Once Upon a Quote

[bibliophile]

While going over my favorite Once moments I was struck by how many great quotes this show has put out over the years. So I guess this thread is a place to post (daily if you’d like) your favorite Once quotes.

Here’s a favorite Emma quote:
Mr. Gold: What do you know about him? (August)

Emma: He’s a writer, goes by August, a typewriter wrapped in an enigma wrapped in stubble.

If you mean Adam/Eddie saying they ‘sleep well and drink our tears’…then yes of course! All quote from or about Once should be fair game.

Granny to Ruby: I’m sorry that my heart attack interfered with your plans to sleep your way down the Eastern seaboard.

Regina: I need a child, Gold, and I need your help.
Gold: Well, I’m flattered but uninterested.

Rumpelstiltskin: This curse isn’t going to be easy. Vengeance never is, dearie. You have to ask yourself a simple question: How far are you willing to go?
Queen: As far as it takes.
Rumpelstiltskin: Then please stop wastin’ everyone’s time and just do it. You know what ya love. Now go kill it.

Rumpelstiltskin: LOVE the dress.
Cora: Well, brides have to be snow white.
Rumpelstiltskin: When you see the future, there is irony everywhere.

(In the Enchanted Forest, Rumpelstiltskin holds up a vial of the bottled ‘true love’.)
Rumpelstiltskin: Behold. The most powerful magic of all…
Prince Charming: True love.
Rumpelstiltskin: Ah! Careful. This is all I have left of it.
Prince Charming: What do you know of true love?
Rumpelstiltskin: Well, not so much as you, perhaps, but not so little as you might think.
Prince Charming: You? You loved someone?
Rumpelstiltskin: It was a brief flicker of light amidst an ocean of darkness.
Prince Charming: What happened?
Rumpelstiltskin: She died. That’s the thing about true love, dearie. It can slip through your fingers. It’s the most powerful magic in the world. The only magic powerful enough to break any curse. It must be protected at all costs.
Prince Charming: I don’t understand. What exactly is it you want me to do?
Rumpelstiltskin: I want you to help me protect it by putting it in a safe place for me. (Rumpelstiltskin produces an egg shaped container, which he puts the vial in.)
Prince Charming: And where is that?
Rumpelstiltskin: Inside the belly of a beast, of course. (Rumpelstiltskin shuts the egg container and tosses it to Prince Charming.)
Prince Charming: Why hide it?
Rumpelstiltskin: Let’s just say, I’m saving it for a rainy day.

(Emma and Regina enter Mr. Gold’s Pawn Shop.)
Mr. Gold: Do my eyes deceive me, or is that the look of a believer?
Emma: We need your help.
Mr. Gold: Indeed, you do. It seems quite the tragic ailment has befallen our young friend. I told you, magic comes with a price.
Regina: Henry shouldn’t have to pay it.
Mr. Gold: No, you should, but alas, we are where we are.
Emma: Can you help us?
Mr. Gold: Of course. True love, Miss Swan… The only magic powerful enough to transcend realms and break any curse. Luckily for you, I happen to have bottled some.
Regina: You did?
Mr. Gold: Oh, yes. From strands of your parents’ hair, I made the most powerful potion in all the realm. So powerful, that when I created the dark curse, I placed a single drop on the parchment. Just a little safety valve.
Emma: That’s why I’m the savior. That’s why I can break the curse.
Mr. Gold: Now you’re getting it.
Emma: I don’t care about breaking the curse. All I care about is saving Henry.
Mr. Gold: Which is why it’s your lucky day. I didn’t use all the potion. I saved some… for a rainy day.
Emma: Well, it’s storming like a *****. Where is it?

Ruby to Whale: You’re Frankenstein. And I’m the Werewolf. I ate my boyfriend. Regina thought she was punishing us by erasing who were, but I think she underestimated how much crap we wanted to forget.

Emma: Is it possible for someone to have the darkness, but use it for good, use it to protect people?
Merlin: Emma, don’t let those thoughts tempt you.
Emma: But is it true?
Merlin: Someday perhaps there will be a person who’s worthy to hold that much power and not let it burn through to darken their soul. But if we can wipe out the darkness, we’ll never have to ask that much of anyone. (cough RUMPLE cough)
