Once Upon a Time quotes

My darling Belle. You have to tell me what happened to you.

I was abducted.

[Realizes] Regina?

[Nods] She locked me away until her curse. And I've been in the asylum ever since.

For twenty-eight years. [Belle nods] All these years, you've been here– alive.

Is-Is that– Is that why you did this? Why you wanted magic? For revenge?

Oh, no. But it might come in handy.

[Upset] No. No!

[Angrily] I cannot let this stand, Belle, I will not let this stand!

Look. [Takes Mr. Gold's hands] Promise me. Promise me you won't give into your hate. Promise me you won't kill her. [Mr. Gold becomes reluctant] Promise me and we can be together.

[Caresses Belle's cheek] Sweetheart– I promise.

[Mr. Gold and Belle kiss, then embrace.]

What can I do for you?

What you can do is tell us what you did.

I'm sorry, you're gonna have to be more specific.

You know damned well what we're talking about.

Mary Margaret

You double-crossed Emma, you took your potion from her...

And did who knows what to this town.

And worst of all, you risked Henry's life.

Well, that is quite a list of grievances, now isn't it?

Maybe I don't need answers. Maybe I just need to punch you in the face.

[Laughs] Really, dearie?

PPhillip

I'm going to go collect some wood to build a fire. I'll be back in five minutes.

[Philip kisses Aurora. She pulls away and smiles]

Aurora

This is a "see you in five minutes" kiss?

Mulan

That thing out there is dangerous. And Philip... he left to protect you. So even if I don't believe in his methods, I'm going to honor his wishes. I'm going to keep you safe.

Aurora

I never asked him to.

Mulan

You never had to. Everything he does, he does for you. And now he's going to die for you. Love is sacrifice. Something you clearly don't understand.

[Mr. Gold is spinning wool at his spinning wheel when Belle returns.]

Hi.

Hey.

I, uh, went for a long walk.

I thought you didn't wanna see me.

I didn't. But I– I was worried.

Well, the beast is gone. Regina– lives.

So, uh, you didn't get what you wanted?

Well, that remains to be seen.

[Belle notices her chipped cup, prompting her to pick it up.]

You, uh– You still have it. [Chuckles] My chipped cup.

[Stands up and takes the cup from Belle] There are many, many things in this shop. But this– This is the only thing I truly cherish. And now you must leave.

[Surprised] What?

You must leave, because, despite what you must hope– I'm still a monster.

[Puts her hands on Mr. Gold's shoulders] Don't you see? That's exactly the reason I have to stay.

Don't worry. Emma and Mary Margaret, they're alive.

How do you know?

I have faith.

But...

Henry, come here. I will find them. I will always find them.

You know what? Maybe you should be less concerned about hats and more concerned about taking care of my son.

Oh, because you took such good care of him.

I will not listen to childcare lectures from a man who put his daughter in a box and shipped her to Maine.

Henry

You ruined lives! You sent away Mary Margaret and Emma.

That was an accident.

Henry

The way you treated me wasn't an accident. You made it so no one believed me. You made me feel like I was crazy.

[The citizens of Storybrooke are in their cars driving along the road leading to the border. David and Ruby are in the truck driving ahead of them. They angle the truck sideways in order to block the way. David and Ruby get out of the truck, while the citizens get out of their cars. David climbs up on the bed of the truck.]

Archie

Get out of the way! We have a right to go!

Listen to me! Listen! [The citizens quiet down] If you cross that line, you're gonna be lost. Everyone who loves you will lose you. But there's something worse: You'll lose yourself. Look. I get wanting to leave here, I do. And I get that it's easier to let go of bad memories, but– even bad memories are part of us. David. Storybrooke David, was, is– weak– confused– and he hurt the woman I love. I wouldn't give up being Charming just to be him– but you know what? I wouldn't make the other trade either. Because that David reminds me not only of whom I lost– but of who I want to be. My weaknesses and my strengths, David and the prince. I am both– just like you. You are both. The town is both. We are both. Stay here, and every choice is open to you. Live in the woods if you want. Hell, live in a shoe if you want. Or eat frozen burritos and write software. Let's open Granny's, and the school, and get back to work. I will protect you. She won't be able to hurt any of us. Not as long as I'm alive. Not as long as we all come together. As we did before. As we shall do again.

[Convinced by David not to leave, the citizens get back into their cars. David turns to Ruby, who gives a proud look.]

The Enchanted Forest. Our land. Does it still exist?

Yes. But I have no idea how to get back there. I can see I just launched you on a heroic quest. Just make sure that you also take care of my son.

That I can do.

Mulan

Have you ever seen an ogre?

I'm pretty sure I've dated a few.

Red Riding Hood

We have to move camp. They're coming for us.

Charming

No! We will not run! We said we were gonna take the kingdom back and we can't do that with our tails between our legs... No offense.

LLancelot

Leaving is unwise. The Enchanted Forest is not as you remember it. The ogres have returned.
