Xena and K'ao Hsin in “Purity”

Xena

Hey, K'ao Hsin, what do you think? Huh? - What's wrong?

K'ao Hsin

I'm plagued with doubt and fear. I can't still my mind.

Xena

Fear of what?

K'ao Hsin

My sister's hate. I hear her words echoing through my mind, telling me that I am weak. And she's right! I'll never have the strength to defeat her.

Xena

Wrong. It takes great strength to show compassion. Lao Ma taught us both that. That's what we're going to need to beat Pao Ssu.

K'ao Hsin

I don't understand.

Xena

Yes, you do! [ Softly ] You do. You said yourself. Lao Ma lives on in her legacy. And each of us holds a part of that. Her blood is in your heart. Her lessons are in mine. If we focus together, we don't need the book.

K'ao Hsin

"The hawk and the dove must be made one with the wisdom." All this time, I thought it was Pao Ssu. But it's you.
