| From
"Ides of March": |
"You
mean to tell me those stupid, maudlin missions she goes on are
gonna end her up in paradise?!"
|
"Oh.
Right... she cooks my family, destroys my
life.. and I end up in Hell while she gets another
shot. That's fair."
|
"I
wanted to cease existing, and you did your best to help... but
as you can see, it didn't take. They wouldn't let me off the hook
that easy."
|
"I
don't know... whoever it is that does the final judging. They
sent me to a place that makes Tartarus look like... -the Elysian
Fields. They call it Hell."
|
"My,
aren't you the clever girl? Yes, some people will be unhappy,
but everybody has their price... even the honorable Brutus.
Caesar's gonna give him Gaul and that should keep him smiling.
But it's you, my darling, it's you that I'm worried about. I'm
here to make you an offer."
|
"Do I? My lord gave me a thorough briefing as to what's
happened to you and Gabrielle since the last time we met. I know
everything about India and Eli. Ah-h... so you're not the only
clever girl now, Xena, are you? Gabrielle's on her way to a Roman
prison in the Appenines as we speak. So... -about my offer..."
|
"I
just keep coming back. In that way, I'm more dependable than
your chakram. My lord sees everything, Xena. And you don't have
to go through with this. I can arrange it for you and Gabrielle
and all her peaceful little friends.. to just walk out of here..
and no one gets hurt. And you and Gabrielle can live happily
ever after."
|
"There's
a reason you can't allow you and your partner peace. It's your
guilt, it motivates everything you do; torments you. Invite me
into your soul, and I can purge you of that guilt. I can cleanse
you of that shame.. that... drives you. I can give you peace if
you let me. What's it gonna be, Xena? Serenity and happiness,
or another ride in that wagon with your friend, Gabrielle? ..........Think
of your vision."
|
"Interesting."
|
"Don't
give me that confident look. You're about to die like a slave
and drag your friend with you, and it's all right by me."
|
"Making
Caesar dictator was his main concern. And once he's ruling...
-making him an agent of my lord will be easy. So, while you
lie here helpless; he's declaring himself emperor."
