Gabrielle quotes from Xena: Warrior Princess

Gabrielle

You can't sweet-talk information out of me - wrong target.

Oh, I don't know. Some people consider me the king of sweet-talk.

Gabrielle

Well, hand over the crown, 'cause you just met your match. When I was five, I talked my parents into giving me my own pony.

When I was fifteen, I talked a warlord into giving me his army.

Gabrielle

I once talked a Cyclops out of his dinner. And I was the dinner.

I talked Xena into marrying me.

Xena

[far from both of them] Gabrielle, why don't you walk up here with me?

Gabrielle

You can keep your crown.

Gabrielle

So, what's this Petracles like?

Xena

He's a warlord. He's an ambitious, ruthless, dominating, conniving lair. He'll say anything he can to get a woman to fall for him, and then once he has her, he uses her.

Gabrielle

So you've met.

Xena

We were to be married.

When Xena and I met, we were very young. Neither of us knew what love was. We confused possesion for passion. We had to own each other. I was a little better at it than she was. I asked her to marry me because I thought that was the best way to conquer her.

Gabrielle

I bet you had a surprise coming!

No, Gabrielle, it worked. She was mine. And when I realized I had her I didn't want her anymore.

Tell me what to do to be a convincing Xena.

Gabrielle

Well for starters, stop crying.

This is my round killing-thing.

Gabrielle

Chakram

Bless you.

Gabrielle

Xena! (Xena emerges from the lake)

Xena

He's in the Elysian fields.

Gabrielle

You will be together one day.

Xena

We'll never be apart. He's in here,(taps her heart twice)forever

Autolycus

Malthus...I don't steal from him.

Gabrielle

(laughs) He's afraid.

Autolycus

No, we have an arrangement. I don't steal from him, he doesn't gouge my eyes out with hot pokers. It's worked out very well so far.

Autolycus

You're trying to use my ego against me.

Gabrielle

I didn't think it would work.

Autolycus

No, it worked. I'll do it.

Autolycus

Ah, Xena, I think I found your disguise. The assistant of Sintares would wear no less. (holds up skimpy outfit)

Gabrielle

Any less and there wouldn't be.

Gabrielle

By the Gods!

Xena

What is it?

Gabrielle

You are beautiful!

Gabrielle

I'm great. I can't see but I'm good.

Xena

Try using both eyes.

Gabrielle

Oh, oh yeah that's better.

Xena

Think you can stand?

Gabrielle

You mean I'm not?

Xena

Have I made myself clear?

Gabrielle

No. You're a little fuzzy around the edges so you keep trying, you'll get there.

Xena

What are you doing here? I thought I told you to wait for me at the cave.

Gabrielle

I did and then this rock told me I had to come find you.

Xena

The rock spoke to you?

Gabrielle

Well, yeah, I mean his voice was a little gravely but I understood...

Gabrielle

Did I hurt you?

Xena

No, no, loving every minute of it.

Xena

He seeks a man for the horse.

Gabrielle

He stole it, didn't he?

Xena

Nope.

Gabrielle

Is he your father?

Xena

All I know is that he didn't lie about the horse.
