Quotes
-
Ares, God of War : Considering all you've been through.
Gabrielle : [draws her sais] Ares, whatever you're looking for, look somewhere else!
Ares, God of War : Do I always have to be after something? You've been away awhile. Maybe I missed you. Maybe I'm trying to help...
Gabrielle : You only help yourself.
Ares, God of War : Aw, ultimately that is true but it doesn't mean I don't understand. Here, let me take a shot at this. Uh, Xena has been overprotective of you. She's been treatin' you like you're still...
Gabrielle : They were five bandits, five of them! She could have handled four and I would have been happy with just one. But no, no, she had to take them all!
Ares, God of War : It is hard to shed your perceptions of a person...
Gabrielle : [picks up her sais] I'm tired of it!
Ares, God of War : Hey, I notice you're gettin' pretty good with those!

Gabrielle : [Mavican appears] Who are you?
Mavican : The name is Mavican. I'm looking for Xena.

Ares, God of War : Hey! Just stop it! Stop it right now!
[column falls and Ares looks outraged]
Ares, God of War : What in the name of me do you think you're doing?
Mavican : Getting your attention!
Ares, God of War : By destroying Demeter's temple? No. See, destroying temples in the name of other gods, we just don't do it.
Mavican : Who cares about her? I'll destroy a thousand of her temples if I have to! I told you I was good. Tell him! Tell him how good I am, Xena!
Xena : Good enough to die young.

Ares, God of War : Course, if anyone wants my help, all she's gotta do is call!
-
Xena : I don't get it, Ares. All this just to see your new girlfriend fight?
Ares, God of War : No. Watch my old girlfriend fight. I missed it.

Mavican : Ares! Ares! Help me! Help me!
Ares, God of War : Mavican, are you asking for my help?
Mavican : Yes, I'm asking for your help, God of War!
Xena : She's asking for your help.
[Xena looks triumphant. Ares opens the portal home and Xena jumps through]
Mavican : What are you doing, Ares? You said I could ask!
Ares, God of War : Yeah, I said you could. I never said you should.
-
Gabrielle : You said anyone could ask for your help.
Xena : Years ago, Ares said to me that anyone who asks for his help doesn't deserve it. So when Mavican asked...
Gabrielle : She lost.
Ares, God of War : I really gotta be more careful with my riddles.
