I can't believe you're getting|so worked up about some guy.

This one is different.|He's honest and, and he's sweet.

- Please!|- He would never do anything to hurt me.

- He's a guy.|- Besides, O Oneness, you can't beat him.

He has no weaknesses.|He's gonna...

I think he does, Meg.

I truly think he does.

- Hey, Phil, what happened to you?|- Kid, we gotta talk.

Oh, Phil, I just had|the greatest day of my life.

I, I, I can't stop thinkin'|about Meg.

- She's somethin' else.|- Kid! I'm tryin' to talk to you!

Will you come down here|and listen?

Aw, how can I come down there|when I'm feelin' so up?

Gotcha!

Ah, very nice.|What I'm tryin' to say is...

That if it wasn't foryou,|I never would have met her.

Oh, I owe you big time,|little guy. I do.

Will you just knock it off|for a couple of seconds?

Rule number 38. Come on, Phil.|Keep them up there, huh?

- Phil, I got two words for ya: duck!|- Listen to me. She's...

- My dream come true?|- Not exactly.

- More beautiful than Aphrodite?|- Aside from that!

- The most wonderful...|- She's a... She's a fraud!

She's been playin' ya for a sap!

- Aw, come on. Stop kiddin' around.|- I'm not kiddin' around.

- She...|- I know you're upset about today,|but that's no reason to...

- Kid, you're missin' the point.|- The point is, I love her.

- She don't love you.|- You're crazy.

- She nothin' but a two-timin'...|- Stop it!

- No-good, lyin', schemin'...|- Shut up!

Phil. I... Oh, I'm, I'm sorry.

Okay, okay, that's it.|You won't face the truth? Fine.

Phil, wait. Where ya goin'?

I'm hoppin' the first barge outta here.|I'm goin' home.

Fine! G...

Go! I don't... I don't need you.

I thought you were gonna be|the all-time champ...

not the all-time chump.

Jeez Louise,|what got his goat, huh?

Baboom. Name is Hades,|lord of the dead.

- Hi. How ya doin'?|- Uh, not now, okay?

Hey, hey. I only need a few seconds,|and I'm a fast talker, all right?

See, I've got|this major deal in the works.|A real estate venture, if you will.

And, Herc, you little devil you.|May I call you Herc?

You seem to be constantly|getting in the way of it, huh?

- You've got the wrong guy.|- Hear me out, ya little...

Just hear me out, okay?

So I would be eternally grateful|if you would just...

take a day off from|this hero business of yours.

Jeez, I mean, monsters,|natural disasters.

- You wait a day, huh?|- You're out of your mind.

Not so fast, because, ya see,|I do have a little leverage|you might wanna know about.

- Meg!|- Don't listen, Herc...

- Let her go!|- Here's the trade-off.

You give up your strength|for about 24 hours, okay?

Say, the next 24 hours.

And Meg here is free as a bird|and safe from harm.

We dance, we kiss, we schmooze,|we carry on, we go home happy.

What do ya say? Come on.

People are... are gonna|get hurt, aren't they?

Nah! I mean, it's, you know,|it's a possibility.

It happens 'cause, you know, it's war,|but what can I tell ya?

Anyway, what do you|owe these people, huh?

Isn't Meg...|you little smoochy face you...|Isn't she more important than they are?

- Stop it!|- Isn't she?

You've gotta swear|she'll be safe from any harm.

Fine, okay.|I'll give you that one.

Meg is safe, otherwise|you get your strength right back.

Yadda, yadda. Fine print. Boilerplate.|Baboom. Okay? We're done.

What do you say we shake on it?

Hey, I really don't have,|like, time to bat this around.

I'm kind of on a schedule here.|I got plans for August. Okay?

I need an answer, like, now.|Going once, going twice...

- All right!|- Yes! We're there! Bam!

You may feel just a little queasy.|It's kind of natural.

Maybe you should sit down!

Now you know how it feels to be|just like everybody else.

Isn't it just peachy?

Oh! You'll love this.|One more thing.

Meg, babe, a deal's a deal.

You're off the hook.|And by the way, Herc,

is she not, like,|a fabulous little actress?

- Stop it.|- What do you mean?

I mean your little chickie-poo here|was working for me all the time.

- Duh.|- You're... You're lying!

- Help!|- Jeepers, mister, you're really strong.

- Couldn't have done it without you,|sugar, sweetheart, babe.|- No! It's... It's not like that.

I didn't mean to...|I-I couldn't... I... I'm so sorry.

Our hero's a zero!|Our hero's a zero!

Well, gotta blaze. There's a whole|cosmos up there waiting for me...

with, hey, my name on it.

So much for the preliminaries,|and now on to the main event!

Brothers! Titans!

Look at you in your squalid prison!

- Who put you down there?|- Zeus!

And now that I set you free...

what is the first thing|you are going to do?

- Destroy him!|- Good answer.

Crush Zeus!

Melt Zeus!

Blow him away!

Zeus!

- Uh, guys?|- Huh?

Olympus would be that way.

- Hold it, bright eye.|- Huh?

I have a special job for you,|my optic friend.

- Huh? Huh?|- Destroy Zeus!

Oh, we're in trouble!|Oh, big trouble! I gotta...

My lord and lady,|the Titans have escaped.

And they're practically|at our gates!

Sound the alarm!|Launch an immediate counterattack!

- Go! Go!|- Gone, babe.

Huh?

Ya windbag!

Boom, badda-boom!|Boom, boom!

Hercules!

Where are you?

- What can we do?|- Where is Hercules?

Oh, what are you doing?|Without your strength, you'll be killed.

- Hercules!|- There are worse things.

- Run!|- Wait! Stop!

- Hey, look! It's Hercules.|- Thank the gods! We're saved!

So, you mighty Hercules.

- Oh!|- Oh!

Easy, horsefeathers.|Whoa! Stop twitching!

Listen.|Hercules is in trouble.

We've gotta find Phil. He's the only one|who can talk some sense into him.

Get back! Blast you!

- Ooh! Chihuahua!|- Zeus!

Come on! Hury up!|We're shovin' off here!

Phil! Phil,|Hercules needs your help.

What does he need me for|when he's got friends like you?

- He won't listen to me.|- Good! He's finally learned somethin'.

Look, I know what I did was wrong,|but this isn't about me. It's about him.

If you don't help him now,|Phil, he'll die.

I need more thunderbolts!

Uh, Hephaestus has been captured,|my lord. everyone's been captured.

I've been captured.|Hey, hey, watch the glasses.

Zeusy, I'm home!

Hades! You're behind this?

You're correct, sir!

Flea!

- Hercules!|- Phil.

Come on, kid. Come on. Fight back.|Come on. You can take this bum.

- This guy's a pushover. Look at him.|- You were right all along, Phil.

- Dreams are for rookies.|- No, no, no, no, no, kid.

Givin' up is for rookies. I came back|'cause I'm not quittin' on ya.

I'm willin' to go the distance.|How about you?

Me bite off head!

Whoa, baby!

Hercules! Look out!

Meg! No!

What's happening?

H-Hades' deal is broken.

He promised I wouldn't get hurt.

Meg, why... why... why did ya...|You didn't have to...

Oh, people always|do crazy things...

when they're in love.

Oh, Meg. Meg, I... I...

Are you always this articulate?

You... You haven't got much time.|You can still stop Hades.
