TEASER

Helen’s nightmare

SOLDIERS: “We must protect Helen!”  “Save the Queen!”  “Helen!  Helen!  Helen!”
PARIS:  “Nightmare again?”
HELEN:  “It’s so real, Paris.”
PARIS:  “Shhh.  I told you, there’s nothing to worry about. Menelaus and his army are exhausted. Victory for Troy is at hand.”
HELEN:  “I wish I could believe that.”
PARIS:  “Get some rest.  These nightmares rob you of your beauty, and after all isn’t that what I’ve been fighting for?”
HELEN:  “Maltiades.” 
MALTIADES:  “Is everything all right, your Highness?”
HELEN:  “I need you to deliver a message for me.  Have you heard of Xena?”
MALTIADES:  “Yes.
HELEN:  “Take this to her.”
MALTIADES:  “Yes, Highness.”
XENA:  “Half an apple that’s it?”
GABRIELLE: “I should have picked up some more supplies when we came down Mount Poulis. But don’t worry. We’re not far from Troy.  We can just stop there, and”
XENA:  “No, we’re not stopping in Troy, Gabrielle.  It’s too dangerous.  And besides, after fighting the Greeks for ten years, I doubt that Trojans have any food to spare.”
GABRIELLE:  “It was just a thought. I mean, the only chance I get to see Helen the face that launched a thousand ships.”
XENA:  “A thousand war ships.  Forget it.”
GABRIELLE:  “OK.  I don’t need food if you don’t.  Hmm!”
MALTIADES:  “Let me pass!”
GABRIELLE:  “What is that?”
THUGS:  “Get her!”  “We’ve got her now!”  “Come on.  Come on. Hurry!”
GABRIELLE:  “Is he all right?”
MALTIADES:  “Are you Xena?”
XENA:  “Yes do I know you?”
MALTIADES:  “I’m Maltiades.  Queen Helen sent me to deliver a  message to you.”
XENA:  “Is she all right?”
MALTIADES:  “Yes but she wants you to come to Troy.”
GABRIELLE:  “You know Helen?”
XENA:  “We met a long time ago in Sparta before the war.”
MALTIADES:  “Please promise you’ll go.  The lives of thousands of soldiers depend on you.”
XENA:  “I will.”
MALTIADES:  “Good.  Be sure no one knows why you’re there.”
XENA:  “All right.”
GABRIELLE:  “I- Is?”
XENA:  “Yes.  We’ll give him a proper burial, and then we’ll go.”
GABRIELLE:  “To Troy?”
XENA:  “To Troy.”

 

ACT I

XENA:  “It’s Troy.”
GABRIELLE:  “Oh.  OK let me get this straight.  To get inside Troy, not only do we have to get past that huge stone wall but we have to do it in front of the Greek army?”
XENA:  “Shh!  Keep your voice down, Gabrielle.”
GABRIELLE:  “Right.  But you do have a plan?”
XENA:  “Count on it.  Are your boots laced?  Come on!”
GABRIELLE:  “Ahh!”
XENA:  “Follow my lead!  Come on!  Stay close, Gabrielle!”
GREEK SOLDIER:  “Do it!”
XENA:  “Come on, Gabrielle!"
PERDICUS:  “Gabrielle?”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Perdicus?  Are you all right?”
PERDICUS:  “Open the gates!  Open the gates!”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Open the gates?  Are you crazy?”
XENA:  “Run, Gabrielle!  Run!  I’ll cover you.”
GABRIELLE:  “I’m right behind you!”
XENA:  “Come on!”
GREEK SOLDIER:  “Charge the gates!”
PERDICUS:  “Help me get the gates.  Open the gates!  Come on, hurry! Hurry!  Get inside!  Go in there!”
XENA:  “You first!”
PERDICUS: “Archers!  Close the gates!”
XENA:  “Thanks for your help.”
GABRIELLE:  “We should introduce ourselves.  My name is Gabrie.”
PERDICUS: “I know who you are.”
GABRIELLE:  “Perdicus?”
PERDICUS:  “Gabrielle.”
XENA:  “You two know one another.”
GABRIELLE:  “This is Perdicus, from my home town.  We were to be married.”
XENA:  “I thought you were a farmer.”
PERDICUS: “I was, but not anymore.  Shore up those gates.”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Yes, sir.”
PERDICUS:  “Follow me.” 
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Shore up the gates!”
PERDICUS: “Welcome to Troy.”
GREEK SOLDIER:  “We need more food here!”
MENELAUS:  “Well, this plan of yours had better work.  The morale of my troops dwindles with each passing day.  If Troy doesn’t fall soon, I may never see Helen again.”
GREEK SOLDIER: “King Menelaus.  Forgive me, your Highness.  I didn’t mean to intrude.”
MENELAUS:  “What is it?” 
GREEK SOLDIER: “A report from the front The Warrior Princess, Xena has fought through our lines and into Troy.”
MENELAUS:  “Xena?  Leave us.  Well, I trust you can take care of this little unforeseen problem.  We don’t need a wolf among our  sheep now, do we?”
PERDICUS: “So, what brings you to Troy?”
XENA:  “The war.”
PERDICUS:  “You’re here to fight?”
XENA:  “If I’m needed.”
PERDICUS:  “With your fighting skills, I’m sure you’ll be welcome by Commander Deiphobus.”
XENA:  “Who’s she?”
PERDICUS:  “He’s the head of Troy’s security forces and Paris’ brother.”
XENA:  “Well, first, I have to see Helen and Paris”
PERDICUS:  “Why?”
XENA:  “I’ve got to meet who I’m fighting for.”
PERDICUS:  “I’m sorry No one sees them without permission.  It’s against regulations.”
XENA:  “Well, that’s never bothered me before.  Don’t worry, if anyone asks, I’ll say you tried to stop me.  Wait here.  I’m sure you two have plenty to talk about.”
GABRIELLE AND PERDICUS:  “Good to see you.”
PERDICUS:  “Yeah.”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Perdicus, the Greeks are on the move!”
PERDICUS:  “Call out the second detail!  I want them on the south battlement!”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Yes, sir!”
PERDICUS: “Find someplace safe I have to go.”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Quickly"!
DEIPHODUS:  “I understand, you opened the gates for the Greek Warrior Woman!”
PERDICUS:  “Yes, Commander, but she, she battled an entire platoon of her own countrymen. I I thought we could possibly utilize her fighting skills.”
DEIPHODUS:  “Perhaps, but where do I find her, now?”
PERDICUS:  “I advised that she report to you, sir.”
DEIPHODUS:  “Then, why haven’t I seen her?!”
PERDICUS:  “I tried to stop her, but she insisted on seeing Paris and Helen first.”
DEIPHODUS: “If anything happens to them, I will hold you responsible.”
XENA:  “You sent for me?”
HELEN:  “Xena I was worried you wouldn’t come.”
XENA:  “Well, we’ve had our differences in the past, but, you’re still a friend.”
HELEN:  “Thank you.  Where’s Maltiades?”
XENA:  “Dead I fought off his attackers, but not in time to save his life. I’m sorry. I know you wouldn’t have sent him into danger without a good reason.”
HELEN:  “You’re right.  I see terrible things in my dreams,"
XENA:  "I want you to take me to Menelaus.”
XENA:  “Why would you want to go back to the man you were forced to marry?”
HELEN:  “It’s the only way the Greeks will withdraw and the fighting will stop.”
XENA:  “You’re wrong.  Paris and his army will carve a bloody path to the sea chasing after you .  You’re better off staying in Troy.  At least Paris loves you.”
HELEN:  “Wait!  Xena, please. After ten years of war Troy has become a city of misery and death.  Paris may have loved me once but, now he is consumed with victory.We’re barely more than strangers. I just want the war to end.”
DEIPHODUS: “There she is!”
HELEN:  “What is the meaning of this, Deiphobus?”  How dare you enter my chamber?”
DEIPHODUS:  “My apologies, but you’re safety’s my first concern.”
XENA: “Then you’d better tighten security.  I’ve got to tell you, for a city under attack, it was pretty easy to get in here.”
DEIPHODUS:  “What do you want?”
XENA:  “To meet with Helen.  I don’t fight for people I don’t know.”
DEIPHODUS:  “A Greek warrior wants to fight for Troy.  Do you take me for a fool?”
HELEN:  “She’s telling the truth.  If you don’t believe her, let Paris decide.”
DEIPHODUS:  “By all means my guards will escort you to the temple.”
PERDICUS:  “Ahhh.”
GABRIELLE:  “It’s been a long time.”
PERDICUS: “Yeah last time I saw you, you were  sprintin’ out of town.”
GABRIELLE:  “Right I’m sorry I that I left without saying goodbye. It was wrong.”
PERDICUS:  “That’s all right.  I’m not angry anymore.”
GABRIELLE:  “What are you doing in Troy?”
PERDICUS: “I had heard stories about Helen and Paris.  I I wanted to be in a place where people were fighting for love.”
GABRIELLE:  “I’m the one who told you those stores.  That’s all they were stories.  You’re not a soldier, Perdicus.  You don’t belong here.”
PERDICUS:  “No, no.  For the first time in my life, I feel I really do belong.”
GABRIELLE:  “Go home, before something happens to you.”
PERDICUS:  “I’m sorry, Gabrielle, but you can’t tell me what to do anymore.”
DEIPHODUS: “She claims she wants to fight for Troy.”
XENA:  “If you want me.”
DEIPHODUS: “I don’t trust her.  She’s Greek an outsider.”
XENA:  “I never lifted a sword for Greece.”
DEIPHODUS:  “It makes no difference.”
PARIS:  “Look, she fought bravely to get into Troy.  I don’t see any reason to doubt her.”
ANTEUS:  “Deiphobus.”
DEIPHODUS: “Anteus?”

 

ACT II

HELEN:  “Xena.  What are you doing?”
XENA:  “I saw this coward kill a loyal Trojan outside the city. That cut on his face was made by my sword.”

Fight

XENA:  “He’s dead.” 
DEIPHODUS: “Good This man was obviously a traitor.”
PARIS:  “He was a member of your personal guard, Deiphobus.”
DEIPHODUS: “I know and I assure you, there’ll be a thorough investigation of all my men.”
XENA:  “Good idea traitors rarely act alone.  It’s a shame this one won’t be talking.”
DEIPHODUS:  “He was but a few paces from you and Helen.  I-I had no choice but to kill him.”
PARIS:  “What’s done is done.  Xena, you’ve proven yourself an ally of Troy.  You’re welcome to stay as our guest. Treat her accordingly.”
DEIPHODUS:  “As you wish.”
GABRIELLE:  “It’s me, isn’t it?  That’s why you’re doing this.”
PERDICUS:  “You have nothing to feel guilty about.  I’m here because I wanna be.”
GABRIELLE:  “You forget who you’re talking to.  Remember the time that you almost drowned trying to save my hat when it fell in the river?  Or the time that you almost got trampled trying to give me a carriage ride?”
PERDICUS: “Well, those days are over.  I’m not a love-sick kid anymore.”
GABRIELLE:  “What if something happens to you?  What am I supposed to do  then?”
PERDICUS: “Write a story about me.”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Archers!  Archers!” 
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Get down!”
PERDICUS:  “Take cover.”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Head for your stations!”
GABRIELLE:  “Perdicus!”
PERDICUS: “Give me a bow!  This is for my friend!”
PERDICUS:  “You’ve taken good care of Gabrielle.  I wanted to thank you for that.”
XENA:  “There’s no need she’s like family.  Tell me about Deiphobus.”
PERDICUS:  “Well he may not be the nicest guy in town, but he’s a good warrior.  No one has killed more enemies.”
XENA:  “What about friends?”
PERDICUS:  “What do you mean?”
GABRIELLE:  “Xena?”
XENA:  “Nothing.  It’s just a hunch.”
PERDICUS:  “I better be getting back.”
XENA:  “If you’re worried about Perdicus, don’t.  He’s a good soldier he’ll be all right.”
GABRIELLE:  “I hope so huh.  So did you find out Helen’s plan to end the war?”
XENA:  “She wants me to take her back to Menelaus.”
GABRIELLE:  “You’re kidding!  Are you gonna do it?”
XENA:  “No  it won’t solve anything.  But I do think she’s in danger here.”
GABRIELLE:  “How come?”
XENA:  “There’s something going on in Troy.  I don’t know what it is, but I can feel it.  I’d feel a lot better if you stayed here with Perdicus.  I know he’ll take care of you.  I’ve got something to do.  Keep your eyes open.”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Yes, sir I’ll be right down.”
XENA:  “What do you think you’re doing?”
HELEN:  “The only thing I can.  I’m going to Menelaus, with or without your help.”
XENA:  “That’s not the answer.”
HELEN:  “Then, what is?  Every day another soldier dies for my happiness.  I can’t live with it anymore!”
XENA:  “Then don’t.  The war stopped being about your happiness a long time ago, Helen.  We both know Paris
doesn’t love you.  And Menelaus barely knows you.  The war will go on without you,
HELEN: " Let it.”
HELEN:  “But, where would I go?  What would I do?”
XENA:  “What do you want to do?”
HELEN:  “I don’t know.  No one’s ever asked me that before.”
TROJAN SOLDIER: “Deiphobus.”
HELEN:  “Where’s Deiphobus going?”
XENA:  “Wait here.”
TROJAN SOLDIERS:  “Do you see anything?”  “All clear here!” “Arrows up on the north wall.”
GREEK SOLDIER: “Long live Greece!” 
DEIPHOBUS:  “They don’t suspect a thing.”
MENELAUS:  “Excellent work, Deiphobus.”
GREEK SOLDIERS:  “Take the next watch.”  “Yes, sir.”  “Get ready.” “More fire water here.”  Etc.
XENA:  “I followed Deiphobus to the Greek camp, where I saw him plotting with King Menelaus.”
DEIPHOBUS:  “She’s right.  I did meet with Menelaus.  But I was there to convince him that he’ll never win this war. I was there to make peace.”
HELEN:  “You mean”
DEIPHOBUS:  “Yes.  At long last, King Menelaus has decided to give up.”
HELEN:  “Thank the gods!”
XENA:  “What I saw was no council of peace.  Your brother is a traitor.”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “I have reports from every platoon.  The Greek army has pulled out, and they’ve left a gift of peace at the gates.”
PARIS:  Laughs
XENA:  “Beware Greeks bearing gifts, Paris.”
DEIPHODUS:  “Too little, too late, Xena.  Your people have surrendered.”
XENA:  “Can’t you see what’s going on?”
DEIPHODUS:  “Don’t listen to her!  She can’t be trusted.  Ask yourself this:  What was Xena doing near the Greek
camp?  You’ve won the war, my brother.”

They laugh

PARIS:  “You’re right about Xena.  I can’t take any chances.”
HELEN:  “No you can’t do this.”
PARIS:  “Things are a little more complicated than they seem, my dear.  Why don’t you find yourself something
pretty to wear to the celebration.  Get her!”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Move!”
TROJAN SOLDIERS:  “Let’s get it inside!  Heave!  Heave!  Heave! Heave!  Heave!  Heave!  Heave!  Heave!  Heave!  Heave!  Break out the wine!”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Get in there!”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “To the victory of Troy!

 

ACT III 

DEIPHODUS:  “Good morning!  Too bad you’re missing all the fun,
XENA: "There’s been quite a celebration.”
XENA:  “Don’t even bother, Deiphobus.  You might fool the others.”
DEIPHODUS: Laughs “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
XENA:  “We both know that horse is a trick.  But what I can’t figure out, is what a scum-sucking opportunist like 
you would want Helen back with Menelaus for?”
DEIPHODUS:  Laughs
XENA:  “What do you get out of it?”
DEIPHODUS:  “Have you met the new prisoner?  This is Xena, the Greek warrior who betrayed you by helping the 
people of Troy.”
PARIS:  “Why a sad face?”
HELEN:  “I don’t feel much like celebrating.”
PARIS:  “Don’t be silly.  We finally defeated Menelaus and his army.  You should be overjoyed.  Still angry about 
Xena?  I’ve told you, she’s in the dungeon because that’s where she belongs.”
HELEN:  “But, she’s done nothing wrong.  If you really love me, you’ll trust my judgment.”
PARIS:  “I’m tired of this I didn’t fight ten long years to listen to your judgment.  Get dressed.  We have 
celebration to attend.”
Xena fights Greek prisoners
XENA:  “Thanks, fellas!”
GABRIELLE:  “That was some party.  I wonder what happened to Xena.  It’s not like her to be gone so long.”
PERDICUS: “She’s probably up at the palace.  I’m sure that Helen and Paris are throwing the biggest party of all.”
GABRIELLE:  Laughs  “I don’t know She’s not much for parties.”
PERDICUS:  “Well, I wouldn’t worry I’m sure that she can more than take care of herself.”
GABRIELLE:  “Troy’s not like back home is it?”
PERDICUS:  “Do you remember the time that we got caught stealing corn from Hylus’ farm, and he threatened to
tell your father?”
GABRIELLE:  “But then you took the blame so I woudn’t be punished.  Did I ever thank you for that?”
PERDICUS:  “No.”
GABRIELLE:  “Thank you.  Did you ever think, when we were kids, that we’d find each other again here in the 
middle of Troy?”
PERDICUS: “No, but I’m sure glad that we did.” 
GREEK SOLDIERS:  “Open the gates!”  “Hurry!”  “Open the gates!”  “Open them!”
MENELAUS:  “Find Helen, and bring her to me!”
DEIPHODUS:  “It’s begun.  Menelaus is looking for Helen.  It’s your job to find her first.”
SOLDIER:  “What about Paris?”
DEIPHODUS:  “Leave my brother to me.”
Fight
XENA:  “Round up as many people as you can.  Meet me at the temple of Aphrodite.”
PERDICUS:  “Where are you going?”
XENA:  “To get Helen.”
GABRIELLE:  “Let’s go.”
GABRIELLE:  “Hurry!  In here!”
PERDICUS:  I don’t know. Just find the rest of your men; retreat to the south battlement; and form a new line of 
defense."
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Yes, Paris.”
PARIS:  “Go!  “Perdicus.  How did this happen?”
PERDICUS:  “The surrender was a trick.  The Greeks have broken through the main gates.  Come with us to the
 temple. Come on! Close the gates.”
TROJAN SOLDIERS:  “It’s Helen!  Take her!”
HELEN:  “What are you doing?  Take me to Paris.”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Sorry We’ve got other orders.”
XENA:  “Come on, let’s go!”
TROJAN SOLDIER:  “Down here! Down here!”
PERDICUS:  “That’s everyone.  Secure the doors.”
PARIS:  “Xena I misjudged you.”
GREEK SOLDIER:  “Everything proceeds according to schedule.”
MENELAUS:  “Good Have you found Helen yet?”
GREEK SOLDIER:  “Helen and the others are in the temple.  They’ve barracaded the doors.”
MENELAUS:  “Well, what are you waiting for?!  Break it down!”
GREEK SOLDIER:  “We’re trying.”
MENELAUS:  “Bring Helen to me!  Torch the city and everything in it!  And remove the horse!  I want it as a 
memento of my conquest!  Burn the city!  Burn Troy to the ground!”
HELEN:  “Let me out.  Menelaus will stop this madness once I surrender.”
XENA:  “I can’t let you do that.”
HELEN:  “It’s me they want.”
XENA:  “Maybe there’s another way.  Show me where the supply room is.”
HELEN:  “I don’t see how”
XENA:  “Show me.”
HELEN:  “This way.”
PERDICUS: “Looks like the entire Greek army’s out there.  It doesn’t look good.”
GABRIELLE:  “Perdicus?
PERDICUS:  “Gab Y- You”
GABRIELLE:  “This may be the last chance I get to tell you this. I am I’m really sorry.  I know that I treated you 
badly”
PERDICUS:  “And I let you.  It was just as much my fault, Gabrielle. If only we could’ve been honest with each 
other.”
GABRIELLE:  “I can’t be more honest than this?”
HELEN: “This room was built to store foods and supplies in case the Greeks ever invaded. I never thought we’d 
use it.”
XENA:  “No, this’ll do just fine.”
HELEN:  “It’s all right.  I’d like to speak to him for a moment.”
XENA:  “Don’t be too long.”
PARIS:  “I’m sorry.”
XENA:  “You don’t owe me an apology.”
PARIS:  “I don’t know how all this happened.  I just wanted to love you.”
HELEN:  “No You wanted to own me.  If we survive I’m not gonna stay with you.  I want my own life.”
PARIS:  “Deiphobus.  The Greeks deceived you.”
DEIPHODUS:  “It wasn’t me who was deceived.  There’s only one man worthy of Helen, me.”
HELEN:  “No!  Why?!”
DEIPHODUS: “Because now, you’re mine.”
HELEN:  “Xena!”

 

ACT IV

 
XENA:  “Everything all right?”
PERDICUS:  “Do you think we have enough of this stuff?”
XENA:  “Trust me We’ll have the biggest smokescreen you have ever seen.”
GABRIELLE:  “Where’s where’s Paris and Helen?”
XENA:  “In the supply room.”
GABRIELLE:  “I’ll get ‘em.”
GREEK SOLDIERS:  “It’s giving way!”  “Keep pushing, men!”
XENA:  “Gabrielle, hurry!”
GABRIELLE:  “Xena?!  Paris is dead.”
XENA:  “What?  Where’s Helen?”
GABRIELLE:  “She’s gone.”
PERDICUS:  “Menelaus has taken her.”
XENA:  “No, no He would’ve called off his army.”
GABRIELLE:  “Then who?”
XENA:  “Deiphobus.”
PERDICUS:  “Deiphobus?  But why?”
XENA:  “No time to find out now.  We’ll leave the same way Deiphobus came in!  Go!  Go!  Go!  Go!  Run!  Run!”
GABRIELLE:  “Xena!”
GREEK SOLDIERS:  “Where’d they go?!”  “I can’t see!”  “Find Helen!”
MENELAUS:  “So, where is she?  Where’s Helen?”
GREEK SOLDIER:  “I’m sorry.  We’ve checked every corner of the temple.  There’s no one.”
MENELAUS:  “You fool!  You’ve let them get away!  Shut the gates!  No one leaves the city!”
GREEK SOLDIER:  “As Menelaus ordered, remove the horse!”
GREEK SOLDIER:  “I thought this thing would be a lot lighter with nobody in it.”
XENA:  “Thanks for the lift.  Get everyone away from the horse. I’ll meet you on the next road.”
GABRIELLE:  “Where are you going?”
XENA:  “To get Helen.  Run for your miserable lives.”
HELEN:  “What do you want from me?!”
DEIPH:  “What does every man want from Helen of Troy?”
HELEN:  “Don’t you realize what you’ve done?!  You’ve killed your own brother!  And ruined Troy!  And for what? 
A woman who will only despise you!”
DEIPHODUS: “No matter.  With you at my side, we’ll build a new city; give birth to a new race of Trojans.  With 
my strength and your beauty, our children will rule the world.”
XENA:  “Leaving so soon?”
DEIPHODUS: “Xena, keep away from us.”
They fight 
HELEN:  “What now?”
XENA:  “We leave him here.  When Menelaus comes out of Troyempty-handed, I want Deiphobus to be the 
first thing he sees. Very nice.  Come on.”
PERDICUS:  “Listen, Gabrielle.  I know things got pretty crazy in there.  And, maybe you said some things that, 
that you didn’t really mean.  I just want you to know that I don’t expect anything from you.  As far as I’m 
concerned, we can go our separate ways.”
GABRIELLE:  “Right Ha-hah!  That’s exactly what I was thinking.”
PERDICUS:  “Great.”
GABRIELLE:  “Good, good.”
PERDICUS:  “I know that we’ll see each other again, some day.  You take care of yourself.”
GABRIELLE:  “You too.”
HELEN:  “Thank you for everything.  I just wish we could have saved Troy.”
XENA:  “When two kings are bent on destruction, there’s nothing much anyone can do.”
HELEN:  “You’ve done a lot for me, Xena.  You showed me the only person that can make me happy is me. I 
appreciate that.”
XENA:  “You’re welcome.  What’s next for you?”
HELEN:  “I don’t know.  But for the first time it’s mydecision.”
XENA:  “I know you’ll make it the right one.”
PERDICUS:  “Goodbye, Xena.”
XENA:  “Perdicus, where you headed?”
PERDICUS:  “A new city a few days’ journey from here.  But who knows?
HELEN:  “It sounds wonderful.  Do you mind if I travel with you for a while?”
PERDICUS:  “Not at all.  I’ll send a messenger ahead to announce your arrival so the leaders can”
HELEN:  If it’s all the same to you, I think I’d rather be treated like a normal person for a change.”
XENA:  “You take care.”
HELEN:  “You know I will.”
PERDICUS:  “Shall we?”
HELEN:  “OK.”
XENA:  “I thought Perdicus would be joining us for a while.”
GABRIELLE:  “No I think he’s made other plans.”
XENA:  “Oh.”
GABRIELLE:  “Do you want to go back for the horse?  It’s bound to be a collectors’ item?”
XENA:  “Only if you’re gonna pull it.”
GABRIELLE:  “Nah.”
