Once Upon a Time, Season 1

Rumplestiltskin:
You had a life, Belle, before this; friends, family. What made you choose to come here with me?

Belle:
Heroism. Sacrifice. You know, there aren't a lot of opportunities for women in this land, to show what they can do; to see the world, to be heroes. So when you arrived, that was my chance. I always wanted to be brave. I figured, do the brave thing and bravery would follow.

Rumplestiltskin:
And is it everything you hoped?

Belle:
Well, I did want to see the world. That part didn't really work out, but I did save my village.

Rumplestiltskin:
And what about your betrothed?

Belle:
It was an arranged marriage. Honestly, I never really cared that much for Gaston. To me, love is layered. Love is a mystery to be uncovered. I could never truly give my heart to someone as superficial as he. But you were going to tell me about your son.

Rumplestiltskin:
I'll tell you what. I'll make you a deal: go to town and fetch me some straw. When you return, I'll share my tale.

Belle:
Town? You trust me to come back?

Rumplestiltskin:
Oh, no. I expect I'll never see you again.
