Once Upon a Time2011

David Nolan:
[to the townspeople trying to leave Storybrooke] If you cross that line, you're gonna be lost! Everyone who loves you will lose you. But there's something worse: you'll lose yourself. Look, I get wanting to leave here, I do. And I get that it's easier to let go of bad memories, but... even bad memories are part of us. David, Storybrooke David, was, is... weak. Confused. And he hurt the woman I love. I wouldn't give up being Charming just to be him. But you know what? I wouldn't make the other trade either. Because that David reminds me not only of whom I lost... but of who I want to be. My weaknesses and my strengths, David and the Prince, I am both. Just like you. You are both. The town is both. We are both. Stay here, and every choice is open to you. Live in the woods, if you want. Hell, live in a shoe, if you want! Or eat frozen burritos and write software. Let's open Granny's, and the school, and get back to work. I will protect you. She won't be able to hurt any of us, not as long as I'm alive. Not as long as we all come together. As we did before! As we shall do again.
