Hercules quotes
Page 1 of 7'I have often dreamed, of a far-off place, where a hero's welcome will be waiting for me.
Where the crowds will cheer, when they see my face, and a voice keeps saying "This is where I'm meant to be...!"
I'll be there someday, I can go the distance, I will find my way, If I can be strong.
I know every mile, will be worth my while.
When I go the distance, I'll be right where I...belong.'
'Down an unknown road, to embrace my fate.
Though the road may wander, it will lead me to you.
And a thousand years would be worth the wait.
It might take a lifetime, but somehow I'll see it through.'
'And I won't look back, I can go the distance.
And I'll stay on track. No, I won't accept defeat.
It's an uphill slope, but I won't lose hope.
Till I go the distance and my journey is...complete.
Oh, Yeah!
But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part, for a hero's strength is measured by his heart...
Like a shooting star, I will go the distance.
I will search the world, I will face its harms.
I don't care how far, I can go the distance.
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in...
Your arms.
'I will search the world, I will face its harms...
Till I find my hero's welcome, waiting in...
'Your arms.

If there is one god who don't want to get steamed up, it's Hades.
'Cause he had an evil plan.
[singing]
He ran the underworld,
But thought the dead were dull and uncouth
He was as mean as he was ruthless
And that's the gospel truth
He had a plan to shake things up
And that's the gospel truth!
Ladies! Hah. I am so sorry that I'm...
Fate 1, Fate 2, Fate 3: Late.
Fate 1
We knew you would be.
Fate 2
We know everything.
Fate 1
Past.
Fate 2
Present.
Fate 3
And future. [aside, to Panic] Indoor plumbing. It's gonna be big.
Meg, my little flower, my little bird, my little nut Meg. What exactly happened here? I thought you were gonna persuade the River Guardian to join my team for the uprising, and now here I am, kind of River Guardian-less.
I gave it my best shot, but me made me an offer I had to refuse.
So you took care of him, huh? Dead as a doornail. Weren't those your exact words?
This might be a different Hercules.
Yeah! I mean, Hercules is a very popular name nowadays!
Remember, like, a few years ago, every other boy was named Jason, and the girls were all named Brittany?!
Aren't you, a damsel in distress?
I'm a damsel. I'm in distress. I can handle this. Have a nice day.
Meg, when I'm with you, I-I don't feel so alone.
Sometimes it's better to be alone.
What do you mean?
Nobody can hurt you.
People are... are gonna get hurt, aren't they?
Nah! I mean, it's, you know, it's a possibility. It happens 'cause, you know, it's war, but what can I tell ya. Anyway, what do you owe these people, huh?
You like making deals. Take me in Meg's place.
Oh, hmph. The son of my hated rival trapped forever in a river of death.
Going once!
Hmm? Is there a downside to this?
Going twice!
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay! You get her out. She goes, you stay.
[Hercules dives in to save Meg]
Oh, you know what slipped my mind? You'll be dead before you can get to her. That's not a problem, is it?
Fabulous party. You know, I haven't seen this much love in a room since Narcissus discovered himself.
From that day forward, our boy Hercules could do no wrong. He was so hot, steam looked cool.

"All we need now is a plague of locusts." (locust croaks) "That's it. I'm moving to Sparta!"
Uh, Hephaestus has been captured, my lord. Everyone's been captured. (Pain and Panic grab him) Ah! I've been captured! Hey, watch the glasses.
Boy
Nice goin', Jerk-ules.
Boy
Call I X I I!!!
Hercules, look out! [shoves him aside, the pillar falling on top of her]
Meg! NOOOOOOO!!!!
[rushes over and begins to lift the pillar off of her, his strength suddenly returning as he holds it over his head]
What's happening?
H-hades deal is broken... (gasps in pain)He promised I wouldn't get hurt...
People always do crazy things...(groans)when they're in love.
M-Meg... I...
Meg [wryly]: Are you... always this articulate?
Is Wonderboy here for real?
What are you talkin' about? Of course he's real. Whoa! And by the way, sweet-cheeks, I'm real too.
Narrator
Long ago, in the far away land of ancient Greece, there was a golden age of powerful gods and extrodinay heroes. And the greatest and strongest of all these heroes... was the mighty Hercules. But what is the measure of a true hero? Now that is where our story--
Muse
Would you listen to him?!
Muse 2
He's making the story sound like some Greek tradgedy!
Muse 3
Lighten up, dude!
Muse 4
We'll take it from here, darling.
Narrator
You go, girls.
He's not gonna be happy when he gets outta there.
You mean if he gets out of there.
If? "If" is good.
