Quotes 

• Paris : I don't know how all this happened. I just wanted to love you.

  Helen : No-- You wanted to own me. If we survive-- I'm not gonna stay with you. I want my own life.

  Paris : Deiphobus. The Greeks deceived you.

  Deiphobus : It wasn't me who was deceived. There's only one man worthy of Helen

  [he stabs Paris] 

  Deiphobus : -- me.

  Helen : [screams]  No! Why?

  Deiphobus : Because now, you're mine.

• Helen : What do you want from me?"

  Deiphobus : What does every man want from Helen of Troy?

  Helen : Don't you realize what you've done? You've killed your own brother! And ruined Troy! And for what? A woman who will only despise you!

  Deiphobus : No matter. With you at my side, we'll build a new city; give birth to a new race of Trojans. With my strength and your beauty, our children will rule the world.

• Xena : What do you think you're doing?

  Helen : The only thing I can. I'm going to Menelaus, with or without your help.

  Xena : That's not the answer.

  Helen : Then, what is? Every day another soldier dies for my happiness. I can't live with it anymore!

  Xena : Then don't. The war stopped being about your happiness a long time ago, Helen. We both know Paris doesn't love you. And Menelaus barely knows you. The war will go on without you, Helen. Let it.

• Helen : Xena-- I was worried you wouldn't come.

  Xena : Well, we've had our differences in the past, but, you're still a friend.

  Helen : Thank you. Where's Maltiades?

  Xena : Dead-- I fought off his attackers, but not in time to save his life. I'm sorry. I know you wouldn't have sent him into danger without a good reason.

  Helen : You're right. I see terrible things in my dreams, Xena. I want you to take me to Menelaus.

  Xena : Why would you want to go back to the man you were forced to marry?

  Helen : It's the only way the Greeks will withdraw and the fighting will stop.

  Xena : You're wrong. Paris and his army will carve a bloody path to the sea chasing after you . You're better off staying in Troy. At least Paris loves you.

  Helen : Wait! Xena, please. After ten years of war-- Troy has become a city of-- misery and death. Paris may have loved me once-- but, now he is consumed with victory. We're barely more than strangers. I just want the war to end.
