“A Star to Guide Them” Episode 46/309 [TEASER] I: “Uh, that should be enough wood. It’s not that cold.” H: “It’s a beautiful night, Iolaus-- perfect weather for the Winter Solstice festival.” I: “Yeah-- can’t wait.” [Sighs] H: “What’s the matter? You love festivals. A-and we are the guests of honor at this one.” I: “No-- _you’re_ the guest of honor.” H: “That’s not true.” I: “Hercules, they couldn’t care if I went or not.” H: “We _both_ saved the town from those bandits.” I: “OK-- so-- who are they erecting that statue to?” H: “Oh.” I [Chuckles]: “Actually, you know, I-I-I don’t care about that. It’s just [Sighs]-- where am I going, Hercules? You know what I mean? What am I supposed to achieve in this life?” H: “Iolaus-- where did this come from?” I: “I mean-- am I gonna be remembered as Iolaus? Or-- ‘The guy with Hercules’. No-- don’t get me wrong-- I-- I’m really honored to be your friend. I wouldn’t-- go anywhere else or-- or _be_ anything else. It’s just-- I don’t know, I feel-- ” H: “Iolaus, people-- will remember you. Your time will come.” I: “I don’t know.” H [Sighs]: “Good night, Iolaus.” I: “Good night, Herc.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Polonius [Pol]: “My dear Maliphone-- ” Maliphone [Mal]: “Ah, Polonius-- how was Delphi? No incidents, I hope.” Pol: “Oh, the roads were safe, for a change. And how are you feeling, my dear?” Mal: “Oh, I’m still having some morning sickness-- but there’s nothing to worry about. All of my sisters had healthy babies.” Pol: “Maliphone-- while at Delphi I visited the oracle.” Mal: “And-- what good news would you like to share with me?” Pol: “It’s nothing. I don’t want to worry you.” Mal: “Polonius-- I’m you queen. I wanna share your news-- good or bad.” Pol: “The oracle declared-- that my kingship will be succeeded by a newborn child.” Mal: “Of course-- _this_ child! Provided it’s a boy-- and my sister assures me it will be by the way it’s positioned low.” Pol: “_Not_ of the house of Polonius.” Mal: “The oracle is wrong.” Pol: “The oracle is never wrong.” Mal: “We will make it wrong. Order the captain of the guard to round up every male child in the province under the age of one. Bring them to Bethos.” Pol: “But Maliphone-- ” Mal: “Do you want to lose everything we’ve worked for? All we’ve dreamed about?!” Pol: “Guards!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “Ah-h-h-h-h!” [[[[[[Vision: I: “Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h! Yah-h-h-h-h-h!”]]]]]] H: “What are you doing?” I: “I-- have to go.” H: “Iolaus-- it’s the middle of the night. We’ll-- make the festival in time.” I: “Oh-- I’m not going to the festival.” H: “Then where are you going?” I: “I don’t know. Hercules-- I-- have had-- a dream.” H: “It must have been some dream. What happened to your hands? They’re all red.” I [Laughs]: “I have to go.” H: “Go where?” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [ACT I] H: “How about if I go with you?” I: “Sure-- whatever.” H: “I just-- wish I could understand what’s going on?” I: “How can you understand when I can’t?” H: “Well-- let’s try-- tell me about your dream.” I [Sighs]: “Well-- ’know? I can’t remember much about it. It, uh-- there was, um-- a gnarled, old tree and a-- a carved rock and-- you know, Hercules? I’ve never felt such a feeling of-- peace and tranquility-- like a-- like a oneness, like a whole ocean of-- what?!” H: “Uh, I-I didn’t say anything?” I: “You were looking at me strangely. What?!” H: “No, it’s just-- you know, Hera and the gods-- sometimes they act in strange-- ” I: “Oh, no, no, no-- this is not a spell or anything. This just feels too right. It’s-it’s a feeling that, uh-- that I have to do this. I gotta go.” H: “Where?” I: “North.” H: “North?” I: “Yeah.” H: “It’s a bit vague.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Thug: “Going somewhere, Trinculos?” Trinculos [Tri]: “Just taking my share.” Thug: “I oughtta kill you.” 2nd Thug: [Talks in his sleep] Tri: “You don’t wanna try.” Thug: “What about tomorrow? You’re turning your back on the biggest take of our lives?!” Tri: “Steal it yourselves! I have to go.” 2nd Thug’s Voice: “Where’s _he_ going?” Thug: “Ah, we’re better off without him. Guy’s been acting crazy for two days, now!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “‘North,’ he says. No province, no-- castle, no village, no nothing. Just-- north. You don’t happen to have any idea how _far_ north we’re going, do you?” I: “You know, this is really funny because usually, on our journeys, _I’m_ the one that does the babbling.” H: “Babbling-- wh-what-- you’re saying I’m babbling? Like I’m talking incessantly-babbling? Mumbling-anything-that-pops-in-my-head-babbling? That kind of babbling?” I: “Hercules-- if I get any idea as to why I’m doing this-- I’ll let you know.” H: “Great. You still have no idea how far-- north we’re going.” I: “No.” H: “Good.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [Fight] Woman’s Voice: “Please don’t take my baby! Don’t take my baby!” Soldier’s Voice: “Give me the baby!” Woman’s Voice: “No-o-o-o-o! Help! My baby!” Women: [Scream] A Soldier’s Voice: “Quiet! Quiet!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “What is it?” I: “I don’t know. This all feels familiar, but-- I’ve never been here before.” H: “Maybe you-- saw it in your dream.” I: “Yeah-- you’re right-- I did. This was in my dream. We’re going the right way.” H: “Of course. We’re-- going north.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Loralei [Lor]: “It’s all right. [Whispers] Crazy.” Uris: “We need to get going.” Lor: “How could you do this? Uprooting us like this? I don’t understand it.” Uris: “Neither do I. Please, just listen to what I say.” Lor: “How long will you be gone? Who’ll plant our crops in the spring?” Uris: “Loralei, please-- you’ll be safe at my brother’s.” Lor: “It’s not only our well-being I’m worried about. I’m scared for you, Uris. I’ve never seen you like this.” Uris: “I’ve never felt like this. I can’t explain it. It’s just something I have to do.” Lor: “All because of a dream.” Uris: “Believe me-- I know how crazy it sounds. But I have to do it. Come on.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [ACT II] I: “No, thanks, Herc, I don’t want anything.” H: “I can’t believe _you’re_ not hungry. I mean, we’ve been walking since before dawn.” I: “Yeah, I know, I-I just feel, uh-- I feel like we gotta keep moving.” H: “Maybe you’ll-- think better on a full stomach.” I: “Wait a minute. Are you saying I’m not thinking clearly?” H: “No, I didn’t mean that. I meant-- maybe it’ll help you remember more of your dream” I: “Hercules-- you’re gonna find this hard to believe. But I’ve _never_ been so focused in my life. I mean, I really feel this is so-- right.” H: “Good-- then-- where are we going?” I: “I told you, we’re going-- ” H and I: “-- north.” H: “As long as it’s clear.” I: “Crystal.” H: “Crystal. Iolaus-- wait! Would you wait a minute?!” I’s Voice: “No, Herc-- that is fine. You know, I mean-- if you don’t wanna take me seriously, then don’t.” Tri: “Ah-h-h-h! I didn’t mean any harm. I was hungry.” H: “All ya had to do-- was ask. Come on-- there’s plenty of food. Besides-- I hate eating alone.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Tri: “Thanks.” H: “Do you have a name?” Tri: “Trinculos.” I: “Why were you sneakin’ around?!” Tri: “You can’t be too careful. The hills around here are crawling with bandits. Which way are you two headed?” H: “Oh, uh, that would be, ‘North’.” Tri: “Maybe we could travel together.” I: “No, no, no-- you see? We travel really fast.” Tri: “Fine by me. By the way, what are _your_ names?” I: “Well, this is Hercules.” Tri: “Hercules. _The_ Hercules.” H: “Uh, yeah. And this is-- Iolaus-- _the_ Iolaus.” Tri: “Who? Pleased to meet you.” H: “Pleasure. Iolaus. Frined of yours?” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Uris: “They’ve seen us. Hurry.” Soldiers’ Voices: “There they are!” “Get them!” Uris: “Get to my brother’s!” Lor: “No, I won’t leave you!” Uris: “Go!” Soldiers’ Voices: “They won’t get away now!” “Go on!” “Easy pickin’s!” [Fight] I: “Herc! Behind ja [sic]!” H: “Must’ve meant those two.” Captain [Cap]: “Yah!” Soldier’s Voice: “Let’s get out of here!” H: “Everywhere we go.” I: “Yeah.” Soldier’s Voice: “Oh, my aching back!” H: “You all right?” Uris: “Yeah, I’m fine. My family?” Tri: “They’re over here.” I [Snorts]: “I wondered where _you’d_ got to.” Tri: “It wasn’t my fight! I don’t stick my neck out for anyone.” H: “Yeah. Ah, so-- I-I-I’m sorry-- I don’t know your name.” Uris: “Uris.” H: “Uris-- why were the soldiers after you?” Lor: “He wanted our baby. Another traveller warned us.” I: “What do they want your baby for?” Uris: “King Polonius-- has ordered all babies under the age of one to be rounded up and taken to the palace.” Lor: “He says it’s for a census, but we don’t believe that.” H: “Aah, it does seem a bit strange, doesn’t it?” Uris: “Ah-- look-- thank you-- but we’ve gotta get going.” H: “Oh-- wait. Where are you headed?” Uris: “Um-- north.” H: “E-- excuse me. May I? This is getting really-- weird.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [ACT III] H: “So-- you’ve had the same dream.” Lor: “That’s all he can talk about.” Uris: “I was dropping my family off at my brother’s. It’s a little out of the way. But it’s outside the Bethos Province-- and they’ll be safe there.” H: “Maybe-- we should go with you, in case you run into more soldiers.” I: “Herc-- ” H: “Iolaus-- I--I know your dream is important to you, but we’re talking-- children-- babies at risk here.” I: “Yeah-- yeah, you’re right. I know.” H: “We should find out what Polonius is up to.” Tri: “Now, hold on here. Like I said, I don’t fight anyone else’s battles. This baby business-- ” I: “Then you’ll just have to get used to travelling this bandit-filled road on your own, pal.” H: “No. Look, there’s-- no reason for all of us to escort Uris’ family. Why don’t you go on ahead and-- see what you can find out. And we’ll meet up at-- at-- Kasi.” I: “You sure?” H: “Yeah.” I: “OK-- Kasi.” Tri: “I’m-- going with him.” H: “Fine.” Tri: “Hey, wait for me!” H: “All right-- let’s go.” Uris: “You and the baby will be safe.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Cap: “Sire-- Hercules is in the province.” Pol: “Hercules? Where?” Cap: “At a border town. My men were pursuing fleeing families-- and there was a small skirmish.” Mal: “What about those fleeing families? Did you stop them?” Cap: “All but one, my lady-- but the rest-- ” Mal [Interrupts]: “If I were the captain of the guards-- and my king made a request of me-- I should think that I’d do all in my power to keep my king-- happy. I would make it my life’s task-- to take my well-paid soldiers and _seal_ the borders. I might even send my elite cavalry unit into the next province-- to seek out any families who might have gotten away.” Cap: “Begging my lady’s pardon-- ” Mal: “And I would do these things-- as quickly as humanly-- possible.” Cap: “Yes, my lady.” Mal: “You look worried. You should be relishing the thought of gaining your revenge after the humiliation Hercules heaped on you at Kasi.” Pol: “My love-- Hercules is a most formidable-- ” Ma [Interrupts]l: “He’s _one_ man! You have command over thousands. Polonius-- we waited so long for this-- an heir to pass on our kingdom to. We can’t let this slip away from us now-- can we?” Pol: “You’re right, my love.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Uris: “You’ll be safe here. Remo-- take good care of them.” Remo: “OK.” Lor: “He’s hungry.” Remo’s Voice: “I think you’re right.” Lor: “You’d better go.” Remo’s Voice: “Here’s your son.” H: “Uris-- I-- I know it’s not my place. But-- if you’re having such a hard time leaving your family behind-- are you sure you’re doing the right thing?” Uris: “No-- I’m just sure it’s something I have to do.” Lor [Whispers]: “I love you.” Uris: “We better go.” H [Sighs]: “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure he gets home to you safely.” Lor: “Thank you.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Tri: “What are you in such a hurry for?” I: “You should know. You had the same dream.” Tri: “I didn’t have any dream.” I: “Yeah? What happened to your hands?” Tri: “I don’t know. Look, everybody has nightmares. I don’t believe in all that spells and curses stuff.” I: “Well, I don’t think this dream has got anything to do with spells or curses.” Tri: “Then what was it about?” I: “What do you care?! You didn’t have it!” Tri: “I’m just curious. What did you see in your dream?” I: “OK, I saw this-- this rock-- like a--like a signpost pointing somewhere, and, uh-- oh, and these glowing coals, like the-- the _baleful_ eyes of some hideous monster.” Tri: “Yeah? Well, like I said, everybody has nightmares.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “Come on-- pick it up.” Tri: “Hey-- what’s the rush? Wait for me?!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Uris: “I’ve never left home before.” H: “Having second thoughts?” Uris: “Huh. I feel like I should be with them. But something-- keeps urging me on.” H: “If it makes you feel any better, Iolaus has the same obsession. And he’s one of the most-- sensible people I know-- most of the time.” Uris: “We had the same dream.” H: “Well-- something very similar. He can’t remember all of it-- but it keeps-- driving him forward.” Uris: “I know. That’s the torment of it.” H: “Well, what about you? I mean, do you remember any of your dream?” Uris: “Only bits and pieces. I can see an old, gnarled tree-- almost like it’s giving me directions.” H: “Like a-- signpost.” Uris: “Sort of. And I get this feeling-- that I’m gonna be a part of something important-- very important-- me, a poor peasant farmer from Thessaly. Who’d have thought?” H: “It’s not so surprising. Money isn’t a measure of a man’s worth.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Soldiers’ Voices: “Round up the mothers and infants!” “Come on!” Woman: “Quick! Hide!” Soldiers’ Voices: “Give me that baby!” “Hand it over!” Woman: “Hide!” Soldier: “Where’s that baby?! Give me that!” Woman: “No! No! No! No! My baby! Where are you taking me?!” Girl: “Mommy. Mommy.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “You got here fast.” H: “Find out anything?” I: “It’s like-- Uris says. Polonius’ men are rounding up every boy under the age of one. They swept through here this morning.” Uris: “The infants?” I: “Gone.” H’s Voice: “What direction?” I: “North-- toward Tulosa.” H: “Well, we have to catch up to them.” Tri: “They have a head start _and_ they’re on horseback.” H: “Is there a shortcut.” Uris: “Over the mountains-- but it’s rough going.” H: “Well, it’s never stopped us before.” I: “Nope. Come on.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “What’s wrong?” Uris: “That tree.” I: “Yeah-- it was in my dream, too. This must be the right direction.” Tri: “Are we going? Or not?” Uris: “Come on, Trinculos. Admit you saw the tree, too.” Tri’s Voice: “I admit nothin’. I don’t wanna get involved.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Soldiers: “Out of the way! Get out of the way!” “Move aside!” Woman: “-- before someone get hurt.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Pol: “Have you made the sacrifice to Hera? And her response?” Mal: “She’ll help us.” Pol: “Thank the gods.” Mal: “But only with Hercules. The infants are our problem.” Pol: “Then the oracle was right.” Mal: “Polonius-- you worry too much. With Hera on our side-- you’re going to be king for a long, long time. You don’t doubt her powers, do you?” Pol [Laughing]: “No! I just want some proof of her-- intentions! Some-- !” Mal: “Great Hera! Show those who doubt!” Pol: “Soldiers! I don’t need more warriors. I’ve enough at my command.” Mal: “these aren’t just _any_ soldiers. Captain-- who’s your best man?” Cap: “Go-- show her.” Man’s Voice: “By the gods!” Mal: “Maybe _I_ should be an oracle-- because I foresee a good year for us, Polonius. You’ll have an heir to your throne-- and your revenge-- on Hercules.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [ACT IV] I’s Voice: “You think there’d be an easier way.” Tri’s Voice: “I don’t see why you’re in such a hurry.” Uris’ Voice: “Stop complaining. That’s all you do.” Tri: “Busting our hump to get to Tuloser [sic]. All it’ll get us is a fight with Polonius’’ soldiers.” H: “At least we’ll have the element of surprise.” Tri: “You’ll have it. I don’t risk my life for anyone. Besides, I have to be somewhere.” Uris: “Hey! Watch out!” Tri: “Keep your shirt on-- pig feeder.” H: “Hey, hey! We don’t have time for this.” Uris: “What do you got against farmers, anyway?!” Tri: “I used to be one-- before I wised up.” Uris [Sighs]: “I guess he doesn’t wanna be friends.” I: “These guys.” H: “Yeah. Oh, Iolaus, uh-- I still don’t-- understand this dream, but-- whatever it is, I just wanna let you know that I’m-- I’m here-- to help.” I: “Thanks, Hercules.” [Laughs] ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Tri: “Company could be better.” Uris: “My thoughts, exactly.” I: “Would both of you just-- stay quiet?” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Woman: “Please don’t take my baby.” H: “It’s OK. I’m Hercules. We’re here to protect you from Polonius’ men. Come on. It’s OK.” Woman: “Thank you. Thank you.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Uris: “That’s everyone.” H: “All right. Let’s get them into the hills.” Uris: “You sure they’ll be all right?” I: “Yeah, there are caves in those hills. With food and shelter, they’ll be safe for a couple of days, at least.” Tri: “And after that?” H: “We try to keep _one_ step ahead of them. What’s the next village?” Uris: “Vilos.” H: “Let’s go.” Voice: “All right.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Pol: “I don’t like this business-- ” Mal: “Trust me. My plan will work.” Pol: “It had better.” Cap: “Your Highness-- things are going well. We have almost two dozen infants _and_ mothers-- in the castle dungeon.” Pol: “And-- ?” Cap: “And-- we-- still haven’t captured the family that eluded us at the border.” Mal: “And?” Cap: “And-- we’re having problems in the southern part of the province. Hercules must have heard of our plan. He evacuated the villages at Tulosa, Vilos, and Leurissa-- before my soldiers got there.” Pol: “Hercules-- how? Your men were on horseback.” Cap: “Sire, the hostages slowed us down.” Pol: “No excuses! I want that family. Take your cavalry-- and track them down. And I want Hercules’ head on a pike-- now!” Cap: “Yes, Sire.” Mal: “_That_ won’t be necessary.” Cap: “My queen?” Mal: “He’s coming-- to us. All we have to do is to make sure he knows we’re holding the infants in our castle. A clever trap by your soldiers-- and Hera’s men will roast Hercules-- like venison.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “I can’t believe that took so long.” Uris: “At least the babies are safe for a while, anyway.” H [Sighs]: “I know everyone is tired, but we have to keep moving.” Tri: “Why? We’re not gonna do anyone any good if we collapse from exhaustion. Besides-- we can’t save _all_ the babies.” H: “Well, we can try, can’t we?” I: “What are you doing?” Tri: “It’s nothin’.” I: “No, no, no. I’ve seen this. What is it?” Tri: “I”m tellin’ ya. It’s nothin’.” Uris: “This should be-- like this.” Tri: “What do you mean, ‘Should be’? You’ve seen it too?” Uris: “In my dream. More like a sword.” I: “Yeah. And look. Two baleful eyes-- set in gold. It looked-- regal.” Tri: “All right, I saw it too. So what?” H: “So, you’ve all had the same dream. And you’re all goin’ to the same place, for the same reason.” Tri: “But _what_ place?” H: “I don’t know. It’s just-- this dream has been guiding you all northward, right? The last town north of here is Bethos.” I: “Then we _are_ going in the right direction.” Tri: “Whoa! Hold on here. You’re talkin’ crazy. You’re gonna walk _right_ into Polonius’ palace-- past all his guards, and-and soldiers? Count me out.” H: “I’m not so sure you can count yourself out. See, you’re a part of this whether you want to be or not. You’ve all had the same-- calling.” Tri: “A collective misfortune. Thanks, guys, but I’ve got a career.” H: “So I can see.” Tri: “Nobody try and stop me.” Uris: “Shouldn’t we try to bring him back?” I: “Yeah-- especially since you think he should be with us.” H: “Aah, that’s something he’ll have to decide for himself. Let’s get out of here.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Mal: “You look frustrated, Polonius. What’s the mother?” Pol: “The captain and I have been interrogating the new mothers for the past three hours. They either can’t-- or won’t tell us which one of them gave birth to the new king.” Mal: “That is unfortunate.” Pol: “Well, how will we know which baby to kill?” Mal: “It’s really very simple. Kill them all.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “I’ve never seen a village so quiet.” Uris: “Where is everyone?” I: “You’re expecting a fanfare?” Uris: “I didn’t expect it to be deserted.” H: “It might not be. Keep your eyes open.” Soldier: “Ah-h-h-h-h-h!” Tri: “Hi!” H: “I’m glad you decided to rejoin us.” Tri: “You were right. I didn’t have a choice. Whatever this is about-- it’s too big to walk away from.” H: “Let’s go.” Uris: “Welcome back.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Pol: “So? This is the one Hercules helped escape.” Cap: “Yes, your Majesty.” Mal: “And why are you so special that the son of Zeus takes it upon himself to spare your child?” Lor: “I-- uh-- I don’t know, my lady. Please-- can I see my baby?” Mal: “Don’t know-- or won’t tell?” Lor: “I don’t know, my lady! I swear!” Mal: “It doesn’t matter.” Cap: “My king. My queen. Hercules has entered the city.” Pol: “Your men are ready?” Cap: “Yes, your Majesty.” Mal: “No-- it doesn’t matter-- at all.” Lor: “No! No! No-o-o-o! Please! I just wanna see my baby!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “You thinking what I’m thinking?” I: “Yep.” Uris: “You figure we’re heading for a trap?” I: “Wouldn’t be the first time.” H: “Come on, then. We don’t wanna disappoint the king. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Pol: “Hercules! Welcome to Bethos.” H: “Where are the children, Polonius?” Pol: “So, this isn’t a social visit?” H: “Where are they?!” Pol: “Where you can’t get them-- unless, of course-- you wanna go through them? Oh, and Uris-- your wife says to tell you that she loves you.” Uris: “You black-hearted pig!” Mal: “Not a proper way to address your king? And he will remain your king-- for a long time.” H: “Not after this, he won’t.” Pol: “Kill them all!” [Fight] H: “Ah-h-h-h-h-h! Ah-h-h-h-h! Interesting.” Uris: “This is more my style-- like a pitchfork!” H: “Ah-h-h-h! Ah-h-h-h! Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h! Ah-h-h-h! Wah-h-h-h!” Tri: “Uris!” Mal: “No-o-o-o-o-o!” Uris: “I thought you didn’t stick your neck out for anyone.” Tri: “I didn’t have a choice.” I: “Wah-h-h!” H: “Let’s go find your family.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- Lor: “Uris-- Daddy’s here.” Mal: “You forget-- I carry the heir to Polonius’ throne in my womb.” H: “And you forget the laws of succession in Bethos. If the king dies without a living male heir-- the people may elect their next ruler.” I: “I think you’re a couple ’a months too short. Have a happy exile. Hasta la vista, baby. Well-- that’s it. That’s-- what we were-- supposed to do.” Tri: “I have to admit. Felt pretty good-- ” I: “Hmm.” Tri: “-- saving all those children.” Uris: “Yeah-- but I’m not sure that that’s the end of it.” H: “Me, neither. Take a look.” I: “Hercules-- this is my dream. You-- and that star.” H: “Then maybe you should follow it.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Tri: “This is what the dream was all about.” Uris: “It’s true. I can feel it. It’s a sense of calm-- and peace.” I: “What?” H: “Just a hunch-- but somehow, I believe that what you’re about to witness is-- bigger and-- more important than anything we’ve ever done.” Tri: “Let’s go.” I: “Gonna come with us?” H: “No. Go on. I’ll-- I’ll be there.” I [Whispers]: “OK.” Tri: “Such a feeling of peace.” Uris: “Yes-- peace-- and friendship.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------
