1.02 Between Friends

Iolaus: I borrowed that money - from Nysus.

Nysus/Strife: From me? Iolaus, everybody knows I don't have that kind of money.

Iolaus: Nysus! Come on! This is no time to joke around. I'm already here on probation. They'll bury me!

1.04 Herc and Seek

Cratus: Well, the way I see it - I'm the reason they gave you the choice between goin' to jail and joining the academy.

Iolaus: Ah, they couldn't prove anything.

Cratus: That's because I didn’t talk. So I figure you owe me.
