Varia : [as she observes an old scar on Eve's leg] That old scar's a bad one. Take a look at this.
[Varia shows Eve a larger scar on her shoulder]
Eve : Wow...
Varia : A Roman short sword. The man who did it died before he had time to wipe his blade!
Eve : Hmm...
[Eve shows another scar left on her back]
Eve : Gaelic spear. The man who did it, his entire regiment, his village and two neighboring villages; destroyed before the sun went down!
-
Eve : The quiet after a tough battle...
Varia : Yeah.
Eve : Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat, death so close, then suddenly driven away!
[pause]
Eve : No, I don't miss it.
Varia : Will you teach me some moves?
Eve : Will you use them to hurt others?
Varia : For defense only.
Eve : Okay.
[Cut to a scene where Varia uses one of Eve's fighting methods to fight an Amazon]
Eve : Very good! You're a natural.
Varia : Thanks!
[pause]
Varia : Come on. Show me another one!
Eve : [sulks] No, I can't!
Varia : Admit you enjoyed teaching me that.
Eve : It was all right...
Varia : Then one more. Your best move!
Eve : Okay. Say you're being charged by two lines of infantry and you don't have the angle to flip over them? You do this!
[Eve runs at Varia. She grabs Varia's shoulders and flips over her and does her battle yell; Eve lands, puts her foot on Varia's back and then throws Varia over her]
Eve : See, that'll put you right through...
Varia : [Varia suddenly holds her sword at Eve's throat] I've only seen one warrior do that move! I knew I recognized you from someplace! You're LIVIA, THE BITCH OF ROME!

Varia : Now she must pay!
Marga : Our law says Eve must die.
Gabrielle : I can't let that happen, Marga.
Marga : Are you challenging me?
Gabrielle : If it comes to that, I *am* challenging you.
Marga : [Marga takes a moment to think] The woman did save my life, and we *do* need Xena. We'll wait until after this is resolved before we deal with her.
