Note: This is a deleted scene from the Pilot episode of Once Upon A Time, the script below is from the original draft of the Pilot. Emma was orginally named Anna hence why the script refers to her that way. The scene was apparently shot (see the pictures below) but was scrapped. The scene may vary if the scene is ever released via DVD Extras.
EXT. REGINA’S HOUSE – NIGHT
Anna hurries out. Just needing to get the hell out of here. She comes upon the sheriff, leaning up against her car. He smiles at her. Munching on a PIXIE STICK. Offers her one.
SHERIFF
Pixie stick?
ANNA
I’ll pass.
SHERIFF
Yes, I know. Terrible habit. It’s amazing my teeth haven’t rotted through. I’m Graham, by the way.
ANNA
Anna. So what part of England you from, Graham?
SHERIFF
Actually, I was born and raised here. Picked the accent up from my parents. Gives me some authority, don’t you think?
ANNA
Absolutely. Well, I’ve got a long drive ahead of me. So if you could find somewhere else to lean…
Anna moves to her car, but he remains leaning on it.
GRAHAM
I think it might be better if you spent the night.
ANNA
Kinda forward of you.
He smiles, mischievous.
GRAHAM
I know Regina’s drinks. I’d hate to get out the breathalyzer. There’s a B and B on the town square. They have rooms available. I called ahead.(thinks)I guess I am forward.
Anna shakes her head. Clearly not having a CHOICE.
ANNA
Let me grab my bag.
Graham grins, steps aside. As Anna pulls out her gym bag –

ANNA
Well he used one… let’s see if I
can get a transaction record…
(taps the keys, then –)
Who’s Mary Margaret Blanchard?
Regina’s face tightens. She KNOWS and doesn’t like her.
REGINA
Henry’s teacher.
Her the tone says it all — Regina doesn’t like this woman.
REGINA
Thank you for the help, Ms. Swan.
But I’ve got it from here.
And that’s when GRAHAM shocks them both, nods at Anna –
GRAHAM
Anna should go.
ANNA
What?
REGINA
What?
GRAHAM
This falls under pounding the
pavement. My area.
(to Regina)
If Mary Margaret helped him find
her…
(nods at Anna)
Then she’s the only way to get him
to stop running
