Xena and Gabrielle in “When In Rome ...”

Xena

You need to be in place before the games. If I am right, the execution will take place at the finale.

Gabrielle

I want to talk about this. There's gotta be another way.

Xena

There's not.The time that Crassus buys us by walking into the arena is the time we need to escape from Rome.

Gabrielle

Why don't we put the horses in place when we are there. Or we could ride.

Xena

If I could accomplish my plan without Crassus dying, then fine. But if this means his death, so be it. We can't think about it. (Gabrielle grabs Xena's elbow)

Gabrielle

But I can't avoid it. You are making me be part of murder and you're being so casual about it.

Xena

It's not about being casual. It's about focus.

Gabrielle

Focus on Caesar.

Xena

Drop it, Gabrielle. This is about saving a good man. Crassus is a cold-blooded murder. I've seen his handiwork.

Gabrielle

I'll do my part.

Xena

Good.
