- Joxer: Xena, you know how I feel about Gabrielle?
- Xena: Sure, you love her.
- Joxer: Right. Um, and um, I was kinda hoping that since you guys are such good friends and all, maybe you could give me some tips.
- Xena: Tips?
- Joxer: Yeah, you know, recommendations on how I can tell her. I was thinking maybe I could try the down on my knee approach. Or maybe flowers and gifts. Or I could just club her over the head! Do you see my problem?
- Xena: Yeah, your expectations.
- Joxer: Huh?
- Xena: See, right now it's all about getting a response from her. If you love her, why don't you just tell her? Don't attach any strings to it. Make it unconditional.
- Joxer: Yeah, but what about if I tell her that and she says, "Joxer, what are you thinking?"
- Xena: Joxer, no strings, all right?
- Joxer: No strings. Got it.
- Xena: Course, you could just kiss the girl.
