Xena: "Okay, where's the bag."
Aphrodite: "Genia has it."
Xena: "Where's Genia?"
Aphrodite: "Oh, I popped her back to the marketplace. She might as well shop while she's waiting."
Xena: "What?"
Aphrodite: "Oh, don't thank me. Just doing the god thing."
Xena: "Aphrodite, the zealots are looking for her there!"
Aphrodite: "Huh?"
Gabrielle: "Robe … altar … human sacrifice."
Aphrodite: "That was a true story?"
Ferragus: "Dumpty-dumpty-dumpty-do … [opening up Aphrodite's bag] … Wait a minute. No! No! I knew that Anthrax looked familiar. Xena! Worming her way into my lair! Stealing my helmet! I'll kill her!"
Zarat: "Perhaps, I could be of some assistance." … [holding out the bag]
Ferragus: [realizing it's empty] … "Where's the helmet?"
Zarat: "Oh, you can have it back, if we can make a deal."
Ferragus: "I'm listening."
Aphrodite: "There's no sign of Genia anywhere."
Gabrielle: "This is my fault."
Aphrodite: "No! It's my fault! I cast a spell on her."
Gabrielle: "Yeah, but I switched the bags. If I hadn't been so suspicious at the tavern, this wouldn't have happened."
Xena: "Gabrielle!" … [finding one of Genia's shoes]
Gabrielle: "What'd you find?"
Aphrodite: "She's been sacrificed!"
Xena: "Maybe not yet. There's a zealot temple two miles down the road. I'm guessing they'd want to do it there."
 |
Aphrodite: "Okay, so what I can do to help? I can cast a spell … [seeing the look of horror on Xena and Gabrielle's faces] … or maybe not." |
[In the zealot temple, Genia is chained down to an altar. Above her, a large slab of stone with sharp spikes looms above her.]
Zarat: "Almighty Master, we ask you one more time, take this virgin sacrifice and protect us from our enemies!"
Xena: "Zarat!"
Zarat: "Xena! Haven't you ever heard of religious freedom?"
Xena: "Freedom has nothing to do with sacrificing Genia or anyone else, and neither has religion. This ends here."
Zarat: "We'll see."
[Ferragus floats into view with the helmet of Hermes on.]
Xena: "Stay out of this, Ferragus! I'll deal with you later."
Ferragus: "I don't think so. You see? In exchange for the helmet, I promised Zarat here I'd take you out of the picture."
Gabrielle: "Since when do warlords keep their promises?"
Ferragus: "Since I wanted to kick your butt anyway!"
[Ferragus and Xena begin to duke it out.]
Ferragus: [momentarily getting the upper hand] … "What's the matter, Xena? Losing your touch?"
Xena: "Touch this!" … [opens up a can of some serious whoop-ass]
Xena: [swipes the helmet off of a dazed Ferragus] … "Thank you! Gabrielle, catch!"
[Xena beats off a few more priests and rescues Genia. Zarat takes off after Gabrielle and the helmet.]
Xena: "Gabrielle!"
Zarat: "Up here … [with Gabrielle at knife point] …You may have stopped this sacrifice, Xena, but that's all. I will find other followers. Perhaps my next tribe will offer their sacrifices to me." … [puts on the helmet and jumps off the balcony … and lands face first on the floor]
Xena: "Or not."
Genia: "What happened? He was wearing the helmet."
Xena: "He was wearing a helmet."
Gabrielle: "Xena had me switch the helmets just in case."
Genia: "So, where's the helmet of Hermes?"
Aphrodite: "Right here, Sweet Pea."
Genia: "I can't believe I was going to give my life away to them."
Frankus: "Genia! Genia, I was afraid I'd be too late."
Genia: "Frankus, I'm sorry, but we can't be together."
Frankus: "It's 'cause of the old man, isn't it?"
Genia: "No, Xena's shown me that I can't live my life following others. I have to be my own person and chase my own dreams. We can still be friends.
Genia: "Xena, you and Gabrielle are gonna have to go along without me."
Xena: "Oh, you're sure?"
Genia: "Before we met, I thought the best thing I could do with my life was throw it away. But now I found something worth living for."
Xena: "What?"
Genia: "I'm turning the convent into a shelter for those in need."
Xena: "Well, that is great."
Gabrielle: "Good for you."
Genia: "Oh, I almost forgot … [gives Gabrielle a flower] … happy birthday."
Xena: "Speaking of which, we have got a show to catch."
Aphrodite: "Have fun, you two … [looking at Genia and Frankus] … So, friends? I can work with that. Some of my best friends are friends. But, we need to rethink the whole retro-sacrificial thing."
Xena: "I'm really sorry, Gabrielle. I didn't realize Sappho was only here for one performance."
Gabrielle: "It's the thought that counts, Xena, although I would like to hear her read her poetry one day. You know, how did you fall for my fish guts gag?"
Xena: "I don't know."
 |
Gabrielle: "You knew that I would go crazy waiting for you to get even. Xena, didn't see it coming." … [tries to take a drink out of a cup, which promptly spills all over her] |
 |
Xena: "Here, give me that … [taking dribble cup away from Gabs] … I want you to close your eyes." |
 |
Gabrielle: "What is this?" |
 |
'... There's a moment when I look at you |
 |
 |
Gabrielle: "It's beautiful. This is the best birthday present I have ever had." |
