Once Upon a Time · Season 1
You're in love.
That's impossible. Dwarves can't fall in love.
Trust me. I know love, and you're in it.
What's it like?
It's the most wonderful and amazing thing in the world. Love is hope. It fuels our dreams, and if you're in it, you need to enjoy it because love doesn't always last forever.
You dress like a drag queen during Fleet Week.
And you dress like Norman Bates when he dresses like Norman Bates's mother.
You ever see a wild animal just turn its back and walk away like you don't matter? If this wolf is like that one, there is no defeating it. It's already won. Just by existing in our world. You don't kill it. You just hide.
So, your Granny's kind of intense.
Yeah, a little. I feel like a rat in a trap.
There's a whole lot of Maine to search, Regina.
Well, you covered this room. I suggest you branch out.
I can't pay you.
I didn't ask for money.
Then why are you doing this?
Let's just say, I'm invested in your future.
The potion you gave Snow. It changed her. She's not the same!
Well of course it changed her. It took away her love, left a big hole in her heart. There is no cure for what she's got. The person she was? There's no way to bring her back. No potion can bring back true love. Love is the most powerful magic of all. The only magic I haven't been able to bottle. If you can bottle love, you can do anything.
[after Charming thwarts her assassination attempt] What are you doing? Why would you do this?!
Well, because you said you appreciate action more than words. So now you're going to get both. I love you, Snow.
But I don't love you. I don't even remember you!
Well I don't care. The only thing I care about is you don't forget who you really are. I would rather die than let you fill your heart with darkness.
When you were in high school, did you learn about the Civil War?
Yeah. Of course.
How? Did you read about it, perchance, in a book? How is that any different, any less real, than any other book?
History books are based on history.
And storybooks are based on what? Imagination. Where does that come from? It has to come from somewhere. You know what the issue is with this world? Everyone wants some magical solution for their problem and everyone refuses to believe in magic. [points at the hat] Now get it to work.
Here's the thing, Jefferson. This is it. This is the real world.
A real world. How arrogant are you to think yours is the only one? There are infinite more. You have to open your mind. They touch one another, pressing up in a long line of lands, each just as real as the last. All have theier own rules; some have magic, some don't, and some need magic.
The murder weapon was found in your apartment. Your fingerprint was on the box containing Kathryn's heart. Shall I go on? Why not, for once, make it easier on everyone? Because confession or not, you're leaving Storybrooke.
And you would like that. Why? Why do you take such pleasure in this? What did I ever do to you to make you hate me so much?
Life with a stable boy is a far cry from being a Queen.
Being a Queen is nothing. Daniel, all I care about is you.
The eagle is in the nest and the package is secure.
I left the code book at home, Henry.
She's getting in the shower and the keys are under the mat.
You don't know what you want. But I do. I didn't make the sacrifices I did in life to get you to the cusp of greatness so that you could end up the wife of a stable boy.
You broke our deal.
I broke one deal in my life, dear, and it certainly wasn't this one.
Kathryn was supposed to die and Mary Margaret was to get the blame!
Yeah, but murder seems so much worse here, though doesn't it? You can't just turn someone into a snail and then step on them, can you?
Kathryn, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lied to you. I'm sorry I cheated on you. I'm just so sorry for all of this.
David, it's okay. What we had, it wasn't it for you. Maybe for both of us. I can't blame you for just being the first one to see it.
