[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... (groan) when they're in love.

Please. Help! Please! There's been a terrible accident.
Megara
[Hercules walks to the Cyclops]
What are you doing?! Without your strength you'll be killed!

You're really choked up about this, aren't you?

Then read my lips! Forget it.
Scenes with Megara
6 scenes[seeing Hercules hiding from fans behind a curtain]
Let's see. What could be behind curtain number one?
Hera
Hercules, oh...! [starts sobbing]
Nessus
(Thunder starts raging in Mount Olympus) [Hercules goes to stop Nessus the centaur from manhandling Meg] [looms over him]
Step aside, two-legs.
Keep moving, junior.
...lady. But... aren't you... a damsel in distress?
[struggling in Nessus' grip]
I'm a damsel... Ugh! I'm in distress. I can handle this. Have a nice day.
Look, it wasn't my fault, it was this wonder-boy Hercules!
[Hades freezes in shock; Pain and Panic look nervous]
Hercules... oh... why does that name ring a bell?
I dunno... maybe we owe him money?
What... was that name... again?
Hercules.
[continuing seemingly without noticing Hades]
He comes on with this big 'innocent farmboy' routine, but I could see through that in a Peloponnesian minute.
Wait a minute. Wasn't Hercules the name of that kid we were supposed to--?
Both
(They both spot Hades reaching for them)
OH, MY GODS!
Run for it!
(grabs them)
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... [Hades chokes him] very popular name nowadays!
"Remember like a few years ago - every other boy was named Jason and the girls were all named Britney?!"
I'm about to re-arrange the cosmos... and the one schlemiel... who can louse it up... is waltzing around... IN THE WOODS! [literally explodes with rage]
Mmm.
and then that, that play, that, that Oedipus thing. Man! I thought I had problems.
[Both chuckle and such, two little birds sitting near turn into Pain and Panic to speak to Meg]
Psst! Stop foolin' around!
Yeah. Get the goods, sister.
[Hercules turns back and they turn into birst and tweet innocently]
I didn't know that playing hooky could be so much fun.
Yeah. Neither did I.
Thanks, Meg.
Oh.. Don't that me just yet. Oh! [She falls into Hercules' arms]
Oops, careful.
Sorry. Weak ankles.
Oh, yeah? Well, maybe you better sit down for a while. [carries her on a bench and they sit down]
So, uh, do you have any problems with things like.. this? [She stretched her leg and holds her foot right before Hercules' face]
Uh.....
Weak ankles, I mean.
Oh. Uh, no. Not really.
Uh—
No. I'm I'm afraid I'm, uh.. fit as a fiddle. [He finally stands up from the bench]
Wonderboy, you are perfect.
Thanks. [He sends a coin jumping on a water in a fountain and it breaks the arms off the statue of Venus] Whoops.
It looks better that way. No, it really does.
You know, when I was a kid I, I would have given anything to be exactly like everybody else.
You wanted to be petty and dishonest?
Everybody's not like that.
Yes, they are.
You're not like that
How do you know what I'm like?
All I know is.. You're the most amazing person with... weak ankles I've ever met. [Meg steps back and gets pricked on an arrow of a tiny statue of Amur] 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.
Meg? I would never ever hurt you.
And I don't wanna hurt you, so... let's both do ourselves a favor and.. stop this... um.. before... we--
[Their lips met for the kiss, but the moment before it happens bright light flashes into their eyes. It is Phil, on Pegasus, impersonating police helicopter]
All right! Break it up! Break it up! Party's over! I been lookin' all over this town!
Calm down, mutton man! It was all my fault.
You're already on my list, sister, so don't make it worse
[Pegasus snorts at Meg, she snorts back, turning the light off]
And as for you, ya bum, you're gonna go to the stadium and you're gonna be put through the workout of your life! Now get on the horse.
Okay, okay.
I'm sorry.
Ah, he'll get over it.
[He bends a huge tree casually and picks a flower off it, gives it to Meg and kisses her in the cheek]
Move! Move, move, move, move, move! Move! [on Pegasus] Whoo! Ya-eee! Hey, watch it, watch it! Whoo! Watch it! Keep your goo-goo eyes on the- [A branch finally hits Phil and he falls on the ground] That's it. Next time, I drive.
[Meg sits alone and smells the flower]
Oh. what's the matter with me? You'd think a girl would learn. [singing] If there's a prize for rotten judgement. I guess I've already won that. No man is worth the aggravation. That's ancient history been there, done that!
Who d'ya think you're kidding? He's the Earth and Heaven to you. Try to keep it hidden, honey, We can see right through you
Oh, No
Girl, you can't conceal it. We know how you feel and who you're thinkin' of?
Oh-no, no chance, no way, I won't say it, no, no
You swoon, you sigh, why deny it, uh-oh?
It's too cliche, I won't say I'm in love
Shoo-doo, shoo-doo, oo-oo-oo
I thought my heart had learned its lesson. It feels so good when you start out...
Ahhh..
My head is screaming get a grip, girl. Unless you're dyin' to cry your heart, oh
You keep on denying. Who you are and how you're feelin'. Baby, we're not buyin' hon, We saw you hit the ceilin'. Face it like a grownup. When you gonna own up that you. Got Got Got it bad
Oh, no chance, no way, I won't say it, no, no
Give up, but give in, Check the grin, you're in love
This scene won't play, I won't say I'm in love
You're doing flips, read our lips. You're in love shoo-doo, shoo-doo
You're way off base, I won't say it (Muses: She won't say in love) Get off my case, I won't say it
Girl, don't be proud, it's okay, you're in love
Oh.. At least at loud. I won't say I'm in love...
Shoo-doo, shoo-doo, shoo-doo, shoo-doo Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la Haaa
[At outside, Hercules brings the soul of Meg and puts it inside her body]
Wonderboy, what-- why did you—
Huh. People always do crazy things when they are in love.
[they go for a kiss, but suddenly a cloud appears under their feet, sent by Zeus, and they fly to Olympus]
Whoa! Hey, hey, hey! Whoo! [Pegasus picks him up and brings along]
Apollo
[The crowd of gods welcome Hercules]
Three cheers for the mighty Hercules!
Oh, yeah! Flowers for everybody! Oh!
Hera
Hercules, we're so proud of you.
Mother.
Hah! Fine work, my boy! You've done it! You're a true hero.
Hera
You were willing to give your life to rescue this young woman.
For a true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart. Now, at last, my son, you can come home.
Congratulations, Wonderboy. You'll make one heck of a god.
Father, this is the moment I've always dreamed of. But... a life without Meg, even an immortal life, would be... empty. I wish to stay on Earth with her. I finally know where I belong.
