Quotes 

• David Nolan : And you're sure Cora never said anything about her?

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

• Robin Hood : So, are you gonna tell me what's in that letter you've been staring at?

  Regina Mills : What letter?

  Robin Hood : This one?

  [he holds up a folded paper between his fingers] 

  Robin Hood : I'm a pickpocket by trade. I spent many years learning how to rob from magicians.

  Regina Mills : You're lucky I'm saving my strength for that witch.

  Robin Hood : I think, deep down, you actually want to talk about what's in here.

  Regina Mills : What makes you think you know me so well?

  Robin Hood : Well, for one thing, I'd be charred to a crisp by now if you didn't.

  Regina Mills : True.

• Emma Swan : It doesn't matter if Zelena is your sister or not. She wants you dead. Any idea why?

  Regina Mills : I never even met her before today.

  Emma Swan : Doesn't mean you didn't do something to piss her off.

  Tinker Bell : You did manage to step on a lot of toes back in our world.

  Regina Mills : Well, none of them were green.

• Regina Mills : Well, what are you waiting for? Kill me.

  Zelena : I never said I wanted to kill you. I said I wanted to destroy you. And to do that, I need your heart.

  [she thrusts her hand into Regina's chest, then pulls it out again - empty-handed] 

  Zelena : [irritated]  Where is it?

  Regina Mills : Our mother taught me one thing: never bring your heart to a witch fight. Something you'd know If she hadn't... abandoned you.

  Zelena : [gasps angrily]  You haven't won, Regina. I *will* get your heart! I will get everything you ever had!

  Regina Mills : Not today.

• Zelena : Meet me on Main Street tonight. Say, sundown.

  Regina Mills : And then what?

  Zelena : Then I'll destroy you.

  Regina Mills : This isn't the Wild West.

  Zelena : No, Dear. It's the Wicked West

• Tinker Bell : It's the lion tattoo. It's what was prophesied. He's your soul mate.

  Regina Mills : I know. I saw it yesterday.

  Tinker Bell : And you didn't tell me?

  Regina Mills : Well, right now I have better things to do than gossip about boys!

• Robin Hood : [Reading Rumplestiltskin's letter to Cora]  Cora, dear. I've finally got my hands on your first born. Never thought I'd find her, did you? Now I know why: She's the most powerful sorceress I've ever encountered. Even more powerful than you. Stunning in every way.

  [Finishes the letter] 

  Robin Hood : Rather complimentary I'd say. Why is this troubling you?

  Regina Mills : I've seen that letter a hundred times before. In my darkest moments I'd go to it for comfort. For solace. For a boast when I needed it. Because I- Because I always thought it was about me.

  Robin Hood : It's about Zelena.

  Regina Mills : Rumpelstiltskin thinks she's more powerful than I am.

  Robin Hood : Why do you care what that imp thinks?

  Regina Mills : Because, if the man who taught me everything I know about magic, thinks *she* is stronger than I am, then there's no way I can win this fight.
