Quotes 

• David Nolan : I'm here to buy something... a way to find someone.

  Mr. Gold : What, like a map?

  David Nolan : Something with a bit more kick. Like the ring you gave me to find Snow.

  Mr. Gold : Ah, yeah. Magic. Whom are you following?

  David Nolan : Not telling.

  Mr. Gold : So, do you have something of theirs, this missing person?

  David Nolan : Yes.

  Mr. Gold : May I see it?

  David Nolan : No.

  [smiles at Mr. Gold who chuckles back] 

• Rumplestiltskin : [to Regina]  I know everything about you, my dear. I held you in my arms. You were younger, more... portable. There is much history between your family and me... history both in the past and in the future.

• Regina : Rumplesh... shtilts... Rumpleshtiltskin, I summon thee.

  Rumplestiltskin : That's not how you say it, dearie. But then, you didn't have to say anything.

  Regina : What are you?

  Rumplestiltskin : What? What? What? My, my, what a rude question. I am not a what.

  Regina : Sorry. I don't really know what I'm doing.

  Rumplestiltskin : That much is clear.

• Rumplestiltskin : It's been some time; but I knew this day would come. I've been waiting for it. And I'm so happy... we're back where we belong.

  Regina : Where's that?

  Rumplestiltskin : Together.

• Mr. Gold : It appears when I bought that "Closed" sign, I was just throwing my money away.

  [when David enters Mr. Gold's shop uninvited] 

• Mr. Gold : Leave. Please.

  Regina Mills : Well... how about that? Your "pleases" have lost their punch.

  Mr. Gold : Well, the fact remains... jump-starting your magic is not in my best interests.

  Regina Mills : You know what else isn't in your best interest? Having everyone know the Enchanted Forest still exists. Knowing that you and I are keeping that little secret. You're up to something. And it doesn't involve going back home.

• Regina : [referring to her mother]  People say I look like her when she was younger.

  Rumplestiltskin : Really? I don't see it.

• Mr. Gold : [handing Regina the book of spells]  Careful, dearie. These are straight-up spells - rough on the system.

  Regina Mills : I don't care if they turn me green. I'm getting my son back!

  Mr. Gold : Oh, my!

  Regina Mills : What?

  Mr. Gold : [indicating the book]  It's just holding that. I told you once you didn't look like her, but now... now I can see it.

• [Regina has returned the book of spells to Rumplestiltskin] 

  Rumplestiltskin : Before you go... answer me this: how did it feel?

  Regina : I love my mother...

  Rumplestiltskin : That's not what I asked, dearie. How did it feel, to use magic?

  Regina : It doesn't matter. I'll never use it again.

  Rumplestiltskin : Why not?

  Regina : Because I loved it!

  Rumplestiltskin : [squeals in delight]  You've discovered who you are. You could do so much now. If-you-let-me-show-you-how.

  Regina : Through magic.

  Rumplestiltskin : Through many things.

  Regina : And what do you get out of it?

  Rumplestiltskin : Someday... you'll do something for me. Let me guide you.

  Regina : And I won't become like her?

  Rumplestiltskin : That, dearie, is entirely up... to you.

• Regina : Can you help me?

  Rumplestiltskin : Possibly, yes. You seek power?

  [Regina shakes her head] 

  Rumplestiltskin : The death of your enemies?

  [Regina shakes her head] 

  Rumplestiltskin : The death of your friends?

  Regina : No. I don't want to hurt anyone.

  Rumplestiltskin : Hard to believe you're from the same family.
