Quotes 

• Henry Mills : Okay, fine. You know what? I'll play along. Say my book is real. Where are all the real heroes, then? Where is Snow? Where is Charming? Where is Emma? W-Where are these heroes to save the day? Doesn't everybody always find each other?

  Roni : You can't find someone if you don't know they're missing.

• Henry Mills : Don't you get it? No one wants to believe that this is real more than I do. Because if this is real, that means that the pain that I carry around every single day doesn't exist. But it is still right there. So, no, I am not your boy wonder. I am just a sad grown man who couldn't even save his own family.

  Roni : Henry, I get it. I had thought it was just the curse, but your pain is real. Because the day we were cursed, you couldn't save your family. You were kidnapped, and you're still blaming yourself for it. But the difference between what you believe and what I believe is that I know you can still save us. Because we're right here. We've always been with you. I just need you to remember that.

• [Henry has still not bought into the curse theory] 

  Roni : But a part of you wanted to believe. Or else what's all this?

  [she gestures to the corkboards of research in the room] 

  Henry Mills : Nick was a psychopath. And I admit it, I went deep down into the rabbit hole. But I was wrong.

  Roni : You're rationalizing away your belief - like an adult.

  Henry Mills : I *am* an adult.

• Lucy Vidrio : You could believe. You just don't want to!

  Henry Mills : It doesn't work that way, okay? You may not understand it now, but you will when you're older.

  Lucy Vidrio : I wish you could remember what it was like to be a kid, to, to believe. I wish you never grew up!

• [Henry calls his younger self just as the latter gets ready for his graduation party] 

  Henry Mills : Uh, I just called to congratulate you.

  Young Henry Mills : Oh. Well... thanks.

  Henry Mills : So, um... what's next?

  Young Henry Mills : To be honest...

  Henry Mills : You're having doubts.

  Young Henry Mills : I told my mom it was because I didn't want to lie about who I am. But, um... it's hard... letting go of this place.

  Henry Mills : Believe me, I know. Um, can I give you a piece of advice? Advice someone gave me a long time ago at my graduation?

  Young Henry Mills : Sure.

  Henry Mills : Home isn't a place. It's the people in it. And they will always be with you.

  Young Henry Mills : Who'd you say this was again?

  Henry Mills : Just someone who believes in you.

• Lucy Vidrio : Henry... what's going on?

  Henry Mills : [recognizing her, he picks her up and hugs her]  Not "Henry", Lucy. Dad.

• Henry Mills : [cradling the unconscious Regina]  Mom! Hold on, mom. I got you. I got you. It's okay. It's okay. I'm with you. I got you. Mom? Mom. I'm sorry it took me so long, but I'm here. I remember. I finally remember everything. Please come back to me, mom. Come back. I love you.

• Henry Mills : Sorry it took me so long to get here.

  Regina Mills : Oh, Henry. I'm just glad to have you back.

  [conjurs a fireball] 

  Regina Mills : And my magic.

• Henry Mills : You were right. I did stop believing in myself. I guess I got a little dinged up along the way, and I couldn't recognize who I was anymore.

  Regina Mills : I know. Scratches are a part of life.

  Henry Mills : I remember that now. I remember everything you taught me.

• Roni : So, uh... what's with the bags?

  Henry Mills : Oh. I'm taking Jacinda and Lucy to Bainbridge Island this weekend. Jacinda kinda has a thing for that place.

  Roni : Oh. So the rumors are true.

  Henry Mills : Yeah, Jacinda and I are definitely, officially... some sort of thing.
