Xena: (having beat up several aforementioned goons) "That's how we do it … Oh! What's that?" Ares: "Baptism by blood. How fitting."

Xena: "Can't you take a hint?"
Ares: "I am here to help you."
Xena: "That's what you said the last time in Tartarus when you tried to convince me that you loved me."
Ares: "I do."

Ares: "Ooh, I love it when you play hard to get. But that's why I'm here -- to prove it to you."
Xena: "Then you're wasting my time. I'd never swallow that."
Ares: "Thanks to that kid of yours, I am dying. So, why would I lie?"
Xena: "Because you're Ares. You always lie."
Ares: "Now anymore. All I want is to end my life the way it really started - fighting side by side with you."
Xena: "You forget - I fight against scum like you."
Ares: "Then so will I. A fight is a fight, no matter which side you're on."

Gabrielle: "It's helping. The red line seems to be holding. We should have plenty of time to get to the tree."
Joxer: "I thought you said you were leaving."
Gabrielle: "I'm sorry about what I said. I did not mean that."
Joxer: "Mm, I think you did."
Gabrielle: "Okay, maybe I did. It's just hard knowing that the people I love are in danger and I'm not there."
Joxer: "You're talking about Xena, right? I'm sure she can handle herself."
Gabrielle: "It doesn't mean that I don't want to be there so I can jump in and help or something."
Joxer: "I know the feeling."

Gabrielle: "I can be a real bitch sometimes, huh?"
Joxer: "Mm … mm … mm …"
Gabrielle: "Can't I?"
Joxer: "Mm-hmm."
Gabrielle: "Let's get to that tree, okay? Come on."

Xena: "Sweet dreams, darling."
Ares: "… Oof! Damn!"
Xena: "Get the hell away from my baby!"
Ares: "I swear, I won't harm her."
Xena: "That's right, you're not gonna harm her!"
Ares: "Oof! … How did we ever let things get this way between us?"
Xena: "Well, could it have been when you used the Furies to drive me insane? Or, when you turned yourself into my father just to torment me? Or, was it coming on to my best friend?!"
Ares: "Enough said. Perhaps I've been just a tad overzealous. But all I want is to have things back the way they were before. But all that's changed."
Xena: "That's right, it's changed."
Ares: "There is no going back. Eve has seen to that. I have a short span of time and then … I'm gone."
Xena: "Well, you'll forgive me if I don't wear mourning."
Ares: "The question is … do you forgive me? I want to be with you, Xena. And I will do whatever it takes to make that happen … to prove myself … to make you trust me."

*** One of the psychotic priests' goons appears and tries to kill Eve.

Xena: "You saved her!" Ares: "No, that spring you rigged saved her. I just pitched relief." Xena: "But Eve means your death." Ares: "You still don't get it. I would sooner die in your arms … than live without you in mine." - Ares proves to be quite persuasive and Xena more than receptive to his sexual advances.

*** Okay, so it was just a dream - but what a dream!

Gabrielle: "Wake up, Joxer. Come on, break's over … hey … Joxer, wake up. I'll load up Argo, you'll just have to … Joxer? … Joxer?!"
Joxer: "Yah! What?!"
Gabrielle: "Are you alright?"
Joxer: "I'm fine. Good morning."
Gabrielle: "Good morning."
Joxer: "Oh, okay. I'm not so fine."
Gabrielle: (feeling his forehead) "Oh, you're so hot."
Joxer: "Hm, you're not so bad yourself … what?"
Gabrielle: "Poison's on the move. Come on, we have to get you out of here."

Gabrielle: "How are you doing, Joxer?"
Joxer: "Fine. I feel fine."
Gabrielle: "Can't be much longer now."

Priestess of Artemis: (comes across Gabrielle and one very sick Joxer) "Kill them!"
