- Otere: Xena. Xena, um, there's something that you might not remember that I've been wanting...
- Xena: Your father died defending his village against my army.
- Otere: [nods] Mmm-hmm...
- Xena: You must feel a lot of anger towards me...
- Otere: Yes, but in some strange way, I owe you something. I mean, you- you taught me how to stay alive...
- Xena: No! No, Otere. If you learn anything from that monster I used to be, it was how to stay dead. How to be numb to anything that is beautiful, or meaningful. And I can never ask your forgiveness, but I do ask that you let me help you build a new life. That's what my friend Gabrielle did for me.
- Otere: [pauses and then nods] All right.
- Xena: Thank you.
- [starts crying]
- Xena: I've got a lot of work to do.
