Pompey and Xena in “When In Rome ...”

If you are anything like me, you would feel naked without a weapon. (Xena puts it down) Whether you use it or not, there is something reassuring about the weight of a solid blade.

Xena

I wasn't aware I needed a weapon here. Unless, there's something I should know about.

Caesar has no interest of trading Vercinix for Crassus. And more than that, he sent Brutus to find your friend Gabrielle.

Xena

You mean Crassus.

No, it is your friend he wants. He seems to think she has some sort of power over you. He wants that power.

Xena

And what's your interest in all this? (Pompey taps his chest and bows slightly)

I am but a servant of Rome.I want what is good for her.But if Caesar and Crassus weren't in the way I could do many things.(He takes his dagger, looks at it, looks at Xena, puts it on the table) For one, I could release the barbarian. The knife is a gift. One that will get owner safely past my army outside of Rome. (Xena looks at it) Goodbye,Xena.
