Kora:  “You’re not going to get rowdy, are you?”
 
Ja:  “Us?  Rowdy?  Nah, we’re model citizens.”
 
I:  “And, uh-- we still get a group discount-- all right?”
 
Kora:  “Is Cheiron gonna be here?”
 
Boys:  “Yeah.”  “No.”  “Maybe.”
 
Lilith [Lil]:  “Uh-- we don’t know yet.”
 
Kora:  “Well, I’m gonna need at least one responsible adult
here.”
 
H:  “Uh-- just give us a second?”
 
Ja:  “Who do we got?”
 
I:  “Fiducius.  He’s the only one around.”
 
I:  “Come on.  He’s the world’s biggest party-pooper.”
 
Ja:  “Well, that automatically qualifies him as an adult.”
 
H:  “All right.  It’s settled, then.”
 
Lil:  “We’ll bring Fiducius.”
 
Kora:  “Fine-- you gonna be helping out, Curly?”
 
I:  “Oh, I’m gonna be-- ”
 
Ja:  “If he says yes, does that have any bearing on our deal?”
 
Kora:  “Well, I’ll need a larger security deposit.”
 
H:  “I’m telling you guys, this is gonna be a day that we will
never, ever forget.”
 
Neolun [Neo]: “The boss is right.  This couldn’t be easier.
While the toy soldiers are here partying-- we’ll be at the
academy, stealing all the tuition money.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Boy’s Voice:  “Hey, guys.  How are ya?”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fiducius [Fid]:  “This seems like an awful lot for food.”
 
H:  “We made a deal for 36 dinars.  That’s good.”
 
Fid:  “37.  No, not 37-- where was I?  Um-- twe-twenty-- ”
 
All:  “24.”
 
Fid:  “I’ll have to start over.”
 
All:  [Moaning]
 
Fid:  “One.”

Lil:  [Humming]
 
Fid:  “Ten.”
 
Ja:  “This is gonna take forever.”
 
Fid:  “Eleven.”
 
H:  “Lilith, listen-- can you go tell the others to start for
Kora’s?  We’ll meet ‘em there, all right?”
 
Lil:  “OK.”
 
Fid:  “Twelve.”
 
H:  “Thank you.  Iolaus-- just, uh-- ”
 
Fid [In background]:  “Thirteen.”
 
H:  “-- keep Fiducius counting, all right?  And whatever you do--
 
Fid [In background]:  “Fourteen.”
 
H:  “-- don’t let him start over, again.  OK?”
 
Fid [In background]:  “Fifteen.”
 
Ja:  “Let’s get the rest of the survival kits we hid in the
stables.”
 
Fid [In background]:  “Sixteen.”
 
H:  “All right.”
 
Fid:  “Seventeen.”
 
I:  “Eighteen-- eighteen.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Lil:  “OK, guys, listen up.  You go ahead to Kora’s.  We’ll see
ya there.”
 
Boy’s Voice:  “Let’s go!”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cratus [Clears throat]:  “Oh, we didn’t mean to startle you.
We’re looking for a friend of ours-- Iolaus?”
 
Lil:  “He’s inside.  I’ll get him for you.”
 
Cratus:  “Oh, no.  Oh, we’d much rather this were a surprise.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
H:  “Whoa, whoa.”
 
Ja:  “Who are those guys?
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fid:  “22.”
 
Cratus’ Voice:  “Hello?”
 
Fid:  “I better see who that is.”
 
I:  “Ah, no, no, no!  You keep counting.  22.”
 
Fid:  “Twenty-- three.”
 
I:  “Cratus.”
 
Cratus:  “Iolaus, old buddy.”
 
I:  “Hey, how you doin’?”
 
Cratus:  “Good.”
 
I:  “Keepin’ out of trouble?”
 
Cratus:  “Hmm-- of course.”
 
I:  “So, um-- so, what’re ya doin here?”
 
Cratus:  “Call it-- a reunion-- of the old gang.”
 
I:  “Huh?”
 
Lil:  “Iolaus-- what’s up with your friends?”
 
Cratus:  “Meletus-- saddle up their horses.”
 
Meletus:  “Yes, Cratus.”
 
Cratus:  “We’ll be leaving soon.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
H:  “The Loax-- their the most dangerous gang of thieves around.
Iolaus used to run with them.”
 
Ja:  “Well, what are they doing here?  There’s nothin’ to steal
here.  There’s just-- ”
 
Ja and H:  “Tuition money.”
 
H:  “Of course.  Cheiron’s back at his village.  We’re supposed
to be at Kora’s with the cadets.”
 
Ja:  “They’re stealin’ our money.  Let’s take ‘em!”
 
H:  “Whoa, hold on a second.  Listen-- you’re forgetting, we
still got Lilith and Iolaus in there?  We push these guys too
far-- we don’t know what they’ll do.”
 
Ja:  “I’ll run after the cadets-- send one to get the
magtistrate-- and come back with the rest.”
 
H:  “All right.  Perfect.  I’ll stall ‘em.”
 
Ja:  “How’re you gonna do that?  You’re all alone.”
 
H:  “Yeah, well-- they don’t know that.  Listen-- good luck.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[ACT I]
 
Meletus:  “Ah, this medallion’s gotta be worth somethin’.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cratus:  “Tie them up and gag ‘em.”
 
Lil:  “What?  What are you-- ?!”
 
I:  “Cratus, what are you doing?!  These are my friends!”
 
Cratus:  “Oh, what a shame.  I thought _we_ were your friends.
Tie up Iolaus, too.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
H:  “Bye-bye.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cratus:  “The horses!  You stay here with the money!  Bring him
with us!”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Neo:  “Meletus!  What’re you doing?!”
 
Cratus:  “I got it covered.  By the time the magistrate gets
here, we’ll be long gone.”
 
I:  “Did you plan on them?”
 
Neo:  “Boss-- let’s get out of here.”
 
Cratus:  “Not without the money.  They’re just a bunch ‘a wannabe
warriors.  Inside!  Now!  Move it!”
 
Ja:  “Spread out!”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cratus:  “Post somebody at every opening!”
 
Neo:  “OK.”
 
Cratus:  “Move!”
 
Neo:  “Cover every opening!  Go!  Go!  Move!”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I:  “Hey, uh, you do know that bunch of wannabe warriors is led
by Jason.  Jason, as in the crown-prince-of-Corinth-- Jason?”
 
Neo:  “Boss-- maybe we should talk this over.”
 
Cratus:  “No.  Jason-- can you hear me?  I got hostages in here.
If you don’t want any of them hurt-- you won’t do anything
foolish.”
 
Cadet:  “We should attack now, beofe they fortify their
positions.”
 
Ja:  “No-- we can’t afford to rush in.  All right!  We’re not
comin’ in!”
 
Cratus:  “No tricks.  Stay where we can see you.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Neo:  “This was supposed to be easy!  Hit the academy while the
students were at Kora’s-- !”
 
I:  “And now, you’re trapped in here.”
 
Cratus:  “Stay cool.  We just leave a little later than planned.”
 
Neo:  “Oh, and how’re we suppossed to do that?!”
 
Cratus:  “I’m workin’ on it.  OK-- post Guillen as a lookout.
He’s our best archer.  Take the girl to the dining hall.  Put the
old man in the dorm.  He-- stays with me.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thieves:  “Get in there.”  “Get another gag.”  “Quiet.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ja:  “What’d you see?”
 
Cadet:  “Just what you thought.  They’re moving the hostages to
different rooms.”
 
Ja:  “Ahh-- smart move.  Makes it impossible to rush ‘em.  We
wait.  Hurry up, Hercules.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I:  “What’s the matter?  Your plan falling apart?”
 
Neo:  “Why don’t you keep quiet?”
 
Cratus:  “How about you tell your buddies out there-- to let us
take the money and leave?  Oh that way, nobody gets hurt.”
 
I:  “Well, how about you just leave?”
 
Cratus:  “How about you help us?  Come on.  You must have snuck
out of this dump plenty ‘a times.”
 
I:  “Now-- why would I help you?”
 
Cratus:  “Remember Dorfus?”
 
I:  “Yeah, he beat me up for a whole week.  I remember him.”
 
Cratus:  “Till I showed ya how to keep him from pickin’ on you.
I was there for you when your old man wasn’t.”
 
I:  “Yeah, and I thank you for that.  So, why are you being a
jerk now?”
 
Cratus:  “Well, the way I see it-- I’m the reason they gave you
the choice between goin’ to jail and joining the academy.”
 
I:  “Ah, they couldn’t prove anything.”
 
Cratus [Interrupting]:  “That’s because I didn’t talk.  So I
figure-- you owe me.  We need a guide outta here.”
 
I:  “They are _not_ just gonna let you walk outta here.”
 
Cratus:  “We’re waiting until it’s dark-- and then we’re sneakin’
out.  And you’re leadin’ us.  I’m gonna check on the others.
Make him comfortable.”
 
I [Mouths]:  “Hercules?”
 
H [Whispers]:  “Hi.  Sh-sh-sh.  Sh-sh.  Listen.  Over there.”
 
I [Whispers]:  “I’ve got a point.”
 
H [Whispers]:  “No-- there.”
 
I:  “I gotta p-- ?  You gotta point?”
 
Neo:  “Huh?”
 
I:  “Uh-- you’ve got a point.  You know, you gotta leave when
it’s-- dark, so, uh-- so they won’t-- see you.”
 
H [Whispers]:  “Sh.  Listen to me.  The chest.”
 
I [Mouths]:  “Oh, the chest.  OK, OK.”
 
H [Whispers]:  “Get them-- to walk away-- walk away.”
 
I:  “Uh-- I’m-I’m walking.”
 
H [Whispers]:  “No, no-- not you-- not you.”
 
I:  “We’re walkin’ a-away.  Walking-- walking away?”
 
Neo:  “What?”
 
I:  “Uh-- y-you’ll be walking away, you know-- wh-when you’ve got
the money, y-you’ll, uh-- be walking-- away.”
 
H [Whispers]:  “Get out the back.”
 
I:  “Uh-uh.”
 
H [Whispers]:  “Out the back.”
 
I:  “I got something on my back?”
 
H [Whispers]:  “No, not your back-- the back.”
 
I:  “You got something on your back?”
 
H [Whispers]:  “No, not _my_ back-- the back.”
 
I:  “You’ve got through-- through the back?  Oh, through the
back!”
 
Cratus:  “Through the back what?”
 
I:  “Uh-- yeah, yeah-- I was just thinkin’ out loud.  You know,
uh-- ways ta [sic]-- help your plan?”
 
Cratus:  “I knew you’d come around.”
 
I:  “And I was thinking, if you, uh-- want to dig an opening in
the back wall, then I could-- show you where to do it.  You know,
if you promise-- no one gets hurt.”
 
Cratus:  “Well, you’ve got my word.”
 
I:  “OK.”
 
Cratus:  “For now.”
 
Neo:  “I know you, Cratus.  There’s more to your plan than just--
crawling out the back when it’s dark.”
 
Cratus:  “Did I forget to tell you about the fire?  Oh, just a
little diversion to keep the cadets busy.  We’ll get a few of the
boys to spread a little lamp oil around.”  [Laughs]
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[ACT II]
 
I:  “Ya know?  I’m n-not sure, but I think-- it’s over here.
Yeah.  No?  Huh-- OK, uh-- well, maybe it’s over here somewhere.”
 
Neo:  “This-- better be the place-- or the next hole we dig-- is
gonna be for you.”
 
I:  “It’s over there.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Ja [Sighs]:  “We’re losin’ the sun.  Hercules, where are you?”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Neo:  “Boss-- why don’t we divvy up the money now?  That way, we
can travel faster.”
 
I:  “Oh, no, no, no!  I think you should keep it together!  I
think your chances are much better-- ”
 
Neo [Interrupting]:  “But you’re not even in the gang, anymore!
Remember?!”
 
Cratus:  “Where’s the money?!”
 
I:  “I don’t know.  Maybe you should check Neolun’s pockets!”
 
Neo:  “I’ve heard all I can stand from your smart mouth!”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Nezus:  “A little lamp oil, a torch, and before you know it, the
barbecue begins.”
 
H:  “Shhh!  Hiya.”
 
Lil:  “Hi.  I’ll free Fiducius.”
 
H:  “No, no, no, no.  Hold on a second.  Go find Jason.  Tell him
they’re gonna set a fire out the back to cover their escape, OK?
And listen-- don’t do anything until I give you the signal.”
 
Lil:  “Well, what’s the signal?”
 
Nezus:  “Help!  Intruder!”
 
H:  “Go.  Go!”
 
Nezus:  “Heeeellllp!”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cratus:  “That’s Nezus.  Come on!”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Neo:  “She’s disappeared!”
 
Cratus:  “Just like the money.  Someone’s sneaking around in
here.”
 
Nezus:  “It was a cadet.”
 
Cratus:  “And you knew about it all along!  So that’s why you led
us out of the room.”
 
I:  “So you guys ready to give up?  Huh?  I mean, you don’t have
the money, right?”
 
Cratus:  “We still got the old guy-- and you.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cratus:  “Whoever you are-- your little game is up!  We have the
old guy!  If you don’t want him hurt-- you’ll bring us the money,
now!”
 
Neo:  “Hey-- that’s not the old guy.”
 
Cratus:  “The hostages are gettin’ away!  Guillen, stop them!”
 
Guillen:  “Ha-ha.”
 
I:  “Yeah!”
 
Lil:  “Come on!”
 
Ja’s Voice:  “This way!  Over here!”
 
Cratus:  “No lily-livered dirtbag of a cadet is gonna ruin my
plan.”
 
Neo:  “Great!  Let me turn this worm into bait.”
 
Cratus:  “Not yet.  Hey, mystery man-- how ’bout a trade?
Iolaus’ life for the money.”
 
H’s Voice:  “Over here-- catch me if ya can!”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fid:  “Can’t we wait till Cheiron gets back?”
 
Lil:  “We don’t have time.  No, Hercules said he’s gonna set up a
fire to cover the escape out the back.”
 
Fid:  “Oh, dear, the academy.”
 
Ja:  “Where’s Iolaus?”
 
Lil:  “He’s still inside.  Hercules said to wait for the signal.”
 
Ja:  “What’s the signal?”
 
Lil:  “He didn’t have time to say.”
 
Ja:  “Be prepared to attack on my order.  Stay alert!”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cratus:  “Find the money.  It’s gotta be in a bag somewhere.  You
left us for this?  Schoolbooks and playing warrior.”
 
I:  “Yeah, I know.  How could I be so dumb?  Just think of all
the old ladies I could ’a robbed if I’d stayed with you.”
 
Cratus:  “Bigshot cadet-- who’s the little old lady now?”
 
Neo:  “No money!”
 
Cratus:  “Wise guy!  I guess you want to watch your friend fry!
Get the oil!  You should have told your friend that I mean what I
say.  Your aching body’ll be our safe ticket out of here.”
 
I:  “Oh, come on, Cratus, you’re not gonna hurt me-- are you?”
 
Cratus:  “Nezus-- get the torch.”
 
Nezus:  “Sure, boss.”
 
Cratus:  “Time for Plan B.  We won’t wait till it gets dark.
Neolun-- you and the others guard the back, and cover us while
we-- get this little barbecue going.”
 
Neo:  “Right.”
 
Cratus:  “Let’s see if that friend of yours cares much about a
fellow cadet.”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fid:  “They’re gonna burn the academy.”
 
Ja:  “That must be the signal.”
 
Lil:  “Yeah.”
 
Ja:  “Let’s go!  Come on!”
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cratus:  “Torch it.”
 
H-in-Disguise:  “I don’t think so.”
 
Cratus:  “What’d you say?  Hercules!  You’re the one who’s been
running around in here!”
 
[Fight]
 
H:  “Well-- looks like Plan B didn’t work out as you had hoped,
huh?”
 
Thief’s Voice:  “Yeah, it did!”
 
I:  “Hercules-- you got this figured out, right?”
 
H:  “Oh, yes, yeah.”
 
Cratus:  “Get him.”
 
I:  “Uh, whoa.  Uh-- ”
 
Cratus:  “Not so tough now, mighty Herdules.”
 
I:  “Herc, you wanna make this a short fight-- huh?!”
 
Ja:  “Wow!”
 
I:  “Herc.  Herc, come on!  Any time, Herc!”
 
H:  “Hey.”
 
I:  “Hey.”
 
H:  “How you doin’?”
 
I:  “Uh, good.”
 
H:  “Good.”
 
I:  “Uh-- you wanna cut me loose?”
 
H:  “Oh, yeah.  Good idea.”
 
I:  “Ready?”
 
H:  “Ready.”
 
I and H:  “Go!”
 
Ja’s Voice:  “Quickly!  Put out the fire!”
 
Cadets’ Voices:  “Grab water!”  “Quickly!”
 
Ja:  “All right, lowlife!  Call off your playmates!  Do it!”
 
Cratus:  “OK!  Enough!  Iolaus-- you owe me.  Get me out of
this.”
 
I:  “Uh-- Cratus-- you taught me how to steal-- helped me out for
a while.  But that was a long time ago.  I don’t owe you a
thing.”
 
Ja:  “Get ‘em out of here!”
 
Cratus:  “Cadets.”
 
Fid:  “The tuition money!  Where’d they take it?!”
 
I:  “Well, I don’t know.  You better ask, uh-- ‘Mr. Cadet’ over
here.”
 
H:  “Come here.  Here’s your real hero.”
 
Ja:  “Well, I guess that dummy’s got a heart of gold.”  [They
laugh.]
 
Fid:  “Hey-- shall I take that?”
 
H [Interrupting]:  “Oh-- I don’t know, Fiducius.  I think I
should.  Oh, yeah, I should count this out for the party.”
 
I:  “Hey, Jason-- ”
 
Ja:  “Take care of this.”
 
I:  “Hey!”
 
Ja [?]:  “Hey, man.”
