I gotta ask you this, Mom. You killed once before to protect me. Is history repeating itself?
That was different. I was protecting a child.
Well, you know what they say, no matter what your age, you're always a child to your mother.
S4 E19Takes One to Know One
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?
Meaning.
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.
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.
Autolycus, we've already had this conversation.
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.
He's an idiot.
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.
She's right. Discord has long ears. She could show up at any time.
That's exactly my point. You keep talking about her ears and she will show up.
What are you saying?! You can't have killed her, you weren't even here.
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.
That's inhuman!
DDiscord
You're telling me your horse killed her?
In self-defense.
You gotta admit, fits like a Trojan glove.
DDiscord
But I can't take back a horse. I don't do animals.
That's not what I heard.
S4 E20Endgame
We look first and then we attack.
In my tribe looking first is like giving a warning.
What does your tribe think about following orders?
You know, Gabrielle, there's only one way you can know have the fish really feel, and that's to become one with them.
Don't do it. Xena, this outfit takes forever to dry.
Oh, well, I've got time.
Hello, Brutus.
Gabrielle, they told me you were the new leader of this tribe.
Thanks to you. You killed Ephiny, our Queen ... my friend.
Ephiny, that was her name. One of the best fighters I've met. She died as a warrior and for that I have no guilt in my actions.
Hey, Roman, have you ever witnessed an Amazon execution before? I don't know how they do it here, but in my tribe it took a long, long time. And as the life oozed out of you, we talk to you and ask you how it felt.
You're such a child. I've seen death that you could never dream of. And the fact that you told me that story means that you never saw it, or you're a fool.
This is a personal message from the Queen of the Amazons to Caesar, Ruler of all Rome. A peace treaty. The Queen of the Amazons promises to respect the territories of ...
If they're not under my control, Brutus, they're a threat.
I was thinking about what you said, Xena, about not finding my answers at the end of a sword, and it seemed to make sense. And then I started thinking about old Pompey and it seems to me that he found an answer at the end of yours.
Amarice, did you not find any philosophy behind those words?
Yeah, kick butt and take names later.
(to Gabrielle) It's going to take some time.
I don’t get it.
What?
You and Gabrielle. Are you really gonne just let her pardon Brutus?
Then what do you suggest? That we take over the village, chain up Gabrielle and kill him?
Pick one, I’ll go with it.
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!
But letting him go? Are you crazy?!
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*
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.
S4 E21The Ides of March
You mean to tell me those stupid, meddling missions she goes on are going to end her up in Paradise?!
HHellion
Probably not Paradise. Most likely she'll be born higher up the Karmic ladder.
Right, she burns my family, destroys my life and I end up in Hell while she gets another shot. That's fair.
IXIllusion Xena
Gotta love the irony.
Selfless, pure Love is the only divine perfection we have in this world. It is the greatest power one can possess.
Oh C'mon, the only real power is at the end of a sword .
(Later, Amarice runs into Roman soldiers carrying swords)
And if the other side has more swords?
If you can love your way out of this one, be my guest.
Don't bother, you've already done all the damage you can to me. Thanks, by the way.
For what?
I wanted to leave this existence and you did your best to help. But, as you can see, it didn't take. They wouldn't let me off the hook that easy.
Who's They?
I don't know, whoever it is who does the final judging. They sent me to a place that makes Tartarus look like the Elysian Fields. They call it Hell.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer gal.
