Xena: Warrior Princess, Season 1

Xena:
I want Cortese as much as you do. But murder is not the answer. I learned the hard way about justice -

Toris:
Learned the hard way? Are you bragging? What I saw of you when I left our village was not something to be proud of.

Xena:
And what did you see? Someone had to step forward. Cortese would have slaughtered us all if we hadn't fought.

Toris:
If our people had followed me to the hills -

Xena:
Cortese would have hunted us down like dogs. I had to make a stand, and I wasn't the only one who believed that.

Toris:
That's right. Our brother believed it. Lyceus stood by you to the end. And it was his end, remember?

Xena:
I said fight because it was our village. Lyceus believed in that, and I would say it again.
