Xena: Warrior Princess · Season 6
I mean, Gabrielle, what are we gonna do? Wander around Greece our whole lives looking for trouble? Why don't we go away? Far away? What do ya say?
I can't believe you're awake, much less listening to me.
Let's go south to the land of the Pharaohs. I hear they're in need of a girl with a chakram.
I know you're a good man. In the teahouse, I felt the compassion in your heart. Don't fear me.
Who? Who was that demon?
The Lord of the Dark Land. He's preparing an army to wage war in Higuchi and slowly, the populace. Honorable monk [hands him a samurai sword] I beg you to do what must be done to stop him enslaving the souls of that city.
But I'm no swordsman.
There's one in the west, far beyond the setting sun.
A samurai? A priest? A god?
No, a warrior princess.
I'm just a girl in search of a really good sword.
If I only have thirty seconds to live.
We're going to be together … for eternity.
You brought out the best in me.
Gabrielle, this is how I want to live them, looking into your eyes.
It's too quiet out here.
Gabrielle, what would you do? Listen not just to the sounds, but what's behind the sounds. Always remember that I love you.
I deserve to die with the dignity of a warrior.
Dignity, huh? Like you showed my friend? [throws the chakram at him which ricochets off his head and a few boulders, and then returns to her waiting hand]
[Having finally regained possession of Xena's ashes, Gabrielle opens the urn to dip it into the Fountain of Strength. Xena places a hand on the urn.]
No, Gabrielle.
Xena.
No.
Xena, the sun is setting. I have to bring you back to life.
No, not if it means condemning the souls of the forty thousand who burned at Higuchi.
The souls are free.
They're free from Yodoshi's grasp. Akemi didn't want to tell me this in case I wouldn't come back to help … but for those souls to be released into a state of grace, they must be avenged. I must stay dead.
But if I bring you back to life...
...The souls will be lost forever.
Xena, that is not right. I don't care. You're all that matters to me.
Don't you know how much I want to let you do this? But if there's a reason for our travels together, it's because I had to learn from you, enough to know the final, the good, the right thing to do. I can't come back. I can't.
I love you, Xena. How am I supposed to go on without you?
I'll always be with you, Gabrielle. Always.
[sailing back across the sea, holding Xena's ashes close] A life of journeying has brought you to the farthest lands, to the very edge of the Earth.
[appearing beside her friend] And to the place where I'll always remain - your heart.
So where to now?
I think we should go south to the land of the Pharaohs. I hear they need a girl with a chakram.
Where you go … I'm at your side.
I knew you'd say that.
