Xena Quotes

	Season 6 / Episode 22: - Friend in Need (2) Xena: If there is 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.

	Season 6 / Episode 22: - Friend in Need (2) Gabrielle: A life of journeying has brought you to the farthest lands to the very edges of the Earth. Xena: And to the place where I'll always remain... your heart. So, where to, now? Gabrielle: I think we should go south... to to the land of the Pharaohs. I heard they need a girl with a chakram. Xena: Where you go... I'm at your side. Gabrielle: I knew you'd say that.
	Season 6 / Episode 21: - Friend in Need (1) Xena: Gabrielle, if I only had thirty seconds to live, this is how I'd want to live them - looking into your eyes. Gabrielle: Stop this. Stop it. Xena: Always remember... I love you.
	Season 6 / Episode 20: - Soul Possession Ares: Just out of curiosity... What would have happened here today if I'd really been asking for your hand in marriage, no strings attached? Xena: [after kissing Ares] Guess you'll never know.

	Season 6 / Episode 18: - When Fates Collide Xena: [as Empress of Rome in an altered timeline] Leave us. Joxer: [as a Roman centurion] But Caesar said... Xena: ...to enrage the Empress until she beats the tar out of you? Joxer: I must have missed that one.
	Season 6 / Episode 18: - When Fates Collide Xena: You broght the world back to us. Gabrielle: I'm glad. I like this one better. Xena: Even though you're not a famous playwright? Gabrielle: Fame... Who needs it?
	Season 6 / Episode 18: - When Fates Collide Xena: I will dedicate this life to changing things back to the way they were - and I can do it - because we both know I have many skills.
	Season 6 / Episode 17: - The Last of the Centaurs Xena: Never step between two people and their passion.
	Season 6 / Episode 15: - To Helicon and Back Gabrielle: [after leaving an almost? dead body to the sharks] Was that honorable? I don't think so. Xena: Would you have given yourself for her? [Gabrielle nods] You sent her spirit in peace, Gabrielle. Forward. Come on.
	Season 6 / Episode 15: - To Helicon and Back Bellerophon: Oh, you forget, Xena, you can't kill me, 'cause I'm a half-god! Xena: You forget you're half mortal, too.
	Season 6 / Episode 14: - Path of Vengeance Ares, God of War: [Ares hasn't appeared yet but his voice sounds] Xena, tell me, Xena: have you heard the story of the scorpion and the swan? Xena: You haven't even got the guts to face me. Ares, God of War: See, the scorpion needs to get across the river, and he asks the swan for a ride. And the swan figures: 'It's not much of a risk. The scorpion wouldn't sting the creature who's carrying him over the raging river.' Xena: My daughter's about to die because of you, and you're feeding me fairy tales? Ares, God of War: [He appears behind Xena and starts touching her] Bear with me, it's worth the wait. So, about halfway across, the scorpion tings the swan, and as they're both being swept to their death, the swan asks the scorpion: 'I was helping you. Why did you sting me?' And the scorpion answers... Xena: 'It's what I do.' Ares, God of War: Yeah, it's what I do.
	Season 6 / Episode 14: - Path of Vengeance Ares, God of War: Hey, can I help it if I've played this like the malevolent genius I am? Remember what the scorpion said. Xena: Ares, the scorpion drowned.
	Season 6 / Episode 10: - Old Ares Had A Farm Xena: My grandmother used to sit in this chair and rock and tell me stories of the Olympian gods. Ares: Bet she didn't know you'd grow up to kill most of them.
	Season 6 / Episode 10: - Old Ares Had A Farm Xena: Who are you? Zeke: [caught off guard] They call me "Battling Zeke." Xena: [with a little half-smile] Nobody ever called you that, you just made that up. But unless you want to be known as "dead Zeke," you'll be moving on.
	Season 6 / Episode 10: - Old Ares Had A Farm Xena: Ares, you've gotta do something that no one would ever suspect of you. Ares: Like what? Xena: How are you at shovelin' shit?
	Season 6 / Episode 9: - Return of the Valkyrie (3) Xena: What's the matter with your men? They look like they've seen a ghost. Wiglaf: No, not a ghost: a legend. All these men can talk of is a chance to see you in action. To tell you the truth, I'm... Beowulf: ...about to go and polish your blade. Is that right, Wiglaf? Wiglaf: Fine, send me away.
	Season 6 / Episode 9: - Return of the Valkyrie (3) Xena: I could have done so much good for the Viking people. Beowulf: The Xena I remember could do more good with this sword than a hundred Viking queens could ever do. And the Xena I remember could never forget what happened in that swamp, the face of Gabrielle, the most loyal friend in the world. Xena: I remember none of these things. Beowulf: You may not remember them, but they are inside you.
	Season 6 / Episode 9: - Return of the Valkyrie (3) Wiglaf: That's what Vikings do! Fighting gives our lives meaning! Xena: Fighting gives your lives meaning. Do you have any idea how stupid that is? Beowulf: Yeah? Well, it didn't sound stupid when it came from you. Xena: From me? Beowulf: Long ago it was Xena who first taught Odin to embrace violence and bloodlust. Xena: Well, if that is true then I know I am not this Xena.
	Season 6 / Episode 9: - Return of the Valkyrie (3) Odin: Do you know who I am? Xena: She said your name is Odin, but I don't know you from your horse.
	Season 6 / Episode 9: - Return of the Valkyrie (3) Xena: [to the vision of Gabrielle] Are you a demon? Or my own mind made mad? Gabrielle: [as a vision] I am the truth of who you are. Our souls are united, Xena. Beowulf: Xena? Xena, are you all right? Xena: Yes. This Gabrielle truly loved Xena, didn't she? Beowulf: And will till the end of time. Gabrielle saved you from what you were, as you must now save her. Beowulf: I've heard the men talking. They say that Xena created this monster that awaits us. Beowulf: Grinhilda. Xena: It's true, then. Beowulf: I have waited a long time to return this to you. [He gives to Xena her chakram] Xena: What's it for? Beowulf: You'll know. When the time comes, you'll know.
	Season 6 / Episode 9: - Return of the Valkyrie (3) Gabrielle: I dreamed you'd come back for me. Xena: It was like I was in a dream, too. I forgot everything. But even though I didn't remember you, I felt your presence, and knew that I would never be complete unless those shadows were brought into the light. Beowulf! Brunnhilda: Xena... The ring. Gabrielle: The ring. Xena, don't put it on again.
	Season 6 / Episode 9: - Return of the Valkyrie (3) Xena: [to Monster Grinhilda] I forged this ring. Now I have to use it to undo the evil it has caused. Grinhilda, listen to me. You weren't always this way. It was my actions that turned you into this beast. Grinhilda, I put the evil into this ring. I can undo it, too, if only...! Grinhilda, you must listen to me. Grinhilda, look inside your heart. Find the woman you once were. Forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me.
	Season 6 / Episode 9: - Return of the Valkyrie (3) Xena: That's right. Beowulf, I'll always be indebted to you for bringing me back here. Beowulf: Hey, I needed the best. The legends didn't lie, Xena, you are the greatest warrior I've ever known.
	Season 6 / Episode 9: - Return of the Valkyrie (3) Xena: Thirty-five years ago... The shame of it makes if feel like it was yesterday. Gabrielle: Memories are powerful, Xena. I'm so thankful that yours brought you back to me. Xena: But there's one that's still troubling me.
	Season 6 / Episode 9: - Return of the Valkyrie (3) First Rhein Maiden: What magic has made Xena into such a noble creature, that she would give up the power of the Rheingold? Xena: [Looking at Gabrielle] It wasn't magic.
	Season 6 / Episode 7: - The Rheingold (1) Xena: [Written in a letter to Gabrielle] Whatever happens, know that my love for you is endless.
	Season 6 / Episode 4: - Who's Gurkhan? Eve: She doesn't have what it takes to kill in cold blood. Do you think I inherited that talent from you, Mother? Xena: You certainly had a gift. Eve: Yeah, I did.
	Season 6 / Episode 4: - Who's Gurkhan? Gabrielle: If you're trying to scare me, Eve... why were you in Mogador? Eve: I was selling slave girls. Gabrielle: Calm way your daughter talks about her past. Xena: She knows what I know: there's nothing you can do to change the past. You can only work to make the future better.
	Season 6 / Episode 4: - Who's Gurkhan? Eve: [about Gabrielle] She wants to kill Gurkhan. For you or me that might have been an interesting challenge once upon a time, but for her... Xena: It's a suicide mission.
