- Regina Mills: I was an awful stepmother.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: Regina, come on, that was the past.
- Regina Mills: I know I was. How did you maintain hope during those terrible times?
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: Well, when my mother died... then my father... I mean, I had nothing. And then I realized, while y- well, the Evil Queen was trying to kill me, that the only way I could stay alive was to never give up. You taught me how to have faith. You were the one who taught me that hope is a choice.
- Regina Mills: I think Hades was wrong. Robin is at peace.
- [pause]
- Regina Mills: You know, I've been sitting here thinking about these new people and how pathetic they were for hiding in some horrible land, so their stories didn't have to play out. And then I realized... that's exactly what I used to do.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: [chuckles] I don't remember you hiding from *anything*.
- Regina Mills: Oh, I did. My life just stopped. The only story I heard was the one I kept telling myself - that I was... the Evil Queen. Until finally, I forgot the most important thing. My life was never just one story. It was many stories. To some, a villain. I hurt people... in ways I can never make up for. To others I'm... a hero. They've seen my strength, my ability to do the hard things, even when I thought I couldn't. I want to start a new story. One where the Evil Queen doesn't get a part. And I choose to believe that *this* story will have a better ending than my last.
- Zelena: What's happening out there?
- Regina Mills: Rumple handed the town over to Hyde.
- Zelena: Say, sounds like it's time for a showdown, doesn't it, sweetness? Hmm?
- [to baby]
- Zelena: Now have a nice nap while Mummy helps barbecue mean old Mr. Hyde.
- Emma Swan: You knew exactly what the Oracle was gonna show me, so cut the crap. What's coming and how do I stop it?
- Mr. Hyde: Why would I want it to?
- Emma Swan: Whatever's coming, whether you help me or not, I *will* defeat it.
- Mr. Hyde: That's funny, that's what the Saviors always say.
- Emma Swan: What're you talking about?
- Mr. Hyde: That's right, Emma, you're not the first Savior I've encountered. Wherever there's a Savior, there's a villain who brings them down. That's how the Savior's story always goes.
- Emma Swan: So, who is it?
- Mr. Hyde: I don't know who your villain is. Maybe they're already here. Or maybe... they came with me. I expect you'll want to help them, as Saviors do, but you have to ask yourself: is helping them exactly what causes your story to end?
- Jafar: Look at the great Aladdin now. And to think you could have escaped this fate.
- Aladdin: You're gonna kill me... just get it over with.
- Jafar: No, not a chance. I want to savor this. Do you remember when we first met? You were nothing but a common thief. But you had honor. Despite what you did to me. The irony's delicious. It took becoming a hero for you to completely come apart. But that's what always happens to Saviors, isn't it? It's the fate of Saviors. You give and give... and give... and for what? They pick the fruit, they cut the branches, and all that's left is this... shaky stump. That's why you never, ever hear these words about a Savior. "They lived happily ever after".
- Mr. Hyde: A word of advice... do be careful. Nothing more dangerous than an untold story... and the people who don't want them told.
- [Emma visits Hyde in his high security cell]
- Emma Swan: You said you knew what was wrong with me. Prove it.
- Mr. Hyde: Emma. You were a prisoner once, you know how this works.
- Emma Swan: What makes you think I was in prison?
- Mr. Hyde: I was a warden. I know that caged look. That's a look that doesn't quite fade, so you must know that prisoners respond to carrots and sticks, and you brought neither. Next time, try a bottle of Syrah and two glasses.
- Henry Mills: Mom? Why are you doing the locator spell?
- Regina Mills: Roland had a gift. Zelena lost it. Robin's feather.
- Henry Mills: You know better than anyone why it didn't work. It's looking for *him*. And he's gone.
- Regina Mills: "Obliterated." That's how Hades put it. "His soul... destroyed."
- Henry Mills: [skeptical] That's what Hades said?
- Regina Mills: You don't believe him?
- Henry Mills: Villains say whatever they can to hurt people. But what I choose to believe in is faith - hope that when a hero's story is over, there's a special place for them.
