Hercules in New York Page #3

A mistake.

Well, what do you know. . .

a mistake.

Last time, you gonna give up

the dough or ain't you?

Isn't it enough since Hercules

rode in your chariot?

You've been immortalized.

I've been who?

You heard him,

you've been immortalized.

- Driver:
Are you nuts?

- Well, you see. . .

- It's like this--

- Driver:
Like what?

Well, you see. . .

uh, we, I--

Okay, call the cops.

Not before I have some fun

by taking it out of your hides.

- Run, Herc!

- You deadbeat!

How dare you

touch Hercules?!

Brad says we've got the best

all around team we've ever had,

a cinch to win first place

in the intercollegiate meet.

I should hope so.

I know Rod, for one,

has worked very hard,

even to the point

of neglecting you, I'm afraid.

I don't mind, Dad.

I want him to succeed.

I'm sure he will,

darling.

You know what pleases me most,

Helen, about these boys?

J udging from their classroom work,

they apparently have brains

as well as brawn.

How are those men

over there?

They're just athletes

training.

- Athletes?

- College guys.

Hmmph. . .

What do you mean?

You think you could do better?

( snorts )

What do you mean?

These guys happen to be champions.

Ha!

- Nobody can beat them.

- Ha!

Wait!

Where are you going?

- Over there.

- What for?

To show them how

to throw the discus.

No, no.

You've gotta stay here.

You can't go

buttin' in there.

They would not like me

to instruct them?

No, it's just for college guys.

No outsiders allowed.

I am Hercules.

Put that discus down!

You have no business out here.

Those men do not throw it

far enough.

- You don't say.

- I do say.

- What is it, Helen?

- That man with the discus,

the coach seems to be

arguing with him.

These boys are

record holders.

Then they should

be better.

I suppose you believe

that you're better.

I once showed them in the

Olympics in Greece how to do it.

They profited by

my instruction.

You showed us in

the Greek Olympics, huh?

- What year was that?

- That was the year. . .

Hey, coach.

Let him show us, coach.

Maybe there is something

we could learn.

Well,

it's always possible.

All right, go ahead.

Show us.

Thank you.

What else do you do?

I ncredible.

Okay, Tom.

( cheers and applause )

Great throw, Tom!

Great throw!

Okay, let's see you

beat that.

A very good throw

for the earthbound.

Skip the wisecracks.

Put your money where your mouth is.

I do not have any money.

I mean, stop talking. . .

demonstrate.

All right.

Wow.

That's my buddy.

He's a Greek fella.

He just come over. . .

from Greece.

- Dawson.

- Coach.

You're our anchorman here.

- Show this fella something.

- Yes, sir, coach.

Fifty bucks says my pal beats
