- Xena: My heart is hurting beyond words. The pain is tearing up my soul. These days have seen my spirit die, my life propelled out of control.
- Xena: My wounds lie naked to the world, my depth of suffering exposed. This damaged past can never heal until this nightmare book is closed.
- Gabrielle: My heart is hurting beyond words. The pain is tearing up my soul. Please tell me, how can I retrieve the life that all this sadness stole?
- Xena: [sings] I never dreamed that we'd be distanced by our hate, that all the trust we had would go...
- Gabrielle: [sings] How could I hate you?
- Xena: [sings] How could it come to pass, this awful twist of fate?
- Gabrielle: [sings] How could I hurt you?
- Xena: [sings] This madness can't be so!
- Gabrielle: [sings] I can't believe it...
- Xena: [sings] I never dreamed that any barriers could rise,
- Gabrielle: [sings] Or that I'd ever see the stranger in your eyes!
- Xena: [sings] Our hearts were hurting both the same...
- Gabrielle: [sings] The hurt was tearing up our souls!
- Xena: [sings] The fury in us made us blind...
- Gabrielle: [sings] We could not see beyond the pain!
- Xena: [sings] If we can turn again to love...
- Gabrielle: [sings] If we can heal these open wounds!
- Xena: [sings] We'll leave this hatred far behind,
- Gabrielle: [sings] So not a trace of hate remains!
- Xena, Gabrielle: [singing] We'll overcome our damaged past, and we'll grow stronger side by side to stand together through the storm. We're safe 'cause love will be our guide!
- Gabrielle: What's causing that?
- Xena: We are. Or I should say, you are.
- Gabrielle: There you go again. You're always blaming me for everything!
- [echoes increase]
- Gabrielle: Xena, why is it never your fault?
- Xena: It's the past! Each time we accuse each other about the past, the echoes start and we can't hear one another!
- Gabrielle: How do we stop it?
- Xena: Tell me how you feel! Right now, nothing about the past! Right now!
- Xena: [Xena sees Ares sitting on the throne; Xena talks to him] Ares... I thought as much, but why the big production number? What's the point?
- Ares: [begins singing] You are the most divine delicious warrior. / A man can't help saluting your return. / And if you start my heart it's just the way you slash and burn./ Bewitching woman straining at the armor plates. / You singe me with the ardor you inflame./ And in my carnal heart there's not a solid thread of shame.
- [cuts Xena's shoulder straps, causing her dress to fall to the ground around her ankles, leaving her completely naked in front of Ares and his soldiers; Xena glares at him in disbelief and defiance]
- Ares, God of War: [after Xena has killed Gabrielle] Nothing more need be said. Ding dong, the bitch is dead.
- Joxer: Joxer the Mighty, Master of geography. Here to guide you on your way. Stick with me-you'll never stray. If you're in a land that's new, I'm the man who'll get you through, Even if you're slightly nude. I'm Joxer, Joxer the Mighty!
- Gabrielle: [after Xena abducted her from the Amazon village, dragged her away by rope on horseback and tried throwing her over a waterfall] *I HATE YOU!*
- [she charges towards Xena and they both fall off the cliff towards the waterfall]
- Callisto: [singing to Xena] Did that fill you with glee, to kill your little friend? Did that ease your suffering, or bring it to an end? Let go... All of your anger would poison you yet, unless you can just let go...
- Xena: [singing to Gabrielle] Forgive me and you'll discover too, that the love of your love is you...
- Callisto: Absorb thyself in this Great Sea of the waters of life. Dive deep in it until thou has lost thyself. And having lost thyself, then thou shall find thyself again. Even as it is written, she had her dwelling in the Great Sea, and was a fish therein.
