Quotes 

• Belle French : There's something I need to tell you. When I translated the prophecy all those years ago, I realized that the sun that needed to set at the Edge of Realms, it wasn't the one in the sky. It was mine. "When the Dark One finds eternal love at the sun's brightest set." It means that you have to believe our love is powerful enough to outlast death. Only then will you find the path that will lead you back to me.

  Rumpelstiltskin : How could you keep that from me?

  Belle French : I knew you wouldn't accept it. You would have spent all our lives searching for another answer. And... I wanted to live our lives. And we did. And now, it... it's time to let me go.

  Rumpelstiltskin : Belle, I can't. I'm afraid.

  Belle French : Let me tell you a story, then. Once upon a time, there was a beast who took a girl prisoner. But he fell in love with her. And then he let her go. That is when the girl realized that she loved him, too.

  Rumpelstiltskin : He thought he would never see her again.

  Belle French : But in the end, she came back to him. More than a few times.

  Rumpelstiltskin : I remember that story.

  Belle French : See? You let me go once before, and... we found our way back to each other. You're a good man, Rumple. Your heart is pure. You will find the answer you need to get rid of the dagger, and you will find your way back to me again. I promise.

• Belle French : Regina and Zelena got balloons. Uh... Emma and Hook, cake. Oh, Snow and David are bringing bubble wands. I don't know. I guess baby Neal is obsessed with them.

  Rumpelstiltskin : Belle.

  Belle French : Yes?

  Rumpelstiltskin : Relax. It's a children's birthday party. As long as everyone turns up and Gideon ends up with birthday cake all over his face, it's a success.

• Rumpelstiltskin : Belle, I've been alive for many, many years. And of all those years, the last ten have been the happiest I can ever imagine.

  Belle French : Well, we're only just beginning.

  Rumpelstiltskin : I know. But there's only one way I want to live this life from now on: as a mortal.

  Belle French : What are you saying?

  Rumpelstiltskin : I have a confession. This isn't just another stop on our, uh, adventure.

  [taking the Dark One's dagger out] 

  Rumpelstiltskin : This dagger has been a burden to me for too long. I've been a slave to its power, and now, all I can hope is that this river can grant me my one and only wish: to live a singular, natural life with you.

• Rumpelstiltskin : What's this?

  Belle French : A gift. I, uh, I think I've found the answer we've been searching for; how we can get rid of the dagger. Or, at least, a guide to that answer. Okay, this scroll describes a fairy prophecy about the Dark One. And... and it says "When the Dark One finds eternal love at the sun's brightest set where time stops, the path will appear to where the darkness shall rest."

  Rumpelstiltskin : I know where this is. It's called the Edge of Realms.

  Belle French : Well, then that's where we'll go.

• Rumpelstiltskin : The Edge of Realms. Where time stops and the sun sets brightest in all the lands.

  Belle French : And when it does, we will finally have our answer to getting rid of the dagger.

  Rumpelstiltskin : You know, Belle, we are on the outermost ridges of existence here. The normal rules of time and space do not apply. An eternity here could be like the blink of an eye back home. It could be years before the sun finally sets.

  Belle French : So then we'll wait.

  Rumpelstiltskin : Are you sure?

  Belle French : What better place to build our home than on an eternal summer day?
