"But, this almost cost me the most important thing in my life: you. It wasn't worth almost losing you. I Can never feel that pain and loss again."
"Belle, you always had me. I was angry and scared and overreacted. But I'm yours as long as you want me," Adam said.

Rapunzel smiled. "I don't care what kind of life we have, just as long I'm with you."
Eugene laughed. "Well, that's good because we're married now and you're kinda stuck with me."
Rapunzel let out an excited squeal. "Yeah, and there's no one else I'd rather be stuck with."

"You know, Meg, I think I heard about a Cyclops terrorizing a village not far from Belle's castle," Hercules said. "Maybe we should go check it out and if there happens to be a ball going on at the same time, maybe we could stop by."
