- Xena: If he was really your friend, he wouldn't have come here and tried to interfere.
- Iolaus: Well I guess you're right, Xena. It's just -- I've never been on a different side to Hercules before.
- Xena: You didn't let that stop you from standing up to him. You were a true warrior.
- Iolaus: If I was anything less, you wouldn't want me here.
- Xena: You've turned out to be everything I thought Hercules would be. But Hercules -- I can be fierce and violent, Iolaus, you've seen that for yourself. But to hear Hercules say what he said -- it was like having a dagger plunged through my heart.
- Iolaus: I've ended my friendship with him.
- Xena: Then you must be in pain, too.
- Iolaus: Not as long as I'm with you.
- Xena: Come to bed when you're finished with your sword. I'll be waiting.
- Villager: [about Xena] She just wants to write her name across history in big bloody letters.
