Xena: "It gets lonely at the top."
Borias: "You push your luck, Xena."
Xena: "Always."

 

 

Xena: "I've shut off the flow of blood to your brain. You got ten, nine, eight...ah, forget it."
Borias: "I would have taken the gold."

Xena: "You know, Borias, I have a dream, a dream of conquering every land between here and Britannia."
Borias: "Xena, you're always looking for green pastures to rape and pillage."
Xena: "Yep, and maybe there's more in this than just the ransom, huh? I mean, with her father as an ally, I could get a nice toehold on that island."
Borias: "What makes you so sure she'll lead you to Daddy?"
Xena: "Ah, she wouldn't lie to me. She worships her teacher ... {Borias laughing} "What's so funny?"
Borias: "Xena, you couldn't teach a dog to bark."
