Cyane: (Xena's chakram effectively puts a stop to the ceremony) "This is a sacred ceremony!" Gabrielle: (to Xena) "I'm so sorry. That's not how I was initiated."

Xena: "Listen … what you're doing here is wrong."
Cyane: "This has been our way for generations. Who are you to tell us any different? You're not even an Amazon."
Xena: "It's wrong. And you don't have to take my work for it."

Cyane: "The Sacred Dagger of the Atman." Xena: "If you won't listen to me, listen to your ancestors. Let Yakut reveal the truth Samsara hid!"

Cyane: (while trying to capture some horses, they frighten and take off running) "What did I say?"
Cute Amazon: (pointing to the hordes of men coming over the hill) "I think it was them!"

Leader: (to Kor) "Bleed her!"
Cyane: "Please …"
Leader: "Do it."
Kor: "No."

Samsara: "This is for my father! Death to the Varanas!"

Cyane: "Thank you, Samsara." Samsara: "I don't want your thanks." Cyane: "Samsara, if you hate me so much, why did you save me?" Samsara: "I didn't want the Varanas to get the satisfaction of eating another Tretomlec."

Hyppolita: "You must forgive Samsara her bitterness. Memories of her father's death cry still slice her soul."
Cyane: "She was there?"
Hyppolita: "Yes. She didn't go with Temoor and the other women. She liked being with the men and she begged her father to let her stay. When the Varanas attacked at night, she hid under the fallen roof of one of our yurts. She saw who killed him. It was Targa, the Varanas with the blood-red scar on his cheek. She feels she should have done something."

Cyane: "They out-numbered your tribe. There was nothing she could do." Hyppolita: "Then she feels that she should have died with her father."

Gabrielle: "I won't let this tribe go to war. Revenge is not justice."
Cyane: "Don't you have any respect for the dead? We would never abandon our sisters, even in death."
Xena: "Don't your traditions include listening to your Queen?"
Cyane: "This is an Amazon matter. Step aside."

Yakut: "Stop them, Xena, or the tribe and I are lost."
Xena: "You're making a terrible mistake."
Cyane: "The only mistake would be to ignore the debt we owe Yakut and the others. Nothing … (pulls out her dagger in a rather menacing manner) … will stop us from fulfilling our duty."
