Amarice quotes from Xena: Warrior Princess

Ephiny

We look first and then we attack.

Amarice

In my tribe looking first is like giving a warning.

Ephiny

What does your tribe think about following orders?

Amarice

Hey, Roman, have you ever witnessed an Amazon execution before? I don't know how they do it here, but in my tribe it took a long, long time. And as the life oozed out of you, we talk to you and ask you how it felt.

Brutus

You're such a child. I've seen death that you could never dream of. And the fact that you told me that story means that you never saw it, or you're a fool.

Amarice

I was thinking about what you said, Xena, about not finding my answers at the end of a sword, and it seemed to make sense. And then I started thinking about old Pompey and it seems to me that he found an answer at the end of yours.

Gabrielle

Amarice, did you not find any philosophy behind those words?

Amarice

Yeah, kick butt and take names later.

Xena

(to Gabrielle) It's going to take some time.

Amarice

I don’t get it.

Xena

What?

Amarice

You and Gabrielle. Are you really gonne just let her pardon Brutus?

Xena

Then what do you suggest? That we take over the village, chain up Gabrielle and kill him?

Amarice

Pick one, I’ll go with it.

Xena

You know Gabrielle is not the weakling that you think she is. She’s seen more of life and death then you will ever know. This is just one more battle and she’s got her own way of fighting it!

Amarice

But letting him go? Are you crazy?!

Xena

Her battle isn’t with Brutus, it’s with this! *hold up her sword* With this! *hold up Amarices dagger* With war and with hatred and you know what? Sometimes I don’t like the way she goes about it but I’ve come to understand her. *small pause*

Xena

Amarice, you’re so young. And when you’re young, you think that the answers are simple to find. You think you can find them on the point of a sword. Well you’re wrong. I just pray that you live long enough to lay down your sword and look for those answers in yourself.

Eli

Selfless, pure Love is the only divine perfection we have in this world. It is the greatest power one can possess.

Amarice

Oh C'mon, the only real power is at the end of a sword .

Eli

And if the other side has more swords?

Amarice

If you can love your way out of this one, be my guest.
