A Tale of Two Sisters/Quotes

## Quotes

**Emma Swan**: I'm sorry. When I brought Marian back, I didn't know who she was. I didn't intend to cause you pain.

**Regina Mills**: Well, your intentions don't really matter. Because once again, I've felt the brunt of heroism. Always a villain, even when I'm not.

**Emma Swan**: What was I supposed to do?

**Regina Mills**: Well, you were dumb enough to travel through time. Maybe you should have left things well enough alone.

**Emma Swan**: I am not going to apologize for saving someone's life.

**Regina Mills**: She was to die *anyway*. What did it matter?

**Emma Swan**: It mattered because she was a person. And whatever she did, she didn't deserve to die.

**Regina Mills**: Well, maybe she did.

**Emma Swan**: Well, you would know. I saved her from *you*.

**Regina Mills**: The woman who did that, that was the person I *was*, not the person I *am*.

**Rumplestiltskin**: (*at Neal's grave*) My boy. Remember when you were small, there was a night, during the Ogres' War? There was a terrible noise. It was horses' hooves thundering down the dusty path. You crawled into my bed, and I can still hear your little voice. "Papa, I'm afraid". And I guess by instinct, I just said, "Don't you worry, son. Everything's gonna be fine" and you smiled at me. You know, that was the happiest moment of my life, because for the first time ever, I felt like a man, that I could truly look after you, alone. Until I discovered this. It turned me into a monster, obsessed with power, when all I needed was you, your love. And now, through Belle, there's love in my life again. And once more, I've started it with a lie. She thinks she has the real dagger. I only lied to her in order to avenge your death. And now that I've done so, I really need the strength to give it back, be that man I should be, the man you died for. And I pledge, Baelfire, I will be that man. Your heroism has shown me the way. I promise. I'll spend my life repaying you for that.

**Emma Swan**: Looks like Regina does not want to be disturbed. But that doesn't mean that she's doing anything -

**Henry Mills**: Evil? I know. I just... Let me try calling her. Maybe, you know, it's *you* she doesn't want to hear from.

**Emma Swan**: You might have a point, kid. (*Henry exits*)

**Snow White**: I hope for his sake she doesn't give in to what she sometimes gives in to.

**Emma Swan**: Seems to be handling it well.

**Snow White**: I mean, between losing and regaining his memories, seeing both of his moms with new men...

**Emma Swan**: Uh, speaking of that...

**Snow White**: He doesn't know about you and Hook?

**Emma Swan**: There is no me and Hook.

**Snow White**: Mm.

**Emma Swan**: Okay, well, I don't know what there is, but I certainly can't talk to Henry if I don't know what I'm talking about.

(*Elsa finds her mother Queen Gerda's diary*)

**Queen Elsa**: I want to be alone.

**Princess Anna**: You have a sister. You're never gonna be alone... other than when I'm not around. But even then, I'll be there in spirit. But that doesn't matter, because I'm here now, and you're not alone. And you know what I mean? And it's a nice thing. What was in the diary? You can tell me anything.

**Queen Elsa**: Turns out our parents *didn't* go off on some diplomatic mission like everyone thought. That was just a cover.

**Princess Anna**: For what?

**Queen Elsa**: Read it.

**Princess Anna**: "I wish I didn't have to hide the truth from our children, but the truth would be too painful. What we've seen from Elsa is terrifying, and it has to be stopped."

**Queen Elsa**: They were scared of me. That's why they left... because they thought I was a monster.

**Princess Anna**: It's about our parents. What were they *really* doing on that voyage?

**Grand Pabbie**: I'm sorry. I don't know.

**Queen Elsa**: Thank you. Come on, let's go.

**Grand Pabbie**: Wait. I may not know what they were doing, but I know where they were going. Days before their journey, your parents stopped by to say they were not going to the Northern Isles. And they had a few questions about a land called Misthaven.

**Queen Elsa**: What did they want there?

**Grand Pabbie**: They never said. They, like many of us, had their secrets. I need my beauty sleep. (*exits*)

**Princess Anna**: We have an answer.

**Queen Elsa**: No, we have more questions.

**Princess Anna**: We have one answer and more questions. That's a start. We have to go to Misthaven.

**Queen Elsa**: No, I can't just leave. I'm still Queen. I can't abandon the kingdom.

**Princess Anna**: You're just making excuses.

**Queen Elsa**: Have you forgotten your last dalliance, Hans? He and his twelve angry brothers are out there waiting to pounce at the first moment of weakness.

**Princess Anna**: Okay, good excuses, but still... Let me go alone. Give me two weeks. Misthaven is a short journey. Two weeks, and I'll be right back.

**Queen Elsa**: That's just what Mother and Father said.

(*Regina locates Sidney to help her erase Maid Marian*)

**Sidney Glass**: I knew you hadn't forgot about me!

**Regina Mills**: Right.

**Sidney Glass**: How do you want me to kill her?

**Regina Mills**: I don't want you to do anything of the sort. If she shows up dead, how long do you think it would take before someone figured out I put you up to it? This requires a more elegant touch. I have to undo Emma's mistake. I have to go back in time before Emma arrived and kill Marian *before* she can be saved.

**Sidney Glass**: What I don't get is my purpose in all this?

**Regina Mills**: Well, as queen, I sentenced many to death; captured many prisoners.

**Sidney Glass**: You don't remember this Marian.

**Regina Mills**: Well, she's awfully vanilla. Can you blame me? I need you to show me the exact moment I captured her so I know when to travel back to.

**Sidney Glass**: But how am I supposed to do that? In this world, I'm no longer the mirror with...

(*Regina traps Sidney inside her mirror*)

**Regina Mills**: Now you are.

**Sidney Glass**: No!! No!! No!!

**Regina Mills**: Relax, it's just temporary.

**Evil Queen**: Where is Snow White? She thinks silence is bravery, not stupidity. (*to Black Knights regarding Maid Marian*) She dies tomorrow. Hurry her along. The stench of peasant is overwhelming.

**Maid Marian**: I feel sorry for you!

**Evil Queen**: Do you?

**Maid Marian**: If you had a family of your own, if you had love, you'd know you shouldn't do this. You wouldn't have to be so cruel.

**Evil Queen**: Don't you tell me what I do or don't understand! I know who I am and what I want. And right now... It's your head on a spike!

**Queen Elsa**: Where's Anna?

**Kristoff Bjorgman**: Isn't she in the palace?

**Queen Elsa**: If she were, would I be here?

**Kristoff Bjorgman**: Uh, um... She had some errands to run. Um, we need more frosting... for the cake. Yeah, she was concerned we weren't gonna have enough. I tried to tell her it'd be fine, but what could I do? Brides are perfectionists.

**Queen Elsa**: Frosting... There is no frosting.

**Kristoff Bjorgman**: Exactly. She's taking care of that.

**Queen Elsa**: No, I mean that's a lie. Talk, reindeer man! What is going on here?

**Kristoff Bjorgman**: Wedding details. I'm just making sure -

**Queen Elsa**: That she wasn't followed. You're trying to delay me.

**Kristoff Bjorgman**: Do you want to see the floral arrangements?

**Queen Elsa**: Where did she go, Kristoff? Misthaven?

**Kristoff Bjorgman**: Okay, yes, but she's doing it for you.

**Queen Elsa**: When?

**Kristoff Bjorgman**: She booked passage on a ship that's set to leave, well, any moment now.

**Regina Mills**: Mirror. Mirror? Sidney!

**Sidney Glass**: Yes, Your Majesty. What can I do for you?

**Regina Mills**: You can help me change fate.

**Sidney Glass**: I can probably tell you if you're wearing too much eye makeup, but change fate? That is beyond my powers of reflection.

**Regina Mills**: Your powers and mine together shall do it. (*holds up* Once Upon a Time *book*) This book is why I'm suffering, not Marian. Every story in it has one thing in common... The villains never get the happy ending, and it's always been right. I thought *not* being the villain would change things, but this book, these stories, only see me one way.

**Sidney Glass**: So, what's your plan?

**Regina Mills**: Find the writer. We must find out who wrote this cursed tome and then force them to give me what I deserve. It's time to change the book. It's time for villains to get their happy endings.
