Alice Jones/Quotes

## After Fourth Curse

### *Beauty* (Season 7, Episode 4)

**Alice Jones**: (*whilst chasing a rabbit, Alice bumps into Rumplestiltskin*) Oh, wonderful! I lost him because of you, and there's no time to chase him down again. Who the hell do you think you are?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Who I am doesn't matter.

**Alice Jones**: (*Henry drives past on his motorcycle*) Strangers here for the ball just keep getting stranger and stranger. Are you here for the ball? The prince is looking for a bride, if the shoe fits. Are you looking for a prince?

**Rumplestiltskin**: No, dearie. I'm looking for someone much more important.

**Alice Jones**: Ooh. I like a good puzzle. My name's Alice.

### *Hyperion Heights* (Season 7, Episode 1)

**Henry Mills**: Wait, "Alice"? You're *the* Alice? From Wonderland?

**Alice Jones**: And other places! Gah, you have one weird trip and it's all anyone knows about you.

**Henry Mills**: Okay, well, I don't know what this is all about, Alice from wherever, but I got to get back now.

**Alice Jones**: Oh, no. You can't do that.

**Henry Mills**: Why not?

**Alice Jones**: Because this isn't your story, Henry Mills.

**Henry Mills**: How do you know who I am?

**Alice Jones**: I don't. But Rumplestiltskin does.

**Henry Mills**: You know Rumple?

**Alice Jones**: Don't you know by now your grandpa knows everyone? He's watching out for you.

**Henry Mills**: Okay, look, I don't have time for mind games.

**Alice Jones**: This isn't a game. Trust me. When it's not your story, bad things happen.

**Henry Mills**: You gonna stop me?

**Alice Jones**: Oh, no. When bad things happen I want to be far, far away. Forget that Cinderella and go home.

**Henry Mills**: When someone needs help, I help them.

### *The Girl in the Tower* (Season 7, Episode 14)

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: You're Alice. Nook's kid.

**Alice Jones**: Nook?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: "New Hook"... it's a thing that my mom and... you know what? Doesn't matter. Wow. So *you're* the girl in the tower.

**Alice Jones**: I got out of that tower years ago.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: So I heard. I thought Henry and Ella left you in Wonderland looking for a cure for your father.

**Alice Jones**: Well, they did, but I failed.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: I'm sorry. I know he misses you.

**Alice Jones**: How do you know my papa?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: I'm a part of the team. You know; my mom and aunt, your dad, a bunch of other people I don't really know. Kind of new here. Name's Robin.

**Alice Jones**: "New Robin." So, Nobin?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Yeah, don't call me that.

**Alice Jones**: But if Papa's "Nook," it only follows that you should be "Nobin," right?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: It's just different.

**Alice Jones**: How?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: It's just not cool, okay?

**Alice Jones**: Cool? Why would you want to be cool?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: It must be hard for you... Being locked up again.

**Alice Jones**: The day I got out of that tower was a bloody dream come true... At least at first.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Why? What happened?

**Alice Jones**: I thought I'd find a way for me and Papa to be together again. 'Cause what's the point of being free if you're all alone?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Back where I'm from, I was *never* alone. That's when I felt the most trapped.

**Alice Jones**: At least you had people. I talked to a hat.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Seriously, Storybrooke was insufferably quaint. Everybody knew your name and all your business. And one night I just had enough.

**Alice Jones**: What'd you do?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: I hot-wired the Sheriff's Yellow Bug. I stole it. I would have hit New York by morning if she hadn't caught me. But for eight glorious minutes it was just me and that Bug and the wide-open road.

**Alice Jones**: You rode a bug?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: No, no, no. A Bug is a type of car. Here. Let me show you. (*gets her phone out*) See?

**Alice Jones**: What is this thing? It's magic!

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: No, it's not magic. It's called a smartphone. It held my entire life back home.

**Alice Jones**: A whole life trapped in this tiny little box? I thought I was in a prison...

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: You have a funny way of looking at the world, don't you, Tower Girl?

**Alice Jones**: My papa used to say all the best people are mad. He'd say... "Starfish, you meet loads of people in this world. But the best ones... they'll challenge you. Make you see the world through a whole new looking glass".

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: You're lucky. I never knew mine. He died when I was a baby. No cute nicknames. No fatherly advice. All I have is his name and his legacy to uphold.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: You know, back in Storybrooke, I was kind of a mean girl. All I cared about was being popular.

**Alice Jones**: Yeah, I saw. You got loads of friends.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: I wouldn't really call them friends. But their approval was addicting. I hated it. So I came here to start over... and then I started seeking my father's legacy for all the same, dumb reasons. But back there, I think I remembered what being Robin Hood is really about... Protecting those who need it.

**Alice Jones**: Thank you. For being on my side.

### *The Guardian* (Season 7, Episode 18)

(*Rumplestiltskin brings Alice to Belle's shrine to use her Guardian powers to free him from the Dark One Dagger*)

**Alice Jones**: Is that her? Your wife? It must have been a great love story.

**Rumplestiltskin** She saw the best in me when no one else could, including myself.

**Alice Jones**: Robin was the first person to see something special in me, too. Not sure I would've seen it if she hadn't. What do you think it's like there, where your Belle is?

**Rumplestiltskin** I don't know.

**Alice Jones**: I hope it's somewhere where you get to be with the people you love forever, and you don't have to think about life anymore. That's how it should be, 'cause I know what it's like to watch the world go by and not be in it. It's terribly lonely.

**Rumplestiltskin** Yes, it is.

**Alice Jones**: Suppose I won't have to worry about that now. I'm in the world forever. No more towers for me.

**Rumplestiltskin**: (*about the Dark One Dagger*) I made a promise that when I passed this on, it wouldn't be a burden... And that's exactly what it will be for you.

**Alice Jones**: I don't understand.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Immortality is just another tower. You deserve better than that. You're gonna fall in love, grow old with someone, live a normal life, free of towers.

**Alice Jones**: But what will happen to you?

**Rumplestiltskin**: I guess I'll just have to find another way, even if that means I'll lose the battle with the darkness to do so.

**Alice Jones**: No you won't. I won't let that happen, no matter what. I know who you really are, and I won't let you forget it.

## During Fifth Curse

### *Beauty* (Season 7, Episode 4)

**Tilly**: We knew each other before... Before in that other place. Yes, that's it! Though you had a different name then. What was it? Sheepshanks? Spindleshanks?

**Detective Weaver**: Oh, you've gone mad...

**Tilly**: We're all mad here!

**Detective Weaver**: Tilly, put the gun down. Now!

**Tilly**: No. Sorry. I don't have a choice. The teacup didn't work.

**Detective Weaver**: Why are you doing this?

**Tilly**: Because you told me to... Rumplestiltskin! (*shoots him*)

## After Fifth Curse

### *Is This Henry Mills* (Season 7, Episode 20)

**Mother Gothel**: Don't be a fool. Join your mother and defend your home.

**Alice Jones**: You are not my mother. You want to ruin me the way the world ruined you. But I'm not like you. I'm not an outcast. I'm not an orphan or a street rat or some crazy girl who's lost her way. You chose hate. But I choose love. (*transforms Gothel into a tree*) I'm sorry your life twisted into something you never meant it to. I promise I will do better.

### *Leaving Storybrooke* (Season 7, Episode 22)

(*Alice and Robin meet Zelena in the past version of Storybrooke*)

**Zelena**: Yes, it's me, the Wicked Witch. I'm fabulous!

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: (*to herself*) Mom?

**Zelena**: Did you want a selfie or are you just going to stand there all bloody day?

**Alice Jones**: Uh, we were looking for Regina.

**Zelena**: She's not here. She and Emma took Henry on a graduation trip. Just move along before I turn you both into flying monkeys.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: No, you won't. I happen to know that you don't have magic right now.

**Zelena**: Excuse me?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: That's why you're driving Robin to Ashley's daycare. If you had magic, you would just poof there. You always hated driving. Especially that car 'cause the brakes that always jerk, but really it's just because you have a lead foot.

**Zelena**: Who are you? And how the hell do you know so much about me and my daughter?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Okay. This may be a little hard to process, but that five-year-old girl in that car seat there? That's *me*. So, you better get your game face on and go and get that magic bean hiding in the cupboard because our family needs your help.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Becoming the Dark One was the act of a coward, but I'm no longer that man. *You* are. And that weak coward will *not* be the Rumplestiltskin the world remembers.

**Rumplestiltskin (Wish Realm)**: So, what's your plan then? Talk me to death?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Oh, my plan is to do whatever it takes.

**Alice Jones**: No, the line of the Guardians is gone. You'll never be with Belle!

**Rumplestiltskin**: I know that. But I also know you don't do the right thing for a reward. You do it because it's *right*. Now, I've been selfish for too long. I've been living on stolen time. Now I will finally face the unknown. (*sacrifices himself by ripping his own heart out*)

(*after Rumplestiltskin sacrifices himself*)

**Alice Jones**: Papa, are you -

**Captain Hook (Wish Realm)**: I'm fine. (*Curse of the Poisoned Heart*) I'm cured!

**Alice Jones**: I thought I'd lost you.

**Captain Hook (Wish Realm)**: So did I. What happened?

**Alice Jones**: (*about Rumplestiltskin*) He did it. He gave you his heart!

**Captain Hook (Wish Realm)**: Goodbye, old friend.

**Henry Mills**: (*Regina enters*) Mom! You're okay?

**Regina Mills**: Yeah, I'm fine, it's all gonna be fine, but what's happening here?

**Captain Hook (Wish Realm)**: (*about Rumplestiltskin*) He did it for me. He did it to save me. Save all of us

**Regina Mills**: (*to Rumplestiltskin's corpse*): Thank you. Thank you for one last lesson: that darkness can always find the light. And thank you for one last gift. You saved us. And I know you thought that that would make your dreams be in vain. But I refuse to believe that. If anyone deserves peace, it is you. I will miss you. But you deserve your happy ending. Now go find it.

## After Sixth Curse

### *Be Careful What You Wish For* (Season 8, Episode 1)

**Regina Mills**: Sorry I'm late. This whole proper "Queen" thing is still new.

**Alice Jones**: You needn't apologize, Your Majesty. Time is merely an illusion.

**Regina Mills**: Thank you, Alice, but you can still call me Regina...

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Thank God; I wouldn't like to go around saying "Aunt Your Majesty".

**Regina Mills**: (*nervously laughs*) Please don't.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Alice, are you okay? You're thinking about your mother again, aren't you?

**Alice Jones**: I haven't thought about her in months. I just... I guess going out on another adventure is jogging my memory. I just want to forget about her.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Speaking as someone who grew up in a town where people lost their memories every five minutes, maybe remembering isn't necessarily a bad thing. Remembering the painful stuff is the only way we can grow through it.

**Alice Jones**: I don't want to grow through it. I don't want anything to do with that witch. That's why I haven't used my magic since that day. That magic came from *her*. That's why I'm never going to use it again.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Are you alright? It looks like you've been sleeping on the beach.

**Maui**: That's because I have been. You got a problem with that?

**Captain Hook (Wish Realm)**: Quite the contrary, mate. The sea is a beautiful place to wake up to.

**Maui**: Any one of you care to tell me exactly what's been going on around here? The world looks... different.

**Alice Jones**: It's quite a long, complicated story. But basically, all of the lands have been merged into one. We call it the United Realms.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: My aunt, the Good Queen, she did it. She didn't want anybody to be separated from their loved ones ever again.

**Alice Jones**: Do you have anybody you need to find?

**Maui**: I might.

**Captain Hook (Wish Realm)**: What's your name?

**Maui**: It's Maui, shapeshifter, demi-god of the wind and sea, hero of men and women. Never heard of me?

**Captain Hook (Wish Realm)**: Yes, actually. I've come across your fish hook before.

**Maui**: What? Where is it now?

**Captain Hook (Wish Realm)**: I'm afraid I don't know.

**Maui**: No matter. I'm a demi-god! I'll find it. Any chance any of you have heard anything about a girl named Moana?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: No, sorry.

**Alice Jones**: We'll keep an eye out. You should come to our town with us. It's called Storybrooke. There's plenty of accommodation.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: You're not the only one with mommy issues. Surely you can understand. The woman we recruited to defeat Rumplestiltskin isn't my mother. Not from *now*, I mean. That's her from when I was a kid. She doesn't know me. It's so awkward.

**Alice Jones**: You've barely spoken, though. A family who gives up isn't the family I agreed to marry into. You've given me so many pep talks, Robin. I know you're strong enough to do this. Just spend time with her. It'll all work out, I promise.

### *Stay Strong* (Season 8, Episode 2)

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Alice? You good?

**Alice Jones**: I, uh, I don't know. I was just lost in my thoughts.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Talk to me.

**Alice Jones**: I don't know what to say. It's just... I was thinking, what use am I to the United Realms if I don't use magic? I mean, at least you're a champion with a bow and arrow. You're an excellent fighter.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Alice, you are one of the smartest people I know. You have an extraordinary mind. A unique mind. You fight with love. Remember when we met? Back when I was hellbent on hunting the Troll Guardian? You stood up for him, and in doing so introduced me to a whole different perspective of things. You are perfect, with or without magic.

**Alice Jones**: Maybe. I was just worrying about it because of the threat of the Wish Villains.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Understandable. But don't let it consume you.

**Alice Jones**: The same can be said about you and Zelena.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: I'm going to talk to her. Today.

**Alice Jones**: Well that was eventful. But, knowing you, I'm sure you get a chance to speak to Zelena?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: I did. And it didn't go as planned.

**Alice Jones**: What? Why?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: She got transported from a reality where she had a toddler, straight to a reality where that toddler is now a grown woman. Obviously that can't be easy for anybody, but I don't think she wants to accept that. It's not a reality she's ready for.

**Alice Jones**: So what now?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: I don't think a pep talk is going to change her mind. This is my mom we're talking about.

**Alice Jones**: Robin, remember what I told you. About never giving up? You said to me yourself this morning that we all have our own superpowers. Magic or not. You are capable of anything. You'll win her over.

### *Which Witch is Which?* (Season 8, Episode 3)

**Alice Jones**: I've a feeling we're not going to find a demi-god here so easily.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: I just noticed that the rooftop of the Emerald Castle overlooks the United Realms. Beautiful place for our wedding, no?

**Alice Jones**: Uh, Robin? We need to find Maui? He seems to have it in for Zelena, remember?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: I guess you can't appreciate this place when you haven't seen *The Wizard of Oz*.

**Alice Jones**: It's too green! And there's an evil demi-god lurking here, probably something to take into consideration.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Sorry.

**Alice Jones**: It's Zelena, isn't it? The sooner we capture this guy, the sooner she will see how much you care about having a relationship with her.

### *All I Ask of You* (Season 8, Episode 4)

**Alice Jones**: How do you do it, Papa? You've been alive for centuries and yet have never wielded magic for yourself.

**Captain Hook (Wish Realm)**: What's magic got to do with anything?

**Alice Jones**: I have magic in my blood. But I don't want to use it. But I'm also the only one in the United Realms Royal Association without it.

**Captain Hook (Wish Realm)**: You feel left out?

**Alice Jones**: Maybe a little. Robin said my mind is just as powerful, but -

**Captain Hook (Wish Realm)**: She's right, Starfish. If you wish not to use magic, you don't have to. You're already doing a lot better than I was in my past. I had to survive with dozens of enemies targeting me at all times. You are the most creative person I know. You can find your own strengths in that.

**Alice Jones**: Thank you, Papa. You're right. There's nothing wrong with being unique.

**Captain Hook (Wish Realm)**: That being said, my sword here got me through a lot of tough times. It's yours if you want.

### *Wicked Revenge* (Season 8, Episode 5)

**Alice Jones**: Maui?

**Maui**: Uh... B... Blondie? Didn't catch your name.

**Alice Jones**: It's Alice. Did you know we've been looking for you?

**Maui**: Who?

**Alice Jones**: Regina saw you ambush the Wicked Witch. We were kind of confused as to what your motives are.

**Maui**: That's none of your business, Alice.

**Alice Jones**: I'm concerned. Was she the person you were looking for? How do you know her?

**Maui**: Maybe I'm looking for more than one person.

**Alice Jones**: Right. Moana. I remember now.

**Maui**: Unless you have any news on her, I'm not interested in conversing.

**Alice Jones**: Wait. I also remember you're looking for your fish hook.

**Maui**: What do you know about my fish hook?

**Alice Jones**: After my Papa obtained it, it was stolen by... by -

**Maui**: By who?

**Alice Jones**: Her name was Gothel, it doesn't matter. When she perished, I used it to free my Papa and my friend from a snow globe. It can -

**Maui**: - Free you from any prison. I know. That's not all it can do. Alice, I need to know where it is.

**Alice Jones**: I don't have it anymore. It disappeared! But I can help you look for it, *if* you tell what your history is with Zelena.

**Maui**: (*chuckles*) How are you supposed to help me? You have no magic, no power. You're nothing. I'm good!

**Ella Mills**: (*about the United Realms Royal Association*) You wanna quit? Why?

**Alice Jones**: I don't know. I just don't think I can do it. At the very least, I need a break.

**Ella Mills**: Well, you know I'm happy to let you help out here again. You're a natural with the beignets!

**Alice Jones**: How's the business going? I hear you had a partnership going on with Granny.

**Ella Mills**: I did! Her diner is thriving. And the citizens of Storybrooke are starting to like the Rollin' Bayou!

**Alice Jones**: People are hearing about it?

**Ella Mills**: Yes, I've been *so* busy. I've barely even seen Lucy lately. I could really use some extra help.

**Regina Mills**: Alice. I've been wondering where you've been.

**Alice Jones**: I've been with Ella. Helping her with the food truck. It's been starting to gain attention around Storybrooke.

**Regina Mills**: Oh. Look, Alice. You probably don't want to have this conversation, but I think we need to get some things out in the open.

**Alice Jones**: Robin put you up to this. Didn't she?

**Regina Mills**: We're worried, Alice. You seem to be lacking confidence lately.

**Alice Jones**: You know what? You're right. I don't have magic, I don't *want* to have magic, My Papa gave me this sword, I don't know how to use it, and today I bumped into Maui. Remember, that demi-god? Do you know what he told me? That I'm *nothing*.

**Regina Mills**: You are *not* nothing. Alice, your fiancée told me about your complicated feelings toward your mother. Did you know that I *also* had a complex relationship with my own mother? Her name was Cora. She was power-hungry and abusive. And yet everything she did in life was for me. She wanted me to be queen, and to have a better upbringing than hers. It certainly doesn't justify her behavior, but you can understand that things between me and her were convoluted. I wanted nothing more than to be free of her, yet I also craved her affection; the affection she wasn't good at giving when I was a child.

**Alice Jones**: What happened to her?

**Regina Mills**: She died in my arms. But we made peace. She changed. As did I. I loved her, but I can also acknowledge that she wasn't the best person for most of her life. When I was a teenager, I wanted absolutely nothing to do with magic, because she wielded it herself and used it to do terrible things. But life happened, and, spoiler alert, I learned magic. Do you know I came to terms with using it after all the horrible things in my life that stemmed from it? I had to shift my mindset and allow myself to understand that if I could use the magic in my blood for good, I could allow myself to believe that something good came from my mother's magic. Alice, it'snyour decision what you want to do with your life, but we all want to be a part of the team.

**Alice Jones**: I'll think about it. But I still can't wield a sword.

**Regina Mills**: I might know a few people who can help with that.

### *To Be Queen* (Season 8, Episode 6)

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Are you okay? I heard what happened! Ursula tried to *kill* you?

**Alice Jones**: Well, as you can see, she failed. Guess I'm stronger than I thought. Although it was Papa who put her in her grave, not me.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: She had history with Hook, didn't she? That's why she targeted you. I'm sorry I wasn't with you today.

**Alice Jones**: You don't have to apologize. I think I needed a day like today.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Almost getting murdered by a vengeful sea witch?

**Alice Jones**: It was a reminder that I'm a tough girl - I've been through a lot. Living in Wonderland, travelling the realms; I can take care of myself. Even without magic.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Did you get a chance to use the sword?

**Alice Jones**: Well, no one was born a skilled swordsman. Or swordswoman. I've got a lot to learn. Actually, Regina said she knew just the right person who could mentor me.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Who? Zorro?

**Alice Jones**: She didn't say. Guess they haven't been located in the United Realms yet.

### *The Mistress of Evil* (Season 8, Episode 7)

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: What are you doing?

**Alice Jones**: Um, practicing my swordfighting stance and the eight different angles of attack. Apparently.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: You've been having *way* too many sleepless nights. How about you put the sword down for an evening, and have a romantic night out with your fiancée. We still have a wedding to plan.

**Alice Jones**: Right now? With evil queens and witches and demi-gods lurking about? You sure that's the best idea.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: You know what I've learned, living here in Storybrooke. It's some wisdom Henry's grandfather David used to always say. He'd say that life is full of battles and danger and bad things. But that's exactly why you have to cherish the good moments that come in between. Take each good opportunity as it comes, because you might not get the opportunity again. That's just life.

**Alice Jones**: David? Prince Charming? The swordsman?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: That's all you got from that?

**Alice Jones**: No, no of course not. But don't you see? Prince Charming could teach me how to wield my sword.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: His days of swordsmanship are over. He's gone back to his roots with farming. He's not even a sheriff anymore.

**Alice Jones**: Come on. I might not get the opportunity again.

**Prince Charming**: Well, aside from that battle against Rumplestiltskin, I haven't actually done heroics in a really long time. It's been kinda nice, just living a quiet life with the perfect woman and raising our son.

**Alice Jones**: So is that a no?

**Prince Charming**: No... I mean, that's not a no. Anything for my, uh, grandson's cousin's fiancée.

**Alice Jones**: Something like that. My Papa gifted me his sword recently, and I think I'm finally ready to learn how to use it. Only I have no idea where to begin. Regina said she'd get someone to mentor me, but... Well, I guess I don't want to wait that long.

**Prince Charming**: Well, I'm happy to start with the basics until you find a proper mentor.

**Alice Jones**: How did you learn?

**Prince Charming**: Actually, a princess taught me. And, as hard as this may be to believe, I genuinely thought I didn't have it in me. We started with fencing, but really what always stuck with me was her advice. Not her actions, but her words. She told me, that surviving isn't living. You have to believe in what you're fighting for. You have to believe, really believe, that you have a fighting chance in battle, and then, only then, will you be able to achieve the impossible.

**Alice Jones**: So I'm not just fighting to survive. It's not just about having great swordsmanship, but about fighting for what I believe in?

**Prince Charming**: Exactly. Use your love and positive memories to power and master your strength.

### *Reversal* (Season 8, Episode 10)

**Zelena**: Tilly? Margot?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: The curse broke, remember Mom?

**Zelena**: Oh, right. Guess it's just hard to remember sometimes. What the hell are you doing here?

**Alice Jones**: Take a wild guess, Miss West.

**Zelena**: You guys need my help in the United Realms?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Come back with us, Mom. You belong there with your family, not in the Land Without Magic. And I'm sure it's a step up from America for Chad.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Hi. Moana, right? My mom told me about you.

**Moana**: The Wicked Witch?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Actually, her name's Zelena.

**Alice Jones**: She said that you warned her about your friend Maui.

**Moana**: He's not my friend. Not anymore. I'd never tolerate that sort of vindictive behavior.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Look, Moana. You're the only person who knows him. As far as we can tell, you were his only friend. And now that my mom is back in town after a little trip, we need to start thinking about defending ourselves.

**Moana**: How? By killing him?

**Alice Jones**: We don't want it to come to that. Trust us. There must be some other way we can defeat him. But we need your help.

**Moana**: His fish hook. He has this fish hook. Well, *had*. Last time I saw him, he was still searching for it. If he gets his hand on that weapon, then we are all doomed... especially Zelena. Not to mention his aliance with the Evil Queen.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: You've really lost faith in your former friend?

**Moana**: He's been surrounded by darkness his entire life. But I always thought that he had a good heart, deep down. Until now.

**Alice Jones**: You know, I know what it's like to have someone so close to you be plagued with darkness. My mother was a terrible witch. I kind of regretted not trying to give her a second chance, and show her the true meaning of family and love. But her heart was rotten to the core. But if you genuinely believed Maui to have a pure soul, perhaps you can get through to him. You have the opportunity to try.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: We can't put a stop to all this until we know everything about his revenge plot. Please, help us find his fish hook and protect my mom.

### *Man's Best Friend* (Season 8, Episode 13)

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: This is the library. It can get pretty busy, what with all the fascinating stories in here, but it's also a nice place if you want some privacy.

**Chad Verum**: We didn't have privacy in San Francisco. Storybrooke isn't as overwhelming.

**Alice Jones**: We noticed. Even Hyperion Heights wasn't as busy. This town is much better than the big city.

**Gideon**: Always nice to see you, girls. Can I help you?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Gideon, this is Chad, my mom's fiancé. Chad, this is the librarian Gideon, son of the late Rumplestiltskin.

**Chad Verum**: On second thought, this place is overwhelming in other ways.

**Alice Jones**: Are you Roger Radcliffe?

**Roger Radcliffe**: Indeed I am. Who are you?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: We're part of the United Realms Royal Association. We realize that may sound daunting, but -

**Roger Radcliffe**: I've been looking for you. I mean, the United Realms Royal Association.

**Alice Jones**: Really? Why?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: You heard about the dalmatians, didn't you? The ones attacking Storybrooke.

**Roger Radcliffe**: My mother was Cruella De Vil. Estranged mother, might I add.

**Alice Jones**: Understandable.

**Roger Radcliffe**: She abandoned me when I was a baby, but I faced her when I was a teenager. The dogs... I care for them. They feel like my responsibility. I want to help. Not just to save the people, but the dogs too.

### *Escape the Past* (Season 8, Episode 15)

**Alice Jones**: Ah, Roger! And you must be Diaval and Lanval. Regina mentioned you.

**Diaval**: She did?

**Alice Jones**: This is my fiancée, Robin.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Nice to meet you guys. So you want to join the United Realms Royal Association?

**Roger Radcliffe**: It'd be good for us. We all came to Storybrooke lost, unsure of what our futures hold.

**Lanval**: But I think we're more than capable of helping out around the Royal Castle. I mean, unless we're able to do some of the more fight-y stuff?

**Diaval**: Don't mind him. He's ego's through the roof today because he saved Gideon from a villain.

### *Ozma of Oz* (Season 8, Episode 16)

**Alice Jones**: Diaval, Lanval, I'd like you to meet Sherlock Holmes. Uh, I mean Detective Holmes.

**Diaval**: Pleasure to meet you.

**Sherlock Holmes**: Likewise.

**Lanval**: Why exactly are we meeting each other?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Sherlock is in the midst of a very important case. We're trying to help him locate the Wicked Witch of the East.

**Sherlock Holmes**: As her name implies, she's not exactly benevolent. She's a threat to the United Realms.

**Diaval**: Is there anything we can do to help?

**Sherlock Holmes**: As a matter of fact, yes. We know exactly how we can exploit her weakness to take her down.

**Lanval**: Then why would you need our help?

**Sherlock Holmes**: We need the man she loves, and unfortunately, we don't know his whereabouts. (*to Diaval*) *But* we *do* know that you have a special talent that means we can use him without actually *using* him.

**Diaval**: You want me to take his form and pose as him.

### *Broken Bonds* (Season 9, Episode 1)

**Regina Mills**: Thanks for coming to this last minute meeting, everyone. As I'm sure you know, there was a terrible monster roaming the streets of Storybrooke today.

**Alice Jones**: When isn't there?

**Regina Mills**: But, thanks to my sister here, the Light Guardian, we don't need to worry about the monster anymore!

**Zelena**: What can I say? The dagger did all the work.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Nooo, you were awesome, Mom! Where's the beast now?

**Zelena**: Well, when Regina and I came back here to the castle, the dagger showed us the location of another area in the basement.

**Lanval**: You just *found* a new room in your home?

**Zelena**: Well, it's not like we live in a cabin. It *is* a castle!

**Regina Mills**: And the new room isn't just any old room. The whole thing is lined with cells as far as the eye can see.

**Diaval**: A creature prison?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: I believe in this world, they call that a zoo.

**Alice Jones**: You never found the room before?

**Zelena**: Never. It just appeared like magic.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: Maybe Lanval's right. Maybe the reason you only just discovered it is because the dagger *created* the room.

**Lanval**: Wow. That's one powerful knife.

**Diaval**: Sorry to, uh, be the pessimistic one for once, but did anybody wonder how the nuckelavee got to Storybrooke in the first place?

**Regina Mills**: Unfortunately, we suspect it didn't just stumble into town.

**Zelena**: Someone's still out there, and they're dangerous.

### *Temptation* (Season 9, Episode 5)

**Diaval**: I think I imagined something bizarre. Or perhaps I dreamed it.

**Alice Jones**: Does it have anything to do with Lanval?

**Diaval**: How did you know?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: My mom told me what happened. She was there. You didn't imagine it.

**Diaval**: Lanval... Lanval said he loved me. I mean, yeah, we've known each other for a long time, but he's never said that before. I didn't think he would like me in that way.

**Alice Jones**: You know, that's exactly what was going through my head when I fell in love with this one. (*smiles at Robin*) I thought she was way out my league. That she'd never like a girl.

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: But clearly, things aren't always as they seem. We're all conditioned to believe these stereotypes, to believe that you have to look or act a certain way to be gay.

**Alice Jones**: But you don't. You can never tell a person's sexuality just by looking at them. In fact, you can't tell at all unless they tell you.

**Diaval**: I think *I* have something to tell you. Sometimes I've never told anyone. I think... I think I have feelings for Lanval. I never thought he'd reciprocate them. You know, as cheesy as it sounds, I could have died yesterday. I nearly died and we wouldn't be here having this conversation. Life's too short to deny who I am any longer.

**Alice Jones**: Let's hope Lanval will learn to feel the same way.

**Diaval**: What do you mean?

**Robin Hood, Jr.**: We're not sure he's ready to properly come out. I don't even think he really knows yet. I've been there, too.

### *Face Your Fears* (Season 9, Episode 13)

(*Robin Hood, Jr. and Queen Anastasia leave to find Drizella, Tom Thumb and the Jabberwocky*)

**Alice Jones**: I just wish I could be helping Robin right now.

**Will Scarlet**: Well, why didn't you go with them?

**Alice Jones**: Because, realistically, there's nothing I *can* do to help.

**Diaval**: Why do you think that?

**Alice Jones**: Robin is the greatest archer in the realm. Anastasia has magic. What do *I* have?

**Will Scarlet**: Well, Ana didn't always have magic. When I first met her, she was as normal as they come. The Queen of Hearts taught her. Anyone can learn it.

**Alice Jones**: But I don't want to learn magic. It's in my blood, but... I don't want to associate myself with...

**Lanval**: Gothel?

**Will Scarlet**: Who?

**Diaval**: I'm not sure it's best we talk about it -

**Alice Jones**: No, it's fine. She was my mother. I mean, she wasn't really anything of the sort. But biologically, she was my mother. A cruel and heartless witch. Any magic I had, it came from her. And I don't want to use it for that reason.

**Lanval**: Magic isn't the only weapon, you know. As you said, Robin's an archer. And I'm quite the skilled swordsman, if I do say so myself.

**Will Scarlet**: (*to Alice*) He's right, you know. But just because your mum was a right bitch, don't mean that having magic is a bad thing. If you associate it with her legacy, don't. Use it to create your *own* legacy. Show the world that you're stronger than she could ever be.

**Diaval**: It's not about the magic, it's about what you use it for.
