Hercules in New York

en
00:00:13 Far in the dim past. . .
00:00:15 when myth and history
00:00:19 and the gods of fable
00:00:23 dwelt on ancient
00:00:26 in antique Greece
00:00:28 a legendary hero walked
00:00:32 sometimes.
00:00:34 Man: Why can't I go?
00:00:35 Because your place
00:00:38 - You let Mars travel.
00:00:40 U ntil mankind learns to dispense
00:00:44 and lives in peace,
00:00:47 I only want
00:00:50 You'd only get into trouble.
00:00:52 I have been here
00:00:54 - I am bored.
00:00:59 Besides. . .
00:01:00 these mortals are
00:01:03 as aggravating a collection
00:01:05 as it is possible for one
00:01:08 It may not be entirely
00:01:11 - but you wouldn't like it there.
00:01:14 I am tired of the same old faces,
00:01:18 Tired or not,
00:03:23 Woman: Zeus, I beg of you,
00:03:26 Hercules is only hotheaded.
00:03:28 He does not mean to oppose
00:03:31 Mind your own business,
00:03:33 He has grown insufferable.
00:03:35 I will not be bearded to my face
00:03:38 He's only a demigod.
00:03:40 He gives himself airs
00:03:43 My mother may have been a mortal,
00:03:47 are a god.
00:03:48 I will discuss this
00:03:51 Does this mean I have
00:03:53 It means you will stay.
00:03:54 I don't wish to hear
00:03:57 I won't stay.
00:03:58 You are trying my patience,
00:04:01 - You are trying mine.
00:04:06 Nobody will stop me.
00:04:08 How dare you address
00:04:10 It's easy.
00:04:12 Why you offensive puppy!
00:04:16 Perhaps this will teach you
00:04:21 Venus: Zeus,
00:04:23 - He may be killed.
00:04:26 Save him.
00:04:27 Hercules is your son.
00:04:32 If I had known how much trouble
00:04:35 I'd have thought twice when I met
00:04:51 Aahh!
00:04:54 - Tell me what's wrong.
00:04:58 Yes, my dear, that's not unusual.
00:05:02 No, outside!
00:05:05 - He was flying.
00:05:07 Yes, he just passed my window.
00:05:09 Stewardess!
00:05:12 And he was. . .
00:05:14 And he was just going down,
00:05:17 - And he. . .
00:05:19 No man,
00:05:21 could possibly be flying
00:05:24 Oh, he was very handsome.
00:05:26 And he had big muscles.
00:05:28 And he was practically naked.
00:05:31 Oh, dear.
00:05:32 I shouldn't have taken Agatha
00:05:36 She's so impressionable.
00:05:40 We throw ourselves
00:05:42 Woman: Get up,
00:05:44 Let Hercules suffer the consequences
00:05:48 J uno has hated Hercules
00:05:52 All right! Do not be
00:05:56 Let us see what
00:05:58 ( claps hands )
00:06:02 He's in the sea now.
00:06:05 Save him, Great Zeus.
00:06:07 It will take more than Neptune
00:06:09 - to overcome a son of Zeus.
00:06:12 Save Hercules!
00:06:13 All right, all right.
00:06:16 I have done so.
00:06:18 Behold, coming over
00:06:27 ( ship's horn blows )
00:06:33 What were you doing
00:06:35 - Swimming.
00:06:38 I fell.
00:06:40 - Fell?
00:06:41 How did that happen?
00:06:43 - There was an explosion.
00:06:46 - What ship?
00:06:47 From which you
00:06:49 Olympus.
00:06:50 There's a Greek freighter
00:06:54 - What's your name?
00:06:56 - Greek, huh?
00:07:00 Sir?
00:07:01 It's all right,
00:07:03 You're addressing the captain
00:07:05 - I am Hercules.
00:07:07 No man is superior
00:07:09 Begging the captain's
00:07:11 but an immersion in the water
00:07:15 H uh.
00:07:17 - What's your berth?
00:07:20 I'm referring to your rating,
00:07:22 What's your rating
00:07:28 What's your second name?
00:07:30 As I have told you,
00:07:33 I don't think he means
00:07:36 He probably loses it
00:07:38 All right, sign him on
00:07:40 since that's his father name,
00:07:43 Aye, aye, sir.
00:07:44 Get him what clothes
00:07:47 Come with me.
00:07:55 - Where's this ship bound for?
00:08:10 Carstairs!
00:08:25 Carstairs!
00:08:28 Stop that fight!
00:08:38 Okay, I'm with you, boy.
00:08:41 Oh no, you don't. No, no.
00:08:44 Bosun,
00:08:50 Well, he refused to work, sir.
00:08:52 And when I tried
00:08:56 He's a foreigner.
00:08:58 Perhaps he didn't
00:09:00 I understood him.
00:09:02 He's most disagreeable
00:09:36 - Where do you think you're going?
00:09:38 - The captain give you permission?
00:09:42 Not on this ship, you don't.
00:09:44 Get yours!
00:09:51 Yo, Hercules!
00:09:57 Stop him!
00:09:58 Get him!
00:09:59 Alex!
00:10:04 Hey, you guys!
00:10:05 20 bucks for the first man
00:10:18 Man: Come on! Come on!
00:10:34 Oooh!
00:10:41 Come on, push him.
00:10:48 Come on!
00:11:07 Come on, push it!
00:11:25 Come on, let's get him!
00:11:42 You'd better get out of here.
00:11:44 Come on,
00:11:49 Here!
00:11:52 Go ahead!
00:12:05 What's the matter with you?!
00:12:12 Fine chariot,
00:12:15 Let go of that!
00:12:17 Hey, let go of that!
00:12:42 Where to?
00:12:44 Uptown.
00:12:49 Boy, that was close.
00:12:50 What was close?
00:12:52 They almost nailed you!
00:12:54 What did you do?
00:12:56 No, I walked off.
00:12:58 You walked off.
00:13:00 - What's your name?
00:13:02 Oh. Mine is Pretzi.
00:13:04 They call me Pretzi,
00:13:07 I sell pretzels
00:13:10 - Where you from?
00:13:12 Oh! I used to know
00:13:14 He ran a beanery
00:13:17 His name was Apollo.
00:13:19 I never found out
00:13:21 - I know Apollo.
00:13:23 Well, is this a small world?
00:13:28 I wonder where Apollo is now.
00:13:30 I haven't seen him
00:13:32 - He's back home.
00:13:34 He was all the time talking about
00:13:38 So he finally went home.
00:13:40 He was a real nice guy.
00:13:41 Conceited. He thinks there's
00:13:45 Handsome? Apollo?
00:13:47 You must be kidding.
00:13:50 Handsome? With that big black
00:13:54 And those
00:13:56 ( laughing )
00:13:58 He must have been in disguise.
00:14:00 I wonder if Apollo
00:14:02 He was all the time
00:14:05 Maybe that's why he went home,
00:14:08 Diana and Terpsichore
00:14:11 I think Hebe is attracted, too.
00:14:14 No kidding.
00:14:15 It shows you how desperate
00:14:18 That is really amazing.
00:14:20 You hungry?
00:14:22 Here, here.
00:14:24 Go ahead, help yourself.
00:14:25 - I'm grateful.
00:14:30 Good, huh?
00:14:32 Food for the gods.
00:14:33 Well, I get them
00:14:36 called
00:14:39 Where you guys wanna go?
00:14:43 Hey, what do you know?
00:14:46 This is good enough.
00:14:48 It's fine.
00:14:57 Here we are
00:15:00 I'll go get my bag.
00:15:02 - That'll be two bucks.
00:15:06 Bigger than Athens.
00:15:09 Bigger than Rome.
00:15:11 Bigger than Carthage.
00:15:12 I'd say New York is the biggest
00:15:14 - Pay the cabbie.
00:15:17 - What?
00:15:20 Bucks?
00:15:22 The bread, the shekels,
00:15:24 you know, the long green,
00:15:27 He wants to be paid for driving
00:15:30 That's the idea, mack.
00:15:32 My name is Hercules.
00:15:33 Hercules, Schmurcules,
00:15:37 Bucks? Doe? What's all this talk
00:15:43 This guy got all his marbles?
00:15:45 He's just come over
00:15:47 Look, Herc, it's money.
00:15:49 You know, drachmas.
00:15:51 Money?
00:15:52 I don't have any money.
00:15:54 You don't have any money?
00:15:57 Holy moley.
00:15:59 Hercules doesn't need
00:16:02 What?
00:16:03 That's the stupidest thing
00:16:06 A couple of deadbeats, huh?
00:16:08 Pretzi: Look, buddy,
00:16:10 There's been a little mistake.
00:16:12 Well, now,
00:16:15 A mistake.
00:16:17 Well, what do you know. . .
00:16:19 a mistake.
00:16:20 Last time, you gonna give up
00:16:23 Isn't it enough since Hercules
00:16:26 You've been immortalized.
00:16:27 I've been who?
00:16:29 You heard him,
00:16:31 - Driver: Are you nuts?
00:16:34 - It's like this--
00:16:37 Well, you see. . .
00:16:39 Okay, call the cops.
00:16:41 Not before I have some fun
00:16:44 - Run, Herc!
00:16:46 How dare you
00:18:01 Brad says we've got the best
00:18:05 a cinch to win first place
00:18:08 I should hope so.
00:18:09 I know Rod, for one,
00:18:12 even to the point
00:18:15 I don't mind, Dad.
00:18:18 I'm sure he will,
00:18:20 You know what pleases me most,
00:18:23 J udging from their classroom work,
00:18:26 as well as brawn.
00:18:39 How are those men
00:18:40 They're just athletes
00:18:42 - Athletes?
00:18:44 Hmmph. . .
00:18:45 What do you mean?
00:18:48 ( snorts )
00:18:49 What do you mean?
00:18:52 Ha!
00:18:53 - Nobody can beat them.
00:18:55 Wait!
00:18:57 - Over there.
00:18:59 To show them how
00:19:01 No, no.
00:19:04 You can't go
00:19:06 They would not like me
00:19:08 No, it's just for college guys.
00:19:11 I am Hercules.
00:19:18 Put that discus down!
00:19:21 Those men do not throw it
00:19:24 - You don't say.
00:19:28 - What is it, Helen?
00:19:30 the coach seems to be
00:19:33 These boys are

00:19:56 Well,

00:20:32 What else do you do?

00:22:16 All right, Mister.
00:22:20 Certainly,
00:22:22 Wish you?
00:22:53 - I beg your pardon?
00:22:56 - Did I do something wrong?
00:22:58 - How do you do?
00:23:02 Here's our card.
00:23:04 I wonder if you'd
00:23:05 Sure, spill it.
00:23:07 Have tea
00:23:08 Shh! Not so loud!
00:23:10 You never know when one of them
00:23:14 Tea, the conventional
00:23:16 You mean the drinking stuff?
00:23:18 Of course! What else?
00:23:20 Wait a minute.
00:23:21 You want to get together
00:23:24 Do you find that
00:23:26 Well, no, but eh. . .
00:23:28 it's just that nobody's ever invited
00:23:32 Well, around 4:00, then.
00:23:34 Hm?
00:23:35 Great.
00:23:36 And bring your friend along.
00:23:42 Hey, Herc!
00:23:44 ( doorbell rings )
00:23:52 Please go into the library.
00:23:54 I'll tell the professor
00:24:28 Hercules: Ha, ha.
00:24:32 It's a funny one.
00:24:34 I must tell him about this.
00:24:36 Yeah, you must do that.
00:24:41 Helen: Hello!
00:24:44 How do you do?
00:24:46 I'm so happy you both
00:24:52 Hey, cut that out!
00:24:54 - Won't you be seated?
00:24:57 My father should be here
00:25:05 - Is anything wrong?
00:25:08 It's just that you're looking
00:25:11 I feel my hair may be out of place
00:25:14 Everything's perfect.
00:25:16 Everything's in its place.
00:25:17 - You remind me of someone.
00:25:20 - A goddess.
00:25:23 I remind you of a goddess?
00:25:26 It's a beautiful day,
00:25:27 If the sun comes out,
00:25:31 You and she do have
00:25:34 It's kind of you to be
00:25:36 I must say it's the first time
00:25:40 so extravagant with his comparisons
00:25:43 ( doorbell rings )
00:25:44 Excuse me,
00:25:48 What's the matter with you?
00:25:50 Now you cut that out!
00:25:53 You're acting like some kind
00:25:57 You just got here,
00:25:59 - What am I making?
00:26:01 That's no way to talk
00:26:03 I don't understand.
00:26:06 Maybe I'm being
00:26:08 Maybe you do things differently
00:26:10 but that's not the way we talk
00:26:14 What did I say
00:26:16 J ust cut it out!
00:26:18 That's not the way to talk
00:26:21 I guess you all
00:26:23 - Hi, fellas.
00:26:25 How are you doing?
00:26:26 - Hey, what's happening?
00:26:28 My what?
00:26:30 Hey, Mister,
00:26:32 I can hear my talk.
00:26:34 You won't hear it much longer
00:26:37 Apologize for paying
00:26:40 A tribute?
00:26:41 - I nsulting her.
00:26:44 with a handsome man for a friend,
00:26:47 Herc, you cool it!
00:26:48 I find it unnatural
00:26:50 All right,
00:26:52 ( thud )
00:26:57 Ughh!
00:26:58 You have struck Hercules.
00:27:00 Come off that rap. Keep that up,
00:27:03 What kind of chicken fat
00:27:05 I am Hercules.
00:27:06 You're Hercules, I'm Rod Nelson.
00:27:09 I can do it just as well
00:27:12 No, no.
00:27:14 - Helen: Really, you're crazy!
00:27:17 Will you put him down!
00:27:18 Please, Mr. Hercules.
00:27:21 His first name is Hercules.
00:27:23 His last name is Zeus.
00:27:26 I don't care what his name is.
00:27:30 Herc, you heard
00:27:33 Put the guy down.
00:27:35 Pretzi: Put him down
00:27:37 Put him down!
00:27:39 Helen: Put him down!
00:27:40 - Put him down!
00:27:43 Well, I knew it.
00:27:45 Doesn't surprise me a bit.
00:27:48 Wherever he goes--
00:27:51 What am I gonna do
00:27:54 ( sniffles )
00:27:58 Amusing situation with that fellow,
00:28:02 Amusing?
00:28:04 - Original.
00:28:06 - I find him refreshing.
00:28:09 No.
00:28:10 He almost killed Rod Nelson.
00:28:14 Nevertheless,
00:28:16 I'd like to get to know him better.
00:28:19 - Oh, really?
00:28:21 He had the effrontery to ask if
00:28:25 Well, of course you told him. . .
00:28:27 - I would.
00:28:33 ( animal growls and screeches )
00:28:45 ( growling )
00:28:53 Oh, it was a
00:28:56 - Thank you so much
00:28:59 Are you homesick?
00:29:01 I'm having too much fun.
00:29:04 ( hooves clipping )
00:29:13 ( gorilla panting )
00:29:36 What's it like back there,
00:29:39 Didn't you tell me Athens?
00:29:40 A seaport?
00:29:43 - We have a fine ocean view.
00:29:46 Have any brothers
00:29:48 Lots, half brothers
00:29:50 What does your father do?
00:29:54 Ha! He's a deity.
00:29:56 I suppose he must miss you.
00:29:59 He didn't want
00:30:02 I n fact, he was most upset.
00:30:04 Of course.
00:30:05 But a young man must see
00:30:08 This is what I told him.
00:30:11 Do you have a girl
00:30:14 You know how it is.
00:30:16 No, I don't.
00:30:20 Radio: All Central Park units.
00:30:23 Escaped from zoo,
00:30:27 Take caution with animal,
00:30:31 ( sirens wailing )
00:30:39 ( growling )
00:30:45 ( sirens approaching )
00:30:48 I would really like
00:30:51 I've heard
00:30:53 Perhaps you will
00:30:56 Will you
00:30:57 You like
00:31:00 Well,
00:31:03 Have you ever been
00:31:05 - I know it very well.
00:31:08 I'm not kidding.
00:31:09 When I was a little girl,
00:31:12 and the gods and goddesses who
00:31:15 and I believed it!
00:31:17 It's one of the joys
00:31:19 ( growling )
00:31:36 ( Helen screaming )
00:31:39 Ooh!
00:31:40 ( whinnying )
00:31:43 Ooh!
00:31:47 ( Helen screaming )
00:31:50 Hercules!
00:31:52 Beat him up!
00:32:03 Aaahh!

00:32:10 Ooh!
00:32:13 Well, beat him!

00:32:55 Using our muscles is one
00:32:58 for us to get some dough.
00:33:00 U nless you've got a better idea
00:33:03 that you've been running up
00:33:05 Yes, sir, gents. . .
00:33:07 the wrassling game is. . .
00:33:12 Mr. Dugan promotes the wrestling
00:33:15 Right.
00:33:16 - He saw your picture in the paper.
00:33:18 He read about what you'd done
00:33:21 And he brought us a proposition.
00:33:36 I'm your new partner.
00:33:38 I saw your boy Hercules
00:33:40 and he's gonna go places.
00:33:42 Yeah.
00:33:43 Dugan tells me
00:33:46 And I hope so,
00:33:48 because here's my contract
00:33:51 All you gotta do is

00:33:58 I don't have any contracts
00:34:01 He's my buddy. . .
00:34:03 we just got each others' word.
00:34:05 It makes it all the easier.
00:34:07 Cuts the red tape.
00:34:09 Sign your name.
00:34:10 Fat Lips, Nitro and me
00:34:13 Yeah.
00:34:15 No.
00:34:16 I ain't gonna do that.
00:34:19 Hercules is my friend.
00:34:21 Not to you, or him,
00:34:24 Look, that boy of yours
00:34:27 With my connections,
00:34:29 world champ in no time.
00:34:31 What's a little runt like you
00:34:34 except stand in his way?
00:34:37 Yeah.
00:34:40 No,
00:34:45 Now, look. . .
00:34:47 I'd like to do everything
00:34:51 But if you wanna get tough,
00:34:53 we can oblige you,
00:34:57 Yeah.
00:35:19 Tell your boy
00:35:27 ( door closes )
00:35:57 ''Hercules. . .
00:35:58 half god, half man,
00:36:01 was the son of J upiter,
00:36:03 as he was known
00:36:05 and a mortal mother
00:36:08 As J uno,
00:36:10 was always hostile to
00:36:14 by mortal mothers,
00:36:16 she declared war against
00:36:19 She sent two serpents
00:36:22 as he lay in his cradle.
00:36:24 But Hercules strangled them
00:36:27 Holy moley!
00:37:10 I would speak with Nemesis.
00:37:23 My son, Hercules,
00:37:27 is out in the world bringing
00:37:31 He has no business there.
00:37:33 And where he is
00:37:35 I hear, Great Zeus.
00:37:38 I charge you with a mission,
00:37:41 as she who is the avenger
00:37:44 I n all things, I obey.
00:37:46 Go down to that continent
00:37:49 to that city
00:37:52 Take with you my wish
00:37:53 that Hercules be punished
00:37:56 for demeaning that part
00:38:00 in rioting among the mortals
00:38:04 Great Zeus,
00:38:05 I beg you, hold your anger
00:38:08 He means no harm.
00:38:10 He is simple,
00:38:12 Give him a chance.
00:38:14 Send me down there first
00:38:17 before you give Nemesis
00:38:21 - Yes, O Zeus.
00:38:24 Send Mercury for Hercules
00:38:25 before you charge that dread
00:38:28 Venus also adds her voice
00:38:32 and merciful.
00:38:35 I don't wish to be
00:38:37 But Hercules has been trying
00:38:41 Woman: Yet be indulgent,
00:38:43 Send Mercury
00:38:45 - Give him this chance.
00:38:50 He's been an annoyance
00:38:52 We all know why
00:38:56 But surely, Great Zeus will not let
00:38:59 - by J uno's malice.
00:39:02 - How dare you?
00:39:04 I don't want any arguments.
00:39:08 So be it.
00:39:11 - Mercury. . .
00:39:14 Tell Hercules it is
00:39:16 he return to Olympus
00:39:19 Do not fail.
00:39:21 - Now be gone.
00:39:30 Is it wise, O Zeus,
00:39:33 If Hercules no longer finds
00:39:37 then let him stay
00:39:39 Those down there will punish him
00:39:43 They resent one who is different
00:39:46 They will always try to
00:39:50 It is the habit
00:39:53 Hercules is my son,
00:39:55 I know you hate him, J uno,
00:39:58 but we do not punish
00:40:01 only in sorrow.
00:40:05 I have spoken.
00:40:16 Oh look, you're famous.
00:40:18 That is not Hercules.
00:40:21 who looks as if he came from
00:40:24 Oh, no.
00:40:25 This is a motion picture,
00:40:27 You mustn't take yourself
00:40:30 He doesn't even look like me.
00:40:33 What are you doing?
00:40:36 Oh, wow!
00:40:39 Does he?
00:40:41 Listen. . .
00:40:42 - Does he?
00:40:45 It isn't supposed
00:40:47 except the actor
00:40:49 What is the name
00:40:51 Who gave him permission
00:40:54 Listen.
00:40:56 I think. . .
00:40:59 I nsolence.
00:41:06 ( church bell chimes )
00:41:32 Hercules: What is that?
00:41:34 It's Atlas
00:41:35 According to Greek mythology,
00:41:38 Atlas?
00:41:40 - Yeah.
00:41:43 You have the oddest
00:41:46 Half the time I don't know
00:41:49 Did your mother drop you
00:41:51 What happened?
00:41:53 Once I strangled two serpents
00:41:55 Oh. . .
00:41:58 Come along.
00:42:01 First, let's take a picture
00:42:03 Okay.
00:42:08 ( shutter clicks )
00:42:11 And now of you.
00:42:16 Smile.
00:42:27 This fine food for only
00:42:31 They who run this place must be
00:42:34 Let's go and get a table.
00:42:40 Very pretty.
00:42:42 I'm glad.
00:42:44 Perhaps you'll stay here longer
00:42:47 Well,
00:42:48 another hundred years,
00:42:51 ( giggling )
00:44:10 - Greetings, Hercules.
00:44:12 - What brings you down here?
00:44:15 - Zeus, he sent you?
00:44:18 Why?
00:44:19 To ask you in Zeus' name
00:44:23 I don't wish to return yet.
00:44:25 Zeus insists on it.
00:44:27 I like it down here.
00:44:28 Do not defy Zeus.
00:44:31 He's all the time
00:44:33 Mercury: It is out of the love
00:44:35 When did you see
00:44:38 About five minutes ago.
00:44:39 How did you leave things
00:44:41 About the same.
00:44:44 Hercules: J uno, too?
00:44:46 Well, you know J uno
00:44:48 of every woman
00:44:51 Venus especially asked me
00:44:54 Tell Zeus I'll come back
00:44:56 I wouldn't want to do that.
00:44:58 in throwing those thunderbolts
00:45:00 I'm not worried about
00:45:03 Zeus has another instrument
00:45:07 Nemesis.
00:45:08 He wouldn't send her
00:45:10 It was only at the solicitation
00:45:13 that he sent me in her place
00:45:16 Why can't the old man
00:45:19 For the first time
00:45:21 I'm enjoying myself
00:45:23 This is no place for you.
00:45:26 Everything is changing.
00:45:28 Mortal man has no more belief
00:45:31 I'm enjoying myself,
00:45:33 - You are living a fallacy.
00:45:36 Such overconfidence
00:45:40 I'm going
00:45:43 Please, Hercules,
00:45:48 Now you're reasonable,
00:45:51 And you're also
00:45:53 What harm am I doing
00:45:55 - You could do great harm.
00:45:58 - Yourself.
00:46:00 Hercules can only be
00:46:03 You are confusing these mortals
00:46:06 Hercules: Ha!
00:46:09 on the street named
00:46:11 There's a man
00:46:13 They shower money on him.
00:46:14 It proves they know me.
00:46:16 I must get back to Olympus.
00:46:19 Zeus would hold it against me.
00:46:22 No.
00:46:23 Is that the message you would
00:46:26 I will come sometime,
00:46:30 Then I fear for you,
00:46:32 Such obstinacy can have
00:46:35 Give my regards to Venus.
00:46:37 Right.
00:46:38 She will be distressed to know
00:46:42 I'm not defying him. I just want
00:46:45 Farewell, then.
00:46:46 I carry your words back
00:46:52 If you will not take
00:46:55 then heed my caution:
00:46:59 Goodbye, my half brother.
00:47:16 I'm sure he meant well.
00:47:19 But, but. . .
00:47:21 ( stammering )
00:47:23 Ooohh!
00:47:50 Helen: You know what
00:47:52 I think he's slightly
00:47:54 Either that, or he's the world's
00:47:57 Perhaps he's suffering
00:48:00 His name is Hercules,
00:48:03 What's so terrible about that?
00:48:05 We've heard of people
00:48:07 U h-huh.
00:48:08 But they're in institutions.
00:48:10 The young man's aberration
00:48:14 I don't care.
00:48:15 I like him.
00:48:18 So do I , even if he did
00:48:21 A Greek peasant with delusions
00:48:24 Fascinating.
00:48:26 ( doorbell rings )
00:48:29 Open it up. . .
00:48:32 He opens up. . .
00:48:35 I seen it!
00:48:37 - I seen it.
00:48:39 I seen it.
00:48:42 He. . . he. . .
00:48:44 right out the window--
00:48:46 from the 23rd floor!
00:48:50 What are you talking about,
00:48:52 I seen it
00:48:54 What did you see, Pretzi?
00:48:56 He called him, ''Mercury.''
00:48:58 They were talking
00:49:01 Seems he come over here
00:49:03 But he don't wanna come home,
00:49:05 so Mercury throws himself
00:49:08 straight up into the sky!
00:49:10 Take it easy, Pretzi.
00:49:12 - Get him a drink, Helen.
00:49:14 No booze, no.
00:49:17 I don't know. I seen it. . .
00:49:21 - A cup of coffee may help.
00:49:23 Now, Pretzi, I presume
00:49:26 Yeah, Hercules.
00:49:28 Did you have anything
00:49:30 Well, I . . .
00:49:32 I might have had a couple
00:49:34 And how much is a couple?
00:49:36 A pint.
00:49:37 A pint?
00:49:39 Well. . .
00:49:43 Relax. A cup of black coffee,
00:49:47 Holy moley!
00:49:49 I've never seen anything
00:49:54 ( thunder )
00:50:00 That was the answer Hercules
00:50:03 It was not so insolent
00:50:06 I n fact, Hercules spoke of you
00:50:08 - Yet he defied my command.
00:50:11 He said he would come back,
00:50:13 He dares to temporize with me!
00:50:16 I'll blast him!
00:50:18 Nemesis. . .
00:50:20 come here!
00:50:31 Nemesis. . .
00:50:34 Can I talk with you
00:50:36 Make it brief, O wife to Zeus.
00:50:41 What punishment did my
00:50:46 It is for him to tell you,
00:50:49 It is for you to tell me
00:50:51 Am I not wife to Zeus?
00:50:53 I order you!
00:50:56 I am to convey Hercules to
00:51:00 where he is to remain
00:51:04 What kind of a punishment
00:51:06 Hercules will have
00:51:08 roistering about
00:51:12 Pluto is the king
00:51:16 If it is Zeus' thought that
00:51:21 I have a keener one for him.
00:51:24 Let him stay where he is.
00:51:27 But Earth is where
00:51:29 Yes. . .
00:51:31 but as Hercules.
00:51:33 - I don't understand.
00:51:36 it sets him apart
00:51:39 They might even make
00:51:42 They have no kings
00:51:45 They're called ''presidents.''
00:51:48 A king by any other name,
00:51:50 in his heart still thinks
00:51:53 J uno delays me.
00:51:55 What does she have in mind?
00:51:59 Hercules' divinity.
00:52:02 His divinity?
00:52:04 Since he seems to like it so well
00:52:08 I shall give him a taste
00:52:11 He shall become one of
00:52:14 he finds it so fascinating
00:52:17 But Hercules is a demigod.
00:52:21 Thanks to my husband's
00:52:23 I can't take away Hercules'
00:52:28 but I can make him
00:52:33 as long as the effects from
00:52:38 Hope for the best.
00:52:41 Open the face of this ring.
00:52:43 Pour the powder within
00:52:47 Then he will become
00:52:50 no better,
00:52:52 and as vulnerable
00:52:54 It could mean that
00:52:56 - Yes.
00:52:58 It might.
00:53:02 J uno, I dare not.
00:53:04 I cannot take part
00:53:07 the will of the gods.
00:53:09 Do my bidding. . .
00:53:13 or when I have Zeus
00:53:16 I might tell him
00:53:28 And one more thing. . .
00:53:30 on your way back,
00:53:33 Go see Pluto.
00:53:35 I have a message for him.
00:54:10 Pluto: Forgive the barking.
00:54:13 Nemesis: Seems to have
00:54:15 He does that sometimes
00:54:17 It's those three heads,
00:54:19 How have you been,
00:54:21 Pretty nifty, except it's been
00:54:24 A new shipload.
00:54:27 I'd ask you in,
00:54:29 Thanks, but I wouldn't
00:54:33 You say that Hercules
00:54:36 all those foolish mortals
00:54:38 Temporarily.
00:54:40 Zeus has decreed
00:54:43 the next hundred years
00:54:46 There has been an argument
00:54:49 And so J uno, um. . .
00:54:50 wants you to have the opportunity
00:54:55 What a triumph! What a coup!
00:54:58 To snatch the soul
00:55:00 - When can I expect Hercules?
00:55:03 He refuses to obey Zeus.
00:55:05 Then he won't come.
00:55:06 Not voluntarily.
00:55:08 He must bring him
00:55:11 And J uno has. . .
00:55:13 facilitated matters.
00:55:15 Surely J uno realizes
00:55:18 - I only punish.
00:55:20 of course.
00:55:23 But she also knows
00:55:27 And what she can't
00:55:30 she is sure that you are
00:55:33 You know, that is true.
00:55:35 I always thought of myself
00:55:38 Then I'll leave the matter
00:55:40 Goodbye.
00:55:42 Goodbye.
00:56:18 Pluto: I didn't mind climbing
00:56:20 but heights make me dizzy.
00:56:23 I'm not accustomed
00:56:25 ( chuckles )
00:56:27 Have you decided?
00:56:29 I don't care what Zeus
00:56:31 I'm not coming with you.
00:56:33 - Some other century, perhaps?
00:56:36 Safer? Hercules is a god,
00:56:39 Things can change.
00:56:41 You're being ridiculous.
00:56:45 J ust listen to me for a minute.
00:56:47 You'll enjoy yourself.
00:56:50 I don't know what the occasion was
00:56:53 beautiful women. . .
00:56:55 - You bother me.
00:56:57 I n this briefcase
00:57:00 that was drawn up by the best
00:57:02 who at the moment are involuntarily
00:57:06 What is it to me?
00:57:07 I mean if you play
00:57:10 I can see that you can get
00:57:12 who might tickle your,
00:57:15 So just sign
00:57:17 and I'll take care of
00:57:18 Why don't you
00:57:20 You've been away
00:57:23 Who is taking care of things?
00:57:25 Who is feeding Cerberus?
00:57:27 How did you get here?
00:57:30 Nosy parker.
00:57:34 - So this is your doing?
00:57:38 How about signing
00:57:40 No. If you don't stop
00:57:43 Listen, I'm not. . .
00:57:44 I'm not afraid of you.
00:57:47 Hey, that's terrific,
00:57:49 but I'm also a god.
00:57:51 - I can try.
00:57:56 I'll see you later.
00:57:57 We'll be in touch.
00:58:00 You're gonna. . .
00:58:03 I'll see you again sometime. . .
00:58:06 when you're run down.
00:58:23 Said on the phone
00:58:26 Said we'd recognize him
00:58:29 Here he comes.
00:58:40 You weren't kidding about what
00:58:43 Certainly not.
00:58:46 Sure you'll be able
00:58:49 Man: Twenty thousand dollars?
00:58:51 5 to 1 .
00:58:55 Okay, pal, it's a bet.
00:58:58 You're laying 20 grand
00:59:00 on Hercules to lose?
00:59:10 The money.
00:59:14 What's your name?
00:59:16 Where do you hang out?
00:59:17 Don't worry about that.
00:59:20 We shall meet again.
00:59:23 Mmmmm. . .
00:59:25 Well, goodbye. . .
00:59:27 for the present.
00:59:30 Till next time.
00:59:39 I don't like
00:59:42 He gives me the creeps.
00:59:45 He's dangerous.
00:59:46 I wouldn't welsh on him
00:59:50 What's to welsh?
00:59:52 Hercules is a cinch to win,
00:59:56 If you say so.
00:59:58 He'll walk into a room
01:00:01 if he don't come through
01:00:04 Twenty grand, huh?
01:00:06 That's a lot of dough.
01:00:08 Figure this guy knows
01:00:12 What could he know?
01:00:14 He's a long shot plunger!
01:00:16 ( laughing )
01:00:41 - Disturbing you?
01:00:44 Did you see
01:00:46 Not yet.

01:02:23 If you don't win,
01:02:26 Who can harm Hercules?

01:08:01 Hercules is in trouble.
01:08:04 Although that represents
01:08:07 He brought it on himself.
01:08:10 One thing
01:08:13 I did not decree that Hercules
01:08:17 It was my edict that
01:08:20 for a hundred years.
01:08:22 How, then, has this
01:08:27 Can nobody tell me?
01:08:31 - Eros!
01:08:37 Find Nemesis.
01:08:40 At once,
01:08:52 He should have been

01:09:03 Get the boys.
01:09:04 Get the boys.
01:09:24 There goes the dame.
01:09:26 The big phony and the runt
01:09:29 They're probably on the floor.
01:09:43 Follow them.
01:09:56 She left without
01:09:58 But don't you see
01:10:00 She trying to draw them away
01:10:04 You said those men
01:10:06 Dangerous!
01:10:09 - H urry!
01:10:12 We have to stop those men.
01:10:14 On foot? You're gonna

01:10:29 Man: Hey, come back
01:10:37 Hey, Mister!
01:10:53 Man: Hey ''Muscles,'' that ain't

01:14:09 I want my chariot.
01:14:17 Helen: We're out of gas!
01:14:25 Let's get in there!
01:14:27 Hercules doesn't flee
01:14:29 Come on, Herc!
01:14:42 Zeus sent for me?
01:14:44 When I ordered you
01:14:47 did I not charge you to see
01:14:49 was delivered
01:14:50 - It is as Zeus says.
01:14:54 How is it that Hercules was
01:14:57 his strength,
01:14:59 and finds himself in his
01:15:03 Well. . .?
01:15:06 Well!?
01:15:08 I was sent on another mission.
01:15:12 Who gave you another mission
01:15:17 Speak up, or I will blast you
01:15:28 ( tires squeal )
01:15:30 Here comes Tony.
01:15:32 - Where's all the other guys?
01:15:34 Okay, you take a couple of boys
01:15:36 all the other guys,
01:15:51 Where are we going?
01:15:54 That way!
01:16:33 Now, Nemesis,
01:16:38 No! No, Mighty Zeus.
01:16:40 I beg you!
01:16:42 It was J uno.
01:16:44 She bade me do what I did.
01:16:47 So, interfering again.
01:16:51 I've told you I will not tolerate
01:16:54 I thought it best,
01:17:02 I will discuss this
01:17:05 Zeus, will you not save
01:17:09 Let him abide
01:17:12 of his own folly
01:17:27 Oh, no. Herc!
01:17:40 Hercules is in great peril.
01:17:44 If Zeus does not relent,
01:17:46 - There is.
01:17:49 We may send aid
01:17:52 We?
01:17:54 You know where to find them.
01:17:56 And they'll listen to you.
01:17:58 - Who?
01:18:18 Hercules! Get up!
01:18:21 - Come on, Hercules.
01:18:24 He's not coming.
01:18:32 Are you all right, boy?
01:18:35 You all right?
01:18:44 Go get them!
01:19:24 Who sent Atlas and Samson
01:19:29 Is it not enough that Hercules
01:19:32 all that trouble
01:19:34 Call those other two away,
01:19:40 Mercury. . .?
01:19:44 - Zeus?
01:19:47 It was I .
01:19:51 How dare you
01:19:54 I feared
01:19:57 Bereft of his strength,
01:20:00 in the world of mortal men.
01:20:04 It is not to be borne.
01:20:06 Hercules treated as a common
01:20:09 Then save him, Mighty Zeus!
01:20:11 He deserves all he's getting.
01:20:14 When I want your opinion,
01:20:19 Hercules is a son of Zeus.
01:20:22 I n treating him as they do,
01:20:24 those scoundrels down there
01:20:28 Then save him,
01:20:30 even if it is only because
01:21:07 No mortal shall ever triumph
01:21:24 ( thunder )
01:22:01 I don't see nothing.
01:22:03 It's all very dark
01:22:06 Fire torpedo!
01:22:09 Aw, you gotta put
01:22:11 Forget it.
01:22:16 You can see
01:22:18 It's really something, huh?
01:22:20 I've never been up here,
01:22:22 Kind of makes you
01:22:24 some sort of god
01:22:27 Too bad it's a little
01:22:30 Well, you can still see
01:22:33 I can see the whole river.
01:22:37 Look at that big boat
01:22:40 You know, Herc,
01:22:42 that looks like the boat
01:22:44 Take a look at it, Herc,
01:22:47 Hey, Herc?
01:22:49 Where'd you go, Herc?
01:22:50 I have been willful.
01:22:52 I have been disobedient.
01:22:54 Mighty Zeus has more wisdom
01:22:58 He knew better
01:23:01 Please, Mighty Zeus, relent.
01:23:05 You'll be sorry.
01:23:07 Zeus has only to speak now
01:23:10 for Hercules to obey.
01:23:12 ( thunder )
01:23:19 Herc?
01:23:20 Where'd you go, Herc?
01:23:22 Hey, Herc!
01:23:27 Herc!
01:24:04 H uh, strongest guy
01:24:07 tying up with a nothing
01:24:11 Imagine. . .
01:24:14 He really made me feel
01:24:17 a half-pint like me.
01:24:20 I ain't never gonna
01:24:24 Never.
01:24:28 Only, where did he go?
01:24:33 ( jazz music )
01:24:35 Radio: Don't grieve,
01:24:38 I n the memory
01:24:40 separation may have
01:24:42 Herc?
01:24:44 We are friends, you and I .
01:24:46 And nothing can
01:24:48 Herc?
01:24:52 Herc!
01:24:54 What are you doing
01:24:56 Herc. . .
01:24:58 It's me! It's Pretzi!
01:25:01 Why did you take a powder like that?
01:25:06 I didn't say anything
01:25:09 Or do nothing?
01:25:12 I enjoyed knowing you,
01:25:16 Gee, Herc.
01:25:18 Ain't I never gonna
01:25:20 Ain't you never
01:25:22 Even for a visit?
01:25:24 'Cause if you ain't,
01:25:26 it's sure gonna be
01:25:30 Herc, we really did
01:25:34 I didn't just imagine

01:25:47 all you need to do
01:25:50 and there I shall be,
01:25:51 in your mind
01:25:54 for as long as
01:25:56 as long as you need me.
01:25:58 Radio: Due to temporary
01:26:01 we were interrupted
01:26:04 We resume. . .
01:26:05 Herc?
01:26:07 Herc?
01:26:14 ''Any time you need me,
01:26:17 any time you want me,
01:26:19 just think of me,
01:26:21 and I'll be there
01:26:23 for as long as
01:26:27 Yeah.
01:26:30 I think I'll eat an apple.
01:26:34 And this is what I saw
01:26:38 It all sounds
01:26:46 Leave me, now.
01:26:48 I would think
01:26:59 You, too, my love.
