Quotes
-
Regina Mills : Surprised you don't have armed guards 'round the clock.
David Nolan : Don't need 'em. We both know if you step outside, there's a line a mile long for your head.
-
Archie Hopper : Regina. I thought you might want to talk.
Regina Mills : Oh, right, the conscience thing.
Archie Hopper : It's what I do.
Regina Mills : I'm in no mood.
Archie Hopper : It's too bad, 'cause... 'cause I think talking about your pain might be very helpful. Might help you learn who you truly are.
Regina Mills : [with quiet intensity] I know who I am.
-
Regina : Daddy, you don't know what Mother's doing to me. It's like she's turning me into her. I have to get away.
Henry : Get away? But tomorrow's the wedding, child.
Regina : I don't want to marry the king. I've told you that.
Henry : Are you certain it isn't just cold feet?
Regina : Daddy, this is not cold feet. This, this is... this is insanity! I'm angry all the time. She's making me crazy.
Henry : She wants to give you everything she never got for herself.
Regina : I don't want her life! I want a life of my own.
-
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.
-
Regina Mills : [to her son] I don't know how to love very well. I wasn't capable of it for a very long time. But I know, I remember... that if you hold on to someone too hard, that doesn't make them love you. I'm sorry I lied to you, that I made you feel like I didn't know who you are. But I want you to be here because you want to be here, not because I forced you. And not because of magic. I want to redeem myself.
-
Regina Mills : Maybe you should be less concerned with hats, and more concerned with taking care of my son.
David Nolan : [sarcastically] Oh, because you took such great care of him.
Regina Mills : I will not listen to childcare lectures from a man who put his daughter in a box and shipped her to Maine.
-
David Nolan : Frustrated, are we? Serves you right. You earned every bit of this.
Regina Mills : Keep on baiting me, Charming! Right now I don't have magic and I don't have my son, but when I get one, I get the other. And you don't want to be around when that happens.
David Nolan : If you have to use magic to keep your son, you don't really have him.
-
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.
-
Henry Mills : How long am I in prison? Till I grow up?
Regina Mills : Henry, I rescued you because I love you.
Henry Mills : So I'm a prisoner because you love me. That's not fair.
Regina Mills : You know where I come from. *That* was really not fair. Of all the places I've seen, *this* is the fairest of them all.
-
Regina Mills : You can have all the friends you want come over anytime, and you can show them everything in your book.
Henry Mills : No one's gonna want to come over here. They're scared of you.
Regina Mills : You can make them not be scared. You can make them love you.
Henry Mills : I don't want that. I don't want to be you.
-
Cora : The king's not a strong man. The kingdom will be yours. Raise the tributes, form a personal guard. Let everyone know where the new power lies, and you'll hold the hearts of your people in your hands.
Regina : Is that what you would do, Mother?
Cora : That's exactly what I would do.
Regina : Well, the thing is, I don't want to be you.
-
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.
