Eve
- Page 2 -


Viewing the carnage
Gabrielle: "I can't believe Eve could do this."
Xena: [reading a sign at the foot of a crucified man] … " 'Rome needs no mother.'"
Virgil: "Caniedas … Titus … these were my friends."
Xena: "Get 'em down. Get 'em all down."

Gabrielle: "Xena, this isn't all your fault."
Village Woman: "Xena? You're Xena?"
Xena: "That's right."
Village Woman: [spits in Xena's face] … "She killed them all! My husband, my children. I asked her why. Why? She said, 'ask Xena. Ask my mother.' Tell me why, Xena. Why? Why, why, why?"

She's something, isn't she?
Ares: "She's something, isn't she? Looks like Livia's nearly racked up the body count you had at her age."
Xena: "She's my daughter, you sick bastard."
Ares: "Why do you think it was so easy to turn her?"

Ares: "Look, this is blood under the bridge. If you give me a child, the other gods will never find out that Eve is still alive."
Xena: "I'd rather go to Hell."
Ares: "Damn it! I'm not asking you, I'm telling you! You give me what I want or I will bring all of Olympus down on your daughter's head!"
Xena: "The thought of being with you, or of having you child … that sickens me."


Livia: "We'll set up camp here." … [takes a swig from a wine skin]
Ares: "Kinda early for hard stuff, huh? … Whoa! Down girl. We've got some business."
Livia: "Take you business to my mother - your long, lost love. We've got nothing!"
Ares: "Oh, grow up. I had a thing for Xena once, but no longer. So, get over it and get even. Wouldn't you like that?"
Livia: "What do you think? I was supposed to marry Augustus. I was destined to be the Empress of the Empire … till she came back."
Ares: "So, what's changed? We have an arrangement - you destroy the cult of Eli for me, I run a little divine intervention for you, get you to be Empress of Rome."
Livia: "Where does Xena fit in to all this?"
Ares: "She doesn't. But you're going to have to kill her to keep her from stopping you."

Reclaim your Destiny, Livia.
Livia: "And the Twilight - aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid I'll bring about the end of your gods?"
Ares: "When you were born, there was panic on Olympus. It cost Zeus his life. Hera vanished. Then, we thought you were dead for twenty-five years. And do you know what happened? Nothing. So, the only power you have over us is our own fear. Reclaim your Destiny, Livia. Kill Xena."


Virgil: "It must feel great to be on the road again - leading Xena and Gabrielle into battle after all these years."
Joxer: "Yeah, well, you know, you never lose a warrior instinct, you know."

Xena: "These tracks are fresh. I can't believe it's my daughter we're tracking, that it's Eve who's doing these terrible things."
Gabrielle: "Xena, this isn't the Eve you would've raised. Ares did this."
Xena: "Ares may have opened the door, but Eve had to walk through."
Gabrielle: "How do you know that?"
Xena: "You said it yourself. Eve finally took a good look inside herself and she found me there."
Gabrielle: "That's not what I meant."
Xena: "I know her Rage. It's in Eve's blood, Gabrielle. I made her who she is. I was her."
Gabrielle: "Then there's hope, because you changed."


[Livia's Roman soldiers start crucifying some villagers.]

Soldier: "Xena!"
Xena: "Alright, boys, that's enough arts and crafts today."

Joxer: "Now you'll taste the steel of Joxer the Mighty!"
Virgil: "Wait - I'll get them, Dad."
Joxer: "Get 'em, boy. Just like I taught ya."

Xena: "Where is she?!"
Livia: "Oh, Mommy --" … [has Joxer at knife point]
Gabrielle: "Joxer."
Xena: "Eve …"
Livia: "I told you, my name is Livia!"

It's time for some payback, Xena.
Xena: "Alright … Livia. You've got a bone to pick with me. Here I am. But let Joxer go."
Livia: "It's time for some payback, Xena. I think I'll start with this loser."
Virgil: "Dad!"
Gabrielle: "Joxer."

[Xena grabs a handful of nails and chucks them at Livia's face which she is forced to block, thereby loosening her grip on Joxer, who slinks away quickly.]

Xena: "You can get past this Anger, Eve."
Ares: "Don't listen to her, Livia. She's just jealous of your strength."
Livia: "I'm glad you came back. Killing you must be part of my destiny."
Xena: "No, your destiny isn't to kill. Your destiny is to find a new way beyond the killing."
Livia: "Shut up and fight me! … [pummels Xena for a bit] … Fight me! Fight me!"

Ares: [Livia gets the advantage with a knife at Xena's throat] … "Do it! She's all that stands between you and Rome."
Xena: "He's lying, Eve. He'd say anything to keep you from your true path. That's why I came back - to show you who you truly are."
Ares: "Come on, do it!"

Listen to your heart.
Xena: "Listen to your heart."
Livia: "My heart is a traitor."
Xena: "Eve--" … [breaks free of Livia's hold]

Vigilante: [jumps from the roof with knife in hand] … "Die, butcher!"
Xena: [tosses her chakram at the knife] … "Hey, it's alright."
Livia: "Archers!"

How does it feel, Xena...
Ares: "How does it feel, Xena - knowing the person you love despises you? Trying to reach her, but knowing in the end it'll either be her or you."

Vigilante: [to Xena] … "Why did you stop me?! She murdered my wife, my daughter. What about the next family she butchers? And the next? Their blood's on your hands now!"
