- 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?
- Young Iolaus: Where are you going?
- Young Hercules: Go and finish what I've started.
- Young Iolaus: Hold on. Hold on.
- Young Hercules: Iolaus, there's nothin' to talk about.
- Young Iolaus: Well, I think there is.
- Young Hercules: Well, what do you wanna hear, man? That I'm stupid for thinkin' I was fallin' in love with her?
- Young Iolaus: No! You took a chance-- you got burned! But that doesn't make you stupid!
- Young Hercules: I thought Jason was my friend. I can't believe he did this.
- Young Iolaus: Look-- you feel the way you feel. I can't blame you for it.
- Young Hercules: All right! So, what else do you wanna talk about?
- Young Iolaus: Okay-- Okay-- I'm gonna tell you something-- and you're not gonna like it. Sometimes, it's hard to be your friend.
- Young Hercules: What?
- Young Iolaus: Look, I'm no oracle. There are a lot of things I don't understand. But from the first day I met you-- I just _knew_ that you were destined for something the rest of us could only dream about! People like me-- and Jason-- normal people-- we'll be lucky if our names are even mentioned in the same breath as yours. And that is not always easy to live with.
- Young Hercules: Why are you defending him? If you're gonna tell me that jealousy makes people do stupid things, you can forget it-- 'cause that's no excuse.
- Young Iolaus: No, it's not...
- Young Hercules: Well, if I'm just so hard to be around, why don't you just leave?
- Young Iolaus: Cause I'm a better person for knowing you. Hey, I used to be a thief! Remember? And yeah, Jason made a mistake-- a big one! But if you could just give him half a chance-- you might be a better person for it, 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!
- Young Jason: I'm sorry. She was...
- Young Hercules: Yeah. I wanna thank you?
- Young Jason: Thank me?
- Young Hercules: For coming back. I couldn't have done it without you.
- Young Jason: Does this mean we're still friends?
- Young Hercules: Even better than before. You comin'?
- Young Jason: Right behind you.
- Young Hercules: Let's hope it doesn't snack between meals.
- Young Iolaus: You, uh-- you ever killed a monster before?
- Young Hercules: Yeah. The snake, remember? Ares' cavern?
- Young Iolaus: Maybe you should go first.
- Young Hercules: What, are you scared?
- Young Iolaus: No. Yeah.
- Young Hercules: Me, too.
- 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.
