What's she told you about me, little girl? Has she told you about my powers? Has she told you about this? (shows Gabrielle Xena's vision of their deaths) That's my gift to you. That's your future. She's responsible for your death.
You BITCH!
S4 E15Between the Lines
S4 E16The Way
HHanuman
How wonderful. You climb tress just like one of us. You must have learned from monkeys.
Nope. Amazons.
KKrishna
You must open up you heart to me if you are going to tap into the strength which will allow you to defeat Indrijit.
I thought that's what the prayers were for.
KKrishna
That got my attention. Now you have to go one step further. You have to embrace the Way.
The Way? I've heard about the Way in Greece, Chin, Anatolia and now India. I don't get it. The Way is not for people like me.
KKrishna
You're wrong. You're very close to the Way now. However, missing it by the width of a hair is the same as missing it by the height of a mountain.
That close, I don't think so. I don't have the patience of Gabrielle, the Love of Eli or the serenity of my mentor Lao Ma. I'm just an angry, ass-kicking ...
KKrishna
... warrior.
Yes, a warrior.
KKrishna
You say that with disgust.
Well, it doesn't rank up there with the saints, does it?
Xena... Since I met you I've been on this spiritual quest.I've been looking for the meaning to it all.Why don't you ever ask those questions?
As a matter of fact I have been thinking a lot about reincarnation since we came to India.
You see maybe being a warrior is not the right karma for you. Maybe you should look to peace.
Maybe violence isn't the answer to anything. (stabs a guy-demon with the stick) Why are you following us?... (in the battle Xena hesitates due to overthinking and gets a wound)
What's the matter?
It's this wound. That demon should have never gotten a blade on me.
Xena, you're only human.Everybody loses focus sometimes.
It's not just that I lost focus.It's why.A few days ago I saw my future life. You saw it, too.I am destined to be reborn as some kind of saint.
But that's wonderful, isn't it?
Yes, but if I already earned that karma...can I still mess it up?Maybe I was shown my future life for a reason. Maybe I'm supposed to change the way that I'm living this life, here and now.But either way a warrior cannot ask these question in the heat of battle. When the kill is there, you have to take it.If I can't do that, I can't be a warrior anymore.
KKrishna
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.
The way of the warrior.
KKrishna
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.
I understand.
KKrishna
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?
I am ready.
So it's the way of love for you, huh?
Yeah.Yours is the way of the warrior.I've always known that.
And Ive always known that it was wrong for you. I'm sorry I took you so far from your truth.
Don't be sorry... Xena. Do you think I could have understood the power of selfless love, if it weren't for our friendship?
Still, I think maybe you should travel with Eli for a while.
GGebrielle
No. You and I stay together.
Gabrielle, we are headed in opposite directions in life.
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.
For what?
For not mentioning the dams.
You're welcome.
S4 E17The Play's The Thing
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.
Are you sure?
Sure I'm sure. Go on, make us both happy.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
Okay
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.
DDustinus
Oh, by the way, I do not play quadrupeds. Make sure the role reflects that.
What?
DDustinus
I do not play four-legged creatures.
But, you're a centaur.
DDustinus
I am an Actor. I refuse to limit myself.
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.
(Cast looks around incomprehensibly)
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.
C1Critic #1
I just don't buy that Xena.
C2Critic #2
There's the opening of Buffus the Bacchae Slayer across the street.
S4 E18The Convert
I've changed, Xena. I put down the sword.
And I'm the Queen of Egypt.
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.
New outfit. New religion. Same old wacko underneath.
You hurt Gabrielle and I will change you in ways that are anything but peaceful.
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.
