Hercules in New York Page #7

Too bad it's a little

cloudy today.

Well, you can still see

pretty far.

I can see the whole river.

Look at that big boat

down there.

You know, Herc,

that looks like the boat

you were on.

Take a look at it, Herc,

I think it's. . .

Hey, Herc?

Where'd you go, Herc?

I have been willful.

I have been disobedient.

Mighty Zeus has more wisdom

than Hercules.

He knew better

what is best for him.

Please, Mighty Zeus, relent.

You'll be sorry.

Zeus has only to speak now

for Hercules to obey.

( thunder )

Herc?

Where'd you go, Herc?

Hey, Herc!

Herc!

H uh, strongest guy

in the world. . .

tying up with a nothing

like me.

Imagine. . .

He really made me feel

like something. . .

a half-pint like me.

I ain't never gonna

forget him.

Never.

Only, where did he go?

( jazz music )

Radio:
Don't grieve,

my friend.

I n the memory

that leaves you,

separation may have

a quiet happiness all its own.

Herc?

We are friends, you and I .

And nothing can

take that from us.

Herc?

Herc!

Where are you, Herc?

What are you doing

in my radio?

Herc. . .

It's me! It's Pretzi!

Why did you take a powder like that?

Why did you just leave?

I didn't say anything

out of line, did I?

Or do nothing?

Did I , Herc?

I enjoyed knowing you,

my little friend.

Gee, Herc.

Ain't I never gonna

see you again?

Ain't you never

coming back?

Even for a visit?

'Cause if you ain't,

it's sure gonna be

lonesome for me again.

Herc, we really did

all them things, didn't we?

I didn't just imagine

all them things, did I?

It wasn't like what

the head shrinkers call,

''wishful thinking,''

was it, Herc?

Radio:
Any time you wish me

to be with you,

all you need to do

is think of me.

and there I shall be,

in your mind

and in your heart. . .

for as long as

you want me to be,

as long as you need me.

Radio:
Due to temporary

atmospheric difficulties,

we were interrupted

in our broadcast.

We resume. . .

Herc?

Herc?

''Any time you need me,

any time you want me,

just think of me,

and I'll be there

for as long as

you want me to.''

Yeah.

I think I'll eat an apple.

And this is what I saw

on the world below.

It all sounds

revoltingly noisy.

Leave me, now.

I would think

on what I've been told.

You, too, my love.

( screaming )

( screaming continues )
