A scene from Hercules 1997
Amphitryon

[Resolve to country with sheeps baaing. A carriage with a lot of hay moves along the road unnaturally fast, then we see Amphitryon and his mule sitting before it]

Hercules, slow down! Look out!

Young Hercules

[Workers jump out of the way]

Oops! S-s-sorry guys!

Worker 1

Hey, watch where you're goin'!

Worker 2

Sunday driver!

Young Hercules

[enters the middle of the square and stops]

Amphitryon

Thanks, son. When old Penelope twisted her ankle back there, I thought we were done for.

Young Hercules

[picks up the haystack]

No problem, Pop.

Amphitryon

Uh, don't-don't-don't unload just yet. First I have to finagle with Phideas.

Hercules

Okay. [drops the hay on the cart which makes Penelope fly up into the sky] Oops, sorry, Penelope.

Amphitryon

Now, Hercules, this time, please just—

Young Hercules

I know, I know. [catches Penelope] Stay by the cart.

Amphitryon

That's my boy.

Young Hercules

[stays until he sees a man losing balance with a big clay pot]

Demetrius

Oh, my goodness. Whoa!

Young Hercules

[catches him just in time]

Careful!

Demetrius

[sighs in relief]

Why, thank you.

Young Hercules

No problem.

Demetrius

Why, Hercules. It's you.

Young Hercules

Let me, let me help you with that.

Demetrius

No, no, no, no, no, I got it. I'm fine, you just run along.

Young Hercules

You sure?

Demetrius

Oh, yes. Absolutely.

Ithicles

[A frisbee falls to his feet]

Yo! Give it here! [gasps]

Young Hercules

Hey, you need an extra guy?

Ithicles

Uh.. sorry, Herc. We already got... 5. And we want to keep it an even number.

Young Hercules

Hey, wait a second. Five isn't an even—

Ithicles

See ya, Herc.

Teenage boy

What a geek!

Teenage boy 2

Destructo boy.

Ithicles

Maybe we should call him "Jerkules".

Teenage boys

[laughing]

Ithicles

Heads up!

Young Hercules

I-I got it! [hits a pillar, which starts falling] Uh-oh.. Oh no!.. It's okay.. [the pillar starts falling one by one, like domino. He sees that and accidentally throws the pillar he was holding away, but it hits another standing pillar and another domino wave starts going around the square] Hey! Whoa!

Amphitryon

Son!

Young Hercules

Hang on, Pop! Be right back!

Demetrius

[The two domino waves seem to be aiming at the shop with clay pots]

Oh my! Oh no! Don't! Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Demetrius

[The last two pillars stop above the man's head] [sighs]

Young Hercules

[running to save him, slips and slides to him fast]

Watch out!

Demetrius

[screaming]

Ithicles

[The town square is now destroyed]

Nice catch, Jerkules.

Amphitryon

Son-

Demetrius

This is the last straw, Amphitryon!

Woman

That boy is a menace!

Man

He's too dangerous to be around normal people!

Townsfolk

[agree]

Amphitryon

He didn't mean any harm, he's just a kid. He just can't control his strength.

Demetrius

I am warning you. You keep that-that-that... freak away from here!

Teenage boy

Freak! Yeah, go away!
