“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

But how did you know I was looking for a prince?

It's my job, isn't it? And in this business, it's all about who you know. I don't like to drop names, but I do have a few friends... on the other side.

Welcome back... Regina.

Regina

All those years... A blink of an eye for us and you... you lived a lifetime with Belle? It's difficult to comprehend.

Mr. Gold

You know, we had a good life. And it made me a new man. That's why I'm here in this realm. Finally ready to pass on the power of the Dark One. The right way.

[after Weaver accuses him of being obsessed with the Eloise Gardener case] I'm gonna find Eloise Gardener. And I won't let you, Victoria Belfrey, or anyone else stop me.

I know that where you come from, true love always wins. But mine is a world of broken promises where people never find each other.

I'll apologize for taking some food, but I won't apologize for trying to help my family. My husband is sick. My kids have gone two days without a bite.

Many people come here in an attempt to steal my magic. And yet, here you are selflessly risking my ire for radishes... It's rare to find a flower that can grow amongst the weeds of human nature.

Regina

I can't just– can't just cast a curse. It takes time and– ingredients–

Eight, to be exact. And I have seven of them right here. The only one I'm missing – the most important one, and, of course, the hardest to find – is magic from a witch who crushed the heart of the thing she loves most. So– Regina, what'll it be? My curse or his life?

And speaking of cool, tonight's the night– Taste of the Heights is happening.

A food fair in an abandoned skate park? Oh, that's so cool!

Robin

Wow. So you're the girl in the tower.

I got out of that tower years ago.

So, how do you do a Hansel hunt? You stake out the lederhosen stores? Dust for gingerbread? Look for breadcrumbs?

So how does it feel to finally be chosen before Regina?

I was so tired of being Hansel. You know, carrying his scars. So I picked a new name. Jack was simple. Jack had no past. And then when we slayed all those giants and you decided I was Jack the Giant Killer. And suddenly I... I was a hero.

She was never with you. And now she's gonna be the one who stops you.

Tilly

What? No. I can't fight her. She's a monster. She's too strong.

[Approaches them] Not half as strong as you, Alice.

Tilly

Papa, please.

I know you're afraid.

Tilly

You're hurting yourself. You're– You're growing weak.

No, I'm finally growing strong. You make me stronger.

Yet every step you take, your heart grows weaker.

You can do this. I'm here with you. [Takes Tilly's hand]

[Takes Tilly's other hand] And so am I.

Don't be a fool. Join your mother and defend your home.

Tilly

You are not my mother. You wanna ruin me the way the world ruined you, but I'm not like you. I'm not an outcast. I'm not an orphan or a street rat or some crazy girl who's lost her way. You chose hate, but I choose love.

Tilly

I'm sorry your life twisted into something you never meant it to. I promise I will do better. For everyone. [Grows flowers on the tree]

Henry

[Voiceover as Regina reads his personal essay] Dear Mom, this is the personal essay I wanted to send, but couldn't. It's titled "Once Upon a Time." And it's the story of us. Sometimes, you have to leave home. And you've been there for so long, you don't know who or what you'll be outside of it, but then you realize every experience, every trial, every moment has shaped you. And you take that place with you no matter where you go next. I'm lucky. I have an incredible home. You won't find it on a map, but in it, you will find magic. You find love, hope, and something to believe in. You'll find a family that fights for one another, who never gives up on each other. And even when they're separated by curse or distance or time, they find each other. They always find each other. I wish the world could know the story of my family, how it was all true, how every moment of it happened. And you may think this is just a story, but that's the thing about stories. They're more than words. They live inside of us. They make us who we are. And as long as someone believes that, there will always be magic.

That's what I thought. You're a shadow of your former self. It's sad. Trying to get back to your beloved has made you the worst version of you. [Gets stabbed in the back by Wish Realm Rumplestiltskin]
