Quotes 

• Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones : Sounds like this Rumplestiltskin is even more dangerous than the last, if he got the better of you.

  Weaver : Ah, his victory is temporary. My revenge won't be.

  Regina Mills : *Our* revenge. You're not the only one he hurt today.

  Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones : To revenge, then. A companion we all know far too well.

• Mr. Gold : Can we get to the solution you promised? Because all I see is a cave where booze goes to perish.

• Mr. Gold : You see, you made a miscalculation bringing me here. It did remind me of my weakness, but not because of that hammer. Because of you. You see, without Belle, you are just a pathetic beast who needs to be put out of his misery.

• Henry Mills : What happened? Where are my family? What did you do to them?

  Rumpelstiltskin : Well, I sent them back to my home. In the Wish Realm.

• Mr. Gold : I've been trying to rid myself of my copy of the dagger for quite some time now. And every time I try to do it the right way, by giving it to someone pure, it's always a burden. A corrupting force. And foisting that onto an innocent? Well, that can never be right.

  Rumpelstiltskin : Indeed. That is a sticky wicket.

  Mr. Gold : But you - you *want* the darkness. Giving it to you, I'm not spreading it, I'm not burdening anyone. I think the real loophole I've been looking for all this time... is you.

  Rumpelstiltskin : So... you want to make a deal and give me the dagger now. What could possibly have changed?

  Mr. Gold : Well, I finally realized, the one enemy I can never defeat... is myself.

• [in exchange for Henry's family, Rumplestiltskin has asked Henry to get him Mr. Gold's dagger] 

  Henry Mills : What makes you think I can get it? That I would get it?

  Rumpelstiltskin : I think we both know the answer to that, dearie. You're motivated. I prey on desperate souls, remember? And right now, with your family gone, that soul... is you.

• Mr. Gold : [looking around his old home]  We really do hate this place.

  Rumpelstiltskin : Bane of our existence, dearie. And yet, after everything we've been through to escape it, all you want to do is give up our power and drag us right back. Might as well hobble both our legs this time.
