Quotes 

• Captain Hook : You promised me the truth, not a bloody tour.

  Emma Swan : The truth is tricky. You have to look for it.

• Captain Hook : I need to know what happened between us in Camelot. Just tell me.

  Emma Swan : It's not that easy.

  Captain Hook : It can be. Whatever you did, whatever you are trying to atone for, I already forgive you.

  Emma Swan : I don't need forgiveness.

  Captain Hook : Then come clean. I assure you, you've done no worse than I. I was a pirate for hundreds of years.

  Emma Swan : And you think it's the same?

  Captain Hook : [motions to a ring on his hand]  You see this? Belonged to a man named Barnaby. Called me "One-Hand Jones". I killed him in front of his wife, took his ring. This one, Edgar. Fine sailor. I caught him drinking the captain's wine. I drowned him. Every ring is a sad story.

  Emma Swan : [holds out the ring Hook gave her in Camelot]  What about this one?

  Captain Hook : You have it. I thought I lost it in Camelot.

  Emma Swan : You gave it to me to keep safe.

  Captain Hook : It's the saddest story of all. Belonged to a better man than I: my brother Liam.

  Emma Swan : You can have it back now.

  Captain Hook : Keep it. You know, I used to wear these rings as trophies. But all that changed when I met you.

  Emma Swan : What are they now?

  Captain Hook : A reminder. That all sins can be forgiven when someone loves you. And I was absolutely wrong before: I love you, Emma Swan, no matter what you've done.

  Emma Swan : So you really want to know the truth, no matter how awful?

  Captain Hook : I do.

  Emma Swan : Then there's something I need to show you.

• Captain Hook : [weakly]  Emma...

  Emma Swan : Killian.

  [Hook groans in pain] 

  Emma Swan : You're going to be okay.

  Captain Hook : No, please... you have to let me go. I don't want to pay this price. I don't... I don't want to become that.

  Emma Swan : You won't. You can fight the darkness, I can help you. We can do it together.

  Captain Hook : I'm not as strong as you are... or Merlin. I'm weak. The things I've... I've done... I've succumbed to darkness before in my life. And it took centuries to push it away. I don't know if I can do it again.

  Emma Swan : But our future...

  Captain Hook : I'll just be happy knowing that... that you have one.

  [cries out in pain, then loses consciousness] 

  Emma Swan : [hysterical]  That's not enough for me!

• Captain Hook : Easy, Swan. You got tagged pretty good there.

  Emma Swan : So did you.

  Captain Hook : This thing? Well, I've had worse cuts itching my nose with the wrong hand.
