Quotes
-
Xena : [to angel Callisto] What are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be floating on a cloud someplace...
Callisto : [smiles] Thanks to you. You saved me from an eternity in Hell and for that I owe you my soul.
Xena : You don't owe me anything...
Callisto : I've been purified by the waters of Heaven and yet, still all you see in me is a black heart.
Xena : I know that the old Callisto is dead but she's alive in my memory.
[pause]
Xena : Don't expect too much from me.
Callisto : I've come here to ask you not to interfere with Eli. He'll handle Ares on his own terms.
Xena : Ares' army's about to march on Pylos. Eli thinks he can stop them with a kind word. He can't. All I'm gonna do is give him a fighting chance.
Callisto : Eli has a destiny to fulfill. He's brought hope to the world and if that's to survive, he's gonna have to face this challenge alone...
[Callisto disappears]

Callisto : The new world can only be built on the foundation of the old one. The order of the Gods must fall. And you Eli, are the hammer.
[pause]
Callisto : There is no reason to be afraid. Your faith is stronger than any who have come before you.
Eli : Until now...
Callisto : You said it yourself. "All fear is the fear of loss and only through that fear can we truly love." You wouldn't have been chosen if you weren't afraid.
[Eli bows his head. Callisto appears beside him and kisses his cheek]
Callisto : Remember... in everything you do we are always with you.
[Eli starts to cry and Callisto disappears]

Callisto : Xena, my time has come to be reincarnated into the mortal world and the body that will bear my spirit has been ordained.
[pause]
Callisto : I can think of no greater mother than you...
Xena : It was you all along?
[pause]
Xena : You gave me this child?
Callisto : In the past, I destroyed your life Xena.
Xena : [on the verge of tears] And I destroyed yours...
[pause]
Xena : Maybe it's time that we both gave back what we once took from each other.
[Callisto touches Xena's stomach becomes the soul of the baby. A tear moves down Xena's face]
Eli : [as an angel] Love is the way.
[he disappears]
