| [[[[[[Narrator: “Last time, on Hercules”: H: “Jason! I got
| |
| here as fast as I could. Where is she?” Alcmene: “Not even the

| “You know, you’re the best friend I-- and I’ve seen you do some
| |

| |

| no regrets.” H: “I love you, Mother.” Alcmene: “No regrets.”

| Zeus: “Your mother was a good woman-- and she had a good life.
| |
| But mortal life must end. It’s part of living.”
| |
| | |
| H: “Sounds so empty, coming from you.”
| |
|
| |
| Zeus: “I don’t understand your attitude. I always tried not to
| |
| interfere-- in her life-- and in yours.”
| |
| | |
| H: “You did succeed in that. Congratulations.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Well, what would you have me do? Hmm? Intercede with
| |
| the Fates? Stop old Atropos cutting your mother’s thread of
| |
| life? That was destined from the moment she was born. It wasn’t
| |
| mine to do.”
| |
| | |
| H: “No-- she wouldn’t-- wouldn’t want special treatment for
| |
| herself-- even though she treated everyone else that way. What
| |
| do you want? Why are you here, now?”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “You’re at a turning point in your life. I want to help
| |
| you.”
| |
| | |
| H: “Ha-- you wanna help me. Did you care _anything_ for her?”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “That’s not what I’m here to talk about.”
| |
| | |
| H: “Good answer, Dad.”

| I: “How you doin’?”
| |
| | |
| Jason: “Oh-- I’m OK. It’s tough.”
| |
| | |
| I: “Yeah. Have you seen Hercules?”
| |
| | |
| Jason: “Not for a while. He’s taking it hard.”
| |
| | |
| I: “He loved her.”
| |
| | |
| Jason: “Oh, we all did. I can’t believe she’s gone. I still
| |
| hear her voice. Alcmene. She loved you like a son, Iolaus. She
| |
| said it many times.”
| |
| | |
| I: “Think we should look for him?”
| |
| | |
| Jason: “I think he wants to be alone for awhile.”
| |
| | |
| I: “I know he’s hurting. Wish I could help.”

| Zeus: “I cared for your mother-- a very great deal. Her
| |
| sweetness-- and goodness-- filled my heart. And, um-- I’ll miss
| |
| her smile.”
| |
| | |
| H: “You could’ve let us know you cared-- let her know while she
| |
| was still alive.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Oh, she knew-- I was always a great deal closer than you
| |
| thought. But, I couldn’t be a father to you. That’s why her
| |
| being your mother was so important.”
| |
| | |
| H: “This, uh-- sentimental streak is a little hard to swallow--
| |
| and a little late.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “But not too late. I’m your father. You’re my son. It’s
| |
| time we both acknowledged that.”
| |
| | |
| H: “Ha-ha. So-- so, what do you wanna do, Dad? You wanna go,
| |
| uh-- fishing-- build a birdhouse? Maybe go to the pond and feed
| |
| the ducks?”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Your mother is gone! You have no more family left here.
| |
| It’s time for you to take your rightful place.”
| |
| | |
| H: “And that would be?”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “By my side-- ruling the gods of Olympus.”

| | |
| H: “Me and you on Olympus. Now, what would be the point of
| |
| that?”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “To bring us togeher.”
| |
| | |
| H: “Oh.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “You’ll rule beside me, over all the gods. Give up your
| |
| mortal self and become a god-- full and complete. It’s within my
| |
| reach to do that.”
| |
| | |
| H: “I know it is. You can give it, and you can take it away.
| |
| But, we’ve been through this before. Olympus and I are not a
| |
| good match.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “That was a _long_ time ago. Things are different, now.
| |
| You’re different. You were young then, making young mistakes.”
| |
| | |
| H: “I was trying to impress a father who wasn’t there.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Fine-- the fault was mine. Believe that if you want.
| |
| But, you had no idea who you were then.”
| |
| | |
| H: “And now I do.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “And now you do. You’re the champion of mankind-- in a
| |
| world that’s frequently not fair and always, not easy. The
| |
| people know they can count on you. But, now it’s time for your
| |
| next step. Your true destiny-- is on Olympus.”
| |
| | |
| H: “There are too many people who count on me down here.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “You’d be more their champion than ever. And we’d-- we’d
| |
| have a chance to get to know each other.”
| |
| | |
| H: “There was a time that would have meant a lot to me. I’m not
| |
| so sure anymore.”

| Y Jason: “Whoa. Whoa.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I know all the legends about Zeus. But when I ask what’s
| |
| he like-- all I get are blank looks.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Yesterday, you were through with Zeus. ‘If I’m
| |
| nothin’ to him, then he’s nothin’ to me.’”
| |
| | |
| Woman: “This is very good.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Does that sound familiar?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Yeah.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Huh?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I know, I know. But, I mean, he’s my father. You got a
| |
| chance to know your dad before he died, right? Never even met
| |
| mine.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “What if you could? What would you say?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I don’t know. At least, I’d be able to see him, though.
| |
| You know, and I could get an idea of what I had to measure up
| |
| against.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “He’s-- king of the gods. Those are some pretty big
| |
| shoes to fill. Here we go.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Your dad was the king of Corinth. So-- by watching him,
| |
| you got an idea of what was expected of you-- right?”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Yeah.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Well, that’s why I wanna meet Zeus. I wanna know what’s
| |
| in store for _me._ Plus, I kinda wanna know my dad.”

| 1st Man: “What’s the matter? Aren’t we good enough for ya?”
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| Y H: “Nice moves yourself-- Brother?”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “I’m Apollo!”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “If he’s Apollo, how is it I can see him?”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Hey, when ya got it, flaunt it.”
| |
| | |
| Woman’s Voice: “[?] board!”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “This is Jason, uh-- king of Corinth.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Heard a lot about you, Herc.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “You have.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “When Zeus and Hera are around each other-- your name
| |
| comes up a lot.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Zeus-- talks about me?”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Aah, Hera does most of the talking, but hey-- ain’t
| |
| that the way it is?”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Apollo-- you were wonderful.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Ariadne-- my brother, Hercules.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Ooh-- are you a god, too?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Uh-- well, kind of. We have the same father. This is
| |
| Jason.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Come on-- let’s go meet some of the gang.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Uh, Jas? What do ya think?”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Uh-- I got, I got-- yeah, I got stuff to do. Yeah, go
| |
| on. It’ll give ya a chance to find out about Zeus.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “We fly in style. I’ll take it easy, at first. You’ll

| get the hang of it pretty quick. “Whoo-hoo-hoo!”

| 1st Man’s Voice: “This is the life!”
| |
| | |
| 2nd Man’s Voice: “Tell me about it!”
| |
| | |
| Woman’s Voice: “Help me. Help me. Thank you.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Here it is.”
| |
| | |
| Woman’s Voice: “Mmmm, Apollo.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Hey. How ya doin’? Ha-ha-ha-ha! Momus! Good to see
| |
| ya! Ha-ha. Kicked out of Olympus _again_, I hear!”
| |
| | |
| Momus: “Gods can be such creeps. They’ve got no sense of humor.
| |
| Can’t take the truth about themselves.” [Laughs]
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “They might if you didn’t throw it in their faces.”
| |
| | |
| Momus: “Oh.” [Laughs]
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Meet Hercules.”
| |
| | |
| Momus: “You’re gonna give slumming a bad name. Perhaps it’s
| |
| your mortal sweetie. Now, here’s Mr. Half-and-Half. [Laughs]
| |
| Good to see ya.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Go powder your nose.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I didn’t realize-- gods hung out with mortals like this.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “They have their uses.”
| |
| | |
| Momus: “Don’t mind if I do.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “A little dab’ll do ya. Have some. It’s ambrosia.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I thought only gods were supposed to eat that.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Come on, you’re the son of Zeus! You’re entitled! If
| |
| not you, then who?! Welcome, Brother. No more half-god,
| |
| half-mortal. You’re all god, now.”

| |
| | |
| Y H: “Hi.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “You look different. He gave you ambrosia.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Yeah. Yeah, he did.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Well-- what’s it like?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I-- I don’t-- it’s like-- I- I can’t even describe it.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Oh, I wish I were a god.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “You know, I’m the son of Zeus. The situation’s a little
| |
| different. It’s OK. [Laughs] Hey, watch this. Oops.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Didn’t your mother teach you not to play ball inside
| |
| the house?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Hey-- I wanna meet Zeus.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Later. Let’s go, before you totally trash my temple.

| Male Voice: “Very amusing.”
| |

| Woman’s Voice: “They’re both dreamboats!”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Here it is-- you lose, you polish my board.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “All right-- but what if I win?”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Then the board-- is yours.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “But, I’ve got this board.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “It’s a board-- it’s not my board.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Ready-- set-- go!”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Whoa!”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Go! Go! Go! Come on!”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Not bad, Bro! Whoo-hoo! Careful, Bro. Ha-ha-ha-ha.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Uh-uh-uh.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Yeah! Come on, catch up! Hey, hey!”

| Y H: “Yeah!”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “That was awesome!”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Hoo, yeah! The best day of my life! Yeah!”
| |
| | |
| -----------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| -------------------------------
| |
| | |
| H: “This is the worst day of my life. I’ve never felt-- so-- .
| |
| All I can do is-- put a marker at the place she’s buried. I wish
| |
| I was more of a sculptor. But honestly, Iolaus, I-- I never
| |
| believed this day would come.”
| |
| | |
| I: “We should get away from this place. I mean-- everywhere you
| |
| look-- another memory.”
| |
| | |
| H: “I need those memories. I don’t wanna get away from them--
| |
| you know? It’s all I’ve got left of her.”
| |
| | |

| |

| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Well?”
| |
| | |
| H: “Well, what?”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “I need a decision-- yes or no.”
| |
| | |
| H: “It’s not an easy decision to make.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Why not? It should be. It’s what your mother would
| |
| want. You’re always fretting about the greater good for
| |
| humanity. And this would be your opportunity. You could do so
| |
| much more for them on Olympus. I need an answer.”
| |
| | |
| H: “Need an answer right now? Well-- then it’s no.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Ah, don’t be foolish-- and hasty.”
| |
| | |
| H: “An important part of this is us. Every time I really needed
| |
| your help, you let me down. I’m not talking about a kid missing
| |
| a Dad. I’m talking about my family dying-- and Serena dying,
| |
| when you could’ve done something to stop it!”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Ah, listen to yourself! ‘Poor me! Poor me!’ You’re
| |
| better than that-- aren’t you?! Because if you’re not-- I’ve
| |
| made a big mistake.”
| |
| | |
| H: “Let’s say you have-- so you can be on your way like always.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “I’ll give you time-- but not much.”
| |
| | |
| I: “Hercules. Jason’s back. You up for some dinner?”
| |
| | |
| H: “Zeus wants me to go to Olympus.”
| |
| | |
| I: “Zeus? Wa-wait-- wait. You mean, Zeus was here? Like--
| |
| really here? Zeus?”
| |
| | |
| H: “He was right here.”
| |
| | |
| I: “Olympus, huh? For good?”
| |
| | |
| H: “That’s what he’s got in mind.”
| |
| | |
| I: “Yeah-- but, I mean-- you’re not going, are ya?”
| |
| | |
| H: “He makes a a good argument for it.”
| |
| | |
| I: “You are going? Herc-- I gotta tell ya, I think this is a
| |
| _really_ bad idea.”
| |
| | |
| -----------------------------------------------------------------
| |

| |
| | |
| Y H: “I thought you’d be as happy about this as I am.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “I’m thrilled for you. I really am.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Think about it! I mean-- we can do-- anything.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “No, _you_ can do anything. You’re a god. That’s
| |
| great. But I’m still a king. And right now, I’m very busy, so
| |
| go take your little-- disappearing act somewhere else.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “What’s eatin’ you?”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Raiders from across the border-- if I go after ‘em, it
| |
| could cause war, and if I don’t, I’ll look weak.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Is that it? [Chuckles] Easy. Ooh! Ohh! Did you see
| |
| that? It’s no problem, Man. I’ll take care of it.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “I don’t want you to take care of it! It’s my problem!
| |
| I’ll deal with it!”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “No-- your problem is-- you’re jealous.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason [Chuckles]: “Of you?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Of me.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Will you stop doing that?!”
| |
| | |
| -----------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| -------------------------------
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Yahhh!”
| |
| | |
| Apollos: “Whoa! What happened to you?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I just don’t understand some people. I mean, Jason is one
| |
| of my best friends.”
| |
| | |
| Ap: “And he resents you being a god.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Yeah-- I-- think he does.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “What can you do? Get used to it, pal. They all do.
| |
| They may bring you an occasional basket of fruit to stay on your
| |
| good side-- but face it! Mortals resent us. They won’t admit
| |
| it-- but they do.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Think so, huh?”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “You bet I do. Come on. Let’s go have some fun.”
| |
| | |
| -----------------------------------------------------------------

| |
| | |
| Y H: “This is great! They can’t see us!”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Straighten that helmet.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Get the belt.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “I’ve sent word to our neighbors-- we’re crossing the
| |
| border-- after bandits. If you encounter soldiers, do not
| |
| engage. Your commander-- has my letter to the ki-i-i-i-ing!
| |
| Uh!”
| |
| | |
| Soldier’s Voice: “Your Highness.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Stay back! Stay back! Get back in line! Gosh!”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I’m sorry, Man, I didn’t mean to-- ”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Didn’t mean to what?! Embarrass me?! No thanks!”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Come on. Let’s go.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I’m sorry. I really am.”

| Apollo: [Laughs]
| |
| | |
| Y H: “You shouldn’t have done that.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Me?! It was your idea!”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Didn’t mean to embarrass him like that. Took it too far.
| |
| He’s a king.”
| |
| | |
| Apoll: “He’s nothing!”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “He’s my friend.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “That’s the old you talking. You’re a god, now. Act
| |
| like one.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “What in Tartarus do you think you’re doing?!”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “What?”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “I said-- ”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I heard what you said. What’s it to ya?”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Now, _you_ watch your mouth, boy. You don’t speak to
| |
| your father like that!”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “You’re Zeus?”

| [ACT III]
| |
| | |
| Y H: “You really Zeus?”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Is there something wrong with your hearing? I just said
| |
| I was, didn’t I? Oh, I’m _really_ disappointed in you,
| |
| Hercules.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “What?! Why?! How?! We just met!”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “You should never have eaten ambrosia.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Apollo said that is was-- ”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “I-- I don’t care what _he_ said! You should have known
| |
| better!”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I-- I can’t believe this! You know, the only reason I did
| |
| it was to find you.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “If you were meant to be a god, you would have been born a

| god. You are what you were meant to be-- what the Fates destined
| |
| you to be.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “You’re mad. I finally figured out a way to get your
| |
| attention, and you’re mad.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Oh, you got my attention, all right-- but I don’t know if
| |
| you’re gonna like it.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I’m really sorry that the first time we met was like this.
| |
| I can’t help that, now.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Well, I wouldn’t waste time feeling sorry for yourself.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Not only for me-- I feel every bit as sorry for you.”
| |

| Jason: “She would have loved it.”
| |
| | |
| H: “Yeah.”
| |
| | |
| -----------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| -------------------------------
| |
| | |
| I: “Hercules, Jason and I have been talking, and, uh-- well, we
| |
| understand that-- our friendship is gonna be part of whatever
| |
| decision you make. And-- well-- what I said before about it
| |
| being a bad idea? I was just being selfish. What I really want,
| |
| is what’s best for you.”
| |
| | |
| Jason: “We think it could be the right thing for you, Hercules--
| |
| to go to Olympus.”
| |
| | |
| I: “Yeah-- maybe, Zeus was right.”
| |
| | |
| H: “He is right. I think I could do better for mankind as a
| |
| god. But Iolaus, so much would change.”
| |
| | |
| Jason: “Yeah, going to Olympus would be a big step, you’re
| |
| right. It would make a lot of things different.”
| |
| | |
| I: “People would be better off with you-- you know-- up there.”
| |
| | |
| Jasaon: “Yeah, that’s right. You’d be keeping Ares and Discord
| |
| in line, right where they live.”
| |
| | |
| I: “No more innocent mortals being caught in the cross-fire.”
| |
| | |
| H: “Why are you trying to sell this to me?”
| |
| | |
| Jason: “We’re not tryin’ to sell it. We’re-- tryin’ to make
| |
| sure you look at it with open eyes.”
| |
| | |
| I: “Herc-- we both know-- there’s an empty place in your heart
| |
| where your father should be. And maybe Zeus has changed.”
| |
| | |
| H: “Ha-ha-- no, why would you say that? I mean, what would make
| |
| him change?”
| |
| | |
| Jason: “You would.”
| |
| | |
| I: “Yeah-- how you’ve lived your life-- what you’ve done with
| |
| your life.”
| |
| | |
| Jason: “You always say, ‘Follow you heart.’”
| |
| | |
| I: “That’s what you should be doing now.”
| |
| | |
| H: “In my heart, something tells me, this is-- the thing to do--
| |
| Mother really wanted me to make peace with Zeus-- but in my gut--
| |
| this-- becoming a god is, uh-- not to be taken lightly.”
| |
| | |
| -----------------------------------------------------------------
| |

| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Hey-- Hercules-- why are you walking? Gods don’t walk
| |
| to get around.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I do a lot of things gods don’t do.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “You do-- I noticed that. I think it’s nice you let
| |
| people see you. Apollo only does it when he’s showing off.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “He does a _lot_ of that.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “You expect humility from the god they call, “the
| |
| shining one.’? He’s just having fun.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Usually at some poor-- helpless human being’s expense.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “And that would be me, I suppose. I’m not some--
| |
| helpless human. I happen to-- _like_ Apollo.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “More importantly, you should like yourself. Doesn’t it
| |
| bother you the way he treats you?”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Maybe-- a little.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Well-- isn’t this sweet? You sure make a cute couple.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “We were only talking.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “About my favorite subject-- me. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
| |
| Hmm-- you like her, don’t you?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Well, of course, I like her.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Well, I don’t mind sharing her.”
| |
| | |
| Aridne: “Apollo!”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Uh! Second thoughts-- she’s yours-- my gift to you. I
| |
| hope you have as much fun with her as I did.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Do I mean anything at all to you?”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Sure, Honey-- you mean a good time.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “What’s wrong with you?”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “You wouldn’t have me lie to her, would you? What can I
| |
| say? The truth hurts.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “How could you say that to her, though?”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “She’s only a human, Hercules. She means nothing to us.
| |
| [Chuckles] We’re gods!”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Yeah-- we are.”
| |
| | |
| -----------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| -------------------------------
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “I thought you didn’t do that god stuff.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I was in a hurry. About what Apollo said-- it doesn’t
| |
| matter to me, and it shouldn’t to you.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “That’s not it. How could he say it? Uh-- I-I thought
| |
| I meant more to him.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Did you really?”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “No. I guess I knew what I was to him. But-- a chance
| |
| to play with gods-- and he paid attention to me. It was like--
| |
| being with Apollo would make me special, too. No, huh?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I think you are special, Ariadne-- but not because of
| |
| Apollo.”
| |

| Woman’s Voice: [Scream]

| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Hi, guys! Ha-ha-ha-ha! Oh, don’t go!”
| |
| | |
| Woman’s Voice: “Hurry!”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-hah-hah! I’m ba-a-ack!
| |
| Ha-ha. Whoo! Hoo-hoo! Ha-ha. Hey, Bro-- watch this! Heads
| |
| up, baby Bro! Hey! You are _determined_ to spoil my fun.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Looks that way.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “I don’t get it. I open the ultimate door for you--
| |
| made you a god. This is how you say thanks?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “No-- no thanks. You did that for you-- not for me.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “So what? Now you think you’re pretty hot stuff?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Hot enough.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “I’ll tell you what-- meet me this afternoon, and we’ll
| |
| see who’s top god around here.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “One condition.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Ooh, what’s that? You want rules?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “No-- I win, you leave these people alone, for good.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “OK. Easy enough. Get out of my way, idiots!”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “You’re getting under just about everyone’s skin, aren’t
| |
| you?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Well, charm seems to run in the family.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “Well, Apollo will knock some of that cockiness out of
| |
| you.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I need to ask you for a favor.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “No, I’m-- not gonna help you with the fight.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I wasn’t meant to be a god. I don’t wanna _be_ one.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “It’s a little late for that, isn’t it?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Well, can’t you take it from me?”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “You’d be no match for Apollo-- unless you’re a god. Half
| |
| mortal, half god-- you wouldn’t stand a chance.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I’m willing to take that chance.”

| [ACT IV]
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Gettin, good. Gettin’ _real_ good.”
| |
| | |
| Sparring Partner: “Ooh! Ahhhhh!”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Can I play?”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “You’re not gonna disappear again on me, are ya? Nice
| |
| job.”
| |
| | |
| Sparring Partner: “Thanks.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Nah-- not in that club anymore. Couldn’t pay the dues.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Gettin’ better.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Who? You or me?”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Both, I think.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Listen, Man-- about the other day-- ”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Forget it.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I-- I’m sorry, Man, I didn’t-- ”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “I know. I knew then, and-- I know now.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Good. Uh, I wanted ya to know. I gotta go.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Where ya goin’?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I need to settle somethin’ with Apollo.”
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “I’d like to see that. Mind some company?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Thought you’d never ask.”
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Hercules!”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Glad you could make it, Bro.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Let her down, now.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “I want to make it interesting. You know-- raise the
| |
| stakes? What have you done? You’ve lost your godhood.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “I haven’t lost anything-- gave it back.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Oh-- so I guess you wanna back out now, huh?”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Nobody’s backin’ out of anything. Let Ariadne go.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Go and get her.”
| |
| | |
| [Fight]
| |
| | |
| Y Jason: “Apollo! Uh!”
| |
| | |
| Woman’s Voice: “Yeah!”
| |
| | |
| Man’s Voice: “Let him have it, Apollo!”
| |
| | |
| Woman’s Voice: “You’re the man!”
| |
| | |
| Momus: [Laughs]
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Whoooooaaaa!”
| |
| | |
| Momus: “You can tell he’s not one of us. He’s too good.”
| |
| | |
| Apollo: “Whoooaaaaa! This is boring me. I’m outta here.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: [Screams]
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Are you OK? Can you stand up?”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Yeah. Thank you. I am _so_ grateful. You saved my
| |
| life. And you opened my eyes.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “You’re gonna be just fine, Ariadne.”
| |
| | |
| Ariadne: “Yeah, I think so. But-- I feel bad about you. I
| |
| mean-- you had a chance to be with you father. And you lost it.”
| |
| | |
| Y H: “Well, not altogether. Being a god isn’t all it’s cracked
| |
| up to be. Hard lesson, but-- one I’ll never forget.”
| |
| | |
| -----------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| -------------------------------
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “You learned a lot that day.”
| |
| | |
| H: “I learned a lot about myself. I wanted to be something I
| |
| wasn’t. Being a full god was not for me.”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “No-- not then.”
| |
| | |
| H: “Were you disappointed that I turned my back on being a god?
| |
| Turned my back on you?”
| |
| | |
| Zeus: “I um-- I was never more proud. But you had other
| |
| lessons to learn-- a life to live. You could see that even then.
| |
| Well? Hmm? What’s your answer? Will you join me on Olympus?”
| |
| | |
| H: “My friend. Hey. My brother. I’m ready to go.”
