Gabrielle quotes from Xena: Warrior Princess

Xena

The only reason why people like Eli exist is because people like us defend them when they won't defend themselves.

Gabrielle

(Angrily) So Ares is right? The whole future is shaped by warriors? (Walks away)

Ares

You'll always be a goody-two-shoes!

Gabrielle

Yeah, but with a really big sword.

Xena

You guys cut it pretty fine with that attack.

Gabrielle

Huh.

Xena

Nearly ran out of foreplay...just about had to go through with it.

Gabrielle

Xena, when someone invents an accurate time-keeping device, then I can synchronize the plan better.

Well, I'm a virgin and I'm gonna stay that way forever.

Xena

Forever is a long time...

What's it like, being with a man?

Xena

The good news is, it's different every time...bad news is - it's different every time. You're always hoping for a Greek fire, but sometimes you just get diddly.

Gabrielle

Xena has studied the subject more than I have but I think she's trying to say that some people are better lovers than others.

What makes a man a good lover? Being gentle and kind?

Queen Gabrielle.

Gabrielle

wakes up startled Not tonight.

Ares

What happened to the peace-loving, blond chick you used to be?

Gabrielle

Ares, [plants herself on his lap] that Gabrielle's been gone for a long time. You and Xena showed me that warriors rule the world, not philosophers.

Ares

I could get used to this. I could.

Are you challenging me?

Gabrielle

If it comes to that, I am challenging you.

Gabrielle

There's more to being a warrior than skill. There's fighting for what you believe in. For people that you love.

You know, before I met you, I never thought of a warrior as having any love but the love of battle.

Gabrielle

Xena, there was nothing you could do. He was evil.

Xena

No, he was damaged, he wasn't evil.

Xena

Hey! [swats a pesky make-up girl away]

Gabrielle

[having a microphone hooked to her top] Hey, watch where you put your hands!

Xena

Yeah, you watch where you put your hands, buddy.

Varia

To a strong Amazon nation.

Gabrielle

To a strong Amazon nation.

Varia

How's the eye?

Gabrielle

How's the hand?

Varia

Fine. Why?

Gabrielle

I thought maybe you sprained it on my face

Mac

So, what do you guys think of the show?

Xena

I like the one who plays me. She's kinda sexy.

Gabrielle

What about this writing, Xena? I mean, it's not exactly Euripides. They've taken liberties with my scrolls.

Xena

Yeah, and what are they trying to say about our relationship, anyway?

Gabrielle

Who knows.

Moon shines bright, by fire's light. Amazon baby, sleep tonight.

A lot of people know that song.

Hush-a-bye. Please don't cry. Xenon sings his lullaby.

Xena

In the third act, you had your hero throw himself over the cliff with no fear of dying. All for her. Do you really believe that kind of love exists?

Gabrielle

That's what we all dream about, isn't it? Someone who looks so deeply into our soul that they'd find something worth dying for.

Xena

You brought the world back to us.

Gabrielle

I'm glad. I like this one better.

Xena

Even though you're not a famous playwright?

Gabrielle

Fame, who needs it?
