Quotes 

• Emma Swan : Was it you?

  Mr. Gold : Was what me?

  Emma Swan : Did you make Kathryn suddenly materialize? 'Cause it sure played that way to me. Was that the "magic" you were going to work? Because if you kidnapped that poor, innocent woman just to let her go...

  Mr. Gold : Are you proposing I'm working with Regina, or against her?

  Emma Swan : I don't know, maybe... diagonally.

• Baelfire : You've stains on your boots.

  Rumplestiltskin : Oh, yes, that. Uuhh... We need a new maid.

  Baelfire : Gods, no!

  Rumplestiltskin : She heard us talking about the knife.

  Baelfire : She was mute! She couldn't tell anyone.

  Rumplestiltskin : Even mutes can draw a picture.

• Mr. Gold : [about his lost son]  I think he might still be very angry.

  Archie Hopper : Anger between a parent and a child is the most natural thing in the world.

  Mr. Gold : I think he might be here to try to kill me.

  Archie Hopper : Ah... Right, that's... that's not.

• Rumplestiltskin : [after losing Bae]  I will do nothing else. I will love nothing else! I will find a way. You took my son. But I will get him back.

• Regina Mills : You created the curse for me, the curse that brought us here and built all this.

  Mr. Gold : Yes, about time you said thank you.

  Regina Mills : Why did you do it?

  Mr. Gold : Well, you're a smart woman, Your Majesty. Figure it out!

• Mr. Gold : If you know who I am, then you know who I am.

• Regina Mills : You broke our deal.

  Mr. Gold : I broke one deal in my life, dear, and it certainly wasn't this one.

  Regina Mills : Kathryn was supposed to die and Mary Margaret was to get the blame!

  Mr. Gold : Yeah, murder seems so much worse here, though, doesn't it? You can't just turn someone into a snail and then step on them, can you?

• Baelfire : Papa... if I find a way for you to get rid of the power, a way that doesn't kill you or hurt me, would you do it?

  Rumplestiltskin : It's not possible.

  Baelfire : If it was, would you do it? Don't you miss how it was?

  Rumplestiltskin : Are you really that unhappy, Bae? I can conjure anything you desire. Name it. What do you want?

  Baelfire : I want my father.
