Quotes
-
Xena : I used to think that I had to go through life alone--that anything else was a sign of weakness, so I traded my home and family for violence, blood--so much blood. I never want Eve to know that life. Maybe if she becomes an Amazon, she'll always feel a part of something.
Gabrielle : She will.
Xena : But your right of caste--that's a pretty precious gift.
Gabrielle : Xena, we're all family--I love her like my own daughter.
Xena : [Xena smiles] Well if that's how you feel...
-
Gabrielle : [Narrating] And so the Amazon legacy to temper might with mercy was restored thanks to the innocence of a child and the wisdom of Xena.

Gabrielle : Don't shoot! Lady with a baby.
Xena : It's *for* the baby, goober.
Xena : [Xena puts Eve in the swing and begins swinging her. She smiles]
Gabrielle : She likes it.
Xena : But of course.
Gabrielle : I always knew it was going to happen--you're nesting.
Xena : [Skeptically] Nesting because I built a swing?
Gabrielle : Xena, it's perfectly natural--you're a mother. Actually, I feel the same way.
Xena : What way is that?
Gabrielle : Have you ever thought about settling down? Here?
Xena : Like when I'm too old to do kicks and stuff?
Gabrielle : No, I mean right now. Xena, it's a beautiful place--you could raise Eve here.
Xena : What are you talking about?
Gabrielle : These kids need someone, they need guidance, they need... me.
Xena : Gabrielle, are you saying that you'd wanna stay here and be Queen?
Gabrielle : Only if you and Eve would stay. I think you should consider it.
Gabrielle : It makes sense Xena--we've never really had our own home. So I see this place as our domestic bliss--all we have to do is fix it up a little bit.
Xena : [Xena looks around, unconvinced] Wouldn't hurt to consider it.
Gabrielle : [Meekly] Thanks.
