Quotes

Jason: Is this where we sign up for the competition?
Official: No. I just sit here in the hot sun, handing out headbands for my health.
Jason: What's the matter with you, man? I don't wanna share a meal with those guys.

Hercules: Hey, this is very important to me, okay?

Iolaus: Okay, but, we better start meeting some of your sisters.
Hercules: Listen. Jason, wait... listen. This has nothing to do with being afraid, okay? You're hurt. He's the son of a god.
Jason: That's enough! I'm sick of all this 'Sons of Zeus' stuff! It's garbage! My father may not be a god, but that doesn't make Pollux, or Castor, or you any better than me! Now, I'm gonna face this guy! If you don't like it... you stay here!
Pollux: Watch your mouth, kid. I'll show you what it means to be a son of Zeus.
Hercules: One of these days, you'll learn, Pollux. It's not who your father is. It's who you are.
Jason: Well, I guess that we were just afraid that new brothers would take the place of old friends.

Hercules: Aw. Hey, you guys are my brothers.
Lilith: Hey, what about me?

Hercules: Well, you're a brother, too, you know? Just, uh, well... kind of.

Trivia & References

New Guy - This episode is the first time Castor and Pollux appear.
