Quotes 

• Alti : What's she told you about me, little girl? Has she told you about my powers? Has she told you about this?

  [Alti used her powers to show Gabrielle how she's going to die crucified with Xena] 

  Alti : That's my gift to you! That's your future! She's responsible for your death!

  Xena : You bitch!

• Gabrielle : I guess it's a day for changes.

  Xena : Oh, yeah. How does this feel?

  Gabrielle : Feels pretty good. I wish I had some word in it, though. You know? It was like this in that vision.

  [about her hair] 

  Xena : I know. I've been thinking about that.

  Gabrielle : Xena, Alti was evil. Why should we believe anything she showed us? The menhdi contains the truth. I wish there was some way that... that we could do that again, just... just to really know.

  Xena : Naima could have told us.

  Gabrielle : Yeah. There's so many questions I wish I had asked her, about what this all means. You know what she said? She said that your karma and mine... they're intertwined.

  Xena : Well, maybe it's not the first time we've walked down this road, huh?

  Gabrielle : Maybe it won't be the last. How would I recognize you?

  Xena : We need a sign. This way, no matter how we look, we'll always remember the women we were.

  [She paints a cross on her foot] 

  Xena : Like it?

  Gabrielle : I love it.

• Naima : Thank you, Xena. You destroyed Alti at the one time in her karma when she was most powerful.

  Xena : The one time?

  Naima : Oh, yes. Her soul is not destroyed. It will return many times, filled with evil, but you will always be there to meet it. And you, Gabrielle, you both walk a path together. Think of yourselfves as lines in the menhdi, separated but forever connected. Menhdi contains truth.

• Gabrielle : It's the latest rage in India. You know what they say: 'When in Rome... '

  Xena : Oh, please.

  Gabrielle : OK, different analogy. Uhm... when you want to fly with eagles...

  Xena : Don't dress like a turkey?
