A few of my favs are: A Day In the Life when Xena useses Gab's scroll as toilet paper and Gab says " You used my scroll"! And in Fins, Femmes, Gems when Gab says "She wants me to fist a fish". And in Sickness and In hell when Xena calls Gab "Scabriella". WXF This message has been edited. Last edited by: WXF,

There are so many quotes that I love, it is hard to pick my favorite. Here is one of them at least. It is from the season 5 episod, "Seeds of Faith":
Ares: I wish I'd known you were looking for a father. Xena: I'm not. Ares: *looking her over* Well, obviously someone got the job. Xena: That'd be Gabrielle. Ares: ...I would've paid to see that.
And in Sickness and In hell when Xena calls Gab "Scabriella". WXF [/QUOTE]
What exactly does that mean by th way? "Scabrielle"? I mean,what is Xena referring to? What word got mixed up with "Gabrielle"?

Scab = Gab
Coz she is covered in scabs.
But not eaten by scabs.

Ahaaaa! Now I get it! Haha,good one!
Besides I love the whole "I don't have lice!" thing. I think it's hilarious! Espaecially those ones:
>I don't want you near the food, a lice infested rabbit is not on my diet. Xena: I don't have lice. It's dandruff, it's a minor scalp irritation, that's all.<
> Joxer- I just thought you liked being filthy, made you look tough or something. Xena: I'm not filthy. Hey, I'm not the one who has the lice. Xena: I don't have lice! <
>Give it a rest Gabrielle. Gabrielle: Not until you clean up your act Xena. Hey, I'm not the one with the fungus among us. Gabrielle: Oh, that's poetic. Did one of your bug friends whisper that in your ear?<
And the one when Xena's acting crazy in the Furies. >Don't be redicilous Melvis!< That Melvi-thing always gets me!!
But I think that there are soooo many totally funny moments in the show,that it's hard to choose a favourite one.

Actually, I think the name she says is Mavis.
But yes, Lucy Lawless does comedy well.

off the top of my head...okay fine, I had to look up the quotes. I haven't watched a Xena episode in a really long time...
From A Day In the Life- Minya: The whip is mine, frying pan's yours. Hower is mine, she's yours.
From Warrior...Princess...Tramp (this was has everything to do with voice and delivery)- Leah: Oh Hestia. If denying the flesh is the path to true rightousness, then what lesson can I learn from these wanton strumpets?

Another of my favourites lines is from second seasons Miss Amphipolis
Xena: “Beauty contest? You sent urgent word for us to come and see some underdressed, over-developed bimbos in a beauty contest?”
Salmoneous: “Pageant-- it’s called a pageant.”
Gabrielle: “Contest, pageant. It’s a feeble excuse for men to exploit and degrade women.”
Salmoneous: “Wrong as usual, Miss Sunshine. Since when do we ever need an excuse?”
BTDT Xena - "No, no, yes, no. I tried that. Yes, both ways. No, I don't know. No, again. Are there any more questions? Good."
Warrior...Princess Diana - "This? It’s my round killing thing.” Gabrielle - “Chakram.” Diana - “Bless you. I use it to fight evil.”
WARRIOR...PRIESTESS...TRAMP Gabrielle to Leah - "Believe me. If I have to go the rest of my life without companionship, knowing myself wouldn't be a problem.

From Royal Couple of Thieves
Of course the trick to killing somebody with an apricot --is really in the wrist. The drawback is that it kills instantly so there's no time to gather information. So for situations like that, well--I use a muffin.

Another favourite Quote is from Second Seasons Warrior...Princess...Tramp
When Diana and Meg are both pretending to be Xena to get the baby back.....
Diana pretending to be Xena: “Hold it right there! I’m coming to get that baby. And anyone who tries to stop me is going to eat my sword. Oh! But wait! I still have my round killing thing.”
Meg pretending to be Xena: “Hold it, right there! In the blink of an eye I can split the skull of anyone who moves with my trusty... shamrock!”
Discord: Well if it isn't the ever titilating Aphrodite. I almost didn't recognise you with your legs so close together.
Just doing my bit to run the thread into the ground

I can't believe no one has mentioned this quote yet from "A Day in the Life"
"Can we cook with your juices?!"

LOL Their all awesome quotes, some very talented writers there
Another Favs this time from Lost Mariner...
Gabrielle: "No! You don’t understand the danger. This is a boat-- on water. Water, boat, my stomach-- We don’t mix very well. So, unless you want a quick and colorful deck-washing, I suggest you put me on a boat for shore!"
My alltime fave was just used...dammit...I'm too late...not surprised...
The one where Gabrielle tells Leah knowing herself wouldn't be a problem.
Your Hidden Talent
You have the natural talent of rocking the boat, thwarting the system. And while this may not seem big, it can be. It's people like you who serve as the catalysts to major cultural changes. You're just a bit behind the scenes, so no one really notices.
From the Comedy of Eros... When Xena falls for draco, draco for gabrielle, gabrielle for joxer....
Xena knocks Draco out...
Xena:"I’m sorry, Sweetie, that hurt me a lot more than it hurt you. ‘Sweetie’? Did I say, ‘Sweetie’? I’ve never used that word in my life before. But, he’s so cute. Joxer! you know what to do. Hurry, there’s no time to lose!”
Gabrielle:Getting sand up the wazoo makes me kind of edgy. Xena:I hate it when that happens.
"Even when you're down and blue, just remember that someone out there loves you, even if you don't know it and even if you haven't yet met them. There's someone out there waiting for you, remember that and keep faith. You'll get there." ~~Johnny Depp.
