Jesse, Rebecca and others in “The Legend of Ranger Joe”

Jesse

Hermes was not only the Greek God of Swiftness, but it's also my great-grandfather's name. I'll have you know, he saved the whole town from destruction when he raced a river of lava down a mountain barefoot. All right? He went to tell the whole town a volcano erupted. 'Course, no one was left in the town, 'cause who could miss a volcano erupting? But the point I'm tryin' to make here is the name Hermes is equated with strength, courage, and very hot feet. So now, who among you will make fun of a name so bold and so courageous as Hermes? Huh?!

Rebecca

I'm sorry, honey.

D.J.

We didn't realize the name meant so much to you.

Jesse

Good.

Did you want me to call you Uncle Hermes?

Jesse

[scoffs] No. What am I? Some kinda geek?
