Ephiny [Eph] Amarise [Ama] Chilapa [Chi] Pompey [Pom] Carminus [Car] Chi: "Xena-- you'd better come to the top of the hill-- quickly." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- Chi: "There-- to the south of us." G: "I thought Pompey was coming from the north." X: "He is. That's-- " Bru: "Xelifus-- the legion I was to command when I located Pompey. Caesar's taken advantage of the situation." Soldier's Voice: "Stay together!" X: "Pompey hits us from the north, and Caesar hits us from the south. In getting to Pompey, Caesar wants to obliterate us." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- [ACT IV] Soldier's Voice: "Keep in formation!" X: "Brutus, if I hand you over to Pompey, he's going to kill you." Bru: "I'm willing to take that chance-- and I don't think you have much choice." X: "That's where you're wrong. I do have choices. I've had choices since we first captured you. No, I think I'd rather give you back to Caesar. Cut down the Romans and take them to the rear." Ama's Voice: "What about our defense?" X: "If my plan works, we won't need them. And besides-- we don't kill just for the sake of it.." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- Xelifus [Xel]: "Brutus-- we were told you were captured by the Amazons." Bru: "I'm taking command, Xelifus." Xel: "The honor of command is yours-- as always." Bru: "Give the order to wheel eastward. We're taking Pompey from the side." Xel: "Yes, sir-- immediately." Bru: "And bring up the artillery. We're gonna blast a path right through to Pompey's command-- starting from that hill." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- Soldiers' Voices: "Char-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-ge!" [Fight] X: "Ready-- and-- fi-i-i-i-i-ire! First wave-- ata-a-a-ack!" Ama: "Ah-h-h-h-h-h! What are you doing?!" X: "Pull back! Now-w! Amarise-- I need you to do something for me. I need you to stay here and hold the line." Ama: "Right-- count on it." X: "One more thing-- protect Gabrielle." Ama: "Are you kidding me?" X: "You heard me. Do as I say." Ama: "Hold! Hold!" [X charges.] Ama: "You better get back to camp. You might get hurt." G: "You don't know me very well. Hold your positions! We have to wait and give Xena more time! Hold the line. For Ephiny! Ephiny-y-y-y-y-!" Ama: "Go! Go! Go!" G: "Ephiny-y-y-y-y!" Ama: "Duck!" G: "Thanks." Car: "Pompey, Magnus-- Brutus is approaching from the east. We _have_ to d isengage with the Amazons and turn-- " Pom: "No! We stay-- and we fight! [Mouths] Xena. [Normal Voice] Xena. to ar-r-r-r-r-rms!" [More fighting] Pom: "Wait! If you kill me-- Caesar gains control. You know it-- and I know it. That's the balance I give you, Xena. It's always been like that. And you may hate us both-- but without one-- you can't control the other. Now, if you let me live-- well-- we can't destroy the world if we're trying to destroy each other now, can we? Hmm? Ah-h-h-h!" X: "It's not about balance, anymore." Amazons: [Cheer]
