“Armageddon Now, I” Episode 72/413 [TEASER] [Ephiny sings at funeral fire of Solon and Hope.] ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Villager 1: “It’s snowing in summer?” Villager 2: “It’s not snow. It’s more like ashes.” Man’s Voice: “It’s all over the place!” Old Man [Mumbles incoherently]: “Get your own!” [Screams] [Hope’s essence kills old man, taking over his body.] ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “Hercules-- it’s a clay wall. It doesn’t have to be perfect.” H: “It’s better to do it right the first time, than to have to do it all over again when it falls down.” I: “Yeah, but if it takes forever to do it the first time-- what’s the point? Oh, I know-- you’re doing it for your mom.” [Sees Alcmene [Alc] approaching, then smiles] Alc: “Hercules-- ” H: “Hmm?” Alc: “A messenger just came for you-- from Queen Leder. I’m afraid it’s bad news.” H: “Oh-- did something happen to Tyndareus [Tyn]?” Alc: “No, no, no-- the king is fine, but-- their daughter ran away and got married-- Leder’s afraid he’s gonna start a war because of it.” I: “Oh, Tyndareus-- another word for ‘hothead.’” H: “He’s a good man-- he’ll come to his senses.” Alc: “He’s been making offerings to Ares-- and raising an army.” I: “Ares-- terrific-- just what we need. Huh!” H: “I promise, my next visit will be-- longer.” Alc [Laughs]: “Well, it will give me something to look forward to.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [Hope frees Callisto.] Hope: “Welcome home, Callisto.” Callisto [Cal]: “Home? Why? It’s over. Leave me alone.” Hope: “Your work’s not finished, Callisto.” Cal: “I’ve done all I can.” Hope: “Not yet-- your biggest challenge is ahead.” Cal: “And what would that be?” Hope: “To rid the world of its greatest hero-- Hercules.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [ACT I] Ares: “You were right to come to me, Tyndareus. A thing of beauty, isn’t it? Forged by Hephaestus-- wrthy of a god.” Tyn: “It feels-- alive.” Ares: “The fit-- the finish-- the balance. Feel the power. See how it draws-- smooth and sure. Be one-- with the arrow.” Strife [Gleefully exclaims]: “Call him Tyndareus the Terrible!” [Laughs] Ares: “Now! All this-- could be yours. Your army will slaughter its enemies-- thousands, no-- _tens of thousands_ will die-- by your hand!” Tyn: “But I only want my daughter back.” Ares: “That poor-- sweet, innocent girl. When I think of her being deceived-- tricked-- into that marriage, I-- you are doing the right thing. _Any_ good father would do as much.” Tyn: “You’re absolutely right, of course. I appreciate what you’re doing for me, but-- ” Strife: “Ah-- no guts, no glory, King.” Ares: “Hey-- _I_ am trying to help you, here. I could give these weapons to your enemies. It really makes no difference to me who slaughters whom.” Strife: “Ah-- but you’d never see Daddy’s girl again.” Tyn: “You’re right. I’ll kill him with my own bare hands!” Ares: “That’s the ticket! And the great thing is-- it’s gonna cost you-- nothing.” H: “Only your soul.” Ares: “Who invited him to the party?” H: “I wanna talk to my brother, Tyndareus. You go with Iolaus.” Tyn: “But Ares has agreed to help me get my daughter.” I: “King?” H: “Don’t you have _any_-- scruples?” Strife: “Huh?” Ares: “Any what?” H: “You took advantage of that man’s desperation.” Ares: “He had potential. Do’n’t matter-- I’ll find someone else.” H: “Not with these toys you won’t.” [Destroys weapons] Strife: “Oh!” Ares: “Nooo!” Strife: “Oh, the horror!” H: “There-- that’s better.” Ares: “It took Hephaestus _months_ to forge those weapons!” H: “Well, Hephaestus needs a new hobby, like, maybe-- knitting.” Strife: “Huh? Yeah-- [Makes “Kung Foo” noises] Whoo-hoo! [Screams] You don’t suppose Zeus has lifted that, uh, pesky little ‘No-gods-killing-other-gods’ rule, do you?” [Laughs] Ares: “And the day started so well.” H: “Yeah, well-- bye, guys. It’s-- been fun.” Ares: “Get up-- and act like a god, you worm.” [Steps on him] Strife: “Ohhh! OK.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Cal: “You’ve changed, Hope. I hardly recognized you.” Hope: “Things change-- things stay the same. I am who I always was.” Cal: “Yeah. And you want to kill Hercules. It’s been tried. I can’t believe you have _disturbed_ me for this.” Hope: “The two of us-- will do it together. To refuse-- would be a mistake.” Cal: “Oh yeah? And, uh-- what exactly are you gonna do if I don’t, huh? You gonna kill me? ‘Cause I’m a goddess now, Sweet-cheeks, and goddesses don’t die.” Hope: “Your life is empty. You need a purpose.” Cal: “My life-- my life-- will never _end_. And it was over years ago in Cirra. There is nothing you can do for me, Hope! So you go away.” Hope: “I can redeem your life-- rid you of your demons, in a way you never thought possible.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Tyn: “Appreciate your intentions-- but it’s my daughter’s future at stake.” H: “Not your fatherly pride?” Tyn: “Certainly not!” I: “Look, do you know the guy she’s marrying?” Tyn: “Yes, I know him.” H: “So-- what’s wrong with him?” Tyn: “Well, he’s not good enough for her, that’s what.” I: “Why? Because she’s a princess?” Tyn: “Well, it’s not that. He comes from a royal family, too. It’s just that, uh-- ” H: “It’s just that-- she’s your daughter.” Tyn: “Well, she deserves better!” H: “Have you talked to her about this?” Tyn: “Yes, I did. I forbade her to see him-- let alone marry him.” I: “So, then she did the obvious thing and ran away and did it.” H: “Tyndareus-- I’ve known you for a long time. I know how much you and your daughter love each other. Don’t let this come between you.” Tyn: “I couldn’t live if it did.” H: “Well, then-- throw them a wedding feast! I mean, your daughter’s in love-- you should be celebrating!” Tyn: “You’re right. Won’t you both join us?” I: “Hey, is the world supported on the back of four giant elephants?” Tyn: “Good! Well, that’s settled, then. I’ll expect you!” I: “He’s a hothead, but-- a nice guy.” H: “Hmm-- I thought the world was round.” I: “Huh?! Really?” [Laughs] ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Ares: “I needed that war to reinforce my position on Olympus! Those other fools can’t see what’s coming-- but I can. I know. And you! You’re a worthless excuse for a god. He makes a fool of you time and time again!” Strife: “Hey, hey, hey! You know, I’m not the only one who’s afraid of crossing Zeus. I _still_-- don’t see HerK’s head on _your_ belt-- Mister ‘Big-bad-god of-- ” [Yells as Ares punches him] Cal: “Hit him again. He deserves it.” Ares: “Callisto! Looking better than ever-- immortal _and_-- a newborn goddess.” Cal: “I’m flattered, Ares. I really wasn’t quite sure what kind of reception I would get as myself, considering the last time we met I was in Xena’s body.” Ares: “Ooh, I remember.” Strife: “Callisto? She’s a twisted sister. Next to her, the fures are, uh-- mellow.” [Laughs] Cal: “Shut up, Strife.” [Zaps him with fire] Strife: [Screams] Ares: “Whoa-- nice technique.” Cal: “Yeah-- well, I love fire. It’s always been a part of me, since-- Xena’s army burned by home. And that fire-- turned my family to ashes. And everybody died that day.” Ares: “I love it when you talk like that-- such delicious carnage. Xena would have laid waste to the entire mortal world if Hercules hadn’t interfered. What has he got against fun, huh?!” Strife: “Don’t trust her, Unc. You know, she may be a god-- but she’s not one of us.” Ares: “Shut up, Strife.” [Whacks him] Cal: “I admire your technique, too-- It’s like a-- hammer to an anvil.” Ares: “You know-- some people-- are just begging to get pounded.” Cal: “I didn’t think you noticed.” Ares: “I was talking about Hercules. Sooner or later, he’s gonna go too far, and I-- might not be able to restrain myself.” Cal: “Oh, well, that is a problem, isn’t it? What _would_ Zeus do if that ever were to happen-- huh?” Ares: “What’s an eternal life-- without the occasional risk?” Cal: “You know what your problem is? Huh? Well, you’re always trying to kill Hercules. What if you just-- got rid of him in a way that Zeus never knew about? Then we’d really have some fun, huh? And-- I’ll show you carnage like you never dreamed of-- a landscape littered with body parts.” Strife: “Unc, can’t you see? She’s playing you like a lyre. She’s jerking your strings!” Ares and Cal: “Shut up, Strife!” [They both zap Strife.] Strife: “Whoaaaaaa!” Ares: “He’s right about you, isn’t he?” Cal: “But you wanna know more, don’t you?” Ares: “I’m all ears. Well-- maybe not all-- ears. OK? I like it. But there’s-- no need to rush. Damn!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Ares: “Ah-- this is the place.” Cal: “I’m ready if you are.” Ares: “Oh, yeah-- I’m ready.” [They open passage to Alternate world.] Cal [Laughs]: “Was it good for you?” Ares: “Not yet.” [Bad H/Sovereign [Sov] appears with a scream.] Sov: “I’m back.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [ACT II] Ares: “So-- you’re the Sovereign. Gotta tell you-- love the beard.” Sov: “Ares-- the god of love in basic-- black. I approve.” Ares: “Hey! You’re not in Neverland now, pal. You’re in my yard.” Sov: “And Priestess Callisto. You must be my-- welcome home present.” Cal: “Hmm. Please-- I really don’t wanna hear about it. Just fork over the pendant, Sunshine.” Sov: “This? Huh. I don’t think so.” Ares: “Come to Papa.” Sov: [Tries to attack Ares, then Callisto, but they disappear] “Wait a minute. This isn’t my world. Disappointed!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Stirfe: “Uh, as a-- fashion statement, it, uh-- comes in a little short, but, uh-- since it’s filled with the blood of the golden hind-- ” Ares: “I think-- I’ll keep this. Hind’s blood is nasty stuff.” Srife [Laughs]: “It’s the only thing that will kill a god! And the god who has it-- is top god!” [Laughs] Cal: “Now-- where were we? Oh, yes. Are you ready to consummate our relationship and-- move ahead with the plan?” Ares: “Uh-uh-uh-uh-- one thing at a time. First-- we consummate.” Cal: “Ares, I don’t think you trust me!” Ares: “No.” Cal: “All right, what do I have to do ta-- convince you?” Strife: “I don’t trust her, Unc. Dump her now. It’s what she deserves.” Cal: “You _pathetic_ little weasel!” Strife: [Snorts] Ares: “No, no, no, no-- no. [Bops Strife, then kicks him out of the way] Sometimes, he can be _such_ an embarrassment.” Strife: “OK. OK. You made your point. But, uh-- what do we do now? How do we get Hercules-- where we want him-- hmm?” Cal: “That is the beauty of unleashing the Sovereign, you nitwit.” Ares: “My brother is such a predictable do-gooder. Soon he’ll have his hands full-- with his own bad self.” Cal: “Hmm. Yes, and while he’s busy with the Sovereign-- that leaves us-- with our own fun and games--doesn’t it?” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “Hercules-- we’re going to this wedding feast, aren’t we?” H: “Hmm.” I: “It should be good. Food-- wine-- dancing girls-- huh-- dancing girls.” H: “I wouldn’t wanna let you down.” I: “Yeah.” H: “And besides, I wanna see how he handles having a son-in-law under his roof.” I: “Yeah-- and dancing girls.” H: “Mmm.” Man: “Whoa! Big guy! Sorry! My fault.” H: “It’s OK.” Man: “How’d you get here so fast? Shaved? New clothes? How’d you do that?!” I: “I think it’s the-- drink talking.” H: “Uh-huh.” Man: “Whatever works-- just don’t get him mad. I’ve seen what he can do, and I don’t want to see it again.” H: “What do you think I did?” Man: “Arcadia-- this morning-- you tore the place up!” H: “Oh.” Man: “‘Course, it needed it-- not a problem.” I: “Are you sure it was him?” Man: “Sure, I’m sure! Of course, he had the beard-- that black leather outfit. But-- it was your friend, here.” H and I: “The Sovereign.” H: “Let’s get to Arcadia.” I: “Yeah.” H: “Thanks.” I: “Thanks.” Man: “Whatever you say.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Man: “Hiya, Hercules. Beautiful day, isn’t it?” Sov: “What did you call me?” [Punches him] You people-- should _fear_ me!” [Goes through town, destroying it, and assaulting its citizens] Male Voice: “Look out!” Sov: “Hide from me! Tremble at the sight of me! All I get-- are happy faces! I hate-- happy!” H: “Nice to see he’s mellowed out.” I: “I’d hate to see him when he gets really mad. Hercules-- he’s the same strength as you. This could take forever.” H: “Maybe not. So, how’s your throwing arm?” I: “OK.” Sov: [Laughs] H: “That’s enough!” Sov: “Nobody talks to me like that!” H: “Behave yourself, and stop acting like a child.” Sov: “You. You trapped me in that place. But I’m-- out now-- and I’m not going back.” H: “Oh, you’re going back-- one way-- or another.” Sov: “Really? [Laughs] OK. Oh, yeah. This is gonna be good.” H: “Now, Iolaus!” Sov: [Laughs] “You. Well, I’ve been thinking about you, too. Every night, I’ve been dreaming of-- snapping your-- [Yawns] puny-- little neck.” I: “Yeah? Well, I think you’re all talk!” Sov: “What-- did you do?” H: “That’s Narcolepsis dust. I recommend _just_ a pinch for a good-- night’s sleep.” I: [Laughs] “Nighty-night. You know, Herc? Something tells me he didn’t get out of there on his own.” H: “Yeah, I have a good idea who it was, too.” I: “Yeah.” H: “But first, we gotta put him back-- this time for-- good.” I: “Wait a minute. Where’s the hind’s blood?” H: “It’s not on him. Whoever freed him has it now. [Sighs] Great. Wake up, Iolaus. Come on.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “Well-- here we are, but-- ” H: “It’s here, all right. We just can’t see it. Now-- how’re we gonna open it up?” Cal: “We’d be glad to help.” H: “Callisto. And Ares.” I: “Hercules, there it is-- the hind’s blood.” H: “I knew it would be.” Ares: “Well, how so, Brother?” H: Well, who else would feel a need for it? Only you.” Sov: “It’s-- mine! Give it back! Or I’ll tear it off your rotting-- corpse!” Ares: “I like your style. Too bad you won’t be stickin’ around long enough for us to get acquainted.” Cal: “All right, cut the chitchat. Let’s just do it.” H: “Do what?” Ares: “It.” Sov: “No, I’m not-- going back! Nooooo!” I: “Ahh! Hercules! Ahh! Ahhhhhh! Hercules, look out!” H: “Oh, no you don’t!” I: “No! Hercules!” Ares: “Huh! Ah! I think this calls for a celebration.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [ACT III] Sov: “Oh, just great! Welcome to my-- nightmare!” H: “It’s not so bad.” Sov: “Tell me the cup is full, and so help me.” H: “There’s gotta be a way out of here. Where’s this road go to?” Sov: “That road? It’s-- an endless circle. See, it leads-- right back to here. I should know. Why, I’ve-- _tried it enough times_! This is unbelievable! I _finally_ escape and where do I end up?! Right back where I started-- trapped in this place between-- worlds-- thanks to you.” [Attacks H] H: “What, are you crazy?! If I die, you’ll die too!” Sov: “I don’t care about dying, anymore! I kill you; you kill me-- it doesn’t matter. Either way-- it ends now. Bye-bye.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “Hercules! I don’t know what to do!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Cal: “To victory.” Ares: “To a world without Hercules.” Strife: “There’s no stopping us now.” Cal: “Us?” Ares: “You obsequious toad. You weren’t even there.” Strife: “Far be it for me to steal your thunder. You’re the man with the plan. You’re the mistress of mean. I’m just proud to be on the team.” Cal: “Does this brazen brown-nosing actually work with you?” Ares: “What can I say? A little-- stroking-- never hurt anyone. No, no, no. Uh. Look-- but don’t touch.” Cal: “I want it.” Ares: “I figured you did. Come and get it-- if you think you can.” Cal: “Oh, I know I can-- I was just hoping you’d put up a fight!” [They fight] ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “Ares!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [Sov and H fight.] ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [Cal and Ares fight.] Strife: “Let’s get him mad!” Cal: [Screams] Ares: “Not exactly my idear of foreplay, but-- it’ll do. Hah! Oh, you’re good, girlie-- but when it comes to physical punishment-- I invented the art.” Strife: “Damn! Teach her a lesson!” Cal: “Learn your lesson, punk!” Ares: “Oh! That was low! Well, I guess that was too, but-- oh, well!” I: “Huh?” Ares: “Ha-hah!” Hope: “Get up, Callisto-- your work’s not done.” Ares: “Whoa!!!!!” Strife: “Oh!” Cal: “Noooooo!” Ares: “Ooh! Ah!” Cal: “You’re finished, Ares. You’re washed up-- and wrung out!” Ares: “Ooh!” Cal: “Everything’ll be different, now. The last thing anybody wants-- is a has-been god like you!” Ares: “Ooh!” Cal: “Let me tell you a little secret. Just the idea-- the mere idea-- of you touching me makes my skin crawl. Come to Mama!” Ares: “Strife! What are you waiting for? Do something! Stop her. Get that pendant back before it’s too late. Now!” Strife: “Um-- you know-- no hard feelings, OK? I mean, you-- you got the chops and that’s a fact. If it’s-- if there’s one thing that us gods of aggression appreciate, it’s a-- good show of strong, brute force. You know-- no mercy. So, uh-- let me be the first-- to welcome you to the club.” Cal: “But I wouldn’t wanna be in a club-- that’d have me for a member.” [Kills Strife, then laughs] ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Sov: “What in Tartarus-- ?” H: “Something terrible has happened.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Ares: “Oh, what have you done?” I: “He’s dead!” Ares: “Dead?! He can’t be dead! He’s a god!” Cal: “Well, at least we know the stuff really works-- huh?” Hope: “Callisto.” Ares: “He wasn’t so bad. He tried hard. He-- he was just no good at his job. You didn’t have to do this!” I: “You know-- Callisto didn’t do this by herself.” Ares: “The one great evil is here-- as part of that creature that was with her. And we’ve sensed him-- everyone on Olympus has. This-- this force of darkness-- spells the end of all of us-- gods and man alike.” I: “Then, we’ve gotta stop her!” Ares: “Stop her! Didn’t you see what happened?! She can’t _be_ stopped!” I: “If we got Hercules back, maybe she can.” Ares: “What can he do that I can’t?!” I: “Think about it. Whatever Callisto and-- this-- evil are up to-- they had to get rid of Hercules first. It’s him they’re afraid of, not you!” Ares: “You know what? I’m gonna go to Zeus. We’re gonna get the gods-- no, that’s stupid. He’s gonna blame me for getting Strife killed, right here!” I: “Forget Zeus. It’s Callisto we have to worry about. Look, think about it, she’s killed one god-- maybe you’re next!” Ares: “Will you shut up?! I cannot think!” I: “Ares! She played you for a sap, and then she kicked your butt!” Ares: “Enough! But maybe you’re right. Let’s get the witch.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Hope: “It’s time. The first part’s finished. Hercules is gone-- and you move on.” Cal: “I’ll do this for you-- and then it’s my turn. Hope: “Your pain will be gone-- it’ll be like it was never there. The promise stands. You’ll live with a free heart. But first-- this.” Cal: “Do it.” Hope: “The ability to cross time is yours. All gods can do it. You’ll master the gift, eventually. But for now-- you’ll be shown the way.” Cal: “Well, if all gods can do it-- ” Hope: “They won’t interfere-- as long as you have the hind’s blood.” I: “Callisto!” Hope: “You’re too late. It’s too late for all of you.” Ares: “Where did she go?!” Hope: “She’s gone back in time-- ” Ares: “It can’t be.” Hope: “-- to stop Hercules-- from ever being born.” I: “Alcmene-- she’s gone to kill Hercules’ mother.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [ACT IV] I: “You’re a god. You can go back in time. Why don’t you just go back and get her?!” Ares: “I can’t go chasing after Callisto. I got responsibilities, here. Strife is gone. Someone’s gotta look after things.” I: “Admit it, Ares. You’re scared. OK. Send me back-- I’ll go.” Ares: “All right-- it’s your funeral. You can follow Callisto wherever she goes, but only-- where she goes. And you can come back to the present, but that’s it. Make the most of it.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Woman 1’s Voice: “-- having a fling with a stable boy.” Woman 2’s Voice: “Oh!” Woman 1’s Voice: “Why, she’s old enough to be his mother!” Woman 2’s Voice: “It’s terrible!” I: “Uh-- excuse me. This looks like Corinth.” Woman 1: “Well, it is Corinth.” I: “Good, good. Uh-- look, um-- I wonder if you could help me. I’m looking for someone. She’s, uh-- tall, blonde-- bad-tempered-- huh! A woman. Uh-- I don’t know if she’s-- been here already, or if she’s going to appear later-- ” Woman 1: “Haven’t seen her. Have you been drinking?” I: “No! No, no, no, no-- not yet. Uh-- what about Hercules? You know him?” Woman 1: “Never heard of him.” I: “OK, uh-- Alcmene-- how about her?” Woman 1: “Oh! We know her all too well-- the harlot.” I: “Harlot. OK-- are we talking about the same Alcmene? Um-- her husband’s Amphitryon.” Woman 1: “Her husband’s dead. He went off to war. But Alcmene couldn’t be bothered to wait. She’s with child. What do _you_ think?” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [Sov and H fight.] Sov: “This is getting us-- nowhere!” H: “I told you it wouldn’t! Now, listen to me. If we work together, we can _find_ a way out of here!” Sov: “For you, you mean. Even if I did help you, and we found a way out of here-- you would _still_ try to leave me in here.” H: “Fine-- then I’ll do it on my own.” Sov: “Sure! Go ahead-- for all the good it’ll do you. You’re an idiot! You know that?!” H: “You know nothing about me.” Sov: “Oh, yes I do. [Laughs] Oh, yeah. See, I’ve watched you in here. You should make people-- worship you-- tremble in fear. But what do you do? Oh, you help them out. You solve their-- puny problems. You’re pathetic.” H: “Maybe-- you’re the one who’s pathetic. You ever think about that? Are you so happy with your own life?” Sov: “Forget it!” H: “Wait! You said you-- watched me in here. How?” Sov: “I was thinking about you putting me in this place-- and a window popped up in that-- pool-- and there you were. I tried to reach through it to-- stangle you.” H: “Callisto and Ares didn’t put us in here on their own. They had the help of some-- evil force. I saw him. Now, Iolaus is alone back there with what-- whatever it is. Iolaus?” Sov: “Get used to it. It’s torture. We can see the outside world, but we can’t get back to it.” H: “There has to be a way. There’s always a way. There must be.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Y[oung] Alc: “Hmm-- the baby kicked again. He’s so strong. Our baby, Amphitryon-- no matter what anyone says. I know it was you in my bed that night-- even though they say it’s not possible. They say-- you were killed before the night you came to me. And if that’s true-- I have to believe-- because our love was so strong-- that you came to me in spirit. I know it was you. I’ll always love you.” I: “Alcmene! Um, uh-- you don’t know me. Uh-- I’m a friend.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “Iolaus.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “Tell me-- have you seen any strangers around here? A woman?” Y Alc: “No-- just you.” I: “What about Iphicles, your son? Is he inside?” Y Alc: “No, no-- he’s away with friends. Who are you?! What do you want!” I: “We haven’t got time for this.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “He’s with my mother.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “We gotta get away from her. I’ll tell you in a moment. We-- we gotta get out of here. Come on. It’s dangerous. What are you doing? Come on, I told you-- I’m a friend!” Y Alc: “I’m not going anywhere with you!” I: “But, wait! You don’t understand!” Y Alc: “Huh?!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “Callisto.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Y Alc: “Hello? Can I help you?” Cal: “Yes.” I: “N-- nooo!”Click here to return to the HTLJ ARMAGEDDON NOW, Part 1 page.
