Quotes

Eurydice: Bacchus believes that pleasure and freedom are what all creatures should live for. No rules. No fears. No regrets. Your academy is all training and studying. No fun. Be one of us, Hercules. Forever.

Hercules: What, you don’t believe me?

Iolaus: Uh, let me put it this way-- no.
Lilith: Your idea of a good party? That's to play 'Pin the tail on the Centaur'.
Iolaus: Yeah, Lilith's right, Herc. Uh, we do kinda want a second opinion.
Hercules: Well, fine then. You know what? There's lots of good food there.
Iolaus: They got good food here. Well, they have food here.
Hercules: And there's lots of interesting artwork.
Lilith: Hey-hey! That's what I always look for in a good party.
Hercules: There's girls. (Iolaus starts walking away) Hey, where you going?
