“She’ll make a great Queen one day as you
will, very soon Diana.” DIANA: “Papa please don’t talk like that. You’re gonna get better, I know it.” KING: “You must be strong. I fear my time is very near and it’s important that the transition between my rule and yours go smoothly.” DIANA: “I’m ready to do whatever’s needed of me.” KING: “I’ve sent for Xena. In difficult times like these, it’s good to have mighty friends close at hand.” DIANA: “And who’s mightier than Xena?” JOXER: “ I was the one chosen to fight Callisto because if there’s anyone mightier than Xena, it’s Joxer the Magnificent. So I challenged Callisto to pit her strength against mine. She was a little hesitant at first understandably but then she came at me and I parried, dodged, dodged, thrust, parried, parried! And I spun around to, to. Hi Gaby.” GABRIELLE: “Go ahead I’d love to hear the rest.” JOXER: “To ah call Xena to dispatch the villaness, which she did while I held off the other members of Callisto’s gang.” GABRIELLE: “You know I don’t remember it that way.” JOXER: “Well that’s because you were tied up at the time.” GABRIELLE: “So were you. What are you doing here?” JOXER: “I heard that King Lias was dying and he sent for Xena. So I thought I might be of some help.” GABRIELLE: “I don’t think so but I’ll be sure to ask her when I see her.” JOXER: “I already talked to her. She’s heading to the castle. She told me to give her a little time to settle in and that I should follow.” GABRIELLE: “What are you talking about? Xena’s in Thebes. The message she sent to me said that she wouldn’t be her till tomorrow.” JOXER: “Wrong! She was here an hour ago.” GABRIELLE: “Now how could she get here so fast?” JOXER: “I don’t know but she was definitely here.” GABRIELLE: “I guess I better hurry up to catch up with her.” JOXER: “Yeah and tell her not to worry. I could tell when we parted company this morning that she was gonna miss my affections. Ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha! Oww! Oww! Ooh! Oww! What’d you do that for?” GABRIELLE: “That’s Xena’s reputation you’re playing with and that’s going too far.” JOXER: “So anyway, there I was on the parapet.” DIANA: “Xena.” MEG AS XEAN : “Diana.” DIANA: “Welcome. Thank you for coming. We didn’t expect you so soon.” MEG AS XEAN: “Well I made good time. I want you to meet Agis, uh He was once the advisor to King Cabnus of Thebes. I trust him completely. He’ll be a great help to us all in these difficult times.” DIANA: “If Xena trusts you, I trust you. Welcome sir.” AGIS: “I’m honored your Highness.” MEG AS XEAN: : “How’s the King?” DIANA: “He’s not well Xena.” MEG AS XEAN: : “Oh well I’m sorry to hear that. We’ll get through this together.” GABRIELLE: “Hello Princess.” DIANA: “Gabrielle welcome. I’ll have rooms prepared for you all. Guard stay with Xena,her commands are to be obeyed as though they came from the King himself.” GUARD: “Yes your Highness.” GABRIELLE: “We need to work on communication here. I thought you said we were gonna meet at the tavern tomorrow and what hapened with Joxer to make him think you were in love with him?. You have to watch what you say to this guy, he’s a little crazy. He had this whole bar thinking you were some kind of low-life tramp.” MEG AS XEAN: : “Guard! Throw this big-mouthed idiot in the dungeon!” GABRIELLE: “Big-mouthed idiot? Xena, Xena, Xena!” |

| JOXER:
“Wait a minute. So Diana and Xena are exact lookalikes?” GABRIELLE: “Right!” JOXER: “Oh great! I insulted royalty. I’m in big trouble but on the bright side, Xena still has a thing for me.” GABRIELLE: “Hmm impossible! No offense Joxer but you’re just not her type.” JOXER: “She was certainy making do with my type. Let me tell you what we did in that tavern. She gave me this. That ain’t all.” GABRIELLE: “Ah no! That’s not necessary. I wish I knew what was wrong with her.” JOXER: “Well it’s simple really. She was struck by Cupid’s arrow. It’s love Gabrielle but don’t worry I’m prepared to do the honorable thing.” GABRIELLE: “Leave?” JOXER: “No Marry her We could all travel around together. Xena and I could be like a father and mother to you.” GABRIELLE: “Guards! Please! Please! Please! I’ve got to get out of here!” MEG AS DIANA: “Xena told me all about the plan.” GABRIELLE: “What is the plan?” MEG AS DIANA: “Can’t say but uh you’ll have to stay here and she also explained that little misunderstanding between you and I.” JOXER: “Forgive me you’re Highness I’m lower than rat droppings.” MEG AS DIANA: “Oh of course. It was just an honest mistake.” JOXER: “Oh.” MEG AS DIANA: “Now come with me. Eh! Sorry remember the plan? JOXER: “Um what is the plan?” MEG AS DIANA: “I’ll tell you out here.” JOXER: “Oh good.” GABRIELLE: “You’re gonna tell Joxer but you’re not gonna tell me?” MEG AS DIANA: “Xena’s orders. She’s very fond of him, you know?” JOXER: “Uh wait what’s the plan? That’s the plan?” MEG AS DIANA: “What do you think?” JOXER: “Good plan.” WOMAN: “Your Highness, Your Highness it is time for the baby’s nap. Now you know how she can’t drift off unless you sing a lullabye to her.” MEG AS DIANA: “All right all right. Just go on up to the nursery and I’ll catch up with you there. Wait for me in my room I won’t be long.” MEG AS DIANA: (Singing) “If one of those bottles should happen to fall, 63 bottles of beer on the wall. 63 bottles of beer on the wall, 63 bottles of beer. If one of those bottles should happen to fall, 43 bottles of beer on the wall.” JOXER: “You’re mad, you devil. Oh, Joxer why should you deny yourself to these needy women?” XEAN: “Joxer? What are you doing here?” JOXER: “I hate to tell you this Xena but. All right I might as well spit it out. Princess Diana wants me.” XEAN: “She what?” JOXER: “Listen I can see the pain on your face but really, there’s plenty of me to go around and um there’s no reason why we can’t be adults about this and have a little fun.” XEAN: “Are you suicidal?” JOXER: “Oh don’t worry Xena. I got just what you need and plenty of it too.” XEAN: “You got some explaining to do and you can start by telling me where Gabrielle is.” JOXER: “In the dungeon where you put her!” XEAN: “What?” MEG: “What’s the gripe Aggie? I’ve done everything just like you said.” AGIS: “And more try staying away from that clown Joxer.” MEG: “I think he’s cute.” AGIS: “You better not mess this up.” MEG: “Look who’s talking.” AGIS: “What does that mean?” MEG: “You were supposed to keep the real Xena away from here. Last time I looked she was making herself quite at home. You should hire better people Aggie.” AGIS: “Don’t you talk to me that way. A despiccable slag like you should find it an honor to work with a man like me and my name is Agis, not Aggie.” MEG: “Take it easy now Agis.” AGIS: “And you’re gonna do exactly like I say from now on correct?” MEG: : “Exactly.” AGIS: “Good. Well don’t just stand there, move it!” GABRIELLE: “Come on Warrior Princess. Take that! Ow ah! I know what the plan is. You’re trying to drive me insane!” XEAN: “Let’s go.” GABRIELLE: “Now wait a minute. OK I believe you when you say that there’s another look-alike here. That would explain everything but how do I know that you’re the real Xena?” JOXER: “Yeah how do we know you’re the real Xena?” GABRIELLE: “Hello Xena. Boy am I glad to see you.” XEAN: “Let’s split up and search the castle they may have hidden Diana here.” JOXER: “Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. How am I supposed to know who the real Diana is?” XEAN: “Well if you come across a woman and she looks exactly like me, and she displays any interest in you whatsoever as a man, that’s the bad one.” JOXER: “She is bad, real bad.” XEAN AS MEG: “Alcibiades.” ALCIBIADES: “Meg?” XEAN AS MEG: “Yeah of course it’s me. Look what I found. We found her snooping around. Agis wants you to take her to the same place you’re hiding Diana and that way we’ll have two cards to play against Xena.” ALCIBIADES: “All right, hand me the rope.” XEAN AS MEG: “Hey I wanna come too. Xena’s figured this whole thing out. I don’t want to be around her any more. I’m terrified of that warrior witch and you know, maybe if you take me along, then we can relax a little later on.” ALCIBIADES: “Ah sorry had to make sure you weren’t Xena. Bring her along.” XEAN AS MEG: “Hey boys!” GABRIELLE: “All right!” XEAN AS MEG: “How’re you doing Princess?” DIANA: “Not well. I’ll probably be dead soon.” XEAN AS MEG: “Why’s that?” DIANA: “Well I’ve been sitting on this cold ground almost the entire day Who could survive that?” GABRIELLE: “A cold bottom isn’t fatal.” DIANA: “Says you.” XEAN AS MEG: “No but if I have to listen to you two blabber any more somebody’s gonna end up seriously dead. Hey boys let’s toy with the brat a while.” AGIS: “If we can put Meg on the throne we will control the most powerful army in Boecia. Conquests you never dreamed of are in our grasp and you lead Xena directly to our hideout.” ALCIBIADES: “What are we going to do about Xena? Now that she has Diana there’s nothing stopping her from coming after you.” AGIS: “There’s still one card left to play.” DIANA: “My baby! They took my baby!” |

“Do it! Go on! Do it! You heard me. Kill him you
slag! Do it!” MEG: “No and neither will you.” AGIS: “How dare you?” GABRIELLE: “Xena! Duck!” JOXER: “Hah! Missed me! Missed me again! Woo! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Well.” KING: “You’re not my daughter are you?” MEG: “Not officially.” KING: “You’re not Xena, either.” MEG: “No.” KING: “Amazing.” MEG: “You’re on your own now Pops. Your little friend just kicked my butt. What chance do you think I stand against you? Why don’t you just kill me? Go on get it over and done with.” XEAN: “No because I want you to stay here and take care of the king.” MEG: “No. No see you must not have been paying attention. I’m no good.” XEAN: “You got the king to safety, I saw you.” MEG: “Yeah well that was my one good deed for the year. Believe me you don’t want to be leaving anybody’s life in my hands. I’m a low-life.” XEAN: “I don’t care what you’ve done in your past. Do good now and you are good. Lock the door behind me when I leave and cover him up. A chill now could kill him.” KING: “You look so like my daughter; it’s remarkable.” MEG: “Yes three women who look so much alike and yet inside so different. One’s a warrior and one’s a Princess. One’s a tramp.” WOMAN: “Wait no!” MEG: “And then I lived in Athens for a while. I actually did some honest work there. I was a cook and you know I have quite a touch when it comes to spices. You like spicy foods Kingy? King Lias? King Lias!” AGIS: “Put a rope up on that chandelier! Tie the basket.” DIANA AS XEAN: “Hold it right there! I’m coming to get that baby and anyone who tries to stop me is going to eat my sword. Oh! But wait! I still have my round killing thing.” ALCIBIADES: “It’s Diana!” AGIS: “Get her. Run that basket up on the rope!” DIANA: “Just give me back my baby and then you can go in peace!” AGIS: “Tie it off. Now we’ll see if she gives us what we need.” MEG AS XEAN: “Hold it right there! In the blink of an eye I can split the skull of anyone who moves with my trusty shamrock.” AGIS: “Grab her, it’s Meg!” XEAN: “Guess which one I am. Give me that.” Fight JOXER: “What’s going on? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!” Fight XEAN: “Stay down.” Fight JOXER: “I’m glad that’s over.” Fight XEAN: “Gab the baby!” Fight MEG: “Hey Princess! I just came from seeing your father.” KING: “Which one are you?” XEAN: “I’m Xena.” KING: “Diana?” DIANA: “Oh Papa!” MEG: “I sure hope he pulls through. He’s a good man. I might even write him from jail If I knew how to write.” GABRIELLE: “Well if it were up to me, I’d give you another chance. I’d set you free.” MEG: “Yeah you’re a softy.” XEAN: “He’s going to be fine; he may live on for years yet.” PHILEMON: “Meg he wants to talk to you.” KING: “They told me about the plot you were mixed up in. You were right. You’ve done some very bad things.” MEG: “Well I told you; I’m trash.” KING: “Stop it. I don’t ever want to hear anyone say things like that about my personal cook.” MEG: “You’re not kidding me are you Kingy?” KING: “Not at all. Oh by the way, I do like spices.” MEG: “Well I’m about as spicy as you can get! Thanks King Lias. I won’t let you down.” MEG: “So so long Xena.” XEAN: “Goodbye Meg.” MEG: “It was fun being you for a while.” XEAN: “Just don’t do it again in a hurry.” GABRIELLE: “Hey Meg! Learn to read so I can write to you.” MEG: “Yeah maybe I’ll just do that.” JOXER: “Get get going, get going. Well um so long Meg.” MEG: “So long Joxer. Ditch the broads and double back, I’ll leave the kitchen door open for you.” JOXER: “Right.” JOXER: “Hey Xena Gabrielle wait up! I uh listen! I got some things to, ah attend to.” GABRIELLE: “Fine.” JOXER: “So I won’t be able to join you.” GABRIELLE: “That’s OK.” JOXER: “You sure? ‘Cause I know how much you need a real warrior to watch your back, you know?” XEAN: “Joxer she won’t wait forever.” |
