Toris quotes from Xena: Warrior Princess

Toris

You murdering harpy!

Gabrielle

I thought you said your brother was killed by Cortese...

Xena

No, that was my younger brother. Gabrielle, this is my older brother, Toris.

Gabrielle

Huh, you're full of surprises.

Xena

Toris has some surprises of his own. That's the mask of Cortese.

Toris

That's right. It's the only way I can get close enough to Cortese-- to kill him.

Xena

I want Cortese as much as you do. But murder is not the answer. I learned the hard way about justice –

Toris

Learned the hard way? Are you bragging? What I saw of you when I left our village was not something to be proud of.

Xena

And what did you see? Someone had to step forward. Cortese would have slaughtered us all if we hadn't fought.

Toris

If our people had followed me to the hills –

Xena

Cortese would have hunted us down like dogs. I had to make a stand, and I wasn't the only one show believed that.

Toris

That's right. Our brother believed it. Lyceus stood by you to the end. And it was his end, remember?

Xena

I said fight because it was our village. Lyceus believed in that, and I would say it again.

Toris

What are you doing?

Gabrielle

I'm listening with my body. See, Xena says that you have to listen to the attack before you see it. She's just.. She's amazing! I mean, I learned so much about inner strength just from watching her.

Xena

Toris...

Toris

How do you put up with that girl?

Xena

Why? She knows more about wisdom and justice than you'll ever know.
