- Xena: [Xena draws her sword on the beach] Show yourself! I know you're there!
- [Ares appears on Xena's sword]
- Xena: Ares...
- Ares, God of War: [smirks] You want to move this so we can talk?
- Xena: [smirks back] Oh, I don't know, I kind of like the look of it there!
- Roman soldier: [to Gabrielle, who is being crucified] Caesar wanted one more thing. Your legs are to be broken. He said it would mean something to Xena.
- Xena: [smiling after slashing the Deliverer with her breast dagger] Well that answers one question. You can get hurt.
- [the Deliverer roars]
- Xena: [laughs] You get pretty mad too.
- [the Deliverer growls]
- Xena: Come and get me then. You half witted toady to a third-rate god, come and get me! Come on.
- [the Deliverer attacks, Xena flips out of his way. He looks over his shoulder in anger. Xena smirks at him]
- Xena: What's the matter? A mere mortal giving you a problem? I thought your God was all powerful or something.
- Deliverer: You can't talk of the great Dahak like that.
- Xena: Great? Great at what?
- Xena: [circling] All I've seen is a lame attempt at a religion and some fancy fireworks. Are you sure he's what you think he is? Maybe he's got you fooled too?
- [the Deliverer roars in anger, attacks, and Xena flips him into the fire pit]
- Gabrielle: Well, what is a mountain, but just a bunch of boulders right? And, what is a rock but a large grain of sand? And what is a large grain of sand? Y- you see my theory, here?
- Xena: No.
- Gabrielle: And that doesn't bother you at all, does it?
- Xena: What possible use is this information to us, huh?
- Gabrielle: Well, I haven't the slightest idea, but, well, hey, it gave us something to talk about since the last town, right?
- Xena: A town, towns, which are made up of houses, which, after all, are just large huts, which are made out of wood...
- Gabrielle: Stop.
- Xena: ...which are made out of trees, and, huh, hang on, trees are bigger than huts, so, there goes that theory.
- Gabrielle: You can be so frustrating, sometimes.
- [Xena lightly wacks her]
- Gabrielle: Hey, don't do that.
- Xena: [after Gabrielle murders for the first time] What happened?
- Gabrielle: Mer- Mer- Meridian.
- Xena: She's dead. Gabrielle, who did this?
- Gabrielle: I did. I killed her. I killed her, Xena.
- Xena: No, Gabrielle you couldn't.
- Gabrielle: No, I did. I just stabbed her. I stabbed...
- Xena: Accidentally, you...
- Gabrielle: No, I stabbed her. Xena, I murdered her.
