• Gabrielle : Xena, let's just run for it. I - I'm feeling much better.

  Xena : Oh, we don't have to run for it. I'm gonna slap these bitches silly. We're leaving this forest. You got a problem with that?

• Gabrielle : I had that - that dream again.

  Xena : Yeah, I know. Part of the same thing, Gabrielle. Your body and your dreams are just reacting to your first kill.

  Gabrielle : I'll never forgive myself.

  Xena : It was instinct.

  Gabrielle : No, you're wrong. Uh - I made the decision to kill her. I went against everything that I stand for.

  Xena : I know it's hard. I remember my first kill. But, you are going to get through this thing. You're gonna wake up one day and have hope again. You'll see, there's so much good to be done.

  Gabrielle : Maybe. I just feel like I should be punished for what I've done.

  Xena : You *are* being punished by your conscience. For someone like you, there couldn't be a worse torture.

• Xena : I'm coming. Gabrielle - Gabrielle, where is it?

  Gabrielle : She turned on me.

  Xena : Wha?

  Gabrielle : She tried to choke me. It's - beautiful expression of sweetness just turned into this, this hateful snarl and - and it was like looking into evil itself. I threw her - down there.

  Xena : Gabrielle, I know this is terrible but - you did the right thing.

  Gabrielle : What? What is it? You don't believe me? Do you think I'm lying?

• Gabrielle : I threw her off the cliff! Xena, when I knew what she was, I wanted her dead! Just as much as you! Xena, this is madness.
