2×02 - WE ARE BOTH

-[Storybrooke]-

(Leroy and the rest of the 'dwarves' are gathered by the Storybrooke sign at the edge of the forest. Leroy spray paints an orange line, indicating the border of the town, while he lectures.)

Leroy: This, gentlemen, is our mission. The great barrier of our existence - does it remain? We must investigate the line.

(He pulls out a handful of straws.)

Leroy: I made straws. Short one crosses. Draw.

(The dwarves each pick a straw, one by one.)

Happy: With the curse broken, we can cross, right? It should be no problem.

Walter: With magic back, it could be even worse now.

Doc: Like, vapourize us.

Bashful: Let's go home.

Leroy: Guys! We are the Royal Guard. Towards loyalty to Snow White. This is our chance to prove ourselves to the Prince. We must do this.

(Everyone finishes picking straws.)

Leroy: Show your hands.

(They reveal their straws. Mr. Clark ends up with the short straw.)

Leroy: You're up, snotty.

(Leroy leads Mr. Clark to the border. However, he hesitates to step over it.)

Mr. Clark: You know, what if we found a turtle and sort of nudged it over first?

Leroy: Oh, for the love of...

(Leroy pushes Mr. Clark over the line. The second he crosses, a magical force begins to act on him.)

Leroy: Sneezy, you okay? Sneezy!

(On the main street, a few townspeople are attempting to clear away the damage caused by the wraith. Meanwhile, at August's room at Granny's, August's wooden form is still lying on the bed. He blinks. Outside of the town hall, the citizens of Storybrooke have set up a Crisis Center. Marco is putting up 'missing' posters of Pinocchio.)

Marco: My boy... My poor boy.

(Ruby and Logan appear to be two of the coordinators.)

Ruby: If you are looking for a family member, come to the front table.

Logan: If you need counseling, Dr. Hopper has a signup sheet. If the wraith damaged your house, there are cots at the school.

Mother Superior: This is getting out of hand. People are in a panic. They don't know what to do.

Ruby: It's okay. It'll be fine. We just need everyone to remain calm.

Logan: We have a feeling our Prince is working on something right now.

(David knocks on Regina's door. When she answers, he lets himself in.)

David: Tell me...about this.

(He holds up Jefferson's crushed hat.)

Regina: Surprised you don't have armed guards 'round the clock.

David: Don't need 'em. We both know if you step outside, there's a line a mile long for your head.

Regina: Who's going to risk coming at me?

David: Take your chances, then. But I think that little wallpaper trick? Was an anomaly. If you had your abilities back, this town would be charcoal by now. You're having problems with magic, aren't you? Right now, the only thing keeping you alive? Is that the twins wishes it. Now, this.
