Hercules quotes from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

Xena

Let me go. There's so much of my life I have to make amends for. I've got to get started.

Hercules

I wish you'd let me help.

Xena

You already have. You unchained my heart. Goodbye, Hercules.

I want my son to be safe.

Hercules

Don't worry, Salmoneus will keep him safe.

Salmoneus

He'll be safe. I'll be a wreck.

Salmoneus

Oh, ho, dear. Lyla, Lyla, do... does she remind you of anyone we both know?

Hercules

Come to think of it, she looks a little like Xena.

Salmoneus

Yeah, hah! Different dispostion, though, huh?

Huh, you know the difference between a Centaur and a three-legged dog?

Hercules

People died in that fire! I don't wanna hear any Centaur jokes!

I didn't kill your wife, but I was a part of those responsible. I was wrong and I'm sorry.

Sorry won't bring Lyla back.

Hercules

Neither will holding onto your hate.

Salmoneus

He's not on their side anymore. He fought against them.

Apology accepted-

-friend.

(Democles clasps his arm) Friend.

Iolaus

What in Tartarus is that?

Hercules

It's some sort of cocoon.

Iolaus

What for? A giant butterfly?

Hercules

Somehow I don't think it's going to turn out to be that friendly.

Iolaus

How come you're always right?

Hercules

It's a half-god thing.

Hercules

Who are you?

Who are you?! No, let me guess — sloping forehead, dragging knuckles... I'm thinking orangutan, or maybe gorilla. Ah! [Looks at Iolaus] That must be your little chimp.

Hercules

I can't say I'm pleased to meet you.

Oh, but I am pleased to meet you, Hercules, Son of Zeus, who cursed me with this form. You'll pay for your father's crime.

Hercules

What else is new?

Autolycus

Hercules! Ah, whatever your name is. What a pleasant surprise!

Hercules

I wish I could say the same, Autolycus. Isn't stealing the king's gold a little beneath you?

Autolycus

How good of you to notice. You see, I figure, every so often, a fella just has to go back to basics. Besides, the king, ahh, he's plenty rich. What about the needs of the people?

Iolaus

Oh, come on! You don't care about the people.

Autolycus

Of course, I do. I happen to be one of them. Well, as much as I've enjoyed this little reunion, I haven't enjoyed it that much. Good day.

Hercules

Where's Artemis' bow?

Autolycus

Ah, my fame spreads like wildfire.

Iolaus

Nope, like a bad rash.

Gilgamesh

This is really gonna hurt.

Hercules

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Gilgamesh

There's nothing you can do to stop Dahak from entering our world. It's his destiny!

Hercules

And it's my destiny to shut you up!

Hercules

Hang in there, buddy.

Iolaus

Can't.

Hercules

Sure you can. Come on.

Iolaus

Hercules… (dies)

Hercules

Come on. Don't you give up on me. Come on. Come on! Don't you give up on me!

Hercules

I don't know where you came from, Dahak, but you're not staying.

(cries) I come back all the way from the dead just to see you and this is the thanks I get!

Hercules

You may have his body, but you're not Iolaus.

Really? Then who am I? Hmm, I guess this is a question everybody asks themselves sooner or later, don't ya think? Pity I had to die to find my answer. Still, better late than never, huh?

Zarathustra, I am so disappointed in you. We had an understanding. I gave you power beyond mortal limitation, but you turned into the worst kind of coward.

Hercules

Why? Because he refused to kill his family?

You say "kill his family" as if that were a bad thing. The truth is, he didn't deserve them. Not much of a family man, are you, Zarathustra? If you were, you wouldn't have accepted me into your heart so greedily. But don't worry. Your failure is my success. And if it's any consolation, when I killed your family, I didn't give them a chance to scream.
