Killian Jones:
You're telling me that in this other reality, I'm an expert with such a weapon?

Emma Swan:
You're a regular Jack Sparrow.

Killian Jones:
Is that good?

Emma Swan:
Here. Let me show you how to use it. [She gets behind him and takes his arms in hers]

Killian Jones:
Oh. [Chuckles. Emma guides his arm as he unsheathes his sword and sways the blade in various fighting positions]

Emma Swan:
They say that once you become an expert, your subconscious takes over and does the work for you. Back in my world, that's what we call "muscle memory."

Killian Jones:
[He puts the blade back into his sheath] Tell me more about this reality you want to return to. Us, for example. I sense that we, uh, we may be close?

Emma Swan:
[Smiles] Very.

Killian Jones:
[Sheepishly] Really? Well, I'm starting to get jealous of the other me.

Emma Swan:
[laughs] Let's see what food Henry's discovered. I'm starving. [They begin to head into town, but are cut short when Lily appears. Emma and Killian all draw their swords]

Lily Page:
There they are. [Queen Snow White and Charming follow suit, along with some more Black Knights] As I told you, my Queen. The one-handed pirate was helping them, and the boy was with them as well.

Grumpy:
[Draws his sword] Tell us where the child is hiding!

Emma Swan:
Hey! Back off, dwarf! [Angry, she pushes him to the ground] Or I'm gonna change your name to Stumpy!

Mary Margaret Blanchard:
I know you. You're... Emma, the mad hag who was locked in the tower. I almost didn't recognize you out of your chains.

Emma Swan:
You're the one that's hard to recognize, both of you. This isn't who you are.

Mary Margaret Blanchard:
Tell me. Who are we?

Emma Swan:
You're my parents. I'm the product of your true love. [Talking about Snow and David] You taught me how to be a hero, you taught me how to believe in hope, and I do. And now, I need you to believe in it too.

Mary Margaret Blanchard:
[Her eyes widen, then looks at Emma as if in realization] You're right. Emma. Hope is a very powerful thing. [Her warm, almost maternal smile drops and returns to a sadistic grin] Which is why I'm going to have to snuff it out of you and that awful son of yours. [to her soldiers] Kill them.

David Nolan:
Wait. [He spots Henry entering and points him out to the Queen] There he is.

Mary Margaret Blanchard:
My, my. I am going to enjoy watching him die in front of his mother.

Killian Jones:
[Whispers] Save Henry.

Emma Swan:
Killian, you can't beat them.

Killian Jones:
If I can help return things to how they were meant to be, then what happens to me here won't matter now, will it? Now go. Save your boy. [Realising Killian is right, Emma rushes to protect Henry while a battle ensues between the Black Guard and Hook. Hook kicks over some heavy bags of flour, knocking out Lily and her fellow soldiers. Killian's attention turns to Charming]

David Nolan:
Is she worth your life, pirate?

Killian Jones:
I'm willing to find out. [the two men begin to duel. At first, Charming has the upper hand and nearly corners Killian, but Hook presses just hard enough to send Charming's sword flying out of his hand and pushes Charming to the ground. He chuckles slightly] What do you know? I'm a natural. [the Queen steps forward. Hook raises his sword] Hey! What about you, Your Majesty? Shall I make it quick while - [He is cut short as Charming gets back up, takes his sword, and stabs through Hook's back]

Rumplestiltskin:
I'm waiting! [Regina appears from a cloud of purple smoke] What took you so long, dearie?

The Evil Queen:
You know what took so long...

Rumplestiltskin:
Oh, yes, the curse. You did it.

The Evil Queen:
That's right, I did it. And I wanted you to know it before you, like all the pathetic denizens of this wretched land, forgets everything.

Rumplestiltskin:
How did it feel?

The Evil Queen:
Watching the curse cloud form? Felt like victory.

Rumplestiltskin:
[laughing] How did it feel to kill the thing you love most? Ripping the heart out of your father how did that feel?

The Evil Queen:
It was the price of the curse, how it felt doesn't matter. He would've understood. I took my life back. I had to. I won.

Rumplestiltskin:
And yet, here you are, feeling the need to gloat. Something's missing isn't it, dearie?

The Evil Queen:
Not at all, I have everything I want. Nothing can stop me now.

Rumplestiltskin:
[laughing] Not quite.

The Evil Queen:
What does that mean?

Rumplestiltskin:
The savior, the child of Snow White and Prince Charming. She can stop you. She can break the curse.

The Evil Queen:
Well, it looks like getting rid of a baby just made my to do list.

Rumplestiltskin:
Of course it did, but even if you succeed with that, you have an even bigger problem. Now there's a hole in your heart and someday you will come to me to fill it.

The Evil Queen:
You over estimate your powers of foresight.

Rumplestiltskin:
And you underestimate the price of what you've done. You shall see you will come to me. There is more you need.

The Evil Queen:
Your taunts will get you nowhere. I know you too well. You wanna make another deal. Well, I won't.

Rumplestiltskin:
A deal? You've already promised me a good life in this new land, what more could I want from you?

The Evil Queen:
Oh, to be let out of this cage, to be let out of our last deal, to escape the curse...

Rumplestiltskin:
But why would I desire that, dearie? I'm exactly where I want to be.

Mr. Gold:
[Seeing the destroyed apple tree] What a mess.

Regina Mills:
Not for long. What can i do for you Mr. Gold?

Mr. Gold:
I was just in the neighborhood, thought I'd stop by. Lovely to see you in such high spirits.

Regina Mills:
Well it's been a good day. I just rid the town of an unwanted nuisance.

Mr. Gold:
Emma Swan. Really?

Regina Mills:
Yes. I imagine she's half way to Boston by now.

Mr. Gold:
I wouldn't bet on that. I've just seen her strolling down main street with your boy, thick as thieves they looked.

Regina Mills:
What?

Mr. Gold:
Perhaps you should've come to me. If Miss. Swan is a problem you can't fix, I'm only too happy to help, for a price of course.

Regina Mills:
I'm not in the business of making deals with you any more.

Mr. Gold:
To which deal are you referring?

Regina Mills:
You know what deal.

Mr. Gold:
Oh, right yeah. The boy i procured for you. Henry. Ever tell you what a lovely name that was? However did you pick it?

Regina Mills:
Did you want her to come to town? You wanted all of this to happen didn't you? Your finding Henry wasn't an accident was it?

Mr. Gold:
What ever do you mean?

Regina Mills:
Where did you get him? Do you know something?

Mr. Gold:
I have no idea what your implying.

Regina Mills:
I think you do. Who is this woman, his mother, this Emma Swan?

Mr. Gold:
I would say you think you know exactly who she is. I really must be going.

Regina Mills:
Tell me what you know about her!

Mr. Gold:
I'm not going to answer you dear, so i suggest you excuse me... Please.
