Purity

Pao Su: "You can't reach them both in time, Xena ... hand over The Book. It's the only way to save your friends."
Xena: "Why do I get the feeling that even if I do give you The Book, you'll drop the torch anyway?"
Pao Su: "Only one way to find out."

Kao Sin: "Our mother would not have wanted blood spilled over her writings."
Xena: "Kao Sin, don't!"
Kao Sin: "Sorry, Xena. Our mother determined our Destiny when she sent you the letter ... ‘The hawk and the dove' ..."
Pao Su: "... ‘must become one with the Way."
Kao Sin: "And so it shall be."
Xena: "Kao Sin, this is not what she meant!"

Pao Su: "Lao Ma's powers would have been wasted on you ... and you, Xena, were right ... I would have dropped the torch anyway."

Joxer: "Xena, you won't believe it! It was incredible -- I was like a bird. I could see the trees -- the ocean --"
Xena: "You weren't high enough to see the tops of my socks, dummy."

We've got to level the playing field
Kao Sin: "Xena, I'm sorry."
Xena: "Pao Su now has the Black Powder Army and access to Lao Ma's wisdom. That makes her the most dangerous person in Chin. Somehow, we've got to level the playing field."


Joxer: "I have tried every combination of spice, and so far nothing ... except for a fabulous Moo Shu sauce."
Xena: "Hey, Joxer, what's this?"
Joxer: "Oh, that -- that's just a meat curative. They pull it up from the ground in India. Really crude -- no good cook would use it ... wait a minute ... wait a minute, whoever said Black Powder was invented by a good cook?"


The Hawk and the Dove
Xena: "What's wrong?"
Kao Sin: "I'm plagued with doubt and fear. I can't still my mind."
Xena: "Fear of what?"
Kao Sin: "My sister's Hate."

Kao Sin: "I hear her wards echoing through my mind telling me that I am weak ... and she's right. I'll never have the strength to defeat her."
Xena: "Wrong -- it takes great strength to show Compassion. Lao Ma taught us both that. That's what we're going to need to beat Pao Su."
Kao Sin: "I don't understand."
Xena: "Yes, you do ... you do. You said yourself, Lao Ma lives on in her legacy, and each of us holds a part of that. Her blood is in your heart. Her lessons are in mine. If we focus together, we don't need The Book."
Kao Sin: " ‘The hawk and the dove must be made one with the Wisdom' ... all this time I thought it was Pao Su ... but it's you."


The only thing you ever gave me
Pao Su: "This may be the only thing you ever gave me, Mother, but believe me, I'm going to put it to good use."


Xena: " ‘Knowing the Way is like being a child' ..."
Kao Sin: "... ‘laughing and crying all day without being hoarse' ..."

Pao Su: "... ‘small people hate loneliness, but the Master makes it her home, her source, her mother, for she knows it allows her to be one with the universe' ..."

The Hawk and the Dove
Kao Sin: "... ‘the Master knows no expectation, therefore no disappointment' ..."
Xena: "... ‘and thus, she stays young ... forever'."

Lao Ma: "To conquer others is to have power. To conquer yourself is to know the Way."

Kao Sin: "I've had ..."
Xena: "... a vision ... of Lao Ma."
Kao Sin: "So did I. When Pao Su and I were infants, she saved our lives ..."
Xena: "... at great risk to her own to protect you from your brother ..."
Pao Su: (from her hidden camp) "... the Green Dragon ..."
Xena: "... she knew that he would see any siblings as rivals to his throne. She couldn't risk a battle with him till she knew you were safe ... that's it, that's how we defeat Pao Su. We dilute her Purity."


Pao Su: " ‘The entire world is driven by a will, blind and ruthless' ..."
Go Kun: "Pao Su, in the time that you have wasted pursuing the powers of a dead woman, we could have every enemy faction under our boot heel by now. I say ... this idiotic experiment ... is ... finished." *** Pao Su proceeds to demonstrate some of her newfound skills on poor GK.
