Hercules in the Underworld Page #2

- If you hadn't been unfaithful, she wouldn't be so mad.

( Chuckles ) And you wouldn't

have been born.

It doesn't make my life easier,

living under a curse.

Curse? You've got

a warm bed to sleep in,

a lovely wife, beautiful children.

That's more then most men have.

That's more than I'll ever have.

You should realize how--

how lucky you are!

Yeah, I do.

Although I don't call it luck.

I've had to fight for what I have.

You'll have to work twice as hard

to keep it. But it's worth it.

And you know it.

It's worth it.

You know, you ought to

come and visit sometime.

- I'll try. Promise.

- Okay.

Hey! You were great today.

But don't forget to jab,

jab a little more, and duck!

Don't forget to duck now

and then ( Chuckles )

I should have known Eryx was

another one of Hera's tricks.

What difference would it have made?

You would have gone anyway.

- That's who you are. People call for help--

- And I always go. I know.

- Yes. - I can't stand to see the gods

play with people's lives,

anybody's lives.

I know that,

and I love that about you.

You got this from that great lion.

What would the people of Nemea

have done if you hadn't killed it for them?

And the Hydra that tormented

the Lernaeans?

What would have happened if you

hadn't have come to their aid?

And Tiphys.

Mmm.

Think of all the suffering he

caused until you stopped him.

And do I have to remind you

what happened in Saenia?

( Chickens Clucking,

Goats Bleating )

( Metal Clinking Steadily )

Nessus, what an I doing wrong?

Be patient, Hercules. You can't

just bully iron into shape.

You gotta mold it

Little by little, hmm?

Try heating it a little bit more.

( Children Laughing, Chattering )

( Chuckles ) Hercules.

- Hey. Hercules!

- Huh?

I think the harness

is hot enough now.

( Chuckles ) Yeah.

I guess I sort of got distracted.

Sometimes I just can't believe

they're mine. Know what I mean?

Yeah. You're a lucky man, Hercules.

Yeah. I'd say I am. Thanks.

- ( Horse Whinnies )

- ( Snorts )

( Clicking Tongue )

Dad! There's a girl coming!

- Are you Hercules?

- Yes, I am.

What is it? What's wrong?

- DEIANEIRA:
What's happened?

- I don't know.

Bring her inside, quickly.

- I need your help. Please!

- Here. Drink this.

There isn't any time.

I've traveled days and

nights to find Hercules.

My village, Gryphon--

A hole has opened up.

I-It's choking everything.

- What do you mean? What kind of hole?

- A hole breathing death.

We've made sacrifices and offerings.

- Nothing's been able to stop it.

- I'm not sure that I could help.

You must! Please, you're our only hope.

I've come all this way

to lead you back with me.

- Please say you'll go.
