[Music]

Zeus, my father.

You were at a crossro, Hercules.

I'm aware of that.

Hercules, my son, there are two roads

ahead of you. The one on the left is the

path of virtue, and the other will lead

you to pleasure.

I understand, father. Then I'll take the

right one.

Mercury, the path of virtue is on the

left.

I know that, father. But am I choosing

or are you? For years, I've walked the

road of virtue. And now I'll try the

road of pleasure. The kingdom of Lydia

is famous for having the world's most

beautiful women.

I warn you, Hercules. If your decision

leads you into grave trouble, do not

invoke my aid. You shall not have it.

When it comes to women, father, I don't

think I'll need anyone's help. That's my

decision, father. And thanks for the

advice.

Hercules, I gave you fair warning.

[Music]

Listen, why don't we go swimming now?

No, we should wait for

where has she gone? I wonder where she

could have disappeared.

She wanted to be alone.

[Music]

Oh, let's not wait for her. I'd like to

go swimming now.

I'm waiting for you.

Here I am.

Aren't you coming?

Come along. We're going swimming.

Yes. Let's go now.

[Music]

[Music]

Come

[Music]

Oh. Oh, sorry. Don't run too far out.

It's dangerous. I'm sorry. Come back.

Oh, be careful. I car.

Oh, darling. Don't for

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

There they are.

[Music]

[Music]

You've saved her life. The gods must

have sent you here. I'm quite certain of

that. Kfala would have drowned without

your help. We will tell Na, our queen,

how you saved her.

The queen of Lydia.

Ofali is her daughter.

[Music]

[Applause]

Have we finished for today? The

ambassadors of the king of Nidato are

here to see you. They've been awaiting

your response for 4 days now.

Fali won't hear. You heard her, didn't

you?

Your highness is too indulgent with the

princess.

Ali cannot continue to reject all her

suitors. The king of Needle would make

an ideal consort. And you know how

important this alliance would be.

Oh, of course I do.

And your highness is aware that the

tribes in the mountains are still a

thorn in the side to us. One day that

wretched Leo is going to attack and

then what?

I wonder what's wrong.

Has my daughter been hurt?

Are you Na the queen of Lydia?

Of course she is. Now put me down,

please. We all know how brave you've

been.

By the gods. It surely wasn't my

intention to show my courage when I

saved your life.

All right, you saved my life. Thank you.

You can put me down now. If you want to

be rewarded, tell everything to my

mother.

Oh, Fin, would you tell me what this is

all about? Who is this stranger? And why

is he carrying you?

He can't wait to tell you all about it.

And he calls himself Hercules.

Hercules?

I'm tired. I'm going to my room.

But can you really be Hercules?

Hercules, the son of the gods?

Yes, that's right. I am Hercules, the

son of Zeus and Almeida. And you saved

the life of my daughter. My most humble

thanks.

Highness, you mustn't bow down to me.

Actually, it is I who would pay homage

to you now.

You?

Yes. Is not that the custom when one

asks for the hand of a maiden on earth?

So then I would like to marry the

princess on.

Another one?

What do you mean another one?

Well, you see, does have many suitors,

and your highness has been very wise in

refusing to give her in marriage to

anyone else. Now can marry a man worthy

of her beauty.

Hercules a demigod.

Why of course Hercules is very

fortunate. But perhaps my daughter is

not worthy of you. Ali you see is only a

princess. And for Hercules there can

only be a queen.

Are you thinking of abdicating in favor

of your daughter? That would be a regal

gesture your highness.

Well no. I was merely suggesting

Hercules. Her highness is very generous.

But if you set your heart on Fal,

even a fool could see that Hercules is

madly in love with you. He just saw me

today for the first time. Well, he was

struck by lightning. Remember, he's a

son of Zeus and gods always play with

lightning. Will you stop all this silly

chatter and realize that love is a very

serious thing?

But Hercules is serious. He never

smiles.

I've had enough of your childish talk.

Leave me alone. Do you hear? Leave me

alone now.

[Music]

Enor

Yes, I'm certain this is my father's

work. He made me fall in love with Unali

to keep me on the path of virtue.

An intelligent girl, good family

background,

daughter of a queen.

Oh, you flatter us, Hercules. But we

must still wait and see what thinks.

Don't you agree?

Your highness on will be overjoyed. It

isn't every day the princess receives a

proposal of marriage from the son of

Zeus.

But your highness, just think of the

great advantage in having Hercules on

our side. We'll be stronger then. With

Hercules here, the mountain tribes will

never dare to make war.

It was brave of you to come and see me,

Enor. The garden walls are high and

difficult to scale. If the palace guards

were to find you here, it would mean

certain death for you.

Enor princess is right. You'd better

leave now before the guards come. If

they found you here, you know it would

happen to you.

[Music]

The look in your eyes is far more

frightening than their swords can ever

be. Huh?

I wouldn't be too sure about that. But

why does everyone have to be against

you? Perhaps you could try and win your

father over to our side.

No. As long as he's their chief, the

mountain tribes will never submit to

your mother.

What should my mother do, Enor? Submit

to them?

Well, I wouldn't expect that. But don't

forget that your father killed my uncle

because yours killed mine.

Farley, the queen wants to see you at

once.

Cathol?

Cathol?

Oh, yes. I remember him. He was a common

thief. Imagine he's trying to steal two

bulls from me. Hey, Hercules, the son of

the gods. I need to tell you how I took

a whole herd from Jerry.

Your 10th labor.

10th labor? That's right. You know how I

put it into him? I'm sure you'll tell

me.

The cow went hid himself in a cave. I

went after him, tore him apart.

What news, your highness?

My daughter refuses to come down.

It's time you asserted your authority as

her mother and her queen.

I only wish I could, but I'm not able

to.

Oh, dear Hercules, how lovely to see

you.

Your highness, is your daughter

accepted?

I haven't asked her.

Oh, why not? You know I'm a man of

action.

Oh, what's your hurry? You hardly know

each other, you and Don Farley. Young

love can be so blind to know that, don't

you?

But love strikes like lightning to the

son of a god.

That's very true. But what if you were

posing as you? Anyone could come here

and say he was Hercules.

What are you trying to say?

Well, that I cannot give him barley as a

bride to a man just because he says he's

the great Hercules.

And supposing you were not Hercules.

If you were not a woman and the ruler of

Lydia, I'd force you to eat those words.

Very well.

If my words not enough for you, I'll

have my father tell you who I am. Will a

sign from Zeus convince you?

Zeus? My father? Give them proof that I

am your son. You better watch out for

the thunderbolts now. Zeus, haven't you

heard? They will believe I'm Hercules.

Well,

Zeus, did you hear

Zeus?

I I beg of you,

Zeus. Have you forgotten your son,

Zeus?

Of course. How foolish. Now I remember.

He warned me not to ask a prayed

anymore. I'd forgotten completely.

Excuse me, Hercules. Don't be offended,

but Na was right. Don't you see? It

would be so easy for anyone to come here

and say that he was Hercules. Huh?

What if I were to give you proof of my

herculean strength? I'll start by

tearing down this this column.

You don't.

Or your whole palace.

No, no. I've just had the palace

redecorated.

Don't be hasty. If you want to

demonstrate that you're the great

Hercules, why don't you prove it by

doing something useful?

Certainly. A brilliant idea.

I've just thought of something.

Something you could do.

The naval wreck, your highness. The

wreck ship.

Oh, yes, of course.

Do you think you're strong enough to

lift from the bottom of the sea? One

little ship.

A ship.

Yes.

Currents are treacherous here, and you

can't see the rocks when the sea is

rough.

I'm going to dive. Give me some life.

You take this one. We'll tie the other

end fast and we'll get off into those

rocks over there.

Ready. Good luck.

Done it. It's a miracle.

You're so strong.

Well, did you see?

Yes, of course I saw. Well, well, aren't

you even slightly impressed? What other

man could have done that for his

fianceé? Oh, for heaven's sake. Of

course, he could do it if he were the

son of a god. Listen to me on Farley.

You are going to marry Hercules.

Understood? I would rather die than live

with that brainless gorilla. You can

have him yourself.

Oh, how dare she?

That's finished. Are you convinced now

that I'm Hercules?

If you ever need my aid, remember it was

you who saved my life, Hercules.

What do you mean?

Of course. If you hadn't salvaged the

ship, they would have executed me.

Executed for losing a ship. It must have

been worth its weight in gold.

There's a treasure in the hold.

Come, let's not exaggerate a bit of

gold.

Democrat. This is an awful dilemma.

Poor Hercules. How can I face him? How

can I tell him after all the work he's

done that he can't marry?

Your highness will have to marry him for

the good of her [ __ ]

Oh, words. Words. You're so good at

offering advice. This will all take

time.

If you want to gain time, Hercules can

be made to wait.

How nice. And who's going to convince

him to wait? You.

No, certainly not I, your highness, but

the oracle.

[Music]

Out of the question. It will be a

sacrilege. Your highness,

calm, calm. You know, we've heard all

that before. Why you always vegan by

saying that you walked? But then

yes, but now things are different.

Hercules is a favorite son of Zeus. You

wouldn't want to turn him against you by

playing tricks on his son. Besides, I

have to think of myself.

You seem to be forgetting that you serve

her as priestess only on sufference of

the queen. Right.

Say no more. I'm losing my patience. The

oracle will reveal to Hercules that will

be his bride only after he has helped us

defeat the mountain tribes. Do you

understand?

by Joe. But this is war.

This is the occasion our country has

been awaiting.

With Hercules as the commander of all

our armies, there's no question of our

finally crushing Leo once and for all.

The will of the god shall be done.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

Dear and Livia, we worship the cousin of

your sister, the goddess Australia. We

seek her help and guidance whenever we

have a very important decision to make.

The faithful come from near and far to

consult her. And I ask Australia's

advice on public questions, alliances,

wars, and all ceremonies.

Well, let's hope she gives us the answer

we're awaiting.

[Music]

Your highness,

the goddess Australia does not answer.

[Music]

Oh,

so

[Music]

Hercules.

[Applause]

Hercules.

Zeus, our father, has consented to your

marriage with Princess Farley.

I thank you, my father, and I thank you,

too, Sister Astra.

You're welcome. But our father Zeus has

ordained that one condition be met

before your marriage to Ombar can

receive his blessing.

You shall engage the strongest man in

the world in combat.

Only if you succeed in defeating him

will Zeus permit you to marry him.

The strongest man in the world but but

excuse me, the strongest man in the

world is Hercules. How do you expect me

to fight myself?

You're not a man, Hercules, but a son of

the gods. The strongest man in the world

is Samson.

Who's Samson?

Who is he?

Hope not.

Seek him out

and you will find him. And beware the

jawbone of an ass.

I will tear him to pieces astray. I

swear that to you.

[Music]

Whatever got into you to tell him to

fight Samson.

Samson? Who's Samson?

What are you asking us for? Wasn't that

you talking to inside the statue?

Who me? Well, I didn't say a word. All

of a sudden, I saw stars. It was like a

beautiful dream.

I warned you. The gods are angry. And

that voice

that was the goddess Estraa talking.

Yes, I think so. I've had my fill of

meddling. If you want to risk your life,

go into the statue yourself.

We were so fortunate. We could both have

been struck dead by the hand of Seuss.

We had no choice but to search for this

Samson. Then

you heard the oracle, didn't you? What

other choice have we?

Let's stop here for a while, huh?

Well, it's high time. My throat's as dry

as dust.

Hey, where are you going?

For a cool drink.

We stopped for a drink an hour ago.

Don't you realize at this rate, we'll

never get to where we are.

Come on. Plenty of time. Huh?

Hercules is depending on our finding

Samson so we can marry him folly. And I

owe Hercules my life. Understand?

Loyalty for a moment. Get out of here.

[Applause]

What's fun for you?

[Applause]

[Laughter]

[Music]

Oh, you're back again, huh?

[Music]

[Laughter]

Do you feel that dancing? Turn around. I

said turn around.

One,

two,

three. Ah, this is a way to dance.

[Music]

Oh, please. Now, I beg you. How can I

keep this in running if you frighten

away all my servants?

If you served me at once, it would never

have happened.

Yes, you may be right. But if you would

only pay for your food.

Pay?

I want you never to use that word.

It's an offense to me. Understand?

Certainly. I'll never use the word

again. I promise you never again.

This is how it be.

You think that's Samson?

I hope not.

Let's find out.

Good fellow. That fruit in there

wouldn't by any chance be Samson.

I wish it were. That's a slave who's

escaped from Rome. He's the worst bully

I've ever served in my humble in.

Is he always like that?

Of course he does. He eats like 10

horses. Refuses to pay. And if he gets

angry, he destroys everything.

I try not to get him angry then.

But he gets angry for no reason. Please,

good sir.

We'd better be on our way. I beg of you,

noble lords. Help us get rid of this.

We would like to help you, but we have

urgent business to attend to. Let's move

on quickly.

These lords all alike. I'll never help

you when you need it.

Get back.

What do we do?

Shouldn't we send for Samson?

No. No. You'd better find Mashist and

tell him that we need his help here

desperately. Don't let him waste any

time getting here. If you do, they won't

be anything left of the place by the

time he arrives. Now run.

[Applause]

[Music]

Is there anyone there?

What can I do for you?

Good day. We're the emissaries of the

Queen of Lydia.

I've never heard of her. Oh, please

don't be hasty. We've been informed that

Samson lives here.

I'm his wife. What do you want of my

husband?

I'm sorry, but we must speak to Samson

personally.

Wait.

We have brought you and Samson wonderful

gifts, beautiful things from our

country.

There are no finer perfumes in the world

and silks so fine they would grace the

wardrobe of a queen

and precious jewels

and rare spices.

And it's all meant for us.

Of course, they're all gifts from the

highness, the queen of Lydia.

You may enter.

[Music]

I'll call Samson now.

Samson.

Samson.

What do you want?

There are people here to see you.

They'll have to wait. I have no time

now. We'll never finish that way. Unh

the oxen.

I thought I told you it was a team of

four oxen.

[Music]

These are for your lovely wife, Delilah.

[Applause]

How do you like them?

The queen selected this herself for your

wife. It comes from the royal wardrobe.

Samson, if you'll come to Lydia with us,

you'll return the richest man in all of

Israel.

Beautiful, isn't it? Our women have much

better taste than that.

I hope you'll excuse her. Delila isn't

herself tonight.

Tell me, are the women in Lydia as

beautiful as they say?

Such beauty you've never seen.

All right. Did you hear? This Hercules

has the nerve to challenge me, Samson,

the strongest man in the world. I really

think it needs to be taught a good

lesson. And besides, think of the

payment. With the gold I bring back, we

can buy a herd of cattle and new plows,

and you'll be dressed in jewels and

silks.

I think we finished the wine. If you're

leaving early in the morning, you should

get some rest. You need all your

strength to fight this Hercules.

Delila, then you really don't mind my

going to Greece.

Why do you even bother to ask? I thought

a woman's opinion didn't matter. A

woman's first duty is obedience to her

husband. Good night then, strangers. We

leave your country at dawn.

[Applause]

Excellent. We shall be ready at the

crack of dawn. Is that all right?

Perfect. I'm an early riser. You'll find

me ready until tomorrow then.

Good night.

Good night, my friends.

Good night, TS.

Please don't slam the door.

Oh, quite close.

Sorry, Eli.

I forgot.

Can't you ever remember anything?

Sorry.

We'll have to repair that door one of

these days. Didn't you say we'd finished

all the wine?

I just said that to make them leave

earlier. Do you want something to eat?

You haven't had very much to eat

tonight.

Oh, Delilah, you're always worrying

about me. What will I do in Lydia

without you? H

What makes you so affectionate?

Because I know how much I'll miss you.

[Music]

You know, I like to take you with me.

We couldn't both go away. Someone has to

stay. It might as well be you.

I won't stay away any longer than I have

to.

It's such a boore having to go all that

way alone.

Then I'll come back to my little wife.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

Well, we're on our way. It's a long

journey all the way to Greece. I know I

shouldn't leave Delila all alone like

this, but she can take care of herself.

After all, she

[Music]

can't understand. Let's try again.

Possible

my hair.

[Applause]

[Music]

Was

[Music]

this your doing?

Yes.

Did you think I would just let you go?

The world's most beautiful women are in,

Lydia. Isn't that so? And you would have

liked to have gone there by yourself.

Well, you're not going.

Samson. Samson, are you ready to go?

Not leaving.

What do you mean he's not leaving? Last

night he said he was coming with us.

He's apparently decided to stay.

Delila, wait. I'd like to talk to

Samson.

It's impossible. Do you hear me? I'll

set our dogs on you if you don't go

away.

By the gods. Did you hear that? What do

we do now? We'll have to leave here

without Samson.

I refuse. Hercules saved my life.

Well, we can't force him to go.

He's Samson. Or have you forgotten?

Just a moment. I have an idea. Do you

remember that brute we saw fighting in

the tower?

Come with me.

That's it. That's it.

You call that dancing? I can do better

myself.

Oh, sing louder. Louder.

That's it. You, too.

That's it. Dance,

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

sir. I've just prepared this for you.

[Music]

Oh, that's horrible.

Oh, please. Can I rest now? I'm so tired

of dancing. Please.

I said,

I want more wine.

[Music]

here.

It's the best we have.

[Applause]

Dance, dance, and why can't you sing

something more melodious?

Well, this is the only music I know.

You don't want to sing for me, huh?

I'll show you.

to sing. I don't know any other music.

Please go outside till you learn

something.

[Music]

He's still in there. It sounds like it.

Why don't you go in? Huh?

All right.

[Music]

Don't be afraid. Call us if you need

help.

Huh?

No.

Why not? Huh? Why not?

No. No. No. No. Come here.

Oh, why won't no

he'll play the fool

and I'll rescue you from him.

Oh, no. No.

Oh, good sir. Rescue me from this fruit.

He thinks he's in the circus now.

What are you doing here? I'll tell you

apart.

I have 100 pieces of gold. Will you take

them? Here you are. Perhaps we can

discuss some business now.

It's all real gold.

You want me to do something for you?

Huh?

I do.

Come back in a month. I'll need double

as much.

Don't outsmart yourself. For a very

small service, you can have a bag double

that size.

There's got to be more.

You'll get it in due time. But first,

you have a job to do.

Here

we are, Machiste. The inn is over there.

I'm going to teach Ursus a lesson. Let's

go.

Remember now, don't use brute force on

it.

I know what to do.

Of course you do, but don't get him

angry. Samson is very strong.

Don't worry, I'm not as stupid as I

look.

[Music]

Well,

what happened? He's accepted. Let's hope

that he succeeds. Of course he is.

Thank you, sir. Thank you.

[Music]

Word. I've come here to put him in his

place.

Mashiste, I'm sorry you've come here too

late.

Too late?

Yes. Ursus is gone. This noble lord

helped me to chase him from the end.

In that case, I'll be on my way.

Wait, let me offer you a glass of wine

at least.

All right, but I insist on paying for

whatever I drink.

Did you ur?

Huh? I'm asking you a question.

Oh, yes, of course. I told him to be

careful and to use his brain.

How dare you enter here without my

Samson?

Are you Samson?

Yes.

What are you doing? Donald,

don't take him away.

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Suit.

Thank you, Mashe.

It's nothing.

The gods must be ready with you if they

send you mashiste.

Oh, I know that, sir. Mashiste is just

wonderful. You can imagine how long it

would take us to repair the damage if we

had to do the work all by ourselves.

I think that should do it. I wanted to

teach that Ursus a lesson, but I'll have

to save that for another occasion.

May the gods bless you, Mach.

I'll be going now.

But wouldn't you like a bite to eat?

No thanks. I did this as a favor.

But if you need me, you know where to

find me.

Thanks again, Mashe.

Well, there's still some kind of world.

Goodbye.

[Music]

Oh, where am I?

In good hands, Samson. In good hands.

[Applause]

[Music]

Here's

your Samson.

[Applause]

What's he done to him?

What are you doing? Terrible.

Just relax and no hysteria. Ursus is our

man from now on.

Samson the great hero.

You didn't kill him, did you?

No. The fact is I hit him on the head

several times so he'd come here without

arguing. I can wake him up. Servant. A

jug of water.

No, wait. What are you going to do when

he awakens? You know who that is. I hope

it's Samson.

Oh, what? He's the strongest man in the

world.

Oh, he is.

That's funny.

You don't doubt the word of Zeus, do

you?

What shall I do? Throw it on him? Uh,

Ursus.

[Applause]

[Laughter]

[Applause]

Go find Machi at once and bring him

here. Hers came back.

[Applause]

Go quickly.

Hurry. Hurry. As fast as you can.

No. No. Oh, it's ridiculous. I don't

believe it.

Why don't you listen to me? It's the

truth. I've lost my strength completely.

Because of your hair? Unbelievable.

What do I have to do to make you believe

what I'm saying? With my haircut short

this way, I'm weak. If I were to

challenge even one of you to fight, I'd

be beaten. Do you want to try me out?

Oh, no. Listen to me. I'm weak. I don't

want to go to Lydia.

I want to go home.

What should we do?

If you ask me, it's just an excuse.

That's all it is. Have you ever heard of

a man losing his strength because his

wife cuts his hair?

Well, if it is an excuse, we'll find out

right away.

Listen to me. How would you like to win

another bag of gold pieces?

If I go on this way, I'll turn out to be

honest.

[Music]

All right.

[Music]

[Music]

You can thank all your gods. My wife cut

my hair.

This just as well. If you ever grow your

hair long again, let me know.

[Music]

When my hair grows again and I have my

strength, I'll make you regret your

insults.

By Zeus, he just doesn't react. So,

you're Samson, the strongest man in the

world.

Well, I think you're a coward, and I

never did like cowards.

So,

good little boy, Sam.

[Music]

Samson here.

Hurry, run.

How about that? Huh?

[Applause]

[Music]

Where is he? Where's your

Oh, mist. We've all been waiting for

you. There he is.

Was this your work?

Yes, it was. Why? Get over here and say

you're sorry.

You hear what I said?

Well, come closer.

[Music]

Are you going to say you're sorry?

[Applause]

Let's get out of here.

We better watch this from outside.

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

I bet on nurses. I bet on the cheese.

[Music]

What happened?

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

Now's the moment.

[Applause]

Let's go.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Samson's getting away.

Stop.

[Applause]

[Music]

Heat.

[Music]

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

[Music]

[Music]

Yeah.

[Music]

[Music]

Oh,

[Music]

free.

[Music]

Are you finished? Give an extra coat of

white wash.

Yes, sir.

Mist, come here for a minute.

Sit down.

Samson suggests

that we take you to Lydia instead of him

to fight Hercules.

Certainly, you're the strongest man in

the world now.

I would be if you'd lose your strength

forever, Samson. But when your hair

grows back,

say that's a good idea. Come back in a

few months.

Come back in a few months while Hercules

is waiting to marry him folly. No, for

Hercules, that will never do. Do you

realize he saved my life? I'm telling

you, he saved my life.

I know that.

Enough talk. You will come with us to

Ladyia to fight Hercules.

Yes, but I have no strength.

Well, if you're to lose, you won't need

your strength. Listen now. It's

important that Hercules wins so we can

marry him finally. Listen, why don't you

come along with us, Majesty?

And remember, no one must know about his

hair. That will remain a secret between

us.

Of course,

your oath.

I swear it.

By all the give you my oath.

If my sister goes to Lydia with you,

then I'm coming along, too.

You'll get back to your work. Of course,

but I'm coming with you tomorrow, and

I'll always remain at your side. I've

got to obey what my oracle told me.

Ah, it seems as if everyone has his

private oracle in Greece.

You're wrong. My oracle is Roman. I met

him on the road as I was going to the

forum to sacrifice. And he said to me,

Ursus, one day you are going to

encounter your master, and he will be a

brave and strong man whom you will have

to obey, and your duty will be to follow

him without question and do whatever he

asks.

[Music]

Hercules.

Hercules Samson is here.

What? Where is that coward? Let me have

it for one minute. You can beat him to

the [ __ ]

He's at the palace now resting. Come

with me.

Hercules. Surely you wouldn't fight here

in the fields like a common slave. Do

you expect me to keep on waiting

tonight? You'll fight him tonight. Don't

worry, Hercules. It's all arranged.

Fine.

What is it?

Eno has gone to talk to his father. He

told me to tell you about tonight.

Yes.

[Music]

All

right, you men over there quickly.

1 2 3 4

[Music]

All right, son. You came at last. We've

been waiting for you.

I must talk to you at one. My son, her

tribe and ours are practicing the fight

out of war together.

Father, I've got to talk to you about

sign an alliance with Diam. You know

what that means? All out war. War on

Queen.

We shall begin the attack

right after the wedding.

What wedding?

Ah, of course.

I never did tell you. It was the one

condition

their insisted on so our two tribes

could be united as one. Demir is young

and strong.

I accepted it once.

Congratulations, father. You've done the

right thing. I've always been hoping

that you would remarry.

[Laughter]

You're going to marry her, not me.

I'm to marry, do you?

Yes.

I've given my solemn word.

I understand.

You will marry Demir tonight. Then right

after the ceremony,

you and I will lead the attack.

Our strength will be doubled.

And this time I'll have my final revenge

on Queen Namea.

Where are you going? I'm going to change

for the wedding.

Where? To change my clothes, I said.

[Laughter]

[Applause]

Follow me.

Listen,

you better keep an eye on him, eh? He's

picked up some funny habits.

One of the guards once saw him taking a

bath.

[Laughter]

What a lovely night,

isn't it? The strongest men in the world

all here in Lydia with me. I wish I

could find these muscle men attractive,

but then I'm not a queen.

She is witty.

What an elegant dress.

Yes, quite.

Who made it for her?

I I have no idea. Perhaps she had it

made for her by some local dress maker.

How can she afford it?

That is a good question.

The women here are more beautiful than I

thought. Remember, you can't break

training rules.

[Music]

Well, enjoying the royal party.

[Music]

[Applause]

Hercules. With girls like that walking

around, how can you even think of

getting married? You're out of your

mind.

No, she's pretty enough. But I prefer a

girl who's shy and reserved. Not just

pretty.

A woman just like on fire.

The waves were really rough and as high

as mountains. And so I said

somehow I must save this ship. So then I

said there's only one thing left. Grab

only one hope. Abandon it.

I told the queen your gown was made by a

local dress maker.

Ah. Is that all you said to her? I don't

have another.

You don't have? Don't you think it's

about time we bought you some new

clothes?

As soon as we put through the new tax

law, I'll get you out.

You better. I'll soon be naked.

That wouldn't shock anyone in this

palace.

And don't bite your fingernails.

[Music]

[Music]

Samson.

Yes.

Are you married?

Yes, your highness, I am to a very nice

girl.

Oh dear.

Your highness, what are we waiting for?

Am I going to fight this Samson or not?

Of course, Hercules. We shall start at

once. Your Highness, will you give the

signal?

Silence, everyone.

Now for the historic encounter between

Hercules and Samson.

[Music]

[Applause]

Oh, finally.

Oh, folly,

where are you?

Fali, this is madness. Please don't go.

I beg you. I can't stay. You know I love

Enor and I'll never marry Hercules. Fal,

please tell me if there's anything I can

do. There isn't. Farewell.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

What's ran away. No. Yes.

How could father do this? Run away with

that awful man. The son of that that

brutal, luosome, filthy traitor.

You must be calm, your highness. We must

think about Hercules.

But how do you expect me to calm myself?

The way he treated me years ago, I'll

never never forget.

Please, your highness. There are

strangers here. And besides, remember

one thing. Hercules will go out of his

mind when he learns that father has been

taken by force into the mountains. You

understand?

No.

Ah,

yes. He'll go right after her. We'll

send the Lydian army along and take care

of the mountain tri.

You could not have thought of a more

clever plan, your highness.

I

Yes. Yes.

[Music]

[Applause]

Dear Hercules, I have something to tell

you. Something terrible. What is it now?

Has something happened? Is it on?

Yes, she's been kidnapped. But don't you

worry.

What do you mean? I'm not to worry.

It is. Her highness meant that we know

where to find. The princess was

kidnapped by one of the mountain tribes.

All we need is to send our army.

I don't need your army. I'll go there

alone. I can rescue on Pali by myself.

All I need is a horse. Where are these

mountains? I'm leaving at once to save

on Pali. And this shall truly be my last

labor as the gods of my witness,

Almighty Zeus.

[Music]

And so now even your father's against

us.

Yes.

What shall we do?

We'll go far away. So far that no one

will ever find us.

Do you really love me, father?

You're mine.

mine.

Your love is so dear,

[Music]

so precious. I can't even tell you. It's

with me when I awaken.

And at night, your eyes, your face

are with me even when I'm not awake.

I love you, father. Nothing will ever

tear us apart.

[Music]

I'll forget that you're my son if you

ever disobey my orders again.

So, you're the daughter of that queen.

That queen is a Lydian, and she will

make you regret it if you don't treat me

with respect.

She's just like a mother.

Enor, I'd save you from a fate worse

than death. My warriors hadn't got you

in time. At this moment, my son, you

would undoubtedly be her husband. You

see?

Yes. That's just what I intend. Cross,

father, I'm in love with them, father.

Ah, 20 years ago, I was in love with her

mother. Yes, that's right. Nam and I

were secretly in love just like you and

Nfala. But the gods opened my eyes in

tide and I was thankful to them just

like you're going to be thankful to me.

Is that the end of your story? If it is,

I'd like to leave.

Father,

I want her here with me.

Yes, you know, you're right. A father

should stay here with you.

That's the least I can do to give my son

the happiness he wants. Eh, thank you,

father. Don't mention it.

Come here.

Enor, my son, there's only one way to

forget a woman.

Eliminate her. Make her disappear from

your life forever.

Eliminate her?

Are you out of your mind?

Father, what are you planning to do?

Burn her at the stake and spread her

ashes to the winds. Do you understand

that? Take a prisoner.

No, you can't. I won't let her fighting

nor my son.

Don't you realize I'm doing this for

your own good?

If you harm her, father, I'll kill you.

I swear I'll kill you. Take him away.

Take him away.

I warn you, father. I'll kill you. Don't

hurt us. Don't

go. Leave him alone.

[Applause]

Leave him alone, Anor.

[Music]

You tried to deceive me, Leo. You swore

that your son was madly in love with me.

He was lying. He knows I love him,

father. And even if he kills me, he'll

never make me forget him.

Don't listen to him. He doesn't even

know what he's saying.

Start the fire.

[Music]

What are you doing?

Stop.

Stop. I say, have you gone out of your

mind?

You know what has always been my friend?

I'm with him. Take him prisoner. Stop

them.

Heat. Heat.

[Music]

Heat. Heat.

[Applause]

[Music]

It's all the fault of that woman.

I should have killed her at once.

[Music]

Where is

No. Let me go. Let me go.

You can have him, father. But first,

you'll have to kill me.

Is that all I have to do?

No, I stop. Stop.

Defend yourself.

Defend your stop. No.

[Music]

I'll marry you, Hercules. Really?

Only don't do anything, Dino. I beg of

you.

I'll do anything you say. Be your slave.

What's that? What do you mean you'd be

my slave? Who is that?

[Music]

Help us. I humbly implore you.

And if you love me and you really want

me to be your wife, don't kill him.

I ask you with all my heart.

Now it's Hercules.

Where is that sibling coward? Enor.

Enor?

Who's he? Do you know?

I've never heard of him.

Well, go find him and marry him.

Donfali.

What?

I said Enor was to marry on thalik.

Understand?

Listen. You've labored so hard in order

to marry the princess.

I wanted to marry Enor. Is that clear? I

refuse to marry a girl who's sweeping

and stibling all the time.

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

What?

Did she love him? Let him have her

understand. Give me one good reason why

I should marry her. One good reason.

Just one. Zeus.

Zeus.

Don't you recall the words of the

article? Zeus said that if you were able

to defeat Samson, you were to marry

Omal.

Yes, he's right. You're the son of Zeus,

and you'll have to decide whether to

obey him. But you see, I have my entire

city and kingdom to think about. And do

you think I want to risk a thunderbolt

from Zeus?

You're right. I can't disobey Zeus. I'd

forgotten about the oracle.

I wonder what I can do now.

Why was I ever born the son of a god?

I'm sorry, Hercules.

Well, have you changed your mind?

Oh, no. No, but you know, I forgot all

about the oracle and Zeus.

[Laughter]

Do you think it's funny?

[Music]

[Laughter]

This is not a laughing matter on Bali.

Hercules,

do you promise not to get angry if I

tell you something? Promise.

What is it?

You've got to promise.

All right, I promise.

And you promise that you won't tell my

mother.

Ah, yes. Yes. I'll promise you anything

you want. Just tell me quickly.

Well, you should know that the oracle

you heard was a false one.

False.

Yes,

it was false.

Heat.

Heat.

[Applause]

[Music]

And they say women can never make up

their minds. Look at you men. First he

wants her, then he doesn't want her,

then he wants her again.

I wonder why Hercules wants to consult

the oracle.

Since Fali is in love with Enor, why do

you think Hercules want Hercules wants

to get married at all?

It's easy to see you've never been in

love.

Enor,

[Applause]

that boy really has courage. He's in

love.

Stop fighting, you idiot.

No, you'll marry her or my dead body. In

a few minutes, the oracle will say that

you're to marry auntie. What oracle?

Yes, what he's saying is true. Enor

Hercules is trying to help us. My

friends in the statue. If I still had my

strength, I'd try to help that young

man. I take Hercules like this.

I was able to do that.

Well,

Samson,

it's gone back. Listen.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Why Joe? How dare he do such a thing? If

he doesn't know who I am, I'll show him

now.

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Get out.

Get out.

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

Thank you.

Stop listening.

Don't go fry my taste.

Ah, keep quiet, Micro.

Thank you, Elise.

But I wasn't speaking.

Well, who's in the statue then?

Oh, I don't know.

Zeus.

My father Zeus.

The gods are not interested in knowing

whether you or Samson is the strongest

man in the world.

Stop destroying your sister Estraa's

temple. And Una, listen to my words.

Your daughter Farley must marry Eno. And

you must make peace with the mountain

tribes. And do not disturb the gods

again.

Oh,

Oh.

Oh.
