Gabrielle: "Xena, you can kill gods. How is that possible?"
Xena: "While Eve was being initiated, I was visited by a spirit. He said that Eve's cleansing gave me the power to kill gods."
Gabrielle: "What do you mean? What kind of spirit?"
Xena: "It was sent by the Archangel Michael."
Gabrielle: "Michael?"

Xena: "He said that Eve would prepare the way for the rule of Love." Gabrielle: "And you're to protect her?" Xena: "I was chosen as the mother of the Messenger. As long as Eve lives, I have the power to kill gods."

Eve: "What's happed to me is all so confusing. When I was being initiated, I felt one load being lifted, only to be replaced by another just as frightening. Where should I begin?"
Xena: "By facing someone you've wronged."

Virgil: "Xena. Gabrielle."… [sees Eve and draws his sword to kill her] Xena: "No." Virgil: "Let me cut her throat." Xena: "Put it down, Virgil. Put it down."

Eve: "I don't expect you to forgive me."
Virgil: "Good … because that's not happening."
Eve: "If my death could bring your father back, I'd accept it joyfully."
Virgil: "You know, my entire life I never saw my father be cruel to a man, woman, child, nor beast. He brought joy to everybody who knew him. And you … killed him."
Xena: [to Eve] … "That kind of reaction comes with the territory."

Gabrielle: "Where are you going?"
Virgil: "My mother was mad with grief. She took my brothers and sisters to Athens to stay with some relatives. I'm going to catch up with them."
Gabrielle: "I'm sorry, Virgil." … [gives him a comforting hug]
Virgil: "Thank you."

Eve: "You preserved Xena for all the ages in these scroll, Gabrielle. Thank you."
Xena: [seeing Ares outside in the rain] … "Watch the back!"

Xena: "Ares?!"

Joxer: "Ow! Man! Materializing is not like it is in the brochure … Hi."
Gabrielle: "Joxer? You … you're, um …"
Joxer: "Yeah, I'm dead."
Gabrielle: "I miss you Joxer."
Joxer: "Then you shouldn't have let Eve kill me."
Gabrielle: [the Furies materialize and begin whispering and chanting in Gabrielle's ear] … "Joxer, I didn't let Eve kill you."
Joxer: "Kill her, Gabrielle. Kill her before she kills someone else."
Hope: "Good point."

Hope: "Hello, Mother." Gabrielle: "Hope?" Hope: "Xena's making a terrible mistake trying to save Eve -- the same mistake you made when you didn't kill me when you had your chance."

Ares: "Hello, Xena."

Hope: "Only you can stop the cycle of violence. Eve must die. Xena won't kill her own daughter. You know how hard that is. Be brave, Mother … for Xena. You can do it, Mother. You must do it."

Ares: "You're not going to kill me, are you?" Xena: "Why ever not?" Ares: "Because I love you. Yeah, I love you." … [smelling a rat, Xena runs back into the house]

Hope: "You can do it. You can do it, Mother. You have to do it. You must do it … [Gabrielle reaches for one of her sais] … Do it, Mother. Kill her. Do it! Do it for Xena. I know you can. This is the decision Xena can't make. Kill her! KILL HER!"

Xena: [just a smidgen too late] … "Eve!"

[Gabrielle stabs Eve, who is bent over reading a scroll.]

Xena: "NO!" … [Xena chucks her chakram straight at the back of Gabrielle's head, literally breaking open her scull.]

Xena: [to a gasping Eve] … "Good girl. You hang in there. You're gonna be fine … [inspecting the damage she did to Gabrielle] … Gabrielle … [realization kicks in] … Furies."
