Hercules Page #4

A true hero. Great!

Uh, exactly how do you become|a true hero?

First, you must seek out Philoctetes,|the trainer of heroes.

Seek out Philoctetes.|Right. I'll...

- Whoa!|- Whoa! Hold your horses!

Which reminds me.

Ha-ha! You probably|don't remember Pegasus...

but you two go way back, son.

Oh, Pegasus!

He's a magnificent horse...

with the brain of a bird.

I'll find Philoctetes,|become a true hero!

That's the spirit!

I won't let you down, Father!|Yee-hah!

Good luck, son.

I will beat the odds

I can go the distance

I will face the world

Fearless, proud and strong

I will please the gods

I can go the distance

Till I find my hero's welcome

Right where I

Belong

Whoa!

- You sure|this is the right place?

- What's the matter, little guy?|You stuck?

- Whoa! Hey, butt out, buddy!|- Ugh!

Girls! Stop! Stop!|Come back! Come back, come back!

Whoa, whoa! Oh, jeez!

Wait! Whoa, whoa, whoa!|Oh, nymphs!

- They can't keep their hands off me.|- Hey!

What's the matter?|You never seen a satyr before?

Uh, no.|Can you help us?

We're looking for someone|called Philoctetes.

- Call me Phil.|- Phil!

- Ow!|- Boy, am I glad to meet you!

I'm Hercules,|and this is Pegasus.

Animals. Disgusting.

I need your help.|I want to become a hero, a true hero.

sorry, kid.|Can't help ya.

- Wait.|- Whoo!

Uh, sorry. Why not?

Two words:
I am retired.

Look, I gotta do this.

Haven't you ever had a dream...

something you wanted so bad|you'd do anything?

Kid, come inside.|I want to show you somethin'.

Watch it! That was part|of the mast of the Argo.

- The Argo?|- Yeah.

Who do you think taught Jason|how to sail? Cleopatra?

I trained|all those would-be heroes.

Odysseus, Perseus, Theseus.|A lot of "yeuseus".

And every single one|of those bums let me down...

flatter than a discus.

None of'em|could go the distance.

And then there was Achilles.

Now there was a guy|who had it all...

the build, the foot speed.

He could jab.|He could take a hit.

He could keep on comin'.

But that furshlugginer|heel of his!

He barely gets nicked there once|and kaboom! He's history.

Yeah, I had a dream once.

I dreamed I was gonna train|the greatest hero there ever was.

So great, the gods would hang|a picture of him in the stars...

all across the sky...

and people would say,|"That's Phil's boy".

That's right.

Eh, but dreams are for rookies.

A guy can only take|so much disappointment.

But I'm different|than those other guys, Phil.

I can go the distance.|Come on. I'll show ya.

Jeez. You don't give up, do ya?

Watch this.

Holy Hera.

You know, maybe if I...|No! Snap out of it!

I'm too old to get mixed up|in this stuff again.

But if I don't become|a true hero...
