"Hmm?" "I didn't realize I had an audience." "Ah, you're Orpheus, right?" "I think I've seen you play at Kora's." "And you're one of the cadets from the academy." "Ah, Hercules nice to meet ya." "And that's a nice-sounding oulos you got there." "You make it yourself?" "No, it was a gift, actually, from Bacchus." "From Bacchus?" "Who's Bacchus?" "You don't know him?" "Hmm." "Oh, you have to meet him." "Bacchus is the god of good times." "With Bacchus on your side, you can kiss your cares goodbye." "Come on, I'll take you to him." "Oh, I don't know, I kind of gotta get back to the academy, you know?" "School, so." "Come on, you can go to the academy anytime." "Uh, I'll see ya later, okay?" "How often do ya get to meet one of the sons of Zeus?" "Bacchus is the son of Zeus?" "Here we are." "Ohh." "Orpheus, when you're right, you're right." "This place is amazing." "So, when do I get to meet Bacchus?" "Right now." "In an age of light and darkness," "Zeus, king of the gods, ruled the universe." "He had a son." "Half-god, half-man," "Young Hercules longs to find his place in the world, the father he's never known, and what it means to be a hero." "Before the man became legend, before the legend became myth, came the greatest adventure of all." "Bacchus?" "May I present Hercules?" "Hercules, son of Zeus." "Oh, yeah, that's me." "Welcome to our little community." "My home is your home." "After all, we are family." "You see, Zeus is my father, too." "Yeah, have you met him?" "We can discuss our celestial parent later, but right now..." "Right now, it's time Hercules got the grand tour." "Wouldn't you say, Bacchus?" "Thank you, Eurydice." "The pleasure is all mine." "Oh." "Hercules?" "Good work, Orpheus." "Hey, what's that?" "It's beautiful." "Isn't it?" "The gilded spring is said to come straight from the center of the Earth." "Don't." "Why not?" "It's poisonous." "But Bacchus says that it's so beautiful, he can't bear to cover it over." "Bacchus believes that pleasure and freedom are what all creatures should live for." "No rules." "No fears." "No regrets." "Your academy is all training and studying." "No fun." "Be one of us, Hercules." "Forever-ever-ever..." "Uh, I should get goin'." "Yeah, it's getting kind of late." "Don't go." "Join us, Hercules." "Be part of our family." "I want you to." "Thank you very much for showing me around." "I've never seen anything like it." "Please, think of these caverns as your home away from home." "When the pressures of life get too much, feel free to come here and relax." "Sure." "Yeah." "And bring your friends." "I will." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "We were so close." "We almost had him." "We... we... we're sorry, Bacchus." "If he comes back..." "When he comes back..." "He will have his friends with him." "Then we'll see how hard he is to persuade." "Ah, Hercules." "Where have you been?" "You met a girl?" "Oh!" "Yeah." "Really?" "You met a girl and you didn't tell me?" "I'm crushed, I'm heartbroken." "Hi-ya!" "Oh!" "Yeah, well, keep your guard up or that's not all that'll be broken, okay?" "Oh, Herc, come on, tell me." "Don't make me hurt you." "Okay, you two ever heard of Bacchus?" "Bacchus, oh, yeah." "He's a Cyclops, works for Ares." "No, not even close." "He's the god of good times." "His cavern's not far from here." "You know what?" "You two should really check it out." "What?" "What, you don't believe me?" "Uh, let me put it this way." "No." "Your idea of a good party?" "That's to play "Pin the Tail on the Centaur."" "Yeah, Lilith's right, Herc." "We do kind of want a second opinion." "Pft, well, fine then." "You know what, there's lots of good food there." "They got good food here." "Well, they they have food here." "And there's lots of interesting artwork." "Hey, that's what I always look for in a good party." "There's girls." "Hey, where you goin'?" "You said girls, right?" "Well, yeah." "I'm there." "Aw, man, Jas'll be mad he missed out on this, huh?" "Yeah, well, that's what he gets for going to king school, right?" " Uh huh." " All right." "Welcome back, Hercules." "And thank you for bringing your charming friends." "I've never seen anything like this before." "Really?" "Please, let me show you around." "Never fails, huh?" "Chicks always dig guys with horns." "May I have this dance?" "Ooh." "I love you." "Oh, Eurydice." " Hi." " Hi." "Uh." "Come dance." "Uh, thanks." "I'm really glad you came back." "Oh, thanks, me too." "Yes." "There's something wrong." "Iolaus." "We gotta get outta here." "Oh, oh, Herc, come on." "For once, you were right about a party, you know?" "Come on, ease up, man." "I'm telling you, I got a funny feeling about this and we gotta go, now, okay?" " Okay." " Okay." " Let's go." " Get Lilith." "I'm sorry." "No!" "Hear me, my Bacchae, after them!" "Stop them, my Bacchae!" "If you don't bring them back, you'll all suffer!" "That goes for you too, Orpheus." "Your job is to get humans to fill the ranks of my Bacchae." "That is the one and only reason that you're not a Bacchae yet." "Now, go!" "They changed into wolves." "Hurry up!" "Open the gates!" "What happened?" "Uh, we just left a party that got a little too strange." "Another one of Hercules' bizarre relatives?" "Yeah, this one had horns." "Bacchus." "Yeah." "Count yourselves lucky you escaped his cult." "Cult?" "The Bacchae live for the whims of their master." "They tried to suck us into their little cult." "Legend has it that in moments of extreme excitement, the Bacchae transform into wolves." "Oh, well, that's the last time I let you pick the party." "Hey don't worry about it, okay?" "Next time I see that two-faced Orpheus, he'll be playin' that lyre with his toes." "Hmm, and so much for your new girlfriend." "Whoa, whoa!" "You okay?" "I feel woo... woozy." "The mark of the Bacchae." "Come sundown, she'll belong to Bacchus." "We'll see about that." "Doing some more recruiting, Orpheus?" "Hercules, look." "You gotta understand I had no choice." "Hey, save it." "All right, I only wanna know one thing from you." "One thing!" "How do I stop Lilith from becoming a Bacchae?" "There's no way." "She belongs to Bacchus now." "Uh." "That's not what I wanted to hear." "Only Bacchus knows the cure." "All right, all right." "Some of the Bacchae remember a story, a kind of riddle about washing your spirit clean." "Nobody knows what it means." "Well, we're going back there and you're coming with us." "The son of Zeus will be perfect for my purpose." "With him as my lieutenant," "I can use you and the other Bacchae to build an empire, an empire which you and I will share, Eurydice, once I make Hercules join us." "Give it your best shot." "Orpheus!" "Hercules." "Here's the deal." "You and me, right here, right now!" "If you win, I'll become a Bacchae, but if I win, you cure Lilith and we walk away." "I have you already." "Why should I agree to this?" "Uh, your innate sense of decency and fair play?" "Come on, unless you're afraid." "Very well, Hercules," "I could do with the exercise." "He'd better hurry up." "We're losing the sun." "What am I, alone here?" "Get him!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Grab them." "We can't let this go on." "This was supposed to be just you and Hercules!" "One-on-one!" "Life is full of disappointments." "Bite him now before the sun sets." "What are you doing?" "Stop or be destroyed!" "Eurydice, she's helping us?" "Oh, no, you don't." "Agh!" "The spring." "Wash your spirit clean." "Wash your spirit clean." "It's poisonous to you, not to us." "Lilith!" "Come on, we gotta go!" "Hurry, Herc, she's changing." "Come on." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I think so." "Uh, we should probably get going, yeah?" "Yeah." "Hey, you comin'?" "Huh?" "Come on!" "Stop them!" "You think Bacchus will go and let them live in peace?" "Ah, I don't care, just as long as they don't come back here, the crazy yellow-eyed, wolf girls." "Man, that place was not as advertised." "Think about it, lolaus." "I mean, that could've been me trapped in that cult forever." "Living my life as that monster's slave." "Well, we should know better than to let Hercules pick our parties, right?" "Hmm?" "Oh, yeah." "Sorry." "You okay?" "Yeah." "Orpheus and Eurydice will be fine." "Just great."
