- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: Well, according to the spell, this should show us where the coin was the day your father died.
- David Nolan: Okay, it says, "turn counterclockwise". Do you think they mean the beaker, or do we have to turn?
- Rumplestiltskin: Do your boys like bedtime stories? All right, here's one. Once upon a time, there was a king named George. He had great riches, but no son. And then there was a farmer named Robert poor as dirt yet he had two sons. Can you guess how this story ends?
- Ruth: Get out! Our sons are not for sale.
- Rumplestiltskin: Then, they won't survive the winter, dearie. Look, you can either have one healthy son or two dead ones.
- Regina Mills: You're up.
- Robin of Locksley: Hard to sleep when that demon box keeps screaming at me.
- Regina Mills: Oh. That's called an alarm clock.
- Robert: Family... is... everything.
- David Nolan: [stunned] Why are you here?
- Robert: You have forgotten your father.
- David Nolan: You were barely my father. You were a drunk who died when I was six years old! I owe you nothing!
- Robert: You don't truly believe that.
- David Nolan: [holds up an old coin] Is this... Is this why you're here? Huh? I've spent my whole life trying to forget you. Tell me what you want!
- Robert: The truth.
- David Nolan: Today you saved me from making a terrible mistake, and I... I don't know if I'm gonna be able to pay you back.
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: As luck would have it, I might have an idea. There's one way for you not to lose your family, and that's to let it grow.
- [he clears his throat]
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: David, may I have your blessing to ask for Emma's hand in marriage?
- [long and tense pause, then David smiles]
- David Nolan: Of course. Of course you have my blessing.
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: Well, now, that is a relief.
- David Nolan: Well, I mean, it's up to Emma, of course, but yes, you have my blessing.
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: Thank you.
- David Nolan: I didn't realize you were so old-fashioned.
- Captain Killian 'Hook' Jones: Well, I am over 200 years old, mate.
