conversations.value: Labor of Love (Once Upon a Time): The underworld cemetery makes an appearance in the red tinted forest.\nThe Enchanted Forest events take place after "We Are Both" and "The Doctor", and before "Enter the Dragon".\nThe Underworld events take place after "Souls of the Departed".\nIn the early days of the Enchanted Forest, a young Snow White is asked to defend her kingdom by from bandits who are working with the Evil Queen but flees into the forest, believing she cannot help them with her father away.\nAfter she falls into a hunting trap Snow is saved by Hercules, who is on a quest to complete the final part of his Twelve Labors, which is to hunt down Cerberus.\nHe encourages Snow White not to give up, and he even offers to train her for battle, suggesting that she fight the bandits herself.\nWhen Snow faces the bandits, she foolishly drops her arrows, then loses her dignity when Hercules defends her.\nUsing his past mistakes and learning from them, Hercules inspires her to try again, and she successfully aims at the bandits\' weapons, prompting the bandits to leave the kingdom, and setting up her future as the bandit princess.\nSnow White thanks Hercules for helping her and says she will make a great Queen and Olympus will have a great hero like him and they kiss each goodbye.\nDeep inside Hades\' lair, an injured Hook awakens and notices a young woman who is also trapped with him in the chamber.\nAs he struggles to move Hook convinces the young woman to run for help and asks for Emma.\nAs they reach the exit, a three-headed hellhound creature, Cerberus, chases after the two.\nAbove at the cemetery, Mary Margaret and David look at the gravestones of those who Mary Margaret felt she had failed as alluded in the flashback, But David is confident that they can protect Emma and tells Mary Margaret that she can be able to succeed.\nWhen she sees the tombstone of Hercules, David is surprised to learn that she knew the Demi-God, and believes that he has unfinished business with her, which gives them the idea to help him while seeking out Hook.\nRegina and Robin meet up with Emma and Henry.\nRegina tells Robin that she has maps at the Mayor\'s office and Henry and Robin head there but when Regina turns around Emma has took off and calls for her.\nEmma notices fresh blood and traces the direction, but instead they find the young woman and she says she knows Killian.\nAs soon as they hear the roar of Cerberus, Emma uses her magic to take them to the Underworld version of Mary Margaret\'s apartment.\nLater on at Granny\'s Diner, Emma and Regina are joined by Mary Margaret, and thanks to the Blind Witch, they find Hercules, who they hope he will complete his Twelve Labors before he can move on, being Cerberus.\nAt the Mayor\'s office, Henry breaks in to get the maps as Robin stands guard.\nInstead of finding the map, Henry sees Cruella, who explains to him that because he is now the Author, he can bring her back to life, and despite the fact that he broke the Quill, it\'s still alive in the Underworld as it is part of Cruella\'s unfinished business.\nShe tells Henry if he helps her escape the Underworld, it will be as if she never died, and therefore, Emma\'s soul will be pure again.\nUnfortunately when Robin asks Henry if he found the map as they leave the office, Henry lies to Robin that he didn\'t find anything or anyone.\nAs they reached the tunnel with Cerberus waiting for them, Hercules starts to lose his courage in front of Emma, Mary Margaret and Regina.\nHades then appears and tells the women that Cerberus was the creature responsible for killing Hercules (who happens to be Hades\' nephew), then gives Emma Hook\'s bloodied hook as a gift.\nBack at the apartment, Mary Margaret believes its time for Hercules, who regretted fighting Cerberus alone, to fight the creature as a team.\nWhen Cerberus enters the apartment, everyone splits up, leaving Hercules, Mary Margaret, and the woman trapped inside the library.\nHercules suddenly gives the woman his dagger, then grabs a pipe for himself, and Mary Margaret readies her arrows.\nThe trio then use their weapons on Cerberus and successfully kill the creature.\nThe woman faints and Hercules catches her, and when she comes to they introduce each other, as she revealed to Hercules her name is Megara, or as her friends called her, Meg.\nAs everyone meets back at Granny\'s Diner, they learn that it was their "unfinished business" for Hercules to rescue Meg from Cerberus, as he died during his fight with the creature and Meg later died after he failed.\nThe crew takes them to the crossing, and Hercules and Meg ascend together to Olympus.\nAs the clock ticks twice, Hades has decided that it\'s time for the outsiders to pay by punishing them.\nHe arrives to see his prisoner Hook, and tells him that for each soul his friends help escape, one of them will have to stay forever.\nHades forces Hook to decide which of his friends will pay for this by creating new tombstones for him to engrave with a chisel.

  We are looking inside a fancy Center-City Philadelphia restaurant. Adelle and Gerald are seated by an enormous bay window. A waiter comes to their table with their main course. Gerald watches the food being served with great anticipation.
  Gerald's eyes drift out the window to the magazine stand on the sidewalk... He squints to see better. Realization hits hard... His eyes light up. He looks to Adelle and back to the magazine stand.
  In a mad race for time, Gerald begins to devour the food on his plate. The waiter and Adelle watch him in shock. Adelle glances out the window. Her eyes squint... then light up.

conversations.value: Labor of Love
  I worked in a lot of different places but eventually applied for a role at the Australian Services Union as a trainee organiser. I grabbed it with both hands, and found a new home in the union movement, and a new workplace in Fortitude Valley, just near a topless bar that opened at eight in the morning.
  It was at my first Labor party conference, around a year later, that members of my union, the ASU, were speaking of their fears of losing their jobs if the TAB were privatised. They were mostly women, and mostly in their forties and fifties. To a woman, they'd been working at the TAB for a very long time. The government had decided that the state of Queensland had no business as an owner of a gambling firm, and most state conference delegates shared that view. But the women worked hard, meeting with the delegates, putting their case, and explaining their worries about their and their families' futures. It would have been daunting: hundreds of people, formal meeting procedures, state government ministers, and tribes and sub-tribes everywhere.
  It was a gut-wrenching time for the women and for the leadership of my union, including my then boss, Janice Mayes. Janice was formidable: she was the toughest boss I've had, and I learned a lot from her. As a union leader, negotiating pay and conditions for her membership, she was often the only woman in a room. Some referred to her as 'crazy', too, but in her case, unlike Dave's, it wasn't meant at all fondly. (I didn't care for some people's propensity to call powerful women crazy then, and I don't care for it now.)

conversations.value: Anthony Albanese spoke out passionately on marriage equality at a conference some years ago, at which advocates were unsuccessful in getting enough agreement to make the reform. He was certain when he said, publicly, in our conference debate, that even though we had not been successful, Labor's platform would change and we would support marriage equality. His words came true at the next conference.
  Activist and all-round terrific person Sean Leader, a member of Labor's grassroots membership, worked tenaciously to persuade people around Australia to support the change. It was not easy to change Labor's platform; to replace our previous opposition to marriage equality with support. Sean, and other members of Rainbow Labor, took the lead and applied the pressure. Some were parliamentarians, like Penny Sharpe and Louise Pratt, but most were people who weren't in public office but were practising politics alongside, and as part of, their day-to-day lives.
  Since that time, further progress has been made, to the point that in the near future, not only will our party support the policy, but all members of the parliament, regardless of their personal views, will be expected to vote accordingly. Now that the change has been made, it seems incredible that our party ever used the words 'mimic marriage' so cruelly.

conversations.value: Our output also comes from the ways in which we organise and act. Yes, of course, politics can be brutal. That's because it matters so much. The contest of ideas is a contest for the future of the nation. It's best not to be naive but, on the other hand, you can't allow yourself the easy luxury of cynicism either. That just leads to fooling yourself that politics doesn't matter, and that it makes no difference who's in government. If you think that, you'll vacate the field. And if you're not occupying political and public space, other people will. Not necessarily nice people. Not necessarily people with your best interests, or the national interest, at heart.
  Engaging in politics is rewarding. Even in defeat, it's satisfying to stand next to people who have given up their time and worked hard because they believe that a better future won't happen by chance. Being part of something bigger, with its own traditions, stories, ways of doing things and even music, feels good, despite the challenges and the sacrifices. Strengthening our nation's democracy by engaging in it as part of day-to-day life, not just on election day, is worth doing.
  The best members, activists and leaders of the labour movement and the Labor Party have rejected cynicism in favour of passion. They've been great at the arts of politics; great thinkers; and, above all, imperfect, real people inspired by great compassion, and driven by wanting everyone to have a fair go. The future of Labor is people who care enough to turn up.
  That might mean that some negronis are foregone in favour of branch meetings. It might mean knocking on doors instead of lying on the beach. After twenty years in politics, you might wonder whether it was worth it. Especially if you're partial to cocktail-sipping and beach-lying, not to mention if you have kids, responsibilities, pressures, and any of the other demands and joys of real life.
