Dialog

Mael: I don't know who -- or what -- you are, but this business is none of yours.
Xena: My name is Xena. And the way I see it, a half-dozen men going after one small defenseless boy kinda makes it my business. (pause) Call it my maternal instinct.

...

Mael: preaching to a bunch of men: My father is a wise man, but also an aging man in failing health. No doubt, he doesn't see Xena for what she truly is: A trial, sent to us, by the Almighty, to test our resolve. Can you doubt it? All you have to do is look at her, to see she's unnatural -- an affront to God. A woman with the strength of ten men? Out on the road alone, save only her scrawny little companion? It's a complete abomination! And to think -- this ... freak of nature has my brother. A boy, so innocent and pure that the all-powerful one has called him to his side at the tender age of twelve. How do you think the Supreme Deity feels about that? Leaving his chosen one in the hands of a woman whose gods are as primitive as she is?
Crowd: Xena must die!
Crowd: Yeah! [cheers]
