Quotes 

• Gabrielle : [as bad guys are seen flying back from fighting]  Xena, that guy was mine!

  Xena : I can handle it!

  Gabrielle : Yeah, well, I can help you! Xena!

  Xena : Stay back Gabrielle!

  Gabrielle : [to herself]  I'm not a kid anymore. You think that she would know that!

  Gabrielle : You only help yourself.

  Ares, God of War : Aw, ultimately that is true but it doesn't mean I don't understand. Here, let me take a shot at this. Uh, Xena has been overprotective of you. She's been treatin' you like you're still...

  Mavican : I wanna kill her and I understand that killing you is the best way to meet her!

• Gabrielle : You said anyone could ask for your help.

  Xena : Years ago, Ares said to me that anyone who asks for his help doesn't deserve it. So when Mavican asked...

  Gabrielle : She lost.

  Ares, God of War : I really gotta be more careful with my riddles.
