Once upon a time [Season 3, Episode 17]

— Don't worry, my dear. You'll soon be back in my loving arms.
— You do realize you're talking to a boat?
— You have your love. I have mine.

Rumple was a bully. He didn't suffer fools, and he certainly didn't coddle his students. And if he tried to teach you how to swim and you couldn't learn, you drowned.

Perhaps a little good news around here will be contagious.

— Word on the waterways is Captain Hook had gone soft.
— The only thing soft will be your guts spilling on this deck.

Any valuable information a pirate captain ascertains shall be compensated in equal favor.

He's prone to violence, impulsive, and has a hook for a hand. What about him would a 12-year-old boy not like?

— You let a man die for your ship?! What kind of person does that?
— The kind who's empty, who believes that a ship can fill a void left by a broken heart.

I've seen enemy battle plans that were easier to decode than this.

— Being good Is nothing to be ashamed of. People change. Look at me. I have legs, and I fell in love with a human. I don't think anyone saw that coming.
— You may have changed. I haven't. I'm a pirate, and I always will be.
