TEXT: -[Real World]- (At Mary Margaret's apartment, August installs a deadbolt on the front door. Emma and Mary Margaret watch.) August: No one... Is getting through that. Emma: Wow. When are you installing the torture chamber? August: You don't like it? I call it Medieval Chic. MMB: I don't care what it looks like, as long as it keeps Regina and her skeleton keys out. Emma: This is pretty handy for a writer. Where'd you learn how to do all this? August: Wood shop. Eighth grade. MMB: Oh, speaking of school, have to get going. Emma; Um, are you sure you're ready to go back? MMB: After a stint behind bars, how tough can a room full of fourth graders be? Besides, aren't you the one we need to be worried about? Emma: Me? Why? August: Well... You did threaten to take Henry away from Regina. Emma: Oh, that wasn't a threat. I'm hiring Mr. Gold to help build a case against her. She tried to frame you for murder. MMB: But, you do know what happens if you win? Emma: Yeah. MMB: And you're ready? To be his mom? Emma: Yeah. (Henry's voice comes through the walkie talkie.) Henry: Code red. Code red. (Emma picks it up and responds.) Emma: Hey, Henry. What's going on? Henry: Meet me at Granny's. It's an Operation Cobra emergency. Emma: I'm on my way. (Emma leaves and starts walking down the main street towards Granny's Diner. August follows her.) August: Emma, wait up. Emma: You heard the kid - Operation Cobra calls. August: I didn't think you believed any of that. Emma: Oh, I don't. But, sometimes, it's the only way to get through to Henry. August: You know, a custody battle against Regina isn't going to accomplish anything. You need to look at the big picture. That's the only way you're going
