[Xena follows the group back to their village, beating up a few stray cannibals along the way.]
Virgil: "Gabrielle! You're freezing … [to Rubio] … Get me that rug."
Rubio: [trying to check Gabrielle's plumpness] … "Ow! You just gained more time. Women always retain more."
Gabrielle: "Who is that?"
Rubio: "'That' is Rubio. You may call me--"
Virgil: "Shut up!"
Virgil: "Where's Xena?"
Gabrielle: "I don't know."Virgil: [a group of cannibals enter the hut and pull Gabrielle away from Virgil] … "Don't hurt her! Take me! Take me!"
[The cannibals unceremoniously deposit poor Gabs on a table and force a dark liquid down her throat. They then sprinkle what appear to be sesame seeds over her body.]
Virgil: "They were trying to treat your wound."
Rubio: "These boys will do anything to save meat from going bad. No offense."
Virgil: "Maybe you should rest, Gabrielle, because if given a chance, I promise you I am gonna get you out of here."
Gabrielle: "Be ready when Xena comes."
Virgil: "I will."
[Xena goes to work on damming up the river. Wow, those Greeks really knew how to make tough swords … not to mention, women.]
Virgil: "Hey, your fever's broken, but you're still weak."
Gabrielle: "Virgil, I'm so sorry."
Virgil: "For what?"
Gabrielle: "I lost my nerve. That's how I got hurt. If I had just killed that cannibal who attacked me, then Xena and I would have saved you by now."
Virgil: "Never apologize for having compassion, Gabrielle. It's one of the most beautiful things about you."
Virgil: [the cannibals enter and make a grab for Gabrielle] … "Wait! Wait! No! Don't hurt her! Don't hurt her! Take me instead! Take! Me! Instead! Wait! Wait! Where are they taking her?! Gabrielle! Gabrielle!"
[In the distance, Xena hears Virgil's screams and realizes that she's just about out of time. As she makes her way towards the village, she's attacked by a few of those pesky cannibals.]
Gabrielle: [tied to a cooking spit and being smeared with batter] … "Xena! XENA!!!"
