An Apple Red as Blood/Quotes

## Quotes

**Mr. Gold**: Henry. Miss Swan wants him.

**Regina Mills**: She'll have that boy over my dead body.

**Mr. Gold**: The curse was meant to take away Snow White and Prince Charming's happiness. Perhaps you giving up Henry is just the price to keep the curse unbroken.

**Regina Mills**: I think I'd rather just get rid of *her*.

**Mr. Gold**: Well, well. You're going to have to be quite creative. We both know the repercussions in killing Miss Swan.

**Both**: The curse would be broken.

**Regina Mills**: That's because *you* designed it that way. Undo it.

**Mr. Gold**: You know, even if I wanted to, I couldn't. Magic, well, is in short supply round here, and dwindling by the minute.

**Regina Mills**: You *want* the curse broken! Why?

**Mr. Gold**: That's not something I care to discuss.

**Regina Mills**: Don't bother, you can shove your reasons! I want to strike a new deal. One where I can get rid of Emma *without* shattering the curse.

**Mr. Gold**: Unfortunately for you, a negotiation requires *two* interested parties, and I'm already planning a trip.

**Regina Mills**: I'll give you anything.

**Mr. Gold**: (*chuckles*) You no longer have anything I want, dearie. But I will give you a piece of advice, free of charge - I'd plan a trip of your own. Because once people waken up and remember who you are and what you did to them, they are going to be looking for blood.

**Mary Margaret Blanchard**: (*Emma returns after considering running away with Henry*) Oh. Thought you'd left.

**Emma Swan**: Mary Margaret -

**Mary Margaret Blanchard**: But I couldn't tell for sure, because you didn't bother to say goodbye! Do you remember when I left? When I ran? What you said to me? You said we have to stick together. That we’re like family.

**Emma Swan**: Yeah. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left.

**Mary Margaret Blanchard**: You're right, you shouldn't have. So why, after everything, did you just go?

**Emma Swan**: I don't want to be Sheriff. I don't want people relying on me. I don't want this, any of it.

**Mary Margaret Blanchard**: What about Henry?

**Emma Swan**: I took him with me.

**Mary Margaret Blanchard**: You *abducted* him?

**Emma Swan**: Maybe.

**Mary Margaret Blanchard**: So you don't want people to rely on you, but you took your son? Now *that* sounds like a stable home for him. What the hell is wrong with you?

**Emma Swan**: I want what's best for him.

**Mary Margaret Blanchard**: And running is what's best for him? Or is that what's best for *you*? You're reverting, Emma, into the person you were before you got here. And I thought you'd changed.

**Emma Swan**: You thought wrong.

**Mary Margaret Blanchard**: Well, regardless, you have to do what's right for Henry now.

**Emma Swan**: What's that?

**Mary Margaret Blanchard**: Oh, I don't know. *You're* his mother – that's *your* job. So *you* figure it out.

**Red Riding Hood**: (*the Evil Queen kidnaps Prince Charming*) Why is the Queen doing this?

**Snow White**: I destroyed her happiness, and now she wants to destroy mine.

**Henry Mills**: (*August reveals that he's turning back into wood*) All of this... I was right! The curse - it's real!

**August Booth**: You're a smart kid.

**Henry Mills**: And you're Pinocchio!

**August Booth**: What gave it away?

**Henry Mills**: But why are you turning back to wood? Your story - you should be real.

**August Booth**: I'm changing back because I haven't exactly been a good boy. And, well, if the curse doesn't break, this doesn’t stop.

**Henry Mills**: So we show Emma that you're turning back into the puppet you were, and then she *has* to believe! And when she does, she could break the curse!

**August Booth**: I tried that. She doesn't want to see, so she doesn't. There's nothing more that I can do. I'm getting tired. It's hard to ride and it's hard to walk. Soon it's going to be hard to breathe.

**Henry Mills**: So we have to do something fast.

**August Booth**: There's nothing to do. And with what little time I have left, I want to spend it with my father.

**Henry Mills**: Marco.

**August Booth**: Told you you're a smart kid.

**Henry Mills**: So everyone's giving up?

**August Booth**: I'm afraid that I don't have a choice. I'm sorry, kid, but I'm out of Operation Cobra. Now it's up to you.

**Evil Queen**: You promised to keep my secret. You promised, but you lied!

**Snow White**: I was very young, and your mother -

**Evil Queen**: She *ripped his heart out* because of you! Because you *couldn't listen* to me!

**Snow White**: You took my father... Haven't we both suffered enough?

**Evil Queen**: No! (*takes out Poisoned Apple*)

**Snow White**: What is that?

**Evil Queen**: It's just a morsel. Did you know that apples stand for health and wisdom?

**Snow White**: So why do I get the feeling that one might kill me?

**Evil Queen**: It won't kill you. No, what it will do is *far* worse. Your body will be your tomb, and you'll be in there with nothing but dreams formed of your own regrets.

**Snow White**: And you're going to force me to eat it?

**Evil Queen**: Of course not. It wouldn't work anyway. The choice is yours. It must be taken willingly.

**Snow White**: And *why* would I do that?

**Evil Queen**: Because if you refuse the apple, your Prince, your Charming... will be *killed*.

**Snow White**: No...

**Evil Queen**: As I said, the choice is yours.

**Snow White**: I take that apple, and he lives? That's the deal you want to make?

**Evil Queen**: With all my heart

**Snow White**: Then congratulations. You've won. (*bites the apple and falls under the Sleeping Curse)*

**Emma Swan**: I want to make a deal with you about Henry.

**Regina Mills**: I'm not making any deals with you -

**Emma Swan**: I'm leaving town.

**Regina Mills**: What?

**Emma Swan**: This... What we're doing is a problem, and I'm gonna go, but I have conditions. I still get to see Henry. I get to visit and spend time, whatever.

**Regina Mills**: (*disapproving*) And you get to see him. You're still in his life.

**Emma Swan**: Look, in any deal, both parties are a little unhappy. But let's be honest; We both know the world where I'm not in his life no longer exists, and there's *no one* who can do anything about that.

**Regina Mills**: You're right.

**Emma Swan**: I have to go.

**Henry Mills**: Go? You mean leave Storybrooke?

**Emma Swan**: Yeah. I spoke to Regina, and we made a deal. I'm still going to be able to see you, just not every day.

**Henry Mills**: No! No, you can't trust her!

**Emma Swan**: I have to. It's my only choice. It's what's best for you, Henry. Every time I fight her, someone else gets hurt.

**Henry Mills**: No, no, no! You're just scared. This happens to *all* heroes. It's just the low moment before you fight back.

**Emma Swan**: Henry! This isn't a story! This is *reality*. And things have to change. You can't skip school, you can't run away, and you can't believe in curses.

**Henry Mills**: You really don't believe?

**Emma Swan**: I... This is how it has to be right now.
