Xena: "Take it easy."
Gabrielle: "What's happened to him?"
Xena: "Someone cut out his tongue. He's a monk from the Xiao Monastery in Chin."

Gabrielle: "I hope that message was important enough to die for."
Xena: "Someone thought it was important enough to kill for ... ‘the Hawk and the Dove must be made one with the Wisdom'."
Gabrielle: "Who wrote that?"
Xena: "Lao Ma."

Gabrielle: "Lao Ma? Your old teacher? Xena, she's been dead for years." Xena: "That's right." Gabrielle: "What does it mean?" Xena: "‘The Hawk and Dove,' don't know. But, ‘the Wisdom' must mean her book. And whatever it means, somebody didn't want us to find out."

Joxer: "Why can't we just get this at a book store?"
Xena: "I left it in the safest place I knew -- the Xiao Monastery. Lao Ma's power is in its pages."
Gabrielle: "You had the power once, didn't you?"
Xena: "Yes, but I let it slip through my fingers like sand. This time I'm going to keep it."

Gabrielle: "It's not a very warm reception." Xena: "The villagers must have retreated to the monastery." Joxer: "Wow! Check out the size of that pothole." Gabrielle: "What weapon could have caused this?" Xena: "I don't know."

Gabrielle: "Whatever it is, it sure packs a mean punch."
Joxer: "What did anybody do to deserve this?"
Xena: "Nothing. Whoever did this wasn't after the village, they were after Lao Ma's book."

Gabrielle: "The Xiao Monastery?"
Xena: "That's right. Come on, we don't have much time. Let's go."

Xena: "Thanks for your help. My name's ..." Pao Su: "... Xena. You're my mother's friend." Xena: "Your mother?" Pao Su: "I'm the daughter of Lao Ma."
