Quotes 

• Emma Swan : Who's Milah, on the tattoo?

  Hook : Someone from long ago.

  Emma Swan : Where is she?

  Hook : She's gone.

  Emma Swan : [understands]  Gold... Rumplestiltskin. He took more than your hand from you, didn't he? That's why you want to kill him.

  Hook : For someone who's never been in love, you're quite perceptive, aren't you?

  Emma Swan : Maybe I was, once.

• Hook : Have you ever even been in love?

  Emma Swan : No. I have never been in love.

• Emma Swan : Don't think I'm taking my eyes off you for a second.

  Hook : I would despair if you did.

• Hook : You're something of an open book.

  Emma Swan : Am I?

  Hook : Quite. Let's see. You volunteered to come up here because you were the most motivated. You need to get back to a child.

  Emma Swan : That's not perception, that's eavesdropping.

  Hook : Ah, but you don't want to abandon him the way you were abandoned.

  Emma Swan : Was I?

  Hook : Like I said. Open book.

  Emma Swan : How would you know that?

  Hook : I spent many years in Neverland, home of the lost boys. They all share the same look in their eyes - the look you get when you've been left alone.

  Emma Swan : Yeah, well, my world ain't Neverland.

  Hook : But an orphan's an orphan.

• Emma Swan : There was a guy named Jack and a cow and something about evil giants with a treasure and a golden goose. Or harp.

  Hook : Sounds like a lovely tale. But the truth's a little bit more gruesome.

• Neal Cassady : Go. We got lucky.

  Emma : "We"? - This isn't your car either, is it?

  Neal Cassady : Huh?

  Emma : I stole a stolen car?

  Neal Cassady : [grins]  Now, how about that drink?

• [four women are arguing about who should partner up with Hook to get the compass] 

  Mulan : All due respect, I'm the best-equipped to go. How many wars have you been through?

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : My share...

  Princess Aurora : It should be me.

  Mulan : You? You haven't fought in a battle.

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : This is about us getting home to *our* loved ones. Why would you...?

  Princess Aurora : I have no loved ones. If I fail, you can still go on.

  Emma Swan : It's me. I'm going, and I'm not gonna fail.

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : You're new here.

  Emma Swan : It's about getting back to Henry. I don't care what I have to face. - You're not gonna argue with me?

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : Would it do any good?

  Emma Swan : No.

• [while driving the stolen car, Emma gets pulled over by a police officer] 

  Portland Cop : Licence and registration.

  Emma : [sweet apologetic smile]  Hi.

  Neal Cassady : Terribly sorry, officer, but th-this is actually my car. I'm-I'm trying to, uh... teach my girlfriend how to drive stick.

  Portland Cop : She's got a lot to learn.

  Neal Cassady : I know. But, you know... Women.

• Neal Cassady : We've been on the road long enough. Maybe it's time we retire the Bonnie and Clyde act. So, then, I think, I think it's time.

  Emma : Together?

  Neal Cassady : Don't you wanna?

  Emma : Like where, Neverland?

  Neal Cassady : I'm serious. We could do this.

  Emma : Where?

  [Neal grabs a framed map of the USA] 

  Neal Cassady : Where? I'll tell you where. Close your eyes... and point. Whatever spot you pick, that's our home.

  [Emma does as told] 

  Emma : Tallahassee.

  Neal Cassady : We got a winner.

• Mary Margaret Blanchard : You OK?

  Emma Swan : Two earthquakes and a jump from a beanstalk. I think my brain's still rattling around a little.

• Emma Swan : You have a compass. I need it.

  The Giant : You're gonna kill me either way. Go ahead. Kill me.

  Emma Swan : You don't know me.

  The Giant : I know your kind. They massacred us and destroyed our beans.

  Emma Swan : I heard it the other way.

  The Giant : It's because the victors get to tell the story.

• Emma Swan : What's this? Is this a bean? Can this make a portal?

  The Giant : Not anymore. It was destroyed, like the rest of 'em. I wear it as a reminder - a reminder that you're all killers.

  [Emma threatens the giant once more with the deadly sword] 

  Emma Swan : You're wrong.

  [and leaves] 

• Emma Swan : Oh, damnit.

  [when seeing the giant] 

• Emma Swan : Let's go steal a compass.

• Neal Cassady : Tallahassee, baby. We're almost home.

  [he leaves] 

  Emma : Home...

  [she smiles] 

• Emma Swan : I am not having drinks with you. You might be a pervert.

  Neal Cassady : I might be a pervert, but you're definitely a car thief.

  Emma Swan : I said I was sorry.

  Neal Cassady : You didn't, actually.

• Emma Swan : Your sword; how strong is it?

  Mulan : The most powerful blade in all the realms.

  Emma Swan : Is it strong enough to cut through that beanstalk?

  Mulan : Indeed.

  Emma Swan : Give me ten hours. If I'm not back, you cut it down and keep going.

  Mulan : Snow won't like that.

  Emma Swan : That's why I'm asking you.
