- Belle Gold: When we were in Camelot, Merlin said that perhaps one day someone would be able to wield the power of the Dark One Dagger for good. Show me that you can be that man. Show me, and... and we can save our child, and we can turn the darkness into light.
- Mr. Gold: Well, that's the thing with dark and light. Depends on your point of view.
- Mr. Gold: Revenge is such a tricky business. I find it rarely ends well, unless, of course, you're me.
- Gaston: Why do you defend Rumplestiltskin? He kidnapped you. He made you a servant. You should want him dead, too.
- Belle: Yeah, well, I don't.
- Gaston: Why not?
- Belle: He's my husband.
- [Gaston looks shocked... but quickly recovers and starts to chuckle]
- Gaston: Good old Belle. You always did have a soft spot for a monster.
- Belle Gold: So, you killed Gaston, my fiancé, and never thought to tell me?
- Mr. Gold: It was an arranged marriage. I was doing you a favor.
- Hades: Now, this is just depressing. Look where Gaston the great hunter ended up, and all because of a woman. Not that I'm one to judge, believe me. I've had my own share of girl trouble lately.
