Quotes 

• Xena : What's the matter with your men? They look like they've seen a ghost.

  Wiglaf : No, not a ghost: a legend. All these men can talk of is a chance to see you in action. To tell you the truth, I'm...

  Beowulf : ...about to go and polish your blade. Is that right, Wiglaf?

  Wiglaf : Fine, send me away.

• Xena : I could have done so much good for the Viking people.

  Beowulf : The Xena I remember could do more good with this sword than a hundred Viking queens could ever do. And the Xena I remember could never forget what happened in that swamp, the face of Gabrielle, the most loyal friend in the world.

  Xena : I remember none of these things.

  Beowulf : You may not remember them, but they are inside you.

• Wiglaf : That's what Vikings do! Fighting gives our lives meaning!

  Xena : Fighting gives your lives meaning. Do you have any idea how stupid that is?

  Beowulf : Yeah? Well, it didn't sound stupid when it came from you.

  Xena : From me?

  Beowulf : Long ago it was Xena who first taught Odin to embrace violence and bloodlust.

  Xena : Well, if that is true then I know I am not this Xena.

• Odin : Do you know who I am?

  Xena : She said your name is Odin, but I don't know you from your horse.

• Xena : [to the vision of Gabrielle]  Are you a demon? Or my own mind made mad?

  Gabrielle : [as a vision]  I am the truth of who you are. Our souls are united, Xena.

  Beowulf : Xena? Xena, are you all right?

  Xena : Yes. This Gabrielle truly loved Xena, didn't she?

  Beowulf : And will till the end of time. Gabrielle saved you from what you were, as you must now save her.

  Beowulf : I've heard the men talking. They say that Xena created this monster that awaits us.

  Beowulf : Grinhilda.

  Xena : It's true, then.

  Beowulf : I have waited a long time to return this to you.

  [He gives to Xena her chakram] 

  Xena : What's it for?

  Beowulf : You'll know. When the time comes, you'll know.

• Gabrielle : I dreamed you'd come back for me.

  Xena : It was like I was in a dream, too. I forgot everything. But even though I didn't remember you, I felt your presence, and knew that I would never be complete unless those shadows were brought into the light. Beowulf!

  Brunnhilda : Xena... The ring.

  Gabrielle : The ring. Xena, don't put it on again.

• Xena : [to Monster Grinhilda]  I forged this ring. Now I have to use it to undo the evil it has caused. Grinhilda, listen to me. You weren't always this way. It was my actions that turned you into this beast. Grinhilda, I put the evil into this ring. I can undo it, too, if only...! Grinhilda, you must listen to me. Grinhilda, look inside your heart. Find the woman you once were. Forgive me. Forgive me. Forgive me.

• Xena : That's right. Beowulf, I'll always be indebted to you for bringing me back here.

  Beowulf : Hey, I needed the best. The legends didn't lie, Xena, you are the greatest warrior I've ever known.

• Xena : Thirty-five years ago... The shame of it makes if feel like it was yesterday.

  Gabrielle : Memories are powerful, Xena. I'm so thankful that yours brought you back to me.

  Xena : But there's one that's still troubling me.

• First Rhein Maiden : What magic has made Xena into such a noble creature, that she would give up the power of the Rheingold?

  Xena : [Looking at Gabrielle]  It wasn't magic.
