    Let me know if someone has already started this thread somewhere, but especially after the most recent episode in which we got a lot of callbacks to early episodes, I thought it would be neat to keep track of all the lines and phrases that get repeated both within and across episodes.

    A couple to get started:
    Regina: “Love is weakness, Malificent. I thought you knew that” (1×02)
    Cora: “Love is weakness, Regina” (1×18)

    Or for a Storybrooke/FTL comparison
    Regina: “I’ve always believed that evil isn’t born, it’s made.” (1×16)
    Rumpelstiltskin: “Evil isn’t born dearie, it’s made.” (1×16)

    There are definitely a lot more out there, let’s see what we can come up with.

    Pilot
    Snow (crouched over her presumed dead true love): Why did you do this?
    Regina: Because this is my happy ending!

    The Stable Boy
    Regina (crouched over her dead true love): Mother, why have you done this?

    That’s a good one. It definitely seems that Regina likes to repeat herself/other people.
    A couple more:
    Pilot:
    Regina to Snow and Charming: “I shall destroy your happiness if it is the last thing I do”
    Regina to Emma: “Because if you don’t, I will destroy you if it is the last thing I do.”

    The Thing You Love Most:
    Regina: “Don’t underestimate me, Miss Swan. You have no idea what I’m capable of.”
    Emma: “Because, sister, you have no idea what I’m capable of.”

    I didn’t recall that Emma actually says sister! She had already met Leroy, though. Funny.

    Haha, that was my thought exactly. I think that anybody calling someone “sister” is going to make me think of Leroy now.
    Speaking of…
    Dreamy:
    Astrid: “You know, someone once told me, you can do anything as long as you can dream it.”
    Dreamy: “I believe you can do anything you want, as long as you can dream it.”

    Pilot:

    Archie: Henry, what did I tell you about lying? Giving in to one’s dark side never accomplishes anything.
    Jiminy Cricket to Charming: Fighting is a bad idea. Giving in to one’s dark side never accomplishes anything.

    Rumpelstiltskin: Love is the most powerful magic (Heart of Darkness)
    Regina to young Snow: Love, true love is magic and not just any magic but the most powerful magic of all. (The Stable Boy)

    A couple more from another Stable Boy rewatch:
    Leopold (to Snow): Who like you, truly was the fairest in all the land” (1×11)
    Snow (to Regina): “Wow, you are most certainly the fairest of them all” (1×18)

    And a more subtle one:
    Emma: “We got her” (1×18)
    Regina: “We got her, Daniel. We got her.” (1×18)

    Rumpelstiltskin also said that to Snow White the first time he met her in 7:15 am.

    _______________________________________________________________________________
