XENA: "Smell trouble?"
CYCLOPS: "It's you!"
XENA: "You lost some weight since I saw you last. I guess that job I did on your eye, must have cut down on the people eating, huh?"
CYCLOPS: "Ever since you blinded me, a day hasn't gone by when I haven't dreamt of tasting your flesh."
XENA: "You know you should find a different line of work."
CYCLOPS: "Like what? I'm a blind Cyclops for crying out loud!"
XENA: "You could hire yourself out to a village as a protector. Even a blind Cyclops would scare most folks off and the villagers would probably toss you a, a sheep every now and again for payment."
CYCLOPS: "Sheep?  How could you start eating mutton, when you're used to human flesh?"
XENA: "Suit yourself."
GAR: "Xena was spotted riding toward the Strymon Pass."
DRACO: "Hector take two men and cut through the Pass.  Pick up her trail and send word as soon as she's entered her home valley. We'll march right into Amphipolis and torch everything in sight and spread the word that we're doing it on Xena's orders. Thenshe'll  know."
HECTOR: "Know what?"
DRACO: "There's no rest for the wicked."
GABRIELLE: "The bridge will hold me up. The bridge will hold me up. The bridge will hold me up. The bridge! Being an adventuress isn't that hard."
CYCLOPS: "Gotcha!"
GABRIELLE: "Immortal father Zeus in Heaven, curse this brute if he eats me! Torture him with the slain
serpent's blood and the crow's droppings!"
CYCLOPS: "Shut up!  I hate chatty food."
GABRIELLE: "I know Xena, the Warrior Princess."
CYCLOPS: "I hate Xena, the Warrior Princess she blinded me. It'll give me great pleasure to rip one of her friends apart with my teeth."
GABRIELLE: "Friends! Who said anything about friends?  I've been tracking her to kill her."
CYCLOPS: "How is a young thing like you gonna kill Xena?"
GABRIELLE: "That's the point she'd never let a man get close enough to do her. At least not that kind of do her. But a young innocent looking girl like me I'll catch her totally off guard, cut her evil throat and hack off her Cyclops blinding hands."
CYCLOPS: "You're really gonna mess her up. Huh?"
GABRIELLE: "You know what I think I'll do to her?"
CYCLOPS: "What?"
GABRIELLE: "Blind her gouge out them eyeballs and bring `em back to you. It'll make a nice little appetizer, don't you think?"
CYCLOPS: "Ooh, you'd do that for me?"
GABRIELLE: "I feel we're bonded in our hate for this she demon."
CYCLOPS: "Ooh Go on and if you bring me a leg too, I'd appreciate it."
GABRIELLE: "A leg She's got two doesn't she?  You'll get them both."
CYCLOPS: "And maybe a, a"
GABRIELLE: "Hey!  Let's not get greedy."
CYCLOPS: "Oh, sorry."
GABRIELLE: "Xena's blood or die!"
CYCLOPS: Laughs
GABRIELLE: "Thank the gods for dumb Cyclopses.
HECTOR: "What do you think?"
XENA: "I think you got a sore throat. I've just blocked off the flow of blood to your brain. You'll be dead in twenty seconds unless I release you. Now why are you following me? Ten seconds."
HECTOR: "Draco, he sent me."
XENA: "Draco."
HECTOR: "He plans to destroy your home valley."
XENA: "You'll regain feeling in a few minutes."
MAN: "Hmm? oh by the Heavens.
MAN: Mumbles.
MAN: Hey, hey!  Are you dead?"
GABRIELLE: "Where are you headed?"
MAN: "Amphipolis."
GABRIELLE: "Oh it worked!  I have been lying here, supplicating myself to the great god Hermes, the god of travellers, begging him to send someone who's on the way to Amphipolis.  Hah! And here you are it's a miracle, don't you think?"
MAN: "Not really.  This is the road to Amphipolis.  Anybody that'd come along here would've been headed there."
GABRIELLE: "Yeah but not everybody's a kindly old man who'll give me a ride."
MAN: "You're right about that.  I know I'm not gonna give you a ride."
GABRIELLE: "Oh no no you've got to.  I'll never make it by myself. I didn't bring enough food. I've already gotten lost twice. I wore the wrong shoes. Look!"
MAN: "Look, I'm sorry but I ain't got any room."
GABRIELLE: "My father will give you a handsome reward when we reach Amphipolis. He's very rich."
MAN: "What's his name?"
GABRIELLE: "Dolan."
MAN: "Dolan The horse breeder?"
GABRIELLE: "Best horses in Thrace.  I'll make sure he gives you a fresh steed for your troubles."
MAN: Laughs  "There ain't no horse dealers in Amphipolis. It's all sheep country."
GABRIELLE: "I've been told that I'm very pleasant company on a trip. I can sing!  I know several poems which I recite with great passion. A travelling bard once gave me lessons. I sing of Oedipus, King of Thebes the most tragic of men."
MAN: "Whoa, whoa."
GABRIELLE: "What's the matter?"
MAN: "You wanna tell me about Oedipus?  Hah!  I knew Oedipus. I grew up in Thebes when he was king."
GABRIELLE: "You knew Oedipus?  I'd love to hear all about him."
MAN: "Oh well, I guess I could make room for you up here somewhere."
GABRIELLE: "Oh no no need. I'll just sit on top."
MAN: "Oedipus. Laughs the most tragic of all men. Laughs biggest fool of all men, more like."
GABRIELLE: "You knew him personally?"
MAN: "Well no, not personally but tsk, tsk, come on, I saw him around."
WOMAM’S:"Hello." 
VILLAGERS: "Xena."  "Xena."  "Right you are."
XENA: "Mother?"

CYRENE: "Weapons aren't welcome in my tavern, neither are you. What are you doing here?"
XENA: "Mother listen. The warlord Draco is marching on this valley."
CYRENE: "And you need to borrow a few men for an army, right?"
XENA: "I can help organize a defense."
CYRENE: "Give it up Xena."
XENA: "I know Draco, I know the way he thinks, I know what his weaknesses are. If we act now we stand a good chance of stopping him."
CYRENE: "You think we're fools. We all remember what happened the last time you talked like that."
WOMEN: "You'll not take our sons."  "Not again."
XENA: "You're all in great danger!"
CYRENE: "Even if that were true, we would rather die before accepting help from you again."
MAN: "Not this time, Xena. We remember."
CYRENE: "Go away Xena, this is not your town anymore, we are not your people. I am not your mother!"
MEN: "Never again!"  "We know who you are."  "What are you waiting for?
DRACO: "Hector I sent you to follow her so we'd know what she was doing, not to tell her what we're doing." 
HECTOR: "Look, I had no choice."
DRACO: "Neither do I Choose a weapon, now.  Get the men ready for a forced march.  What's the state of the troops?"
GAR: "The first and second divisions are about ready now." 

Draco and Hector fight throughout the ensuing discussion

GAR: "The third is stationed at the Strymon Pass."
DRACO: "Mobilize one and two. They can take the high-road to the sea.  The third division can join us at Thrace."
GAR: "They can take the Strymon road and be there in two days."
DRACO: "No, the pass doesn't offer enough cover.  March them north, across the foot of the mountains.  Then they can cut east to the northern border.  We'll flank Amphipolis on both sides and crush them if they offer any resistance. Saddle my warhorse.  Get someone to clean off my knife.  Oh and Gar, when we find her, she's mine."
GAR: "Yes sir."
XENA: "If you won't mount a defense, then you must leave here."
CYRENE: "You came all this way just to say that?"
XENA: "No it wasn't the only reason."
CYRENE: "What other purpose could you have?"
XENA: "I wanted to come home.  I thought maybe this time I could get it right."
CYRENE: "I don't think anything'll ever take away the shame and sorrow you've brought on your kinsmen."
XENA: "Probably not but I'm gonna spend the rest of my life trying."
CYRENE: "Xena, I wish I could believe you." 
MAN ONE: "Here she is!  We know what you're up to, Xena and we won't let you get away with it."
CYRENE: "What are you talking about?"
MAN ONE: "Her army is burning fields in the west valley."
XENA: "That's a lie.  It's Draco's army."
MAN ONE: "Then why are they carrying your banners and shouting your name?"
CYRENE: "Do what you will with her."
MAN TWO: "You should have stayed with your army Xena. This is the last village you'll ever see."
XENA: "Well what are you waiting for? Take your revenge."
WOMAM: "Come on."
XENA: "It's true what they say It's sweet. What? Is one woman too much for you? Let me even the odds, one unarmed woman might be more to your tastes."
GABRIELLE: "Wait, wait, wait!  N-now , you don't know me. I'm new in town but I can assure you, Xena is a 
changed woman. I saw her do some heroic things in the name of good."
MAN ONE: "Unless you're suicidal, you'll get out of the way.  She's brought Draco down on the valley."
GABRIELLE: "Draco? Now, he's a scary guy and I understand why you're upset but let me throw some logic at you.
MAN ONE: "Look, you're wasting your breath.  We'll never put our faith in Xena again.  I buried two sons because of her!  Now get out of the way!"
GABRIELLE: "Now hold on. Let's say that you're right and she's Draco's buddy. Let's say she's even his girlfriend. Well what have you accomplished?  You think that Draco's bad news now?  What do you think he'll be like when he hears that you knocked off his woman? Oh boy, it gives me the creeps even to think about it."
MAN ONE: "All right, but get Xena out of here right now."
GABRIELLE: "No problem."
GABRIELLE: "Hey Xena."
XENA: "What?"
GABRIELLE: "I could probably get up there behind you."
XENA: "What are you talking about?"
GABRIELLE: "Wait you're not gonna just leave me here are you?  I came all this way to see you."
XENA: "That is your problem."
GABRIELLE: "Hey I just saved your life.  Where are we going?"
XENA: "To see my brother."
XENA: "You always did have trouble keeping your face clean.  Since you've been gone I kind of lost my way. Now I found it.  I thought I could start over but no They don't trust me.  Not even Mother.  I can't blame her she can't see into my heart but I've got to believe that you can and I wish you were here. It's hard to be alone."
GABRIELLE: "You're not alone.
