Once Upon a Time2011

August W. Booth:
You ever been to Phuket? It's beautiful. Amazing island. Full of pleasures, the perfect place to lose oneself. That's where I was, when you decided to stay in Storybrooke.

Emma Swan:
How do you know when I decided to stay in Storybrooke?

August W. Booth:
Because at 8:15 in the morning, I woke up with a shooting pain in my leg. That's 8:15 at night in Storybrooke. Sound familiar? That's when time there started to move forward again. I was supposed to be there for you, and I wasn't. Because I was halfway around the world, I got a painful reminder just how far I'd strayed. If that tree won't make you believe, maybe this will.

[August pulls up his pant leg; he sees a wooden leg, but Emma just sees a normal leg]

Emma Swan:
How does that prove anything?

August W. Booth:
Look.

Emma Swan:
August, I'm looking.

August W. Booth:
You don't see it, do you?

Emma Swan:
See what?

August W. Booth:
Your denial is more powerful than I thought. It's preventing you from seeing truth.

Emma Swan:
Okay, one of us is losing it here. And it's not me.
