Ja:  “Stick your arm in his mouth.  See if he likes meat.”

Ja:  “Oh.”
 
H:  “Oh.”
 
I:  “I gotta call you something.  How about-- how about Ruff? OK, so, uh-- hi, Ruff.  [Chuckles]  Uh-- my name’s Iolaus.  Do you, uh-- do you wanna be my friend?”
 
Ja:  “Motherhood is such a-- beautiful thing.”
 
H:  “Oh, it brings tears to your eyes, doesn’t it?”
 
I:  “No harm done.  I’ll just, uh-- just, uh-- clean it up.  Oh! No!  Hey!  Where’s he going?!”

Strife:  “How long does it take-- for a-- _basilisk_ to-- hatch, or-- [Chuckling] whatever?”  [Screams]
 
Dis-in-disguise:  “Not long, apparently.”
 
Strife:  “That basilisk sure is a squirmy little thing, isn’t it?”
 
Dis-in-disguese:  “Hercules is coming.”
 
I:  “Ruff!  He musta gone this way.”

H:  “Don’t you throw that spear!”
 
Ja:  “I’m Prince Jason of Corinth, and that creature belongs to me.”
 
Bearded Man:  “Yeah?!  Well, we’re not _from_ Corinth-- and the food that thing’s eatin’ belongs to us.”
 
Ja:  “Aw-- well, you’re probably not hungry now, anyway.  Nice kick.”

Dis:  “Mmmmm.”
 
Strife:  “Um-- is that the sound of a crowd fleeing in terror as Corinth is destroyed?  Ha-ha-ha-ha.  Uh-- no!  [Buzzing Sound] It’s the sound of the crowd cheering for _Hercules_ and his pals and their little pet!  Nah!  Uncle Ares is gonna be _so-o-o-o_ impressed.  He-he-he-- he’s just gonna go all-- warm and fuzzy, inside.  Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-- ”
 
Dis [Interrupting]:  “Oh-- go soak your head!”
 
Strife [Interrupting]:  [Scream]
 
Dis:  “I try so hard to teach him to be patient.  The basilisk is still a baby!  It takes time for his venom to take effect!”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
 
Dis:  “The fun’s started.”  [They laugh]
 
Strife:  “Like it.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
 
[ACT II]
 
I’s Voice:  “Hey, uh, now that the fire’s out, you guys wanna see what I taught Ruff?  Huh?”
 
I:  “OK, Ruff-- ready?  Wanna fetch?  Yeah?  Hoo!  Ah.  Go! Awww.  Thank you.”
 
Aide:  “The captain of the guard-- reports that no one was seen setting the fires.”
 
H:  “Some people can only be seen when they wanna be seen-- you know what I mean?”
 
I:  “Fetch!  Ooh!”
 
Ja:  “Maybe it was one of the gods.”
 
Aide:  “The people are worried, Prince Jason.  I suggest you make a speech, encouraging them.  Now-- this is a standardm reassuring speech, suitable for any calamity.”
 
I:  “Oh.  Oh.  Ruff?”
 
Aide:  “Perhaps you could devote more attention to your duties if you put that _thing_ outside!”
 
I:  “Hey!  His name is Ruff, and he’s not a thing!  He’s a-- he-- he’s a-- ”
 
Aide:  “-- pain-- in the neck!  Oh!  Oh!  No!  Oh!  Yuck!”
 
I [Interrupting]:  “Oh, Ruff-- no.  Hey, now, calm down, calm down.  It’s OK.  He only does that when he feels threatened. I’ll get it _cleaned_ for you.”
 
Ja:  “Hey, well, listen, you’re gonna have to send it out-- ‘cause the palace laundry burned in the fires.”
 
I:  “Well, I’m takin’ Ruff with me.  “Let’s roll.”
 
H:  “Jason-- you know that towel that Iolaus used to wipe off that goop that Ruff spit on him?”
 
I:  “Come on, buddy.”
 
H:  “That was in the laundry that caught on fire, wasn’t it?”
 
Ja:  “Yeah, I think so.”
 
H:  “And that inn that burnt down, was that the one we had to rescue Ruff from?”
 
Ja:  “Yeah, and there was a fire-- near the well that Ruff fell into.”
 
H [Sighs]:  “Listen-- when I was a kid, my mom used to tell me this story about a monster, called a basilisk.  OK?  It’s venom-- could turn a man to ashes.”
 
Ja:  “Yeah, I heard that too, but’s that’s just a legend. Nobody’s ever actually seen a basilisk.”
 
H:  “Oh, yeah?  I think maybe we just have.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
 
I:  “OK, now I want you two guys to-- ah-- shake hands, OK? Shake hands?  Hey.”
 
Older Boy:  “My dog can do that.”
 
Older Boy’s Voice:  “I bet he’s not any smarter than a dog-- is he?”
 
I:  “I don’t know.  I haven’t asked him.”
 
Older Boy:  “My father gave me a dog.”
 
I’s Voice:  “Yeah, well, my father gave me a dog, too.”
 
I:  “Well-- he didn’t, but he-- he-- said he was going to.”
 
I’s Voice:  “I guess he just forgot-- huh.”
 
Man:  “What kind ’a stain’s that?  Oh!”
 
Woman’s:  “Oh!”
 
Man:  “Oh!  Oh-- ah-ah-ahh!  Whoa!  Whoa!  Whoa-whoa!  Whoa!”
 
H:  “That venom only hit that cloak, like a couple minutes ago. Looks like it gets stronger as it gets bigger, or something.”
 
I:  “What are you talkin’ about?  What venom?”
 
H:  “We think that Ruff is a basilisk.”
 
I:  “A basilisk.”
 
H:  “Yes.”
 
I:  “Come on, they don’t exist.  Ruff’s real.  He’s a-- he’s a-- where’d he go?”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Merchant Woman:  “Get away from my fruit!”  [Screams]
 
H:  “Excuse me-- Miss?  There you go.”

I:  “Ruff!  Ruff!  Where are you?”
 
Strife:  “Hey-- don’t be afraid, little basilisk.  We’re all friends, here.  Ha-ha.”
 
Dis:  “Boo!”
 
H:  “Over here!  Help me with this table!”
 
Man’s Voice:  “Water!”
 
I:  “Oh, there he is.  OK, Ruff, it’s OK, buddy.  No, no, no, no, don’t leave!  Come here!  Uh-- hey, little buddy.  It’s OK.  It’s OK.  It’s-- oh!  Oh!  Ah-- thanks.”
 
Ja:  “My pleasure.”
 
H:  “More water!”
 
Strife:  “Why is everybody always in such a hurry?!”
 
H:  “Strife-- I should ’a known you were behind all this!”
 
Strife:  “And, Discord’s behind me.  Anybody behind you?”
 
H:  “Well, you won’t be laughin’ when I get through with you.”
 
Strife:  “Aah-- n-no-no time for that.  You’ve got bigger fish to fry.”
 
Dis:  “And I think I smell them frying right now.”
 
Strife:  “Woooh!”  [Strife and Dis laugh.]
 
Strife:  “Bang!”
 
I:  “Oh, he’s doing it again.  Oh!  OK, uh-- you don’t-- you don’t have to be afraid!  A-ha.  Maybe, I do.”
 
Ja:  “Ah.  Uh!”
 
H:  “Hold on.  I got a plan.  Here we go.  Charge!”  [Ja, H, and I yell]
 
H:  “Halt!  OK.  Here it is.  Here it is.  Ruff?  Ruff?  Ruff, buddy, this [?] looks good, huh?  It looks good.  OK, Ruff-- ”
 
I:  “Don’t hurt him!”
 
H’s Voice:  “It’s OK.”
 
Ja:  “Get him!  Well-- get him lightly!”
 
Strife:  “Whoa-- nice catch, Hercules.”
 
Strife’s Voice:  “The whole town’s a barbecue, and I forget to bring my marshmallows!  Guess you weenies’ll have to do!  Ha-ha!”
 
All:  [Laugh]
 
H:  “All right, Barney [?].”
 
Strife:  “Let’s not tell, uh-- Uncle Ares about this, huh? Whaddya say?”
 
Dis:  “Ahhhhhh!”
 
Ja:  “Man, it must really burn Strife to lose to you.”
 
H:  “I know.  I’n’t it great?  But he’ll be back.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
 
Villagers:  “Two.  One-- two.  One-- two.  One-- two.  One-- two.”
 
H:  “Well-- that’s the last ’a the fires!”
 
All:  [Cheer]
 
Men’s Voices:  “All right!”  “Yeah!  Hooray!”
 
Ja:  “Don’t worry, good people!  The palace will pay to repair the damages!”
 
I:  “All right!”
 
Ja:  “I’m afraid I’m gonna have to do more than just make repairs.  As the Crown Prince, I’m gonna have to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”
 
I:  “Uh-- oh, oh, uh, uh-- we could, uh-- train Ruff to-- just spit goo at Strife.  You know, you know?  Kinda like a-- guard dog.  He could-- guard.  He could-- be a-- hmm.”
 
Ja:  “No.”
 
I:  “I can’t keep him, can I?”
 
H:  “I’m sorry.”
 
Ja:  “No.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
 
I:  “Uh-- I really don’t feel right about leavin’ Ruff out here by himself.  You know?  What if he-- he gets caught by a lion, or-or something?”
 
Ja:  “Yeah, he’d turn the lion into toast.”
 
H:  “According to the legend, there’s basilisks over this rise.”
 
I:  “Why hasn’t anyone ever seen one, before?”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
 
I:  “What if he’s all alone?  You know?  Just a scared little baby.  All right-- a-- _loud_, scared little baby.”
 
H:  “Doesn’t sound like he’s gonna be alone.”
 
I:  “Well, I guess he’ll be happier with his own kind, huh?”
 
H’s Voice:  “Goodbye, Ruff.”
 
Ja’s Voice:  “Take care of yourself.”
 
I’s Voice:  “Goodbye, little guy.”
 
I:  “Now I know how my mother must have felt when I left home.”
 
Ja:  “Yeah-- relieved.  Ha-ha.  Uh.”
 
H:  “He’ll be all right.  You did the right thing.”
