Soldier: "Lord Ares! Lord Ares! I finished it." Xena Fury: [invisible to everyone but Ares] … "What's that?" Ares: "My new armor." Soldier: "Yes, Lord." Xena Fury: "Well, what's it for?" Ares: "Can't be too careful, you know what I mean?" Soldier: "Beg pardon, m'lord?" Gabrielle Fury: "People might wonder what the God of War needs with that." Ares: "You think?" Soldier: "No, sir. I try not to." Xena Fury: "Yeah, she's right, you know. If people find out about your little problem … [squeezes Ares' hand uncomfortably] ... might be trouble." Ares: "Sh, not so loud." Soldier: [whispering] … "Beg your pardon, my lord?" Ares: "You've got a point there." Soldier: "I have? I thought I filed them all down." Xena Fury: "Get rid of it, Ares. Remember, you're invincible." Ares: "Yeah … [to soldier] … I changed my mind. Scrap it." Soldier: "But, sir, I--" Ares: "Do you hear me?! What does the God of War need with armor? Now, get lost."

Ares: [to Fury Xena] … "Stay here. I'll get my sword. We can start the attack … [to confused soldier] … I told you to get lost!"

Ares: "I thought I told you to wait outside." Xena: "You haven't told us anything yet. What's going on?" Ares: "I am getting my sword just like I told you. 'Ares, ditch the armor. Ares, what's going on?' Honey, Sweetie, I love you but you are suffocating me. Now, get ready. We are going to roll right over those Amazons just like you said."

Gabrielle: "What are you talking about?"
Ares: "War, baby! Come on, you were hot for it before."
Xena: "Ares, there is not going to be any war."
Ares: "Oh, you are such a kidder, ha, no war."

Gabrielle: "He has lost his mind."
Xena: "Maybe he had a push in that direction."
Gabrielle: "The Furies?"
Xena: "I'd bet on it."

Xena Fury: "What took you so long? We were getting antsy."
Ares: "I thought--"
Xena Fury: "Don't think, it's time to fight."
Gabrielle Fury: "Death to the Amazons."
Ares: "Now you're talking. Death to the Amazons!"

Xena: "Ares!" Xena Fury: "Come on! Get moving!" Xena: "Ares …" Xena Fury: "Come on, Ares! Give the order! Let's go kill them all!" Ares: "Yeah. Let's go. Let's kill 'em all!"

Gabrielle: "It's the Furies, alright."
Xena: "We've got no time to lose. Let's go."

Xena: "There. Let's head 'em off at the pass." … [lets her chakram fly]
Soldier: "Avalanche!"
Gabrielle: "It's not going to hold them for long."
Xena: "Let's get back to the Amazon village and warn them."

Varia: "You alright?" Eve: "Yeah." Varia: "You took care of my sister Amazons before you took care of yourself. Thank you." Eve: "My wound was a small one."

Varia: "That old scar's a bad one. Take a look at this." … [shows Eve a thick scar on her shoulder]
Eve: "Wow."
Varia: "A Roman short sword. The man who did it died before he had the time to wipe his blade."
Eve: [turns around to expose a long scar on her lower back] … "Gaelic spear. The man who did it … his entire regiment, his village and two neighboring villages destroyed before the sun went down."
Varia: "I was right. You were a serious warrior."

Varia: "Don't you miss it? The knot in your stomach as you prepare for war."
Eve: "The quiet after a tough battle?"
Varia: "Yeah."
Eve: "Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat. Death so close, then suddenly driven away … no, I don't miss it."

Varia: "Will you teach me some new moves?"
Eve: "Will you use them to hurt others?"
Varia: "For defense only."
Eve: "Okay."

Eve: "Very good. You're a natural."
Varia: "Thanks. Come on, show me another one."
Eve: "No, I can't."
Varia: "Admit you enjoyed teaching me that."
Eve: [smiling] … "It was alright."
Varia: "Then one more, you're best move."
Eve: "Okay."

Eve: "Say you're being charged by two lines of infantry and you don't have the angle to flip over them, you do this … [does a very Xena-esque flying flippy thing] … see, that'll put you right--" … [turns to find Varia's sword at her throat] Varia: "I've only seen one warrior do that move. I knew I recognized you from someplace. You're Livia, Bitch of Rome."
