Ramius : This isn't just any scroll...
[pause]
Ramius : No, my friends, I have in my hand, the last known scroll transcribed by the Bard of Poteidaia herself!
[Joxer suddenly turns around to Ramius; viewers see that he's now an old man]
Ramius : It describes, in breathtaking detail, the final adventure of Xena, the legendary Warrior Princess, who dared to defy the Gods!
Joxer : [Joxer takes the scroll and observes it] Let's see!
[he keeps reading]
Joxer : This is Gabrielle's handwriting. This is real!
Ramius : Ah, sure it is!
Joxer : "Bard of Poteidaia." You know, I - I knew her. You know, she was a friend of mine.
[pause]
Joxer : Xena was my friend too.
Inebriated Patron : [laughs] Xena was my housemaid!
Ramius : Well friend, we'd best cut you off. What say I start the bidding at...
Inebriated Patron : Ten dinars!
Patron #2 : Twenty dinars!
Joxer : Cover your tab!
Inebriated Patron : You should talk, Joxer, ya deadbeat! Thirty!
Patron #2 : Thirty-five dinar!
Joxer : [Joxer tosses a bag full of change on a table] Sixty-five dinars!
[pause]
Joxer : SOLD!
[Joxer takes the scroll and leaves the tavern]
Ramius : [shocked] Sixty-five dinars?
