Quotes 

• Eve : [as the baptist stares at her]  What are you looking at?

  John the Baptist : Suffering. Horrible suffering!

  Eve : [the baptist holds out his hand and Eve moves to him. He puts his hand on her shoulder and moves her to the ocean. They both kneel]  I should die for my deeds!

  John the Baptist : You're right.

  [pause] 

  John the Baptist : You must die to the things of the flesh...

  [he puts water on her head] 

  John the Baptist : ... and be reborn to the way of love.

• Eve : [Tentatively]  Gabrielle? About Joxer...

  Gabrielle : Joxer's at peace.

  [Gabrielle touches Eve's arm] 

  Eve : Thank you.

• Eve : You preserved Xena for all the ages in these scrolls, Gabrielle. Thank you.

• Tisiphone : Is it true he could breathe fire?

  Gabrielle : No, no... He was a man made of flesh and blood, like you. That's why his mission was so important.

  Tisiphone : You see Jeb--now I want you to take that fire-breathing stuff out of your scroll. Tell us more please.

  Gabrielle : He um... He gave us all hope that every living thing could be saved by love.

  Eve : He was wrong... How can I be saved? The thing's I've done?

  [Crying] 

  Xena : Eve, maybe you should listen to what they have to say about Eli.

  [Eve shakes her head] 

  Gabrielle : Eli teaches that even if you've done something really bad, you can find comfort in love.

  Eve : I've wiped out entire villages because they wouldn't pay me tribute, I've drunk the blood of men that I've tortured to death, I killed her best friend!

  Xena : [Xena touches her shoulder]  . Stop.

  [Quieter] 

  Xena : Stop.

• Eve : What's happening 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.

• Eve : Mother?

  Xena : [Xena kneels down in front of Eve]  What is it, Eve?

  Eve : Nothing, I just wanted to say it. I've never called anyone Mother before.

  Xena : I just wish I had've seen you grow up. Bet you were a beautiful little girl.

  Eve : I was. I liked spiders.

  Xena : [Xena smiles]  Me too.

  [Eve coughing] 

• Ares : [Ares appears]  Quite a load you've got there.

  [Xena points crossbow at Ares] 

  Ares : Take it easy. I'm here to make you an offer.

  Eve : Like she'd trust anything you said, you lying bastard!

  [Clutching Xena's leg on the ground] 

  Ares : We'll make you a god.

  Xena : And what about Eve and Gabrielle?

  Ares : Gabrielle we can negotiate, but Eve... She's our death warrant; she has to die.

  [Xena repositions crossbow at Ares] 

  Ares : . Ya know, this is the second time since you became Xena: Slayer of Gods that we've faced off one-on-one, and you still haven't been able to pull the trigger.

  [Xena pulls the trigger, shooting Ares in the leg, hitting him in the face, and wrapping him in Hephaestus' chains]
