Xena: Warrior Princess

Hello?

You got any food you could spare?

Food's scarce everywhere. No one has anything to spare.

Where are your parents?

The other side.

They were killed by Xena, the Warrior Princess.

She came down out of the sky in a chariot,

throwing thunderbolts and breathing fire.

OK. We can do this one of two ways:

You can let us have the girls and go back to

thoses hovels you call home, or

we can hack you all into little pieces, and take the girls anyway!

Gabrielle!

Take me! Let the others go!

Nice try!

But we'll take you, and anybody else we want!

It's never too early to start training a slave girl.

I got to admit, this village makes tough women.

OK, OK, now we taket he gloves off, start hacking.

You round up the girls.

Yes, sir! You heard him, round up the girls! All right,

We'll take care of this one.

Come on!

She's down! Yeah! We got her now!

Yeah! You're not tough, after all!

Now! Come on! Now's our chance!

That's more like it! Now we've got 'em!

You're with Draco.

Tell him Xena says, 'Hello.'

That thing you did with the hoop, that was amazing.

Where did you get that? Did you make it yourself?

And that kick you do. You've got to teach me Xena.

We'd like you move on.

Move on? Father, she should rest here until her wound is healed.

Daughter, hush. We don't want any trouble with you, Xena.

We know your reputation. We just want you to leave.

But, Father, she saved...

It's all right. I plan to move on, anyway.

Don't take too long.

Let's go, Gabrielle.

Hey, just because we're betrothed, doesn't mean you can boss me around.

I want to stay and talk to Xena.

You've got to take me with you

and teach me everything you know. You can't leave me here.

Why?

Did you see the guy they want me to marry?

He looks like a gentle soul, that's rare in a man.

It's not the gentle part I have a problem with.

It's the dull, stupid part. Xena, I'm not cut out for this village life.

I was born to do so much more.

I travel alone.

So, where are you headed now?

Amphipolis.

That's in Thrace, isn't it? I love to study maps and place names.

So, what route do you usually take?

Don't even think about it.

What?

Following me.

You don't want to make me mad now, do you?

All right... now all four of you.

He caught three of them.

Who has the green arrows?

Green... not me. Thank the Gods.

Ares has smiled on you. Sign him up, and get the others out of my sight.

Yes, Draco.

Hector how's the throat?

Next time I see her, I'll kill her.

Pray to the Gods you never have to deliver on that boast.

Night watch! All clear!

Hello, Draco.

Xena, you look good.

So do you.

Except for that ugly scar.

It's nice of you to give me something to remember you by.

You picked the wrong woman to get rough with.

It never would have happened if you'd been more cooperative.

What are you doing here? If you wanted to kill me

You'd be dead.

I want to ask a favor.

What do you want?

Your men were at a village today.

I heard they got a large dose of the Warrior Princess.

I want you to spare that village.

You care about those peasants?

I could have mercy on that village

if?

If what?

You join with me. We'd make an invincible team.

I can't do it, Draco.

What does that mean?

I'm going home.

I dreamt of being with you in love, or against you in battle.

You won't give me the satisfaction of either will you,

will you?

I'll spare that village for old times' sake.

Thank you.

What do you hope to find back in Amphipolis?

Forgiveness?

I tried to go home once.

My father almost beat me to death with blacksmith's hammer.

You'll get the same treatment, I guarantee it.

Goodbye.

What's in the bag?

Lila, I'm going to join up with Xena.

Are you serious?

Absolutely. I'm going to be a warrior, like her.

A warrior. Garielle, I can beat you up.

Yeah, well you're very strong for your age.

Lila, you know I'm different from everybody else in this town.

I know you're crazy.

Well, call it whatever you like. The point is I don't fit in here.

And the idea of marrying Perdicus.

He loves you, you know.

But I don't love him.

I've got to do this, Lila.

I'm gonna miss you so much.

Cheer up. You'll finally have a room of your own.

Take care of Mother.

Don't let her carry the water from the well by herself.

All right.

Come on boy, we can make it.

That's it easy.

There easy enough?

What's the problem?

Smell trouble?

It's you!

You lost some weight since I saw you last.

I guess that job

I did on your eye must have cut down on the people-eating, huh?!

Ever since you blinded me, a day hasn't gone by when

I haven't dreamt of tasting your flesh.

You know, you should find a different line of work.

Like what?! I'm a blind Cyclops, for crying out loud!

You could hire yourself out to a village as a protector.

Even a blind Cyclops would scare most folks off.

And the villagers would probably toss you

a sheep every now and again for payment.

Sheep?

How could you start eating mutton, I when you're used to human flesh?

Suit yourself.

Xena was spotted riding toward the Strymon Pass.

Hector, take two men and cut through the Pass.

Pick up her trail and send word

as soon as she's entered her home valley.

We'll march right into Amphipolis and torch everything in sight.

And spread the word that we're doing it on Xena's orders.

Then she'll know.

Know what?

There's no rest for the wicked.

The bridge will hold me up. The bridge will hold me up.

The bridge will hold me up.

The bridge...

Being an adventuress isn't that hard.

Gotcha!

Immortal father Zeus in Heaven, curse this brute if he eats me!

Torture him with the slain serpent's blood and the crow's droppings!

Shut up! I hate chatty food.

I know Xena, the Warrior Princess.

I hate Xena, the Warrior Princess. She blinded me.

It'll give me great pleasure to rip one of her friends apart with my teeth.

Friends? Who said anything about friends?

I've been tracking her to kill her.

How is a young thing like you gonna kill Xena?

That's the point. She'd never let a man get close enough to do her.

At least, not that kind of 'do her.' But, a young, innocent-looking girl

like me I'll catch her totally off guard,

cut her evil throat, and hack off her Cyclops-blinding hands.

You're really gonna mess her up, huh?

You know what I think I'll do to her?

What?

Blind her gouge out them eyeballs and bring 'em back to you.

It'll make a nice little appetizer, don't you think?

Ooh, you'd do that for me?

I feel we're bonded in our hate for this she-demon.

Go on, and, if you bring me a leg, too, I'd appreciate it.

A leg, She's got two, doesn't she? You'll get them both.

And maybe a, a...

Hey! Let's not get greedy.

Oh, sorry.

Xena's blood or die!

Thank the Gods for dumb Cyclopses.

What do you think?

I think you got a sore throat.

I've just blocked off the

flow of blood to your brain.

You'll be dead in twenty seconds

unless I release you. Now, why are you following me?

Ten seconds.

Draco, he sent me.

Draco.

He plans to destroy your home valley.

You'll regain feeling in a few minutes.

Hey, hey! Are you dead?

Where are you headed?

Amphipolis.

Oh, it worked! I have been lying here supplicating myself

to the great God, Hermes, the God of travellers begging him to send someone

who's on the way to Amphipolis. Hah! And here you are

it's a miracle, don't you think?

Not really. This is the road to Amphipolis.
