Gabrielle quotes from Xena: Warrior Princess

Gabrielle

(to Lila) I know that thing out there looks like me, but it's not. She wants to kill us all.

Gabrielle

I have an announcement to make. A message means nothing if no one hears it. A flower in the forest is just a plant if no one sees it.

Gabrielle

We're going to need more blood. I want more skin, I want action, I want weapons, I want battlefields with beaten bloody bodies. We're going to take this little flower and we're going to cram it down their throats for their own good.

Gabrielle

Callisto... when Xena burned your family did you see them on fire? Did you... did you smell their flesh sizzling? Do you know what I think? You wanted them to die so you'd have a reason to be a bitch.

Gabrielle

Women love flowers. Except Xena, yeah, she's the only woman I know who doesn't stop to smell them.

Gabrielle

Looks like you got your daughter back.

Gabrielle

(to Gurkhan) Are you afraid? Afraid like my mother? My father? Like my sister's husband? Right before you cut off their heads. If I kill you... you win. I become like you, I hate you.

Gabrielle

For once Xena, I'd like to be the Roman noble and you be the slave.

Gabrielle

Xena, my reflexes are those of a warrior. My judgment isn't. I'm afraid that's a bad combination.

Gabrielle

Queen Mawu-Ka, Queen Gwyn-Teir, your friend, Bane, their blood, on the shores of this land. Our sisters have died, but death is not an end to their spirits. Death, it's a pathway to an afterlife. And when it is my time to join them, I want to know that I can grasp them by the hands, I can look them, all in the eyes, and tell them, that their blood was not shed without purpose, that we finished the job that they began. More of us may die today, but the Amazon nation. It will live on forever. That is the duty that we carry, and the everlasting honor that we will hold.

Xena

You know where I'm headed there'll be trouble.

Gabrielle

I know.

Xena

Then why would you want to go into that with me?

Gabrielle

That's what friends do. They stand by each other when there's trouble.

Xena

Alright... friend.

Xena

And I wish you were here. It's hard to be alone.

Gabrielle

You're not alone.

Xena

He looks like a gentle soul, that's rare in a man.

Gabrielle

It's not the gentle part I have a problem with, it's the dull, stupid part.

Xena

JUMP!

Gabrielle

If I die I'm never talking to you again!

Xena

You call that a jump??

Gabrielle

No, it was a frantic leap...best I could do.

Xena

Don't tell me! That was HIM?

Gabrielle

'Fraid so.

Xena

Remind me to have a talk with you about your taste in men.

Gabrielle

You're waiting for the right moment to say I told you so, aren't you?

Xena

Nope. I'm waiting for you to say it for me.
