Quotes 

• Regina Mills : I was afraid. I didn't... You said I could let go of the anger that was weighing me down. And suddenly it felt like without it, I would just... float away. That anger was all I had. What would I be without it?

  Tinker Bell : Happy.

  Regina Mills : [shakes her head]  Weak.

  Tinker Bell : And look what good it did you - that "strength" you gained; 'cause I'm holding your heart in my hand, and I'm not hearing *one* reason not to squeeze it into ash.

  Regina Mills : All right, you want a reason? Here you go. You think *I* was afraid? You think *I* did the wrong thing? Well, fairy, right now you're making the same choice. I picked revenge over hope, and you're holding the result - a small, hard, dark heart. If you make the same choice I did, then what you're looking at is your own future.

• Tinker Bell : Did you ever go back and find him? The man with the lion tattoo?

  Regina Mills : No.

  Tinker Bell : Unreal. Do you know how selfish that is?

  Regina Mills : It's a lot of things. But how was it selfish?

  Tinker Bell : Because you didn't just ruin your life. You ruined his.

• Rumplestiltskin : You see, this is how it is: you think you are the diner at the feast, tasting the offerings. A little love, a little dance. What you don't realize is, *you* are the feast. And the darkness has tasted *you*.

  Evil Queen : Oh, you're vile. Leave my home!

  Rumplestiltskin : The darkness likes how you taste, dearie. It doesn't mind the bitter. And now that it's started the meal, it's gonna finish it. You can no more fly from your fate than can that swan.

• Regina Mills : Okay, you wanna kill me? I can make it easier.

  [Regina rips out her own heart] 

  Tinker Bell : What do you-?

  Regina Mills : You wanna kill me? Well don't let the poison do it. You should do it. Go ahead. Crush it!

  Tinker Bell : You think I won't take it?

  Regina Mills : No, I'm counting on it. Show me who you are, Tinker Bell.

  Tinker Bell : Gladly.

• [Tinker Bell is threatening to kill Regina] 

  Regina Mills : How the hell did you get like this?

  Tinker Bell : I met *you*.
