- Gabrielle: [on following Xena] I'm going to be a warrior like her!
- Lila: A warrior?
- [laughs]
- Lila: Gabrielle, *I* can beat you up!
- Gabrielle: Yeah, well, you're very strong for your age. Lila, you know I'm different from everybody else in this town.
- Lila: I know you're crazy.
- Gabrielle: Well, call it whatever you like. The point is, I don't fit in here. And the idea of marrying Perdicas...
- Lila: He loves you, you know!
- Gabrielle: But I don't love him.
- [pause]
- Gabrielle: I've got to do this, Lila!
- Lila: [hugs Gabrielle] I'm gonna miss you so much!
- Gabrielle: Cheer up. You'll finally have a room of your own! Take care of Mother. Don't let her carry the water from the well by herself.
- Lila: All right.
- [Gabrielle leaves]
- Xena: [as Gabrielle pressures Xena to take her with her] I travel alone.
- Gabrielle: So, where are you headed now?
- Xena: Amphipolis.
- Gabrielle: That's in Thrace, isn't it? I love to study maps and place names! So, what route do you usually take?
- Xena: Don't even *think* about it.
- Gabrielle: What?
- Xena: Following me.
- [pause]
- Xena: You don't want to make me mad now, do ya?
- [Gabrielle smiles and shakes her head]
