Rumple: When we met, I told you I was a difficult man to love. But more than that, I think I'm a man no one can love. This son, William - I can start over. Maybe he can love me.
Belle: Not like this. Don't give up, Rumple. I never wanted you to be perfect. I just wanted you to try.
Rumple: I did! And look what's happened. I've only ever pushed you away. Now I'm afraid all I really have is this - magic.

Zelena: Why even bother saving me then?
Regina: Because that's what heroes do, Zelena. They save people. Even the people who have hurt them in unimaginable ways.
Zelena: So this is about Robin Hood. You still blame me for his death?
Regina: Yes, that's exactly right.

Belle: I know you want me back Rumple, but its never gonna happen.
Rumple: I know. But I cannot lose another son Belle. I won't. Not if I can stop it.

Belle: Will you be his Fairy Godmother, and will you take him somewhere safe? Somewhere far away from all this.
Emma: Belle, what are you doing?
Belle: Rumple won't ever stop. This is our son's only chance. Please take him. Just, until this is all over.
Blue Fairy: But you don't know when or if that will come to pass.
Belle: I believe it will. I have to believe it will.

I play a very long game and you, you're nothing more than one of my pawns.

Rumple

Losing Robin Hood was the best thing that ever happened to us; it pushed you to liberate me. To free me from the prison of your self-loathing. To make me the best version of us.

Evil Queen

Emma: I'm the Savior, kid.
Henry: You're also my mom.

I wish that Emma Swan's wish to have never been the Savior be granted.

Evil Queen

David: How do you share a home with someone and not know their secrets?
Hook: Because we don't stand around and talk about what happens when a bloody genie appears, mate!

I know you better than anyone, Regina. I am you! And there was a time when all you wanted was to tear Snow and Charming apart and kick Emma Swan out of your town, and I just did both. A toast! To you, to me, to us!

Evil Queen

I may not be able to get a hold of the genie lamp, but you're right - we are the same person, which means you're not the only master of the lamp.

Regina

Show her your inner darkness, and the Savior will be reborn!

Rumple
