Xena: Give me that hat.
Rafe: (in a sing-song voice) What do you say?
Xena: Or else.

Xena: Give up on me, Ares. You´re not my father.
Ares: What is a father, Xena? A man who guides you, who teaches you how to live your life. I did all for you. And I´ll never let you go.

Xena: Have I made myself clear?
Gabrielle: No. You're a little fuzzy around the edges so you keep trying, you'll get there.

Xena: He got in the way. It's war Gabrielle.
Gabrielle: I can't bear to think of all the innocents who suffer because of this madness. Someone has to stop it. Come on, Xena. Not even you can stop an entire war. All right, look, I did not mean that as a challenge.
Xena: Stay here with Ephiny.
Gabrielle: What are you going to do?
Xena: I'm gonna find a safe place for Ephiny to have her baby...and then I'm gonna stop this war.
Gabrielle : I've got to learn to keep my mouth shut.

Xena: He looks like a gentle soul, that's rare in a man.
Gabrielle: It's not the gentle part I have a problem with, it's the dull, stupid part.

Xena: Hey, it's all right.
Hermia: Thank you - Xena?
Xena: Hermia?
Hermia: The Gods, it must be 10 years since I saw you last!
Xena:Come over here. What are you doing here? Where's your family?
Hermia: Persix and Eteocles inhabit the other side, thanks to that murdering tyrant, Xeres. And now he's thrown Flora in his dungeon!
Xena: Flora? Little Flora? She's in prison?
Hermia: She's not little anymore. She's all grown up and madly in love with one of the Black Wolves.

Xena: How long would you be gone?
Gabrielle: Oh, maybe four or five years, so... Maybe a little less if I studied real hard. You'd hardly notice I was missing.
Xena: Even if I had an army around me, I'd still notice you were missing.

Xena: I am pregnant, not brain damaged.

Xena: I can tell you that you were the closest thing I ever had to a sister. That was important to me.

Xena: I could sing for you.

Xena: I don't ask for much. I just want my pony back. Where's Gabrielle?
Joxer: Nature called.
Gabrielle: No, it screamed like a wild banshee.

Xena: I gotta ask you this, Mom. You killed once before to protect me. Is history repeating itself?
Cyrene: That was different. I was protecting a child.
Xena: Well, you know what they say, no matter what your age, you're always a child to your mother.

Xena: I hate the dead ... you can't take vengeance on them.
Alti: Ah, but you can.

Xena: I need a volunteer ... I pick you.
Villager: Huh?
Xena: Yeah, don't be shy. Your mother wasn't

Xena: I want Cortese as much as you do. But murder is not the answer. I learned the hard way about justice �
Toris: Learned the hard way? Are you bragging? What I saw of you when I left our village was not something to be proud of.
Xena: And what did you see? Someone had to step forward. Cortese would have slaughtered us all if we hadn't fought.
Toris: If our people had followed me to the hills �
Xena: Cortese would have hunted us down like dogs. I had to make a stand, and I wasn't the only one show believed that.
Toris: That's right. Our brother believed it. Lyceus stood by you to the end. And it was his end, remember?
Xena: I said fight because it was our village. Lyceus believed in that, and I would say it again.
