Amarice and Xena in “Endgame”

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.
