"Here, give me that (taking the cup away from Gabrielle). I want you to close your eyes."
"No."
"Trust me, please."
"No."
"Close your eyes."(places a scroll in Gabrielle's lap)
"What is this?"
"Open it. I had Sappho jot something down for you."
"A poem? Sappho wrote a poem for me. I don't believe it. Xena, you had this planned all along, didn't you? (Gabrielle reads the poem) ... There's a moment when I look at you And no speech is left in me My tongue breaks Then fire races under my skin and I tremble And grow pale for I am dying of such love Or so it seems to me.'"
"It's beautiful. This is the best birthday present I have ever had."
'Course, it ain't over yet. [puts the helmet on and the girls fly off into the sunset together] Happy birthday, Gabrielle!
