Quotes 

• Emma Swan : I want to show him that good can actually win.

  Mary Margaret Blanchard : That's why you want to win it for him, but why do you want to win the election for yourself?

  Emma Swan : That is why. I want to show him that a hero can win. And if I'm not... if I'm not a hero and I'm not the savior, then what part do I have in his life?

• Regina Mills : The town charter clearly states, "The mayor shall appoint..."

  Emma Swan : A candidate. You can appoint a candidate. It calls for an election.

  Regina Mills : The term 'candidate' is applied loosely.

  Emma Swan : No, it's not. It requires a vote. And guess what, Madam Mayor, I'm running.

  Regina Mills : Fine. So is Sidney.

• Henry Mills : I was born in jail?

  Emma Swan : ...Yes. These records were supposed to be sealed. Tell me you're not scarred for life.

  Henry Mills : I'm not. Well, not by this.

• Emma Swan : Graham picked me to be deputy.

  Regina Mills : He was wrong.

  Emma Swan : No, he knew what he was doing. He freed this office from your leash. You're not getting it back.
