Teaser

FADE IN: EXT. KORA'S INN - DAY A MAN ON HORSEBACK is picking up some food to go at the inn's drive-in window. KORA hands him a meal in a sack. Kora: Enjoy your meal. Have a nice day. The man rides away. Looking out through the window, we see the next customer "drive" up: IOLAUS. Kora: Take your order? Iolaus: How about taking the day off instead? We're going to Corinth to have some fun -- why don't you come along? Kora leans out the window and sees Iolaus' "horse": he's riding on a plank carried on the shoulders of HERCULES and JASON. Kora: I bet all three of you wanted to be the horse's rear end. Hercules and Jason dump Iolaus off the plank. Jason: Come with us, Kora -- we'll have a great time. Even Hercules is gonna have fun, if he remembers how. Hercules: Hey, I'm not going. I told you, I have to help Hephaestus today. Jason: He's a god, Herc -- he can help himself. Hercules: He's my half-brother, and I promised to give him a hand. Kora: Too bad Hercules won't be along to chaperone. If he was, I would've gone. Kora moves away from the window, disappearing. Iolaus: Way to go, Herc. Couldn't you at least let her think you were going? Hercules: She wasn't going to go -- Iolaus: If you're ever on fire, Jason, just wrap Hercules around you. (in Hercules' face) Wet blanket. Hercules: I am not. Jason: You're not exactly the life of the party. A horn blows, interrupting. They turn and see a chariot waiting behind them, with a gruff, tough, grizzled old CHARIOT DRIVER blowing on a hunting horn. Chariot Driver: Move it, you pups -- make way! Doesn't that four-legged freak Cheiron teach you little boys manners? Jason: (a challenge) Maybe you'd like to try to teach us a less? The chariot driver grabs the handle of his sword. Chariot Driver: Nice people take turns. (pulls sword most of the way out of scabbard) Who wants to go first? Hercules: Come on, guys -- let's get outta here. Hercules hauls Jason and Iolaus away, around the corner of the building. The Chariot Driver drives up to the window. Kora appears. Kora: Can I take your order? Iolaus slips along the wall of the inn, to the corner behind the chariot, carrying a rope. Jason and Hercules follow him, curious. Iolaus: That loud-mouth said we were little boys. So let's play. Hercules: What are you doing? Iolaus: I'm gonna take that bully's wheels right out from under him. (he gives Hercules one end of the rope) Here -- tie this to a tree. Paying rope out behind him, Iolaus slips around the corner of the buildings and creeps toward the back of the chariot. He ties the rope to the back of the chariot. Then he slips away. Kora appears in the window and gives the Chariot Driver a sack.
