TV show quotes
This isn't about Vircinix, is it?
Go on, tell us
Assassination ... Caesar's blood on your blade ... this is you way of getting to him.
You're wrong.
Am I? Have you ever seen Xena around him? Her judgement gets a little impaired.
Xena. This is impossible, how can you...This is Rome, you can't...you...
There's a sentence there just dying to get out.
So why do they call you the ‘Warrior Princess?'
Because ‘Caesar' was taken.
You need to be in place before the games. If I am right, the execution will take place at the finale.
I want to talk about this. There's gotta be another way.
There's not.The time that Crassus buys us by walking into the arena is the time we need to escape from Rome.
Why don't we put the horses in place when we are there. Or we could ride.
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)
But I can't avoid it. You are making me be part of murder and you're being so casual about it.
It's not about being casual. It's about focus.
Focus on Caesar.
Drop it, Gabrielle. This is about saving a good man. Crassus is a cold-blooded murder. I've seen his handiwork.
I'll do my part.
Good.
Prison hardly seems the place to tell you this. You look incredible. Roman finery becomes you. (Caesar checks her out)
We are not going down that road. This is business.
It is never just business between us, Xena. It's hatred, war, conflict and it's love. (He leans in)
I gotta go to the bathroom. Are we done yet?
If you are anything like me, you would feel naked without a weapon. (Xena puts it down) Whether you use it or not, there is something reassuring about the weight of a solid blade.
I wasn't aware I needed a weapon here. Unless, there's something I should know about.
Caesar has no interest of trading Vercinix for Crassus. And more than that, he sent Brutus to find your friend Gabrielle.
You mean Crassus.
No, it is your friend he wants. He seems to think she has some sort of power over you. He wants that power.
And what's your interest in all this? (Pompey taps his chest and bows slightly)
I am but a servant of Rome.I want what is good for her.But if Caesar and Crassus weren't in the way I could do many things.(He takes his dagger, looks at it, looks at Xena, puts it on the table) For one, I could release the barbarian. The knife is a gift. One that will get owner safely past my army outside of Rome. (Xena looks at it) Goodbye,Xena.
Caesar(he turns, unimpressed):Hello, Xena!... (Xena is captured in nets)
Interesting.Roman design.I can't believe you would double-cross me.Just as I was about to double-cross you.
How'd you know?
You have one obsession, Xena.That's me.And because of it I have you, I have Vercinix, and somewhere out there, is an irritating blonde with a follow-up plan that no longer exists.
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)
You only did what I told you to.
You said Crassus living or dying wasn't the point. I had a choice. I made it.
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.
But I know you were right.
It wasn't right for you.It's not who you are. If I had to this all over again... I'd
You'd still do it.
If I couldn't find another way, I would. But I wouldn't include you.
Yeah, but I be hurt if you didn't.
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...
I am here because I want to be here.I love you, Xena.
I love you, too, Gabrielle. (Gabrielle drops the ring into the sea)
She is on her journey, Joxer. That Gabrielle is just an empty shell with no realization of her past.
How'd you know my name?
I have your memories ... ow.
I can make her forget. I'm a very forgettable person.
Call me a big softie, but I decided I like you after all.
It's very strange. In every story you tell me, this thing I'm wearing gets smaller. Is it enchanted?
Hmm, intersting. There's an analogy here of course. The water representing our torments, the ice the thin layer of control we like to believe over it, but it's a false confidence.
That´s the spirit, let it go! Pain is just nature´s way of sayin´: Hey, you´re alive!!
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.
So, now you have the answer. The question is can you live with it?
If the bowl is ever empty, so go my memories.
And the pain, all that pain.
And the memories of my youth, my parents, my loves ...
... the betrayal, the killing, the death of your child.
And Xena.
Bottom line, Gabrielle, you won't miss what you never knew.
