## Quotes

**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.

**Zelena**: (*reveals huge baby bump*) Well, don't just stare! Help me!

**Robin Hood**: How has this happened? You're only two months pregnant!

**Zelena**: Well, how do you *think*? Dark magic!

**Regina Mills**: *Whose* dark magic?

**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.

**Victor Frankenstein**: Someone scream for a doctor?

**Zelena**: There is an angry baby inside of me. Get it out!

**Victor Frankenstein**: You know, the last time I delivered a baby, you tried to steal it. But why try to steal one when making one is so much more fun, right? (*introducing himself*) Dr. Whale.

**Regina Mills**: We really need another doctor in this town. And what's with the dye job?

**Victor Frankenstein**: Oh, so, so Emma changes her hair and no one makes a fuss, but *I* get ridiculed? Come on. You know you like it.

**Zelena**: Oh my God, stop talking! Didn't I kill you the last time I was here?

**Emma Swan**: (*about Darkness as Rumplestiltskin*) He said I can't light it because I'm not ready to let go of the darkness.

**Regina Mills**: Are you?

**Emma Swan**: Regina.

**Regina Mills**: Hey. No one knows the lure of darkness better than I do. You can lie to your parents, you can lie to yourself... But you can't lie to *me*.

**Emma Swan**: I don't know.

**Regina Mills**: Feels good, doesn't it? Indulging every impulse, wielding great power; doing whatever you want.

**Emma Swan**: Yes. Yes, it does. Is that wrong?

**Regina Mills**: Of course it is. But it's also human. Look, I know you, Emma. It took a long time, but I really *know* you. And you're not as weak as I once was, so if you're clinging to the darkness, you have good reason, and it's beyond temptation, so what is it?

**Emma Swan**: I don't know.

**Regina Mills**: There's a difference between not knowing something and not wanting to admit it. Those walls you put up, Emma, it's time they come down. (*grabs Dark One Dagger*)

**Emma Swan**: What are you doing?

**Regina Mills**: Helping you break the walls! As your friend, I command you, Dark One, tell me, why are you so afraid to give up the darkness?

**Emma Swan**: Once I let it go, I won't be able to protect my family.

**Regina Mills**: That's another wall, Emma. Now... the truth.

**Emma Swan**: It is. Regina, please.

**Regina Mills**: No, it's not. You just have to be brave enough to knock down all those walls you're hiding behind. The dagger can make you look, but you, *you* have to choose to see. Now come on. Come on, Emma. See! Tell me what you're really afraid of!

(*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.

**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 Swan**: (*Hook has been wounded by Excalibur*) I'm not gonna let him die when I know there's a way to save him.

**Regina Mills**: Emma... Merlin said it. There's nothing you can do.

**Emma Swan**: That's what he said, but it's not true, is it? (*to Merlin*) You told me how powerful I am. Let's use that power. I can use the Promethean Flame to release you from Excalibur, and then I can use it to tether Hook's life to it instead. It could save him.

**Merlin**: Emma, you know what that could do.

**Regina Mills**: Create another Dark One.

**Merlin**: It will multiply the darkness so that it cannot be destroyed. Not without you paying the steepest of prices. It will be your final step into the dark.

**Emma Swan**: I don't care what happens to me.

**Prince Charming**: Emma, wait.

**Snow White**: Please. Listen, you can't.

**Regina Mills**: Emma, your parents are right.

**Emma Swan**: If you could've saved Daniel, or Robin... Look how far you were willing to go, how far you pushed me to save him! I'm not gonna lose Killian. I won't let anyone stop me.

(*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*)

(*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.
