Hercules: The Legendary Journeys · Season 1
Oh, there's nothing like a bit of exercise to get the old blood flowing.
Speak for yourself.
Oh, come on, don't tell me you didn't enjoy it, Hercules. I saw that look on your face!
Well, then you better remember it, because I'm not gonna wear it again.
Damn you, Hera! You'll pay for this till the day I die!
Where are you going?
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.
Nothing will happen to me, Mother. I'm the son of a God, remember?
Don't doubt me, Lykus. I've fried bigger fish than your She-demon. You know? When Hercules and I were-- battling the Titans-- we were up against bearded behemoths-- eight feet tall-- no ten-- even twelve. We still managed to beat back two waves of those ugly brutes. (chuckles) I tell ya-- my head was echoing with the clang of swords for weeks after that-- oh, yeah.
How can you call this Hercules a hero? He's too busy ravaging his own home to help anybody. He must be crazy. You people think it doesn't matter 'cause the blood of Zeus runs in his veins.
[Iolaus overhears this and slams his drink down] Hey! Why don't you pipe down till you know what you're talking about?
I know what I saw with my own eyes, that's all I'm saying.
You didn't look into his heart, if ya did you've would've seen it was broken.
You don't make anymore sense then Hercules did.
[Iolaus grabs him] He lost his family. You understand that? They were swept away in a fireball sent down by his stepmother.
The goddess, Hera?
She's a murdering bitch. And his father's no better. Zeus turned his back on his own blood.
Where's your respect for the gods?
In a pig trough, where it belongs. Hercules deserves our respect now-- and our sympathy.
[Right after Salmoneus fell from the tree] How'd you get up there, anyway?
Some lunatic Cyclops kicked me in the rear and sent me flying.
If you let me live in peace I promise-- I'll help you do the same-- as long as you treat me-- with respect.
Heard you worked up a bit of an appetite, today.
Only fools challenge me.
That's right. That's why I have you on my side. I'm too smart to go up against you.
Yeah-- to my face you are.
Hey, I'm not like those jackasses in Trachas!
You better not be.
Would you doubt me-- huh? How could you do that? I pay you-- to vent your anger on people who have-- belittled you all your life! No one-- has ever been as good to you as I have.
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.
I don't wanna buy any of them.
Oh, you want something for nothing, huh?
That's not what I mean.
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?
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.
Hera doesn't care about anybody, except herself.
You're a fool if you believe that. Now, let me carry out their wishes!
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?
Calydon.
You should have given Calydon a chance.
Oh-- more fun with you-- more danger! (he laughs)
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!
Not another monster. Oh, no.
What is it? Not another one of those fire-breathing things-- ten times worse than the swamp bird!
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.
I know. You just got a new traveling companion.
How'd you figure that out?
Easy. She's cursed -- and I'm not.
Nobody's perfect. (laughs)
(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.
Time to die, little brother.
I hate my family.
(thinking up a plan, whispers) Take your dress off!
(incredulously) Couldn't that wait until after you rescue us?
Take it off!
(Lydia slaps him)
