S1 E1Sins of the Past

You know where I'm headed there'll be trouble.

I know.

People are too quick to go for their sword. It should always be the last resort.

I don't want to learn to kill. I want to learn to survive.

All right. The rules of survival. Number one: if you can run, run. Number two: if you can't run...surrender, and then run. Number three: if you are outnumbered, let them fight each other...while you run. Number four...

Wait. More running?

No. Four is where you talk your way out of it, and I know you can do that. It's wisdom before weapons, Gabrielle.

Gabrielle : Did you sleep okay?

Xena : Like a rock. You?

Gabrielle : ON a rock.

S1 E5The Path Not Taken

You're gonna cut your throat and jump? That's a bit overdoing it don't you think?
