Xena: Warrior Princess quotes

You have seen what you're destined to be. In your next life, you will walk the way of a saint.However, you will never achieve that life if you don't follow the way you're on now.

Xena

The way of the warrior.

Yes.You must not be hesitant to fight in a just cause.It is better to die following your own way than to live following someone else's. When you ride into combat, act without attachment, and carry with you the confidence that you are fulfilling your calling in this life, then you will know the way.

Xena

I understand.

Then go.Rise up like fire and burn all that oppose you.And if you're following the path of the Way, call my name. An the strength to defeat Indrujit willbe given to you. Are you ready?

Xena

I am ready.

Xena

So it's the way of love for you, huh?

Gabrielle

Yeah.Yours is the way of the warrior.I've always known that.

Xena

And Ive always known that it was wrong for you. I'm sorry I took you so far from your truth.

Gabrielle

Don't be sorry... Xena. Do you think I could have understood the power of selfless love, if it weren't for our friendship?

Xena

Still, I think maybe you should travel with Eli for a while.

No. You and I stay together.

Xena

Gabrielle, we are headed in opposite directions in life.

Gabrielle

All rivers run tot the sea. We'll end up in the same place. I am sure of it. (Xena caresses Gabrielle's shoulder) Thank you.

Xena

For what?

Gabrielle

For not mentioning the dams.

Xena

You're welcome.

Xena

Gabrielle, the Prince needs my help in Arcon. I'm going to go ahead, you go back to Piraeus and catch up with me when you can.

Gabrielle

Are you sure?

Xena

Sure I'm sure. Go on, make us both happy.

Gabrielle

Thank you.

Xena

Don't mention it.

Gabrielle

Okay

Xena

Well, when I say 'Don't mention it,' I mean...you can mention it. (Sulkily) It's just a figure of speech. You don't have to take it literally. It wouldn't kill you to maybe look back or something. Aw, rats. All right, Argo, it's just you and me.

Oh, by the way, I do not play quadrupeds. Make sure the role reflects that.

Gabrielle

What?

I do not play four-legged creatures.

Gabrielle

But, you're a centaur.

I am an Actor. I refuse to limit myself.

Gabrielle

I have an announcement to make. A message means nothing if no one hears it. A flower in the forest is just a plant if no one sees it.

Gabrielle

We're going to need more blood. I want more skin, I want action, I want weapons, I want battlefields with beaten bloody bodies. We're going to take this little flower and we're going to cram it down their throats for their own good.

I just don't buy that Xena.

There's the opening of Buffus the Bacchae Slayer across the street.

Najara

I've changed, Xena. I put down the sword.

Xena

And I'm the Queen of Egypt.

Najara

We walk the same path, Gabrielle, our lives dedicated to defeating Evil by promoting Peace. It's our Way, the Way Eli taught us. A reverence for life. Stray from that path, whatever the reason, the consequences could be devastating for everyone.

Xena

New outfit. New religion. Same old wacko underneath.

Xena

You hurt Gabrielle and I will change you in ways that are anything but peaceful.

Najara

You forget, hurting Gabrielle is your job, or have those visions gone away? You know, the vision of your death and hers. I want to share a life of Peace with her, you want to share a violent death. You tell me who's the villain here, me or you.

Xena

I gotta ask you this, Mom. You killed once before to protect me. Is history repeating itself?

Cyrene

That was different. I was protecting a child.

Xena

Well, you know what they say, no matter what your age, you're always a child to your mother.

Autolycus

Big job running a tavern. Lot's of things to keep track of, huh? Food. Drink. Keys. Hey, what do you know, there's a key to my room, and to Xena's, and to Joxer's. Of course, you'd have a key to every room in the place wouldn't you, Cyrene?

Cyrene

Meaning.

Autolycus

Meaning you must know every creaky floor board and squeaky hinge in the place. Why, you could float around like a ghost if you had to.

Autolycus

Bounty hunter checks in, and despite what she says, I think she knew it. You also knew that it was damn likely that your daughter would be on her list.

Xena

Autolycus, we've already had this conversation.

Autolycus

Then you must admit, no one has the means or a stronger motive than your own dear, over-protective mother. Sorry, Cyrene, tough break. Book her, Xena. I'm outta here.

Xena

He's an idiot.

Joxer

I still say it was Minya in the bedroom with a knife.

Would you can it! This isn't some sort of game, you know.

Cyrene

She's right. Discord has long ears. She could show up at any time.

Joxer

That's exactly my point. You keep talking about her ears and she will show up.

Xena

What are you saying?! You can't have killed her, you weren't even here.

Gabrielle

I know, but if it wasn't the knife, it had to have been me. You see, I ran into Raveneka two days ago. I heard she was hot on your trail so I decided to slow her down a bit. I thought I could get here first and warn you. So, I put Joxer's gravy recipe in her water bag.

Xena

That's inhuman!

You're telling me your horse killed her?

Xena

In self-defense.

Autolycus

You gotta admit, fits like a Trojan glove.

But I can't take back a horse. I don't do animals.

That's not what I heard.
