Callisto: (in response to Xena's nearly angelic new threads) "Pretty."
***Alas, poor Callisto is once again denied the pleasure of destroying Xena

Female Angel: "Xena, you made it!"
Xena: "Where is Gabrielle?"
Michael: "One of the demons escaped with a soul. My name is Michael."
Female Angel: "He's an archangel. Lief and I are guardian angels."
Lief: "Some guardian angel I turned out to be. We have to get her back."
Xena: "Back? Back from where?"
Michael: "Your friend has been taken to Hell."

Xena: "Michael ... how can a soul like Gabrielle's end up in Hell?" Michael: "There's a war going on between Good and Evil. Not only on Earth, but here in Eternity as well. Once there were only angels. But one of our number rebelled and he and his allies were thrown down from Heaven. They have never given up the desire to recapture paradise and twist it into their image."

Xena: "She has to be rescued."
Michael: "That's the responsibility of the Archangels."
Xena: "No, it's my responsibility."
Michael: "Yours? You're not even an angel. You're to be reborn into a new body."
Xena: "Well, it's going to have to wait. Right now I'm going after my friend."
Michael: "That's impossible.
Xena: "No, it's not" -- Xena takes the plunge!

Michael: "Are you insane?"
Xena: "Depends who you talk to."

Michael: "If you go down to Hell voluntarily, you will be doomed to everlasting suffering. Gripped with an unbearable thirst and hunger. You'll be tempted to eat the fruit of Hell. And when you do that, you're on your way to becoming one of them."

Xena: "Gabrielle and I have already been through Hell together. I didn't come all this way to lose her now. So either you set me up with a pair of wings or I take another dive. Michael, Gabrielle's soul and mine are destined to be together. I can't let her walk through Hell alone ... please."

Gabrielle: "Xena?" Callisto: "Morning, honey ... aren't you the lucky girl. You get to spend Eternity with me."

Callisto: "Let me confess something ... I'm going to enjoy tormenting you. I'm sure the powers that be will try to rob me of my joy. That's always the catch down here."

Gabrielle: "Xena will not leave me down here with you." Callisto: "You have such faith. How cute. Of course they'll try to rescue you. And Xena will make some self-sacrificing gesture. But fear not, we'll be ready for them."

Callisto: "Eat up, my little dimpling! You must be famished. Dying makes one so very hungry."
Gabrielle: "You want me to eat the fruit."
Callisto: "Yes."
Gabrielle: "That would make me like you."
Callisto: "Mm-hmm."
Gabrielle: "Not a chance."
Callisto: "Oh, but you will eat it. Believe me."

Amarice: "Hey, we need your help if we're going to do this." Joxer: "Alright ... okay."

Michael: "If you are to enter the rank of the Archangels you must walk through this cave."
Xena: "What's in there?"
Michael: "A choice."

Michael: "I'm concerned. Xena should have been out by now."
Archangel: "We can't wait. We should go now. Her friend doesn't have much time before she becomes one of them."

Michael: "You've walked through the Fire of Purification. Now, as the Divine Waters sanctify your existence, your cleansing is complete."
