Quotes 

• Gabrielle : [as bad guys are seen flying back from fighting]  Xena, that guy was mine!

  Xena : I can handle it!

  Gabrielle : Yeah, well, I can help you! Xena!

  Xena : Stay back Gabrielle!

  Gabrielle : [to herself]  I'm not a kid anymore. You think that she would know that!

• Mavican : [while fighting Xena]  No weapons, no Gabrielle. Just you and me! What's the matter Xena? Can't get in that killing blow? Oh, wait Ares said you can't kill me! Just too much on your mind to fight straight, huh? And the sun's going down. What kind of a fighter are you in the dark?

  Xena : You know what, sweetie? You *talk* too much!

• Ares, God of War : Hey! Just stop it! Stop it right now!

  [column falls and Ares looks outraged] 

  Ares, God of War : What in the name of me do you think you're doing?

  Mavican : Getting your attention!

  Ares, God of War : By destroying Demeter's temple? No. See, destroying temples in the name of other gods, we just don't do it.

  Mavican : Who cares about her? I'll destroy a thousand of her temples if I have to! I told you I was good. Tell him! Tell him how good I am, Xena!

  Xena : Good enough to die young.

• Xena : I don't get it, Ares. All this just to see your new girlfriend fight?

  Ares, God of War : No. Watch my old girlfriend fight. I missed it.

• Mavican : I hate to kill you, Xena. There's so many things I could learn from you. Like how do you know when you're about to be attacked?

  Xena : Just always assume you will be.

  Mavican : Oh, so it's more philosophical than a gift. Must be tiring on the soul. Thanks.

• Mavican : Ares! Ares! Help me! Help me!

  Ares, God of War : Mavican, are you asking for my help?

  Mavican : Yes, I'm asking for your help, God of War!

  Xena : She's asking for your help.

  [Xena looks triumphant. Ares opens the portal home and Xena jumps through] 

  Mavican : What are you doing, Ares? You said I could ask!

  Ares, God of War : Yeah, I said you could. I never said you should.

• Gabrielle : You said anyone could ask for your help.

  Xena : Years ago, Ares said to me that anyone who asks for his help doesn't deserve it. So when Mavican asked...

  Gabrielle : She lost.

  Ares, God of War : I really gotta be more careful with my riddles.
