Xena: "Hrothgar, this madman has mistaken me for--"
Hyldigith: "Enough! My brother has heard too many of your false words. Seize them."
Hrothgar: "Are you absolutely certain?"
Hyldigith: "Yes."
Hrothgar: "We were as brothers, Beowulf … [to Xena] … I would have loved you until the end of my lifetime. Now it seems it will only be until the end of yours. Dispose of them as you choose."
Xena: "Hrothgar … Hrothgar!"
Hyldigith: "As if I would have allowed my brother to share our city with some … foreign witch. Take them to the dungeon."
Xena: "Why did you not tell them the truth?!"
Beowulf: "Because I need you to help me save Gabrielle."
[Beowulf breaks free of the guards and quickly dispatches most of them. Some more of that warrior princess reflex surfaces and Xena saves Beowulf from certain impalement.]
 |
Beowulf: "You see? I told you I need you. Please?" … [as he reaches out his hand to help her up, Xena sees a vision of a nubile blond reaching for her instead] |
[Xena emerges from her cabin onto the deck where the oarsmen are. They immediately stop rowing and stare at her in awe and amazement.]
 |
Xena: "What's the matter with your men? They look as though they've seen a ghost." |
Wiglaf: "All these men can talk of is the chance to see you in action. And to tell you the truth, I'm--"
Beowulf: "About to go and polish your blade, is that right, Wiglaf?"
Wiglaf: "Fine. Send me away."
 |
Beowulf: "You feeling seasick?" |
Beowulf: "Hrothgar. He's not the man that I knew. He rescued a beautiful woman who had lost her memory, gave her a new name and then some lame story about being the soul survivor of a shipwreck."
Xena: "I thought he loved me, and now you tell me that this name, Wealthea, is not even my own."
Beowulf: "You are Xena."
Xena: "I could have done so much good for the Viking peoples."
Beowulf: [unsheathing his sword] … "The Xena I remember could do more good with this sword than a hundred Viking Queens could eve do. And the Xena I remember could never forget what happened in that swamp -- the face of Gabrielle, the most loyal friend in the world."
Xena: "I remember none of these."
 |
Beowulf: [swings at her with his sword, which she easily deflects] … "You may not remember them, but they are inside you." |
Waltraute: [having bested another Valkyrie] … "Odin, you've missed the great skill I've achieved in your honor."
Odin: "Well, you better get ready, Waltraute. Xena is about to test it."
Waltraute: "Xena is alive?"
Odin: "At this very moment, she and Beowulf are crossing the Great Sea, heading toward the ring."
 |
[Xena stands on a beach with the waves at her feet contemplating the mystery of her past and her inevitable future … or so I'm guessing] |
Wiglaf: "Uh, Xena … can I offer you some water?"
Xena: "Yes …"
Viking: "No, 'cause I'm gonna offer it to her."
Wiglaf: "I don't think so."
[The two Vikings start duking it out and before long the whole lot of them are tossing about in a huge brawl.]
Xena: "Stop it! … Why don't you stop that?! … That's enough! … Stop it! Stop! … this is madness! Must you seek the merest excuse to fight?!"
Wiglaf: "That's what Vikings do. Fighting gives our lives meaning."
Xena: "Fighting gives your lives meaning -- do you have any idea how stupid that is?"
Beowulf: "Yeah, well, it didn't sound stupid when it came from you."
Xena: "From me?"
 |
Beowulf: "Long ago, it was Xena who first taught Odin to embrace violence and bloodlust." |
[The group look up to see a band of Valkyrie flying towards the shore in there direction]
Beowulf: "They know who you are, and they want you dead."
