Xorys'Xena Trivia Challenge, Section 2 - Quotations This is the second section of my Trivia Challenge - Quotations. For overall details of the Trivia Challenge, see the Main Trivia Challenge Page at: http://webhome.idirect.com/~nuzhathl/quizmain.html There are 192 numbered quotations below. If you are sending your answers to the Challenge in to me (xorys@idirect.ca), to be in competition for the Trivia Hall Of Fame (see details on the Main Trivia Challenge Page), please just send a numbered list from 1 to 192, giving your answers for each quotation. All quotations are taken from episodes of the first three seasons of Xena: Warrior Princess or the three HTLJ episodes generally known as the Xena Trilogy (The Warrior Princess, The Gauntlet and Unchained Heart). Other HTLJ episodes, even crossover eps, do not figure in any way in the answers to this Challenge, and even if a quotation occurs in some other HTLJ ep, no credit will be given for citing this. No points will be deducted for spelling - any spelling is ok, so long as I can tell what you mean, and your rendering of character names is close enough to the way they sounded on the episode that your answer is clear. I, however, have used the standard spellings wherever possible, with reference to the credits, and to The Official Guide. And I've proof-read the quotations several times. So if you think you find an error in one of the quotations, be careful! You may be right - but think whether the quotation as written could be right before you assume I've made a mistake. Acronyms may be used for episode titles so long as they are clear - e.g. it is ok to use ADITL for A Day In The Life, but be careful to distinguish between The Prodigal and The Price, between the HTLJ ep The Warrior Princess and the X:WP ep Warrior...Princess, and between Destiny, The Deliverer, and The Debt etc. For two part eps (The Debt, Sacrifice), you must specify the correct part for your answer to be marked correct (e.g. always write "The Debt 1" or "The Debt II", not just "The Debt"). For entries being marked, answers will be scored as follows: 1 point will be given for each quotation, 1/2 a point for the episode, and 1/2 a point for the speaker. The 1/2 point for the speaker will not be awarded if the episode is wrong. Some of the quotations were spoken by more than one speaker - in these cases the 1/2 point for the speaker will be divided (e.g. 1/4 point for each of 2 speakers). I don't think that any of the quotations were spoken exactly as written in more than one episode - but if you can prove me wrong and cite two places where a quotation occurred, I will give two points for that answer. If you're competing, good luck! And if you're just doing this for amusement, have fun! The Quotations: 1. ...And as for the apple, I can pick my own. 2.

Xena, you just don't realize how primitive you really are. 168. Xena? Xena of Corinth? The Warrior Princess of Kalmai? The one who defeated Callisto? 169. Yeah. Yeah. I'm good. I'm good.
