Quotes 

• Gabrielle : Perdicus!

  Perdicus : I just had to see something.

  Gabrielle : What?

  Perdicus : Your face. I haven't stopped thinking about you since the last time I saw you. Gabrielle - we've always been close. You were my closest friend. And, well - Gabrielle, will you be my wife?

• Xena : Gabrielle, when we find her, don't go up against her one on one. You'll be dead in seconds.

  Gabrielle : If she dies with me - that'll be fine.

  Xena : Not with me it won't. Besides, she'd chop you into little pieces before you even struck a first blow.

  Gabrielle : That's because you never taught me how to use a sword. Now, that's going to change - right now. I want a lesson.

  Xena : No.

  Gabrielle : Why?

  Xena : Because I won't help you destroy all the ideals that you live by.

  Gabrielle : My ideals were a lie. I thought love was the strongest power on Earth. What a fool. Love is helpless in the face of cruelty.

  Xena : Gabrielle, if you're taken over by hatred - Callisto wins.

  Gabrielle : I've got news for you, Xena. She's already won. Now, show me how to use a sword.

  Xena : Not a chance.

  Gabrielle : Xena! Teach me.

  Xena : No.

  Gabrielle : Teach me. Teach me! Teach me!

  Xena : I won't do it.

  Gabrielle : Xena, wake up and look around you! The little innocent Gabrielle is dead, and there's no getting her back. Just teach me how to use a sword, so, at least I stand a fighting chance. Please.

  Xena : All right, pick it up. First thing, is that your sword - is not a staff. You have to learn how to parry so you can look for an opening. And keep eye contact. That's how you anticipate the next move.

  Gabrielle : Okay. Again. Again. Again! I'm gonna kill her. Again! Teach me. Teach me! Teach me. Again. Again! Teach me how to kill her, Xena. I'm gonna cut her open and watch her bleed. I'm gonna kill her, Xena! Teach me how to kill her.

• Xena : [after Gabrielle and Perdicus get married]  I'm so happy for you.

  Gabrielle : I'm gonna miss you, so much.

  Xena : Hey, it's not like we'll never see one another again. I'll visit you all the time.

  Gabrielle : You promise?

  Xena : I'll be knocking on your door so often, you'll be sick of me.
