Quotes 

• 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!

  [Xena raises her head] 

  Gabrielle : All right! Well look, I did not mean that as a challenge...

  Xena : Stay here with Ephiny.

  Gabrielle : What are- what are you going to do?

  Xena : I'm gonna find a safe place for Ephiny to have her baby.

  [pause] 

  Xena : And then I'm gonna stop this war.

  [Xena walks away] 

  Gabrielle : [whispers loudly]  I've got to learn to keep my mouth shut!

• Xena : Gabrielle, come on. You're going to be fine!

  [Gabrielle starts convulsing. Her body is jerking uncontrollably] 

  Marmax : What's happening?

  Xena : I don't know! Gabrielle!

  Hippocrates : [Gabrielle suddenly stops and lies still] 

  [pause] 

  Hippocrates : She's dead.

  Xena : No, she is not dead. I wouldn't let her.

  [Xena starts stroking Gabrielle to wake her up] 

  Xena : Come on, Gabrielle, wake up. Come on, wake up. Come on, wake up. You're scaring me, wake up!

  [Xena grabs Gabrielle and cradles her lifeless body] 

  Xena : Gabrielle, breathe. Wake up and breathe!

• Xena : [as she treats the wounded Gabrielle]  Keep that soldier awake. If he falls asleep, he may never wake up.

  Galen : She should have hit him an inch lower. She could have killed the monster.

  Xena : She knew that, that's why he's still alive.

  Marmax : Are you telling me that she'd rather die than take the life of a man she doesn't even know?

  Marmax : Gabrielle lives by her own code. That code doesn't include killing.

• Marmax : [Over Gabrielle dying]  Xena.

  [pause] 

  Marmax : Xena! It's time to stop now. Let her cross over peacefully...

  Xena : What do you know? You've killed so many!

  Marmax : So have you.

• Xena : [as she moves over to Gabrielle's unconscious body]  Gabrielle, you know, if I could do it all over again, I'd take the southern route.

  [sadly] 

  Xena : I'm so sorry!

  Marmax : She may well pull through...

  Xena : You were right, I shouldn't have brought her here...

  Marmax : I guess we all make mistakes...

  Xena : My pride may have killed my best friend.

• Hippocrates : We'd like to observe your work.

  Xena : These people need care, not another pair of eyes gawking at them. You got a lot of customers. Get to work. It's too late for him, but there are others that can be saved.

  [pause] 

  Xena : You need to separate out the ones that can be saved from the ones that can't.

  Hippocrates : How can we be sure?

  Xena : You need to choose.
