Quotes 

• Mavican : [while fighting Xena]  No weapons, no Gabrielle. Just you and me! What's the matter Xena? Can't get in that killing blow? Oh, wait Ares said you can't kill me! Just too much on your mind to fight straight, huh? And the sun's going down. What kind of a fighter are you in the dark?

  Xena : You know what, sweetie? You *talk* too much!

• Ares, God of War : Considering all you've been through.

  Gabrielle : [draws her sais]  Ares, whatever you're looking for, look somewhere else!

  Ares, God of War : Do I always have to be after something? You've been away awhile. Maybe I missed you. Maybe I'm trying to help...

  Gabrielle : You only help yourself.

  Ares, God of War : Aw, ultimately that is true but it doesn't mean I don't understand. Here, let me take a shot at this. Uh, Xena has been overprotective of you. She's been treatin' you like you're still...

  Gabrielle : They were five bandits, five of them! She could have handled four and I would have been happy with just one. But no, no, she had to take them all!

  Ares, God of War : It is hard to shed your perceptions of a person...

  Gabrielle : [picks up her sais]  I'm tired of it!

  Ares, God of War : Hey, I notice you're gettin' pretty good with those!

  Gabrielle : At least someone noticed. So Xena doesn't appreciate that I've been practicing. It's...

  Gabrielle : [Mavican appears]  Who are you?

  Mavican : The name is Mavican. I'm looking for Xena.

  Gabrielle : What do you want with her?

  Mavican : I wanna kill her and I understand that killing you is the best way to meet her!

• Ares, God of War : Hey! Just stop it! Stop it right now!

  [column falls and Ares looks outraged] 

  Ares, God of War : What in the name of me do you think you're doing?

  Mavican : Getting your attention!

  Ares, God of War : By destroying Demeter's temple? No. See, destroying temples in the name of other gods, we just don't do it.

  Mavican : Who cares about her? I'll destroy a thousand of her temples if I have to! I told you I was good. Tell him! Tell him how good I am, Xena!

  Xena : Good enough to die young.

• Mavican : I hate to kill you, Xena. There's so many things I could learn from you. Like how do you know when you're about to be attacked?

  Xena : Just always assume you will be.

  Mavican : Oh, so it's more philosophical than a gift. Must be tiring on the soul. Thanks.

• Mavican : Ares! Ares! Help me! Help me!

  Ares, God of War : Mavican, are you asking for my help?

  Mavican : Yes, I'm asking for your help, God of War!

  Xena : She's asking for your help.

  [Xena looks triumphant. Ares opens the portal home and Xena jumps through] 

  Mavican : What are you doing, Ares? You said I could ask!

  Ares, God of War : Yeah, I said you could. I never said you should.
