- Isaac Heller: It's a shame. I mean... Writing a happy ending for the Evil Queen. Well, you... you've always been a favourite of mine. Very clear goals plus totally damaged personality, with a self-destructive streak? A recipe for compelling... And of all the characters I've written for, you really do get screwed over the most.
- Evil Queen: I'm well aware.
- Regina Mills: I'm sorry. This was all about me. For her, this was all about... Making sure I never get my happy ending.
- Robin Hood: If by happy ending, you mean us, then... At least, in a way, that's possible again. Look, it's messy, I know, but... Between us...
- Regina Mills: Is a huge obstacle. And it's going to get bigger every day, and not just for nine months either. It's a lifetime she has cooking in there.
- Regina Mills: Oh, it's your heart, isn't it? It's finally happening.
- Mr. Gold: Yeah. It's dying. Bad news for you and me both.
- Regina Mills: You said it would kill your ability to love. You didn't say that... The Dark One can't die, not like that.
- Mr. Gold: No, but Rumplestiltskin can. A friendly warning... You don't wanna face the Dark One when there's no one else at home.
- Regina Mills: [to Zelena] I've got The Author and I've got the ink. I wanted you to witness the moment he writes me my heart's desire. See, this is my town and this is my story. You've just been a supporting player this whole time.
- Cora Mills: Now, we both know you're not going to drink that, so put it down and we can fix this.
- Evil Queen: You don't think I'm strong enough to do this?
- Cora Mills: Stupid girl. You think it'll make you strong to hurt yourself?
- Evil Queen: Oh, it does if it hurts you more.
- Maleficent: I know that I'm not... I'm not what you were hoping for.
- Lily Page: I thought that you'd be this scary dragon bitch, and we'd go get our revenge. You know, blasting all those who did us wrong... But you're just... This real person. And you're so frickin' open, it kills me.
- Maleficent: Why does that kill you? I don't understand. Please, tell me.
- Lily Page: Because you want a relationship, a future. And anyone who's ever wanted that with me, it's just... It's never worked out. I've always let them down. I destroy everything that I touch. That darkness they put in me, it's serious business.
- Maleficent: I don't mind a little darkness.
- Lily Page: Seriously? We're gonna let them get away with this?
- Maleficent: We can be happy in the future or we can be angry about the past.
- Lily Page: Let's do both. Look, all these years since I've figured out what happened, I've been trying to figure out how two humans could get me away from a freakin' dragon... and now I get it, you're a pushover... What did they do? Rub your belly? Give you a dragon treat?
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Sounds like you're talking about Robin Hood.
- Cora Mills: Tell me more, sheriff.
- Sheriff of Nottingham: Oh, no, no, no, you don't want him, darling. He is a sanctimonious blowhard who thinks he's better than all the other thieving bastards because he steals from the rich... To give to the poor and won't shut up about it.
- Cora Mills: That sounds insufferable.
