[first lines]
Iolaus: [narrating] You think you know the truth about him? You know nothing. His father was Zeus. The Zeus. King of the gods. His mother, Alcmene, a mortal woman. Together, they had a boy. Half human, half god. But Zeus' queen, Hera, saw this bastard child as an insult, a living reminder of her husband's infidelity. Alcmene named the boy Hercules, which means glory of Hera, but this failed to appease the goddess. She wanted him dead. Luckily, he took after his father. Once he reached manhood, the gods commanded him to perform Twelve Labors, twelve dangerous missions. If he completed them all and survived, Hera agreed to finally let him live in peace. He fought the Lernean Hydra! He battled the Erymanthean Boar! [Hercules strikes the Erymanthean Boar face-down] But his greatest Labor was the Nemean Lion. This was no ordinary beast. It had a hide so tough, no weapon could penetrate it. But even this monster was no match for the son of Zeus...
Gryza: What a load of crap!
Iolaus: Every word is true!
Gryza: You know what I think? This friend of yours doesn't even exist.
Iolaus: Laugh all you want. He's coming, and be warned, Gryza, he despises pirates.
Gryza: Macedonia has been good to us, plenty of villages ripe for pillaging. We are here to stay. [to a pirate] Finish him.
Pirate: [puts the torch on the rope holding Iolaus] The more you struggle, the faster you drop.
Iolaus: Indeed, your fleet is strong. I... [notices a figure approaching] Yet, as I was about to explain before I was so rudely interrupted, the Nemean Lion was strong, too. Yet, he still destroyed it, and not with a sword or a spear or arrows. No!
Hercules: [reveals himself] I did it with my bare hands! Or so they say.
Gryza: Hercules...
Hercules: Is this all the men you have?
Gryza: There's 40 of us, one of you!
Hercules: The king of this land has offered me gold to dispose of you! So leave or die. I get paid either way.
Gryza: Make him bleed. [five men charge but Hercules knocks them out at once]
Iolaus: Ha! Five men with a single blow! Still think you can destroy the son of Zeus?
Gryza: BRING ME HIS HEAD!
