| Athena: "You fools! If you'd waited for the Furies to do their work, we could have gotten through this without losing anyone." Ares: "You know, I'm just guessing, but I'm thinking Xena's gonna be pretty tough to kill." Athena: "We don't have to. Her daughter must somehow give her that power. It's Eve who has to die. And the Furies are still our best chance." Ares: "So, what we need is a distraction. Ooh, pick me." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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." |
