Once Upon a Time2011

Henry Mills:
Why are you so nervous? When I found my mom, I was excited.

Mr. Gold:
Because I have the benefit of a little more... life experience. I know that things don't always happen... the way we want them to.

Henry Mills:
Sure, but... in the book, it says that you could see the future. Why can't you just look and see what's gonna happen?

Mr. Gold:
Well, that ability is... complicated. I didn't always have it. And then, when I did... well... it's maybe not the gift one would expect. Seeing the inevitable... can be a terrible price.

Henry Mills:
But you wouldn't have to worry about stuff. You'd just know.

Mr. Gold:
But that's the great trap. The future... is like a puzzle, with missing pieces - difficult to read, and never, never what you think.
