— It will get better.
— Yes. Yes, it will. This will take all of my feelings. All of my pain. And destroy them.
— No.
— Why? You of all people should understand. You've lost love. What if your pain could be erased?
— I don't want my pain erased. As wretched as it is, I need my pain. It makes me who I am. It makes me Grumpy.
— What's going on is I still have feelings for you.
— What?
— Why do you think I go to Granny's every morning at 7:15? It's to see you. And I don't know why. Because it just makes me miserable, because every time I see you, it just reminds me that you chose Kathryn instead of me. And that's why I didn't want you to come to the woods with me. Because being around you is too... It's too painful.
— You think this is funny?
— No! No, it's just... The reason I go to Granny's every morning at 7:15 is to see you.

— I need a cure.
— What ails you, child?
— A broken heart.
— Ah! The most painful of afflictions.
But there are consequences to following through when the world tells you not to.
— No matter what the circumstances, for 28 years, I only knew one thing... that my parents sent me away.
— We did that to give you your best chance.
— You did it for everyone because that's who you are... leaders, heroes, princes and princesses, and that's great and... and amazing and... wonderful, but it doesn't change the fact that for my entire life I've been alone.
— But if we hadn't sent you away, you would have been cursed, too.
— But we would've been together. Which curse is worse?
I mean, maybe you're doing something wrong, but if it's what's meant to be, if it's what's right, does that really make you a bad person?
