Dialog
After Velasca tortures Autolycus and then leaves, he says weakly, "Hey, I paid for an hour."
Critical X/G relationship scene
- G: Xena, I can't lose you again.
- X: Gabrielle, I'll always be here.
- (Spirit-world Xena leans in to kiss Gabrielle on the lips; the camera zooms in for the kiss ... and zooms back out to Autolycus' real body kissing Gabrielle. They look a little startled.)
- Well, I hope you two worked things out.
- G: We did. Thank you. I mean that.
- A: Oh certainly. Whatever is necessary. I'm here for you both.
- G: Autolycus.
- A: Huh?
- G: Get your hand off my butt.
- A: Oh! heh heh. Can you imagine ...
- (Invisible Xena socks him)
Disclaimer
"Xena's body was not harmed during the production of this motion picture. However, it took weeks for Autolycus to get his swagger back."
