Quotes 

• Emma Swan : You've clearly glommed onto my kid Henry's thing. They're just stories! The Mad Hatter is in Alice in Wonderland, a book - a book I actually read.

  Jefferson : Stories. Stories! What's a story? When you were in high school, d'you learn about the Civil War?

  Emma Swan : Yeah, of course.

  Jefferson : How? D'you read about it, perchance, in a book? How's that any less real than any other book?

  Emma Swan : History books are based on history.

  Jefferson : And storybooks are based on what? Imagination. Where does that come from? It has to come from somewhere.

• Emma Swan : This is it. This is the real world.

  Jefferson : *A* real world. How arrogant are you to think yours is the only one? There are infinite more. You have to open your mind. They touch one another, pressing up in a long line of lands, each just as real as the last. All have their own rules. Some have magic, some don't. And some need magic. Like this one. And that's where you come in.

• Jefferson : Now, make a hat and get it to work.

  Emma Swan : I don't...

  Jefferson : You have magic. You can do it.

• Jefferson : I'm not crazy. This is real.

  Emma Swan : Maybe. Maybe it is.

  Jefferson : You believe?

  Emma Swan : If what you say is true... that woman in the other room... is my mother. And I want to believe that more than anything in the world. So maybe you're right. Maybe I need to open myself up more. Maybe if I want magic... I have to start believing.

• Jefferson : For the last 28 years, I've been stuck in this house, day after day, always the same, until one night, you, in your little yellow bug, roll into town, and the clock ticks and things start to change. You see I know what you refuse to acknowledge, Emma. You're special. You brought something precious to Storybrooke... magic.

  Emma Swan : You're insane.

  Jefferson : Because I speak the truth?

  Emma Swan : Because you're talking about magic.

  Jefferson : I'm talking about what I've seen. Perhaps you're the one that's mad.

  Emma Swan : Really?

  Jefferson : What's crazier than seeing and not believing? Because that's exactly what you've been doing since you got to our little Hamlet.
