Gabrielle quotes from Xena: Warrior Princess

Gabrielle

Oh, Argo, Argo, Argo. Somebody walked by with an apple and she followed him home.

Xena

Hah!

Gabrielle

That's what horses do!

Xena

(to Argo) How did Ascius win you over? (Argo motions over to an apple tree) What? Apples? You left me for apples? Thanks, pal.

Xena

I don't ask for much. I just want my pony back. Where's Gabrielle?

Joxer

Nature called.

Gabrielle

No, it screamed like a wild banshee.

You've done this before.

Gabrielle

A couple of times.

I've never been in a war. I've only wondered what it's like. When I think of Phlanagus out there fighting ... sometimes the thoughts are too much to bear.

Gabrielle

I know what you mean.

I could tell that he hated it. He wrote to me telling there was no glory, no honor, just a monster that needed to be fed. And now, I finally have him back ... and the monster's followed him home.

What is it like to kill someone?

Gabrielle

It changes everything. Everything.

Gabrielle

What in Tartarus have you been carrying on these shoulders?

Xena

I wouldn't know. I try not to over analyze my life like some people.

Gabrielle

Some people say that an unexamined life is not worth living.

Xena

Those people haven't led my life.

Gabrielle

Are you sure I was dying? Xena, the gods know that I have been tied to a cross before. You helped me then, what makes you think that this ‘vision' is different?

Xena

It was so real ... the way you looked ... the mountain in the background ... it's true, or it could be.

Gabrielle

Well, I'm not going to believe it.

Gabrielle

What happened?

Xena

I just got out-smarted by my own tactics.

Gabrielle

(re: Satrina) Do you think she made it?

Xena

Probably, like she said, she's a survivor.

Gabrielle

You're honoring the river, kaltaka.

Honor life.

Xena

Well, you have a funny way of showing it. They killed hundreds of us.

You killers. You kill trees, earth, all. And when we say ‘no, go from here,' you kill Pomira.

Xena

Gabrielle, because of you, Rahl and Adiah now know that their daughter is alive and happy, and not dead like they thought. And because of you, Vanessa has two loving homes. And because of you, for the first time ever, there is peace between us and the Hor ... the Pomira.

Gabrielle

I did all that? And they call you the hero?

Xena

You wanna switch? Fine. You kick butt and I'll take notes.

Gabrielle

It's beautiful, don't you think?

Xena

Yeah, in that yucky-I'm-in-paradise kind of way.

Gabrielle

I fell down a hole.

Xena

Yeah. What is it with you and holes huh?

Gabrielle

I want to ask him to teach me his breathing techniques. Will you come with me?

Xena

Thanks, but I've been breathing just fine on my own for years now.

Gabrielle

What's up?

Xena

Us. At least, we should be. Come on, get up. We could go do some Yoga, get something to eat. We can be on the road by noon.

Gabrielle

Yoga? We're going to do Yoga? As in you and me? (Chuckles) Okay, who are you and what have you done with Xena?

Xena

Ha ha.

There is a great Evil in the future that is hunting Xena's soul. It has found her. If it succeeds, Xena's karmic cycle will end, along with all the good of her future lives.

Gabrielle

Who is her enemy?

I don't know. I had to send her there quickly to defend herself. I was not able to tell her much before she left.

Gabrielle

Send me there.

I'm not sure that's wise.

Gabrielle

This ‘karma' that you're talking about, can you see mine? Can you see how much Xena is a part of that?

Yes, in many lives ... past and future.
