Xena: "Gabrielle ... Gabrielle ... The one morning I ask you to wake me up ... just when I get Zantar right where I want him I go and oversleep. Well, thank you very much! Rope ... rope ..."
 |
Xena: "Gabrielle, what's going on?" |
Xena: "Gabrielle, I was in a hurry. We ran out of rope."
Gabrielle: "You stole my favorite shirt? It's the only shirt that goes with this skirt, Xena. You used it to tie up that ... that smelly warlord. That's your excuse? You ran out of rope?"
Xena: "The good news is you found something else to wear."
Gabrielle: "It's a sack."
Xena: "How come you let Joxer sleep in so late?"
Gabrielle: "I was topless."
Joxer: "Good morning! Hi, Gabrielle. New outfit? Looks good."
Gabrielle: "I'm telling you, brown is not my color."
Xena: "Look, I like it. It has that rustic appeal."
Aprhodite: "Now look what you've done, you monster. I told you never to play with the bottle labeled ‘Passion.' It's totally explosive stuff."
Alesia: "Xena!"
Xena: "Alesia?"
Alesia: "Please, you have to save me from my evil Fairy God's Mother."
Xena: "Your evil Fairy God's Mother? Who's that?"
Alesia: "Her (Aphrodite)"
 |
Xena: "Let's hear it, Aphrodite. What's all this about?" |
Xena: "Alesia, how did you get here? Did you run away from home?"
Alesia: "Uh huh. Daddy got married. I don't like my step-mother so I came to find my Fairy God's Mother."
Xena: "Well, I think your father would be very worried. Maybe we can take you home. I'm sure we can work this out."
Alesia: "Then you'll be my Fairy God's Mother?"
Xena: "Just for a little while."
King Melos: "Darling, she means everything in the world to me."
Queen Mistria: "Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. It's not you she hates ... it's me."
Xena: "I better go and scout ahead."
Gabrielle: "I'll do it."
Xena: "Alesia, why'd you run away?"
Alesia: "I hate my new step-mother. I want to get rid of her so things can be the way they used to be."
Xena: "Oh."
Alesia: "I thought Aphrodite could help, but she couldn't."
Xena: "Well, maybe I can help."
Alesia: "Really? Okay, don't hurt her too bad."
Xena: "That's not what I had in mind."
Xena: "Listen, I was in your shoes too once. I had a step-father and I never got to know him. Now, I think that was a terrible mistake ... (Gabrielle does a swan dive out of a tree) ... Gabrielle, are you alright?"
Gabrielle: "Fine. What's this about a step-father? You never told me that."
Xena: "Yes I did, didn't I?"
Gabrielle: "No."
Xena: "Well, it's not important. I'm trying to help Alesia."
Gabrielle: "What, and I'm not? Xena, who just climbed that tree looking for Zantar's men?"
Xena: "So what did you see?"
Gabrielle: "They're right behind us."
Xena: "Alesia, I'll be back. Stay here with Gabrielle. She's gonna tell you a story."
Gabrielle: "I will?"
Xena: "Yes, you will. You're good at them."

Alesia: "I hope it has a happy ending." |
GABRIELLE'S STORY
| Featuring: | Gabrielle as the lovely Tyrella Xena as the evil Step-Mother, Sidero Aphrodite as the wicked Step-Sister, Pelia |
Once when ... once upon a time, there was a sweet, very young girl named ... Tyrella. She was happy even though she lived with her wicked step-mother, the meanest, crankiest, most horrid woman alive.
Step-Sister: "Mommy, look what my stupid step-sister did! She ruined my Calvinius Kleinius."
Both: "Tyrella !!!!"
Tyrella: "Yes, dear Step-Mother?"
Step-Mother: "There's a crease in Pelia's dress. Aren't you forgetting something?"
Tyrella: "I swept the floor, washed the dishes, cleaned the attic, dug up a new well, I've been terribly busy."
Step-Mother: "Well, get over it. You've neglected your most important duty."
Tyrella: "What could that possibly be?
Step-Mother: "My clipping."
Joxer: "Aaaauuuugggghhhhh!!!!!"
Gabrielle: "Joxer ... (smack) !"
Joxer: "But, that foot. What are you trying to do, scare the kid? ... What is it, honey?"
Alesia: "It's only a story, Joxer."
Aprhodite: "My little pookey's slipper ... Admit it, you miss the little monster ... As if, what's there to miss? The noise? The crying? The Fairy God's Mother rap? But, she did have potential ... ‘Fes up, girlfriend. You're suffering from empty nest syndrome. Your little boy, Cupid, is all grown up and now you're lonely ... She was kinda cute, wasn't she? ... No duh, you're problem is you didn't play the ‘mommy' gig long enough, you know ... You mean like stories and cuddles and that kinda stuff? I could do that. Do you think I could do that? ... Totally. She could be your personal mascot, the Demi-Goddess of Puppy Love ... Tubular! I am such a visionary."
Gabrielle: "Tyrella's step-mother reached out with her long, grotesque ..."
Alesia: "Wait. I know what happens next. Tyrella takes the clippers and stabs her evil step-mother over and over and over and over again."
Gabrielle: "Uh, no. No, Tyrella deals with her problems in a more positive way ..."
GABRIELLE'S STORY
Step-Sister: "Mommy, my stupid step-sister's ruined everything."
Both: "Tyrella !!!"
Tyrella: "Yes, Step-Mother dear?"
Step-Mother: "Can't you do anything right?"
Tyrella: "There is nothing wrong with the dress. Your anger is misplaced. It's a convenient way for you to avoid your deeper emotions. The same way that your mistreatment of me and my belongings is your way to avoid intimacy. You both need to get in touch with your inner child."
Step-Mother: (to Step-Sister) "You getting any of this?"
Aprhodite: "What a riot!"
Gabrielle: "And I suppose you could do better?"
Aprhodite: "Puh-lease. You didn't know your Auntie Aphrodite could tell stories, did ya? Well, I make them sizzle. Okay, here's what really happened ..."

Aprhodite: "Aphrodite, Goddess of Love. I've got a proposition for you ... not that kind of proposition. You guys want your brother back, right? I can help you if you do me a favor."
Zantar's Brother: "What kind of favor?"
Aprhodite: "Xena's got my little girl. You help me get her back, I'll help you get Zantar. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours ... stop it. You know what I mean."

Step-Father: "What do you say to your step-brother?"
Tyro: (an octave or 2 higher) "Thanks, Step-Brother dear."
Step-Father: "Don't be an idiot, Idiot. You can't wear that. You've got no way to get there, no social skills to speak of. In short, you're not going."
Xena: "Maybe we shouldn't let Joxer tell the story."
