I'm your mother.
I don't care.
Do you really think that redemption is possible?
Yes. I have to believe we can earn forgiveness. A chance at grace. But to get there, we have to be the best people we can. Work, spread hope and faith every day. Because, otherwise, what we did will stain us forever.
You turned me into a monster. I won't let you do the same thing to Emma.
Is that your final answer? You're choosing the Savior over your beloved Robin Hood?

[after Regina blames her for sending the Fury to attack Robin] I did not summon that monster. The price is not mine to pay.
Then whose is it?
Yours. You are the one who did not pay the price of magic in Camelot. You want to save Robin Hood? You want everyone to believe you're the Savior? Then step up and do what needs to be done!
[after Emma fails to remove Excalibur from the stone] Did you really think it would be that simple, dearie? If you want that sword, you're gonna have to pay the price.
