Gabrielle : Michael?
Xena : He said that Eve would prepare the way for the rule of the God of Love.
Gabrielle : And you're to protect her?

Tisiphone : Is it true he could breathe fire?
Gabrielle : No, no... He was a man made of flesh and blood, like you. That's why his mission was so important.
Tisiphone : You see Jeb--now I want you to take that fire-breathing stuff out of your scroll. Tell us more please.

Aphrodite : [Aphrodite appears] It's so sad.
Xena : Well if you care so much, why don't you cure her?
Aphrodite : Gods can only heal with Athena's blessing. That's not gonna happen.
Xena : Then take us to to Olympus.
Aphrodite : Why?
Xena : I want to offer them a deal.
Aphrodite : And you'll kill them if they don't accept?
Xena : Please.. Gabrielle doesn't have much time.
Aphrodite : Alright, I'll take you to Olympus.

Eve : Mother?
Xena : [Xena kneels down in front of Eve] What is it, Eve?
Eve : Nothing, I just wanted to say it. I've never called anyone Mother before.
Xena : I just wish I had've seen you grow up. Bet you were a beautiful little girl.
Eve : I was. I liked spiders.
Xena : [Xena smiles] Me too.
[Eve coughing]

Ares : [Ares appears] Quite a load you've got there.
[Xena points crossbow at Ares]
Ares : Take it easy. I'm here to make you an offer.
Eve : Like she'd trust anything you said, you lying bastard!
[Clutching Xena's leg on the ground]
Ares : We'll make you a god.
Xena : And what about Eve and Gabrielle?
Ares : Gabrielle we can negotiate, but Eve... She's our death warrant; she has to die.
[Xena repositions crossbow at Ares]
Ares : . Ya know, this is the second time since you became Xena: Slayer of Gods that we've faced off one-on-one, and you still haven't been able to pull the trigger.
[Xena pulls the trigger, shooting Ares in the leg, hitting him in the face, and wrapping him in Hephaestus' chains]
