The Battle for Mount Olympus
This transcript is dedicated to the memory of Kevin Smith.
(singing) Before man, before moon, before history,
In a world made of magic and mystery,

(singing) Gods and Titans, lightning and bone,
Fought to possess the Chronos stone.
NYMPH #3
(singing) For he who held the stone held the world,
And into darkest earth the Titans were hurled.

NYMPH #3
(singing) And no man born is truly free,
ALL NYMPHS
(singing) Across the sea of time.
NYMPH #4
(singing) Zeus descended from the sky,
The lightning by his side,
ALL NYMPTHS
(singing) Love like thunder in his heart,
To take a mortal bride.
NYMPH #4
(singing) And from their union came a son,
Half human and half god,
ALL NYMPTHS
(singing) With twice the strength of mortal men,
To walk where heroes trod.
Come with me, across the sea of time,
NYMPH #1
(singing) When men have fallen to their knees,
NYMPH #2
(singing) And all the gods ignore their pleas,

Hmm, must've been something he ate.
EXTRA
Thank you, Hercules!
EXTRA
Thank you!
EXTRA
Hooray for Hercules!
EXTRA
Ha-ha-ha!
EXTRA
Hooray!
EXTRA
Destroyed the monster!
Huh! Thank you. Wow, that was fantastic!
IOLAUS
Nice job with the monster.
HERCULES
No sweat. Where were you, anyway?
IOLAUS
Hey, I got here as soon as I could. I would've
jumped in, but, well, you looked like you were
doin' okay.
HERCULES
Thanks, buddy.
EXTRA
Hercules, Hercules! Do ya like fish?
HERCULES
Well, sure I-
And there's plenty more where that came from.
Free fish any time you want. A lifetime supply.
HERCULES
Thanks, but I think this is a lifetime supply.
Good-bye.
EXTRA
Good-bye, Hercules.
EXTRA
Come back anytime, Hercules. You're the best.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh, Hercules, you're the best! How can we ever
repay you?! What can we ever-"
HERCULES
Here-
-have a fish.
More fools to rob! Ha!
Monsters, highwaymen. What's next? Satyrs?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nice place, huh?
EXTRA
Yo, baby!
You talkin' to me?
EXTRA
Oh it's Xena.
Why don't you and your little friend give yourselves
a thrill?
XENA
Thanks, don't mind if we do. Come on, Gabrielle.
GABRIELLE
You guys asked for it.
We've, uh, had our eyes on you for, uh, quite
some time.
I've had my eyes on you, too.
Ya have, huh?
XENA
Who wouldn't notice such handsome, distinguished
satyrs with such a large bag of gold?
Knock it off, hair-ball!
This gold, it didn't, by any chance, come from...the
purses of innocent travelers on the road to Corinth,
did it?
EXTRA
What if it did?
XENA
Hmm. Well, if it did, I'd just have to-
-take it back.
EXTRA
Hey, give me that. It's ours.
XENA
Sorry, I don't think so. Hee-yah!
You can't just walk in here and take our gold.
You're welcome to try and stop me, goat-breath.
Bravo!
XENA
Ares.
ARES
Ah, Xena, I love watching you work.
XENA
Thanks, but the mighty God of War doesn't come
down from Mount Olympus to a dive like this just
to see the floor show.
You know me too well.
XENA
That's for sure.
ARES
Actually, there is something you can do for me.
XENA
And, as usual, my answer is "No."
ARES
It concerns your...friend, Hercules.
XENA
My 'friend'? Don't you mean your brother?
ARES
Half-brother. I just thought you should know-
-he's in grave danger. He's on his way to Thebes.
GABRIELLE
Isn't that where his mother lives?
ARES
Yes-
-but he must never get there. He's walking right
into a trap. Only you can stop him.
Why should you care what happens to Hercules?
ARES
You know what they say, blood is thicker than nectar.
XENA
I don't believe you. This is one of your tricks.
ARES
Xena! Frankly, I'm offended.
You gods sit up there on Mount Olympus and
think you can play with us mortals like we were
toys! Well, I'm no toy.
Ya got that?
GABRIELLE
Uh, it was-it was nice talkin' to you. We've gotta go.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't you think that he might've been telling the
truth for a change?
Sorry.
XENA
Ares has tried everything to draw me back into
his world of destruction. He's threatened me,
tempted me, framed me for a crime I didn't commit.
So, now he's trying the sincere approach. If Ares
doesn't want Hercules to go up to Thebes, then
it's probably the best place for Hercules to be.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phew! This is hot work! Whoa!
What are you complaining about? I'm the horse.
IOLAUS
I'm so hungry, I could eat that rotten fish.
HERCULES
Don't worry. When we're through, mother will fix
us one of her special...
What is it? What's wrong?
Come on!
HERCULES
Zeus!
Mother! Look out!
Mother!
No!
Mother!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hercules! Calm down!
HERCULES
How can I calm down when Zeus has kidnapped
my mother?!
IOLAUS
Well are you, are you sure he kidnapped her?
HERCULES
Are you crazy? You saw it!
IOLAUS
Yeah, but, well, she didn't look like she was putting
up much of a fight.
What do you mean by that?!
IOLAUS
Nothing! I...look, I know how you feel about Zeus,
but, I mean, after all, he is your father.
HERCULES
Don't remind me!
Sorry.
IOLAUS
Where are you going now?
HERCULES
To bring her back.
IOLAUS
You--you mean you're--you're--you're going to--to
Mount Olympus?
HERCULES
That's right. And don't try to stop me.
IOLAUS
Are you kidding?! I'm comin' with ya!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wow, Mount Olympus, the home of the gods.
How come you don't go there more often? I mean,
I know you hate that side of your family, but, after
all, Mount Olympus; it's gotta be fabulous.
APHRODITE
Yoo-hoo!
IOLAUS
Whoa! What the-
Oh, boys! Geronimo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!
Whoo-hoo!
Whe-e-e-e-e!
Hey, bro. Iolaus.
HERCULES
Hello, Aphrodite.
IOLAUS
Wow!
APHRODITE
Did you see that three-sixty? Not too shabby, huh?
Yeah, it was great. Listen, I don't really have time
to stand around discussing shell technique?
Uh, better close that thing, Iolaus. You're tongue's
getting all dusty. Hey, Hercules, hang on. Look,
I know you're bummed about your mom.
HERCULES
What do you care? I mean, she's not your mother.
APHRODITE
Look, you may think you're mad about Zeus taking
Alcmene, but-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-you've got nothing on Hera.
How dare he bring that floozy up here? Who does
he think he is? That...that...
All I asked you to do-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-was stop Hercules from being there when I
went to get his mother. A rather simple request,
I would've thought.
ARES
Yes, Father. See I asked this mortal to help me,
but I-
ZEUS
You asked a mortal to help you?! Who, may I ask?
ARES
Xena.
Xena? You'll use any excuse to get close to her,
won't you?
ARES
Father, you of all gods, must understand that,
well, some mortal women can just-
Enough! I doubt that there's anything you can tell
your father about mortal women. Leave us.
It is well for a mother to know where the loyalties
of her children lie.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess he told you.
ARES
Shut up, Artemis.
ARTEMIS
What is it with you and that Xena? She brings you
nothing but trouble.
ARES
One of these days, Xena will come through for
me. Just you wait and see.
You should live so long! Get it? You're an immortal?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
How could you do it? How could you bring a mortal
to this sacred place, especially that mortal?
ZEUS
I don't see that this is any of your concern.
HERA
Where is she? Where did you put her? In the
servants' quarters? Some plush chamber of her
very own? Or perhaps the trophy room?
ZEUS
Enough! Remember to whom you are speaking!
I am Zeus, King of the Gods!
King of the Gods! But for how long?
Come on, Hercules you heard her! It's crazy to go
up there if Hera's on the warpath! You know how
much she hates you!
HERCULES
Iolaus, it's very simple. My mother's there, and I
have to get her back. You don't have to come if
you don't want to.
True. (to Aphrodite) I could just, uh, hang out down
here with you, keep you from getting lonely.
As if!
Ow!
HERCULES
Be good, Iolaus. Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
IOLAUS
Ah, that's no fun. She's your sister.
So, Aphrodite, looks like it's just you and me.
Whoa!
APHRODITE
Ah, you mortals might have to put up with these
natural disasters, but I don't. Toodles!
The Chronos stone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hang on! I'll get you!
Hercules! It's closing!
EXTRA
Help!
Gabrielle! Look out!
Thanks.
Look at them.
XENA
Nothin' like a natural disaster to bring out the bad
guys. Come on.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think that belongs to the nice lady.
Back off, low-lives.
EXTRA
Make us.
XENA
If I must.
Xena! Look out!
Hang on, kid. I'll getcha.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabrielle! Look out!
Get outta my way!
Take that!
Help!
Gotcha!
Good work, Iolaus.
Uh-oh.
Let me pass in peace, little man. My quarrel is not
with mortals, but with the gods who imprisoned
me beneath the earth.
HERCULES
If I let you pass, do you pledge to leave the mortal
world alone, and take your fight to Mount Olympus?
You have my word.
HERCULES
Go.
Who's Mr. Big?
HERCULES
His name is Porphyrion. He's a Titan.
IOLAUS
A Titan?!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ha!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Huh?
Hmm. Ahh. Hmm. Hello.
No more stealing...or you'll wish he had squashed
you like a bug.
EXTRA
Y--yes, ma'am.
Xena, look!
The ancient prophecy has come true at last. The
Titans have escaped from their prison in Tartarus.
APHRODITE
Do you, do you think they'll come here?
ARES
Of course, they'll come here. They want revenge.
APHRODITE
But we will beat them, right?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I mean this prophecy, it does say we win in the end.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The source of our power is the Chronos stone,
which we won from them many years ago and
with which we could easily defeat them again.
But, as you can see, the Chronos stone is gone.
That evens the odds considerably.
Should be quite a battle.
A bit soon to celebrate, isn't it? Ya haven't even
met the Titans, yet.
ZEUS
Hera! Where's the Chronos stone? What have
you done with it?
HERA
Why suspect me? Perhaps your mortal took it. You
can't trust them, you know. What a predicament!
The Titans are coming, and no Chronos stone
to protect you. I have it! A champion of mortal blood
can defend you from the big, bad Titans. Doesn't
the prophecy say that? You could ask your son,
Hercules, to help you, if you hadn't just kidnapped
his mother.
ACT TWO
Thank you, Hercules.
HERCULES
There, everything seems to be under control, here.
I'd better get going.
APHRODITE
Ahh!
Whoa-a-a!
Whoa-a-a-a-a-a!
Thanks, bro.
HERCULES
I think you're losing your technique.
APHRODITE
Hercules, I know you're mad at Zeus and all, but
you gotta help us! The Titans are coming!
HERCULES
I know. I met one of them.
APHRODITE
You let him go?! But you gotta stop 'em down here,
before they reach Mount Olympus! Come on, be
our champion, please?
HERCULES
Sorry, if I fought the Titans here, innocent people
might get hurt. Besides. I'm not sure I'm on your side.
APHRODITE
Great. Thanks for nothin'.
So that's it? You're just gonna let the gods down?
HERCULES
They'll find their champion.
IOLAUS
Oh-oh, that's right. You're not the only hero on Earth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there nothing that Xena can't do?
ARES
Shh. What're you doing here?
ARTEMIS
I came to laugh at you. Don't you ever learn?
ARES
Ya have to admit, she's perfect for the job.
ARTEMIS
Yeah, but, she'll never do it.
ARES
If I explain to her what's at stake-
ARTEMIS
She'll think you're lying to her like you always do.
She'll denounce the gods like she always does.
She might even kick your butt while she's at it.
Should be fun to watch.
Yeah, you're right.
ARTEMIS
Here, I'll show you how to deal with a mortal.
How many more?
GABRIELLE
Quite a few. Word of your healing has gotten around.
Gabrielle? Are you all right?
GABRIELLE
Ahh. Mm-hmm. Of course, I--I...
No-o-o-o-o-o-o!
Gabrielle!
EXTRA
Sorcery!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, what?
ARTEMIS
We wait.
This is the hour of our rebirth! And we shall take
our vengeance on the gods of Olympus who
imprisoned us so long ago.
CRIUS
We'll blow 'em away, won't we, Mnemosyne?
We'll make them burn!
Cool off, you two. (to Porphyrion) I have waited
too many years, in the bowels of the Earth, to
waste time now. What is our plan?
PORPHYRION
Simple, we will attack Mount Olympus, regain
the sacred stone of our father, Chronos, and rule
the universe!
Is this the stone you seek?
Stand back.
While I have the stone, you are in my power.
Understand? You work for me. Don't fret. You
shall rule the universe, under my command.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gabrielle.
I'm so sorry. This is the work of the gods. It's aimed
at me, not you. If only I knew you could understand.
I'll make thinks right, Gabrielle, I promise.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shh. Hey, calm down. You can do it, I know you can.
Come on, Gabrielle, go for it.
Oh-h-h! I'm starting to think this wasn't such a good
idea-a-a-a-a-a! Ohhh! Fly, Gabrielle, fly!
Yes! Ya did it!
Mm-hmm. Huh?! Aphrodite, why aren't you ready
for battle?
APHRODITE
I'm sending out a calming aura to neutralize the
bad Titan vibes. And if that doesn't work, I plan to
hide in my shell.
ZEUS
Huh? Oh.
Shh. What's that?
Of all the tricks you've ever played on mortals this
was the lowest.
ARES
It wasn't me. She did it.
XENA
Just because I refuse to help in this plot against Hercules-
ARTEMIS
This has nothing to do with Hercules.
It's the Titans. If you help us defeat them, I'll turn
your friend back into a human.
And next time, try asking first.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ya hanging in there?
IOLAUS
Yeah, but I can see why the gods aren't bothered
by pesky drop-in guests!
Whoa! Not another Earthquake!
It's the Titans.
Whoa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!
Gabrielle!
Thanks.
You're not really welcome.
This is gonna be harder than I thought.
Oh, baby, that's what I like.
Hercules. It's about time.
HERCULES
Looks like the party started without me.
Ah!
HERCULES
Unfortunately, I can't stay.
But--but...
Aphrodite!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm going to crush your skull like an egg.
HERCULES
Sorry, no time.
Whoa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!
Whoa-a-a-a-a-a! I never thought I'd see you help
me out of a tangle.
ARES
Looks like you're havin' a bad hair day.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mother!
Oh! Huh?!
I have no fight with you. You let me go in peace.
I return the favour.
Hercules!
HERCULES
Iolaus, I have to get my mother to safety.
IOLAUS
Go ahead! I'm gonna stay and fight!
APHRODITE
Not me. I'm outta here.
Who-o-o-o-a-a-a!
No! Let me go!
Come back, you cowards!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run, my family, like the frightened little animals
you are. Yes, like frightened little animals.
You have chosen the wrong side on which to
fight today.
XENA
It ain't over 'til it's over, big boy.
You mean to tell me, you didn't even lift a finger
to help?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I--I...look-- I--I climbed Mount Olympus. I--I rescued
you from Zeus. What do you want from me?
ALCMENE
Did you ever think to ask if I wanted to be rescued?
Open up! It's me, Zeus!
Where--where are you?
ZEUS
Down here!
Zeus, what happened to you?
ZEUS
Hera.
Hey, lady!
Lemme in!
HERCULES
Uh, Ares?
ARES
Just watchit. Don't make me ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-d.
Uh, I think I'm allergic to rabbit fur.
APHRODITE
Mo-o-o-o-o-ove!
Uh, this is so gross. I don't even eat red meat
and now I am red meat.
What are you laughing at?! This is all your fault!
ARES
Yeah, why didn't you pitch in up there?
ARTEMIS
Now the Titans rule the universe. Who knows
what misery they'll cause.
HERCULES
They couldn't do much worse than you have, now,
could they?
Is this really how people live down here?
APHRODITE
Uh, pathetic.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mother, would you wait?!
Oh, Iolaus! I knew you'd make it!
IOLAUS
Yeah, huh.
What? What? I couldn't stay. I had to get my mom.
I...Xena, I-
XENA
Forget it!
Oh, and say hello to Gabrielle.
HERCULES
Huh?! Gabrielle?
XENA
Oh, maybe you didn't recognize her - thanks to
your family.
Hey meet the former gods of Olympus.
XENA
Which one of you animals is Artemis?
Uh, that would be me.
Why, Mother? Why would you go with Zeus, after
the way he's treated us all these years? I mean,
he's never been there for us, not once. I mean,
what could he possibly have to offer you?
Life.
HERCULES
What?
ALCMENE
I know. I know, I should've told you. I've been ill for
quite some time. I didn't realize how ill until a
recent visit to the Oracle. I didn't know what to do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then, one day, Zeus appeared.
He knew. And he made me an offer which would
make up for all his years of neglect.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
He would take me to Mount Olympus, where I
would become an immortal. It was the hardest
decision I ever had to make. To lose my life, or
risk losing you from my life.
HERCULES
Why didn't you tell me?
ALCMENE
I knew you'd try to stop me. You've always hated
your father so.
As long as you're happy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do you mean, you can't change her back?
ARTEMIS
If I could change her, do you think I'd stay
a bunny rabbit?
Not that I don't, uh, sympathize, believe me, but,
hey, these things happen. Ooh, what do birds your
size eat, anyway?
Oh, I was afraid of that.
It's the Chronos stone. As long as the Titans
control Mount Olympus, they have the stone, and
we have no powers.
APHRODITE
Yeah, we're stuck down here-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-while Hera lives it up on Mount Olympus with
the Titans.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(singing) We're the Titans; we're the best.
We're bigger and we're smarter than the rest.
And after all the years we were repressed,
We're the Titans; we're the best.
CRIUS
(singing) We romped on them; we stomped on them,
We blew them to their knees.
MNEMOSYNE
Can we boast?
TETHYS
(singing) We drowned them and we pounded them,
PORPHYRION
(singing) And squashed them all like fleas.
MNEMOSYNE
Now they're toast.
TITANS
(singing) We're the Titans; we are strong.
We knew that we could beat them all along.
They thought that they could win,
but they were wrong, wrong, wrong.
We're the Titans; we are strong.
Boom, Shaka-laka-laka,
Boom, Shaka-laka-laka,
Boom, Boom.
CRIUS
Oh, yeah.
TITANS
(singing) Boom, Shaka-laka-laka,
Boom, Shaka-laka-laka,
Boom Boom.
We're the Titans; we're the worst.
We're meaner and we're so much more perversed.
Zeus had all the luck, but now is cursed,
'Cause we're the Titans; we're the worst
TETHYS and MNEMOSYNE
(singing) We trounced them and we bounced them,
And we pushed them off the edge into the void.
CRIUS
What's a void?
PORPHYRION
(singing) And once the Chronos stone is truly mine-
TETHYS
It's mine.
PORPHYRION
(singing) The world will be destroyed.
HERA
I'm getting annoyed.
TITANS
(singing) We're the Titans; we rule the day.
We'll make the gods and little humans pay.
PORPHYRION
(singing) We'll bury them beneath our feet of clay.
TITANS
(singing) We're the Titans; we're okay.
Boom, Shaka-laka-laka,
Boom, Shaka-laka-laka,
Boom, Boom.
CRIUS
Boom, Boom!
TITANS
(singing) Boom, Shaka-laka-laka,
Boom, Shaka-laka-laka,
Boom, Boom.
CRIUS
Boom, Boom!
TITANS
(singing) Boom, Shaka-laka-laka,
Boom, Shaka-laka-laka,
Boom, Boom.
HERA
Quiet! I can't even hear myself gloat. Just look at
this place! It's a disaster! I had forgotten just how
stupid you Titans were. You belong down in Tartarus!
Sorry.
To think I have an eternity of this to look forward to.
Is that old hag going to boss us around forever?
PORPHYRION
No, not forever. In fact, not much longer.
END OF ACT TWO
ACT THREE
Gabrielle, this is terrible. I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.
This is a fine mess we're in. I don't know what
to do.
(singing) I went and let the bad guys win.
Look what they did to you.
I thought I was a warrior. Still, I failed somehow.
So tell me, what do I do now?
(singing) I thought if I did my best, I'd never make mistakes.
I'd always win the battle, no matter what it takes.
I'd keep my friends from danger. That's my sacred vow.
So tell me, what do I do now?
Hear me, silver sister moon, shinin' in the blue,
Had I wings to fly away, I would fly to you.
But that's not what warriors do.
(singing) Maybe there's more to bein' human,
than actin' brave and strong.
Maybe it's list'ning' to your heart,
and knowin' when you're wrong.
It's keepin' the faith and trustin'
you'll come through, somehow.
And maybe, that's what I'll do now.
(singing) I believe we'll come through, me and you.
(singing) That's what we'll do now.
Oh, hi.
HERCULES
So, you're, talking to me, now?
I had no right to blame you for what's happened
to Gabrielle. If I hadn't been so...
HERCULES
We've both made some mistakes, lately. The
question is, what're we gonna do about it, now?
This is all Hercules' fault.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Dear, you know as well as I, that Hera would
never have revived the Titans if you hadn't brought
me to Mount Olympus.
ZEUS
Well, uh-
ALCMENE
And if we had been frank with our son, he might
have been there at your side when you needed him.
APHRODITE
She's right, you know? He's always been there
for me, before.
IOLAUS
Yeah, for me, too.
ZEUS
So, in other words, I'm to blame.
No, not really, but it was good of you to say it.
XENA
Hey, why is everyone looking so gloomy? You think
we're gonna take this lying down?
APHRODITE
I would, if I could figure out how to get back up.
HERCULES
Xena and I were talking. The thought of my mother
spending the rest of her life, surrounded by a
bunch of whining farm animals who think they
should be ruling the universe-
APHRODITE
P-p-p-p-p-t-h-h-h-h-h.
XENA
And Gabrielle staying the way she is.
HERCULES
These aren't situations we're prepared just to sit
back and accept.
XENA
So, we've decided...to attack Mount Olympus.
Why not? The Titans took it from you. We'll just
go up there and take it back from them.
ZEUS
You've forgotten one thing. The Chronos stone.
As long as Hera and the Titans control it, we have
no powers.
HERCULES
Well, I don't mean to be insulting, but, you didn't
do so hot when you had powers, did you?
APHRODITE, ARES and ARTEMIS
O-o-o-o-o.
ZEUS
Son, I mean it. If you go back to Mount Olympus,
there's a good chance you won't come down alive.
HERCULES
It's a chance I'm willing to take...father.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disgusting! And you want to rule over all creation? Hah.
Well, coming back to play, are we? Let's make
things a bit more interesting this time and teach
these buffoons a lesson.
Hey! I feel pain! I tingle! Strange! Hold it! Stop it!
No!
Now, Hercules and his little friends won't stand
a chance.
PORPHYRION
Give me the stone!
Get away, you lummox! Go defend your new empire!
We have the power, now!
What are you doing?! What are you doing?!
Uh-oh.
Is it just me, or have these guys gotten even uglier?
HERCULES
Well, one thing's for sure, they haven't gotten
any nicer.
Ow! Ah! Ah! Aw!
You know? This could go on forever.
Got any bright ideas?
Now that you mention it, I do have a thought.
Keep them busy!
Throw them over the side!
It's no good. He draws his power from the earth,
and every time he goes down, he gets stronger.
IOLAUS
Yeah. What can we do?
I've got an idea. Come on.
You should've quit when you were ahead, little man.
XENA
Grab him!
I never quit!
Now! Drop him!
Hercules!
Climb, Gabrielle, climb! Back to Olympus! Hurry!
Whew.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmm. Hmm!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, nice job with that monster.
HERCULES
You didn't do so badly yourself.
Oh. Oh.
Mm-hmm.
Gabrielle, can you ever forgive me?
There's nothin' to forgive. I knew you'd come
through for me.
I sort of enjoyed the flying part.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hmm, it was fun while it lasted. Huh!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
He's--he's here. I will miss you every day.
Just remember, I'll be watching over you.
Son, uh, you know you're always welcome at
my, uh-
HERCULES
Yeah, I know.
She'll be okay. He does care for her.
So, where are you headed?
XENA
Corinth. I still have a bag of gold to return.
HERCULES
Maybe, we could walk along with you for a while.
IOLAUS
Sure.
GABRIELLE
That'd be great.
And along the way, you can teach me that great
kick you did up there against Porphyrion.
XENA
Sure, if you'll teach me how to flip a Titan.
HERCULES
I would love to, but it's a family secret.
XENA
Uh-huh.
