Nah, we’re model citizens.” I: “And, uh-- we still get a group discount-- all right?” Kora: “Is Cheiron gonna be here?” Boys: “Yeah.” “No.” “Maybe.” Lilith [Lil]: “Uh-- we don’t know yet.” Kora: “Well, I’m gonna need at least one responsible adult here.” H: “Uh-- just give us a second?” Ja: “Who do we got?” I: “Fiducius. He’s the only one around.” I: “Come on. He’s the world’s biggest party-pooper.” Ja: “Well, that automatically qualifies him as an adult.” H: “All right. It’s settled, then.” Lil: “We’ll bring Fiducius.” Kora: “Fine-- you gonna be helping out, Curly?” I: “Oh, I’m gonna be-- ” Ja: “If he says yes, does that have any bearing on our deal?” Kora: “Well, I’ll need a larger security deposit.” H: “I’m telling you guys, this is gonna be a day that we will never, ever forget.” Neolun [Neo]: “The boss is right. This couldn’t be easier. While the toy soldiers are here partying-- we’ll be at the academy, stealing all the tuition money.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Boy’s Voice: “Hey, guys. How are ya?” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fiducius [Fid]: “This seems like an awful lot for food.” H: “We made a deal for 36 dinars. That’s good.” Fid: “37. No, not 37-- where was I? Um-- twe-twenty-- ” All: “24.” Fid: “I’ll have to start over.” All: [Moaning] Fid: “One.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Neo: “OK, boss-- everyone’s in position.” Cratus: “Good. Nobody moves until I give the signal.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Lil: [Humming] Fid: “Ten.” Ja: “This is gonna take forever.” Fid: “Eleven.” H: “Lilith, listen-- can you go tell the others to start for Kora’s? We’ll meet ‘em there, all right?” Lil: “OK.” Fid: “Twelve.” H: “Thank you. Iolaus-- just, uh-- ” Fid [In background]: “Thirteen.” H: “-- keep Fiducius counting, all right? And whatever you do-- ” Fid [In background]: “Fourteen.” H: “-- don’t let him start over, again. OK?” Fid [In background]: “Fifteen.” Ja: “Let’s get the rest of the survival kits we hid in the stables.” Fid [In background]: “Sixteen.” H: “All right.” Fid: “Seventeen.” I: “Eighteen-- eighteen.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Lil: “OK, guys, listen up. You go ahead to Kora’s. We’ll see ya there.” Boy’s Voice: “Let’s go!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cratus [Clears throat]: “Oh, we didn’t mean to startle you. We’re looking for a friend of ours-- Iolaus?” Lil: “He’s inside. I’ll get him for you.” Cratus: “Oh, no. Oh, we’d much rather this were a surprise.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- H: “Whoa, whoa.” Ja: “Who are those guys? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fid: “22.” Cratus’ Voice: “Hello?” Fid: “I better see who that is.” I: “Ah, no, no, no! You keep counting. 22.” Fid: “Twenty-- three.” I: “Cratus.” Cratus: “Iolaus, old buddy.” I: “Hey, how you doin’?” Cratus: “Good.” I: “Keepin’ out of trouble?” Cratus: “Hmm-- of course.” I: “So, um-- so, what’re ya doin here?” Cratus: “Call it-- a reunion-- of the old gang.” I: “Huh?” Lil: “Iolaus-- what’s up with your friends?” Cratus: “Meletus-- saddle up their horses.” Meletus: “Yes, Cratus.” Cratus: “We’ll be leaving soon.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- H: “The Loax-- their the most dangerous gang of thieves around. Iolaus used to run with them.” Ja: “Well, what are they doing here? There’s nothin’ to steal here. There’s just-- ” Ja and H: “Tuition money.” H: “Of course. Cheiron’s back at his village. We’re supposed to be at Kora’s with the cadets.” Ja: “They’re stealin’ our money. Let’s take ‘em!” H: “Whoa, hold on a second. Listen-- you’re forgetting, we still got Lilith and Iolaus in there? We push these guys too far-- we don’t know what they’ll do.” Ja: “I’ll run after the cadets-- send one to get the magtistrate-- and come back with the rest.” H: “All right. Perfect. I’ll stall ‘em.” Ja: “How’re you gonna do that? You’re all alone.” H: “Yeah, well-- they don’t know that. Listen-- good luck.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ACT I] Meletus: “Ah, this medallion’s gotta be worth somethin’.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cratus: “Tie them up and gag ‘em.” Lil: “What? What are you-- ?!” I: “Cratus, what are you doing?! These are my friends!” Cratus: “Oh, what a shame. I thought _we_ were your friends. Tie up Iolaus, too.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- H: “Bye-bye.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cratus: “The horses! You stay here with the money! Bring him with us!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Neo: “Meletus! What’re you doing?!” Cratus: “I got it covered. By the time the magistrate gets here, we’ll be long gone.” I: “Did you plan on them?” Neo: “Boss-- let’s get out of here.” Cratus: “Not without the money. They’re just a bunch ‘a wannabe warriors. Inside! Now! Move it!” Ja: “Spread out!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cratus: “Post somebody at every opening!” Neo: “OK.” Cratus: “Move!” Neo: “Cover every opening! Go! Go! Move!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- I: “Hey, uh, you do know that bunch of wannabe warriors is led by Jason. Jason, as in the crown-prince-of-Corinth-- Jason?” Neo: “Boss-- maybe we should talk this over.” Cratus: “No. Jason-- can you hear me? I got hostages in here. If you don’t want any of them hurt-- you won’t do anything foolish.” Cadet: “We should attack now, beofe they fortify their positions.” Ja: “No-- we can’t afford to rush in. All right! We’re not comin’ in!” Cratus: “No tricks. Stay where we can see you.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Neo: “This was supposed to be easy! Hit the academy while the students were at Kora’s-- !” I: “And now, you’re trapped in here.” Cratus: “Stay cool. We just leave a little later than planned.” Neo: “Oh, and how’re we suppossed to do that?!” Cratus: “I’m workin’ on it. OK-- post Guillen as a lookout. He’s our best archer. Take the girl to the dining hall. Put the old man in the dorm. He-- stays with me.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Thieves: “Get in there.” “Get another gag.” “Quiet.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ja: “What’d you see?” Cadet: “Just what you thought. They’re moving the hostages to different rooms.” Ja: “Ahh-- smart move. Makes it impossible to rush ‘em. We wait. Hurry up, Hercules.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- I: “What’s the matter? Your plan falling apart?” Neo: “Why don’t you keep quiet?” Cratus: “How about you tell your buddies out there-- to let us take the money and leave? Oh that way, nobody gets hurt.” I: “Well, how about you just leave?” Cratus: “How about you help us? Come on. You must have snuck out of this dump plenty ‘a times.” I: “Now-- why would I help you?” Cratus: “Remember Dorfus?” I: “Yeah, he beat me up for a whole week. I remember him.” Cratus: “Till I showed ya how to keep him from pickin’ on you. I was there for you when your old man wasn’t.” I: “Yeah, and I thank you for that. So, why are you being a jerk now?” Cratus: “Well, the way I see it-- I’m the reason they gave you the choice between goin’ to jail and joining the academy.” I: “Ah, they couldn’t prove anything.” Cratus [Interrupting]: “That’s because I didn’t talk. So I figure-- you owe me. We need a guide outta here.” I: “They are _not_ just gonna let you walk outta here.” Cratus: “We’re waiting until it’s dark-- and then we’re sneakin’ out. And you’re leadin’ us. I’m gonna check on the others. Make him comfortable.” I [Mouths]: “Hercules?” H [Whispers]: “Hi. Sh-sh-sh. Sh-sh. Listen. Over there.” I [Whispers]: “I’ve got a point.” H [Whispers]: “No-- there.” I: “I gotta p-- ? You gotta point?” Neo: “Huh?” I: “Uh-- you’ve got a point. You know, you gotta leave when it’s-- dark, so, uh-- so they won’t-- see you.” H [Whispers]: “Sh. Listen to me. The chest.” I [Mouths]: “Oh, the chest. OK, OK.” H [Whispers]: “Get them-- to walk away-- walk away.” I: “Uh-- I’m-I’m walking.” H [Whispers]: “No, no-- not you-- not you.” I: “We’re walkin’ a-away. Walking-- walking away?” Neo: “What?” I: “Uh-- y-you’ll be walking away, you know-- wh-when you’ve got the money, y-you’ll, uh-- be walking-- away.” H [Whispers]: “Get out the back.” I: “Uh-uh.” H [Whispers]: “Out the back.” I: “I got something on my back?” H [Whispers]: “No, not your back-- the back.” I: “You got something on your back?” H [Whispers]: “No, not _my_ back-- the back.” I: “You’ve got through-- through the back? Oh, through the back!” Cratus: “Through the back what?” I: “Uh-- yeah, yeah-- I was just thinkin’ out loud. You know, uh-- ways ta [sic]-- help your plan?” Cratus: “I knew you’d come around.” I: “And I was thinking, if you, uh-- want to dig an opening in the back wall, then I could-- show you where to do it. You know, if you promise-- no one gets hurt.” Cratus: “Well, you’ve got my word.” I: “OK.” Cratus: “For now.” Neo: “I know you, Cratus. There’s more to your plan than just-- crawling out the back when it’s dark.” Cratus: “Did I forget to tell you about the fire? Oh, just a little diversion to keep the cadets busy. We’ll get a few of the boys to spread a little lamp oil around.” [Laughs] ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ACT II] I: “Ya know? I’m n-not sure, but I think-- it’s over here. Yeah. No? Huh-- OK, uh-- well, maybe it’s over here somewhere.” Neo: “This-- better be the place-- or the next hole we dig-- is gonna be for you.” I: “It’s over there.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ja [Sighs]: “We’re losin’ the sun. Hercules, where are you?” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Neo: “Boss-- why don’t we divvy up the money now? That way, we can travel faster.” I: “Oh, no, no, no! I think you should keep it together! I think your chances are much better-- ” Neo [Interrupting]: “But you’re not even in the gang, anymore! Remember?!” Cratus: “Where’s the money?!” I: “I don’t know. Maybe you should check Neolun’s pockets!” Neo: “I’ve heard all I can stand from your smart mouth!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Nezus: “A little lamp oil, a torch, and before you know it, the barbecue begins.” H: “Shhh! Hiya.” Lil: “Hi. I’ll free Fiducius.” H: “No, no, no, no. Hold on a second. Go find Jason. Tell him they’re gonna set a fire out the back to cover their escape, OK? And listen-- don’t do anything until I give you the signal.” Lil: “Well, what’s the signal?” Nezus: “Help! Intruder!” H: “Go. Go!” Nezus: “Heeeellllp!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cratus: “That’s Nezus. Come on!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Neo: “She’s disappeared!” Cratus: “Just like the money. Someone’s sneaking around in here.” Nezus: “It was a cadet.” Cratus: “And you knew about it all along! So that’s why you led us out of the room.” I: “So you guys ready to give up? Huh? I mean, you don’t have the money, right?” Cratus: “We still got the old guy-- and you.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cratus: “Whoever you are-- your little game is up! We have the old guy! If you don’t want him hurt-- you’ll bring us the money, now!” Neo: “Hey-- that’s not the old guy.” Cratus: “The hostages are gettin’ away! Guillen, stop them!” Guillen: “Ha-ha.” I: “Yeah!” Lil: “Come on!” Ja’s Voice: “This way! Over here!” Cratus: “No lily-livered dirtbag of a cadet is gonna ruin my plan.” Neo: “Great! Let me turn this worm into bait.” Cratus: “Not yet. Hey, mystery man-- how ’bout a trade? Iolaus’ life for the money.” H’s Voice: “Over here-- catch me if ya can!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fid: “Can’t we wait till Cheiron gets back?” Lil: “We don’t have time. No, Hercules said he’s gonna set up a fire to cover the escape out the back.” Fid: “Oh, dear, the academy.” Ja: “Where’s Iolaus?” Lil: “He’s still inside. Hercules said to wait for the signal.” Ja: “What’s the signal?” Lil: “He didn’t have time to say.” Ja: “Be prepared to attack on my order. Stay alert!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cratus: “Find the money. It’s gotta be in a bag somewhere. You left us for this? Schoolbooks and playing warrior.” I: “Yeah, I know. How could I be so dumb? Just think of all the old ladies I could ’a robbed if I’d stayed with you.” Cratus: “Bigshot cadet-- who’s the little old lady now?” Neo: “No money!” Cratus: “Wise guy! I guess you want to watch your friend fry! Get the oil! You should have told your friend that I mean what I say. Your aching body’ll be our safe ticket out of here.” I: “Oh, come on, Cratus, you’re not gonna hurt me-- are you?” Cratus: “Nezus-- get the torch.” Nezus: “Sure, boss.” Cratus: “Time for Plan B. We won’t wait till it gets dark. Neolun-- you and the others guard the back, and cover us while we-- get this little barbecue going.” Neo: “Right.” Cratus: “Let’s see if that friend of yours cares much about a fellow cadet.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Fid: “They’re gonna burn the academy.” Ja: “That must be the signal.” Lil: “Yeah.” Ja: “Let’s go! Come on!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- Cratus: “Torch it.” H-in-Disguise: “I don’t think so.” Cratus: “What’d you say? Hercules! You’re the one who’s been running around in here!” [Fight] H: “Well-- looks like Plan B didn’t work out as you had hoped, huh?” Thief’s Voice: “Yeah, it did!” I: “Hercules-- you got this figured out, right?” H: “Oh, yes, yeah.” Cratus: “Get him.” I: “Uh, whoa. Uh-- ” Cratus: “Not so tough now, mighty Herdules.” I: “Herc, you wanna make this a short fight-- huh?!” Ja: “Wow!” I: “Herc. Herc, come on! Any time, Herc!” H: “Hey.” I: “Hey.” H: “How you doin’?” I: “Uh, good.” H: “Good.” I: “Uh-- you wanna cut me loose?” H: “Oh, yeah. Good idea.” I: “Ready?” H: “Ready.” I and H: “Go!” Ja’s Voice: “Quickly! Put out the fire!” Cadets’ Voices: “Grab water!” “Quickly!” Ja: “All right, lowlife! Call off your playmates! Do it!” Cratus: “OK! Enough! Iolaus-- you owe me. Get me out of this.” I: “Uh-- Cratus-- you taught me how to steal-- helped me out for a while. But that was a long time ago. I don’t owe you a thing.” Ja: “Get ‘em out of here!” Cratus: “Cadets.” Fid: “The tuition money! Where’d they take it?!” I: “Well, I don’t know. You better ask, uh-- ‘Mr. Cadet’ over here.” H: “Come here. Here’s your real hero.” Ja: “Well, I guess that dummy’s got a heart of gold.” [They laugh.] Fid: “Hey-- shall I take that?” H [Interrupting]: “Oh-- I don’t know, Fiducius. I think I should. Oh, yeah, I should count this out for the party.” I: “Hey, Jason-- ” Ja: “Take care of this.” I: “Hey!” Ja [?]: “Hey, man.” -----------------------------------------------------------------
