- Gabrielle: Your mother will be so happy to see you.
- Sarah: How could she ever love me again, after what I've become?
- Eve: You don't know mothers very well, do you?
- Sarah: You don't understand. I've done terrible things. How can I ever be forgiven?
- Gabrielle: [Gabrielle, Xena and Eve exchange looks] Are you ever in the right company.
- Gurkhan: [motions to Gabrielle on the other side of the bedroom] Join us, little one...
- Xena: [Xena starts seducing Gurkhan, making him comfortable and relaxed on his bed. She suddenly puts the pinch on him, paralyzing his body so he can't move] Take that, ya dirty bastard!
- Xena: [Xena moves to Gabrielle and holds a very sharp dagger over her shoulder] If you're going to do it, do it now...
- [Gabrielle closes her eyes, takes the dagger and moves on Gurkhan]
- Gabrielle: [to Gurkhan] Are you afraid? Afraid like my mother? My father? Like my sister's husband? Right before you cut off their heads?
- [long pause]
- Gabrielle: If I kill you... you win. I become like you.
- [pause]
- Gabrielle: [Gabrielle comes back on top of Gurkhan] I hate you!
- [pause]
- Gabrielle: [Gabrielle starts beating the living daylights out of Gurkhan]
- Xena: [to the slaves girls in Gurkhan's harem] All right, girls... We're going on a cruise. Anyone care to come?
- Xena: [after dancing] I have a request.
- Gurkhan: Yes?
- Xena: Sarah's head on a plate!
- Gurkhan: [startled] Where did you hear that name?
- [pause]
- Gurkhan: [Gurkhan chuckles] Very well, I'll give you Sarah's head!
- [he snaps his fingers to the guards]
- Sarah: [shocked] GURKHAN! How can you do this?
- [his guards lead Sarah in the dungeon]
- Xena: Gabrielle! Gabrielle, wait!
- [Xena approaches Gabrielle]
- Xena: I'm sorry Gabrielle.
- Gabrielle: Xena, my niece may still be in that harem.
- Xena: Well, we'll go after her first thing in the morning. If she's there, we'll get here out.
- Gabrielle: Xena, this is not just a rescue mission!
- Xena: What do you mean?
- Gabrielle: I want vengeance!
- [Heavens open up]
- Xena: You can't have blood, Gabrielle--blood will have blood.
- Gabrielle: Don't talk to me about consequences, Xena! That man murdered my mother and father... Now I kill him!
- Woman: In my village, the choices were: marry a sober poor man... or a drunk poor man. It was a toss-up, really. The sober men would be less likely to beat you... but the drunk men would be less likely to keep you pregnant all the time.
