David Nolan / Prince Charming

True love isn't easy, but it must be fought for, because once you find it, it can never be replaced.

— Not bad, don Juan.
— Don Juan was nothing before he made his deal with me.

— What's going on is I still have feelings for you.
— What?
— Why do you think I go to Granny's every morning at 7:15? It's to see you. And I don't know why. Because it just makes me miserable, because every time I see you, it just reminds me that you chose Kathryn instead of me. And that's why I didn't want you to come to the woods with me. Because being around you is too... It's too painful.
— You think this is funny?
— No! No, it's just... The reason I go to Granny's every morning at 7:15 is to see you.

There's always people in this world who want you to give up. Don't make their jobs any easier.

— There's more to life than just looking for the next fight. You know, you gotta look for the moments.
— Moments.
— Yes. Life is made up of moments... good ones, bad ones, but they're all worth living.

— You know, sometimes I wonder how things would've turned out if I had been the one raised by King George instead of my brother, you know, would I have been corrupt like him?
— Never.
— Same blood ran through our veins.
— But your hearts are different.

— With her? With him?
— No, we don't. We just need to succeed. And the way we do that is by just being who we are... a hero, a villain, a pirate. It doesn't matter which, because we're gonna need all those skills, whether we can stomach them or not.

Henry Mills: — What are you guys still doing in bed? It's the middle of the afternoon.
Mary Margaret: — The trip back was tiring, and I needed to rest.
David Nolan: — And I needed to... Help her rest.
Emma Swan: — Uh, let's-let's go make the tacos. We have to make a lot because there's gonna be a ton of people at Granny's welcome back party tonight.
Mary Margaret: — We thought you were gonna be back later.
Emma Swan: — Yeah, well, we weren't, so maybe next time you could put a tie on the door or send a text or... You know what? I'm... Gonna go make some tacos.
David Nolan: — It's impressive that we can still provide her with a few traumatic childhood memories at this stage of the game.

— Look, uh... can I ask you a question about you and Mary Margaret? How are... how does that work?
— Honesty. That's how we did it. Hard work and being honest with one another.

— The price of this cure was something I didn't want to force on you.
— Love means being together.
— I know. It also means sacrifice. And protecting the person you love.

— What do you know of true love?
— Well, not so much as you, perhaps, but not so little as you might think.
— You? You loved someone?
— It was a brief flicker of light amidst an ocean of darkness.
— What happened?
— She died. That's the thing about true love, dearie, it can slip through your fingers.
