FAVORITE DIALOGUE FROM —– “3×03 “Quite a Common Fairy””

[nonnie]

One of my favorite threads last year was where everyone posted their favorite DIALOGUE from the just viewed episode… So I hope you will play along and post here what were your favorite lines from : “3×03 “Quite a Common Fairy””

[RumplesGirl]

“Roast Swan” (zomg Rumple I love you)

I loved the whole theme of this episode and all the lines that went with it: choose HOPE over REVENGE and ANGER. What a beautiful sentiment.

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"

[nonnie]

Agree with the ROAST SWAN a running gag… I kept visualizing EMMA on a platter … maybe with an apple in her mouth.

Favorite: Regina’s question to Tink in Neverland: “How did you get like this” was a repeat of Emma’s line to Regina way back in the second episode of the first season (“The Thing You Love Most”) I love the fact that we get to see how both “got this way”.

Blue’s line “I no longer believe in you” was also a great reference to the original Peter Pan story.

 

Least favorite: Charming’s mispronunciation of “nuclear” as “nuk-ye-lar”. This is the first time I have ever had a really strong “least favorite” piece of dialog but this is one that always grates on my ears.

Henry saying he doesn’t like apples, “It’s a family thing.”

a little treat before the new episode airs …

Henry: “I don’t like apples”
Peter Pan: “Who doesn’t like apples?”
Henry: “It’s a family thing”
(actually we all should be careful about apples, you know, the thing with the knowledge of good and evil, the forbidden fruit)

Robin Hood (to Neal searching the cupboard): “Uh, not sure you’re gonna find a horse in there, mate.”
Neal: “I don’t need a horse, I need a portal. A way to create a portal.”
(well, maybe a magic horse could do the trick)

Nea: “Look, lots of things make portals… beans, magic mirrors, ruby slippers, some kind of ashes.”
(obviously magic travel was not your best school subject, Neal, some kind of ashes, right…)

Robin: “Merry men come in all sizes.”
(or to be less ambiguous here, in all ages, even though I would very much agree, they should as well come in all sizes)

David: “No, pixie dust. It’s stronger, like nuclear fairy dust”
(I don’t really want to picture nuclear fairy dust, sounds kinda martial).

Rumple: “I thought you were dead.”
Regina: “Go away.”
(they are always so happy to see each other)

Rumple: “Roast Swan. That’s amusing. You’ll get that later.”
(or sooner)

Regina: “I don’t want to have a future that looks like…”
Rumple: Like what?”
Regina: “Like you.”
(finding the right foundation for that kind of sparkly skin would be a pain)

Regina: “I’m practically a prisoner with a husband whose heart is still with his dead wife and his insipid daughter… It’s intorable. I have nothing to do and nowhere to go. I need freedom. I need options.”
(sounds like the wonderful beginning of a good desperate sub-urban housewives soap opera drama)

Rumple: “You think you are the diner at the feast, tasting the offerings. A little love, a little dance. What you don’t realize is, you are the feast. And the darkness has tasted you. (…) The darkness likes how you tast, dearie. It doesn’t mind the bitter. And now that it’s started the meal, it’s gonna finish it. You can no more fly from your fate than can that swan.”
(the writers are speaking…)

Rumple: “And bring that simmering rage. It’s all you have.”
(it’s something)

Regina: “She’s a monster. Totally indulged and adored. She sort of ricochets through life, telling people’s secrets.”
(bit like the average teenage girl in high-school)

Tinkerbell: “You need love”
(All you need is love, love, love, love… Beatles for a change, not the Stones)

Tinkerbell: “I’ve never seen pixie dust fail.”
(so far)

Regina: “My happy ending looks like Snow’s head on a plate.”
(not getting a dance of seven veils before, are we?)

Tinkerbell: “Well, I’m a fairy. You might want to try believing in me.”
(poor Tinkerbell, just can’t make people believe in her)

Emma: “Didn’t we just go through this?”
Regina: “I’m not talking about my magic. I’m talking about our magic.”
Emma: “I am not interested. One thing I learned is, it always comes with a price.”
Regina: “Well, sometimes not using it comes with a price too.”
(going to use that as beginners example for my next subtext reading 101 course. Although Emma clearly says, she is not interested)

Peter Pan: “We have a story here about a man who once shot an apple off his son’s head with an arrow.”
(and that man later killed the one who forced him to do it, just saying. Target pracitce for when Neal will have joined them again?)

Henry: “If you’re shooting at the apple, what’s the poison for?”
Peter Pan: “Motivation not to miss.”
(kids, this is really nothing you should ever try, poison or not, Although might try that with my next apprentice)

Tinkerbell: “Hey, Blue. You look amazing. Did you do something to…”
Blue: “You’re late.”
(lesson: not the way to impress your teacher)

Tinkerbell: “Sounds to me like she’s exactly someone who could use help.”
(being in need of help and being ready for help are not the same)

Blue: “I will be the judge of what is fairylike.”
(claiming the prerogative of the teacher)

Robin: “Oh, so at best, my toddler is bait. At worst something goes wrong, and a demonic shadow carries him through a portal to the nastiest person you ever met.”
Neal: Look, Robin, I have to get there.”
(by all means. Your homework: Name who is the better father and why.)

Robin: “So because I know what it is to value family, I should risk mine?”
(of course, some are just more important than others)

Regina: “Okay. We have a complicated history.”
Emma: “I knew it.”
Regina: “You don’t need to know the details.”
(next good example for excellent material for subtext reading 101. Besides that: indeed we know, dearie, everyone has a complicated history with Regina)

Regina: “My staying out of her sight is probably best for operation Henry.”
(don’t know any invisibility spell?)

Emma: “What the hell did you do to her?”
Regina: “What I always do.”
(wait, what, you did the same to more people? nasty Regina)

Tinkerbell: “Helping you find your happiness, saving you, that’s what’s gonna save me.”
(failing first fairy tale rule: never do anything for yourself)

Tinkerbell: “Well, when you think about it, does anyone really own pixie dust.”
(does anyone own anything considering our lives are vain?)

Regina: “You look terrible”
(guess we all would like to look just as terrible as Tinkerbell)

Emma: “It’s pretty bare. Reminds me of some place.”
(and what place would that be, her own maybe?)
Snow: “You’d think a tree house would be more cheery.”
(you think?)
Emma: “Where I used to live, that’s it.”
(never would have guessed)
Snow: “Because it’s just a place to sleep.”
Emma: “What would you know about that?”
(like mother, like daughter – the two make an incredible team)

Snow: “The real question is, why does she have a ladder? Fairies have wings.”
(to quote the show’s creators: good question, keep watching)

Regina: “I take it by the restraints, you’re not helping.”
(oh, some people like bonds to show love. but guess not Tinkerbell)

Regina: “You’re the one who interfered in my life.”
Tinkerbell: “And threw away my own in the process.”
(they love each other, so much love)

Regina: “How the hell did you get like this?”
Tinkerbell: “I met you.”
(dear Regina, you’re a gift.)

Tinkerbell: “You should be glowing.”
(what is to be expected if coming into touch with nuclear material like pixie dust)

Regina: “You’re a terrible fairy.”
(good fairies stay out of Regina’s life).

Regina: “Fly away, moth.”
(Wrong. Moths normally are attracted to light, not to darkness, so Tinkerbell can’t be a moth.)

Tinkerbell: “Everyone deserves a second chance, we always tell people that.”
(you should have said, deserves another chance. How to negotiate 101)

Blue: “I no longer believe in you.”
(period)

Tinkerbell: “Why couldn’t you just go through that door and meet your soul mate?!”
(a good question. we would have no show otherwise)

Tinkerbell: “Was being happy such a terrible fate.”
Regina: “Yes. Yes it was.”
(happiness is so overrated)

Regina: “That anger was all I had. What would I be without it?”
Tinkerbell: “Happy.”
Regina:”Weak.”
(as simple as that)

Regina: “I picked revenge over hope, and you’re holding the result… a small, hard, dark heart.”
(listen up!)

Regina: “Kill me or act like the fairy you are.”
(sneaky)

Peter Pan:”This place runs on imagination, on belief. But your world stopped believing. Magic is dying, and you, Henry, need to save it.”
(kinda the quintessence of the show)

Peter Pan: “You’re descended from the greatest of light and of dark. What, you think it’s a coincidence that the spawn of The Dark One met your mother? You were created for a reason, and I can help you find it.”
(words of a common enticer, otherwise called brainwashing. The only reason we are created for is to be.)

Neal: “When you love someone, you don’t keep it in. You say it.”
(wise words from an unwise guy)

Roland: “I believe”
(it is so simple at times)

Robin: “If you cared to put your considerable skills to use, there’s a place for you among my merry men. You’d be the first woman. I hope that is no deterrent.”
(Sir, if you cared to lessen the amplitude of your courtly spiel you’d get to the point faster.)

Mulan: “That’s excellent news.”
(in other words: crushing news)

Tinkerbell: “Who the hell are you?”
Emma: “A pissed of mother.”
(don’t ever get between a mother and her love, a fairy should know that)

Tinkerbell (noticing Hook): “Well, look who the Queen dragged in.”
(in short: ROFLSTCIIHO)

Tinkerbell: “Why should I help you.”
Snow: “Because I believe in you.”
(finally someone does)

Felix (to Neal) “Welcome home… Baelfire. Pan will be so happy to see you.”
(you bet!)

Myril … Nice recap… I had not had the chance to re-watch the episode so had forgotten so many of them…will definitely re watch when I get the chance.

Thanks, nonnie!

Had to stop myself to write down here all of the dialogue between Regina and Tinkerbell. Rewatching the episode I enjoyed them even more.
