Once Upon a Time, Season 1

Henry Sr.:
Did Rumplestiltskin tell you what you needed to know?

Evil Queen:
Yes.

Henry Sr.:
And?

Evil Queen:
I'm not sure I should say. I'm conflicted.

Henry Sr.:
How bad is it? Maybe I can help.

Evil Queen:
I have to cut out the heart of the thing I love most.

Henry Sr.:
Me.

Evil Queen:
Daddy, I don't know what to do.

Henry Sr.:
My dear, please, you don't have to do this.

Evil Queen:
I have to do something.

Henry Sr.:
Then move past this. I know this may sound self-serving, but you don't need to enact the curse.

Evil Queen:
But I can't keep living like this. What Snow did to me, what she took from me, it's eating me alive, Daddy. Her very existence mocks me. She must be punished.

Henry Sr.:
But, if the price is a hole that will never be filled - why do it? Stop worrying -about Snow White - and start over. We could have a new life.

Evil Queen:
What kind of life? All I've worked for, all I've built will be gone. My power will disappear. They already think I'm nothing.

Henry Sr.:
Power is seductive. But so is love. You can have that again.

Evil Queen:
I just want to be happy.

Henry Sr.:
You can be. Of this I'm sure. I believe, given a chance, we can find happiness, together - but the choice is yours.

Evil Queen:
I think you're right. I can be happy. Just not here. (suddenly kills her father, then saddens at her act) I'm sorry.
