Gold and Belle in “Unfinished Business”

When we met, I told you I was a difficult man to love. But more than that, I think I think I'm a man no one can love. But this son... With him, I can start over. Maybe he can love me.

Belle

Not like this. Don't give up, Rumple. I never wanted you to be perfect. I just wanted you to try.

I have. And look what's happened. I've only ever pushed you away. Now, uh, I... I'm afraid all I really have is this. Magic.

Belle

And it may get you your son. But you know there's a price. You won't just push me away again. You'll lose me forever. Is that a price that you're willing to pay?
