Rumpy: What's happening? All my gold spray paint is flecking off.
Belle: Kiss me again. It's working! Any curse can be broken.
Rumpy flies into a rage and demands to know who told Belle about the curse. Belle only stammers out, "She," before Rumpy puts it together. He marches over to one of his mirrors, and uncovers it. Ah, he wasn't mirror averse because of his awful skin and wretched teeth. He just didn't want Queenie all up in his business. Personally, Rumpy, I'd have removed all the mirrors from my house. You never know what she might overhear. I'm just saying.
Rumpy: Excuse me, I have to yell at the mirror now, and really freak out my belov ... housekeeper, but we all know I'm yelling at Regina. Do you think you can make me weak? Do you think you can defeat me?
Belle: Who are you talking to?
Rumpy: The queen.
Recapper: ...
Jack Bauer: Belle, WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?
Belle: Um...true love?
Rumpy: Shut up. Just shut up. NO ONE COULD EVER, EVER LOVE ME.
Recapper: Okay, Robert Carlyle, in that one line, just sold me on Rumpy also being the Beast. I didn't expect to feel this way.
Belle: You're telling me.
Rumpy: I'm throwing you back in the dungeon now.
Belle: Damn.
Back in Storybrooke, Gold removes the duct tape from French's mouth, so he can both interrogate him about his missing possession, and shove his cane down French's mouth. (Not a euphemism.)
Gold: Frenchy, you're going to tell me two things. Where's my not-at-all-secret item? And who told you to take it?
French: I try to explain myself.
Gold: And that's not what I asked you to do, so I beat you with my cane.
French: It wasn't my fault.
Gold: You shut her out. You had her love, and you shut her out! She's gone. She's gone forever. She's not coming back. It's your fault, not mine. YOU are her FATHER! It's yours. It's yours.
French: What's he talking about?
Henry: Actually, there's this Fairy Tale book, right...
Recapper: Honey, you're not in this scene.
Henry: But I haven't been in any scenes yet. I'm calling my agent.
Back in the Enchanted Forest, Rumpy smashes the hell out of his china cabinet.
And in Storybrooke, he is still beating French and yelling about fault when Emma shows up.
Emma: Stop.
In the Enchanted Forest, Gold proceeds to throw nearly his entire tea service across the room.
Chip Potts: But then he gets to me and is swayed by my cuteness. Thank heavens! I mean it's been a big loss for our family, but at least I've still got Mom. Oh wait, that's just Auntie Sugar Bowl. MOMMY?!!!!!!!
