Quotes 

• Lacey : [after seeing Mr. Gold beat up a man]  You are... you are not who I thought you were. And I'm glad. You really are as dark as people say.

  Mr. Gold : Darker, dearie. Much darker.

• [Regina is surprised to hear that Mr. Gold is Henry's grandfather] 

  Mr. Gold : Trust me, dearie, it was as much a shock to me as it is to you.

  Regina Mills : No. You must have known. When I adopted him, it was you who procured him for me. You expect me to believe that that was a coincidence?

  Mr. Gold : No, not coincidence. Fate. Apparently, fate has a sense of humor.

• Belle : You really are as dark as people say.

  Rumplestiltskin : No, darker, dearie. Much darker.

• Regina Mills : The real question is what's your son doing with mine?

  Mr. Gold : Oh that... That's right, you didn't get the birth announcement, did you? That's Henry's father.

  Regina Mills : What?

  Mr. Gold : Do I have to spell it out for you? Miss Swan and my son-...

  Regina Mills : *You're* Henry's grandfather?

  Mr. Gold : Guess that makes us family. He's got my eyes, don't you think?

• Regina Mills : So, you're playing the part of the loving grandpa now? They won't accept you, no matter what you do. Not your son, not any of them.

  Mr. Gold : We'll see.

  Regina Mills : I've already seen, Gold. I've seen your dark heart and it always wins out. You always choose darkness.

  Mr. Gold : You think you know me, dearie. But you don't.

  Regina Mills : I know you well enough. If your own son couldn't bring out the good in you, who will?

• [Rumplestiltskin keeps torturing Robin Hood] 

  Belle : All this because he tried to steal a magic wand?

  Rumplestiltskin : No, because he tried to steal from *me*, the Dark One. You try that, you get skinned alive. Everyone knows that.

  Belle : Actually - no, they don't.

  Rumplestiltskin : Well, they will after they discover the body.

• [Mr. Gold tries to find a way to bring back Belle's memories] 

  Regina Mills : Finding a way isn't the problem, dear. We both know what is.

  Mr. Gold : Yeah, true love's kiss.

  Regina Mills : And I don't think our new resident feels the same way about you as you do her.

  Mr. Gold : Then I'll make her!

  Regina Mills : Well, there's the charm that should easily woo a lovely young lady. She'll most certainly fall in love with you at first sight. Oh, wait, that didn't happen, did it?

  Mr. Gold : She will, or I promise you, there will be suffering.

  Regina Mills : Finally something we both can agree on.

• Mr. Gold : Regina. She, uh, helped jog Belle's memory.

  David Nolan : That's good, then.

  Mr. Gold : No, no. Wrong memories. She now thinks she's a scantily clad barfly named Lacey. She has a false life, as you did under the curse with Kathryn, only hers apparently involves a lot more alcohol.

• Belle : You know, I am not going to stand by and watch you kill a man.

  Rumplestiltskin : Well, you're welcome to sit if you like.

• Mr. Gold : Someone I care for has gone missing. Only thing she left behind was a matchbook to this vile joint.

  Bartender : Vile? Really?

  [pause] 

  Bartender : Yeah, okay... We could clean it up some.

• [Mr. Gold has managed to ask Lacey out on a date] 

  David Nolan : Not bad, Don Juan.

  Mr. Gold : Don Juan was nothing before he made his deal with me.
