Wishlist

I want a girl because I want to bring her up
so that she shan't make the mistakes I've made.
When I look back upon the girl I was I hate myself.
But I never had a chance.
I'm going to bring up my daughter so that she's free
and can stand on her own feet.
I´m not going to bring a child into the world,
and love her, and bring her up,
just so that some man may want to sleep with her so much
that he's willing to provide her with board and lodging for the rest of her life.

Choices (2)

Belle: You could have had happiness if you could just believe
that someone would want you, but you coudn't take the chance.
Rumpelstiltskin: That's a lie.
Belle: You're a coward, and no matter how thick you make your skin,
that doesn't change.
Rumpelstiltskin: I'm not a coward, dearie. It's quite simple, really:
my power means more to me than you.
Belle: No, it doesn't. You just don't think I can love you.
Now you've made your choice, and you're going to regret it forever.
All you'll have is an empty heart and a chipped cup.
