| From
"Maternal Instincts": |
"A
child. I always wanted a child."
|
"Here’s
to the soul of such exquisite pain."
|
"Well,
that’s for me to know and you to find out. But I didn’t come here
to talk about me. I came to meet your precious little son... -Solon,
isn’t it? Flesh of your flesh, bone of your bone, blood of your
blood... -Can’t wait to see all that."
|
"You’ll do what? You’re
gonna make my life a living hell? Old hat, Dear. You did that
years ago, when you, uh; barbecued my family. But now it’s my
turn to host the cook-out! And where is the guest of honor?!
Solon. Solon, Dear. Come meet your Auntie Callisto."
|
"Gabrielle.
Clever you, fooling me with the old ‘bait and switch.’ Good
plan. After all; even I can’t be at two places at the same time,
now... -can I?"
|
"Hurts, doesn’t it? Losing your family. Rips out
your heart, your guts... your feelings. All that’s left is the
pain, right? Welcome to the club."
|
"Why
drag this out?! Can’t you see I bring you the gift of oblivion?!
Come out, come out, wherever you are? I promise it won’t hurt...
much. Dead end."
|
"You
don’t seem to get it, do you? You’ve won. All these years I’ve
spent... living to destroy you? Thinking that only if I could
give you the same pain that you gave me, I’d be rid of it... and
life would go on. And then I do.. -and nothing changes. I don’t
feel better... just empty. So you let me go, Xena. You can’t win
this battle. And you’ve already won the war."
|
|
From
"The Bitter Suite":
|
"What
difference does it make? You came here for the truth, and the
truth is that Xena made us both. She shaped our lives, changed
our fates... killed our familes."
|
"Because
of Xena, you had a daughter. Her hatred for Caesar took you to
Brittania."
|
"Straight
to Dahak, where she deserted you. Isn't that right? Isn't that
right? "
|
"And
you hate her for it, don't you? For betraying you? For failing
you? You hate her, don't you? Don't you? Don't you?!"
|
"Absorb
thyself in this great sea of the waters of life. Dive deep in
it, until thou hast lost thyself. And having lost thyself, then
thou shalt find thyself again. Even as it is written, "She had
her dwelling in the great sea... and was a fish therein."
Aleph am I. From mine unfathomable will, the universe hath its
beginning. In my boundless wisdom are the types and patterns of
all things."
|
"Changeless,
this great deep of elemental water remaineth forever pure. Because
of this, it possesseth the quality of stability. From water
do all forms have their beginning. "

From
"Sacrifice I":
|
"Hi,
Honey, I’m home. Ah, well, there you are. Hello, Pumpkin. Your
Auntie Callisto’s brought you a little treat. It is what you wanted,
isn’t it? They called him the, the... 'priest to the flesh.'’
Now; shall I carve, or will you?"
|
"Hmm,
not happy to see me, are you? Neither am I, really. But I’ve
got a plan to solve both of our problems."
|
"Oh,
Xena... tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk. I tell you about it, and the first
thing you know; -you’ll be trying to stop me. You just trust
me. You’re gonna love it. Well... ’least half of it."
|
"You
know, it’s funny that I keep this thing around. I don’t really
need it. It’s just for decoration... and for fun. I don’t know
if I’m toying with you, or you’re toying with me. Oh; -you can’t
beat me, Xena. You can only... you can only delay me. Uh.. sorry,
Xena, but I’m on a schedule. Oh, yes."
|
"Yes,
I know who you serve, you little worm. She and I are old friends.
I’ve already given her the priest of the flesh, and now she’s
waiting for the priest of the blood. And just.. guess who gets
that honor?"
|
"I
want oblivion. I want my life to end. I want it it all to stop.
No nothing! No memories, no Tartarus, nothing! And I know, I
know she can do it. Now, does she agree?"
|
"You
should’ve been my child; you know that? But, that’s OK. Oooh...
such power, it’s almost scary. Daughter of Dahok, with the power
of her father behind her. Yes.. it’s quite... -scary."
|
"Quiet!
We’ve got a visitor. Oh, she’s so good. I’ll be right back!"
|
"Oh,
you figured it out, did you? Well, no can do. She’s not quite
up to snuff at the moment. She’s cocooned; helpless. She needs
her Auntie Callisto. And you would just run her through."
|
"What
is this? Some kind of martyrdom phase you’re going through? I
could kill you in an instant. Nice try, but that threat worked
when I was only a mortal. But, I’m a god now, Xena... Welcome
to my world. Now, get ready to leave it."
|
"Oh,
clever, clever girl. You want me to use my powers in here, so
all these stupid rocks come tumbling down on me."
|
|
From
"Sacrifice II":
|
"Aw,
the mother and child reunion. I’m all misty-eyed."
|
"Like
you turned your back on precious little Gabrielle? Yeah, guess
you speak from experience, huh?"
|
"I
don’t know why you wanna look like her. She’s an annoying little-"
|
"So
be it. Hmm. Well, it is a good disguise, and... it’ll attract
less attention than walking around naked, I suppose."
|
"Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Glory, Hallelujah; -but first, your promise.
Come on. Kill me."
|
"I’m
not here to fight with you, Xena -just wanna chat."
|
"No,
actually.. the sight of her and Ares rolling around like weasels
made me sick."
|
"For
a price. I help you put Dahok back in the bottle, and you help
me die. I figure you got a bead on that hind’s-blood dagger.
Hercules probably told you where it was. It can kill a god,
you know. So, how about it? I scratch your back, you stab mine."
|
"Oh,
please! Who said anything about suffering. Really, it’s more
of a boredom thing, an emptiness, really. Anyways, I’m disappointed
in you, Xena. The sensible thing would be to enlist me on your
side. You’re taking this far, far too personal."
|
"A
girl’s gotta have some fun."
|
"No
need for firewood with me around... This is probably the last
night sky either one of us will ever see."
|
"Do
it! Gut her! Then it’s my turn!"
|
"I
never thought I’d feel so good again! Seeing poor, dear Gabrielle
sacrifice herself makes it all worthwhile. It finally gives
me a reason, for living, and I have you to thank for it, Xena!"
