- Seraphina: How many are dead?
- Mother Gothel: All of them. I wiped the land clean.
- Seraphina: May the Gods forgive.
- Mother Gothel: There's nothing to forgive. It's not even permanent. Some slimy lump will flop ashore, crawl towards humanity again. And as is their way, it'll be worse. I shudder at the thought of what destructive civilization they'll create next. This time, they'll do it alone in a cold world because now they've created something that's never been before. A land without magic.
- Eloise Gardener: Nature's witches, words unheard, our wishes worthless, worse than dirt. Until we learned what we were worth, to turn our hurts into your burns. Our purest urges now emerge. Old for nursery, dark for church. Close the circle. Purge the earth.
- Jacinda Vidrio: You can't be Lucy's father because you and I, we never...
- Henry Mills: Maybe... You ever been to Cabo?
- Rogers: I took your suggestion and looked at Nick Branson's M.E. report, and it doesn't make any sense. It says he was stabbed from the inside.
- Drew: I told you Samdi was powerful.
- Rogers: No, you see, I'm gonna need you to be more descriptive than that. How did he do this?
- Drew: He used magic.
- Rogers: Magic. So that's your story.
- Drew: Magic is real, Detective.
- Rogers: Magic is a fairy tale.
- Drew: Yes, it is. It's not from this land, a land without magic. But there are shreds of it that have made their way over. The sooner you accept that, the more likely that you're gonna survive.
- Eloise Gardener: I just want to talk.
- Tilly: Why the hell would I want to talk to you?
- Eloise Gardener: Because I'm your mother.
- Tilly: ...No. That's not possible. My mother left years ago. So either you're a liar, or a monster. Because what kind of woman abandons her child?
- Eloise Gardener: I know I was selfish. And it's no excuse, but the world was... it was cruel to me. And I became cruel, too.
- Eloise Gardener: I've been a gardener my whole life, and I can honestly say there's no greater pest than humanity.
- Baron Samdi: You're not the only one who wants this curse broken. A storm of witches is brewing, and if we're going to survive, I'm going to need magic. All of us will.
- Drew: Why do you think Nick was killing all those women, anyway?
- Rogers: He was targeting a cult.
- Drew: Not a cult. A coven. He was hunting down witches.
- Rogers: There's no such thing.
- Drew: And there's no way a man can be stabbed from the inside. Believe whatever you like, Detective, but there is a war brewing, and no one in this city is safe.
- Lucy Vidrio: [to Jacinda] Truth is, I'm not looking for things to help me forget about Nick being my dad. I'm looking for things that say Henry Mills is. I know it seems impossible, but you once drove me to a boat and told me to believe in you, that we could run away together, and I did. Now I'm asking you to do the same. Believe with me this is possible.
- Jacinda Vidrio: If I'm Cinderella, then where's my blue dress? My glass slipper? My sanity for even having this conversation?
