Regina Mills quotes from Once Upon a Time

Emma

Your mom. She's a piece of work, you know?

Regina

Indeed I do.

Mary Margaret

Listening to your mother is a mistake, Regina.

Regina

Because listening to you'll work out so much better!

Regina

You better come through, Gold, or I'll make whatever Pan has planned for you look like child's play. You understand me?

Mr. Gold

Well, a simple "good luck" would have sufficed.

I've never heard of Storybrooke.

Regina

It's a hidden gem. Peaceful. Perfect for children. It's like a fairy tale. You should come visit sometime.

I get two weeks off a year, and all due with respect, Sandals has an inclusive buffet. You got that in Storybrooke?

Regina

I'm afraid not.

Peter Pan

Last words from the Queen? Perhaps a deathbed confession from the one who has the most to regret of all?

Regina

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.

Regina

Henry, I was wrong, too. It wasn't your fault. It's mine. I cast the curse out of vengeance. And I'm... I'm the villain. You heard Mr. Gold. Villains don't get happy endings.

Henry

You're not a villain. You're my mom.

Regina

As you said, I just needed to find something to live for.

Robin

And you found it? What?

Regina

The one thing I haven't had in a very long time. Someone to destroy.

Regina

When we face our deepest fears, our true courage comes out. When you used the hilt of your sword to vanquish your fears, your courage transferred into it.

David

Why did it disappear?

Regina

It didn't disappear. She took it.

Robin

Apologies, m'lady. I thought you were the Wicked Witch.

Regina

And I thought you were a flying monkey.

Regina

This isn't the Wild West.

Zelena

No, dear. It's the Wicked West.

David

And you're sure Cora never said anything about her?

Regina

I think I would remember if my mother told me she had a love child with a scarecrow.

Emma

Hook's good with Henry and Henry likes him.

Regina

He's prone to violence, impulsive... and has a hook for a hand. What about him would a twelve-year-old boy wouldn't like?

Snow

It's happening again. I'm about to give birth, and an evil sorceress is threatening the future of my child.

Regina

To be fair, the first time I was threatening you. Everyone else just became collateral damage.

Grumpy

Remind me again why we forgave her?

Regina

Because I'm helping!

Mary Margaret

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

You honestly believe that?

Mary Margaret

It doesn't matter what I believe. What matters is that you do.

Regina

I'm not in the mood for a hope speech, Emma.

Emma

You mistake me for my mother. Besides, you don't need a speech. You need a drinking buddy.
