Hudson Leick: Callisto

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]
