In this episode: Crow T. Robot (19), Joel Robinson (17), Tom Servo (12), Gypsy (4), Ismene (4), Antinea (3), Hercules (2), Dr. Clayton Forrester (1)

[one of Antinea's soldiers asks for forgiveness after his men were overpowered by Hercules' son Hylas and Timoteo who rescued Ismene]

You're right; it won't happen again.

[as Antinea] Because you're fired!

[as a pit of acid opens in the floor] Not the commode!

I knew it; death by chocolate.

SSoldier

[begging] No; don't kill me!

[as soldier] Don't make me take a bath!

[as the soldier is forced into the pit] You can't do that; I have tubes in my ears! You're gonna get in trouble so bad! Whoa!

It'll kill him, but it'll do wonders for his arthritis.

[as soldier; in the pit gurgling] Is it too late to request a last meal? [the soldier is soon reduced to corroded skeletal remains]

Another Jenny Craig success story.

[as Atlantis crumbles and citizens die in the climax] For Herc, these are just acceptable losses.

[Crow and Servo made a Hercules action figure- which seems to have only one action phrase]

I'm so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open.

Okay, we admit it; our action figure's lame- lame!

[crying] We're failures, Tommy; failures!

No, don't say that! You put your best foot forward.

I don't even have a foot! [cries again]

Okay; that's beside the point. You guys tried your very hardest, and because of that, you'll never be failures! [pulls Hercules' voice box cord again]

You're absolutely right, Joel Robinson. We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. Goodnight now. [Joel faints in shock as the show cuts to commercial]

[Antinea is talking with her daughter Ismene about why she sent her away to be sacrificed]

On the day a daughter of mine would outlive me, it is written that the sacred texts the Kingdom of Atlantis will be destroyed.

Mother, you can't mean-

You must die.

Boy, she's really strict.

No... I don't want to die.

[mock crying] I want to live! I want to live and laugh and love in life and live!

[as Antinea] You stop or I'll give you something to cry about.

[Antinea's guards arrive]

Take her away.

[as Antinea] And if you don't die willingly, I'm going to ground you, young lady!

[as the youths storm Queen Antinea's temple]

Remember the Alamo!

Storm the Bastille!

Give us Barabbas!

AAll

Hell no, we won't go! Attitca! Attica! Atticus...?

[Hercules stumbles upon the slaughtered army of youths outside Antinea's temple]

AAll

[as the pile of bodies] We love you Conrad, oh yes, we do...

[as Atlantis crumbles in the climax]

[pleading to a statue of their god Uranus] You must protect me, mighty Uranus!

[as Uranus] Bite me; I'm a statue.

TTimoteo

[after Hercules falls asleep following a conversation with Androcles] I really would've prefered he hit somebody.

[as Androcles] Well, whatever tugs at your bobber, little fella.

[as the film draws to a close, and the screen pans out to Hercules' boat sailing into the horizon with the heroes on it]

[in a Jamaican accent] Come back to Atlantis!

Make it Atlantis again, man!

Now let's hear Herc regale in the tale one more time!

[as the S.O.L. crew celebrate having gotten through (seemingly) the last Hercules movie they were subjected through]

Hercules, wherever you are out there in the ancient Greek Pantheon, I just want to say... bite me!
