- Gabrielle: I guess it's a day for changes.
- Xena: Oh, yeah. How does this feel?
- Gabrielle: Feels pretty good. I wish I had some word in it, though. You know? It was like this in that vision.
- [about her hair]
- Xena: I know. I've been thinking about that.
- Gabrielle: Xena, Alti was evil. Why should we believe anything she showed us? The menhdi contains the truth. I wish there was some way that... that we could do that again, just... just to really know.
- Xena: Naima could have told us.
- Gabrielle: Yeah. There's so many questions I wish I had asked her, about what this all means. You know what she said? She said that your karma and mine... they're intertwined.
- Xena: Well, maybe it's not the first time we've walked down this road, huh?
- Gabrielle: Maybe it won't be the last. How would I recognize you?
- Xena: We need a sign. This way, no matter how we look, we'll always remember the women we were.
- [She paints a cross on her foot]
- Xena: Like it?
- Gabrielle: I love it.
- On screen: What we sow in this life, we reap in our future lives. This is our karma.
- Naima: Thank you, Xena. You destroyed Alti at the one time in her karma when she was most powerful.
- Xena: The one time?
- Naima: Oh, yes. Her soul is not destroyed. It will return many times, filled with evil, but you will always be there to meet it. And you, Gabrielle, you both walk a path together. Think of yourselfves as lines in the menhdi, separated but forever connected. Menhdi contains truth.
