–[Storybrooke]–
(Emma and David are sitting in Emma's office at the station. She hands him a mug of tea.)
David: Thank you. I hope Kathryn's somewhere warm, not out in the cold.
Emma: David. I think you need to start worrying about yourself a little bit more here. Your wife is missing. You are in love with another woman. There's this... Unexplained phone call.
David: I know, I know. I just... I can't explain why it says that. I didn't do anything to my wife.
Emma: I'm pretty good at spotting a liar. And, honestly, liars have better material. Now, go home.
David: I can go?
Emma: We don't even know if there was a crime yet. So, get some sleep.
David: Thank you.
(David stands up to leave.)
Emma: And, David? Maybe... Get a lawyer.

(At Granny's Diner, Ruby is flirting with August, who is sitting at one of the tables. Logan is watching in jealousy.)
Ruby: You can't be serious. A whole year without a roof over your head?
August: Well, you get used to it. Plus, I had the motorcycle. So, if I didn't like a place after a while...
(Granny calls for Ruby, but Ruby ignores her.)
Granny: Ruby?
Ruby: I've never even been out of Storybrooke. What was your favorite place?
August: Nepal. Best people. They have these prayer temples carved into mountains that are overrun with lemurs.
Ruby: What's a lemur?
Granny: Ruby!
Ruby: Just give me a sec!
August: They're little animals. And they have these eyes that reflect light. So, at night, it looks like they glow.
(Granny, again, calls Ruby over to the counter.)
Granny: Ruby! Stop flirting and get over here!
–[Fairy Tale Land – Past]–
(Peter knocks on the shutter of Red and Granny's cottage. Red, imitating the voice of an old woman, calls out from inside.)
Red: Who's there?
Peter: Let me in.
Red: I'm just a poor, old widow. Spare me!
Peter: Let me in, or I'll...
Red: Yes?
Peter: I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow the-
(Red opens the shutters.)
Red: You'll huff and puff?
Peter: I couldn't think of anything.
Red: Oh, so you thought that you'd level the house with the power of your breath? Well, a case could be made...
Peter: Oh, ho ho-
Red: Shh! Granny's in the other room. You know she doesn't like me opening the shutters.
Peter: No, she doesn't like me.
Red: That's what I meant.
Peter: You got to get out of here.
