Gabrielle quotes from Xena: Warrior Princess

This isn't about Vircinix, is it?

Xena

Go on, tell us

Assassination ... Caesar's blood on your blade ... this is you way of getting to him.

Gabrielle

You're wrong.

Am I? Have you ever seen Xena around him? Her judgement gets a little impaired.

Xena

You need to be in place before the games. If I am right, the execution will take place at the finale.

Gabrielle

I want to talk about this. There's gotta be another way.

Xena

There's not.The time that Crassus buys us by walking into the arena is the time we need to escape from Rome.

Gabrielle

Why don't we put the horses in place when we are there. Or we could ride.

Xena

If I could accomplish my plan without Crassus dying, then fine. But if this means his death, so be it. We can't think about it. (Gabrielle grabs Xena's elbow)

Gabrielle

But I can't avoid it. You are making me be part of murder and you're being so casual about it.

Xena

It's not about being casual. It's about focus.

Gabrielle

Focus on Caesar.

Xena

Drop it, Gabrielle. This is about saving a good man. Crassus is a cold-blooded murder. I've seen his handiwork.

Gabrielle

I'll do my part.

Xena

Good.

Gabrielle

I don't know what is happening to me,Xena. I did something I would never do. I played judge, jury and executioner. (Holds Crassus' ring and stares at it)

Xena

You only did what I told you to.

Gabrielle

You said Crassus living or dying wasn't the point. I had a choice. I made it.

Xena

Gabrielle, I put you in a situation I had no right to.I expected you to accept my logic in it and ignore you heart.

Gabrielle

But I know you were right.

Xena

It wasn't right for you.It's not who you are. If I had to this all over again... I'd

Gabrielle

You'd still do it.

Xena

If I couldn't find another way, I would. But I wouldn't include you.

Gabrielle

Yeah, but I be hurt if you didn't.

Xena

How many more times are you gonna follow me into battle?...huh...How many more times I am going to hurt you? (Xena caresses Gabrielle) You are the most dear thing to me in all the world... Yet instead of protecting you...

Gabrielle

I am here because I want to be here.I love you, Xena.

Xena

I love you, too, Gabrielle. (Gabrielle drops the ring into the sea)

Gabrielle

I wanted to get there before Xena so that I could betray her. I wanted to betray her. I gave her everything and it had meant nothing to her. I hated her for loving someone else. I wanted her to hurt. I wanted her to be punished. And, I almost got her killed. My hatred and jealousy almost destroyed my best friend.

Ares

So, now you have the answer. The question is can you live with it?

Gabrielle

If the bowl is ever empty, so go my memories.

Ares

And the pain, all that pain.

Gabrielle

And the memories of my youth, my parents, my loves ...

Ares

... the betrayal, the killing, the death of your child.

Gabrielle

And Xena.

Ares

Bottom line, Gabrielle, you won't miss what you never knew.

Gabrielle

(in reference to a particularly racy fresco) That's not humanly possible.

Xena

Sure it is.

Xena

(Watching Gabrielle put on lipstick from red juice) What are you doing?

Gabrielle

Just highlighting perfection with some berry juice.

Xena

Yeah, looks good on you. Only they're not berries, they're crushed bugs I was using for bait

Gabrielle

Have another look ... what? What is it?

Xena

Alright, Gabrielle, that's enough. Come on, please.

No. There's danger, great danger ... and death.

Gabrielle

Did you hear that? She just described every day of our lives.

Xena

Autolycus became a thief to right a terrible wrong.

Gabrielle

I know, he told me. He stole everything from the man who killed his brother. He left him with nothing, just a broken man.

Xena

You see, that was Autolycus' defining moment. He'll always think of himself as a thief.

Gabrielle

That's what makes doing work like this worthwhile.

Autolycus

Yes, half naked men running through the square.

Xena

That's the funny thing about people. Just when you think you've got them figured out they show a completely different side to their character.

Gabrielle

I know what you mean.

Gabrielle

"It's okay to be angry" 15:23 (Netflix)

Xena

"No it's not. Anger clouds the mind, it prevents focus."

I can't believe you're here.

Xena

The Gods themselves couldn't keep me away.

Hope

It's turned into quite the family reunion. What is it now ... four generations? Your parents ... there's you ... me ... my pride, my joy ... your grandson, Mother ... the Destroyer.

Gabrielle

Why aren't you dead?

Hope

Well, it's certainly not from your lack of trying, is it? The truth is I could say the same thing about you if I cared, which I don't.

Gabrielle

I saw the fire. No one survives that.

Hope

No one, but me, Dahak's flame rising up to save me. But then, I've always been Daddy's little girl, haven't I?

Gabrielle

Always

Hope

Is that why you never loved me?

Gabrielle

I loved you, Hope. I just had to stop you.

Hope

For Xena?

Gabrielle

No, for us all.

Xena

Give it a rest, Gabrielle.

Gabrielle

No, not until you clean up your act, Xena.

Xena

Hey, I'm not the one with the fungus among us.

Gabrielle

Oh, yeah, that's poetic. Did one of your little bug friends whisper that in your ear?

Xena

Don't make me hurt you, Scabrielle.

Gabrielle

Alright, Eczema, what are you going to do, huh? You going to use your pressure points? Go on. Go ahead. Go for it. You can't touch me. C'mon. C'mon, you're really tough now Warrior Princess.
