- [Emma is introducing Killian into the art of sword fighting]
- Killian Jones: You're telling me that... in this other reality, I'm an expert with such a weapon?
- Emma Swan: You're a regular Jack Sparrow.
- Killian Jones: Is that good?
- David Nolan: [to Hook, after reality has been restored] I didn't mean to kill you. Though, to be fair, I didn't have a heart.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: So it's my fault? What I think he means to say is... We are sorry.
- Hook: Uh, you don't need to be sorry. Although I intend to hold it over your heads for a very long time.
- Killian Jones: Tell me more about this reality you want to return to. Us, for example. I sense that we, uh... we may be close?
- Emma Swan: Very.
- Killian Jones: [sheepishly] Really? Well, I'm starting to get jealous of the other me.
- [Henry, who is covered with a potato sack, is lead by Killian into the prison tower]
- Killian Jones: [to the guard] I'm here on official business for the Queen, delivering a dangerous prisoner from the kingdom of Kashyyyk.
- [the guard removes the sack from Henry, who grabs Killian's sword and knocks the guard out with it]
- Killian Jones: Well done, lad.
- Henry Mills: The Wookiee prisoner gag. It always works.
- Killian Jones: The what?
- Henry Mills: Never mind
- The Apprentice: The best way to show your love for those that are gone is to tell their stories. Now, this book, these stories... can never be erased, because, they are more than stories. They are the truth. And the truth is what you must write.
- Henry Mills: You won't hurt me. You're supposed to be a hero here.
- Rumplestiltskin: And that's exactly why I must do this... To ensure I remain one.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: I need to know. Years ago, you set us on a path to hurt Maleficent and her daughter.
- David Nolan: Why'd you want to hurt us so badly?
- Isaac Heller: The truth, Charming? It's not you, but who you represent. You remind me of a boss that I once had.
- David Nolan: One bad boss started all this?
- Isaac Heller: A lifetime of bad bosses. Of people like you who fancy themselves heroes pushing around people like me. It was *my* turn to win. To be the hero.
- Mary Margaret Blanchard: But you became a villain. 'cause that's what villains do. They make themselves happy at the expense of others. But it just makes them more unhappy. I know what it is to feel your heart go dark. And that... that isn't something to idolize. It's something to pity.
- The Apprentice: I hope that you can resist the temptation of the quill. The power to change reality is only outweighed by the cost.
- [Henry takes the quill in both hands and snaps it in two]
- Henry Mills: No one should have that much power.
- The Apprentice: [smiles shrewdly] It would seem that this time, we have found the right person for the job.
