Killian Jones / Captain Hook Quotes

## Before First Curse

### *The Brothers Jones* (Season 5, Episode 15)

**Liam Jones**: Captain Silver, are you aware this ship is pointed dead into a storm?

**Captain Silver**: Back to the rigging, Jones. Leave the navigation to the officers.

**Killian Jones**: Well, your officers are doing a piss-poor job! We're thirty degrees off course, headed into a hurricane!

**Captain Silver**: We're aware. Carry on.

**Liam Jones**: Are you mad?! What kind of captain sails into a hurricane?!

**Captain Silver**: The kind that earns his namesake! The King offered a mighty reward for what's inside that storm.

**Liam Jones**: This voyage was never about the grain in the hold, was it? You're going after that cursed sapphire - the Eye of the Storm!

### *Good Form* (Season 3, Episode 5)

**Liam Jones**: My ship has never been in finer hands.

**Killian Jones**: Aye, Captain. We stand ready to receive the King's orders.

**Liam Jones**: (*to the crew*) To your stations. (*to Killian*) When the King summoned me, I knew there was only one man I could trust to navigate this difficult journey. My little brother!

**Killian Jones**: Perhaps you mean *younger* brother.

**Liam Jones**: (*gives Killian a sextant*) A gift. To commemorate our latest voyage together.

**Killian Jones**: A sextant? You always were the sentimental type.

**Liam Jones**: Look closer, brother.

**Killian Jones**: I've never seen markings like this. To what strange land are we headed?

**Liam Jones**: I'm under orders not to say until we arrive. But, brother, this is the mission of our dreams. A mission that will bring peace to the kingdom and glory to the Jones brothers.

**Killian Jones**: A hero's journey. That's indeed good form, brother.

**Peter Pan**: Are you two lost? You look lost to me.

**Liam Jones**: Identify yourself, boy.

**Peter Pan**: I'm Peter Pan. I live here. Who are you?

**Liam Jones**: Captain Jones, and my leftenant. We're here by order of the King.

**Peter Pan**: The King, huh? We don't have any kings in Neverland. Just me.

**Liam Jones**: That's funny. We seek this plant. (*shows an illustration of dreamshade*) Now tell us, boy, where can we find it?

**Peter Pan**: Your king sent you for this plant?

**Liam Jones**: You know it?

**Peter Pan**: Dreamshade? It's the deadliest plant on the island. Your king is really ruthless.

**Liam Jones**: Nonsense.

**Killian Jones**: It's medicine.

**Peter Pan**: It's doom. Why fight a messy battle when you can kill an entire army with the sap of one plant?

**Killian Jones**: (*to Liam*) Is it possible? The King would turn poison upon our enemies?

**Liam Jones**: Don't be so gullible. This boy is playing games, and I'm quickly tiring of them. Come. We should keep moving.

**Peter Pan**: Don't say I didn't warn you.

**Killian Jones**: (*about dreamshade*) If this is a poison, it won't just end the war. It will obliterate an entire race!

**Liam Jones**: What do you know of any of this? I am your brother and your captain. You will listen to me.

**Killian Jones**: No. I'll fight my enemies, but I'll fight fair.

**Liam Jones**: Then allow me to disabuse you of that illusion. (*grabs a branch and drags the thorn up his arm*)

**Killian Jones**: Brother, don't!

**Liam Jones**: See? Perfectly fine. I told you, our king would never lie to us. Now let's collect our specimens and get off this - (*pauses in pain*)

**Killian Jones**: Liam?

**Liam Jones**: Killian... (*his veins turns black*)

### *Out of the Past* (*Dead in the Water*)

(*the Leviathan poses as Liam Jones*)

**Leviathan as Liam Jones**: How does an officer of the Royal Navy end up a pirate?

**Killian Jones**: I had plenty of reason to turn, brother. If if wasn't for that "king" of ours, I never would have lost you in the first place. The last time we were in these quarters, I held you in my arms as the Dreamshade's poison crept back into your veins. The magical waters of Neverland failed you once we were home...

**Leviathan as Liam Jones**: I remember. I remember the pain of it... and then the darkness. There were no dreams, no feeling... When I finally awoke, I found myself marooned on a desolate island. There was fresh water and abundant fishing, but no people, no landmarks I could recognize. The loneliness was almost too much. I don't know how long I was there before a boat arrived on the island's shores, blown off course during a storm. I begged them to let me on board, though their vessel was small. They agreed, and I thought I was on my way back to you, Killian. But then a storm blew up, more ferocious than any I'd encountered... When the waves suddenly calmed, we thought we had been miraculously spared. We gave thanks to the gods of the sea. It was only once the madness struck the crew that I knew without a doubt where we were. The Leviathan Shoals. Hysteria spread amongst the men, each succumbing in turn as our attempts to escape the shoals failed. For each time we tried to flee, we were thwarted by the monstrous Leviathan that inhabits this cursed realm of the ocean. I was the only one aboard my vessel who survived.

(*the Leviathan poses as Liam Jones*)

**Lewis**: You realize that man below *cannot* be your brother. It's not possible.

**Killian Jones**: Obviously it is. He must have been alive when we cast his body overboard.

**Lewis**: I *saw* what the Dreamshade did to him. There was no way we were mistaken. Or we would not have buried him at sea. So whatever is in your cabin eating our soup? Is *not* your brother.

**Killian Jones**: How can you be so sure? We've seen many odd things in our travels. Perhaps the Dreamshade only put Liam in a deep sleep, or a mermaid placed him under an enchantment... The man below deck is flesh and blood. And I see my brother looking back at me from his eyes.

**Lewis**: I merely wanted to remind you that this region is known for its phantasms...

(*whilst battling the Leviathan, the ship "Liam" is on is set on fire*)

**Killian Jones**: Liam! Abandon ship! There's no time to lose! Jump and we'll haul you aboard!

**Leviathan as Liam Jones**: Are you mad, Killian? Who's to say there's not another sea beast lurking in these water!

**Killian Jones**: Then we'll send out a lifeboat!

**Leviathan as Liam Jones**: One of these monsters could swallow a lifeboat whole. You have to come back for me with the *Jolly Roger*!

**Killian Jones**: But we're so close to freedom.

**Leviathan as Liam Jones**: There's no reason to leave tonight, Killian! Let's stay in the shoals a bit longer! Search out for other lost souls who may be hidden in the mists. We can try for free waters another day. *Please* come back for me!

**Lewis**: (*to Killian*) Captain, it's just as I said, this is all some sort of trick.

**Killian Jones**: Lewis, still your tongue.

**Lewis**: You know as well as I do that Liam was a fierce lad. A man brave enough to face any waters, no matter how treacherous.

**Killian Jones**: Perhaps you're right. That man looks like my brother, but the brother I knew would never give up so easily.

### *Devil's Due* (Season 5, Episode 14)

**Killian Jones**: Captain Killian Jones, at your service, ma'am.

**Milah**: That doesn't look to be the uniform of any navy I've - Oh. You're -

**Killian Jones**: Well, they call us pirates. We sail where we will and answer to no crown.

**Milah**: I've not seen the ocean much beyond our small port. Is it wonderful to travel so much?

**Killian Jones**: Aye. Do you know there are cities where the air smells of spices, and women are carried on jeweled chairs? Would you like to see that?

**Milah**: Well, I would love that, but I have responsibilities here. An ailing child. Husband.

**Killian Jones**: Ah! A husband. Well, it would appear a better man than I has won. But I am in port quite often, should that ever change.

### *The Crocodile* (Season 2, Episode 4)

**Killian Jones**: Who's this?

**Milah**: Ah, it's no one. It's just my husband!

**Killian Jones**: Oh. Well, he's a tad taller than you described!

**Rumplestiltskin**: Please. You have responsibilities.

**Milah**: You mean like being a *man* and fighting in the Ogre Wars? Other wives became honored widows while I became lashed to the village coward. I need a break. Run home, Rumple. It's what you're good at.

**Rumplestiltskin**: I remember you. From the bar.

**Killian Jones**: It's always nice to make an impression. Well, where are my manners? We haven't been formally introduced. Killian Jones. Now, what are you doing aboard my ship?

**Rumplestiltskin**: You have my wife.

**Killian Jones**: Well, I've had many a man's wife. (*crew laughs*)

**Rumplestiltskin**: No. You... Just... You see, we have a son, and he needs his mother.

**Killian Jones**: You see, *I* have a ship full of men, that need companionship.

**Rumplestiltskin**: I'm begging you. Please let her go.

**Killian Jones**: I'm not much for bartering. That said, I do consider myself an honorable man. A man with a code, so if you truly want your wife back… (*tosses Rumplestiltskin a sword*) All you have to do, is take her. Never been in a duel before, I take it? Well, it's quite simple, really. The pointy end goes in the other guy. Go on. Pick it up. (*Rumplestiltskin remains still*) A man unwilling to fight for what he wants, deserves what he gets.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Please, sir. What am I going to tell my boy?

**Killian Jones**: Try the truth – his father's a coward.

**Killian Jones**: You. I remember you.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Always nice to make an impression. Where are my manners? We haven't been properly introduced. Rumplestiltskin. Or, as others know me, the Dark One. Oh! I see my reputation precedes me.

**Killian Jones**: It does.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Good! That's going to save us time during the question and answer portion of our game!

**Killian Jones**: What is it you want to know?

**Rumplestiltskin**: How's Milah, of course?

**Killian Jones**: (*smiles*) Who?

**Rumplestiltskin**: (*giggles*) Only too happy to, uh, dig out the memory. But it gets really messy.

**Killian Jones**: She's dead. Died a long time ago. What is it you want?

**Rumplestiltskin**: We didn't get a chance to finish our duel. Not now. Tomorrow at dawn. I am not a cruel man. Get your affairs in order. Also, you can spend tonight knowing, it'll be your last! Maybe I *am* cruel. And don't think about trying to escape, because I will find you, and I will gut your entire crew (*Italian accent*) like the fish.

**Killian Jones**: (*Milah interrupts Rumplestiltskin and Killian's duel*) Milah, you have to run!

**Milah**: No. I'm not leaving without you!

**Rumplestiltskin**: Oh, how sweet. It appears there's more to this tale than I know. Tell it to me, Milah!

**Milah**: Please don't hurt him! I can explain.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Tick tock, dearie, tick tock!

**Milah**: That first night, when Killian and his crew came into the tavern, he told stories about the places he'd been. And I fell in love with him. I didn't mean for it to turn out this way. I didn't know how to tell you the truth. I'm sorry.

**Rumplestiltskin**: And so here we are. You've come to save the life of your *true love* - the pirate. I didn't realize the power of true love before. It is impressive. I'd hate to break it up... Actually, no, I'd love to!

**Rumplestiltskin**: How could you leave Bae? Do you know what it was like walking home that night...

**Milah**: Rumple...

**Rumplestiltskin**: ...knowing I had to tell our son...

**Milah**: Please.

**Rumplestiltskin**: ...that his mother was dead?

**Milah**: I was wrong to lie to you. *I* was the coward. I knew that.

**Rumplestiltskin**: (*furious*) You *left* him! You *abandoned* him!

**Milah**: And there's not a day that goes by that I don't feel sorry for that.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Sorry isn't enough! You let him go.

**Milah**: I let my misery cloud my judgment.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Why were you so miserable?

**Milah**: Because I *never* loved you. (*Rumplestiltskin rips her heart out*)

**Killian Jones**: Milah! No!

**Milah**: (*to Killian*) I love you. (*Rumplestiltskin crushes her heart, killing her*)

**Mr. Smee**: I want my bean.

**Captain Hook**: Let me tell you how it works on my ship. *I* make the demands, *you* follow them. Bean's now mine.

**Mr. Smee**: You have to give me something for it.

**Captain Hook**: Oh, I will. Your life. A chance to join my crew.

**Mr. Smee**: So instead of the promise of eternal life, I get to scrub blood off your decks? How is that right?

**Captain Hook**: Well, what if I was to tell you I was about to set sail to a land where none of us will ever grow old - where I can discover how to get my revenge on Rumplestiltskin?

**Mr. Smee**: Guess I could live with that.

**Captain Hook**: Good. What’s your name, sailor?

**Mr. Smee**: William. William Smee. Can I have my hat?

**Captain Hook**: Well, Mr. Smee, welcome aboard. (*to crew*) Hold on and get ready to set sail, mates. There's bumpy seas ahead!

**Mr. Smee**: What's the name of the place we're headed, Captain?

**Captain Hook**: Neverland.

### *And Straight On 'Til Morning* (Season 2, Episode 22)

(*Baelfire escapes Peter Pan's Shadow only to find himself aboard the Jolly Roger*)

**Captain Hook**: Ahoy there. Aren't you lucky to be alive?

**Baelfire**: Lucky? I'm a prisoner of pirates in a land cursed with magic.

**Captain Hook**: Well, most children think they've found paradise when they lay their eyes on Neverland's magic. Why else leave home in the first place?

**Baelfire**: I came so a family I loved could live.

**Captain Hook**: Well, aren't you quite the hero?

**Baelfire**: What would *you* know about that? *Pirate*.

**Captain Hook**: A pirate saved your scrawny bones from the curse of the mermaids.

**Baelfire**: A pirate killed my mother and tore apart my family.

**Captain Hook**: What about your father?

**Baelfire**: He left me. He's a *coward*.

**Captain Hook**: (*suspicious*) What's your name, boy?

**Baelfire**: I don't have to answer you.

**Captain Hook**: Well, I *can* make you. But to prove to you that not all pirates are as you fear, I'll simply ask again. What's your name?

**Baelfire**: Baelfire.

**Captain Hook**: (*realizes who Baelfire is*) Welcome aboard, Baelfire. It's a pirate's life for you.

**Captain Hook**: You spoke of your mother's fate. But your father, what became of him? You say he left you?

**Baelfire**: It's a long story.

**Captain Hook**: It's one that I know well. When I was a boy, my father and I boarded a ship with plans to travel the realms. One morning, I awoke, and he was gone. Turned out he was a fugitive. He had fled in the middle of the night to avoid capture.

**Baelfire**: He abandoned you?

**Captain Hook**: Aye. That he did.

**Baelfire**: If I tell you something, will you promise not to tell the crew? They might become frightened. My father, the reason I don't speak of him is because... he's the Dark One. He once was a man, but when I got drafted to the Ogre Wars, he wanted to protect me. So he went in search of the Dark One's dagger. And once he got it, he grew obsessed with the power it gave him.

**Captain Hook**: He draws his power from a dagger?

**Baelfire**: Yes. It's the only weapon that can kill him. And the only thing he truly cares about anymore. He chose it over me. My papa abandoned me, too.

**Baelfire**: (*holds up an illustration of Milah*) I found this on your desk. It's my mother! How'd you get it?

**Captain Hook**: Bae -

**Baelfire**: *How*?! You're the pirate that killed her!

**Captain Hook**: I didn't kill your mother! We fell in love, and we ran off together. Your father *lied* to you. He was too much of a coward to tell you the truth. He tore her heart out and crushed it in front of me! And I've spent every moment since then wanting revenge.

**Baelfire**: She abandoned me?

**Captain Hook**: Not a single day went past where your mother didn't regret leaving you, Baelfire. We talked about going back for you when you were old enough. Perhaps fate brought us together to make good on those plans. We can live the life that Milah wanted for us, as a family.

**Baelfire**: No! Stay back! You used me! You wanted to kill my father!

**Captain Hook**: Yes. I did.

**Baelfire**: You tore apart my family! As sure as if you ripped her heart out yourself!

**Captain Hook**: Bae, don't.

**Baelfire**: Take me back to my *real* family, the Darlings.

**Captain Hook**: I can't. It's not possible to leave Neverland. But you can stay here, under my protection.

**Baelfire**: I'd rather fend for myself than be with *you*. I want off this ship, *pirate*.

### *Poor Unfortunate Soul* (Season 4, Episode 15)

**Captain Hook**: I'd recognize that voice anywhere. You're the mermaid who nearly sank my ship... But you didn't. For that, I owe you a drink.

(*Hook and Ursula get to know each other*)

**Ursula**: After I let you escape, my father said I had to obey his rules if I wanted to live in his ocean.

**Captain Hook**: Ah. I see you don't take well to ultimatums.

**Ursula**: (*about Sea Bracelet*) I broke into his vault and stole this. It lets me walk on land.

**Captain Hook**: Well, you're a brave lass.

**Ursula**: My father wasn't always so cruel, you know. He used to be happy. Listening to my mother and me sing used to bring him joy.

**Captain Hook**: What changed, love?

**Ursula**: My mother was killed by a pirate. That's why he forbade me to sing, except to guide sailors to their doom. He turned my voice into a weapon, but it's all I have left of my mother. Singing is the only way to keep her spirit alive.

**Captain Hook**: You have a rare gift. Your voice can soothe even the most haunted soul.

**Ursula**: You really think so?

**Captain Hook**: For almost a century, my every waking moment has been consumed by one thought... making an evil man pay for what he did to the woman I loved. Listening to your voice took away that pain, if even just for a brief moment.

**Ursula**: That's all I ever wanted. To make people happy.

**Captain Hook**: Well, that's what you're doing. So, why are you singing in this rat's nest?

**Ursula**: I'm saving for passage to Glowerhaven. My mother said it was her favourite place to sing. I'm trying to earn enough gold -

**Captain Hook**: Oh, you don't need gold for that trip.

**Ursula**: I won't?

**Captain Hook**: Not if I take you.

**Poseidon**: My daughter is not going anywhere near this vessel tomorrow.

**Captain Hook**: Well, threatening me isn't gonna make her change her mind.

**Poseidon**: I don't need to change her mind. *You* do.

**Captain Hook**: How's a seashell gonna help me?

**Poseidon**: It's now enchanted to take away her reason to leave; her voice. Or rather, her singing voice. If she can't sing, she'll return to the sea, where she belongs.

**Captain Hook**: She told me what that voice means to her. I won't betray her, not since she spared my ship.

**Poseidon**: What if I could offer you a way to destroy the Dark One?

**Captain Hook**: What do you know about my feud with the Crocodile?

**Poseidon**: I know you've spent a lifetime searching for a way to kill him. I can offer you magic that will finally set you free.

**Captain Hook**: What kind of magic do you mean?

**Poseidon**: Squid Ink. A single drop is potent enough to paralyze any being; even Rumplestiltskin.

**Captain Hook**: And all I have to do is steal your daughter's singing voice?

**Poseidon**: It's simple, pirate. Just show her how awful humans really can be.

**Poseidon**: You only care about one thing: Your vengeance. (*takes back Squid Ink*) Now you'll *never* get it.

**Captain Hook**: You have *no* idea what you've just done!

**Poseidon**: You dare attack a deity?

**Captain Hook**: I don't have to kill you to make you suffer. I know I'm not the only one consumed by vengeance. (*steals Ursula's singing voice*)

**Ursula**: No!

**Captain Hook**: (*to Poseidon*) Now you'll never sink another ship with this.

**Ursula**: How could you?! You said you had a code. You said you'd never steal my voice!

**Captain Hook**: That was before your father destroyed my one chance at revenge.

**Ursula**: My father is a tyrant, but you're no better. Keep it. If this is what humans are like, no one deserves to hear it! (*exits*)

**Poseidon**: Ursula! (*to Hook*) Give me the shell.

**Captain Hook**: And give you the satisfaction of returning it to her? Now go, before I destroy it and everything you hold dear.

### *Going Home* (Season 3, Episode 11)

(*Captain Hook meets Tinker Bell on Neverland*)

**Tinker Bell**: I *was* a fairy, a long time ago. But then my wings were taken away. As for your "happy ending", you're on your own. (*raises her weapon when Hook reaches for something*) Watch it!

**Captain Hook**: It's not a weapon... in the traditional sense. Rum?

**Tinker Bell**: What's so important back home?

**Captain Hook**: The Dark One murdered the woman I love, and I intend to make him suffer for it.

**Tinker Bell**: And killing him is your "happy ending"? Even by doing so, you could end your own existence.

**Captain Hook**: I'd risk my life for two things; love and revenge. I lost the first, and if I die for my vengeance, then that's enough satisfaction for me.

### *Queen of Hearts* (Season 2, Episode 9)

**Captain Hook**: You must be Belle.

**Belle**: The Queen sent you, didn't she? She wants you to kill me.

**Captain Hook**: I'm not here to kill you, love. I'm here to rescue you.

**Belle**: Rescue me? Who are you?

**Captain Hook**: A friend. We haven't much time. Your father's life is in danger. He's being attacked by the very same monster who stole you away from your family in the first place.

**Belle**: What, Rumplestiltskin?

**Captain Hook**: The Dark One – he must be stopped. You spent more time with him than anyone. There are rumors of a magical weapon that has the power to kill him.

**Belle**: No, no, no, no. Let me talk to him. He's not a monster.

**Captain Hook**: Belle, your father's life hangs in the balance. I need to know what that weapon is, and where to find it.

**Belle**: I don't know what you're talking about, and I have no idea how to how to *kill* Rumplestiltskin.

**Captain Hook**: You don't?

**Belle**: No. And nor would I!

**Captain Hook**: Hm. Then I'm afraid I'm not here to rescue you. (*backhands Belle, knocking her unconscious*) So pretty, yet so useless. (*prepares to kill her*)

**Evil Queen**: (*enters*) No. Not useless. She's a valuable chess piece.

**Evil Queen**: Things are about to change in this world. *Radically*. I have plans to enact a curse that will take everyone to a far-off land.

**Captain Hook**: How will that help me?

**Evil Queen**: This new realm? It's a land without magic. Where the Dark One will be stripped of his powers. There, you won't need any magical weapon to kill him. You can do it with a mere flick of your wrist.

**Captain Hook**: Tell me what I have to do.

**Evil Queen**: There's one person I don't want following me to this new land. You're to see to it that doesn't happen.

**Captain Hook**: An assassination. Who is it you want me to dispose of?

**Evil Queen**: My mother.

### *Swan Song* (Season 5, Episode 11)

**Captain Hook**: I will kill your mother, and in exchange, you will bring me to a land without magic, where I can finally get my revenge on Rumplestiltskin.

**Evil Queen**: Indeed. But first, I need to know what kind of man you are. You don't know my mother. She's an expert at one thing: exploiting weakness. And I need to make sure you have *none*.

**Captain Hook**: Well, she sounds lovely. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

**Evil Queen**: Shut up.

(*Hook reunites with his father to kill him to pass the Evil Queen's test*)

**Brennan Jones**: Killian?

**Captain Hook**: Aye, but it's Captain Hook now. You once told me I had to decide what kind of man I wanted to be. Well, Father, this is who I became!

**Brennan Jones**: How is this possible? I left nearly a century ago!

**Captain Hook**: We both found a way to cheat death.

**Brennan Jones**: That we did. Your brother?

**Captain Hook**: Liam was not so fortunate.

**Brennan Jones**: But you... look at you! You grew up! Where have you been?

**Captain Hook**: Neverland. I was biding my time until I found a way to kill myself a crocodile. It's a tale of woe and revenge, but one that you don't need to be concerned with. It's *your* tale that matters. So tell me, Father, where does a scoundrel like you run after he's sold his sons into servitude?!

**Brennan Jones**: Oh, I'm sorry, Killian. Truly, I am. I ran. I didn't get far. Not long after I left you and Liam, I got caught and put under a Sleeping Curse.

**Captain Hook**: A Sleeping Curse? How the bloody hell are you awake now?

**Brennan Jones**: How does anyone break a curse? True Love's Kiss.

**Captain Hook**: Who could *ever* find a way to love you?

**Brennan Jones**: My nurse. I could hear her speaking as I slumbered. Her voice was so kind, so gentle. She made me see the error of my ways. I fell in love with her, and she with me. She changed me. I just... I just wish that I'd known her when we were together. You could've had the father you wanted. The father you *deserved*. I'm so sorry.

**Captain Hook**: Where is this woman?

**Brennan Jones**: A few years after we married, she fell ill. The plague. She never recovered.

**Captain Hook**: I came here to kill you, Father. Your life was the price I had to pay to finally get my revenge... But we've both lost too much.

**Brennan Jones**: You're going to spare me?

**Captain Hook**: In a manner of speaking. The world must believe you're dead. The Queen, *everyone*, must think I killed you. I can secure you a letter of transit to take you far from this place. Maybe you can start again.

**Brennan Jones**: You'll come with me?

**Captain Hook**: No. (*about Milah*) You see, I had a love too, and she was taken from me. You can't destroy the plague that took yours, but I *can* destroy the plague that took mine. I must continue on.

**Brennan Jones**: I hope you find peace, son.

**Captain Hook**: We must hurry. Any delay will arouse suspicion. I'll bring the letter of transit tonight.

**Brennan Jones**: Actually... would it be possible to bring two?

**Captain Hook**: Two?

**Brennan Jones**: My wife and I. We had a son.

**Captain Hook**: You named your boy Liam, after my brother, after the son you *abandoned*. Was he really that easy to replace?

**Brennan Jones**: I wasn't trying to replace him, I was trying to honor him, to honor you both! So I'd remember never to make the same mistake.

**Captain Hook**: No, people don't change... I saw what you said to him in there! It's the same thing you said to me! It was a lie then, and it's a lie now!

**Brennan Jones**: Killian, please, it's not true. I *have* changed. I would never leave him.

**Captain Hook**: But you would leave *me*. (*burns Brennan's letter of transit*)

**Brennan Jones**: Killian, please, what are you doing?!

**Captain Hook**: Deciding what kind of man I want to be. You see, if the Queen discovers that I've deceived her, I might not get what I need, and I can't have that. You're just not worth it. (*stabs Brennan in the stomach*)

**Brennan Jones**: (*falls to the ground*) Killian... it's never too late. You can change. Be a different man. (*dies*)

### *Queen of Hearts* (Season 2, Episode 9)

**Evil Queen**: You remember Claude?

**Captain Hook**: Can't say that I do.

**Evil Queen**: You killed him in the cell block.

**Captain Hook**: Ah, yes. I didn't recognize him without my hook in his neck.

**Captain Hook**: Now have some honor, and kill me.

**Queen of Hearts**: Honor? For the pirate who snuck into my palace to assassinate me?

**Captain Hook**: At your daughter's behest.

**Queen of Hearts**: She should've come. She should've killed me herself. (*removes her hand from Hook's chest*)

**Captain Hook**: Mercy seems a bit out of character.

**Queen of Hearts**: Oh, not mercy, Hook. You're going to help me. Regina knows my methods better than anyone. If I was controlling you, she'd know. This has to be your choice.

**Captain Hook**: Why should I?

**Queen of Hearts**: Because, my dear, I'm the only one who can give you what you want.

**Captain Hook**: Is that so?

**Queen of Hearts**: This curse my daughter plans to enact? This new land she's taking everyone to? You won't remember who you are. So tell me, Captain – how do you expect to kill someone, when you can't even remember him? But, if you do what I say, I'll make sure you not only kill him, but that you remember every single moment.

## After First Curse

### *The Doctor* (Season 2, Episode 5)

**Captain Hook**: (*fails to gain the heroes' trust*) Good for you! You bested me. I can count the amount of people who've done that on one hand.

**Emma Swan**: That supposed to be funny? Who are you?

**Captain Hook**: Killian Jones, but most people have taken to call me by my more colorful moniker... Hook.

**Captain Hook**: You need me alive.

**Emma Swan**: Why?

**Captain Hook**: Because we both want the same thing - to get back to your land.

**Emma Swan**: You would say anything to save yourself. Why are we supposed to believe you now?

**Captain Hook**: I arranged for transport with Cora. But, seeing how resourceful you are, I'll offer you the same deal. I'll help you, if you promise to take me along.

**Emma Swan**: How are you going to help us get home?

**Captain Hook**: The ashes will open a portal, but, to find your land, she needs more. There's an enchanted compass. Cora seeks it. I'll help you obtain it before she does.

**Emma Swan**: So Cora won't make it to Storybrooke, and we'll be one step closer to getting home.

**Snow White**: Sounds too good to be true.

**Captain Hook**: There's only one way to find out.

**Emma Swan**: You tell me one thing, and whatever you say, I better believe it. Why does Captain Hook want to go to Storybrooke?

**Captain Hook**: To exact revenge on the man who took my hand. Rumplestiltskin.

### *Tallahassee* (Season 2, Episode 6)

**Captain Hook**: (*climbing beanstalk to find Enchanted Compass*) You volunteered to come up here because you were the most motivated. You need to get back to a child.

**Emma Swan**: That's not perception. That's eavesdropping.

**Captain Hook**: Ah, but you don't want to abandon him the way *you* were abandoned.

**Emma Swan**: Was I?

**Captain Hook**: Like I said, an open book.

**Emma Swan**: How would you know that?

**Captain Hook**: I spent many years in Neverland, home of the Lost Boys. They all share the same look in their eyes... the look you get when you've been left alone.

**Emma Swan**: Yeah, well, my world ain't Neverland.

**Captain Hook**: But an orphan's an orphan. Love has been all too rare in your life, hasn't it? Have you ever been in love?

**Emma Swan**: (*hesitates*) No. I have never been in love.

**Emma Swan**: Who's Milah on the tattoo?

**Captain Hook**: Someone from long ago.

**Emma Swan**: Where is she?

**Captain Hook**: She's gone.

**Emma Swan**: Gold... Rumplestiltskin. He took more than your hand from you, didn't he? That's why you want to kill him.

**Captain Hook**: For someone who's never been in love, you're quite perceptive, aren't you?

**Emma Swan**: Maybe I was once.

**Captain Hook**: (*Emma chains Hook to the wall in the Giants' Lair*) What are you doing?

**Emma Swan**: Hook, I - I - I can't -

**Captain Hook**: Emma, look at me. Have I told you a lie? I brought you here. I risked my own safety to help you. The compass is in your hand. Why do this to me now?

**Emma Swan**: I can't take a chance that I'm wrong about you. I'm sorry.

**Captain Hook**: You're sorry? You're sorry?! I got you here! I got you the compass!

**Emma Swan**: *I* got the compass.

**Captain Hook**: Well, you're just going to leave me here to die? Have that beast to eat me, to crush my bones?

**Emma Swan**: He's not a beast. And you're not going to die. I just need a head start, that's all. (*exits*)

**Captain Hook**: Swan. Swan! Swan!

### *Queen of Hearts* (Season 2, Episode 9)

(The *Queen of Hearts and Captain Hook trap Emma, Snow White, Mulan and Aurora in Rumplestiltskin's Cell*)

**Emma Swan**: Hook, wait. Please don't do this. My son is in Storybrooke. He needs me.

**Captain Hook**: Perhaps you should've considered that before you abandoned me on that beanstalk.

**Emma Swan**: You would've done the same.

**Captain Hook**: Actually, no. (*shows magic bean*) Do you know what this is, Emma?

**Emma Swan**: The bean that the giant kept.

**Captain Hook**: Yes, indeed. A pirate always keeps a souvenir of his conquest, but this... Well, this is much more than a mere trinket. This is a symbol. Something that was once magical, full of hope, possibility. Now look at it; dried up, dead, useless. Much like you. The time for making deals is done, just as I'm done with you.

(*Emma and Hook fight for the Enchanted Compass*)

**Captain Hook**: Good form. But not good enough. (*knocks Emma onto the ground*) Normally, I'd prefer to do other more enjoyable activities with a woman on her back. With my life on the line, you've left me no choice. A bit of advice? When I jab you with my sword, you'll feel it. You might want to quit.

**Emma Swan**: Why would I do that when I'm winning? (*Emma grabs the compass and punches Hook out cold*)

### *The Outsider* (Season 2, Episode 11)

**Belle**: Uh, sorry, the library's not open yet.

**Captain Hook**: Oh, I'm not here for the books, love.

**Belle**: You. You're the one that broke into my cell at the Queen's palace. You wanted to kill Rumplestiltskin.

**Captain Hook**: Oh, I still do. But right now I'll settle for *you*.

**Belle**: (*about Rumplestiltskin*) You stole his wife.

**Captain Hook**: Tell me something, love. If a woman comes to you and begs you to take her away, is that theft?

**Belle**: Why would she leave him?

**Captain Hook**: Because he was a coward. And because she loved me. (*about Baelfire's Shawl*) I should have burned this the moment I acquired it.

**Belle**: Why didn't you?

**Captain Hook**: Because she made it.

**Belle**: I'm sorry she died, but vengeance? Vengeance won't bring her back.

**Captain Hook**: Died? Like it was some kind of accident? Is that what he told you?

**Belle**: Well, he didn't say.

**Captain Hook**: No, of course not. Of course he'd leave out the most important detail of her passing.

**Belle**: And what would that be?

**Captain Hook**: He killed her. He ripped out her heart, and he crushed it right in front of me.

**Belle**: No.

**Captain Hook**: Oh, yes.

**Belle**: No!

**Captain Hook**: Yes. He will do anything - *anything* - to hold on to his power. Why do you think anyone who's ever gotten close to him has either run away, or been killed? Now, what makes you think you're any different? Tell me something, darling. Why would you want to fight for a man like that?

**Belle**: Because I still see good in him. Because I believe he's changed. Because his heart is true. And yours? Yours is *rotten*.

**Captain Hook**: (*to Rumplestiltskin*) Do it! Kill me! (*to Belle*) He has to show you how *powerful* he is!

**Belle**: (*to Rumplestiltskin*) No, Rumple, this is what he wants. To destroy every bit of good in you!

**Captain Hook**: (*to Rumplestiltskin*) Rip my heart out. Kill me like you did Milah, and then I'll finally be reunited with her!

**Rumplestiltskin**: He has to die, Belle!

**Belle**: No! No, he doesn't! There's still good in you. I see it. I've always seen it. Please. Please show me I'm not wrong.

**Rumplestiltskin**: (*reluctantly steps away from Captain Hook*) You take your little ship, and sail, until you fall off the edge of the world. I never want to see you again.

**Rumplestiltskin**: (*Hook shoots Belle, and she falls over the Storybrooke Town Line and loses her memories*) Belle?! Belle? Belle!

**Belle**: Who's Belle?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Oh, no. No, no, no, no...

**Captain Hook**: Oh, fear not. She'll live. She'll just have no idea who you are.

**Rumplestiltskin**: What you've done cannot be undone!

**Captain Hook**: Well now you finally know how it feels!

### *In the Name of the Brother* (Season 2, Episode 12)

**Emma Swan**: (*after Hook shoots Belle, a car enters Storybrooke, hitting Hook and crashing*) Your ribs are broken.

**Captain Hook**: That must be why it hurts when I laugh. (*about Rumplestiltskin*) Did you see his face? His one true love gone in an instant! (*to Rumplestiltskin*) Just like Milah, crocodile, when you took her from me!

**Rumplestiltskin**: But you took her first. (*kicks Hook in the face*)

**Emma Swan**: Gold, are you insane?!

**Rumplestiltskin**: Yes, I am!

**Emma Swan**: You're awfully chipper for a guy who just failed to kill his enemy, then got hit by a car.

**Captain Hook**: Well, my ribs may be broken, but everything else is still intact, which is more than can be said for all the other bad days I've had. Plus I did some quality damage to my foe.

**Emma Swan**: You hurt Belle.

**Captain Hook**: I hurt his heart. Belle is just where he keeps it. He killed my love. I know the feeling.

**Emma Swan**: Keep smiling, buddy. He's on his feet, immortal, has magic, and you hurt his girl. If I had to pick dead guy of the year, I'd pick you.

### *Tiny* (Season 2, Episode 13)

**Regina Mills**: Hello, Hook.

**Captain Hook**: Regina.

**Regina Mills**: Expecting my mother? The one you were supposed to kill?

**Captain Hook**: Oh, that. Well, I didn't want to deprive you of a happy reunion.

**Regina Mills**: Well, it's your lucky day. She and I have made amends.

**Captain Hook**: And you're here to thank me? How sweet.

### *The Evil Queen* (Season 2, Episode 20)

**Captain Hook**: I killed Rumplestiltskin. I'm sated. Replete. My life's purpose met.

**Tamara**: I wish I could have been there to see you stab the Dark One.

**Captain Hook**: Well, look who's up to speed.

**Tamara**: I'm a quick learner.

**Captain Hook**: Then you know my work is done!

**Greg Mendell**: Yeah, I don't think so. Take a look. (*Greg and Tamara reveal that Rumplestiltskin is alive and well*)

**Captain Hook**: No. No!

**Tamara**: He's alive, Hook.

**Greg Mendell**: He beat you. Now this guy has some powerful magic here, mate. He's untouchable. You'll never get another chance to take him down.

**Captain Hook**: Oh, I will. I will indeed.

**Tamara**: Not unless we help you.

**Captain Hook**: How can *you* help *me*?

**Tamara**: We know how to kill magical creatures.

**Captain Hook**: And the price?

**Greg Mendell**: I need you to help me find someone. My father. He was taken in this town a long time ago.

**Captain Hook**: Why the bloody hell do you think I'll be able to help you find your father?

**Greg Mendell**: Because you know the woman who took him - Regina.

**Captain Hook**: You ever wonder if this constant pursuit for revenge is the reason we have no one who cares for us? I mean, when all this is over, and I know the crocodile is dead, for good and all, I'll have nothing to look forward to. My life will be empty. Revenge may sate your being, but don't misunderstand me, my dear, it's an end, not a beginning.

**Regina Mills**: For you, maybe. Not me. I have Henry. And destroying Storybrooke? Well, that seems like a small price to pay to allow us to live in peace.

**Captain Hook**: (*about the Enchanted Cuff on Regina*) They rigged it with something that blocks your magic. It's impressive.

**Regina Mills**: So little bitty Owen does grown-up magic of his own now?

**Greg Mendell**: It's not magic. Actually, this is something much better. Science. (*Regina attempts to remove the cuff*) You can stop doing that. It's not gonna work. You might be able to get rid of the leather, but inside are the toughest metals and machinery known to man, and right now they're counteracting every magic bone in your body.

**Tamara**: Which one was she?

**Greg Mendell**: Uh, she was the Queen. The Evil Queen.

**Regina Mills**: Yes, I was the Queen.

**Greg Mendell**: But now, here, you're *nothing*.

**Regina Mills**: And what are *you*?

**Greg Mendell**: I'm just a man. A man on a mission.

**Regina Mills**: All this just to try to find your father. I already told you, I don't know where -

**Greg Mendell**: Yes, you do. But that's not my mission.

**Regina Mills**: Then what is?

**Greg Mendell**: I'm not telling you.

### *And Straight On 'Til Morning* (Season 2, Episode 22)

**Henry Mills**: We have to work together.

**Captain Hook**: (*enters*) From the mouths of babes, I'd say the lad has a point.

**Prince Charming**: (*punches Hook in the face*) That was for the last time we met.

**Captain Hook**: Bloody hell.

**Prince Charming**: (*draws his gun*) Tell us why you're here before I use something *other* than my fist.

**Captain Hook**: I think threatening to kill me seems a bit redundant when we're all about to die anyway.

**Emma Swan**: No thanks to you. Regina just told us you were working with Tamara and Greg to get your revenge.

**Captain Hook**: Well, that was *before* they told me I had to die to get it.

**Emma Swan**: We don't have time for this. We have a real problem.

**Captain Hook**: Which is why I'm here, 'cause staring death in the face has made me realize if there's one thing I want more than my revenge, it's my life! So should we stop this thing now, and *then* resume bickering?

**Regina Mills**: There is no stopping it. The best thing I can do is slow it down, but that will only delay the inevitable.

**Prince Charming**: Or give us the time we need.

**Snow White**: The time for what?

**Prince Charming**: Steal back the beans. Use them to get everyone into the Enchanted Forest before Storybrooke is gone.

**Emma Swan**: How? We don't even know where Greg and Tamara are.

**Captain Hook**: Well, I do. I can help.

**Emma Swan**: (*about Henry*) The kid just lost his father today. I'm not letting him lose a mother too.

**Captain Hook**: His father? Who's Henry's father?

**Emma Swan**: Neal.

**Captain Hook**: Baelfire?

**Emma Swan**: Yeah.

**Regina Mills**: Enough waiting around, let's go.

**Captain Hook**: Go? Where? I thought we were saving the town?

**Prince Charming**: We already did.

**Emma Swan**: We need to get Henry. Greg and Tamara took him through a portal.

**Captain Hook**: Well, I offer my ship and my services to help follow them.

**Regina Mills**: Well that's great Hook, but how do we track them?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Leave that to me. I can get us to where we need to go.

**Snow White**: Well, let's do it!

### *The Heart of the Truest Believer* (Season 3, Episode 1)

**Regina Mills**: Greg Mendell said something funny to me. He said I'm a villain, and that villains don't get happy endings. You believe that?

**Captain Hook**: I hope not, or we've wasted our lives.

(*the group captures a mermaid aboard the* Jolly Roger*, who loudly blows into a seashell*)

**Prince Charming**: What did you do?

**Neverland Mermaid**: Let me go.

**Regina Mills**: Not until you tell us! Or we *make* you tell us.

**Snow White**: *Threatening* her isn't the way to motivate her!

**Regina Mills**: Well I'm all out of fish food!

**Captain Hook**: Doesn't matter if you get her to talk, you can't trust her. Mermaids are liars.

**Emma Swan**: Of course they are.

**Snow White**: Maybe they're just scared of Pan! If we let her go, maybe they'll be on our side!

**Regina Mills**: *Or* maybe she and her friends will come right back to kill us!

**Neverland Mermaid**: I don't need my friends to kill you. You'll kill yourselves. Now let me go!

**Prince Charming**: (*a storm begins*) What the hell?

**Captain Hook**: It's a storm! (*points to mermaid*) *She* called it. Don't let her go! She'll swim off and leave us all to die. At least with her we've got leverage.

**Prince Charming**: (*to mermaid*) Stop the storm, then we let you go. (*mermaid shakes her head, prompting Charming to hold his sword to her neck*)

**Regina Mills**: (*chuckles*) That's more like it, Charming. Filet the bitch!

**Prince Charming**: (*notices Snow White's shock*) No. We're not barbarians.

**Regina Mills**: What we're going to be is dead!

**Captain Hook**: Hold on! I'm gonna turn around. (*turns the ship around*) I've outrun many a storm.

**Regina Mills**: (*to mermaid*) Make it stop or *die*!

**Snow White**: We are *not* killers!

**Neverland Mermaid**: Yes, you are! And *you* brought this death upon yourselves.

**Snow White**: This is why we should free her!

**Regina Mills**: Okay, that feel-good nonsense Snow *might* play in the Enchanted Forest, but *this*? This is Neverland!

**Regina Mills**: (*Emma, Snow, Charming, Regina and Hook arrive on Neverland's shore*) We don't have to do it this way. I can fix the *Jolly Roger*, my magic is powerful enough. We can execute the pirate's plan.

**Emma Swan**: Sneak attack? Let's not be naive. Save your magic. We'll need it later, because Pan already knows we're here. It's time we stop running. Gold was right. This land is run on belief. All of us have been too busy being at each other's throats to be believers. I was as wrong as anyone else. It's time for all of us to believe. Not in magic, but in each other.

**Regina Mills**: You want to be friends? After everything that's happened between all of us?

**Emma Swan**: I don't want to expect that. I know there's a lot of history here and a lot of hate.

**Captain Hook**: Actually, I quite fancy you from time to time when you're not yelling at me.

**Emma Swan**: We don't need to be friends. What we need to know is the *only* way to get Henry back is cooperation.

**Prince Charming**: (*about Regina and Hook*) With her? With him? No, Emma, we have to do this the right way.

**Emma Swan**: No, we don't! We just need to succeed. And the way we do that is by just being who we are - a hero, a villain, a pirate. It doesn't matter which, because we're gonna need all those skills whether we can stomach them or not.

**Regina Mills**: And what's your skill, savior?

**Emma Swan**: I'm a mother, and now I'm also your leader. So either help me get my son back or get out of the way.

### *Lost Girl* (Season 3, Episode 2)

**Emma Swan**: (*trying to work the Map of Neverland*) My name is Emma Swan.

**Captain Hook**: I'd wager the solution to Pan's riddle is a bit more complicated than that.

**Snow White**: (*to Emma*) Don't hold anything back.

**Emma Swan**: I'm Henry's mother. I used to live in Boston, and I was a bail bondsperson. I'm now the sheriff of Storybrooke.

**Regina Mills**: That election was a sham. Are we really doing this?

**Snow White**: (*to Emma*) Don't you think maybe you're leaving some things out?

**Emma Swan**: I'm the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, which apparently makes me the product of True Love. I was born in the Enchanted Forest and I was sent through a portal in a tree so that I could break a curse.

**Prince Charming**: And you were able to break the curse because you're the...

**Snow White**: Come on. You don't need to be embarrassed to say it.

**Captain Hook**: Say what?

**Regina Mills**: The "s" word.

**Emma Swan**: I'm the savior. (*everyone watches eagerly, but the parchment remains blank*) I don't get it. I said I'm the savior! There's nothing I've denied more than that!

**Emma Swan**: The map is working. We know where Henry is!

**Regina Mills**: Where?

**Captain Hook**: We're here at the southern tip of the isle, in the middle of the Dark Jungle, and Pan's camp lies due north.

**Emma Swan**: That's where he's keeping Henry.

**Regina Mills**: What are we waiting for?

**Captain Hook**: Well, the terrain's not easy. There will undoubtedly be some nasty impediments along the way.

**Prince Charming**: We should prepare. We only made it out of our last encounter because Pan let us. We need a new plan.

**Emma Swan**: Agreed. It's time we stop playing his game and he starts playing ours.

**Regina Mills**: And if I disagree?

**Emma Swan**: Go ahead, but I think you know our best chance is together.

**Regina Mills**: You better be right.

### *Quite a Common Fairy* (Season 3, Episode 3)

**Emma Swan**: We should be getting close to Pan's lair. Going in a straight line course... (*looks at Map of Neverland*) Son of a - How is it now *behind* us?

**Snow White**: How can that be?

**Regina Mills**: You got us lost!

**Captain Hook**: No, she didn't. It's the camp. Pan's moving it.

**Prince Charming**: He's playing tricks on us.

**Emma Swan**: If Pan's camp keeps moving, how are we gonna find Henry?

**Regina Mills**: (*about Peter Pan's Campsite*) How are we going to find it?

**Captain Hook**: By using someone he trusts.

**Prince Charming**: Who? Because I guess he certainly doesn't trust *you*.

**Captain Hook**: A fairy who lived here when I was about. She might still be on the island. She'd be an inside source; knows all about the camp, can get us in. She might even have some pixie dust left. Perhaps we could fly in.

**Emma Swan**: You mean fairy dust.

**Prince Charming**: No, pixie dust. It's stronger. Like nuclear fairy dust.

**Emma Swan**: Wait. A fairy? Tinker Bell? (*Regina appears concerned*)

**Captain Hook**: You know her?

**Emma Swan**: Every kid in the world knows her.

**Regina Mills**: That's a bad idea! Mark my words. This Tinker Bell is not going to save us.

**Captain Hook**: (*about Charming being hit with an arrow poisoned with Dreamshade*) I saw what happened to you, mate. Let me see.

**Prince Charming**: The arrow only nicked me.

**Captain Hook**: I'm sorry, mate.

**Prince Charming**: Do you know how long?

**Captain Hook**: Days. Weeks at most. You won't see summer. It's a really bad break. (*about Snow White*) You might want to tell her.

**Prince Charming**: No.

### *Good Form* (Season 3, Episode 5)

**Captain Hook**: It appears Neal marked his days trapped on this island.

**Snow White**: What's wrong?

**Emma Swan**: Look here. Neal stopped counting.

**Snow White**: 'Cause he got off the island?

**Emma Swan**: He was here longer.

**Prince Charming**: Then, why would he -

**Emma Swan**: Because he lost hope.

**Regina Mills**: You got that from scribbles?

**Emma Swan**: I got that because it's what *I* did, every time I went to a new foster home. I counted days until counting seemed pointless.

**Prince Charming**: You think the same thing is happening to Henry?

**Emma Swan**: Pan said it would.

**Prince Charming**: Hey, we're gonna rescue him.

**Emma Swan**: Yeah, *I* know that, and *you* know that, but *Henry* doesn't know that. Pan wants him to lose faith.

**Regina Mills**: So, what? You want to send him a message? Because I haven't seen a Neverland post office. What are you suggesting?

**Emma Swan**: We take a page from Pan, and we start being clever. We need to send a simple sign, a sign that we're coming.

**Regina Mills**: With Lost Boys running around trying to kill us all?

**Snow White**: Maybe it's time we use that to our advantage.

**Captain Hook**: What would you like to yell at me about now, Dave?

**Prince Charming**: Stay away from my daughter.

**Captain Hook**: I guess she can take care of herself. She doesn't need your parenting, which is a good thing.

**Prince Charming**: What does that mean?

**Captain Hook**: It means you're gonna die in a day or so, anyway.

**Prince Charming**: Nothing I can do about that. But, if I do die -

**Captain Hook**: When.

**Prince Charming**: - It'll be in helping my family, and that something someone like you can't understand.

**Captain Hook**: What if I told you there's a way to save you?

**Prince Charming**: I'd say no, 'cause anything that takes us off course of saving Henry is selfish. But of course *you* would think that was the way to go.

**Captain Hook**: Bugger off, you think I'm being selfish? I'm risking my life for *all* of you, every moment I'm here aligned against him!

**Prince Charming**: Please, you're not here out of any nobility! You're here for Emma! And let me tell you something else. You're *never* gonna get her. I'll see to that.

**Captain Hook**: It's a good thing you're gonna die then.

**Captain Hook**: The dreamshade has almost reached your heart. It's hours now. You have to tell your family.

**Prince Charming**: No. Not when I can still help them save Henry.

**Captain Hook**: Catch your breath mate, or the little time you have will be less. What's that?

**Prince Charming**: It's a military insignia. "Jones". You know him?

**Captain Hook**: Aye, he was my captain and my brother. We voyaged this infernal island a long time ago. This was on the strap of his satchel. My brother lost it during a duel with Pan. It must have washed down with the rains from the storms that wrecked the *Jolly Roger*.

**Prince Charming**: From where?

**Captain Hook**: There. Dead Man's Peak. I thought it was gone forever.

**Prince Charming**: What was gone?

**Captain Hook**: No, it's too dangerous.

**Prince Charming**: What's too dangerous? If you know something that can help us, don't hold back.

**Captain Hook**: If this insignia survived all this years, then perhaps my brother's satchel did as well. And inside this satchel is a sextant, that can help us to decode Neal's star map that can get us off this island.

**Prince Charming**: I know now how I'm gonna spend my last hours. We're gonna find that thing.

**Captain Hook**: Well, look, you might reach the top, but you'll die before you return!

**Prince Charming**: Then come with me and make sure the sextant gets back to Emma. You ready to be a hero?

**Prince Charming**: You lost someone, didn't you?

**Captain Hook**: This is where we ascend. I'll climb ahead and throw down the rope.

**Prince Charming**: He was your brother, right? I had a brother, too, you know. A twin. He died before I ever met him.

**Captain Hook**: There were two of you? I can barely stomach one.

**Prince Charming**: Ah, you would've liked him. He was a thief and a liar.

**Captain Hook**: Yeah, you would've liked my brother. He could be a stubborn ass.

**Captain Hook**: What do you want?

**Peter Pan**: To offer you a deal. Come back and work for me, like the old days.

**Captain Hook**: I don't miss the old days.

**Peter Pan**: What if I were to offer you something hard to come by? Passage off the island?

**Captain Hook**: Still not interested.

**Peter Pan**: What if I were to sweeten the deal? You can take someone with you. Emma.

**Captain Hook**: Emma would never leave her son.

**Peter Pan**: She did once before, and you can be there to pick up the pieces. We've known each other a very long time, Killian. We've done business before and I think this is the perfect time to restart that relationship.

**Captain Hook**: What if I'm not interested?

**Peter Pan**: Of course you are. Because that's what I've always liked about you. You're good at surviving.

**Captain Hook**: What do you want me to do?

**Peter Pan**: Be in my employ. Do my dirty work.

**Captain Hook**: What dirty work?

**Peter Pan**: When the time comes, I'll let you know. But first, I need a signal that you've taken my deal.

**Captain Hook**: So my word right now wouldn't be good enough?

**Peter Pan**: You know me. I like action. I'll know you've taken my deal when I see the Prince's dead body up on that peak.

**Captain Hook**: Oh, you'll see that anyway. He's on his last legs thanks to dreamshade.

**Peter Pan**: I want to see you kill him before the poison. I want to see your hook inside his body.

**Captain Hook**: And what if I don't take your offer?

**Peter Pan**: Remember the last time you didn't listen to me.

**Captain Hook**: In this canteen is the water that will stop the dreamshade, and *will* save your life.

**Prince Charming**: That's why you brought me up here?

**Captain Hook**: Yes.

**Prince Charming**: You knew I wouldn't come on my own. That I wouldn't leave my family.

**Captain Hook**: That you were stubborn? Yes, I gathered that rather quickly.

**Prince Charming**: Well, give it to me.

**Captain Hook**: There's something you need to know first. Because its power comes from the island, once you drink this water, you can *never* leave Neverland.

**Prince Charming**: It's a small price to pay for what I get in return... the chance to save my grandson and to help my family get home.

**Emma Swan**: (*about Prince Charming*) Did you really save his life?

**Captain Hook**: That surprise you?

**Emma Swan**: Well, you and David aren't exactly - How do you say it? - *mates*.

**Captain Hook**: Doesn't mean I'd leave your father to perish on this island.

**Emma Swan**: Thank you.

**Captain Hook**: Um... Perhaps gratitude is in order now.

**Emma Swan**: Uh, yeah. That's what the "Thank you" was for.

**Captain Hook**: That all your father's life is worth to you?

**Emma Swan**: Please. You couldn't handle it.

**Captain Hook**: Perhaps *you're* the one who couldn't handle it. (*Emma kisses Hook and they briefly make out*) That was, um...

**Emma Swan**: A one-time thing.

**Peter Pan**: You really should have taken my deal.

**Captain Hook**: It looks like I don't need your help with Emma after all, mate.

**Peter Pan**: What, you think that kiss actually meant something?

**Captain Hook**: I do. I think it means she's finally starting to see me for the man I am.

**Peter Pan**: What? That you're a one-handed pirate with a drinking problem? I'm no grown-up, but I'm pretty sure that's less than appealing.

**Captain Hook**: A man of honor.

**Peter Pan**: So tell me, what would a "man of honor" such as yourself do with a big, fat secret?

**Captain Hook**: Um, well that depends what the secret is.

**Peter Pan**: Baelfire. Neal. Whatever name he goes by these days. The guy Emma loves. Henry's father.

**Captain Hook**: What of him? He's dead.

**Peter Pan**: No. I'm afraid not. He's alive. That's not even the best part. He's in Neverland.

**Captain Hook**: Is he?

**Peter Pan**: Oh, yes. Can you believe it? I'm sure that Emma would love to know that Henry's father is still alive. But I'd hate for that to get in the way of a *budding romance*. So I'll leave it up to you to tell her or not.

### *Ariel* (Season 3, Episode 6)

**Captain Hook**: (*discussing Echo Cave*) The only way to rescue someone from inside is to reveal a secret.

**Snow White**: A secret? That's all?

**Captain Hook**: Your darkest secret. Echo Cave derives its name from an old saying; "the deeper the lie, the more truth in its echo." The cave demands that you reveal a truth about yourself. A secret you would never admit to anyone.

**Emma Swan**: This is ridiculous.

**Captain Hook**: Don't kill the messenger, love.

**Emma Swan**: Even if we spill our guts, how do we know Neal's still alive in there?

**Captain Hook**: Because this is what Pan wants. He wants us to rescue him.

**Prince Charming**: Why?

**Captain Hook**: So that we reveal our secrets. He believes once we do, our secrets will destroy us.

**Emma Swan**: (*in Echo Cave*) So, what? Someone tells their secret and they sprout wings?

**Captain Hook**: I don't know the particulars, only what I've been told.

**Prince Charming**: Well, how do you know it'll work?

**Captain Hook**: There's only one way to find out, I suppose. I kissed Emma.

**Prince Charming**: You did *what*?

**Snow White**: David, now is not the time.

**Emma Swan**: I already told Mary Margaret, so technically it's not a secret. But it was just a kiss, how's that your darkest secret?

**Captain Hook**: It's what the kiss exposed. My secret is... I never thought I'd be capable of letting go of my first love, of my Milah, to believe that I could find someone else. That is, until I met you. (*a bridge begins forming to the the area where Neal is imprisoned*)

### *Dark Hollow* (Season 3, Episode 7)

**Emma Swan**: Pan's shadow? That's your way off the island?

**Neal Cassidy**: Unfortunately, it's the only way.

**Prince Charming**: We thought you learned how to navigate the stars?

**Neal Cassidy**: I know how to navigate the stars, but I can't fly.

**Snow White**: I'm guessing that's where the shadow comes in.

**Neal Cassidy**: That's why we have to capture it.

**Emma Swan**: Capture it? We've never been within ten feet of Pan unless he wanted us to be! Sneaking up on him to steal his shadow? That sounds insane!

**Captain Hook**: Except Pan's shadow is rarely with him. It's an entity unto itself. It can carry out his will from miles away.

**Prince Charming**: What does that mean for us?

**Neal Cassidy**: It means we can get his shadow without having to be anywhere near Pan, as long as we know where to look. I know where to look.

**Emma Swan**: Here it is. Your star map.

**Neal Cassidy**: It's not a star map. It's what we're gonna use to trap Pan's Shadow.

**Captain Hook**: A coconut? Are you daft?

**Neal Cassidy**: You came to Neverland on a pirate ship through a portal, but you draw the line at a magic coconut?

**Captain Hook**: Fair enough. What's out next stop on this mission?

**Neal Cassidy**: Dark Hollow.

**Emma Swan**: Really? Why couldn't it be called something like "Sunshine Valley" or "Rainbow Cove"? What exactly is it?

**Captain Hook**: Just what it sounds like. The darkest spot on the entire island. Any light that makes it's way in is snuffed out by the shadows that call it home. Even *I* manage to avoid it.

**Emma Swan**: Well, time to break tradition. Dark Hollow it is. That's where we're gonna find Pan's Shadow, right?

**Neal Cassidy**: Yeah. It's the only way we'll ever get back to Storybrooke.

**Neal Cassidy**: We light the candle and the Shadow's drawn to it. When it gets close enough, the flame will suck it in, we put the lid on, and it's trapped inside this bad boy.

**Captain Hook**: Sounds like a fine plan, except for one thing. Our lanterns went out. How the devil are we going to ignite that bloody thing?

**Neal Cassidy**: (*takes out pocket lighter*) Welcome to the 21st century.

**Emma Swan**: How's it coming over there, guys?

**Neal Cassidy**: Hang on. (*tries igniting the lighter near the coconut's candle wick*)

**Captain Hook**: Let me help.

**Neal Cassidy**: No, I've got it.

**Captain Hook**: I've only got one hand, I can do better than that!

**Neal Cassidy**: You know what? Now's not the time to try to impress Emma!

**Captain Hook**: Oh, you think that's what I doing?

**Emma Swan**: Really? You're doing this *now*?

**Captain Hook**: You heard her. Are we gonna stand here and argue or are we gonna get the candle lit? (*Hook snatches the lighter but fails to light it*)

**Neal Cassidy**: Harder than it looks, huh, pal? Let me see it. Give it to me!

**Emma Swan**: Guys, we don't have time for this. (*Peter Pan's Shadow enters*) We really don't have time for this!

**Tinker Bell**: I was wondering if I'd see you again, but if you've come to talk me into helping you before you've found a way off this island, I still -

**Prince Charming**: We've found one; or, we're about to.

**Tinker Bell**: Not sure I like the sound of "about to".

**Snow White**: Pan's Shadow. Emma went with Hook and Neal to capture it. That's our way off the island.

**Tinker Bell**: Capture Pan's Shadow? Yeah, I'm not lifting a finger until I see proof you've actually succeeded.

**Neal Cassidy**: (*enters with Emma, Hook and Pan's Shadow trapped inside the coconut*) Hey. Here's all the proof you'll need. Been a long time, Tink.

**Tinker Bell**: Bae, is it really you?

**Neal Cassidy**: Yeah, but most people call me Neal now.

**Captain Hook**: We did it. Are you finally ready to do your part, Tink?

**Tinker Bell**: Yes. Yes, I am.

**Neal Cassidy**: Uh, Emma.

**Emma Swan**: Neal.

**Neal Cassidy**: I - Listen, I just wanted to tell you that you're right. About Henry. He *is* all that matters. And if he's the only thing that came from us being together, I'd say we did alright.

**Emma Swan**: Yeah. Now let's go get our son back.

### *Think Lovely Thoughts* (Season 3, Episode 8)

(*Regina and Rumplestiltskin, with Pandora's Box, regroup with Emma, Snow White, Prince Charming, Captain Hook, Neal and Tinker Bell*)

**Neal Cassidy**: (*about Rumplestiltskin*) There's a prophecy that says that Henry will be his undoing. He didn't come here to protect him. He came here to kill him.

**Regina Mills**: (*to Rumplestiltskin*) That's why you didn't want to find Neal before you got Henry back... Because you knew he'd spill your secret.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Everything I did was to protect Henry, to rescue him from Pan.

**Emma Swan**: It all makes sense. You left before we even made shore.

**Snow White**: You wanted to get to Henry first...

**Prince Charming**: To be on his own...

**Captain Hook**: So no one could stop you...

**Regina Mills**: So you can *kill* him.

**Emma Swan**: It's not gonna happen, not unless you go through *all* of us first.

**Emma Swan**: There has to be a way for David to leave the island.

**Captain Hook**: Well, there isn't.

**Emma Swan**: He told me about your brother, what happened. I know it can't be easy to talk about, but -

**Captain Hook**: Well, then let's not, shall we? The water that cured David from dreamshade has connected him to the island. If he leaves, the connection is broken. The poison will kill him.

**Emma Swan**: What if we take some of the water with us? That way he stays connected. He can stay alive in Storybrooke.

**Captain Hook**: For how long? Once the water runs out, the dreamshade will take his life.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Unless there was another cure. You suddenly interested in what I have to say? Thought I wasn't to be trusted.

**Emma Swan**: You're not, but I'll take my chances.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Well, if you remember, I too was poisoned with dreamshade by a cowardly pirate. And yet -

**Emma Swan**: Yes, and we know how you cured yourself; with a candle that takes another person's life. David is not that selfish.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Oh, how noble. The point is, after my near-death experience, I discovered much about the poison. I believe I could create an elixir back in my shop.

**Emma Swan**: What's your price?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Well, this is quite the favor. I'd expect one of equal weight in return.

**Neal Cassidy**: No. When we get back to Storybrooke, you're gonna save David because it's the right thing to do. No deals, no favors, understand?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Fine. I'll do as you ask.

(*the group find Wendy Darling*)

**Rumplestiltskin**: She knows where Henry is.

**Neal Cassidy**: Is that true?

**Wendy Darling**: You don't understand.

**Snow White**: You're helping Pan?

**Wendy Darling**: He's keeping John and Michael alive, only if I do as he says.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Trust me, whatever he's promised, he *will* go back on his word.

**Wendy Darling**: And why should I trust a man who abandoned his own son?

**Regina Mills**: Because your brothers did. They trusted a woman named Belle. (*about Pandora's Box*) They helped her get this box so we can defeat Pan.

**Wendy Darling**: They're okay?

**Rumplestiltskin**: For now, and only if we succeed.

**Neal Cassidy**: Wendy, we *will* save John and Michael, I swear to God. But right now, I really need your help. Please.

**Wendy Darling**: Pan told Henry that he needs his heart to save magic. But it's a lie. He needs it to save *himself*.

**Captain Hook**: What do you mean?

**Wendy Darling**: Pan's dying. He needs the heart of the truest believer to absorb all the magic in Neverland. And once he does, he will be immortal, all powerful.

**Snow White**: And what happens to Henry?

**Wendy Darling**: Well, it's a trade. When Pan lives, Henry will die.

### *Save Henry* (Season 3, Episode 9)

(*Henry's heart is returned and he wakes up*)

**Neal Cassidy**: Woah, woah, woah. Take it easy, buddy.

**Henry Mills**: I'm sorry. I wanted to save magic.

**Emma Swan**: It's okay. It's okay.

**Henry Mills**: I wanted to be a hero.

**Prince Charming**: Hey, there's plenty of time for that.

**Snow White**: Right now, it's time to rest.

**Captain Hook**: Welcome back, young sir. Only the best for our guest of honor, don't you think? Captain's quarters.

**Regina Mills**: Come on, I'll tuck you in.

### *The New Neverland* (Season 3, Episode 10)

**Captain Hook**: I've made a decision when it comes to Emma. I'm gonna back off.

**Neal Cassidy**: Back off?

**Captain Hook**: For the sake of the boy. Let his parents have a fair shot without a devilishly handsome pirate standing in the way.

**Neal Cassidy**: You're serious?

**Captain Hook**: Yeah. I am devilishly handsome.

**Neal Cassidy**: Thanks, man.

**Captain Hook**: Don't thank me yet. You see, I'm in this for the long haul. You've already walked out on Emma once. Not so sure she'll let you back in.

### *Going Home* (Season 3, Episode 11)

**Emma Swan**: Neal, I'm sorry.

**Neal Cassidy**: Don't be. You got a boy who you've got to keep alive here.

**Emma Swan**: And you have to go back *there*.

**Neal Cassidy**: Yeah. Hey, this isn't over. I'll see both of you again.

**Captain Hook**: (*about Yellow Bug*) That's quite a vessel you captain there, Swan. There's not a day that won't go by that I won't think of you.

**Emma Swan**: Good.

**Regina Mills**: Emma, there's something I haven't told you.

**Emma Swan**: What now?

**Regina Mills**: When the curse washes over us, it will send us all back. Nothing will be left behind... including your memories. It's just what the curse does. Storybrooke will no longer exist. It won't *ever* have existed. So these last years will be gone from both your memories, and we'll just go back to being stories again.

**Emma Swan**: What will happen to us?

**Regina Mills**: I don't know.

**Emma Swan**: Doesn't sound like much of a happy ending.

**Regina Mills**: It's not. But I can give you one.

**Emma Swan**: You can preserve our memories?

**Regina Mills**: No, I can do what I did to everyone else in this town, and give you new ones.

**Emma Swan**: You cursed them and they were miserable.

**Regina Mills**: They didn't have to be. My gift to you is good memories, a good life for you and Henry. You'll never have given him up. You'll have always been together.

**Emma Swan**: You would do that?

**Regina Mills**: When I stop Pan's curse and you cross that town line, you will have the life you always wanted.

**Emma Swan**: But it won't be real.

**Regina Mills**: Well, your past won't. But your future will.

## Before Second Curse

### *New York City Serenade* (Season 3, Episode 12)

(*the citizens of the Enchanted Forest return after the reversal of the Dark Curse*)

**Snow White**: Our castle was destroyed in the curse.

**Captain Hook**: (*to Evil Queen*) Well played, Your Majesty. You laid waste to everything.

**Princess Aurora**: Not everything. (*regarding Evil Queen*) Her castle still stands.

**Evil Queen**: Of course it does. I protected it.

**Prince Charming**: Well, technically the castle doesn't belong to her. It was Snow's before she took it.

**Evil Queen**: Well, to be fair, I married into it.

**Snow White**: That you did. And now, we're taking it back. And *you* are coming with us.

**Evil Queen**: (*laughs*) You can't be serious.

**Snow White**: Regina, everyone out there is scared and confused. They need hope. What better way to do that then to return united? You're coming with us. I know you don't like it. You'll learn to. For our good. For yours.

**Captain Hook**: Listen, mate. The Enchanted Forest is your home. Mine is the *Jolly Roger*.

**Prince Charming**: Hook, you don’t even know if it's -

**Captain Hook**: Regina told me how that bloody thing worked. It returned all of our belongings to this land, as well as us. It means that somewhere out there is my ship. All I have to do is find her.

**Prince Charming**: And what if you can't?

**Captain Hook**: I'll just have to take another one, then, won't I? That's what pirates do.

**Prince Charming**: Huh. And here I thought you'd gone and changed.

**Captain Hook**: I tried the hero thing. Didn't take.

**Snow White**: So that's it? Emma's gone, and you're gonna go back to being a pirate?

**Captain Hook**: Back, my lady? I've *always* been a pirate.

### *The Jolly Roger* (Season 3, Episode 17)

**Captain Hook**: I know who has the *Jolly Roger*, and we're gonna take her back!

**Mr. Smee**: Whose funeral shall we be attending, sir?

**Captain Hook**: Blackbeard.

**Mr. Smee**: Blackbeard? But he's the most cutthroat pirate ever to hoist a sail! After you, of course.

**Captain Hook**: Which will make it all the more satisfying when I take my ship back and make him walk her lovely plank.

**Mr. Smee**: Let's not be hasty. We've been having fun robbing carriages, getting rich from it too! Maybe we should forget about the *Jolly Roger*. You said it yourself, we don't need a ship to be -

**Captain Hook**: She's not just a ship!

**Mr. Smee**: I'm fairly certain she is.

**Captain Hook**: She's more than that. I haven't been myself since we've returned, and I should've realized the reason why. It's because I don't have her.

**Mr. Smee**: Her? You talk about the vessel as though she's a woman.

**Captain Hook**: Women come and go Mr. Smee, but a pirate's life? It's forever.

(*Ariel teams up with Hook after learning that Blackbeard has kidnapped Prince Eric*)

**Captain Hook**: Didn't you see the fear Blackbeard's name struck into my crew? You don't become a pirate captain through mercy. If I were you, I'd prepare myself for the worst.

**Ariel**: Why? What are you saying? That you would kill Eric if you had him?

**Captain Hook**: You don't believe that?

**Ariel**: Well, honestly I was a little surprised to hear that you might be responsible for Eric's kidnapping after the stories that I've heard.

**Captain Hook**: What stories?

**Ariel**: Well, the ones of you helping reunite Snow White and her family in Neverland. Some people say that you're a hero.

**Captain Hook**: Don't believe every story you hear.

**Ariel**: Being good is nothing to be ashamed of! People change. Look at *me* - I have legs and I fell in love with a human. I don't think anyone saw that coming!

**Captain Hook**: *You* might have changed. *I* haven't. I'm a pirate and I always will be.

**Ariel**: Eric's not aboard. You have to get him to tell you where he is!

**Captain Hook**: You heard the lady. Where is he?

**Captain Blackbeard**: So that's what this was? A rescue mission for some wench? Ha! They were right about you, Hook. You *have* gone soft.

**Captain Hook**: I can either make this painful or *quite* painful. Now answer!

**Captain Blackbeard**: I have him stashed safe and sound on a deserted island, only I know where. I was planning to ransom him when the time was right.

**Ariel**: Whatever it is, I'll pay it.

**Captain Blackbeard**: Money is not what I'm after anymore.

**Ariel**: Then what is it that you want?

**Captain Blackbeard**: The satisfaction of proving Captain Hook is no longer a pirate.

**Captain Hook**: How are you going to prove that?

**Captain Blackbeard**: By giving you a choice. Surrender the ship to me, and I'll tell you where I'm holding her prince. Refuse, and he dies along with me.

(*Hook betrays Ariel*)

**Captain Hook**: The *Jolly Roger* is mine! Any man willing to swear an oath to me shall be given quarter. Those who don't, you're welcome to follow your former captain. You may release her, Mr. Smee.

**Ariel**: (*slaps Hook*) I was wrong about you, Captain. You're selfish and you're heartless. And *that* is what will bring you wasted years and endless torment. I feel sorry for you. You'll never be happy.

**Captain Hook**: Where do you think you're going?

**Ariel**: Eric is still out there, and I will find him, no matter what it takes.

## During Second Curse

### *Going Home* (Season 3, Episode 11)

(*Hook finds Emma after the Second Dark Curse is cast*)

**Captain Hook**: Swan. At last —

**Emma Swan**: Woah, do I know you?

**Captain Hook**: Look, I need your help. Something's happened. Something terrible. Your family is in trouble.

**Emma Swan**: My family's right here. Who are you?

**Captain Hook**: An old friend. Look, I know you can't remember me, but I can make you. (*kisses her*)

**Emma Swan**: (*kicks him in the groin*) The hell are you doing?

**Captain Hook**: A long shot! I had to try. I was hoping you felt as I did.

**Emma Swan**: What you'll feel is the handcuffs when I call the cops.

**Captain Hook**: Look, I know this seems crazy, but you have to listen to me. You have to remem—

(*Emma shuts the door on him*)

**Henry Mills**: Who was that?

**Emma Swan**: No idea.

### *New York City Serenade* (Season 3, Episode 12)

**Emma Swan**: *You*!

**Captain Hook**: I can explain.

**Emma Swan**: You are a stalker!

**Captain Hook**: Don't scream. Just hear me out! I don't do this very often, so treasure it, love. I've come to apologize.

**Emma Swan**: For trying to kiss me?

**Captain Hook**: I was simply trying to jog your memory.

**Emma Swan**: It's time for you to go. *Now*.

**Captain Hook**: Your parents are in great danger, Emma.

**Emma Swan**: You really have no idea what you're talking about.

**Captain Hook**: 'Cause you think you're an orphan? Because that's haunted you your whole life? I'm here to tell you everything you believed is wrong.

**Emma Swan**: You don't know me.

**Captain Hook**: Alas, I know you better than you know yourself. I have proof. Take a gander. Here's an address. If you wanna know who you really are, who your parents are, go there.

**Emma Swan**: Leave. Now.

**Captain Hook**: You've been there before. A year ago. You just don't remember.

**Emma Swan**: A year ago I was in Boston, until a fire destroyed my apartment and I moved to New York to have a fresh start with my son.

**Captain Hook**: Regina did really a number on you.

**Emma Swan**: You're a crazy person. Or a liar. Or both.

**Captain Hook**: I prefer dashing rapscallion. (*Emma gives him a death stare*) Scoundrel?

**Emma Swan**: Give me one good reason not to punch you in the face.

**Captain Hook**: You really don't believe me? Try using your superpower. Yep, I know about that. Use it. See that I'm telling the truth.

**Emma Swan**: Just because you believe something is true, does not make it real.

**Captain Hook**: Maybe. Maybe not. I know you, Swan. You sense something is off. Go to that address. Take a chance. Then you'll want to talk. And when you do I'll be in Central Park, by the entrance of the zoo. Don't do it for me, *or* you. Do it for your family. They need your help.

**Captain Hook**: Swan, I knew that'd work! It's good to see you again.

**Emma Swan**: (*about the address he gave her*) Why didn't you tell me it was Neal's place?

**Captain Hook**: I think the tone of your voice answers that quite clearly. You never would have gone if I had.

**Emma Swan**: What does Neal have you up to? Is he trying to get into Henry's life? How does he even know about him?

**Captain Hook**: I've already told I'm not here because of Neal. I'm here because your parents are in trouble. Their entire kingdom has been cursed, ripped back to Storybrooke.

**Emma Swan**: What are you talking about? My parents? Their kingdom? A curse? Do you know what you sound like?

**Captain Hook**: Like a madman, I'm sure. But it's true! Your parents need you. You're the only one who can save them. If you don't believe me at all, why did you come here?

**Emma Swan**: Because Neal has a camera with my son's name on it. How?

**Captain Hook**: Don't you see? That is proof of what I'm saying. Henry must have left that in the apartment when you were in New York last year.

**Emma Swan**: Not good enough. I want answers. *Real* ones.

**Captain Hook**: There's only one way you'll get those. (*shows Memory Potion*) Drink this.

**Emma Swan**: Drink the thing the crazy guy just offered me? No thank you.

**Captain Hook**: It'll help you remember everything you have lost. If one small part of you senses that, don't you owe it to yourself to find out if I'm right? What do you say, love? Take a leap of faith. Give it a go.

**Emma Swan**: Call me love one more time and you'll lose the other hand.

**Emma Swan**: (*after looking at the photographs from Henry's camera*) What the hell are these? We never lived in a town called Storybrooke. We never took a flight from Boston to New York. We never did any of this!

**Captain Hook**: So you believe me then?

**Emma Swan**: I don't know. You could have photoshopped these pictures.

**Captain Hook**: Photoshopped?

**Emma Swan**: Faked.

**Captain Hook**: If you think these are forgeries, then why'd you spring me from the brig? Because as much as you deny it, deep down, you know something's wrong. Deep down, you know I'm right.

**Emma Swan**: It's not possible. How can I forget all of this?

**Captain Hook**: I promise you there's an explanation.

**Emma Swan**: Not one that'll make sense.

**Captain Hook**: (*about Memory Potion*) If you drink this, it will.

**Emma Swan**: If what you're saying is true I'd have to give up my life here.

**Captain Hook**: It's all based on lies.

**Emma Swan**: It's real and it's pretty good. I have Henry. A job. A guy I love.

**Captain Hook**: Perhaps there's a man that you love in the life you've lost. Regardless, if you wanna find the truth, drink up. Do you really want to live a life of lies? You know this isn't right. Trust your gut, Swan. It will tell you what to do.

**Emma Swan**: Henry always says that.

**Captain Hook**: Then if you won't listen to me, then listen to your boy.

**Emma Swan**: (*drinks the potion and her memories are restored*) Hook.

**Captain Hook**: Did you miss me?

**Emma Swan**: Walsh, I can't marry you.

**Walsh**: It's too soon, huh?

**Emma Swan**: It's not that. I need to go home and take care of some things.

**Walsh**: Home? You said you were an orphan. You said it was just you and Henry, that *this* was your home.

**Emma Swan**: That wasn't a lie. There's a part of my life that I've been blocking out, and I think it would be impossible for you to understand.

**Walsh**: Come on. How do you know that? What changed overnight?

**Emma Swan**: Someone from my past showed up.

**Walsh**: Henry's father? Another ex?

**Emma Swan**: It's nothing like that. He's more like a ghost.

**Walsh**: Okay, so *that's* how I'm supposed to sleep at night? You're trading me in for a ghost?

**Emma Swan**: It kills me to have to make this choice at all, to leave us behind, my whole life.

**Walsh**: Emma. If you love this life, than keep it. Stay. Just stay.

**Emma Swan**: I can't. I wish you could see this the way I see it.

**Walsh**: And I wish you hadn't drank that potion.

**Emma Swan**: What?

**Walsh**: Just couldn't leave well enough alone!

**Emma Swan**: What are you talking about?

**Walsh**: It's too bad. I actually kind of liked you.

**Emma Swan**: Who are you? (*transforms into a Flying Monkey*) Really? (*after a brief battle, Emma defeats the monkey and it disappears*)

**Captain Hook**: Swan! What the blazes was that?

**Emma Swan**: A reminder that I was never safe. What I wanted - what I thought I could have - was not in the cards for the savior. We leave in the morning.

### *Witch Hunt* (Season 3, Episode 13)

(*the heroes discuss the mysterious Second Dark Curse*)

**Snow White**: We watched you drive over the town line with Henry, Regina started to cast her spell to take us all back to the Enchanted Forest, and then everything went black.

**Prince Charming**: And the next thing we remember is waking up in our beds like it was any other morning in Storybrooke.

**Snow White**: Except it clearly wasn't.

**Captain Hook**: Almost harvest time and you can't remember the planting. That's bad luck, mate.

**Emma Swan**: Clearly a year's passed. I was in New York, I know that it did.

**Prince Charming**: And we don't know where the hell we were. We don't even know if we left Storybrooke.

**Captain Hook**: Aye, you did. I was with you.

**Snow White**: In the Enchanted Forest?

**Captain Hook**: Regina's spell brought us back. We spent a brief time with a prince and princess named Phillip and Aurora. But I wasn't feeling the community spirit, so I ventured off on my own. The last I saw of you lot, you were making your way to Regina's castle.

**Emma Swan**: And now you're cursed. Why doesn't that surprise me?

**Snow White**: Regina seems as clueless as the rest of us. I'm not quite sure she was involved in this.

**Emma Swan**: So she says.

**Prince Charming**: (*to Hook*) I don't understand. If you left the Enchanted Forest *before* the curse, how did you know to find Emma and come to Storybrooke?

**Captain Hook**: As I was sailing the realms a bird landed on my ship's wheel with a note instructing me to retrieve Emma and bring her back here. There was a small vial of Memory Potion tied to its leg.

**Snow White**: Who send it?

**Captain Hook**: I assumed you did.

**Snow White**: They're being turned into flying monkeys?

**Captain Hook**: (*about Little John*) Yes, he took on simian form with the added bonus of wings.

**Snow White**: Did you think this is what happened to the missing dwarves, too?

**Prince Charming**: It would explain why we haven't found any trace of them.

**Emma Swan**: And Neal?

**Prince Charming**: No sign of him either. So, yeah, it's possible.

**Emma Swan**: Wouldn't be the first flying monkey I've dated.

**Regina Mills**: The person who escaped our trap disappeared in a cloud of green smoke, and now there are flying monkeys in this town? I think we know exactly who cursed us.

**Emma Swan**: (*joking*) The Wicked Witch of the West? (*Regina nods*) Seriously? She's real too?

**Captain Hook**: Says the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming.

**Emma Swan**: I don't get it. It's not like we're in Kansas. Why would the Wicked Witch of the West wanna come to Storybrooke?

### *The Tower* (Season 3, Episode 14)

(*Emma, Charming and Hook search Regina's office for clues*)

**Emma Swan**: Is that blood?

**Prince Charming**: It's berry.

**Emma Swan**: Like a fruit?

**Prince Charming**: No, like holly berry. They grow on bushes.

**Captain Hook**: Are you some sort of botanist in this life, mate?

**Prince Charming**: I worked in an animal shelter. Saw dogs track them all the time. The bushes grow in the woods.

**Emma Swan**: You know where?

**Prince Charming**: Yeah, in the north-west corner, not far from the Toll Bridge. (*Charming gets a text*)

**Emma Swan**: Everything okay?

**Prince Charming**: Mary Margaret needs me to come back to the loft. We're getting a midwife and she wants to meet the both of us.

**Captain Hook**: A bit demanding, isn't she? (*Emma throws him a dirty look*) I meant the midwife.

**Captain Hook**: (*about Walsh*) Were you considering it? His proposal?

**Emma Swan**: Does it matter?

**Captain Hook**: Humor me.

**Emma Swan**: Yes, okay? I was in love, so of course I was considering it. As usual, he wasn't who he said he was and I got my heart broken. Enough humor for you?

**Captain Hook**: Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm glad to hear that.

**Emma Swan**: You're glad to hear I had my heart broken?

**Captain Hook**: If it can be broken, it means it still works.

(*Prince Charming faces a doppelgänger summoned by Night Root*)

**Captain Hook**: Any particular reason she would send a demon who looks like you?

**Prince Charming**: No idea. It was just there, wearing my face, harping on my deepest fears.

**Regina Mills**: It knew your deepest fears?

**Prince Charming**: Yeah, things I never told anyone - even Mary Margaret. It wasn't until I'd admitted them that I was able to defeat it by stabbing it with the hilt of my sword.

**Regina Mills**: Where is it? Your sword?

**Prince Charming**: Well, that's the strange part. After I killed it, the hilt - it disappeared.

**Captain Hook**: What's that mean, then?

**Regina Mills**: When we face our deepest fears, our true courage comes out. When you used the hilt of your sword to vanquish your fears, your courage transferred into it.

**Prince Charming**: Then why'd it disappear?

**Regina Mills**: It didn't *disappear*. She took it.

**Emma Swan**: Hang on. The Wicked Witch stole his courage?

**Regina Mills**: Well, a symbol of it, at least. And symbols can be powerful totems.

### *Quiet Minds* (Season 3, Episode 15)

**Belle**: So Rumple is alive? I mean, how is that even possible?

**Emma Swan**: We were hoping *you* might be able to tell us that. You know him and the shop better than anyone. If he's in Storybrooke, there has to be a clue in here about how he got back, and how we can find him, now that he is.

**Belle**: Yeah, I'll start looking right away.

**Prince Charming**: Keep your eyes out for him, too. If he comes into town -

**Belle**: He'll come to me. Yeah, I know.

**Captain Hook**: I will stay here with you. I'm surprisingly good at research.

**Belle**: *You* will stay with me?

**Emma Swan**: He'll protect you, if the witch comes.

**Belle**: You *do* know he tried to kill me?

**Captain Hook**: Well, there were extenuating circumstances.

**Belle**: Twice.

**Captain Hook**: Sorry?

**Emma Swan**: You really know how to charm a girl, don't you?

**Captain Hook**: This will be my way of making it up to you.

**Belle**: Fine.

**Neal Cassidy**: What's it feel like to play the hero after being a pirate for so long?

**Captain Hook**: Unfamiliar. And you? How does it feel to play the villain?

**Neal Cassidy**: I'm a villain now?

**Captain Hook**: Well, if you truly had a hand in bringing your father back, I suspect you had to use the darkest of magic and paid an even darker price, though I'm sure you felt the end justified the means.

**Neal Cassidy**: I should be out there looking for him and set things right with him and my son. Question is, are you gonna stand in my way?

**Captain Hook**: I am in your way. (*hugs Neal*)

**Neal Cassidy**: What the hell are you doing?

**Captain Hook**: This is long overdue. Sometimes when I look at you, all I see is a man. I forget that beneath it all, you're still that boy, the one I looked after all those years ago.

**Neal Cassidy**: Yeah, I haven't forgotten.

**Captain Hook**: We got caught up in so much nonsense over a women.

**Neal Cassidy**: I need to do this, Killian. You know that, right?

**Captain Hook**: You've got ten minutes, then I alert the others you've gone.

**Neal Cassidy**: Thank you.

### *It's Not Easy Being Green* (Season 3, Episode 16)

**Henry Mills**: What's this?

**Captain Hook**: That, my boy, is a sextant. It's used by sailors to navigate.

**Henry Mills**: Like a GPS?

**Captain Hook**: Aye. It measures our position using the stars.

**Henry Mills**: Not sure if that's what a GPS does, but what does this have to do with my dad?

**Captain Hook**: I taught him to navigate with one. Just like I'm gonna teach you.

**Henry Mills**: Were you both in the Navy or something?

**Captain Hook**: No, Bae - Neal was just a boy when I taught him.

**Henry Mills**: Wait. Aren't you the same age? It seems like the more you guys tell me about my dad, the less things make sense. I don't wanna learn how to navigate. I just wanna hear something about him that doesn't make it sound like it's made up so I like this guy.

**Captain Hook**: Your mother isn't keeping things from you because she doesn't want you to know the truth.

**Henry Mills**: I know she's doing it to protect me. But how am I supposed to feel anything about him being gone if I don't know what he was like when he was here?

**Captain Hook**: Fair enough, mate. What I haven't told you is *why* I taught your father to sail. Because he'd just lost *his* father. I thought the sea would help ease his sorrow.

**Henry Mills**: Wait. He lost his dad too?

**Captain Hook**: Aye. To something dark and evil, when he wasn't much older than you.

**Henry Mills**: Really?

**Captain Hook**: Indeed. You see, you might not think you know much about your father, but you have more in common with him than you realize.

### *The Jolly Roger* (Season 3, Episode 17)

**Captain Hook**: What is it that's so urgent?

**Mr. Smee**: It's just that me and the men were talking about how we haven't seen much of you since we all ended up back here.

**Captain Hook**: Is there a point to that rather odd observation?

**Mr. Smee**: What's keeping us from crewing up again? Hitting the high seas, getting back to pirating?

**Captain Hook**: You mean other than being attacked and turned into flying monkeys? Have you forgotten? There's no safe passage out of this town! You've already been a rodent, Mr. Smee. Does life as a simian interest you as well?

**Mr. Smee**: Of course there's safe passage. We could outrun them.

**Captain Hook**: Not with that torso of yours!

**Mr. Smee**: If we had a fast enough ship - the *Jolly Roger* for instance. You still haven't told me whether you found her during the time none of us can remember.

**Captain Hook**: What happened during that time isn't important.

**Mr. Smee**: Because *you* remember. Is our ship okay? What happened to it?

**Captain Hook**: *My* ship. And all you need to know, Mr. Smee, is that the *Jolly Roger* isn't here. So there will be no outrunning of anything.

**Mr. Smee**: I mean, what if we found another ship? (*points to ships*) Any one of these!

**Captain Hook**: Mr. Smee, I've tried letting you down easy, now let me be more direct. I have no intention of leaving this town.

**Zelena**: When you invoked the name of your love in a selfish plea for redemption, I was able to curse you, more specifically your kiss. See, the next time your lips touch Emma Swan's, *all* of her magic will be taken! Everything that makes her special, that makes her powerful, that makes her a threat, will be gone.

**Captain Hook**: I won't do it. I'll tell her, and then she'll defeat you.

**Zelena**: Then I'll send the Dark One to kill her before you can.

**Captain Hook**: No you won't. If you could have killed her, you would have. You need her power removed. It's why you didn't kill her when she came to the town. It's why you had a monkey look after her in New York, instead of kill her. For some reason, you can't.

**Zelena**: It no longer matters, because you're going to remove her powers. I may not be able to hurt Emma, but I can hurt those around her. Her parents, her friends... her child!

**Captain Hook**: Do not go near them.

**Zelena**: Oh, yes. You've become quite found of the boy, haven't you? I will enjoy turning him into a monkey's breakfast.

**Captain Hook**: I'll stop you.

**Zelena**: No, you won't. That pointy hook of yours can scratch a mere mortal, but me? You're out of your depth, pirate. The choice is yours. Kiss Emma and remove her powers, or everyone she loves dies.

### *Bleeding Through* (Season 3, Episode 18)

**Belle**: (*about Zelena*) She's planning on going back; Back in time.

**Regina Mills**: Are you certain? No one's ever been able to cast a spell to go back in time.

**Belle**: Well, clearly she thinks she can succeed. I mean, brains, courage, a resilient heart - Those ingredients are in every Time Travel Spell I've found.

**Prince Charming**: Why go back in time? I mean, we have no idea what she's trying to accomplish.

**Snow White**: I do. (*about Cora*) She - she didn't -

**Prince Charming**: Don't push yourself.

**Snow White**: She didn't want to give up Zelena. She was forced to by - by my mother, Princess Eva. She told a secret, just like I did.

**Emma Swan**: Wait. I thought our family were the good guys?

**Regina Mills**: Life is too messy for it to ever be that simple.

**Prince Charming**: You're saying if it wasn't for Snow's mother, Cora would have kept Zelena?

**Belle**: *She* would have been tutored by Rumplestiltskin.

**Captain Hook**: All if it weren't for this Princess Eva?

**Snow White**: So that means Zelena's going back to kill my mother.

**Regina Mills**: You'll have never been born.

**Emma Swan**: I'm guessing this is where your help ends.

**Regina Mills**: Now, think it through, Miss Swan. That means *you'll* have never been born, and neither will Henry.

**Snow White**: And on this different path, Regina, you may not be, either.

**Captain Hook**: It's a good thing no one has ever succeeded with this time travel nonsense.

**Prince Charming**: The baby.

**Captain Hook**: What?

**Prince Charming**: That's what's missing. That's why none have succeeded! Somehow, some way, our baby is the key. Zelena went to a lot of effort to get close to our unborn child. *That's* what she's after.

**Snow White**: What is she going to do to with -

**Prince Charming**: It doesn't matter. She's not gonna get it. We're gonna stop her.

### *A Curious Thing* (Season 3, Episode 19)

(*Henry takes the storybook and his memories are restored*)

**Henry Mills**: (*to Emma*) Mom? (*to Regina*) Mom! I remember. (*to Emma*) I remember!

**Regina Mills**: Do it, Emma. Break the curse.

**Zelena**: (*enters*) So sorry to interrupt. (*grabs Henry*) Now, who wants to say goodbye first?

**Henry Mills**: Who are you?

**Zelena**: You can call me Auntie Zelena.

**Regina Mills**: Enough of this. (*steps forward but Zelena knocks her out with magic*)

**Emma Swan**: Let him go. He had nothing to do with this.

**Zelena**: Don't blame me. The captain failed me.

**Captain Hook**: Damn you, Zelena.

**Emma Swan**: Hook, what's she talking about?

**Zelena**: He knew what the price of that failure was: Your son's life. (*chokes Henry*)

**Henry Mills**: Mom! (*Emma uses magic to burn Zelena's hands and henry escapes her grasp*)

**Emma Swan**: Run!

**Zelena**: (*furious*) Enjoy this moment together, because you don't have many left!

## After Second Curse

### *Kansas* (Season 3, Episode 20)

**Emma Swan**: I never should have brought Henry back to Storybrooke.

**Captain Hook**: You did what you thought was right.

**Emma Swan**: I did what you manipulated me into.

**Captain Hook**: Your parents needed you, Swan. The town needed you.

**Emma Swan**: Henry *also* needed me. We were happy in New York. Once I'm done melting this witch, I'd like us to be happy again.

**Captain Hook**: You know as content as you were in that city, it wasn't real.

**Emma Swan**: It was real for me. For *him*. Everything that happened happened.

**Captain Hook**: Minus all the things you'd forgotten! Part of you is not the real you. And like it or not, the big part of you and Henry belongs in this town.

**Emma Swan**: Yeah, the part of us that's always in danger. We're leaving.

**Captain Hook**: What does the boy think?

**Emma Swan**: He's a kid. He wants chocolate milk in his cereal. I'm his mother. I know what's best for him.

**Captain Hook**: What's best for him? Or for *you*?

**Emma Swan**: Excuse me?

**Captain Hook**: You've taken care of the boy quite well here. You can talk about danger all you like, but it isn't that. So tell me, what is it? Why are you so scared of staying? I think it's because you can see a future here. A happy one.

**Emma Swan**: Let me guess: With you?

**Zelena**: (*enters*) Aww. You two are so adorable. But instead of looking for each other, maybe you should be focused on *me*. Although, without magic, that could prove to be a challenge.

**Emma Swan**: The next time you try to take my power, why don't you try enchanting the lips of someone I'll *actually* kiss?

**Captain Hook**: Never thought I'd see one of those.

**Emma Swan**: It's called a baby.

**Captain Hook**: No, Swan. A smile.

**Emma Swan**: We won.

**Captain Hook**: In all the chaos I never got a chance to say thank you.

**Emma Swan**: You really think I'd let you drown?

**Captain Hook**: Given our history can you blame me for being uncertain? Has your power returned, now that Zelena has been defeated?

**Emma Swan**: No.

**Captain Hook**: I'm sorry, love.

**Emma Swan**: It's okay. I won't need it in New York.

### *Snow Drifts* (Season 3, Episode 21)

(*Emma and Hook fall through the Time Portal*)

**Emma Swan**: We're trapped in the past. I should have left Storybrooke the instant we defeated Zelena. This is exactly the kind of thing that does not happen in New York.

**Captain Hook**: On the bright side, real estate's much more reasonable here.

**Emma Swan**: Don't.

**Captain Hook**: I understand your frustration, but we've been in dire straits before. There's no need to be antsy. We have our wits. We just have to focus on being constructive. So, any ideas how to go back?

**Emma Swan**: How would I know how to get back to the future? Who do I look like? Marty McFly?

**Captain Hook**: Marty Mc - who?

**Emma Swan**: The kid with the lightning and the DeLorean and they went back in time and then he -

**Captain Hook**: Is he some sort of wizard?

**Emma Swan**: No, Marty McFly is not a wizard. He's - Maybe a wizard is exactly what we need. We could find Rumplestiltskin!

**Captain Hook**: The Dark One and I have a rather complicated past. I'd wager he'd want to kill me on sight.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Oh, I'll take that bet! (*giggles*) I can't tell you how long I've been looking forward to this! Oops, I suppose I just did! (*telekinetically chokes Hook*)

**Captain Hook**: Swan!

**Emma Swan**: Stop!

**Rumplestiltskin**: I don't know who you are, dearie, but why don't you run off and let me enjoy my killing in peace.

**Emma Swan**: He's not gonna hurt you. You have to listen to me.

**Rumplestiltskin**: And why would I listen to you?

**Emma Swan**: Because if you don't you'll never see your son again.

**Rumplestiltskin**: (*releases Hook*) What do you know of my son?

**Emma Swan**: His name is Baelfire. You're planning to enact a curse in hopes of reuniting with him.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Who told you that? What are you? Some kind of witch?

**Emma Swan**: No, I'm not a witch. I'm the one who breaks the curse so that you can find him. I'm the product of True Love.

**Rumplestiltskin**: That's speculation. Part of my plans. But I haven't done it.

**Emma Swan**: You will, and you will succeed.

**Rumplestiltskin**: If that's true, then that means -

**Captain Hook**: We're from the future, mate.

**Rumplestiltskin**: But time travel hasn't been done, *mate*.

**Emma Swan**: Yeah, well, someone's cracked that code. We need your help.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Help? (*giggles*) You need my help? Then answer me one question: Do I find my son? Answer me!

**Emma Swan**: Yes.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Bae... I find Bae. How? Don't tell me! If I succeeded, I don't want anything in my head that might throw it off.

**Emma Swan**: It might already kind of be thrown off.

**Rumplestiltskin**: You've changed things! What have you done?

**Emma Swan**: We interrupted my parents meeting.

**Rumplestiltskin**: The ripple effect: Once you change something in the past, anything from that point forward becomes uncertain. The future, as you can see, is a blank page.

**Emma Swan**: We need to get Snow to steal that ring, so we can put their story back on track.

**Rumplestiltskin**: You're in luck. There's a ball tonight at King Midas' castle. Prince James will be there, and so will his ring.

**Emma Swan**: So we just need to get Snow there.

**Captain Hook**: How? We don't even know where she is.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Allow me. (*uses a crystal ball*)

**Emma Swan**: There she is.

**Captain Hook**: She's with Blackbeard. She's trying to secure passage on his ship.

**Rumplestiltskin**: And it appears failing.

**Emma Swan**: She can't escape the Queen without the money she's supposed to get for the ring. Can you help us?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Help you? I can work on getting your portal to the future open again, but getting your parents together? *You* made that mess, dearie. Only *you* know what you did. Now go undo it.

### *There's No Place Like Home* (Season 3, Episode 22)

**Prince Charming**: I'm marrying Midas' daughter. What's not to be excited about?

**Captain Hook as Prince Charles**: I don't mean to pry mate, but you don't exactly look like a man who's doing this by choice.

**Prince Charming**: I always thought I'd marry for love, and here I am about to enter into what amounts to a business transaction. A merger of two kingdoms. I don't know, this whole ordeal makes me wonder if there's even such a thing as True Love.

**Captain Hook as Prince Charles**: I once felt as you did, mate. All it took was meeting the right person and everything changed.

**Prince Charming**: Princess Leia? The one we're rescuing?

**Captain Hook as Prince Charles**: Aye. I'd to go to the end of the world for her. Or time.

**Prince Charming**: And she for you, I take it?

**Captain Hook as Prince Charles**: I don't know.

**Prince Charming**: What's the problem?

**Captain Hook as Prince Charles**: There are many complications.

**Prince Charming**: Family? Because my father is making things quite difficult for me.

**Captain Hook as Prince Charles**: Aye. There's that. I'm not so sure her parents approve of me.

**Prince Charming**: Given the length you've gone to save her, they'd be crazy not to.

**Captain Hook as Prince Charles**: Hope you remember that.

(*Emma and Hook want to bring Marian to the future with them*)

**Maid Marian**: The future?

**Emma Swan**: You can't stay here. You were supposed to die hours ago.

**Maid Marian**: I don't understand. I just want to get back to my family.

**Captain Hook**: They need to believe you're dead, because that's what they've always thought.

**Emma Swan**: Trust us.

**Maid Marian**: All due respect, I don't trust you. Or believe you. So unless you're kidnapping me I'm going to go find my family. (*Emma knocks her out with a branch*)

**Emma Swan**: Well then, I guess we're kidnapping you.

**Captain Hook**: I always knew there was a little pirate in you, Swan.

**Captain Hook**: (*about reactivating the Time Portal*) You're the savior, Swan. You can do it.

**Emma Swan**: Not anymore. I lost it.

**Captain Hook**: When Zelena died, all of her spells were undone. Your powers should have been restored.

**Emma Swan**: Believe me, if I could make it work, I would. You think I'm faking it?

**Captain Hook**: I think not having magic makes it a lot of easier for you to run back to New York and pretend to be somebody else. But listen to me, Swan. You're not. It's time to stop running.

**Emma Swan**: You think I don't know that? Yes, I run away. That's how I've always survived. But believe me, I want this to work. I wanna go back. I wanna stop running.

**Captain Hook**: What's changed your mind?

**Emma Swan**: Watching my mother die. Thinking she was dead. You saw what happened. I was so relieved when she was okay, and I hugged her. And you know what I saw in her eyes? *Nothing*. She didn't know who I was. I had saved her and lost her, too. And that's what I've been doing to her since I met her. It's got to stop. When Henry brought me to Storybrooke he told me I was the savior. I didn't see what he was really doing; He was not bringing me back to break a curse. He was bringing me home. Neal was right.

**Captain Hook**: About what?

**Emma Swan**: You don't have a home until you just miss it. Being with my parents the last few days, but not really being with them? I've never missed them more. Storybrooke - *That's* my home.

**Captain Hook**: You're a bloody hero, Swan.

**Emma Swan**: So are you. I wanted to thank you, Killian, for going back for me in the first place. In New York. If you hadn't -

**Captain Hook**: It was the right thing to do.

**Emma Swan**: How did you do it? How did you get to me?

**Captain Hook**: When the curse was coming, I ditched my crew and took the *Jolly Roger* as fast and as far as I possibly could to outrun it.

**Emma Swan**: You outran a curse?

**Captain Hook**: I'm a hell of a captain. Once I was outside the curses purview I knew that the walls were down. Transport between the realms was possible again. All I needed was a magic bean.

**Emma Swan**: Those are not easy to come by.

**Captain Hook**: They are if you've got something of value to trade.

**Emma Swan**: And what was that?

**Captain Hook**: Why, the *Jolly Roger*, of course.

**Emma Swan**: (*stunned*) You traded your ship for me?

**Captain Hook**: Aye.

(*they passionately kiss*)

### *White Out* (Season 4, Episode 2)

**Prince Charming**: I think it's time you and I have a little talk about your intentions with my daughter.

**Captain Hook**: That's a little old-fashioned, even by my standards - and I still pay with doubloons.

**Prince Charming**: Remember, I know your reputation. Emma is not some conquest.

**Captain Hook**: I wouldn't risk my life for someone I see as loot. Whatever we become, it's up to her as much as me.

### *Rocky Road* (Season 4, Episode 3)

**Captain Hook**: I know that that dagger you gave Belle was a fake.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Is that right?

**Captain Hook**: I've hunted you a long time, my old crocodile, and I know you better than most. And I know that you would never let anyone have power over you. Not even Belle.

**Rumplestiltskin**: And you expect her to believe you without a shred of proof?

**Captain Hook**: Well, I could ask her to summon you with the dagger. And then, when it doesn't work... Proof.

**Rumplestiltskin**: That's a very dangerous insinuation.

**Captain Hook**: So we have a deal?

**Rumplestiltskin**: I do hope Miss Swan's worth it.

**Captain Hook**: (*to Elsa*) Good news! He's agreed to help.

**Queen Elsa**: This hair is from Marian. Someone cast a freezing curse on her. We need to know who it is.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Well, you're in luck. Magic can change forms, but never be destroyed. We'll simply return it to its natural state.

**Queen Elsa**: Snowflakes.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Magic similar to yours, dearie, though not quite the same. Much like a snowflake, each person's magic is unique.

**Emma Swan**: That's what you think this is about? That I don't trust you?

**Captain Hook**: Is that not what it's about?

**Emma Swan**: Of course I trust you!

**Captain Hook**: Then why do you keep pulling away from me?

**Emma Swan**: Because everyone I've ever been with is *dead*! Neal and Graham. Even Walsh. I lost everyone. I... I can't lose you, too.

**Captain Hook**: Well, love, you don't have to worry about me. If there's one thing I'm good at, it's surviving.

### *The Apprentice* (Season 4, Episode 4)

**Captain Hook**: (*about his hand*) You kept it all of these years?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Only to remind myself I should have finished the job when I had the chance.

**Captain Hook**: Can you reattach it?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Indeed. But the question is, why?

**Captain Hook**: I've got a date with Emma. Should things go well and she wants me to hold her, I want to use both hands.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Oh, I see blackmail brings out the romantic in you. But this hand may bring out the worst.

**Captain Hook**: What the devil does that mean?

**Rumplestiltskin**: This hand belonged to the man you used to be... cunning, selfish pirate. If I reunite this with your body, there's no telling what influence it could have on you.

**Captain Hook**: Sorry, Dark One. I'm not gonna fall for your tricks today. Nothing can change me back. Now give me my hand, or Belle finds out exactly who she's married to, because unlike me, you haven't changed one bit, Crocodile.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Very well. (*reattaches Hook's hand*) Don't say I didn't warn you.

(*Emma and Hook are on a date at Tony's*)

**Will Scarlet**: (*accidentally knocks waiter*) Oh! Oh, my God. Are you all right, mate?

**Emma Swan**: (*wine spills over her*) Really?

**Will Scarlet**: (*to waiter, helping*) There you go. Take your glass there, mate.

**Captain Hook**: (*grabs Will aggressively*) Apologize to the lady, mate.

**Emma Swan**: Killian, look, it's okay. (*Hook releases Will*) You. You're the thief that took off from the ice cream shop. (*Will flees*) Nope. Not gonna do it. We are on a date. And I am not gonna let some petty fairy tale thief ruin it. And there's an ice wall around the town... He can't get away. I'll find him, but he is not gonna ruin this night. Killian? Hey. Look, it's okay. It was just a glass of wine.

**Captain Hook**: Sorry, love. I don't know what got into me.

**Captain Hook**: I don't want this infernal hand anymore. It's taken possession of me.

**Rumplestiltskin**: You should have heeded my warning when I offered it.

**Captain Hook**: I can't control it. Remove the damned thing before it makes me do something you'll regret.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Was that a threat?

**Captain Hook**: Aye, mate. Take it back, or Belle learns that the dagger she has is as fake as your new disposition.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Oh, is it? Is it what? Fake?

**Captain Hook**: Well, you wouldn't have given me the hand if it weren't.

**Rumplestiltskin**: After you extracted that price, I switched the real dagger back.

**Captain Hook**: No, you're lying.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Am I? Seems you've lost that leverage you once had. So if you want to part ways with that hand and get this back, there's only one way I'll help.

**Captain Hook**: Damn. What do you want?

**Rumplestiltskin**: All in due time.

**Captain Hook**: And you think I'm daft enough to agree to that without knowing the terms? I'll find another way to rid myself of this damned hand.

**Rumplestiltskin**: I'm afraid that's easier said than done. You see, my magic put that hand on, and only my magic can take it off. (*Hook stabs Rumplestiltskin in the chest with his hook*) You'd think you'd have learned the first time you buried that hook in me, it never sticks.

**Captain Hook**: That wasn't me.

**Rumplestiltskin**: You're losing control, dearie. Next time, you might do something to someone who can't be so easily fixed.

**Captain Hook**: You have a deal. I'll do whatever it takes.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Oh, I do love it when they say that.

### *Family Business* (Season 4, Episode 6)

(*investigating the Snow Queen's ice cream truck*)

**Captain Hook**: It appears she beat us to it. She's cleared out the vessel.

**Regina Mills**: What now? Should we question the cows she gets her milk from? Maybe search the waffle cone factory?

**Emma Swan**: Hang on. Look. Who locks their freezer? Was she afraid someone was gonna steal the rocky road?

**Captain Hook**: Stand back. (*opens the lock with his hook*)

(*they find the "7 Year Old Boy Finds Baby on Side of Road" newspaper article*)

**Emma Swan**: Looks like the Dairy Queen's been following me for a long time.

**Regina Mills**: Since before foster care?

**Emma Swan**: Since I landed in this world.

(*Emma and Hook read the Snow Queen's files*)

**Emma Swan**: According to this, she was my foster parent for six months.

**Captain Hook**: Aye?

**Emma Swan**: That's the longest I was ever in one spot, but I don't remember a second of it.

**Captain Hook**: You alright, Swan?

**Emma Swan**: I'm fine. It was all a long time ago.

**Captain Hook**: Mm, perhaps, but wounds that are made when we're young tend to linger.

**Emma Swan**: How would you know?

**Captain Hook**: Believe it or not, I was once a child.

**Emma Swan**: Yeah, like a million years ago.

**Captain Hook**: It was more like two hundred. What is it?

**Emma Swan**: It's a painting I did when I was in school.

**Captain Hook**: That so surprising?

**Emma Swan**: It's not the only one. This crazy woman has a whole file of my old art projects and essays. Just like the one I have for Henry. You don't keep stuff like this unless you care about someone.

**Captain Hook**: Well, perhaps the Snow Queen wasn't simply using you. Perhaps she'd grown fond of you over time.

**Emma Swan**: Looks like the feeling was mutual. "Thanks for being the family I never had. Love, Emma." I wrote that to her.

**Captain Hook**: Looks like you two were close once.

**Emma Swan**: But she still erased my memories. Something must have happened to change all that.

**Emma Swan**: The Snow Queen is your aunt?

**Queen Elsa**: According to this heraldry book I found in the library. Her name is Ingrid. I didn't even know my mother had any sisters. I'm as surprised as you are.

**Captain Hook**: Well, spend a little more time in this town, love, you'll realize just about everyone's related.

**Queen Elsa**: This book traces the lineage in Arendelle for generations. That's Gerda, my mother, and this is Helga, my other aunt.

**Captain Hook**: Bloody hell. (*to Emma*) Look at this one, she looks just like you. (*about the Snow Queen*) Maybe that's why she was so obsessed with you, why she kept all those relics from your childhood.

**Emma Swan**: She came to this world looking for blondes? There's a lot more than just me.

Hook: Don't I know it.

**Queen Elsa**: She wasn't looking for a blonde. She was looking for the savior.

**Emma Swan**: What?

**Queen Elsa**: This scroll... The writing is runic. It's a prophecy. It says, "the name of the savior is Emma."

**Emma Swan**: She knew?

**Queen Elsa**: Before you even did. She knew you were powerful.

**Emma Swan**: But why?

**Queen Elsa**: It says it right here... "And the savior shall become Ingrid's sister."

**Emma Swan** What the hell does that mean?

**Queen Elsa**: Well, my mother died, and her other sister... She's not around anymore. I think Ingrid believes in this prophecy. I think she's looking to replace them.

### *The Snow Queen* (Season 4, Episode 7)

(*Emma begins losing control of her magic and runs away*)

**Snow White**: Did you find her?

**Prince Charming**: No. We looked everywhere, which means only one thing.

**Captain Hook**: She doesn't want to be found.

**Queen Elsa**: I've been through this. And I saw the same looks on my loved ones' faces as Emma just did. I saw fear.

**Snow White**: David, we failed today. When our daughter needed us most, she looked in our eyes, and all she saw was fear. This Snow Queen has some mirror that turns us against each other? Well, she doesn't need it. Look at us. We are doing it to ourselves.

### *Smash the Mirror* (Season 4, Episode 8)

**Henry Mills**: I snuck out, okay? (*about Emma*) I'm sorry, but I found her.

**Snow White**: How is she?

**Prince Charming**: Is she okay? Is she hurt?

**Henry Mills**: She's out in the woods. I thought I could help calm her down, but when I showed up, it just made things worse.

**Snow White**: Come with me. I'll clean you up in the bathroom.

**Prince Charming**: This is bad news. If anyone can calm her down, it's Henry.

**Queen Elsa**: When your powers are out of control, everything's upside down. You don't want to be anywhere near the people you care about.

**Captain Hook**: Wonderful. Well, shall we send Sneezy after her, then? Or Happy? Which is the dwarf she despises?

**Queen Elsa**: I was so scared that I would hurt Anna until I finally realized you can't run away from the people who love you, because in the end they're the only ones who can help you.

**Captain Hook**: (*about Emma erasing her magic*) Well, I'm guessing she didn't go through with it. (*sarcastic*) So sorry. Oh, but I do love the look of loss on your face!

**Rumplestiltskin**: I may not have the savior, pirate, but I assure you, today won't be a complete loss. I need to fill that hat with power, yes, but that was only *part* of the equation, because I need something else, a secret ingredient, one I didn't know about until an associate clued me in. A heart.

**Captain Hook**: Well, if you need my help procuring it, know the only help I'll give you is with your demise.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Oh, you're gonna help me, alright. You see, this spell is gonna finally separate me from the dagger so it no longer holds power over me. But to cast it, I need the heart of someone special, someone who knew me before the dagger... before I was the Dark One. Unfortunately, everyone who fits that description is already dead, but one still lives.

**Captain Hook**: No. No!

**Rumplestiltskin**: *Yes*. As luck would have it, dearie, you're my oldest friend! (*rips Hook's heart out*)

**Captain Hook**: Get on with it, then. Just do it!

**Rumplestiltskin**: Oh, no. I promised you we'd have some fun first. You're gonna do everything I say because you're my puppet now. You're gonna find another way to fill that hat with the power it needs. And then? *Then* I'll kill you.

### *Fall* (Season 4, Episode 9)

**Rumplestiltskin**: Granny's Diner is being converted into a temporary hive for the vilest of creatures - the pious little fleas.

**Captain Hook**: Pious? The fairies?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Just like any flying pests, if you want to eliminate the infestation, it's important to get them all. Doing so will infuse this hat with enough power to allow me to cleave myself from the dagger and then leave this town with my powers intact, a suddenly urgent undertaking. Now, will you assist me?

**Captain Hook**: You have my heart. You know I can't refuse.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Indeed, but here's the rub, dearie. My wife has just called to inform me that she intends to spend the day sequestered amongst said fleas, so I need you to stand by while I get her out of the way.

**Captain Hook**: The fairies are working to stop the spell. You're killing the cure? You do this, you condemn the entire town, and even your own grandson, to whatever happens.

**Rumplestiltskin**: No, I'm not leaving Henry. I will take him and I will take Belle and I will leave this town to its fate.

**Captain Hook**: But Emma and everyone else -

**Rumplestiltskin**: I don't have time for everyone else. And if I have to choose between everyone else and me, "me" wins every time.

### *Shattered Sight* (Season 4, Episode 10)

**Rumplestiltskin**: Once I finish packing, I'm gonna take Belle to the town line. I need you to find Henry and do the same thing.

**Captain Hook**: So you still think you're leaving?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Oh, ye of little faith. Tomorrow night, when the stars in the sky align with the stars in the hat, I shall finally cleave myself from this dagger and be on the other side of that ice wall before dawn.

**Captain Hook**: Are you saying there's a bloody way out of here?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Dark One always finds a way.

**Captain Hook**: Well, if the Dark One is so powerful, why doesn't he magic his grandson to his side?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Because that would require me knowing where his mothers have locked him away for safekeeping. Now unless you really, really have no need for that tongue, I suggest you slither back outside into the hostile current and find Henry. You'll be needing this. (*gives Hook a potion*)

**Captain Hook**: You won't win. Villains never do.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Don't be ridiculous, dearie. When Belle and Henry wake up tomorrow morning in New York City, they won't remember a thing about tonight. I'll tell then the Snow Queen destroyed Storybrooke, whilst I saved everyone I could. I won't be a villain. I'll be a hero.

**Captain Hook**: Henry. I know you're in there, mate. I need you to come with me now.

**Henry Mills**: (*under the Spell of Shattered Sight*) There's no way I'm going anywhere with a dirty pirate.

**Captain Hook**: Dirty? I bathe quite frequently, thank you very much.

**Henry Mills**: I never liked you, and I like you even less now that you and my mom are together.

**Captain Hook**: Emma used that word? "Together"?

**Henry Mills**: Go!

**Captain Hook**: Henry got away.

**Rumplestiltskin**: So you failed... at kidnapping a child.

**Captain Hook**: Well, perhaps you could say my heart wasn't in it.

**Rumplestiltskin**: The Snow Queen's plan also failed. But mine won't. Enjoy this snowfall, dearie. It'll be your last.

**Captain Hook**: Then grant me one dying wish.

**Rumplestiltskin**: I'm not in the business of making deals with you anymore.

**Captain Hook**: Leave Emma and the rest of Storybrooke be. There's no need to harm them.

**Rumplestiltskin**: When I step over that town line with my magic intact, Emma and Storybrooke have nothing to fear from me, as long as they don't get in my way... But I can't make that same promise for the rest of the world.

### *Darkness on the Edge of Town* (Season 4, Episode 12)

**Belle**: You know, Rumplestiltskin got the best of us. And you're right, you should've been stronger, but you weren't... And, well, neither was I. You know, I should've seen through him.

**Captain Hook**: You were blinded by love. What was my excuse?

**Belle**: Probably the same, just for someone else.

**Captain Hook**: Well, he's right about one thing... Love is a weapon, as dangerous and persuasive as magic.

**Belle**: Yeah. Yeah, he had both of our hearts.

### *Poor Unfortunate Soul* (Season 4, Episode 15)

(*an undercover Regina helps Rumplestiltskin, Maleficent, Ursula and Cruella kidnap Pinocchio*)

**Regina Mills as Snow White**: I have to make this quick, we don't have much time.

**Prince Charming**: Regina?

**Regina Mills as Snow White**: Pinocchio's fine. He's back to his old self, or *older* self.

**Emma Swan**: August.

**Regina Mills as Snow White**: But there's something else you need to know. Gold is here. We're holed up in his cabin, and he's in town for more than just the Author, but he won't tell me why. Which means whatever it is he's planning, it's bad.

**Captain Hook**: So the Dark One's returned.

**Captain Hook**: I want to offer you a deal.

**Ursula**: After what you did to me? I don't think so.

**Captain Hook**: Gold was wrong. You don't have to find the Author to get what you want.

**Ursula**: And why should I believe a word you say?

**Captain Hook**: (*about her singing voice*) Because I know what it is you desire... and I know exactly where to get it.

**Ursula**: You still have it?

**Captain Hook**: The Dark One... he's here for more than just the Author. If I return your happy ending, you're gonna tell me exactly what he's doing in Storybrooke.

**Ursula**: You got yourself a deal.

**Emma Swan**: Hook, what's wrong? You gave Ursula everything she wanted.

**Captain Hook**: But I almost didn't, love. I was so desperate to figure out what the Crocodile was up to, I almost became the man I used to be. You have no idea how easy it is to fall back into the darkness.

**Emma Swan**: Whatever mistakes you made with Ursula, you fixed.

**Captain Hook**: Aye. But it's a stark reminder of something.

**Emma Swan**: What?

**Captain Hook**: With all this talk of authors and the book, we've never discussed one fact... I was a villain.

**Emma Swan**: But you're not anymore.

**Captain Hook**: Neither is Regina, but she still lost her happy ending. If we're to believe the rules of the book, then it's only a matter of time before I lose mine.

**Emma Swan**: Wait. If you're afraid of losing your happy ending, that means you found it. What is it?

**Captain Hook**: Don't you know, Emma? It's *you*.

**Captain Hook**: I suppose this is farewell.

**Ursula**: It is, but first I have to hold up my end of the deal. Gold's plan... I'm afraid it involves Emma. She's the only way he can secure happy endings for the villains.

**Captain Hook**: Well, I thought he was gonna get the Author to rewrite everyone's stories?

**Ursula**: It's not that simple. The Author can't just change things in this world, because he didn't give everyone their happy endings here.

**Captain Hook**: Emma did.

**Ursula**: She's the savior, and as long as there's a savior, the Author can't give the villains what they really want, and the Dark One knows this.

**Captain Hook**: The Dark One's gonna try to kill Emma?

**Ursula**: Worse. He plans to fill her heart with darkness forever.

### *Best Laid Plans* (Season 4, Episode 16)

**Emma Swan**: Killian, what's wrong?

**Captain Hook**: Before Ursula left, she told me what the villains have planned. To get their happy endings, they intend to darken your heart, love, to turn you into a villain so you'll no longer be the savior.

**Henry Mills**: What? You can't just un-savior the savior.

**Captain Hook**: Ursula said Gold has a way. He can use the Author to do it.

**Emma Swan**: That's insane! If that's what their plan is, stop worrying; it's ridiculous. Author or no author, I am not going dark.

**Captain Hook**: But darkness is a funny thing. It creeps up on you.

**Emma Swan**: Hey. No one - not Rumplestiltskin or some author - gets to decide who I am.

### *Sympathy for the De Vil* (Season 4, Episode 18)

**Regina Mills**: You're acting like a petulant child. Your parents did a bad thing, they apologized, now get over it!

**Emma Swan**: Forgive me if I don't take advice from the woman who held a grudge for half her life because a 10-year-old spilled a secret.

**Captain Hook**: Swan, if you won't listen to Regina, perhaps you'll listen to me. You were able to forgive both of us all because you found it in your heart to see past it.

**Emma Swan**: The difference is that you never held yourself as some paragon of virtue. Neither of you did. You were honest about who you were. My parents weren't. They said they were heroes.

**Captain Hook**: Even heroes make mistakes, love.

**Regina Mills**: You know, not long ago your mother gave me some advice. She said I needed to believe I could still earn forgiveness, that I had a chance at grace. I didn't realize it then, but... She was talking about herself. Emma, she's been trying to make up for what she did for a long time.

### *Operation Mongoose Part 2* (Season 4, Episode 22)

(*The Darkness is untethered from Rumplestiltskin, who falls into a coma*)

**Captain Hook**: The Dark One. It's no longer tethered to the Crocodile.

**Regina Mills**: What? Where the hell is it?

**Emma Swan**: It hasn't gone anywhere. The darkness, it's surrounding us.

(*Darkness attacks Regina*)

**Robin Hood**: Regina! (*to Emma*) What's it doing?!

**Emma Swan**: What darkness does... Snuffing out the light!

**Robin Hood**: I'm not gonna let it. (*charges at darkness but it throws him back*)

**Emma Swan**: That's not gonna work on this thing! The Apprentice told me we have to do what the Sorcerer did! We have to tether it to a person to contain it! (*approaches darkness*)

**Snow White**: Emma!

**Regina Mills**: No! There has to be another way!

**Emma Swan**: There isn't. You've worked too hard to have your happiness destroyed!

**Prince Charming**: No!

**Emma Swan**: (*to Snow and Charming*) You figured out how to take the darkness out of me once. I need you to do it again, as heroes.

**Captain Hook**: Emma, Emma please! No. Don't do this.

**Emma Swan**: I love you.

(*Emma tethers the darkness to herself and becomes the Dark One*)

## Before Third Curse

### *The Dark Swan* (Season 5, Episode 1)

**Sorcerer's Apprentice**: (*about Apprentice's Wand*) It is a gift from the sorcerer - from Merlin - from the day I became his apprentice. In it is all the light magic.

**Snow White**: It can take us to our daughter?

**Sorcerer's Apprentice**: Not on its own. In order to cross realms, it must be wielded as it was forged, with both sides of the coin. Light *and* the dark. (*Apprentice dies*)

**Regina Mills**: I guess that's my cue. (*waves wand*)

**Captain Hook**: Enough! You're going to embarrass yourself and waste our time.

**Regina Mills**: Watch it! I know what I'm doing.

**Captain Hook**: Well that's not enough. You heard the man, it needs darkness. You've gone soft.

**Regina Mills**: You wanna see soft? Why don't I use that hook to show you your intestines?

**Captain Hook**: Oh, you've got the fire love, but not the blackness, not anymore. How's this for irony? You've done too much good! No, we need someone wicked.

**Regina Mills**: No, no... No, not my sister. That witch is more than wicked, she's deranged!

**Captain Hook**: For Emma, it's worth the risk. She sacrificed herself for you, Your Majesty, because she believed that an evil queen could be good. Don't you think you owe it to her to repay the favor?

**Captain Hook**: Are you going to help us find Emma or not?

**Zelena**: Of course.

**Regina Mills**: What?

**Zelena**: (*lying*) Pregnancy's changed me, dear. I'm going to do whatever I can to free Emma of the darkness. Just let me see that wand. Don't worry, this little love bracelet you put on me neutralizes my magic. I am powerless. (*Regina hands her the Apprentice's Wand*) Oh yes, so simple. You simply need an object that guides the portal to its destination. Something that belonged to Emma. Something meaningful to her.

**Regina Mills**: Fine. That we can do.

**Zelena**: No, you can't. Your magic isn't powerful enough.

**Captain Hook**: Can you make it work?

**Zelena**: I believe so. There's just a *tiny* something standing in my way. (*shows Enchanted Cuff*)

**Regina Mills**: *Never*.

**Regina Mills**: (*about Zelena*) You let her *out*?

**Captain Hook**: Technically, I let her escape.

**Regina Mills**: Moron!

**Captain Hook**: Watch it, Your Majesty. At least I'm doing *something* to save Emma.

**Regina Mills**: What's that supposed to mean?

**Captain Hook**: Well, maybe you like being with Henry alone? Maybe you like not having Emma around?

**Regina Mills**: Maybe you having a hook? Maybe you'd like another?

**Snow White**: *Enough*! Zelena's out, *that* is what matters, but not as much as Emma. Emma kept us united, and that is *exactly* how we are going to remain. Come hell or high water, we are going to put our nonsense aside, and *find* my daughter.

**Regina Mills**: (*about Apprentice's Wand*) What the hell do you want with this?

**Zelena**: I am *tired* of losing to you! You continue to get *everything*! But now? (*about unborn child*) Now I have someone to love me and *only* me. See, this is my future, and I am not letting *anyone* take it from me or turn it against me, so I am going as far away from you and Robin as possible; Over the rainbow, where you can't follow.

**Regina Mills**: Back to Oz?

**Zelena**: I may have been feared and despised there, but at least I was free, at least I was in control. So if you want your forest-smelling boyfriend to live through the day, you will give me that wand.

**Captain Hook**: Don't even think about it.

**Snow White**: You can't, Regina, please.

**Regina Mills**: I have to. (*gives Zelena the wand*)

**Zelena**: Lovely. Now, all it needs is a little direction. A trinket from home. Now see me do what you weren't powerful enough to do yourself.

(*the spell backfires and Zelena is weakened; Regina takes back the wand*)

**Zelena**: No!

**Captain Hook**: What the hell happened?

**Regina Mills**: What happened is I'm not stupid. (*to Zelena*) I knew you could open that portal, but I also knew it would weaken you. See, there's one thing our family does well, sis, and that's exploit pain. Now we're gonna take your portal, but we're not taking it to Oz. We're taking it to Emma.

(*Emma prepares to crush Merida's heart*)

**Captain Hook**: Swan! Don't!

**Emma Swan**: What? How?

**Captain Hook**: It doesn't matter how. Has anything ever stopped us before?

**Emma Swan**: You don't know what's happening. This is the only way to find Merlin. He's the only one who can stop the darkness.

**Darkness as Rumplestiltskin**: Quite right. Crush it.

**Emma Swan**: The only way to protect all of you.

**Regina Mills**: But to stop the darkness, you're going to let it consume you.

**Emma Swan**: You don't know that.

**Snow White**: We're not going to take the chance. (*holds up Dark One Dagger*)

**Captain Hook**: No, wait. You can't do that. This has to be her choice.

**Darkness as Rumplestiltskin**: Don't listen to them. They don't understand what's at stake.

**Emma Swan**: You don't understand what's at stake. If I don't find Merlin, the darkness will destroy all of you.

**Captain Hook**: Emma, please. No.

**Emma Swan**: The Dark One destroys everyone near it. Look at Gold. I can't do that to my family, and to you.

**Darkness as Rumplestiltskin**: She has to die.

**Emma Swan**: She has to die.

**Captain Hook**: Listen to your words. It's not you speaking, Emma. We can find another way together. Look at us. Heroes and villains together for you, *because* of you. And if we can overcome it, if we can overcome our demons, then so can you.

*(Emma returns Merida's heart*)

**King Arthur**: I'm King Arthur of Camelot. We've come to find you.

**Captain Hook**: Find us?

**Sir Percival**: My Lord, they think their arrival is a surprise.

**Snow White**: You were expecting us?

**King Arthur**: It was Merlin. He prophesied your coming here a long time ago, just as he prophesied many things.

**Emma Swan**: Merlin? Where is he? We were told that he's been missing.

**King Arthur**: For years, yes. But not for much longer, because according to his prophecy, you're destined to reunite him with us. Now then, if you'll all follow me.

**Emma Swan**: Where?

**King Arthur**: Why, Camelot, of course.

### *The Price* (Season 5, Episode 2)

**Captain Hook**: So the most powerful sorcerer in all the realms is stuck inside a bloody tree?

**King Arthur**: I said the same exact thing the first time I stood there.

**Emma Swan**: And you think we can get him out?

**King Arthur**: Oh, we don't think. We know. Merlin's prophecies are never wrong.

**Sir Percival**: Why are you so eager to free him?

**Prince Charming**: Our home is being threatened by... It's called the Dark One.

**King Arthur**: The Dark One. Yes, we're well aware of that demon. That is bad. Well, I pray Merlin can help, but first, we must free him from his prison. It is said one of you is the savior. So which of you is it?

**Emma Swan**: I -

**Regina Mills**: I am the savior. I'm the one who's going to free Merlin from that tree, and then we can take care of the Dark One, and all go home.

### *The Broken Kingdom* (Season 5, Episode 4)

**Violet Morgan**: Henry? What are you doing here?

**Henry Mills**: I was wondering if you'd be interested in taking me riding.

**Violet Morgan**: Yeah, I'd love to. Come on. I'll introduce you to Nicodemus.

**Henry Mills**: That your dad?

**Violet Morgan**: (*laughs*) No, it's my horse. I hope you're ready to get your heart racing. Come on! (*they exit*)

**Captain Hook**: Well, you can hide buried treasure or a winning poker hand, but you can't hide the bloom of first love.

**Emma Swan**: Yes, he has a crush... And he straight-up lied to my face... And I'm the Dark One.

**Captain Hook**: You're his mother.

**Emma Swan**: Which is scarier?

### *Birth* (Season 5, Episode 8)

**Emma Swan**: I *do* know why I'm scared to let go of the darkness. (*about Regina*) Because of her, I finally admitted it to myself.

**Captain Hook**: What are you so afraid of, love?

**Emma Swan**: (*shows newspaper clipping of a house*) This. Our future.

**Captain Hook**: I see you talked to Henry. Sometimes I forget that boys can't keep secrets.

**Emma Swan**: Don't blame him. He just thought it would help if I knew what I had to look forward to when we got home.

**Captain Hook**: What are you trying to tell me? That you can't ignite the Promethean Flame because you're afraid to take the plunge and move in with me?

**Emma Swan**: It's not about moving in. It's... everything. When I told you I loved you back in Storybrooke, it was because I thought I was never going to see you again. It was the same way with Neal. I could only admit my true feelings when I thought I was losing him... and you.

**Captain Hook**: Well, I guess it's even worse than I thought. You can't even see any future at all with me.

**Emma Swan**: That's not it. Don't you get it? I'm afraid because I *do* want a future with you.

**Captain Hook**: You do?

**Emma Swan**: Yes. And the minute you take away the darkness, that future begins. I know it sounds crazy.

**Captain Hook**: Doesn't sound crazy at all, Emma. That sounds like music to this pirate's ears. You just have to trust me. The future's nothing to be afraid of.

(*Emma wants to save a dying Hook by turning him into a Dark One*)

**Captain Hook**: I don't want to pay this price. I don't want to become that.

**Emma Swan**: You won't. You can fight the darkness. I can help you. We can do it together!

**Captain Hook**: I'm not as strong as you are, or Merlin. I'm weak. The things I've done... I've succumbed to darkness before in my life, and it took centuries to push it away. I don't know if I can do it again.

**Emma Swan**: But our future...

**Captain Hook**: I'll just be happy knowing that you have one. (*dies*)

**Emma Swan**: (*crying*) That's not enough for me!

(*tethers Hook's life to Excalibur, becoming the Dark Swan and turning Hook into a Dark One*)

### *Broken Heart* (Season 5, Episode 10)

(*Hook becomes a Dark One*)

**Dark Hook**: Do you have Excalibur?

**Dark Swan**: Yes.

**Dark Hook**: Did you use it on me?

**Dark Swan**: What? No, of course not. I was never...

**Dark Hook**: Then why not tell me the truth? Are you afraid I was gonna ask you for it? You never planned on giving it to me, did you?

**Dark Swan**: I did it to protect you. You told me yourself you were not strong enough to resist the darkness.

**Dark Hook**: Which is why I begged you not to turn me into the bloody Dark One in the first place! But you went and did it anyway.

**Dark Swan**: You were dying!

**Dark Hook**: You know the worst part, Swan? When your own mother wanted to use the dagger to stop you from crushing Merida's heart, I'm the one that convinced her that you needed to make that decision yourself. There's never been a moment where I didn't believe in you, where I didn't trust you. But you clearly don't believe in me anymore, so how am I supposed to fight this?

**Dark Swan**: Killian...

**Dark Hook**: Don't.

**Dark Swan**: Dark One, I summon thee. (*Hook appears*) I'm sorry, I didn't know how else to get you here.

**Dark Hook**: You could have given me a choice.

**Dark Swan**: We need to talk about this.

**Dark Hook**: Do you have any idea how it feels to not be in control of yourself? The last time a Dark One controlled me, I had to watch as Rumplestiltskin almost killed you! I had to kneel, powerless, while he almost crushed my heart!

**Dark Swan**: I know exactly how it feels! All my life, everyone I loved abandoned me!

**Dark Hook**: I didn't abandon you.

**Dark Swan**: I know, but I was about to lose you to the darkness. When I'm scared, that's when my walls go up. That's when I stop trusting the people around me. You know this.

**Merlin**: What do you want?

**Dark Hook**: My revenge. And for that, I need to get back to Storybrooke.

**Merlin**: Do you want to cast a curse? It's not possible. Not without crushing the heart of the thing you love most.

**Darkness as Rumplestiltskin**: Which is why I am not going to crush it. But someone else will! Someone who might actually have feelings for you, dearie. And that's not me -

**Darkness as Nimue**: But it *is* me.

**Merlin**: Nimue.

**Darkness as Nimue**: Remember? I am all Dark Ones. It's romantic, isn't it? After all that's happened between us, you're still the thing I love most. And I *do* love you. I always have.

**Merlin**: But you're not really here.

**Dark Hook**: Aye, mate, but she *is*. She lives in all Dark Ones. So when *I* crush your heart, so will she!

(*Hook kills Merlin and enacts the Dark Curse*)

**Dark Hook**: It's over, Emma.

**Dark Swan**: I told you I would never abandon you. I'm not going to start now.

**Dark Hook**: I'm sorry, love - Once a curse has been enacted, you can't stop it.

**Dark Swan**: Yes, I might not be able to stop it, but I can make you forget why you cast it... And that you were ever the Dark One in the first place.

(*Emma uses a dreamcatcher to erase Hook's memories*)

**Darkness as Rumplestiltskin**: Clever, dearie.

**Dark Swan**: When you wake up, you'll be the man you were. The man I love. The man who loves me.

**Darkness as Rumplestiltskin**: Ah, you'll have to do more than that if you want him to forget he was ever a Dark One.

**Dark Swan**: I know. I need to erase the memories of everyone who knew that I turned Hook into a Dark One.

(*erases everyone's memories as the Dark Curse engulfs*)

## After Third Curse

### *The Dark Swan* (Season 5, Episode 1)

(*everyone wakes up in Granny's Diner with none of their Camelot memories*)

**Captain Hook**: Where's Emma?

**Dark Swan**: Relax. I'm right here.

**Henry Mills**: Mom? What happened to you?

**Dark Swan**: Isn't it obvious? You went to Camelot to get the darkness out of me, and you failed. (*Sneezy sneezes*) What the hell are you supposed to be? (*turns Sneezy to stone*) There's no savior in this town anymore.

**Regina Mills**: Emma, stop. That's enough.

**Dark Swan**: Or what?

**Regina Mills**: Or I'll do exactly what you asked me to.

**Dark Swan**: Looking for this? (*holds Dark One Dagger*) Nobody's gonna touch this dagger but me. Now, for what you all did to me, you're about to be punished.

**Captain Hook**: Emma, why are you doing this?

**Dark Swan**: Because... I am the Dark One.

### *The Price* (Season 5, Episode 2)

**Captain Hook**: True Love's Kiss. I need to know why it didn't work for you and the bloody Crocodile.

**Belle**: It did work, the first time. It awoke the man behind the beast, but Rumple got scared of a life without power, and he chose power over love. He pulled away from me, and in that moment, the darkness forever regained its grip on him. You know, a curse isn't a curse anymore when the afflicted wants it.

**Captain Hook**: That won't be a problem with Emma.

**Belle**: Killian, wait. I know you think you can handle a Dark -

**Captain Hook**: I've battled him for centuries. I'm still here.

**Belle**: But you were trying to kill him. And now, well... It's far easier to hate a Dark One than it is to love one. Be careful.

**Dark Swan**: Just because I'm the Dark One doesn't mean we can't still be together. I still also know the fastest way to a pirate's heart is through his liver.

**Captain Hook**: There's an even faster way. (*attempts True Love's Kiss*)

**Dark Swan**: Now *there's* the pirate I remember.

**Captain Hook**: It didn't bloody work.

**Dark Swan**: ...You've been talking to Belle.

**Captain Hook**: Why didn't it work?

**Dark Swan**: It didn't work because there's nothing to fix! This is who I am now. Why can't you accept that? Why can't anyone accept that?

**Captain Hook**: Because this *isn't* you. What the hell happened in Camelot?

**Dark Swan**: That seems to be the question of the day.

**Captain Hook**: Then bloody answer me!

**Dark Swan**: I wish I could.

### *Siege Perilous* (Season 5, Episode 3)

**Dark Swan**: I used to be scared and judgmental and closed off. Took me forever to see the magic in this place, and now I see things clearly. I'm not scared anymore. Honestly, I'm an open book, if you're willing to take that trust step.

**Captain Hook**: Are you really suggesting that we move forward in a real relationship?

**Dark Swan**: Gold and Belle loved each other.

**Captain Hook**: I don't think you should use the Crocodile as your example.

**Dark Swan**: But think about it. He was born a coward. He didn't find true love until he was the Dark One. You told me how the man he was groveled and cried on the deck of this ship. He changed for the better, too.

**Captain Hook**: You're wrong. I was the villain in that little drama, Swan. He was a good man trying to keep his family together. I took this cutlass and put it to his head and taunted him. I was the only one there who's changed for the better. He became an evil, manipulative killer.

**Dark Swan**: Do you remember when we were in the storybook and I taught you how to swordplay?

**Captain Hook**: More games! Enough, Swan! All I wanted was your honesty. But I'm done humoring you. Answer me, and start by why you brought me here. It wasn't because this is what we used to do, because *that* you isn't here. You need something, Dark One. Tell me what it is.

**Dark Swan**: All I need is your trust. I promise.

**Captain Hook**: I liked you the way you were. I liked your walls. I liked being the one to break them down.

**Dark Swan**: The person you found inside is still me. I have a question for you for once. Do you love me? If you tell me you don't love me, I will let you go.

**Captain Hook**: I *loved* you.

### *Dreamcatcher* (Season 5, Episode 5)

(*the heroes discuss how to make the Camelot citizens feel at home*)

**Henry Mills**: How about a dance?

**Prince Charming**: A dance, huh? Looking for an excuse to ask your girlfriend out on a date?

**Regina Mills**: Girlfriend? What girlfriend?

**Henry Mills**: She's *not* my girlfriend.

**Regina Mills**: Who's *not* your girlfriend?

**Snow White**: I think a dance is exactly what we need.

**Regina Mills**: Henry, who's this girlfriend?

**Captain Hook**: Well, if it's dating tips you need, lad, I know my way around a woman.

**Regina Mills**: Over your dead body.

**Snow White**: Regina, let's start planning! I think it *is* time Storybrooke had a ball.

### *Birth* (Season 5, Episode 8)

**Captain Hook**: I should apologize for what I said that day aboard my ship.

**Dark Swan**: For when you refused to accept me or when you said you did not love me?

**Captain Hook**: It's a bit more complicated than that.

**Dark Swan**: Doesn't matter, I'm the Dark One.

**Captain Hook**: You're more than the Dark One, you're still *you*. You saved me, that was Emma.

**Dark Swan**: What do you want from me?

**Captain Hook**: I want to help you. And I need your help to do it. Who is Nimue, and how can she defeat the darkness?

**Dark Swan**: Nimue doesn't matter anymore, this will all be over tomorrow.

**Captain Hook**: What will be over? And why do you need that damned sword? All this power, and you don't even have the courage to answer one simple bloody question. Why do you need Excalibur? I know you're still in there, Emma, and I know that despite everything, you always have your reasons!

**Dark Swan**: You're right, I do! You want to know why I'm doing all of this? I'm doing it for you.

**Captain Hook**: I need to know what happened between us in Camelot. Just tell me.

**Dark Swan**: It's not that easy.

**Captain Hook**: It can be. Whatever you did, whatever you are trying to atone for, I already forgive you.

**Dark Swan**: I don't need forgiveness.

**Captain Hook**: Then come clean. I assure you, you've done no worse than I. I was a pirate for hundreds of years.

**Dark Swan**: And you think it's the same?

**Captain Hook**: (*shows his rings*) You see this? Belonged to a man named Barnaby. Called me "One Hand Jones". I killed him in front of his wife, took his ring. This one, Edgar. Fine sailor. I caught him drinking the captain's wine. I drowned him. Every ring is a sad story.

(*imprisoned at Swan House*)

**Captain Hook**: Zelena. Why are you here?

**Zelena**: Your insane girlfriend *sped up* my pregnancy, kidnapped me right after giving birth, and separated me from my little girl. And they say *I'm* wicked.

**Captain Hook**: Why would she do that? What does she need you for?

**Zelena**: From the looks of things, she's casting a spell to steal my magic.

**Captain Hook**: Why does she need more dark magic?

**Dark Swan**: (*enters*) I don't. I'm not taking Zelena's magic. I'm giving her mine instead.

**Zelena**: What?

**Dark Swan**: Killian, you were right. My plan is not to destroy light magic. It's been to destroy *dark* magic... The dark magic that's inside of me.

**Captain Hook**: If that were true, why keep it secret from me or the rest of your family?

**Dark Swan**: Because I knew you would never let me do what was necessary to get the job done.

**Zelena**: And that's where I come in.

**Dark Swan**: Yes. The darkness needs to be contained in a vessel. *You*.

**Captain Hook**: Emma, what are you going to do?

**Dark Swan**: What needs to be done. I'm going to cut her down with Excalibur's enchanted blade, and the darkness will be vanquished forever.

**Zelena**: That's why you needed my baby out.

**Dark Swan**: I don't want anyone to get hurt who doesn't have to. There *are* limits.

**Captain Hook**: You call those limits, Emma? You're still talking about cold-blooded murder!

**Dark Swan**: Killian, she killed Neal and Marian. Given time, she will kill you, too.

**Zelena**: After today, you can be certain!

**Captain Hook**: This isn't about Zelena, Emma. It's about *you*. We went to Camelot for Merlin's help. Surely he has a solution to the darkness that doesn't require this.

**Dark Swan**: Merlin can't help us anymore.

(*Hook remembers that Emma turned him into a Dark One*)

**Captain Hook**: So *that's* why you saved my life twice tonight. I was never in any danger. You just wanted to keep me from the truth.

**Dark Swan**: I wanted to fix it first to make up for what I had done.

**Zelena**: By killing me? How sweet.

**Dark Swan**: It was the only way to destroy the darkness in *both* of us. Everything I've done since we got back to Storybrooke was to try to save you, Killian.

**Captain Hook**: This is saving? How could you do this to me?

**Dark Swan**: I'm sorry.

**Captain Hook**: So much for our future, Swan.

### *Broken Heart* (Season 5, Episode 10)

**Dark Swan**: You're here because you still have feelings for me.

**Dark Hook**: Oh, Swan... Of course I still have feelings for you. Anger. Hatred. Disappointment.

**Dark Swan**: You don't mean that.

**Dark Hook**: When you tethered me to Excalibur, you opened my eyes, and I now see you for what you really are... an anchor. Ha! And I see clearly now that you were nothing more than a pretty blonde distraction. But guess what, Swan? I am a free man now, and you will never hold me back from getting what I want again.

**Dark Swan**: Hook - Killian - Whatever deal you made to get your revenge on Gold, it's not worth it. The darkness is using you. It doesn't care what you want. It only cares what *it* wants.

**Dark Hook**: Well, you're only a pawn if you don't know you're being used. As long as I get what I want, I don't give a damn about the rest, and you of all people should understand that.

**Dark Swan**: Everything I did, I did for you!

**Dark Hook**: Well, you see, that's your problem, Swan. You're so afraid of losing the people that you love that you push them away, and that's why you'll *always* be an orphan. You don't need some villain swooping in to destroy your happiness. You do that quite well all on your own!

**Dark Swan**: Why are you doing this?

**Dark Hook**: Because, I want to hurt you, like you hurt me.

(*after Hook duels Rumplestiltskin and loses*)

**Darkness as Rumplestiltskin**: Congratulations. You didn't completely fail. You returned from your duel with exactly the right ingredients for our plan; the blood of a man who'd been to hell and back. Rumplestiltskin has done what few can claim. He died, and then he returned. This pond holds a portal to the Underworld itself.

**Dark Hook**: This is where the fury tried to drag Robin Hood to hell. I thought the portal only appeared when the moon reaches its zenith?

**Darkness as Rumplestiltskin**: Yes, for a fury. But it's always existed, dearie. You just have to know how to open it.

(*previous Dark Ones arrive from the Underworld*)

**Dark Hook**: Bloody hell.

**Darkness as Rumplestiltskin**: That's exactly where that came from.

**Dark Hook**: Nimue.

**Nimue**: We're here. All of us, as promised, in the flesh. And now it's time to get to work, to do what Dark Ones do best. Snuff out the light.

**Dark Hook**: Welcome to Storybrooke, love.

### *Swan Song* (Season 5, Episode 11)

(*Hook has a last second change of heart when Nimue telekinetically chokes Emma*)

**Nimue**: What do you think you're doing?

**Dark Hook**: Being the man I want to be.

**Nimue**: You can't stop us.

**Dark Hook**: Yes, I can.

(*Hook traps the spirits of the previous Dark Ones inside Excalibur*)

**Dark Swan**: Killian, you can't do this!

**Dark Hook**: We both know there's no other way, love. We have to hurry. The darkness won't stay trapped in Excalibur much longer. Take it.

**Dark Swan**: No!

**Dark Hook**: You have to help me, Swan. Take it.

**Dark Swan**: I can't. It should be me.

**Dark Hook**: Your family needs you. If anyone deserves to go to the Underworld, it's me. You were right. I was weak, so let me make up for it now by being strong.

**Dark Swan**: (*crying*) I don't want to lose you!

**Dark Hook**: And I don't want to lose you. But you have to let me go. Let me die a hero! That's the man I want you to remember, please!

**Dark Swan**: I love you.

**Dark Hook**: I love you, too.

(*Emma kills Hook with Excalibur, destroying the sword and erasing the darkness from both of them*)

### *Devil's Due* (Season 5, Episode 14)

**Hades**: Oh, come on! All you need to do is choose three of your friends to stay here. Carve their name. What's the problem? Is it the chisel? So unwieldy for the one-handed? Or writer's block?

**Captain Hook**: I'm not doing it.

**Hades**: I must say, I'm not angry. I'm disappointed. And on second thought... I'm *angry*. I guess it's off to solitary. Now, listen carefully. This is the River of Lost Souls. Touch it, and it will make you lost, reducing you to a mindless, tormented husk. So please, keep all arms and hand inside the boat.

(*Emma and Rumplestiltskin successfully save Captain Hook*)

**Snow White**: Killian!

**Henry Mills**: (*to Emma*) Good job, Mom.

**Snow White**: Oh, look at you!

**Captain Hook**: (*bloodied and beaten*) I'll be all right.

**Prince Charming**: How did you do it?

**Emma Swan**: Gold got us in. He got us help. He poofed us back here. He even had a boat to get us all back home. But it's gone.

**Snow White**: What happened?

**Captain Hook**: Hades attacked. We lost the boat and... (*about Milah*) we lost a friend. (*to Rumplestiltskin*) I hear you took away my sacrifice. Everything I did to save my friends all went to give you back your power. I should kill you.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Acknowledged.

**Captain Hook**: *But* you helped get me out of there, so I should say -

**Rumplestiltskin**: Thank you? No need.

**Captain Hook**: - Stay of execution. We're even, for now.

**Rumplestiltskin**: I just wanted to get home. And yes, you're welcome, Captain.

**Robin Hood**: (*about Milah*) Well, we're sorry you lost her.

**Rumplestiltskin**: She made me who I am.

### *The Brothers Jones* (Season 5, Episode 15)

**Captain Hook**: Emma, you were the Dark One for six weeks and only gave in to the darkness out of love. I plunged in headfirst in a second for revenge. I was weak!

**Emma Swan**: Not in the end.

**Captain Hook**: You raised the bar very high, Swan. The fact is, I don't measure up.

**Emma Swan**: Let me be the judge of that. If you didn't, would I have come all the way down here to try to save you?

**Captain Hook**: That's my point. I'm not sure I deserve saving.

### *Firebird* (Season 5, Episode 20)

**Emma Swan**: Killian, I came to the Underworld to save you. I'm not going back without you.

**Captain Hook**: I'm afraid we don't have that choice, love. Look, I just want to say my goodbyes down here without everyone watching.

**Emma Swan**: No.

**Captain Hook**: We've already had more time than we were ever meant to.

**Emma Swan**: That's not true.

**Captain Hook**: We both know it is. You should have let me go in Camelot. Don't make that mistake again.

**Emma Swan**: I just... I don't know how to say goodbye.

**Captain Hook**: Well, then don't. Just promise me one thing. If I helped take off that armor, don't put it back on just because you're gonna lose me.

**Emma Swan**: I promise. But then you have to promise me something, too. Don't let me be your unfinished business. Move on from here. Don't wait for me to show up.

**Captain Hook**: Aye, love. I think I can manage that. I love you.

**Emma Swan**: I love you too.

### *A Bitter Draught* (Season 6, Episode 2)

**Belle**: I don't understand. Why would you risk your life for me?

**Captain Hook**: Long ago, I... I tried to kill you in the Queen's castle once. I failed. But along the way, I did something I can live with no longer. I laid a hand on you. And there's the matter of my shooting you at the town line.

**Belle**: Yeah, well, you've changed since all that.

**Captain Hook**: Maybe. I have a long road to travel before I can be someone I can be proud of. Despite the forgiveness of others, I must forgive myself, and I'm not there yet.

### *Street Rats* (Season 6, Episode 5)

**Emma Swan**: I've been having visions of what I think is my future. I've been shaking. In the vision, I die. According to Hyde, all saviors die. Aladdin was also a savior, so I thought if I found him - if I found him *alive* - that he could help me avoid my fate.

**Captain Hook**: So you lied to us?

**Snow White**: Do you not trust us?

**Prince Charming**: We're your family. And you don't keep secrets from your family!

**Henry Mills**: And you die? Who kills you?

### *Wish You Were Here* (Season 6, Episode 10)

(*the Serum Queen kneels by Robin Hood's grave*)

**Captain Hook**: Bloody hell.

**Regina Mills**: Get away from him!

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: Don't worry, I'm not here to desecrate Robin's final resting place... I loved him too, you know! (*chuckles*) *Loved*. Past tense! Losing Robin Hood was the best thing that ever happened to us. It pushed you to liberate me; to free me from the prison of your self-loathing... To make *me* the best version of *us*.

**Emma Swan**: Regina, don't let her get to you.

**Regina Mills**: It's too late. (*conjures fireball*)

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: (*chuckles*) What are you gonna do? Throw a fireball at yourself? The only way to hurt *me* is to hurt *you*, which is why your friends won't be able to stop me. See? Love *is* weakness. (*to Emma*) Say hi to Sleeping Beauty... or, is it Sleeping Daddy?

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: I believe I have three wishes.

**Aladdin**: Go ahead, wish. They always come with a price.

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: That they do. Which is why I'm not going to wish for something for me. (*to Emma*) I'm going to give you something... something you've always wanted. Something you confided about to Aladdin.

**Emma Swan**: You heard us?

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: Don't you know by now? I hear *everything*. You wished you weren't the savior. So that's exactly what you're going to get. Genie of Agrabah, I wish that Emma Swan's wish - to have never been the savior - be granted.

**Emma Swan**: No! (*Aladdin teleports Emma to the Wish Realm*)

**Prince Charming**: Emma!

**Captain Hook**: What happened? Where did she go?!

### *Murder Most Foul* (Season 6, Episode 12)

**Prince Charming**: That bastard admitted he killed my father! If you take this away from me, I will never, *never* forgive you!

**Captain Hook**: *Yes*, he killed your father. But he also told you about his final moments; that he resisted temptation.

**Prince Charming**: And it didn't *work*! He still died. I thought he didn't fight for us, but he did. He fought with everything he had. He did the right thing. And it wasn't enough! So what if... What if Gideon comes back stronger and kills Emma? What if I can't be with Snow ever again? What if being "Prince Charming" isn't enough, and I start losing, and it keeps going, and I lose everything that matters to me?!

**Captain Hook**: Alright. I'll step aside. You can kill this man if you think it'll make you stronger. But think about your father. He wanted to look you in the eye. Do you want to be able to look back?

**Prince Charming**: I owe you an apology. You were the noble one, not me. And I'm sorry it cost you more than I realized it would. And I'm sorry I risked what you're making with Emma.

**Captain Hook**: So you think... I'm good enough for her?

**Prince Charming**: You've done the hardest thing anyone can do. You've changed. And today, you saved me from a terrible mistake, and I... I don't know if I'm gonna be able to pay you back.

**Captain Hook**: As luck would have it, I might have an idea. There's one way for you not to lose your family... and that's to let it grow. David, may I have your blessing to ask for Emma's hand in marriage?

**Prince Charming**: (*pauses*) Of course. Of course you have my blessing.

### *The Song in Your Heart* (Season 6, Episode 20)

**Captain Hook**: Emma, when we met, there was just one thing that mattered to me... Getting my revenge. And you did something that no one else ever could. You showed me that a heart full of love was the most precious treasure of all, and one that I don't intend to lose. They say that a captain's heart belongs to his ship. And with this ring, it now belongs to you.

**Emma Swan**: Killian, I spent so much of my life on my own. And then, Henry found me and brought me to Storybrooke, and helped me find the rest of my family. But just because you learn that you come from True Love doesn't mean that you believe that you'll ever find it. But thanks to you, now I have.

**Jiminy Cricket**: Do you, Killian Jones, take this woman to be your wife and to love her for all eternity?

**Captain Hook**: I do.

**Jiminy Cricket**: And do you, Emma Swan, take this man to be your husband and love him for all eternity?

**Emma Swan**: I do.

**Jiminy Cricket**: Then it is with great pleasure that I now pronounce you husband and wife.

## During Fourth Curse

### *The Final Battle Part 1* (Season 6, Episode 21)

**Wicked Witch of the West**: When I left Oz, it was falling apart, *apocalyptic*, but now -

**Snow White:** It's erased.

**Prince Charming**: Like it never existed.

**Captain Hook**: What the bloody hell has this got to do with Emma?

**Evil Queen**: (*about Black Fairy*) This is what she's doing. It's why she wants Emma to destroy the book!

**Snow White**: As the savior's belief fades, so do all the realms of story.

**Evil Queen**: If we don't stop the Black Fairy, all the realms will be destroyed... And everyone in them!

## After Fourth Curse

### *A Pirate's Life* (Season 7, Episode 2)

**Rapunzel Tremaine**: Find out where he hid the slipper. Then kill him. Cinderella must never see that man again.

**Drizella Tremaine**: But why? I don't understand.

**Rapunzel Tremaine**: I don't need you to understand. I need you to obey. (*exits*)

**Henry Mills**: Whatever she wants you to do to me, you don't have to do it. You seem a lot nicer than she is.

**Drizella Tremaine**: I'm not. So... Where did you hide the slipper?
 (*Hook and Regina enter via a portal*)

**Captain Hook**: Get away from him... Now.

**Drizella Tremaine**: And who are you?

**Regina Mills**: I'm his *mother*. (*knocks Drizella out with magic*)

## After Sixth Curse

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

**Snow White**: Do you, Regina Mills, accept the role of the first elected ruler of the newly united realms?

**Regina Mills**: I do.

**Prince Charming**: Excellent. So, if you please. (*Regina bows for Snow to crown her*)

**Snow White**: I now crown you -

**Emma Swan**: (*Emma and Hook enter with baby Hope*) Sorry, I'm late.

**Regina Mills**: (*relieved*) Emma!

**Emma Swan**: You didn't think I was gonna miss this, did you? Hey, kid.

**Henry Mills**: Hi, Mom.

**Emma Swan**: You want to give your stepfather a hand there?

**Henry Mills**: Oh, yeah.

**Captain Hook**: Pun intended. Pun always intended, isn't that the case?

**Emma Swan**: Sorry!

**Henry Mills**: So, how is little Hope? Is she ready for her first coronation?

**Snow White**: If we're all here, can I please continue?

**Emma Swan**: Sorry, Mom. Sorry.

**Snow White**: Okay, then. Regina Mills, I now crown you the Good Queen. Long may she reign!

**Emma Swan**: Madame Mayor.

**Captain Hook**: Uh, I think you'll find it's "Your Majesty."

**Emma Swan**: Well, she'll always be "Madame Mayor" to me. (*to Regina*) This is it. It's your happy ending.

**Regina Mills**: Mm, no, Miss Swan, not even close. This isn't an ending. I *hate* endings. Because then your story's done. And everyone here? Well, their stories are *far* from over.

**Emma Swan**: Well, a happy beginning then.

**Regina Mills**: I like to call it a second chance. (*to audience*) I thought my story came to an end a long time ago, and then new people came into my life. People who gave me a second chance. I can't wait to see what's in store for me next. Well, for everyone. I refuse to believe there won't be more adventures, more love, more family; and yes, there will be more loss because that's just a part of life. And in the end, we can get past it all with hope.
