Quotes

Kora: I bet all three of you wanna be the horse's rear end.

Iolaus: Hey, Jase. Next time you're on fire, wrap Hercules around ya. He's a big ol' wet blanket.

Hercules: Why don't you try being responsible?

Jason: Why don't you lighten up? We're just trying to have a little fun while we're young.

Iolaus: Hey, I'm not gonna change when I get old. I'll still be having fun when I'm thirty.

Hercules: I wanna change. I wanna be the son my father wants. I wanna devour life! Like Zeus! Like there's a fire inside me!

Iolaus: Uh. You know, I'm... I'm gonna be a king someday.

Corinth Girl 2: Oh, yeah? Where?
Iolaus: Well, I'm just... waiting for the right kingdom to come along.

Corinth Girl 2: Let me know when you find it.

Hercules: Is it hot in here, or is just me? It's just me.

Hercules: Come to Corinth with me. Right now.

Kora: Let's not... and say we did.

Hercules: Whoo! Rrrow! I like 'em sassy!

Hercules: Whoa! Oh-ho-ho. I am hot, today! Hot!

Jason: It's just a drill, Hercules.
Iolaus: Yeah, we're supposed to be goin' half-speed.

Hercules: Oh, half-speed is so boring! This whole academy's boring! And you're boring! And you're boring! And you're all boring!

Hercules: Why did you flip Iolaus in the water? He coulda drowned!

Lilith: Now, that sounds like the old Hercules.
Jason: He was only pretending that he couldn't swim.
Iolaus: Pretending, nothing! I can't swim!

Jason: ...oh.

Hercules: I feel like I ate an ox.

Jason: You did.
Hercules: What?

Jason: I saw you. You ate the whole ox.

Trivia & References

Pop Culture References and Greekisms - Kora seems to be working an ancient "drive-thru", taking orders trough a window from customers in chariots or on horseback, and delivering their "To Go" orders in an easy-to-transport basket.

Aired Out Of Order - Hephaestus appears in this episode, although he won't be officially "introduced" to Hercules until 1.16 - Down and Out in Academy Hills.

Nod to HtLJ - Iolaus saying that he'll be a king someday when the right kingdom comes around is a reference to HtLJ "2.19 - King For A Day" when his lookalike cousin, Orestes, is drugged and Iolaus takes his place and is crowned King of Attica.
