Xena: Warrior Princess, Season 3

Pompey:
If you are anything like me, you would feel naked without a weapon. (Xena puts it down) Whether you use it or not, there is something reassuring about the weight of a solid blade.

Xena:
I wasn't aware I needed a weapon here. Unless, there's something I should know about.

Pompey:
Caesar has no interest of trading Vercinix for Crassus. And more than that, he sent Brutus to find your friend Gabrielle.

Xena:
You mean Crassus.

Pompey:
No, it is your friend he wants. He seems to think she has some sort of power over you. He wants that power.

Xena:
And what's your interest in all this? (Pompey taps his chest and bows slightly)

Pompey:
I am but a servant of Rome.I want what is good for her.But if Caesar and Crassus weren't in the way I could do many things.(He takes his dagger, looks at it, looks at Xena, puts it on the table) For one, I could release the barbarian. The knife is a gift. One that will get owner safely past my army outside of Rome. (Xena looks at it) Goodbye,Xena.
