• Mr. Gold : Two people with a common goal can accomplish many things. Two people with a common enemy... can accomplish even more.

• Baelfire : If the law says I'm to fight, I... I can fight.

  Rumplestiltskin : No, no, the... the law doesn't want you to fight, son, the law wants you to die. That's not battle, that's... that's a sacrifice, son. You look at that red in the sky. That's not the fires of the battlefields. That's the blood of our people, son. It's the blood of children - the blood of children like you.

• Rumplestiltskin : What choice do I have?

  Old Beggar : Everyone has a choice.

  Rumplestiltskin : I'm the town coward. The only choice I have... is which corner to hide in.

• [Regina enters Mr. Gold's pawnshop] 

  Mr. Gold : Regina. Shall I move some things, make a bit of space for your rage?

• Mr. Gold : I like small weapons, you see. The needle; the pen; the fine point of a deal.

• Hordor : Who are you?

  Rumplestiltskin : Have you forgotten me already? What was it you used to call me again? 'Spindleshanks'?

  [then remembers] 

  Rumplestiltskin : 'Hobblefoot'.

  Baelfire : [incredulous]  Papa?

  Hordor : [terrified]  Rumplestiltskin.

  Rumplestiltskin : Wonderful. And now you shall know me... as the new Dark One. How about a little fealty? Kiss - my - boot!

• Mr. Gold : That's the thing about children. Before you know it... you lose them.

• Baelfire : It feels wrong to run away.

  Rumplestiltskin : It's worse to die, son.

• Hordor : It's treason to avoid service. Take the boy now.

  Rumplestiltskin : No, no, no! No. What do you want?

  Hordor : What do I want? You have no money; no influence, no land, no title, no power. The truth is, all you really have is fealty. Kiss my boot.
