- Captain Hook: I know you're hurting, Swan, but there are better ways to grieve Baelfire's death then letting anger overcome you.
- Emma Swan: Let me guess. Rum?
- Captain Hook: Never hurts.
- 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.
- [Emma is throwing darts at a dart board with pinpoint accuracy]
- Captain Hook: Perhaps I should paint a bull's-eye on the Wicked Witch's back.
- Emma Swan: She'll get more than a dart when I find her.
- Rumplestiltskin: [about a happy memory] Like you, I was abandoned as a child. Some spinsters took us in. We didn't have much, but we got by. Whenever we'd finish a job, they used to bake meat pies. The entire hovel would fill with the most wonderful smell. And after they'd cooled, they always used to let me take the first bite. And as the food warmed my belly, that was the only time I forgot who I really was - a boy who wasn't wanted by his papa.
- 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.
- Wizard of Oz: What you seek doesn't exist. No magic is that strong.
- Zelena: Well, then - I have no use for you. At least not like that.
- Wizard of Oz: Like what?
- Zelena: What I need is someone who's willing to do whatever I ask without question. Like a trained circus animal.
- Wizard of Oz: You're evil.
- Zelena: Not evil, dear. Wicked.
- Zelena: I was just trying to make your decision easier. Show you that I'm more powerful. That I'm the one who's going to cast your curse.
- Rumplestiltskin: I appreciate your efforts, dearie, but I'm afraid you just disqualified yourself.
- Zelena: What? Why?
- Rumplestiltskin: Because casting the curse has a price. A steep one. You have to give up the thing you love most.
- Zelena: I can do that.
- Rumplestiltskin: That's the problem, dearie. The thing you love most is me.
- 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!
- Wizard of Oz: It is one thing to wonder about your past, but another to become envious of things you cannot have.
- 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.
