Xena: "Why are you doing that?"
Gabrielle: "Nine out of ten times, the first strike means victory."
Xena: "We're not at war, Gabrielle."
Gabrielle: "Don't patronize me."
Xena: "It's just that you've been so quick to pull those things lately when words have always been your strongest weapons."
Gabrielle: "Do you have a point?"
Xena: "Yes. Couldn't we have settled that argument back there without beating heads, huh?"
Gabrielle: "Xena, I made a bad call. There was a time I used to pull you off anyone who looked at you sideways."
 |
Xena: "Guess I'm starting to think like a mother, huh?" |
Disciple: "Xena ... I want to thank you for escorting us. You know, unfortunately, some people don't understand what we're trying to achieve. But, in time, the world will hear out teacher's message."
Gabrielle: "Who's your teacher?"
Disciple: "His name is Eli."
Eli: "We don't need a sacred dagger! Love is the only weapon we need. It's a weapon the gods neither have, nor understand, and so they can't defend themselves against it. True Love can not exist without the risk of loss. The gods are immortal, my friends. What can an immortal possibly know about loss? We don't need to fear them anymore. It's their turn to fear us!"
Gabrielle: "Eli."
Eli: "Gabrielle! What are you doing here?"
Gabrielle: "Looking for you."
Eli: (to Xena) "You're with child!"
Xena: "Yep."
Eli: "You look beautiful."
 |
Xena: "I see you found yourself some new friends." |
Xena: "You sure they're getting the right message?"
Eli: "What do you mean?"
Xena: "Eli, these people think that you are going to lead them in a war against the gods."
Eli: "It's not a war of Violence. It's a war of Peace."
Xena: "How does that work?"
Eli: "The time of the Olympians is over, Xena. The gods have no choice but to give us what is rightfully ours."
Gabrielle: "Not without a fight they won't"
Eli: "Let them come. Love will be our shield and weapon."
Xena: "What if Love isn't strong enough? Are you going to take the chance that these people could die in your name?"
Eli: "I never ask them to do anything I'm not prepared to do myself."

Milos: "He has desecrated the temple! He is turning the people against you." |
Ares: "He has become more of a pest than I had anticipated."
Milos: "Well, if this keeps up, you run the risk of losing your worshipers."
Ares: "Then it's high time I paid Eli a visit. Fear always makes a good impression."
Eli: "You've been quiet all afternoon. What's wrong."
Gabrielle: "I feel like I have disappointed you. You are walking through life preaching Peace, and Xena and I have swords in our hands."
Eli: "You feel like you've made the wrong choice?"
Gabrielle: "Yeah. I mean, no. My heart says the you're right. That everything you say makes sense. But then, my head tells me that sometimes the only answer is to fight."
Eli: "Sometimes I feel the same way."
Gabrielle: "But you seem so sure of yourself, like you have no doubt about your cause."
Eli: "Everyone lives with doubt, Gabrielle. This is the path I have chosen. I just hope I have the strength to see it through."
 |
Eli: "At least you have Xena to buoy you in these times of doubt." |
Gabrielle: "What do you want?"
Ares: "Want? I'm here to make Eli an offer. Forget your pathetic crusade."
Eli: "Or what?"
Ares: "Or ... I'll think of something."
 |
Eli: "You've had plenty of time to kill me, Ares. Yet, here I am, and why is that?" |
Eli: "Perhaps under all that Rage, there's a little Compassion after all."
Ares: "I wouldn't confuse caution with compassion if I were you, Eli. The only reason that you're still standing here is that a good tactician does not make a move until he's seen all the angles. My advice ... walk away, Eli. You'll save a great many lives ... including your own."
 |
Callisto: "Hello, Xena." |
Callisto: "I've been purified by the waters of Heaven, and yet all you see of me is a black heart."
Xena: "I know that the old Callisto is dead, but she is alive in my memory. Don't expect too much from me."
Callisto: "I've come here to ask you not to interfere with Eli. He'll handle Ares on his own terms."
Xena: "Ares' army is about to march on Pilos. Eli thinks he can stop them with a kind word. He can't. All I'm going to do is give him a fighting chance."
Callisto: "Eli has a Destiny to fulfill. He's brought Hope to the world, and if that's to survive, he's going to have to face that challenge alone."
Soldier: (noticing a certain very pregnant Warrior Princess) "Look here, boys! First catch of the day!"
