Quotes
-
Xena : My mother's soul is trapped. My daughter is half dead. And the portal to Hell opened up in my backyard!
-
Xena : [while fighting Mephistopheles] I'm just a little distracted by your *good looks*!
-
Mephistopheles : You're hold back, Xena! Is something bothering you?
Xena : Other than your *STENCH*?
Mephistopheles : [angrily] WHAT?
-
Mephistopheles : [rejoicing after being sent on earth] I AM *AT LAST* MADE *FLESH*!
Xena : [scoffs] Enjoy it while it lasts!
[Mephistopheles charges towards Xena and they fight]
-
Xena : Gabrielle?
Mephistopheles : [Gabrielle is being possessed by Mephistopheles] She's with me, Xena!
Xena : Mephistopheles, why are you doing this to my family?
Mephistopheles : [possessed in Gabrielle's body] I seek the Messenger of Eli... your daughter!
Xena : What do you want with her?
Eve : [Eve runs into the room] He knows I can do this...
[pause]
Eve : In the name of Eli and all the powers of Heaven, I command this evil presence to be cast out!
[she touches Gabrielle's body, but nothing happens]
Xena : [to Mephistopheles] Why have you come here?
Mephistopheles : [possessed through Gabrielle] You killed the Olympian gods, Xena. The time has come for my reign to begin! I shall inherit the Earth! When your blood is spilled, Eve, I'll be made flesh!
Xena : It will never happen Mephistopheles! Never!
Mephistopheles : [possessed through Gabrielle] Your mother cried out for you, Xena... even at the end.
Mephistopheles : [Mephistopheles shows Xena a vision of what happened to her mother when she was burned at the stake and cried out her name as she was dying] I helped eat her soul, Xena! She'll spend eternity reliving only agony you put into her life! Unless you spill your daughter's blood and bring me into the world.
Eve : No!
[Eve repeats her chant]
Mephistopheles : Damn you! I leave this body, Xena, but I'll keep your mother's soul! Do you want your mommy? Release me into the world!
Xena : Again, Eve. Do it again, now!
[Eve repeats her chant and Mephistopheles is cast out of Gabrielle's body]
-
Mephistopheles : You can't hurt me in the spirit world... Xena!
Xena : [smirks] No harm in trying!
-
Gabrielle : Xena... Xena! Wait! You cannot spill your daughter's blood.
Xena : It's better than the beating she was taking in there.
Gabrielle : You will bring hell onto Earth! After all the evil we've seen, you want to unleash that onto the world?
Xena : My mother's soul is trapped, my daughter is half dead, and the portal to hell opened up in my backyard! I am going to face Mephistopheles, Gabrielle--it is the only way!
Gabrielle : You cannot kill every demon from hell!
Xena : I only need to kill one, and he will never expect me to...
Gabrielle : [Gabrielle has a look of concern and realization] To what? To what?
Xena : To take his place. Mephistopheles said whoever kills the king of hell must take his place.
Gabrielle : [Whispers] Xena...
Xena : I will cross that bridge when I come to it, but I am *not* going to let Mephistopheles torment my family any longer! Do ya hear me?
Gabrielle : Eve... Eve, your destiny is to stop this evil, not bring it into the world.
Xena : We make our own destiny in this family. Eve, the choice is yours.
Eve : Yes.
Eve : Destiny comes to pass in strange ways. I'll fulfill mine--I'll deliver Mephistopheles into the only hands capable of beating him.
[to Gabrielle]
Eve : Will you help me?
-
[Xena and Gabrielle hug]
Xena : Glad to have you back. Gabrielle, Mephistopheles has my mother. I've got to find a way to release her soul, but cleansed or not, I want you out of here.
Gabrielle : Where do you want me to go?
Xena : Mephistopheles is using you!
Gabrielle : I'm not leaving!
Eve : He can't take her; she's been cleansed.
Gabrielle : He's afraid of you.
