Quotes 

• Mary Margaret Blanchard : So you don't want people to rely on you, but you took your son. Now, that sounds like a stable home for him. What the hell is wrong with you?

  Emma Swan : I want what's best for him.

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : And running is what's best for him? Or is that what's best for you? You're reverting, Emma, into the person you were before you got here; and I thought you'd changed.

  Emma Swan : You thought wrong.

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : Well, regardless, you have to do what's right for Henry now.

  Emma Swan : What's that?

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : Oh, I don't know. *You're* his mother. That's *your* job, so *you* figure it out.

  [spoken like a mother to her daughter] 

• Emma Swan : I don't wanna be sheriff. I don't want people relying on me. I don't want this, any of it.

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : What about Henry?

  Emma Swan : I took him with me.

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : [clarifying]  You abducted him?

  Emma Swan : Maybe.

• [Emma has decided to leave Henry in Regina's custody for his own safety] 

  Henry Mills : No! No, you can't trust her!

  Emma Swan : I have to. It's my only choice. It's what's best for you, Henry. Every time I fight her, someone else gets hurt.

  Henry Mills : No, no, no! You're just scared. This happens to all heroes. It's just the low moment before you fight back.

  Emma Swan : Henry! This isn't a story! This is reality. And things have to change. You can't skip school; you can't run away and... you can't believe in curses.

  Henry Mills : You really don't believe?
