Fabulous party, I hadn't seen so much love in one room since Narcissus
he discovered himself.
Hera: (The baby grabs one of Zeus's lightning bolts) Honey, keep them away from the baby
Zeus: Oh, no harm will come, let my child have a little fun (The baby throws the lightning bolt and
break a column) Oh, hahaha, on behalf of my son I want to thank you all
your magnificent gifts.

Hera: And our gift, dear?
Zeus: Well, let's see, let's take it easy... “uh, just a little bit of drizzle… a touch of nimbostratus

Ah...
Moira1: Oh no, not that, we are not supposed to reveal the future
Hades: Oh, yeah, downtime, can I ask you a question? Did you cut your hair?
It is fabulous, has it been done? It has a touch of something that makes it stand out...
Ladies, please, my destiny is in your lovely hands
Moira2: The time to act must have arrived and then you must unleash the titans.
So, the very proud Zeus will fall and you Hades, above all, will rule.
Hades: What?! Well, okay, okay, I'm calm, I'm fine. Sorrow, Panic, I have a
Riddle for you: How do you kill a God?
Hades: Bingo! They are immortals, so first we need to turn the little piece of heaven into

Wait!
Host: !!son!!

Host: Son...
Townie 2: it's too dangerous to be with normal people (everyone complains and
abuchean
Host: I didn't mean to hurt anyone, he's just a kid. He just doesn't control his strength.

Villager: I'm warning you, keep that monster away from here.
Host: Son, you shouldn't let the things that have been said there affect you.
Hercules: But dad is right, I am a monster. I try to fit in, I really do.
I try but I can't do it. Sometimes I feel like I don't belong in this place, as if
It should be somewhere else.
That somewhere
A voice tells me
That is my destiny
Striving
I am getting close
10
Host: Hercules, there is something your mother and I intended to tell you.
Hercules: Perosi, where did you come from... where do you live now? Why?
Did they leave it here?
Mother: This was hanging from your neck when we found you. It is the symbol of the gods.
Hercules: That's it! Don't you understand? They might have the answer! I will go to the
Temple of Zeus … a á, dad, you are the ejo es pad es ue u o desea ía pe o…
I have to know it
That is my destiny
Temple of Zeus
Zeus: Eh, eh, eh, wait boy, why the rush? After so many years, is it like this
How do you greet your father?
11
Hercules: Pa, pa...father?
Zeus: Didn't you know you had a famous father, right? Ah, surprise! You've grown up.
Oh, how I miss the precious eyes of your father... and my strong chin!
Hercules: I don't understand it, if your father... that gives you a headache...
Zeus: A god
Zeus: You wanted answers and by all the thunders, you are old enough to know the truth.
Hercules: But why did you leave me on Earth? Didn't you love me?
Zeus: Well of course, your mother and I loved you with all our hearts, but someone you
kidnapping and it made you mortal, and only the gods can live on Mount Olympus
Zeus: Hercules, if you prove to be a true hero on Earth, your divinity will be granted to you.

Zeus: Uh, stop it. What I was going to say... (calls Pegasus) hahaha surely not
You will remember Pegasus, but you met a long time ago, son.

That is my destiny 2
Hercules: I will overcome by fighting
That is my destiny
I am going to achieve it
That is my destiny
Pegasus: (nods)
Hercules: (Sees Philoctetes' backside) What's wrong little guy, are you stuck?
Filoctetes: Eh! Get lost, friend (Hercules shouts upon seeing him whole and the girls to whom
I was watching them run away) Girls! Stop, stop, come back, come back, come back! Wow!
Wait! Nymphs, I can't get them off me (a nymph hits him) oh, oh, ah...
(looks with a strange face) What's wrong with you, have you never seen a satyr?
Hercules: Uh... Can you help us? We're looking for someone named... Philotes
Hercules: !!Phil!! (Shakes hands very firmly) I'm so glad to meet you, I
I am Hercules and this is Pegasus
Philoctetes: I'm sorry dude, I can't help you (closes the door)
13
Hercules: Wait! (tears open the door) oh... I'm sorry. Why not?
Hercules: (counts the words puzzled) Hey, I have to do it, haven't you had
never a dream? A desire that pushed you to do anything?
Philoctetes: Ah... kid come in here, I want to show you something. (They enter the house and
Hercules hits himself on the head with a wooden stick) Watch out! That's part of the mast
from The Argos
Hercules: But I am not like those other guys Phil, I will reach that destiny, come I'll show you.
I will demonstrate
Hercules: Pay attention (lifts a huge rock and throws it into the sea, very far away)
Philoctetes: Santa He a... maybe yes... No, no, no, no, wake up! (to himself, encouraging himself)
a slap in the face) I'm too old for this now
Hercules: If I do not become a true hero, I will never be able to reunite with my ...
father, Zeus
Filoctetes: Wait, Zeus is your father, huh? Hahaha Zeus, the big shot, is your dad
hahahaha Mr. Lightning, read me what's up daddy, what's happening? Hahaha (let me know)

Philoctetes: Please

My Last Hope (Philoctetes)
Philoctetes He just wants to be a hero, the kid iupidu
I have already gone through this drink with naive people like you.
Hercules: Are you saying that you will do it? You won't regret it, Phil.
Philoctetes: oh gods
Hercules: So when do we start? Now?
Philoctetes: What pain...
Philoctetes: Rule number 6, when you save a maiden, always treat her with care.
Hercules is here to help you. No... Rule 9... Little boy... Don't forget! It almost gets to him.
Rule 9...!!! Hey!!!

My last attempt and my last feat is

Yes
Hercules: I'm ready, I want to leave this island and fight some monsters,
rescue maidens, you know, do heroic things
Philoctetes: Well...
Philoctetes: Alright, alright, a road trip teaches the boy, let's go.
to Thebes!
Filoctetes: Many problems, it is a big and tough city, ideal for creating a yourself
reputation (a shout is heard) That sounds like D-E-A! Damsel in distress! (They descend and
they peek out from among the trees, see Megara fleeing from a centaur)
Philoctetes: Alright, remember kid, first analyze the situation, don't rush without thinking.
y... huh? Oh!
Megara: Do you know who I am? (Struggles with the laughing centaur. Hercules stands firm)
in front of them and both stay still
16
Hercules: Stop!
Hercules: Excuse me... uh... ma'am. I told you to ask him to let that young lady go...
Megara: I am a maiden, this is... that I will gather alone. May you stay safe.
good day
Hercules: eh... (Clears throat) ma'am, I'm afraid you are very involved in the
situation to realize that... (The centaur kicks him and he goes flying
backwards)
Hercules: Sword, okay, okay... I will show you, you will see, whatever you value is worth its worth!
(he aims at a fish. The centaur laughs and punches him while Meg

Philoctetes: That's it! Not a bad boy! I wasn't exactly thinking about that, but it's not
bad
Hercules: Oh wow, I'm really sorry (he picks her up and sits her on a branch) It has been
stupid
Megara: yes
Hercules: excuse me (the centaur returns, they fight and Hercules wins)
Philoctetes: What a question, of course it's authentic... uoh (arranging hair) and
By the way princess, I am one too.
17
Filoctetes: Don't worry rookie, you can make mistakes like that in the minor decathlons but
this, it's the first division!
Philoctetes: Next time, don't let your guard down for a pair of seductive eyes! It's what
What I always tell you, you must not lose focus (Hercules is going towards Megara,
I want to show you... Pegasus and fil are angry)
Mega a: Mega a, just like the friends of the Mega line would say if they had them... well! Do you
Did they give any name besides all those undulating pectorals?
Megara: Fool with helmets? Men, you know, think that a no is a yes and that
Get lost means take me, I am yours (Hercules and Pegasus look confused)
calm down, the little guy will explain it to you later. Well, thanks for everything Herc, it has been a
true pleasure
Hercules: Wait, can we take her somewhere? (Pegasus flees to the top of a tree)
Megara: I will be fine, I'm already grown up, I can even tie my sandals by myself. Goodbye
muscular
Hercules: goodbye... ua do has left It's... incredible, don't you think Fil?
(Megara ventures into the forest, which becomes more gloomy, and is scared to see
two little animals

Megara: Oh how cute, a pair of rodents looking for a theme park (ironic)
Hades: Meg...
Hades: Meg, my little flower my bird my little nutmeg, what has happened?
Exactly here? I thought you were going to convince the river guardian to join me.
team in the rebellion here you have if... guardian of the river
Hades: Well then, instead of subtracting two years from your sentence, I'm going to add some more.
Done? Fit it in with art
Panic: Hercules... oh... why does that name sound familiar to me?
Megara: Hercules
Hades: ah!
Megara: I came from a big innocent farmer, but I figured him out in no time.
Musa
Pena: I notice, does the hero of that myth have to do with that which was spoken…?
Hades: What did you do to him, huh? More dead than our grandmother, wasn't he?
your exact terms?
19
Panic: Of course, you'll see Hercules, it's a name that has become very trendy.
Pena: Do you remember how a century ago half of the children were named Fulano and all
the girls Mengana?
Hades: This was about to gather the shadows... but the last light that could
ruin it for me,!!! he strolls through the forest at his leisure!!!
Pena: Wait, wait, big guy, we can still put a stop to him.
Panic: That's right, at least we made him mortal and that's already an achievement, isn't it?
Hades: Uh... fortunately for you three, there is still time to correct that.
tremendous oversight, and this time, you will not fail
Philoctetes: One city, a million problems. Thebes, the only one, the very great
olive. If you succeed there, you will succeed anywhere. Stay close, boy, this...
the city turns out to be dangerous
Philoctetes: I walk here! Do you see it? I'm telling you, crazy people (voices from the market can be heard)
in the background
Ve dedo : Hey friend... do you want to buy a Solex? (the trench coat opens and it has many
solar clocks
Loco: The end of the world is coming! Can you feel it?
Filoctetes: Yes, yes... joys for the breath, yes, I knew it from the bottom... your fixed idea...
be careful, don't look anyone in the eyes, these people are crazy and it’s because they live in a
city with a lot of confusion, trust my boy, you are precisely what they need.
In a city fountain, Hercules and Phil approach and hear the conversation of some
villagers
20
Woman1: But before the floods
Woman1: Of course! Thebes has gone down the drain in a short time.
Man3: Tell me about it, it seems like every time I turn around there is something new.
monster sowing terror
Man1: We only need a plague of locusts (A cricket appears and scares them.
they shout
Hercules: "O Hercules... it turns out that I'm... a hero (everyone laughs)
Man3: Don't tell me, have you saved any city yet?
Man2: Listen to him, he is just another opportunistic troublemaker, just what we needed.
Come on
Philoctetes: You don't understand, empty heads! This boy is a genuine article!
Man1: Eh... isn't that the goat man who trained Achilles?
Man2: Yes, you're right, he did a great job with those heels, but you left a
piece! Hahahaha
Philoctetes: I'll give you a heel right now! (He gives him a horn) I'm going to erase that.
smile from the face
Filoctetes: It will come to you, you just need some catastrophe or some disaster.
Hercules: Meg?
Megara: Oh, outside, two little ones were playing in the canyon and fell some
rocks, a terrible landslide, are trapped
Hercules: Let's go! (He grabs Meg and puts her on Pegasus)
Megara: No... I'm terribly afraid of heights! (Pegasus takes off and laughs)
Filoctetes: "It has remained here tied to the tree following the path... this is far from the tree..."
oh, I have a butt full of lint.
Megara: I will be fine, just let me down before I ruin the upholstery.
Child1: We can't hold on much longer, get us out before we're crushed.
(Hercules lifts the stone that is blocking their exit and the children come out)
Child2: I certainly do! (The two move away and reach an area where Hades is waiting for them)
eating worms as if they were popcorn)
Hades: And hey! Always in the spotlight our female protagonist, what a sweetheart,
what a doll
Megara: Big guy, get out of here before it's too late
Hercules: Fil! I've been great, they've even applauded me! More or less (you can hear a
noise in the cave
Filoctetes: I hate to ruin your party, kid, but those are not applause (The snake comes out)

Philoctetes: Two words, every man for himself! (Runs away and people scream)
Philoctetes: That's it, surround him, dance for him, watch his teeth, watch his teeth!! Keep going
Moving on, let's go, hit with the left! Ah... your other left!! (They fight and at
In the end, Hercules cuts off his head from the inside. The people applaud) Very good! Very
Good! You are good, yes sir
Hercules: 6
Hades: Chi os, hi os... relax. The first half has just ended.

[Battlefield, the serpent recomposes itself]
Philoctetes: I don't like that sound (3 heads appear) absolutely not! (Hercules
call Pegasus and keep cutting heads, but for each one cut, 3 more appear
Do you want to stop beheading already?
Hades: Game, set, match (Hercules exits hand in hand with the beast. The crowd cheers)
Hercules: Phil, you have to admit it, that was pretty heroic.
Philoctetes: You did it, kid! You did it! You won by a few heads.
Eeeeiiieaaah!!
Blessing! Hercules champion!

Hades: I have 24 hours to deal with that parasite or all the plan I've been
Plotting for 18 years will vanish like smoke and you are wearing its
garbage (Panic sets in with a Hercules drink)
25
Panic: Do you want?
Hades: AH!!!
Megara: (Laughing) I would say your game is over, the strongman hits all your balls
curves
Hades: oh... haha it seems like it got stuck because I threw the grapes at it
adequate Meg, hi tesoio...
Hades: It must have a weakness, because everyone has weaknesses. You'll see,
for Pandora it was the box, for the Trojans betting on the wrong horse, only
we have to find the strongman's one
Hades: Even as a baby he was defeated, I need someone who knows... t ata le o o ho e
Hades: Well, you know that’s fine because... heh, that was the first thing he put you in this.
It's a bind, isn't it? You sold your soul to save your boyfriend's life, and how did you...
Did that hurt you? Escaping with a spider... yes, it hurt you a lot, didn't it?
Meg?
Hades: That's exactly why I think you're going to jump at my new offer. You give me
the key to overcoming prodigious breath and I will return to you what you desire the most in
the entire cosmos, your freedom
Megara: oh
Hercules: You should have been there father, I bruised the minotaur, I caught the lion! Such
As Fil told me, I analyzed the situation, controlled my strength, and shook him! Hahaha the audience
went crazy thank you, thank you (Pretending to calm the people)
Zeus: hahaha you do well son, you make your father proud
Hercules: I'm glad to hear you say that, father, I've been waiting for this day for a long time.
26
Zeus: You have done divinely, really my son, only that you are not ready yet.
you have proven to be a true hero
Hercules: But father, I have defeated all the monsters that have come before me,
I am the most famous person in all of Greece, I am an action figure!
Zeus: I'm afraid that being famous is not the same as being a true hero.

Hercules: Film...
Filoctetes: and at three you have to get a belt from some amazons.
Hercules: Phil, tell me and for what?! (He throws the shield and moves the painter, who gets angry)
Filoctetes: Don't get angry, friend (the painter throws the palette and leaves) Why do you ask?
Why? You want to go to Olympus, don't you?

Hercules: I have put all my effort into it.
Philoctetes: Listen to me, kid, I have seen them all and I tell you, as certain as that

Megara: I don't care, I'm not going to help you harm him.
Hades: Ah, I can't believe you are acting like this over a boy
Hades: Please...
Megara: Moreover, oh highness, you cannot defeat him. He has no weaknesses, he is going to...
Hades: I hope you know... if you want, Meg. Honestly, I hope you know if you want.
Hercules: Oh Phil, this has been the greatest day of my life, I can't stop thinking about it.

Megara: Don't listen to him! (She covers his mouth, Hercules is going to grab her but Hades takes her away)
Hades: This is the deal, you give up your strength for about 24 hours, the next
24 hours and Meg will be free as a bird and will be safe. A dance, a kiss, a caress.
And we go home happy, what do you say? Let's go.
Hades: No, well it's a possibility, if it happens you know it's war, but what do you want
What can I say, also what do you owe them, huh? It's not Meg, little chick, is it?
