Xena: Warrior Princess (TV Series)

Heart of Darkness (2000)

Adrienne Wilkinson: Eve

Quotes 

• Eve : I can feel it... there's something evil here. Something's not right.

  Gabrielle : That's because you're standing next to the portal to hell.

• Eve : The heart can betray but the sword never lies.

• Xena : Eve, sweetheart... if you can't stand the heat... then maybe you should get the hell out of my kitchen!

  Eve : Or stay and put out the fire.

  [Gabrielle hits Eve on the head with a metal fish statue] 

  Gabrielle : No one likes a party-pooper.

• Eve : You may not be descending to Mephistopheles' throne voluntarily, but obviously it's coming up to claim its new queen...

  Xena : You mean its rightful ruler.

  Gabrielle : That would be you.

  Xena : Not if I can find someone else to take my place.

  [looks at Lucifer] 

  Xena : Him.

  Gabrielle : You're gonna turn an archangel into the king of Hell?

  Xena : Oh, he's less of an angel than I am. He just doesn't know it yet!

  Gabrielle : So, how do you plan on making him *see* the light?

  Xena : [coolly]  By showing him how much he's gonna *love* the dark!

• Eve : Eli says, "To corrupt another is to corrupt yourself..."

  Xena : Evie!

  [She stands and leads Eve with her to look at Lucifer] 

  Xena : Listen. Fruit rots from the inside out. It's not called corruption if you just peel away the layers to expose the rotten core.

  [pause] 

  Xena : That is, unless you want Mommy to go to Hell.

  [Eve shakes her head] 

  Xena : Well, then...

• Eve : [when Xena and her friends crashes the temple to party]  Mother, your purpose will not be served by subjecting this temple or this town to further desecration!

  Xena : It's not desecration, Eve! We're just throwing a farewell bash for our celestial guest, assuming that he'll give us the pleasure.

  Lucifer : The pleasure's all mine, Xena; because the farewell I'll be celebrating is yours.

  Gabrielle : You should listen to your mother, Eve. She knows what she's doing.

  Eve : I wouldn't be so sure, Gabrielle! Not anymore.
