"I can get you out." "I'll try and stall the Queen." "The rest is up to you." "(Grunts) Your weapon and some provisions." "Good luck." " You're not coming with me?" " I cannot."

"(Panting)" " There's no pupil response." "What happened?" "Did he fall, hit his head?" "He ate this." "I think it's poisoned." "His airway's clear." "Did he vomit?" "Any convulsion or disorientation?" "He took a bite of this, and then he just collapsed, so run the test for arsenic or bleach or Drano" " or whatever could've done this to him!" " The boy is showing no symptoms that would suggest neurotoxins, so whatever's going on, this is not the culprit!" "Well, what else could it be?" "(Panting)" "I don't know." "That's what I'm trying to find out." "He's gonna be okay, though, right?" "Right now we just need to stabilize him, 'cause he's slipping away." "Is there anything else that you can remember, any little detail?" "I already told you everything." "Do something!" "Look, I understand you're frustrated, Ms. Swan." "I do, but I need something to treat, and right now there is no explanation." "It's like... (Sighs)" "Like magic." "(Henry) Every story in this book actually happened." " Good-bye, Emma." " You should know more than anyone, because you're in this book." "(Whispers) Find us." "(Panting) Where's my son?" "(Lowered voice) You did this." "(Gasps) No." "(Grunts)" "You did this!" "What the hell are you doing?" "!" "(Grunts)" "(Grunts) Stop this!" "My son..." "Is sick because of you!" "That apple turnover you gave me... he ate it!" "(Whispers) What?" "(Normal voice) It was meant for you!" "(Panting)" " It's true, isn't it?" "(Panting)" " What are you talking about?" "It's true, isn't it?" "!" "All of it." "(Sighs, voice breaking) Yes." "(Voice breaking) I was leaving town." "Why couldn't you just leave things alone?" "Because as long as you're alive, Henry will never be mine!" "He'll never be anyone's unless you fix this." "You wake him up!" "I can't!" "Don't you have magic?" "(Sighs and sniffles) That was the last of it." "It was supposed to put you to sleep!" "What's it gonna do to him?" "(Panting) I don't know." "Magic here is unpredictable." "(Whispers) So... (Voice breaks) So he could..." " Yes." "(Breathing heavily)" "So what do we do?" "We need help. (Sighs)" "There's one other person in this town who knows about this..." "(Inhales deeply and sighs)" "Knows about magic." "(Sighs) Mr. Gold." "Actually, he goes by "Rumplestiltskin."" "Where is he?" " The prisoner!" " Escaped." "(Whoosh)" "(Grunts) A palace full of guards, and you let him escape?" "I did my best." "You failed, and do you know what happens to people who fail me, Huntsman?" "I'll find him." "You needn't worry." "Leave him to me." "(Tinkling)" "That won't be necessary." "He's mine." "(Whoosh)" "(Grunting) Ohh!" "(Pants)" "(Birds chirping)" "Lost, are we?" "(Panting)" " What are you doing here?" " I'm just here to help." "Well, no need." "I'll be fine." "No, I don't think so." "This is the Infinite Forest." "There's no way out." "Well, except... my way." "I want nothing from you." "Not even this?" "My mother's ring." "It was just..." "How did you get it?" "!" "The same way I get everything I want..." "Magic..." "The same magic that allows me to do..." "This." "This ring is now enchanted." "The closer you get to Snow White, the brighter it will glow." " Interested?" " Give it to me." "Ah!" "It's not something for nothing, dearie." "Time to make a deal." "No!" "No more deals!" "(Blade zings and whooshes)" "(Grunts) (Singsongy) Mm." "Aah!" "(Whooshes)" "Over here." "(Grunting) (Clanking)" "Aah!" "Persistent." "(Grunting)" "(Thud) (Grunts)" "(Whoosh) (Grunts, panting) (Whooshes)" "(Clanking)" "(Grunts) (Bones crunch)" "(Pants) Had enough?" "Never. (Grunts)" "(Grunts) (Blade zings)" "(Chuckles) Mm." "(Whoosh)" "Aah!" "(Thud) (Grunts)" " (Whoosh)" " Aah." "Looking for this?" "So brave." "So gallant." "So pointless." "Bravery won't get you out of this forest, dearie." "Magic will." "Trust me." "This is a deal you want to make, because we both want the same thing." "What's that?" "Why, you and your true love to be together, of course." "(High-pitched voice) Hmm?" "Hey." "David." "I was wrong... (Sighs)" "About you, about me, about..." "Everything." "I didn't believe in you, and I wish I had a good reason why..." "But it's like I keep making these wrong decisions, and I don't understand why they keep happening." "You know, ever since I woke up from that coma, my life hasn't made a lick of sense," "except for you..." "And what I'm feeling... (Chuckles)" "It's love, Mary Margaret." "David, why are you here?" "Because Kathryn put a down payment on an apartment in Boston." "She's not gonna use it, but I am." "Unless you give me a reason to stay." "(Whispers) David." "(Chuckles)" "I can't." "(Sighs)" "Behold." "The most powerful magic of all..." "True love." "Ah!" "Careful." "This is all I have left of it." "What do you know of true love?" "Well, not so much as you, perhaps, but not so little as you might think." "You?" "You loved someone?" "It was a brief flicker of light amidst an ocean of darkness." "What happened?" "She died." "That's the thing about true love, dearie." "It can slip through your fingers." "It's the most powerful magic in the world, the only magic powerful enough to break any curse." "It must be protected at all costs." "I don't understand." "What exactly is it you want me to do?" "I want you to help me protect it by putting it in a safe place for me." "(Whoosh)" "And where is that?" "Inside the belly of a beast, of course." "(Giggles)" "Why hide it?" "Let's just say, I'm saving it for a rainy day." "(Giggles)" "(Door bell jingling)" "(Door closes) Do my eyes deceive me, or is that the look of a believer?" " We need your help." " Indeed you do." "It seems quite the tragic ailment has befallen our young friend." "I told you, magic comes with a price." "Henry shouldn't have to pay it." "No, you should, but alas, we are where we are." "Can you help us?" "Of course." "True love, Ms. Swan... the only magic powerful enough to transcend realms and break any curse." "Luckily for you, I happen to have bottled some." " (Voice breaks) You did?" " Oh, yes." "From strands of your parents' hair," "I made the most powerful potion in all the realm, so powerful that when I created the dark curse," "I placed a single drop on the parchment." "Just a little safety valve." "That's why I'm the savior." "That's why I can break the curse." "Now you're getting it." "I don't care about breaking the curse." "All I care about is saving Henry." "Which is why it's your lucky day." "I didn't use all the potion." "I saved some for a rainy day." "Well, it's storming like a bitch." "Where is it?" "Where it is isn't the problem." "Getting it is what should worry you." "Enough riddles." "What do we do?" "You do nothing." "It has to be Ms. Swan." "He's my son." "It should be me." "All due respect, but it's her son, and it has to be her." "She's the product of the magic." "She must be the one to find it." "I can do it." "Don't trust him." "What choice do we have?" "That's right, dearie." "What choice do you have?" "Where is this magic?" "Tell me, your Majesty, is our friend still in the basement?" "Oh, you twisted little imp." "You hid it with her?" "Oh, no, not with her." "In her." "I knew you couldn't resist bringing her over." "Who is "her"?" "Someone you should be prepared for." "Where you're going, you're going to need this." "What is that?" "Your father's sword." "(Monitor beeping steadily)" "Henry... (Whispering) You were right about the curse." "I should have believed you." "I'm sorry." "For when you wake up." "Say what you gotta say." "You got ten minutes." " You know where to meet?" " Yeah." "Don't be late." "(Sighs)" "I'm sorry." "Pity, isn't it?" "There's nothing harder than not knowing whether you'll ever see your child again." "Jefferson, now is not a good time." "For you." "Well, for me, it's the perfect time." "I'm here to collect." "(Sighs) Where..." "where is she... my daughter?" "Emma was supposed to eat that apple, and she didn't." "As far as I'm concerned, that makes our deal null and void." "I did what you asked, and you're gonna screw me over again?" "Look at it however you want, Jefferson." "The fact is, I'm done with you." "But I'm..." "I'm not done with you." "What are you going to do?" "Kill me?" "I know you want to, but I also know you can't." "Do you?" "(Scoffs)" "Yes." "You don't have it in you." "Now if you excuse me... (Whispers) I have to save my son." "(Footsteps depart)" "August?" "Please open up." "I know you're in there." "Open the door." "(August) I can't." "No." "What's happening to you?" "You can see it now." "(Whispers) You believe." "Yeah." "I do, but..." "H-how do I stop this?" "Break the curse." "I'll try." "I promise, but I gotta save Henry first, and I need your help." "No, you don't." "Yeah, I do." "This is all too much." "I-I just..." "Talked to the evil Queen and Rumplestiltskin about a quest to find magic." "I can't do it, August." "I can't." "No normal person can." "Luckily for us, you're not normal." "You can save Henry." "You can save all of... (Grunts)" "August?" "(Sighs)" "(Crying)" "(Keys jangle)" "(Switch clicks) What is this place?" "Would you like a tour, or shall we just get to it?" "Lead the way." "(Sighs)" "(Whoosh)" "Whoa." "(Clank)" "(Grunts)" "(Whirs)" "(Whirring)" "Get in." "After you." "It's a 2-man job." "The elevator's hand-operated." "I have to stay up here and lower you down." "And I'm just supposed to trust you?" "I don't think you have much choice in the matter, Ms. Swan." "This battle I'm supposed to fight... who is it?" "What is down there?" "An old friend." "Then why don't you go talk to them?" "Because her punishment here was different than everyone else's." "I trapped her..." "In a different form." "She doesn't wanna hear from me." "You have to trust me on that." "Okay." "I will go down there." "But let's be clear about something..." ""Your Majesty."" "The only reason you're not dead is because I need your help to save Henry." "If he dies..." "So do you." "Well, then let's get on with it." "Now this is what you're going to have to do." "(Blade zings)" "Where is it?" "Where is the beast that reigns over this castle?" "(Whoosh) (Grunts and pants)" "That would be me." "But "beast" is so harsh." "I prefer "maleficent."" "(Sighs) I'm gonna need a smaller egg." "Such a shame." "So handsome."

"Very impressive, indeed." "Come warm yourself." "I have done what you've asked." "Return my ring to me." "Of course." "You're in a bit of a rush." "How rude of me." "With this..."
