Quotes 

• Margot : [telling Tilly of her travels]  I started picking up these little souvenirs. I got this one in Thailand. Ooh! This one I got at this amazing little village in Peru. This one's my favorite. I got this one in the farthest place from Hyperion Heights you can go before you start coming back.

  Tilly : Mm. Wonder if I'll ever have an adventure like that.

  Margot : Oh, you will. I can tell these things. You are gonna have lots of adventures.

• Tilly : Okay. So, here's the thing about me. I'm never quite sure what kind of day it's gonna be. Sometimes I wake up and the whole day is good, and then... sometimes it's not. And I don't want you to see the not-good days. Not yet. Because it can be a bit too much for some people.

  Margot : I get that. But you don't have to worry, because it won't be too much for me, no matter what kind of day it is.

• Margot : You know what I think? You need to get out of your head a little bit. It's good for the soul. And it just so happens that I know the perfect way to do it.

  Tilly : Oh, yeah?

  Margot : You are spending the day with me. We're gonna do some eating, some walking, maybe some more eating. I'm a big fan of food.

  Tilly : Is this... like, a date?

  Margot : I hope so, or else I'm wasting a whole lot of lip gloss right now.

• [Alice has gifted Robin a pocket watch] 

  Alice : It's from one of my adventures in Wonderland.

  Robin : That's amazing. I've never seen a watch that moves backwards. I wish I'd done as many exciting things as you.

  Alice : Yeah, well, as much fun as traveling realms is, I'm starting to learn you can have a lot of other adventures just staying put; good ones, too.

• Tilly : This is one of my favorite spots in the whole city.

  Margot : Why's that?

  Tilly : Because from here, you can go anywhere in the world without ever taking a step. See?

  [she indicates a map on the wall] 

  Margot : Huh. That is the best description of a bookshelf I have ever heard.

  Tilly : Yeah, well, when your world is small, you do anything you can to make it bigger.

• Alice : What do you think, Mr. Rabbit? Do you like my bracelet? Robin gave it to me, and I don't plan to ever take it off.

• [Alice is examining a potion bottle] 

  Dr. Facilier : Dragon's fire. One drop burns the fingernails right off. Interested?

  Alice : No, thanks. Uh, I was actually hoping to speak to some dead. I heard you could do that.

  Dr. Facilier : Well, I don't really talk so much as listen. And do you know what they're saying right now? That you're not here to talk at all.

  Rumpelstiltskin : [from behind]  The dead, always so perceptive.

  Dr. Facilier : Dark One. Sending little girls to do your dirty work now?

  Rumpelstiltskin : Well, what can I say? Always love a good loophole.

• [Alice has refused to do Rumplestiltskin's bidding] 

  Alice : You knew I was gonna have to do that. You should've told me!

  Rumpelstiltskin : I-I couldn't, because... well, then you wouldn't have come, and I had to know.

  Alice : Know what?

  Rumpelstiltskin : Well, I've been searching for someone - a very powerful person, who's gonna do something far greater than anyone has ever done before. And Alice, that person... is you.

• Margot : Sorry, I got waylaid by some hot chocolate. So yummy. I may never leave this place. Oh, look what else I found.

  Tilly : [Margot hands her the friendship bracelet]  Is that one of yours?

  Margot : No. It's one of yours. I saw it at the counter, and it reminded me of you for some reason. I know we aren't exactly in Thailand, but this felt like an adventure to me.

• Alice : What do you think it's like there, where your Belle is?

  Rumpelstiltskin : I don't know.

  Alice : I hope it's somewhere where you get to be with the people you love forever, and you don't have to think about life anymore. That's how it should be. 'cause I know what it's like to watch the world go by and... not be in it. It's terribly lonely.

  Rumpelstiltskin : Yes, it is.

  Alice : I suppose I won't have to worry about that now. I'm in the world forever. No more towers for me.

• Alice : [Rumpel stops her from absorbing the dagger's power]  What did you do?

  Rumpelstiltskin : I did what I had to. I made a promise that when I passed this on, it wouldn't be a burden. And that's exactly what it will be for you.

  Alice : I don't understand.

  Rumpelstiltskin : Immortality... is just another tower. You deserve better than that. You're gonna fall in love, grow old with someone, live a normal life free of towers.

  Alice : But what will happen to you?

  Rumpelstiltskin : I guess I'll just have to find another way, even if that means I'll lose the battle with the darkness to do so.

  Alice : No, you won't. I won't let that happen, no matter what. I know who you really are, and I won't let you forget it.
