Jacinda Barrett: Medea

Quotes 

• Young Iolaus : [Hercules and Iolaus spy on a pretty girl]  Where did she go?

  Medea : [she comes up behind Iolaus's and she has a knife to his's throat]  She's right behind you. Let me guess-- you thought I was drowning.

  Young Hercules : Please don't hurt him.

  Medea : Give me one good reason why I shouldn't.

  Young Hercules : Well-- he's a little misguided, but-- basically harmless.

  Young Iolaus : Oh, gee-- thanks.

  Medea : You think invading a woman's privacy is harmless?

• Medea : Who do you think you are? Oh, come on-- you gonna hit me now, too?

• Medea : Shut up! You know, how do you boys expect to kill a monster when you can't even get past me?"

• Hera : Boys will be boys.

  Medea : Hera.

  Hera : Especially when a pretty face comes along.

  Medea : Killing my mother was never a part of our agreement.

  Hera : Our agreement is whatever I say it is! And I did that for you. Your mother turned a blind eye, while your stepfather robbed you of your innocence. She deserved to die-- as much as he did.

  Medea : I hated her for letting it happen. But I never wanted her to die. I loved her.

  Hera : Never mind that. I'm the only one who can help you-- who can give you the power you want-- true power-- to destroy any man who wrongs you.

  Medea : I did what you commanded. I split Jason and Hercules apart.

  Hera : But Jason still wants to help his friends! Only together can they stop the Ghidra! You must keep him here-- until Hercules is dead! Then you will have your reward!

• Medea : Jason, let me ask you something. What's it like being a king at your age?

  Young Jason : Well, it's not so bad. I learn as I go, I guess.

  Medea : Yeah, but don't you ever feel-- I don't know-- out of place? I mean, you're so young to be cooped up in a castle.

  Young Jason : Yeah, it's not like I have a choice.

  Medea : My point, exactly. I mean, most people your age are out-- having fun, doing crazy things-- falling in love.

  Young Jason : Yeah, like you and Hercules.

  Medea : What makes you think Hercules and I are in love?

  Young Jason : Come on-- it's pretty obvious.

  Medea : If that's what you think-- then ya haven't been paying close attention. We're just friends.

  Young Jason : Just friends?

  Medea : Yeah.

  Young Jason : You sure?

  Medea : Very.

  Young Hercules : Jason! You bastard.

  Young Hercules : Jason! You bastard.
