Gabrielle and Ares in “Forget Me Not”

Gabrielle

I wanted to get there before Xena so that I could betray her. I wanted to betray her. I gave her everything and it had meant nothing to her. I hated her for loving someone else. I wanted her to hurt. I wanted her to be punished. And, I almost got her killed. My hatred and jealousy almost destroyed my best friend.

Ares

So, now you have the answer. The question is can you live with it?

Gabrielle

If the bowl is ever empty, so go my memories.

Ares

And the pain, all that pain.

Gabrielle

And the memories of my youth, my parents, my loves ...

Ares

... the betrayal, the killing, the death of your child.

Gabrielle

And Xena.

Ares

Bottom line, Gabrielle, you won't miss what you never knew.
