- Emma Swan: Hook, what's wrong? You gave Ursula everything she wanted.
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: But I almost didn't, love. I was so desperate to figure out what the Crocodile was up to, I almost became the man I used to be. You have no idea how easy it is to fall back into the darkness.
- Emma Swan: Whatever mistakes you made with Ursula, you fixed.
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: Aye. But it's a stark reminder of something.
- Emma Swan: What?
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: With all this talk of authors and the book, we've never discussed one fact: I was a villain.
- Emma Swan: But you're not anymore.
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: Neither is Regina, but she still lost her happy ending. If we're to believe the rules of the book, then it's only a matter of time before I lose mine.
- Emma Swan: Wait. If you're afraid of losing your happy ending, that means you found it. What is it?
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: Don't you know, Emma? It's you.
- Cruella De Vil: I knew she didn't have the stomach for this.
- Regina Mills: Please. I was torturing people back when you were still playing with puppies.
- Ursula: How are you still breathing?
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: I'm good at surviving. Or you're bad at killing.
