Broken Bonds/Quotes

## Quotes

**Tom**: Arthur. I met him once, before he became a knight. I was quite young. He has shown me that *anyone* can become a knight. *Anyone* can achieve *anything*; ambitions *can* come true. Mark my words, Lanval... One day, Arthur will be respected by *all* the people of Camelot, and maybe even beyond.

**Lanval**: Don't give up, Tom. If Arthur can go from being nothing to a grand knight, we can too.

**Chad Verum**: Zelena, I... I was wondering if you spoke to your sister yet?

**Zelena**: About what?

**Chad Verum**: You know. The wedding? I mean, it's been six months since you defeated Carabosse and her son. I want to start planning again, babe.

**Zelena**: (*smiles*) Yeah.

**Chad Verum**: What's wrong. It's Regina, isn't it?

**Zelena**: God, I wish you weren't so good at reading people. I'm just... a little... dubious, after last time I tried to talk to her about it.

**Chad Verum**: That was half a year ago, Zelena. You can't keep postponing this. You can't keep being afraid of the future.

**Drizella Tremaine**: Finished cleaning the stables out, Regina.

**Regina Mills**: Have you? I seem to remember last time you "cleaned the stables" we lost the royal horses. Somehow.

**Drizella Tremaine**: I don't make the same mistakes twice.

**Regina Mills**: That's a bold statement. You're free to go. I'll see you tomorrow at 6am. Don't be late.

**Drizella Tremaine**: Regina... Your Majesty... I've been doing community service for months. Isn't it time to, you know, wrap it up? I want to go visit my sister on the farside of the United Realms.

**Regina Mills**: Drizella, you can't just walk away from your sins. There's still people whose lives have been ruined from *your* curse.

**Drizella Tremaine**: No more lessons. I want my life, and I want it *now*! I can't *find* myself, find my *true* purpose, if I'm cleaning up horse manure every day!

**Regina Mills**: Have patience. If there's one thing working in the stables should have taught you, don't put the cart before the horse.

**Tom**: Just recently, another prophecy from Merlin was made. One day, in the future, he will be freed from his tree form and become a man again. And do you know how? At the hands of a renowned savior!

**Lanval**: What does this apparent prediction have to do with us?

**Tom**: I'm going to help.

**Lanval**: *What*?

**Tom**: They say the true ruler of Camelot is the only person who can remove Excalibur from its stone. And I believe that Arthur will be that man and become king.

**Lanval**: I'm sure the knights are aware of Excalibur, Tom!

**Tom**: Of course they are! If *I* know, *they* know. But they haven't *done* anything, that's the problem. We are still the Broken Kingdom.
That's why I'm going. I'm going to find Excalibur first and get Arthur to pull it out from the stone. We need a king!

**Lanval**: You're talking absolute *nonsense*. Arthur is not going to be the king just because a piece of *wood* "said so". And you're not going to do anything about this sword! What happened to us becoming knights, together?

**Tom**: Sorry, Lanval, but I believe the prophecy. I'm going to save Camelot.

**Diaval**: Drizella. What are you doing sitting here all by yourself?

**Drizella Tremaine**: Thinking. I, uh, haven't been feeling the best lately.

**Diaval**: And why's that?

**Drizella Tremaine**: I've been working for Regina ever since we saved the kingdom from Carabosse's apocalypse, and I... I want to be free.

**Lanval**: Everyone wants to be free. We get it. *But*, Regina's only doing what's best for you. She's wise, Drizella. If she doesn't think you're ready to begin a new life...

**Drizella Tremaine**: What about what *I* think? Nobody knows me better than I know myself. I spent way too long trying to win my mother's approval, and I've spent way too long trying to do the same thing for Regina. She's just punishing me because she doesn't want to forgive me. I've been trying to make up for what I've done for what feels like a lifetime.

**Diaval**: Maybe you're looking to make up with the wrong person? I'm not saying to give up with Regina, but she's far from the only person you've ever hurt. Maybe start with someone else, and she'll see how hard you're trying.

**Lucy Mills**: Dad, you can tell me *anything*. Please.

**Henry Mills**: Your mother and I have had a disagreement. Our anniversary is coming up, and we don't have the same thoughts when it comes to inviting your step-aunt.

**Lucy Mills**: Aunt Drizella?

**Henry Mills**: You really don't have to call her that. Look, I know people change for the better. I really do. But can you blame me if I don't want the woman who poisoned me at my anniversary?

**Lucy Mills**: Dad, you have the heart of the truest believer. You must believe that Drizella deserves your acceptance! Especially if Mom forgives her!

**Henry Mills**: I'm sorry, honey. Life isn't that simple. Nor is love. Sometimes, there's just things you and your partner won't agree on. You'll understand, someday. I didn't until I had my first relationship.

**Zelena**: Chad and I were discussing our wedding. We've been engaged for a *really* long time. But...

**Gideon**: You're nervous?

**Zelena**: Maybe. I don't think I realized how afraid I am until Chad said I was this morning.

**Gideon**: I'm sure everyone gets afraid before they get married. I can't blame you, it's one of the biggest days of your life.

**Zelena**: It's more than that. I think I'm just... afraid of the future. I mean, how can I, the Wicked Witch, be the heroic Light Guardian if I'm too scared of my future happiness?

**Gideon**: Sounds to me like you're still being haunted by the past. You're afraid of living up to everyone's expectations.

**Tom**: I am Tom, and this is my colleague, Dr. Facilier.

**Evil Queen**: Dr. Facilier? I've read about you. I'll tell you boys what; (*to Tom*) I'll let you and this voodoo vermin scurry along, *if* you help me run a little errand.

**Dr. Facilier**: What could the Queen possibly need our help with?

**Evil Queen**: I've heard you have great power, Dr. Facilier.

**Dr. Facilier**: Not nearly enough.

**Evil Queen**: Enough to get revenge on Snow White! Perhaps we could come to an agreement? I borrow some of your voodoo magic to locate the princess, and in exchange, I offer my services to you, and your little protégé.

**Evil Queen**: (*Tom banishes Dr. Facilier*) What have you done? My revenge! (*shatters the voodoo wand*)

**Tom**: No!

**Evil Queen**: Do you have *any* idea what you've cost me?! My revenge on Snow White may have been delayed, but for now I'll have to settle for *you*. (*shrinks him*) I could kill you. Squish you with one swift step. But I think it'd be more fun to see you try and survive the size of a finger. Good luck achieving your goals, *Tom Thumb*.

**Gideon**: (*reading*) "The only weakness of the nuckelavee is that it cannot cross fresh flowing water."

**Zelena**: Why is it always that? Wasn't this the Headless Horseman's weakness?

**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.
