2×13 - Tiny

–[Storybrooke]–

(Mr. Gold knocks on the door to Mary Margaret's apartment. Emma answers.)

Mr. Gold: Ready to go, Miss Swan?

Emma: Almost.

(Mr. Gold enters the apartment, and the twins enter the room with a suitcase and their coat.)

Henry: Do you think we'll be cold where we're going, or warm?

Emma: I think layers are always a good idea.

Mr. Gold: I thought the terms of our agreement were quite clear. You owe me a favor – you alone.

Emma: I'm not leaving Henry and Izzy here with Cora lurking about, so either we both go, or we both stay.

Mr. Gold: Then, we'll have to purchase two more plane tickets, won't we?

(Mary Margaret enters and helps Henry and Izzy put on their jacket.)

Emma: Wait. We're flying?

Mr. Gold: Don't worry, I'm covering expenses. Even the new ones.

(David overhears the conversation as he comes down the stairs.)

David: You're a real gentleman, aren't you? Alright, Gold, you're going out there with my family. Just know, if anything happens to them...

Mr. Gold: Then you'll what? Cross the town line? And David Nolan will hunt me down in his animal rescue van?

David: I'll be devastated. This isn't a threat. It's a request. Take care of them.

Mr. Gold: I promise no harm will come to your family. After all, we have a deal.

(Mr. Gold, equipped with the shawl around his neck, is driving. Emma is in the passenger seat, and the twins are in the back seat. They are heading down a deserted road in Mr. Gold's car.)

Izzy: So... Where are we going?

Mr. Gold: Logan International Airport.

Emma: I think she meant after that.

Mr. Gold: Let's just take things one step at a time, shall we?

Emma: You really think that shawl and doll's going to work?

Mr. Gold: Well, if they don't, and I revert to my cursed self, we're all going to have some problems. It'll work.

(They pass the 'leaving Storybrooke' sign and a wave of magic passes over Mr. Gold. There is a brief pause.)

Emma: So?

Mr. Gold: My name is Rumpelstiltskin. And we're going to find my kids.

(At Mary Margaret's apartment, Mary Margaret and Logan are in the kitchen when David enters wearing two gun holsters.)

MMB: You like the holster, huh?

David: I miss carrying a sword.

Logan: Same.

MMB: Well, it looks good on you.

David: Come on. Leroy has the dwarves on Cora watch. They've got eyes everywhere, but they could use our help.

Logan: Really? How hard can it be to find a powerful sorceress in a small town?

(They go to leave. When they open the door, they find Regina, who was just preparing to knock.)

David: Apparently, not very hard.
