HERCULES: Father! I have defeated the Gorgonites!
ZEUS: Well done, Hercules. Your wrestling skills have saved Olympus.
(beat)
But there is one more task you must fulfil. Remember the prophecy.
(beat)
You must suplex each of us.
HERCULES: But… father! If I suplex you, you will die!
ZEUS: It is the prophecy.
HERCULES: No, father. I don’t care about the prophecy. I believe we choose our own destiny. In the Oracle’s pool I saw a vision of the future. Of a great man people called “Washington”…
(swell of heart-warming music)
…a man who showed his people the way to freedom, to become the greatest of nations!
(moment of awestruck silence)
(then an animal roar, a burst of drum and bass music)
ATHENA: Herc, look out! Behind you!
HERCULES: What the -!?
(roaring continues, with fighting sounds)
