| '''Jason:''' "Hey! I'll shine your shoes for a dinar, tough guy!" [Laughs]
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Hi, Jason."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "I've been lookin' all _over_ for you! It's festival time!"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Yeah, uh, listen-- I'm kinda busy, right now-- OK?"
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "I got tickets for the dunk booth. Guess who's inside? Initials, 'E-- olaus'."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Yeah. Um-- I'm not really feelin'-- really festive, right now."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "What's wrong?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Nothin'. Nothin'."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "It's Eurydice, isn't it?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Yeah. She saved my life, you know? And I wasn't able to save hers."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Hercules-- if she didnt' meet you-- she'd be trapped as a slave to Bacchus forever. You freed her. What is it?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Uh-- Jason-- "
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "You're goin' to Lake Olympus, aren't ya?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Yes-- and if you're my friend, you won't try and stop me."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "You can't!"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "You know the legend. Now, if I swim deep enough, I'll come up on the other side-- right at the mouth of the River Styx."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Eurydice's gone. You going down there is not gonna change that."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "I know that. But I may be able to help her before it's too late."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "How can you help?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "I can plead her case before she's judged."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Look-- first of all, you're alive. Living people aren't allowed on the other side. Second of all-- she's a Bacchae. All Bacchae go to Tartarus."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "She reformed, all right? She's a good person, now, and she deserves to go to the Elysian Fields."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Wait."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Why? You can't stop me."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "No, but I can come with you."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' [Whispers]: "OK."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "It's just not fair. Bacchus made Eurydice one of his slaves in the first place. But he's a god, so she's gotta pay the price?"
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Are you sure you're Uncle Hades isn't gonna mind us just droppin' in?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' [Sighs]: "I don't know. I haven't met him yet."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Great-- the god of the other side determines where we spend eternity, and you just wanna drop by unannounced."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Eh-- I'm goin', Jason."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Just checkin'."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "There it is, Lake Olympus. Together on three, OK?" [Sighs]
| |
| | |
| '''Jason''' and '''Hercules:''' "Three."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "That was weird-- swimmin' down to the surface."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "I can't believe it. We made it to the other side, huh?"
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "The party hasn't started yet."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Oh."
| |
| | |
| == Act One ==
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Ooh."
| |
| | |
| '''Charon:''' [Cha]: "Come on, you guys-- get a move on. Got a schedule to keep."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "OK."
| |
| | |
| '''Charon:''' [Sniffs]: "Wait a minute. Hmm. You're not dead. Get outta here."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules's Voice:''' "Listen. Uh-- "
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Uh-- you must be _Cha_ron."
| |
| | |
| '''Charon:''' "'Sharon'? What, do I look like a showgirl? Huh?! You want I should do a bubble dance?! Cha-_ron_."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Cha-_ron_-- well, um-- y-you run the boat for, uh-- dead souls to the other side, right? Well-- we need your help."
| |
| | |
| '''Charon:''' "Executive officer in charge of transport-- aquatic division-- first class-- punk! And I _don't_-- help-- the living!"
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Uh-- hey, Mr. Executive-officer-of-- transportation-and-- whatever-- uh-- he's here to see his uncle."
| |
| | |
| '''Charon:''' "Get outta here."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Uh-- "
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "His uncle's Hades-- and his father's Zeus."
| |
| | |
| '''Charon:''' "Are you really Zeus' kid?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Um, yeah-- Hercules. Nice to meetcha."
| |
| | |
| '''Charon:''' "Ahh-- all right. Get on the boat. But _he_ can't! Hades'd rip my arms off and-- beat me with the soggy end if I let a living mortal come down the river."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Oh-hhh."
| |
| | |
| '''Charon:''' "Besides-- he'd put too much weight in the boat. I'd never be able to row it. I got arthritis. I got bur-sitis. And I'm not even gonna _tell_ ya about my bunions-- or the pain in my liver-- I wouldn't wish it on Prometheus. And then-- I got this-- kind of cyst-boil thing that squirts-- "
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' [Interrupting]: "Whoa! OK! OK-- let's make a deal. You let my friend, Jason, come with us-- I'll do all the rowing. Huh? You could just sit back-- relax-- what do you say?"
| |
| | |
| '''Charon:''' "Well-- "
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Dah, well, and-and, Jason will rub your-your bunions-- "
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "What?"
| |
| | |
| '''Minos:''' "It is time to decide the fate-- of the mortal-- Sarah. Will she spend eternity in the blissful paradise-- of the Elysian Fields? Or-- will she be condemned-- to Tartarus?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Ooh. Thanks very much."
| |
| | |
| '''Charon:''' "Hey, hey-- w-- wait a minute. Uh-- Hercules. We're way ahead 'a schedule. Want a job?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Oh. Huh-- no, thanks. Listen, we gotta run, OK? No time for talkin'."
| |
| | |
| '''Charon:''' "What about 'Bunion Boy'?"
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "Sarah was a good person! She didn't wanna be a Bacchae! No one does! Please! Don't send her to Tartarus!"
| |
| | |
| '''Minos:''' [Slowly] "All Bacchae are condemned to Tartarus. And-- that includes you, Eurydice."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "No. No!"
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "Hercules."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Wait!"
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "Hercules! Ahhh! Ahh! Ahh!"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Eurydice! Hi."
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "Hi!"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Don't worry. I won't let go."
| |
| | |
| '''Minos:''' "_Who_ are you?!"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "I'm Hercules! And I _demand_ to see my Uncle Hades!"
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "I am Hades! Who dares to invoke my name?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "Did you really come all this way and expect special treatment because you're the-- privileged-- son of Zeus?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "No."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Actually, he spent most of his privileged life-- being ignored-- by his father."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "Is that true?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Uhhhhh-- the Fates can be cruel. Look what they did to you."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "You're telling me. My brother, Zeus, gets to be-- king of all gods. My other brother, Poseidon-- gets to be god of the sea. I get-- god of the other side-- hangin' around for eternity with nothin' but dead people. Doesn't seem fair."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Neither is sending Eurydice to Tartarus when she deserves to go to the Elysian Fields. But I'm not asking you for special favors 'cause I'm your nephew, OK? I'm just- asking you to be fair."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "She was a Bacchae. She did evil things for an evil god. All Bacchae go to Tartarus."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Why is that? You know, I mean, i-it sounds like you just made up that rule 'cause you don't like Bacchus, or somethin'."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "So, what if I did? The guy's the biggest worm in the family."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "So, why're ya takin' it out on his victims? The only reason Eurydice's here is because she gave her life to save mine."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "A worthy sacrifice, I agree. Eurydice-- at the time of your judgment-- you didn't beg forgiveness for yourself. You spoke out for-- mortal Sarah-- another Bacchae. Why?"
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "Uh-- I lured her to Bacchus. She doesn't deserve to suffer forever."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "You sound sincere."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades's Voice:''' "But there's a test."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Oh, a test?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "To see if you're truly sorry for the things you did as a Bacchae."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades's Voice:''' "If you're-- worthy-- for forgiveness."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "There's someone in the Elysian Fields you need to meet."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "You must seek out a woman by the name of-- Cynthea. She's the mother of Sarah-- a girl you lured into Bacchus' evil service. If you can earn the woman's-- forgiving embrace-- then you'll be allowed to remain the Elysian Fields, forever."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "What if she can't?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "Tartarus. Because you're half Olympian god, you may accompany her to the Elysian Fields."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Hey! What about me?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "Huh! You can't be serious!"
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Huh. Sir-- have you ever been in love?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "No-- sadly, I-- have not.
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Well, I haven't, either. But from what I hear, it makes people do some pretty foolish things."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "Such as?"
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Such as-- rowin' down the River Styx. Such as-- takin' on your elite guards. Such as-- messin' with an-- Olympian god as-- powerful and-- as handsome-- as yourself."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "Hmm. Foolish things, all of them. I-- agree."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Yeah, well? Then, let me go with them. I can keep an eye on your fool-in-love nephew, and make sure he doesn't do any foolish things in the Elysian Fields."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades's Voice:''' "Very well."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "Ex-Bacchae in the Elysian Fields. Living mortals running around the place like it was a tourist attraction. Maybe I should just open it up to everyone and-- charge admission. You-- Eurydice, and-- Jason-- may go to the Elysian Fields. And remain there-- until the sand-- has run its course. Return here-- through the gateway."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Wh-whoa. What if we don't?"
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "Then you are condemned to Tartarus-- forever."
| |
| | |
| == Act Two ==
| |
| | |
| '''Ja's Voice:''' "So, this is the Elysian Fields, huh?"
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Father."
| |
| | |
| '''Eur's Voice:''' "Whatever happens-- "
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "-- thank you-- for caring enough to try to help me."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "I'd do anything for you."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Father!"
| |
| | |
| '''Aeson:''' "Ah. Jason?"
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' [Laughing] "Father!"
| |
| | |
| '''Aeson:''' "Jason? Oh, my son! My son! Oh! Oh, how I've missed you! But, no-- no, no, no. It was not your _time_, Son. You were supposed to lead Corinth-- to live your full life."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "But, Father-- I'm alive. I'm here with a friend. He's-- he's Hades' nephew, and-- uh-they gave us permission to come to the other side!"
| |
| | |
| '''Aeson:''' "Well, well, well! Thank the Fates!"
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Oh! Oh, Father! We only have a short time and there-- there's so much I wanna talk to you about."
| |
| | |
| '''Aeson:''' "Come, tell me all!"
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "That's her-- "
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice's Voice:''' "-- Sarah's mother, Cynthea."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Oh, uh-- good luck. Go."
| |
| | |
| '''Aeson:''' "How are things in Corinth?"
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Great. The harvests are plentiful. People are workin'. I just negotiated a trade agreement with the Athenians."
| |
| | |
| '''Aeson:''' "The Athenians, huh? Their king, Claudius, he's a cheat, now. He's not to be trusted."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "The Claudius that you knew has passed away. I deal with his son."
| |
| | |
| '''Aeson:''' "Hmm-- I see."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Wow. People of Corinth miss you, Father. I miss you."
| |
| | |
| '''Cynthea:''' "My baby's been sent to Tartarus-- because she was a Bacchae-- because of _you_."
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "I'm sorry."
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice's Voice:''' "None of us-- meant to help Bacchus hurt people. I was like Sarah. I thought Bacchus was an answer to all my problems."
| |
| | |
| '''Cynthea:''' "If you were like Sarah, then why are you still here?! Why were _you_ spared?!"
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' [Sighs] "I haven't been spared. I'm-- so sorry for the pain I've caused you. I don't know how to fix it."
| |
| | |
| '''Cynthea:''' "You can't!"
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "If I could trade places with your daughter-- I would."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "I can fix it."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "Hercules! You're early!"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "I know that we just met-- and I know that I have no right to ask you for special favors."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "That's right."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "But spare Sarah's soul."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "A soul can't leave its place of final judgment."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "But it can be traded. They haven't passes judgment on me, yet. Take me in Sarah's place."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "It's not your time. Besides-- no one sacrifices themselves for another."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Eurydice did."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "You know the rules. All Bacchae go to Tartarus."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Uncle Hades-- it is _wrong_ to condemn people after they've changed for the good. Now, you can prove yourself to be an even greater god than my father, Zeus. He doesn't care about mortals-- but you do. Give them-- a chance-- to change."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "Greater than Zeus."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules's Voice:''' "Yeah."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "The legend of your compassion will sweep the world."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "My image could use a boost. Well-- there's the gate to Tartarus. I accept your terms. Sacrifice yourself, and-- Sarah is saved."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Thank you. Goodbye."
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "Hercules! No! Nooo! Oh, let it be me! Take me! "
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "It is done."
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "Uh! You had _no_ right! I can't let him suffer for me!"
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "So, you both meant it. Such courage is rare. Perhaps people can change and become worthy of the Elysian Fields."
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice's Voice:''' "Thank you."
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "Thank you so much."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades' Voice:''' "Come along."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "This is your lucky day."
| |
| | |
| '''Sarah:''' "What happened? Where are we going?"
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "I have to go, now."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Um-- let me walk you home?"
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "Yeah."
| |
| | |
| '''Aeson:''' "Aah-- don't be sad. I'm happy here. And I know you'll make a great king."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Of course, I will. I'm your son. I love you."
| |
| | |
| '''Aeson:''' "And I love you, Son. I love you-- forever."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Forever."
| |
| | |
| '''Aeson:''' "Go on. Go on."
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "I'll never forget what you just did for me."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "It was nothing compared to what you did for me."
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "I miss you already, Hercules."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Be happy. That's all I ever wanted for you."
| |
| | |
| '''Eurydice:''' "I know. And now I can be, thanks to you."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Jason. Jason."
| |
| | |
| '''Sarah:''' "Oh, Mother!"
| |
| | |
| '''Cynthea:''' "Sarah!"
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "Hercules-- nephew-- you've given me a lot to think about."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "I've learned a lot from you, too, Uncle Hades. There you go. Hey, listen, we gotta get goin'."
| |
| | |
| '''Hades:''' "Let me save you the trip."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Whoa. I'm not rubbin' this guy's bunions."
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "Wait, no. No, no, no. Just wait. Come on. Hit me."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason:''' "Whoo! Yes! That was awesome!"
| |
| | |
| '''Hercules:''' "I've always wanted to do that! Goodbye."
| |
| | |
| '''Jason's Voice:''' "Come on, Hercules."
