Hercules quotes from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

Hercules

Damn you, Hera! You'll pay for this till the day I die!

Hercules

(to the teen cult tribe) Is that the God you worship? That- take those masks off. Go home. Go back to the villages and farms that you came from. If you have to fight, fight for peace; not for war.

Hercules

I'd rather sleep in a dungeon with rats, than share satin pillows with a viper.

Hercules

(Deric is about to throw Jakar to his death) Deric! Is revenge the only legacy you can pass on to Kefor? Is there no room in his life for compassion and forgiveness?

Iolaus

Oh, there's nothing like a bit of exercise to get the old blood flowing.

Hercules

Speak for yourself.

Iolaus

Oh, come on, don't tell me you didn't enjoy it, Hercules. I saw that look on your face!

Hercules

Well, then you better remember it, because I'm not gonna wear it again.

Where are you going?

Hercules

To pay Hera back the best way I can -- by destroying her seven temples.

That won't bring your family back. You'll only put yourself in danger.

Hercules

Nothing will happen to me, Mother. I'm the son of a God, remember?

Hercules

[Right after Salmoneus fell from the tree] How'd you get up there, anyway?

Salmoneus

Some lunatic Cyclops kicked me in the rear and sent me flying.

Salmoneus

OK, now here's what I could do. I could call one of my togas, the 'Hercules Deluxe-ees'-- huh? Just tell me which ones you wanna buy.

Hercules

I don't wanna buy any of them.

Salmoneus

Oh, you want something for nothing, huh?

Hercules

That's not what I mean.

Salmoneus

No, what you mean is, you don't care about your image. But you better start, my friend, 'cause the public is fickle. All right-- tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give you your own line of togas-- cut you in for a piceof the action--huh, huh? And here's the advertising slogan. 'Hercules, the giant killer-- takes a giant step forward in fashion!' Pretty snappy, huh?

Hercules

I gave your people that food to eat, not waste.

An offering to Hera will bring us much more good fate than will full stomachs.

Hercules

Hera doesn't care about anybody, except herself.

You're a fool if you believe that. Now, let me carry out their wishes!

Hercules

Is this what you want? To see good food burned while you starve? That's what I thought. Now, go ahead and eat it this time! Feed your stomach-- not Hera's fire.

Look around. We're on our last legs. Where d'ya expect us to go?

Hercules

Calydon.

Hercules

You should have given Calydon a chance.

Oh-- more fun with you-- more danger! (he laughs)

Hercules

Thanks for the compliment, I think.

You're welcome. Wait. I sense something. Something hairy-- with a tail! A-and-and breath so bad-- it can wilt flowers!

Hercules

Not another monster. Oh, no.

What is it? Not another one of those fire-breathing things-- ten times worse than the swamp bird!

Hercules

You better have another vision. It's the dog from Parthus.

(laughs) Not the one who was a woman? (laughs again)

Here, girl! Here! Here! Here! Here! Come! Come! Come! Come! Come! Ha-ha. You're off the hook, Hercules.

Hercules

I know. You just got a new traveling companion.

How'd you figure that out?

Hercules

Easy. She's cursed -- and I'm not.

Nobody's perfect. (laughs)

Ares

Time to die, little brother.

Hercules

I hate my family.

Iolaus

Come on! (Hercules and Iolaus fight) Fight, damn it! Quit acting like you're too good for me!

Hercules

I have never been too good for you! I'm just trying to stay alive long enough for you to come to your senses!

Iolaus

I can't believe you'd show your face here.

Hercules

Stay out of this, Iolaus. My fight's with Xena, not you.

Iolaus

Don't push me aside! You're the one that attacked Xena and killed the warrior with her.

Maybe you don't count so well. There's six of us and there's two of you.

Hercules

Good point. Iolaus, what do you think? Six to two?

Iolaus

Well, it's not really fair. Maybe we should let them go.

Hercules

You can go!
