- Snow White: We need to discuss the deal you made with Charming.
- Rumplestiltskin: Have to be a bit more specific, dearie.
- Snow White: He came to you searching for something powerful enough to vanquish the Queen. You told him of Excalibur. Now whatever it is that he promised you in return, I am prepared to pay it. I won't allow him to remain in your debt.
- Rumplestiltskin: How nauseatingly romantic.
- Snow White: You realize, this is the first time we've been alone since you proposed?
- Prince Charming: Well, privacy is a hard thing to come by when you have seven big brothers keeping an eye on you.
- Snow White: They're protective!
- Prince Charming: Well, that's one word for it.
- Snow White: [amused] Have the dwarfs been giving you a hard time?
- Prince Charming: Apart from accusing me of being a gold-digging, social-climbing shepherd? Nah.
- Evil Queen: You have until sundown tomorrow to give up the throne. And for every day that you defy me, I will kill one of your loyal subjects. Stop denying who you are, Snow White. You may have been a princess, but you will *never* be a queen.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: Maybe who you think you are isn't who you really are.
- Emma Swan: What do you mean?
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: Sometimes we think we know ourselves, but... we need a push to show us the reality. That boy with the knife - you stopped fighting him. Why?
- Emma Swan: 'cause he was... just a boy.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: No. There was something else. I saw it in your eyes. Why did you stop? Why?
- Emma Swan: Because when I looked at his face, I saw me.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: Go on.
- Emma Swan: [becoming emotional] That look in his eyes... the despair. I had it, back when I was in the foster system. Just a lost little girl, who didn't matter, and didn't think she ever would. A little girl, who cried herself to sleep at night 'cause... she wanted her parents so bad. And could never understand... why they gave her up.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: And then you found us. It was too late.
- Emma Swan: It's just, on this island, I, I don't feel like... a hero or a savior. I just feel like what I've always been. An orphan.
- [last lines]
- Peter Pan: There's a reason I tested you.
- Emma Swan: Really?
- Peter Pan: You haven't forgiven your parents for abandoning you. Don't deny it. You haven't. That's good. Really good. 'cause when you find Henry, you'll understand him.
- Emma Swan: What's that supposed to mean?
- Peter Pan: He hasn't forgiven you either. By the time you get to him, he'll never want to leave this island.
- Emma Swan: We'll see.
- Peter Pan: And as for you, Emma... when we're finished, you won't just feel like an orphan. You'll be one.
- Emma Swan: [At the blank parchment] My name is Emma Swan.
- Hook: I'd wager the solution to Pan's riddle is a bit more complicated than that.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: Don't hold anything back.
- Emma Swan: I'm Henry's mother. I used to live in Boston, and I was a bailbondsperson. I'm now the sheriff of Storybrooke.
- Regina Mills: That election was a sham.
- David Nolan: I thought we decided that using magic was a bad idea.
- Hook: For once I agree with the prince.
- [David looks at him]
- Hook: Well, I told you we're getting along.
- Hook: I can assure you, on this island, I am not the bad guy.
- Emma Swan: Yeah, well, Pan's not supposed to be one either.
- Hook: What possibly gave you that idea?
- Emma Swan: Every story I ever heard as a child.
- Hook: Well, they got it all wrong. Pan is the most treacherous villain I've ever faced. Tell me something, love. In these stories what was I like? Other than a villain. Handsome, I gather.
- Emma Swan: If waxed moustaches and perms are your thing.
- Hook: I take it by your tone, perms are bad?
- Rumplestiltskin: Magic can't make someone believe, dearie. It works the other way around. Belief must come from within
- Snow White: I'm no queen. I'm no leader. I'm just a girl who lost her parents, ran away into the woods, and became a bandit.
- Prince Charming: You're Snow White.
- Snow White: Yes. And the truth is, I don't even know who that is. But I know what I don't wanna be, and that's alone.
