Quotes 

• Gabrielle : Your mother loves you.

  Eve : Then why is she trying to destroy me?

  Gabrielle : Xena wants to protect you. She won't fight you.

  Eve : Well, maybe she just hasn't been properly motivated.

  [Livia puts a blade to Gabrielle's throat] 

• Eve : Time to put you out of my misery.

• Xena : Listen to your heart.

  Eve : My heart is a traitor.

• Eve : Rome needs no mother.

• Eve : Eli's followers are vermin. They hide amongst true Romans, spreading like a sickness. If a few innocents must die to stop their heresy... so be it. And if it vexes Xena... so much the better!

• Eve : Good - the sheep are all here. Aren't you afraid of me? You think Eli's gonna save you? Glad you could make it, Xena. I hope you're not going to ruin my day with more of your excruciating mother-daughter platitudes.

  Xena : No. I'm done talking, Livia.

• 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.
