Quotes 

• Mary Margaret Blanchard : How do you do it?

  Mr. Gold : Do what?

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : Live with yourself, knowing all the bad things you've done.

  Mr. Gold : Well, you tell yourself you did the right thing. And if you say it often enough, one day you might actually believe it.

• Mr. Gold : Cora was dangerous because she didn't have a heart. Regina's even more dangerous because she does.

• Regina Mills : I'm not happy.

  Mr. Gold : I believe Dr. Hopper's office is down the street.

• [Storybrooke, present day] 

  Mr. Gold : Why don't you just give up this obsession with vengeance? You know it can never make you happy.

  Regina Mills : Yes, it will.

  Mr. Gold : You had a whole curse worth of vengeance, and what did it get you? A gaping hole in your heart.

  Regina Mills : That was your curse.

  Mr. Gold : Which you cast. Still haven't learned your lesson, have you?

  Regina Mills : What lesson?

  Mr. Gold : The same one your mother learned a long time ago. You can't have everything. She wanted power, ripped out her own heart to get it. You want vengeance? Henry's the price you'll pay.

• Mr. Gold : Regina. She's planning to strike back - against your mother.

  Henry Mills : What is she gonna do to her?

  Mr. Gold : Oh, she didn't say.

  David Nolan : No. You don't get to come in here and just drop a bomb like that. You're gonna figure this out. And you're gonna help us.

  Mr. Gold : And why should I? D

  David Nolan : Because aside from us being family now, Mary Margaret saved your life. Now you owe her a debt. And you always pay your debts, don't you?

• Regina Mills : I was supposed to be happy here.

  Mr. Gold : Forgive me, but, um, you're the Mayor. You're the most powerful woman in the town. What is there to be unhappy about?

  Regina Mills : Everyone in this town does exactly what I want them to!

  Mr. Gold : [Smiles]  And that's a problem?

  Regina Mills : Well, they do it because they have to, not because they want to. It's not real.

• Mr. Gold : It's the curse of the empty-hearted.

  Emma Swan : What the hell does that do?

  Mr. Gold : In theory, it has the power to make someone love you.

  Emma Swan : Doesn't that break magic laws? You can't bring back to life, you can't force someone to love you.

  Mr. Gold : This particular spell can make someone think they love you. And if you're as desperate for love as Regina appears to be, you just might believe it.
