A Bitter Draught/Quotes

## Quotes

**Regina Mills**: (*to refugees*) As mayor, I would like to officially welcome you to Storybrooke. You fled to the Land of Untold Stories because you were afraid that whatever was in this book is going to play out. But now that you're here, I'm sure you're scared it will. But what you don't realize is I'm just like you. I'm also getting a fresh start and I don't know what the future holds either. But I do know one thing. We don't have to be afraid of anything. Because whatever comes next, we're going to face it. Together.

**Snow White**: (*investigating hotel room*) He was definitely here.

**Prince Charming**: (*opens a chest of weapons*) And calligraphy isn't his only hobby. (*to Regina*) Why didn't you tell us?

**Regina Mills**: Well, I didn't know he was in Storybrooke. And do you really want to hear about every time I tried to kill you?

**Prince Charming**: Yes!

**Emma Swan**: (*starting car*) Errol Flynn is not backing down. (*starts driving*)

**Snow White**: Where are you taking us?

**Emma Swan**: I told Regina I'd take you somewhere safe.

**Snow White**: Emma, no, we are not leaving town. We're not running from our wine steward.

**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.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Well, this is very disappointing. I mean, I didn't spend *years* training you so you could spend your days fencing and get someone else to do your dirty work.

**Evil Queen**: Oh, you know *exactly* why I'm doing this. You put a spell on Snow and Charming so I can't hurt them.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Yes. And then I gave you the Dark Curse so you could take them somewhere where you *can*.

**Evil Queen**: I don't care! I'm going to get what I want, and I'll get it *without* you.

**Regina Mills**: I couldn't just stand by and watch the Count kill my friends!

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: Oh, I thought heroes always found a third way. Unless, of course, this means... You're *not* a hero.

**Regina Mills**: I will rip your heart out!

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: Yes! *That's* the Regina I remember. We do like it rough, don't we?

**Regina Mills**: You didn't want the Count to kill Snow and David... You wanted *me* to kill him!

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: Well, it was the only way to show you, that no matter what you do, the darkness will *always* be inside. And that *tiny* bit of darkness I awakened today is only going to grow.

**Snow White**: Don't listen to her, Regina.

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: *Snow White*.

**Prince Charming**: Snow...

**Snow White**: No, I'm not afraid of her. (*to Serum Queen*) We defeated you before, we'll do it again.

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: Oh, I'm not the one who's going to destroy your happy endings. Not this time.

**Regina Mills**: Then who is?

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: *You*. You're going to destroy *everyone's* happy endings.

**Snow White**: You won't divide this family!

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: Oh, I won't have to. The people from the Land of Untold Stories aren't the only ones with tales they don't want told. And when *your* stories *finally* play out, I'll just sit back, and watch you... *tear yourselves apart*.
