Callisto quotes from Xena: Warrior Princess

Callisto

The sight, just the sight, of Xena, Warrior Princess arguing on my behalf amuses me, so let me tell you. Let me answer your question about what I'd do if you let me go. You let me go, and I'll dedicate my life to killing everything you love. Your friends, your family, your reputation - even your horse. I'm being so honest with you, because the idea of your pity is worse than death for me. You see, you created a monster with integrity, Xena. Scary, isn't it?

Callisto

I say before I kill you, I'm going to make you squeal like a pig, you fat pathetic piece of dung.

Callisto

You know I don't drink intoxicants, Theodorus. I like to experience life in all its agonizing glory. I don't want to dull the sensation in any way.

Callisto

Do you know how boring Tartarus can be. Same old torture everyday, everyday.

Callisto

All these years I've spent living to destroy you, thinking that, only if I can give you the same pain that you gave me, I'd be rid of it. And then I do. And nothing changes. I don't feel better. Just empty.

Callisto

Welcome to my world, Xena. Now get ready to leave it.

Callisto

"So how about it. I scratch your back you stab mine."

Callisto

Love is the way.

Xena

Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you without a fair trial.

Callisto

You know, there used to be a little respect mixed up in my hatred for you. But not anymore. Your petty scruples are embarrassing. As a villain, you were awesome. As a hero, you're a sentimental fool.

Callisto

Your not falling in love with me, are you?

Well what if I was?

Callisto

I'd have to kill you. Love is a trick that nature plays to get us to reproduce. I want no part of it.

Look into my eyes old woman, Xena's not home.

Cyrene

Who are you?

Just another loving daughter.

A long time ago you told me the cycle of hate has to end and the only way to end it is through love. It's a hard lesson to learn. Callisto couldn't possibly know or understand that.

'Cause when you think of the dead...

...the dead can hear you.

Callisto

[to Gabrielle] When I sliced open your husband, how long did it take him to die? [Callisto laughs and Gabrielle runs away]

Xena

There's a path out of the mountains to.... [watches Gabrielle run, then turns to Callisto] What's wrong with her?

Callisto

We played a game of truth or dare, but she's not very good at it.

You must have a death wish.

Callisto

You know, it's funny, I think I do.
