loving peasant who sleeps in dirt.
- Robin of Locksley: Excuse me, I sleep on hay... Which is on dirt, but there is separation.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: What happened to the Evil Queen? She's still a snake, right?
- Regina Mills: I have no idea. She got loose. And if she has figured out a way to escape her mortal coil, well, there's no telling what evil she could be up to.
- Robin of Locksley: Maybe Regina was right. Maybe there is a reason that I'm here, but it's not to save her. It's to save you.
- Evil Queen: [scoffs] I don't know what you've heard about me; but I don't need saving.
- [the Evil Queen has made Robin dig a hole in a cemetery]
- Robin of Locksley: Couldn't you use magic to dig this hole?
- Evil Queen: You're right, but what would be the fun in that? You don't mind a little dirty work, do you?
- Evil Queen: Remember how you said this arrow will lead me to gaze upon the person I love most? Well, there's a very thin line between love and hate.
- [after mixing the Evil Queen's and her hearts' content, Regina puts both hearts back in place]
- Evil Queen: No. What's happening to me?
- Regina Mills: I gave you some of my love - love from... Henry and Robin and the people I care most about. And in return, I'm taking back some of your darkness. Our darkness.
- Evil Queen: Why?
- Regina Mills: You are a part of me. And I'm a part of you, whether you like it or not. And now I love myself. Which means, so should you.
- Evil Queen: Do you still regret it - not walking through the door of that tavern all those years ago?
- Regina Mills: If I had, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have Henry or... my family or this town. I can't imagine a life without all that.
- Evil Queen: [referring to page 23] So Tinker Bell was wrong, then. That isn't your happy ending.
- Regina Mills: No, it isn't. But it did give me hope when I needed it most, and that was just as important.
