- Regina Mills: I'm not in the mood for a hope speech, Emma.
- Emma Swan: You're mistaking me for my mother. Besides, you don't need a speech, you need a drinking buddy. Shots?
- Regina Mills: Sure. Why not?
- Emma Swan: [to the bartender] Two.
- [back to Regina]
- Emma Swan: You know you did the right thing today.
- Regina Mills: There it is, a hope speech. I thought we were drinking.
- Emma Swan: It's not a speech, it's a compliment.
- Regina Mills: Well, I don't need your validation. I know I did the right thing. I know because I'm miserable. Again.
- Emma Swan: Well, if it makes you feel any better, so is Gold.
- Regina Mills: [slightly pleased] It does.
- Belle French: So, I figured it out... Why you collect so many magical objects. You have a hole in your heart.
- Rumplestiltskin: There's only one thing missing from my life right now. Clean clothes
- [Poofs Belle outside]
- Belle French: You're just upset because you know I'm right. And no, I am not talking to myself because I know you can and do listen to me.
- Mr. Gold: I'd like to tell you a story. It's about heroes and villains, where the villains always lose.
- Ursula: Seems like someone's changed his tune.
- Mr. Gold: I've learned the rules do apply to me, but also there's someone who can change those rules.
- Ursula: Who?
- Mr. Gold: For now, let's call him "The Author".
- Ursula: Pretentious. I hate him already.
- Mr. Gold: Then let's go see him. Tell him what we think. Unless you prefer life as a fish food dispenser.
- Ursula: But if you're coming to me for help, I can assume it won't be easy. Who's standing in our way?
- Mr. Gold: The usual people. The heroes.
- Belle French: Do you remember the first time you saved my life? You traded for me. I thought I... I saw something in you, something good. Well, I found that gauntlet today. And that's when I... I finally realized that all the signs I'd been seeing were correct. You'd never give up power for me, Rumple. You never have. You never will.
- Mr. Gold: Y... Y... you don't understand.
- Belle French: No. You told me that gauntlet could lead you to... to someone's weakness, to the thing they loved the most. Well, you know where it led me, Rumple? To the real dagger. Your true love is your power.
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: You may have got the best of me this time, Dark One, but I promise you, in the next life, it won't be so pleasant for you.
- Mr. Gold: Well, then, given my immortality, you'll have quite the wait amongst the fire and brimstone.
