Dark Hollow (Episode)/Quotes

## Quotes

**Rumplestiltskin**: Can you get there?

**Ariel**: It's far. I'll have to cross over realms to get there, but yes, I can make it.

**Rumplestiltskin**: If all went according to plan, Storybrooke will be surrounded by a cloaking spell. When you arrive, surface closer to the shore, then you're inside it's bounds.

**Ariel**: And what would you like me to bring you back?

**Rumplestiltskin**: An object to help us defeat Pan.

**Ariel**: Well, I'm going to need a little more than that to go on.

**Rumplestiltskin**: I'm sorry. Pan has ears everywhere. I can't risk telling you.

**Ariel**: Then how?

**Rumplestiltskin**: Find a woman named Belle and then give her this. (*gives Ariel a sand dollar*) She'll know what to do.

**Ariel**: Belle. Storybrooke. Got it. And Eric? Where will I find him in this new world?

**Regina Mills**: Well that comes after you've succeeded. Incentives are important. The bracelet will only give you legs for 24 hours.

**Ariel**: How do I know you will uphold your end of the bargain when I'm back?

**Regina Mills**: Guess you'll just have to trust me.

**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.

(*at Granny's Diner*)

**Jiminy Cricket**: All right, so that's the fourth cheeseburger you've turned down this week. It's about Gold, isn't it?

**Granny**: Certainly not my cooking.

**Jiminy Cricket**: You miss him.

**Belle**: Yeah. And it's just... He said he was going off to his death. And I just... I wish I was... I wish I was able to help him, help save Henry.

**Jiminy Cricket**: But you protected Storybrooke. I mean, that... that's just as important.

**Belle**: All I did was pour a potion over some rocks. The dwarves did all the hard work.

**Jiminy Cricket**: Hey, you wanted to be a hero. Sounds like you were. And you kept the bad guys out.

**Belle**: What bad guys? Come on, face it. Nobody's coming here! I wasn't on that ship because he doesn't need me.

**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.

**Michael Darling**: (*about Pandora's Box*) What did Rumplestiltskin tell you about this thing?

**Ariel**: I'm not afraid of you, or your gun. And not just because I don't know what it is!

**John Darling**: Shall we demonstrate? The box. What is it?

**Belle**: It's magic, which you're only gonna destroy anyway, so why do you even care?

**Michael Darling**: Because our boss wants to know.

**Belle**: Your boss? (*scoffs*) You don't even know what this is all about, or who you're really working for.

**John Darling**: Peter Pan.

**Belle**: What?

**Michael Darling**: Yes, we know exactly who we're working for.

**Belle**: But Rumple said that -

**John Darling**: Greg and Tamara didn't know? They were patsies. We, on the other hand, are aware of our real mission.

**Belle**: Which is what?

**Michael Darling**: Seeing that your Rumple fails, and that this thing never makes it back to Neverland.

**Prince Charming**: Snow! When are you going to start talking to me again? When we're storming Pan's camp? When we're grabbing Henry? *When*? You need to say something!

**Snow White**: *Why*? *You* didn't! You didn't tell me anything!

**Prince Charming**: At first I was hoping that I could find a cure for the poison, and if I could, then I figured there was no reason to worry you.<be />
**Snow White**: Okay. But then you *did* find a cure, and you *still* didn't tell me!

**Prince Charming**: I know.

**Snow White**: So what? You were afraid to worry me again?

**Prince Charming**: No, I-I-I-I didn't think -

**Snow White**: No! You didn't *think*! You didn't think I had a right to know you can *never* leave this island? Why didn't you tell me?

**Prince Charming**: I was scared!

**Snow White**: Did you think I wouldn't stay here with you? After everything we've been through, did you think I would ever leave your side?

**Prince Charming**: No, I knew you wouldn't. *That's* what scared me. And I didn't want that for you. I didn't want you to be stuck on this island with me. The price of this cure was something I didn't want to force on you.

**Snow White**: Love means being *together*.

**Prince Charming**: I know. It also means sacrifice and protecting the person you love. How could a part of me not want you to leave this place?

**Snow White**: I would happily build a treehouse and spend the rest of my days dodging poison arrows and Lost Boys as long as I had you by my side! But you should have told me.

**Prince Charming**: I know. I'm sorry.

**Snow White**: You didn't believe, David. You needed to believe in us.

**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!

**John Darling**: We don't care about magic.

**Belle**: Then what were you trying to do?

**John Darling**: Trying to save our sister.

**Ariel**: Your sister?

**John Darling**: She's been Pan's prisoner for a long time.

**Michael Darling**: Over a century.

**Belle**: That's impossible. You'd be -

**John Darling**: Dead. We're well aware. Pan has kept us alive to do his bidding, and as long as we do, she lives.

**Michael Darling**: And then when we're done, he'll free her, *and* us.

**John Darling**: But now -

**Belle**: Now is your best chance. We can defeat Pan, and your sister can finally be set free.

**John Darling**: You think you're the first person who thought they could beat him?

**Belle**: Why? Have you tried?

**John Darling**: Yes, but we failed. It's how our sister ended up his prisoner in the first place.

**Michael Darling**: We tried to be heroes, but it just made things worse.

**John Darling**: And now? Now that we've failed, he'll kill her.

**Belle**: (*about Pandora's Box*) We get this back to Neverland, Pan is gonna have much bigger things to worry about.

**John Darling**: Can you really stop him?

**Belle**: Yeah, I believe we can. And if what you're saying is true, we will save your sister.

**Ariel**: Who is she?

**Michael Darling**: Her name is Wendy. Wendy Darling.

**Wendy Darling**: My name's Wendy.

**Henry Mills**: Wendy Darling? I'm Henry. What's wrong?

**Wendy Darling**: It's the island, Henry. Its power is fading. I've been here a long time, but, well, for some reason it's affecting me more than the others. You look like him.

**Henry Mills**: Like who?

**Wendy Darling**: Your father.

**Henry Mills**: You knew my father?

**Wendy Darling**: We were friends, a long time ago. When he was just a little bit older than you. He saved my brothers from danger. He would do anything for my family.

**Henry Mills**: Are you gonna be okay?

**Wendy Darling**: You should go.

**Henry Mills**: Maybe there's something I can do to help.

**Wendy Darling**: Just... Please, I don't want you to catch what I have. Pan is already doing everything that he can, but the magic here... I fear it is not enough.

**Henry Mills**: There has to be a way.

**Wendy Darling**: Please go. Before you, too, become ill.

**Henry Mills**: I'll come back for you. I promise. (*Henry exits*)

**Peter Pan**: (*enters*) Well done. I couldn't have played the part better myself. Oh, and that bit about dear old dad? Good job.

**Wendy Darling**: I don't like lying to him.

**Peter Pan**: Oh, don't think of it as lying. Think of it as providing motivation.

**Wendy Darling**: Motivation for what?

**Peter Pan**: Doing what needs to be done, for all of us. You see, Henry has the heart of the truest believer, and I need to control that belief.

**Wendy Darling**: What do you need him to believe in?

**Peter Pan**: Me. Now back to your cage.

**Ariel**: (*returning to Neverland*) Sorry I'm late. We ran into a few... complications.

**Rumplestiltskin**: Did you get it? (*Ariel presents Pandora's Box*)

**Regina Mills**: Excellent. You fulfilled your end of the bargain. Now you can have legs whenever you want. Or a fin. Whatever Eric's into these days.

**Ariel**: Thank you.

**Rumplestiltskin**: When you return to Storybrooke, seek him out. The rest is up to you.

**Ariel**: Before I go, Belle wanted me to let you know that Pan has a prisoner on the island. A girl named Wendy. Her brothers are back in Storybrooke. Belle doesn't want to let them down. She wants you to make sure that Wendy is okay.

**Regina Mills**: All that matters is Henry.

**Ariel**: And now you have a chance to save him, thanks to me and Belle, so rescuing that girl is the least that you can do.

**Rumplestiltskin**: We'll do our best. Look, um, when you return, tell Belle I love her. And that she was right. I *will* see her again.

**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.

**Henry Mills**: You said you weren't keeping any secrets, but you lied. I found Wendy.

**Peter Pan**: Henry, I can explain.

**Henry Mills**: She's dying, isn't she?

**Peter Pan**: I'm afraid she is. Like much of the island, because the magic here is slipping away. I would've told you, but I didn't want you to have that weight on your shoulders - knowing that a young girl's life depends on you.

**Henry Mills**: So I'm the only who can save magic?

**Peter Pan**: You are.

**Henry Mills**: How do I do it?

**Peter Pan**: The question isn't how, Henry. It's where. Follow me. See that?

**Henry Mills**: Is that Skull Rock?

**Peter Pan**: Yes. Inside is where our salvation awaits. A salvation that only the heart of the truest believer can bring.

**Henry Mills**: Me?

**Peter Pan**: That's right, Henry. But I won't lie to you. It won't be easy. It will require heroism and sacrifice. The only question is, are you up to the task?

**Henry Mills**: Yes.
