Quotes 

• Roni : Whole bar's half off till midnight.

  Henry Mills : Midnight, huh? Then what? Place turns into a pumpkin?

  Roni : [Chuckles]  More like a juice bar, or whatever the bitch who bought us out drinks.

• Roni : You don't exactly look like you're having a banner day either.

  Henry Mills : Been interesting, that's for sure.

  Roni : What gives?

  Henry Mills : Imagine if I walked through that door and told you that I was your son.

  Roni : That would be a kicker.

• [last lines] 

  Victoria Belfrey : You'll regret this, Roni.

  Roni : Uh, doubtful. Regret's not really my thing.

• [first lines] 

  Regina Mills : Henry, are you sure about this? I was hoping after high school, you'd think about college.

  Henry Mills : I know. But college isn't going anywhere. I just... I need to do this. Operation Cobra is over. We did it. We have our happy endings.

  Regina Mills : So then why leave?

  Henry Mills : Because I'm still the Author. I've been writing everyone else's stories. I need to figure out what my story is. And... it's not here.

• Roni : Your step-daughter - she inspired me.

  Victoria Belfrey : By running away?

  Roni : By not giving in to you. You're so used to pushing people around. I think it's time you felt what it's like when someone pushes back.

  Victoria Belfrey : You can't win.

  Roni : Maybe. Maybe not. Today, I watched you march into my bar, acting like you own the place. And you know what? I didn't like it. Then I realized, if I sign this piece of paper, you *will* own this place, and that I *really* don't like. This is *my* bar. It's my home. It's my life. Sure, it's seen better days, but that doesn't mean it won't have better days again. And just because life isn't what you want it to be right now, doesn't mean you should tear it down. I started thinking about... all the things I want to do and have... that I'm not doing or having. -... - And now everyone in this neighborhood seems to have given up imagining what a better life might look like. But if we can admit to ourselves what we want is out there somewhere, then maybe we can fight for it. And if we do that, then we're halfway to getting it. That's the thing about the people of this town. Things can seem hopeless. When suddenly, someone gives the rest of us inspiration. Because the first step to a new beginning is imagining that one is even possible. And I'll be damned if I stand by and let a bully like you take that away from us anymore.
