Kevin Smith: Ares

Quotes 

• Ares : Look, this is all blood under the bridge.

• Ares : [Livia goes to drink]  Kinda early for the hard stuff, huh?

  Ares : [Livia points her sword at him and advances]  Whoa... Down girl. We got some business.

  Livia : Take your business to my mother, your long-lost love. We've got nothing!

  Ares : Oh, grow up. I had a thing for Xena once, but no longer, so get over it and get even. Wouldn't you like that?

  Livia : What do you think? I was supposed to marry Augustus--I was destined to be the Emporess of the Empire, until she came back.

  Ares : So what's changed? We have an arrangement--you destroy the cult of Eli for me, I run a little divine intervention for you. Get you to be the Emporess of Rome.

  Livia : Where does Xena fit in to all of this?

  Ares : She doesn't, but you're going to have to kill her to keep her from stopping you.

  Livia : And the Twilight? Aren't you afraid?

  [Positions sword in his chest] 

  Livia : Aren't you afraid I'll bring about the end of your gods?

  Ares : When you were born, there was panic on Olympus. It cost Zeus his life, Hera vanished. Then, we thought you were dead for 25 years, and do you know what happened? Nothing. So the only power you have over us is our own fear. Reclaim your desinty, Livia--kill Xena.

• Ares : She's something, isn't she? Looks like Liva's nearly wracked up the body count you had at her age.

  Xena : She's my daughter, you sick bastard.

  Ares : Why do you think it was so easy to turn her? Look...

  [walking towards Xena] 

  Ares : This is all blood under the bridge. You give me a child, the other gods will never find out that Eve is still alive.

  Xena : I'd rather go to hell.

  Ares : [Moving towards her in a rage]  Dammit, I'm not asking you--I'm telling you!

  [Grabbing her shoulders and shaking her] 

  Ares : You give me what I want, or I will bring all of Olympus down on your daughter's head!

  Xena : The thought of being with you, or having your child... That sickens me.
