- Ares: [to Xena] You want more than just living. Danger excites you. And as you know, I am somewhat dangerous. Action and power draw you like a moth to a flame.
- Grathios: [at the trial] You say the surviving man - Teracles? - he had his money scattered around in the dirt?
- Grathios: If we hadn't gotten there quick as we did, she'd've picked him clean, too.
- Gabrielle: Hmm - then where's the money? If she had already robbed everybody else, where did she put the money?
- Grathios: So she - threw away... to come back for it later - I don't know.
- Gabrielle: When the rest of you showed up, she could've killed you, too...
- Villagers: True. True.
- Gabrielle: No witnesses. Now, why didn't she do that?
- Grathios: Hey, if she wasn't guilty, why'd she run away?
- Gabrielle: Nobody here cares that she didn't kill anyone. Nobody cares that she was only trying to help! Nobody believes that she fought the real murderer! All you care about is executing someone! I'd've run away, too - so would you.
- Ares: Shall we drink to us?
- Xena: I'm a little concerned about something. If I do have to escape, the whole village'll be after me and I won't have my sword. How do I fight my way out of there?
- Ares: My dear, do you honestly think I won't supply you with whatever's necessary?
- [he picks up a bottle of wine]
- Ares: This particular wine really is delicious.
- Xena: You did all this - just to get me back. I'm flattered. Well, if I'm going to be your warrior again...
- Ares: No, not just my warrior. You'll be - the architect of a new world - my kind of world - where force of arms keeps the peace and one great Warrior Queen rules.
- Xena: You're irresistible. But I suppose you already know that. I'll have to have a new army.
- Ares: Whatever you want, whom - ever you want - the most legendary fighters in history if you'd like.
- Xena: Hector? Achilles? Agamemnon? They're long gone.
- Ares: I'm Ares, god of war. For you - I'll bring them back and anyone else you desire.
- Xena: Anyone? I just want to be sure of the deal.
- Ares: Anyone you name.
- Xena: As long as I have your word.
- Ares: You have my word - my pledge - whatever you want.
- Xena: It's almost time. See you later, then.
- Xena: You coming back for me really meant a lot after what I did to you.
- Gabrielle: I trust you. I never thought for a moment you meant to hurt me.
- Xena: Well, I owe you. Thanks.
- Gabrielle: I owe you, too.
- [she tries to slug Xena but ends up hurting her hand]
- Gabrielle: Ahh!
- Xena: What was that?
- Gabrielle: Paybacks for hitting me.
- Xena: Feel better?
- Gabrielle: I think I broke my hand - but, I do feel better.
- Xena: Good - so do I.
