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.

• 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.

• Gabrielle : [after Xena failed to send Lucifer into the portal of Hell]  You were supposed to throw him in the portal.

  Xena : Yeah? Well, he wasn't ready!

  Gabrielle : Xena, no one is *ready* to go to Hell. That's the point.

  Xena : Really? Well, you and Virgil were lookin' ready to burn not long ago!

  Gabrielle : [shrugs]  Yeah? So what?

  Xena : [smiles]  Evil, the dark side! It's intoxicating, isn't it?

  Gabrielle : Oh yeah, it's intoxicating!

• 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 : [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.

• [Virgil tries to fill Gabrielle's cup with more wine] 

  Gabrielle : No, no, I've had enough!

  Virgil : Perhaps. But it would help us bridge a gap more easily since we last saw each other.

  Gabrielle : You mean it would make me drunk and loose.

  Virgil : No one understands my words better than you, Gabrielle.

• Gabrielle : Thought I had lost you for a minute there.

  Xena : Yeah, which minute was that?

  Gabrielle : You and Lucifer were looking , um... a little... uh...

  Xena : Gabrielle, every time I felt myself lose control, I just thought of you -- you led me back home.

  Gabrielle : Now don't go getting all emotional on me, Xena.
