- Mary Margaret Blanchard: The first thing my mother taught me about dancing... You have to learn to move in a dress, not a sensible pantsuit.
- Regina Mills: Fine.
- [Regina poofs herself into a black evil queen dress]
- Regina Mills: What?
- David Nolan: It's a little... scary.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: What he means is if you want people to see you as the Savior, maybe you should go for something a bit less... evil?
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: True love's kiss. I need to know why it didn't work for you and the bloody Crocodile.
- Belle Gold: Why, it did work, the first time. It awoke the man behind the beast. But Rumple got scared of a life without power, and he chose power over love. He pulled away from me, and in that moment, the darkness forever regained its grip on him. You know, a curse isn't a curse anymore when the afflicted wants it.
- Belle Gold: I know you think you can handle a Dark One...
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: I've battled him for centuries. I'm still here.
- Belle Gold: But you were trying to kill him. And now, well... It's far easier to hate a Dark One than it is to love one.
- Leroy: [At the town line] Someone's got to see what this new curse does. Any volunteers?
- Happy: I don't want to turn into a monkey.
- Sleepy: I like remembering who I am.
- Leroy: I'm afraid one of us is gonna have to dig down deep and find the courage to see what happens when we step over that line.
- Happy, Sleepy, Doc, Bashful: Not it.
- Dopey: [Writes "not it" on notepad]
- Leroy: Dopey. I'll take your silence as bravery. Good for you.
