Xena Dislcaimers and Dialogue -- The Rheingold

The Rheingold
- Page 5 -

Beowulf: "Twenty-three warriors ripped apart. The lucky ones died right here. The unlucky ones, dragged back to the beast's lair … eaten alive."
Xena: "Friends of yours?"
Beowulf: "Many friends. Two brothers. I will do anything to avenge them. I'm ready to die myself."
Xena: "Whatever happens, Beowulf, I'm with you."

Xena: "What do they call this beast?"
Beowulf: "Grindl."
Xena: "Maybe we can take Grindl down with us. It's big and it's slow."
Beowulf: "You know this monster pretty well."
Xena: "I should. I created it."

Brunnhilda: "I'm sure they went to the East Wind Bog."
Gabrielle: "How far are we?"
Brunnhilda: "Well, we should camp here tonight. That way, in the morning--"
Gabrielle: "No. No, we're not going to camp. We're going to travel through the night."

Brunnhilda: "Then we'll be there by morning. Just hope we don't run into Grindl along the way."
Gabrielle: "Who's Grindl?"
Brunnhilda: "What's Grindl, is a better question. All the while I was growing up, I heard stories about a monster trapped in an abandoned mine above the bog."
Gabrielle: "Held by a raven lock?"
Brunnhilda: "Exactly. Ravens are the sign of Odin. He crafted that lock himself. Supposedly, it was unbreakable by human hands."
Gabrielle: "What happened?"
Brunnhilda: "The ring happened. The one that Xena made out of the Rheingold."

[Grindl breaks into the farmhouse and attacks Xena and Beowulf.]
Xena: "That ring's got to go back to the Rhine Maidens."
Beowulf: "If one of us survives."

Xena: [sees the ring on one of Grindl's fingers] … "The ring!"
[Grindl easily thwarts Xena and Beowulf's attack.]
Xena: [to Beowulf] … "Get ready for round two."

[Grindl beats the living daylights out of Xena. Beowulf attacks Grindl from behind, only to be tossed aside like a rag doll where he is buried by a few falling rafters. Bleeding and broken, Xena can only watch as Grindl approaches her again.]

Gabrielle: [approaching the farmhouse] … "This is it, isn't it?"
Brunnhilda: "You do realize this may mean your death?"
Gabrielle: "Xena's path is my path."
Brunnhilda: "I wish I had a friend like you."
Gabrielle: "You do." … [she drops her bag of scrolls and pulls out her sais to enter the building]

[Gabrielle and Brunnhilda find a half buried, but still breathing Beowulf.]
Beowulf: "It dragged her off. I don't know whether she's dead or alive."

Gabrielle: "Xena? … [looks around and finds Xena's breastplate, which is covered in blood] … No. Xena."
