- David Nolan: So, Rumplestiltskin is Henry's grandfather?
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: Apparently.
- David Nolan: But *I'm* his grandfather.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: You can have more than one.
- David Nolan: So, his... step-grandmother is Regina, the Evil Queen?
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: Actually, his step-great-grandmother. And she's also his adoptive mother.
- David Nolan: [sighs] It's a good thing we don't have Thanksgiving in our land, 'cause that dinner would suck.
- [last lines]
- Seer: You will be reunited with your son. And it will come in a most unexpected way.
- Rumplestiltskin: [as the Dark One] How?
- Seer: A boy... a young boy will lead you to him. But beware, Rumplestiltskin, for that boy is more than he appears. He will lead you to what you seek; but there will be a price. The boy... will be your undoing.
- Rumplestiltskin: [as the Dark One] Then I'll just have to kill him.
- Neal Cassady: [to Emma] You know, there's not a ton about my father that I remember that doesn't suck. But he used to tell me that there are no coincidences. Everything that happens, happens by design, and there's nothing we can do about it; forces greater than us conspire to make it happen. Fate, destiny, whatever you wanna called it, the point is... maybe we met for a reason. Maybe something good came from us being together.
- Henry Mills: So... you're my dad.
- Neal Cassady: Yeah.
- Henry Mills: I'm Henry.
- Neal Cassady: It's nice to meet you, Henry. Sorry I took so long.
- Henry Mills: Why are you so nervous? When I found my mom, I was excited.
- Mr. Gold: Because I have the benefit of a little more... life experience. I know that things don't always happen... the way we want them to.
- Henry Mills: Sure, but... in the book, it says that you could see the future. Why can't you just look and see what's gonna happen?
- Mr. Gold: Well, that ability is... complicated. I didn't always have it. And then, when I did... well... it's maybe not the gift one would expect. Seeing the inevitable... can be a terrible price.
- Henry Mills: But you wouldn't have to worry about stuff. You'd just know.
- Mr. Gold: But that's the great trap. The future... is like a puzzle, with missing pieces - difficult to read, and never, never what you think.
- Emma Swan: Doesn't matter now. I'm over it. And you.
- Neal Cassady: Why do you wear the, uh... key chain I got you?
- [Emma stops short to think this over, then pulls the chain off and hands it back to Neal]
- Emma Swan: To remind myself never to trust someone again.
- Neal Cassady: You have no idea what I've lived with. You're so worried about you. You know what I've dealt with? Every night, for more years than you could know, the last thing I see before I sleep is the image of you, you and me, over that pit, your hand... wrapped around mine. And then you open your grip. And as I fall away, all I can see is your face. Choosing all... this... crap over me. Letting me go. Now it's my turn. Now I'm lettin' you go.
- Henry Mills: You know, I forgave her. Emma. For giving me up. She thought it was the best for me then; that's why she did it. I'm sure your son'll forgive you, too.
- Mr. Gold: Alas, the circumstances surrounding our separation weren't quite so noble.
- Henry Mills: But... you're here now. And you want him back, right?
- Mr. Gold: More than anything.
- Henry Mills: Then that's all that matters.
- Rumplestiltskin: I left the front to be with you. You and... Baelfire.
- Milah: You left because you were afraid! You became what everyone thought you were, a coward, just like your father!
- Rumplestiltskin: I'm nothing like my father. He tried to abandon me! I will never, ever do that to my son! That's why I did this. For him. A-all for the boy. To save him from the same fate I suffered, growing up without a father.
- Milah: You sentence him to a fate much worse. Growing up as your son.
- Rumplestiltskin: What... but what... what else could I do?
- Milah: You could have fought, Rumple. You could have died!
- Rumplestiltskin: Oh, it's all right, Bae. It's all right. Your Papa is here. And I promise... I will never... ever leave you.
- Young Seer: [to Rumplestiltskin] There is no escaping it. You will have a son, and your actions *will* leave him fatherless.
- Henry Mills: [Looking at the apartment directory] No Baelfire.
- Emma Swan: Yeah, that probably wouldn't fly as an alias.
- [to Gold]
- Emma Swan: Your magic globe didn't give you an apartment number?
- Seer: I've been expecting you.
- Rumplestiltskin: Then you know exactly why I came here.
- Seer: What I foretold during the ogres war has finally come to pass.
- Rumplestiltskin: Well, in a manner of speaking. I, uh, hobbled myself on the battlefield, was branded a coward. My wife ran away and left me. Then my son was called to the front. Oh! Then I became The Dark One; *then* Bae left me. So, yes, my actions on the battlefield left my son fatherless. But it would've been nice to know about all that pesky detail.
- [Emma rings a doorbell]
- Emma Swan: UPS package for 407.
- [the connection on the other end is cut]
- Henry Mills: Maybe you should've said 'FedEx'.
- [in the Enchanted Forest, Rumplestiltskin aka the Dark One is trying to take over the seer's ability]
- Rumplestiltskin: [as the Dark One] I can't... see... anything. It's too much. It's nothing but a jumble.
- Seer: The future is a puzzle, with many pieces to be sorted. In time you will learn to separate what can be from what will be.
- Rumplestiltskin: Speak of what you know of my wife.
- Young Seer: She's already with child.
- Rumplestiltskin: I'm to be a father?
- Young Seer: Your wife will bear you a son, but your actions on the battlefield tomorrow will leave him fatherless.
- Rumplestiltskin: I'm gonna die? No, no, no. You you must tell me how I can stop that happening.
- Young Seer: You can't.
- Rumplestiltskin: Then I'm done helping you.
- Young Seer: For now. Someday you'll help me again.
- David Nolan: After finding out Rumplestiltskin is Henry's grandfather: Good thing that we don't have Thanksgiving in our land, cause that meal would Suck.
