Xena: Warrior Princess (TV Series)

Beware Greeks Bearing Gifts (1996)

Cameron Rhodes: Deiphobus

Quotes 

• Deiphobus : With you at my side, we'll build a new city; give birth to a new race of Trojans.

• Deiphobus : I don't trust her. She's Greek-- an outsider.

  Xena : I never lifted a sword for Greece.

  Deiphobus : It makes no difference.

• 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.

• Paris : Xena. What are you doing?

  Xena : I saw this coward kill a loyal Trojan outside the city. That cut on his face was made by my sword.

  [a fight breaks out and one of the men kills the guard] 

  Xena : He's dead.

  Deiphobus : Good-- This man was obviously a traitor.

  Paris : He was a member of your personal guard, Deiphobus.

  Deiphobus : I know-- and I assure you, there'll be a thorough investigation of all my men.

  Xena : Good idea-- traitors rarely act alone. It's a shame this one won't be talking.

  Deiphobus : He was but a few paces from you and Helen. I-- I had no choice but to kill him.

  Paris : What's done is done. Xena, you've proven yourself an ally of Troy. You're welcome to stay as our guest. Treat her accordingly.

• 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.

• Deiphobus : Good morning! Too bad you're missing all the fun, Xena. There's been quite a celebration.

  Xena : Don't even bother, Deiphobus. You might fool the others.

  Deiphobus : [laughs]  I have no idea what you're talking about.

  Xena : We both know that horse is a trick. But what I can't figure out, is what a scum-sucking opportunist like you would want Helen back with Menelaus for?
