Quotes 

• Belle : Who are you? What... what do you want from me?

  William Smee : I'm just a man who procures hard to find objects. In this case, the object was you.

• Belle : Be honest with me. Why did you bring magic here?

  Mr. Gold : I've told you. Magic is power.

  Belle : Why do you need it? Tell me.

  [Gold doesn't answer] 

  Belle : [sighs]  You don't need power, Rumple. You need courage, to let me in.

• [Gold has just saved Belle from being sent across the town line] 

  Belle : Thank you for what you just did. But that doesn't change that you're too cowardly to be honest with me.

  Mr. Gold : But Belle, I...

  Moe French : I tried to tell him that, Belle. Come with me, darling.

  Belle : After what you just tried to do to me? You're no better, Father. You don't get to decide what I do or how I feel; I do. If either of you cared about me, you would've listened. I don't wanna see either of you again. Ever.

• Mr. Gold : I came because... you're right... about me. I am a coward. I have been my entire life. I tried to make up for it by collecting power; and the power became so important that I couldn't let go. Not even... when that meant losing the most important person in my life.

  Belle : Your son.

  Mr. Gold : Baelfire... is his name. After he left, I dedicated myself to finding him. I went down many, many paths, until I found a curse that could take me to the land where he'd escaped.

  Belle : Here.

  Mr. Gold : And I found myself in this little town, with only one thing left to do: wait for the curse to be broken, so that I could leave, and find him.

  Belle : But instead of looking for him, you... you brought magic.

  Mr. Gold : Because I'm still a coward. Magic has become a crutch, that I can't walk without. And even if I could, I now know I can never leave this place.
