“When A Man Loves A Woman” HTLJ Episode 51/314 [TEASER] Man: “Thanks, Iolaus. Be sure and get some for yourself.” Soldier 1: “There must be a way for us to take the Golden Hind.” I: “There you go.” Soldier 1: “For the gold in those horns and hooves-- it’s worth a little risk.” Bearded Soldier: “If you think going against the Hind _and_ Ares is a little risk, go ahead. I want no part of it.” Soldier 1: “Move over, Shorty!” I: “Ooh! ‘Shorty?’” Bearded Soldier: “You’re the one the Hind shot.” Soldiers: “He looks familiar, doesn’t he?” “Yeah.” Soldier 1: “Yeah.” Soldier: “He’s the one.” Soldier 1: “Then he and Hercules whaled on us!” Soldier’s Voice: “That’s right.” Soldier1: “I _think_-- an apology’s in order!” Soldier’s Voices: “Let’s hear it.” “Make it quick.” I: “It’s OK. I forgive you. No-- guys, really-- no hard feelings, huh?” [Fight] Soldier: “Ahhhhh!” H: “He said he forgives you.” I: “I’m a forgiving kinda guy.” H: “You see, I’ve, uh-- known Iolaus a long, long time.” I: “He _has_.” H: “And if he says he forgives you, well-- he forgives you.” I: “See?” Soldier: “Ahhhhhhhhhhh!” I: “Oh, no! Take it easy! Herc! Is this really necessary?!” H: “In a roundabout sort of way. Sorry, Iolaus.” Soldier: “Ahhhhhhhhhh!” Soldier: “Ahhhhhhhhh!” H: “That’s gotta hurt.” I: “Woo! Woo! Oh, gee!” H: “Iolaus! I’ve got him.” I: “Oh, yeah-- yeah, yeah.” Soldier: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!” I: “All’s well that ends well. Ha, ha.” Soldier’s Voice: “Somebody, help me!” H: “Looks like your arm’s good as new.” I: “Yeah, thanks to Serena. But, two weeks’ rest is enough. I want to head to Thessala.” H: “I’d like to-- stay a little longer.” I: “You still wanna try and save the Hind? Forget it-- she knows how to look after herself.” H: “It’s more-- complicated than that.” I: “It’s not the Hind. It’s-- Serena” H: “Maybe, both.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Servants: “We’ve prepared food for the altar.” Ares: “Strife! Have you seen Serena?” Strife: “Yes, I have.” Ares: “And?” Strife: “Hey, don’t shoot the messenger, OK? I saw her with your brother, Hercules. You might as well face it, Uncle. She’s startin’ to play you like a flute.” Ares: “Don’t-- push it. She’s devoted to me.” Strife: “Yeah, well, so was your other star pupil, Xena, remember? She left ya standing-- and guess what? Hercules is doing it again!” Ares: “That was different. Xena had a character flaw-- a small speck of morality. He took advantage of it. No-- Serena is the Golden Hind. She owes me her life-- and I won’t let her go.” Strife: “Well, who would? If her blood will really kill a god-- that means you’ve got the edge on all the gods on Olympus. I wonder if it’s really true, though.” Ares: “Don’t-- even go there.” Strife: “I was just curious-- you know? I need something to do-- a project I can use my talents on-- get my teeth into.” Ares: “Don’t let curiosity lead you into ambition. You might not like where it takes you. For now, keep an eye on this-- situation with Hercules and Serena.” Strife: “You know I will.” [Giggles] Servant: “Hmm. Hmm.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Hind: “Oops.” H: “Shoot first and ask questions later?” Serena: “It’s my Ares training.” H: “Hmm, like I said, ‘Shoot first and ask questions later.’ That is still a-- miracle to see.” Serena: “When you’re the last of your kind, sometimes a little miracle helps to survive.” H: “I‘m glad you’ve survived. I need to talk to you.” Serena: “I know. You’ve come to say goodbye.” H: “No, no. Um-- I’ve-- come to ask you-- to marry me.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [ACT I] Serena: “I am flattered-- that you would consider marriage for us. But it can never be-- and you know why.” H: “What I know is that I love you.” Serena: “And I love you-- but I can’t live in your world. When a mortal touches me, I turn into the Hind. It would happen sooner or later.” H: “It can work, Serena. We’ll find a way.” Serena: “Well, that _would_ be a miracle, but I belong to Ares.” H: “No, you belong to yourself. No, he may have saved your life and taught you how to survive-- but one life can’t belong to another.” Serena: “Look, I know how you feel about him. He’s told me of your jealousy.” H [Chuckles]: “I am not _jealous_ of him! I _resent_ him, yes, because he’s the god of war. Serena, you can’t believe everything he tells you.” Serena: “Why would he lie to me?!” H: “Because he’s Ares! He is _using_ you! With your blood, you’re his weapon against all the other gods.” Serena: “Look, I know what he is! But without him, I wouldn’t even be here!” H: “Fine. Then tell him-- ‘Thank you, very much’-- and marry me.” Serena: “I ca-- ” H: “No-- yes, you can. Yes, you can.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Joxer [J]’s Voice: “Uh-- excuse me.” Hemnor: “Where’s Hercules?” I: “Uh-- he said he’d be here. He’ll be here. Uh. Well, come on-- let’s try and hoist it anyway. Maybe we can surprise him. OK-- pull!” Man’s Voice: “This thing weighs a ton!” I: “Come on, get your backs into it!” Man’s Voice: “Stand back, [Iona?]. We’re raising the tank!” J: “Excuse me. Excuse me. Have you seen a guy named, uh-- Hercules? He’s got his, uh, partner, uh-- E-Ebole, I-Ibole, uh, or, uh-- what’s-his-name?” I: “Yeah-- that’d be me.” J: “You’re Hercules? You’re Hercules? I-- thought you’d be, uh-- taller.” I: “No-- I’m what’s-his-name.” J: “Oh. Well. I am, of course, Joxer the Magnificent!” I: “Oh, Joxer the Magnificent.” J: “Yeah.” I: “Never heard a’ ya.” J: “Does the name, ‘Xena,’ mean anything to you?” I: “Oh, yeah-- yeah-- her, I know.” J: “Oh-- well-- you’re only looking at her mentor, master, and former trainer.” I: “I wish I was looking at you on the end of this rope-- helping, pulling, and not talking.” J: “Oh-- oh, right. Well-- you know-- I figured, uh, Xena’s kinda slow, and-- I figured, Herc’s a little more my speed, you know? Ahhhhhhh!” Man’s Voice: “What an idiot!” I: “The Magnificent!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Ares: “What am I to do with you?” Hind: “Have I disappointed the great Ares?” Ares: “No-- no, I-- I’m actually quite pleased. I saw the way you handled Hercules-- refusing his proposal without saying, ‘No’-- stringin’ him along. It-- it just made my day.” Hind: “I didn’t say no because-- I wasn’t sure of my feelings. Now, I am.” Ares: “Well, good. Good. And now that that’s over-- you-- and I-- oh, I have such plans.” Hind: “No. I’ve come to ask you for my freedom.” Ares: “You really know how to make the moment, don’t you? Supposing I’m not in the mood to give it to you.” Hind: “Then I’ll take it. You know I can.” Ares: “And I-- could do the same. I could take you. Your anger excites me. The possibilities, the two of us-- . You’re not makin’ this easy.” Hind: “Then I have your permission?” Ares: “Well, let’s just say I’ll-- give ya a little leeway-- a little personal time so you can find out how boring my brother, Hercules, really is.” Hind: “I will always be grateful.” Ares: “Don’t be tiresome.” Strife: “Maybe, it’s just me-- I-I’m sure it is-- but you give her permission-- to hang with Hercules?” Ares: “You misunderstand my gift to my brother. You, um-- ever hear of the Trojan Horse?” [Laughter] ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Man’s Voice: “We can do it! Here we go!” I: “Come on, you guys-- pull!” J: “There, see. It’s ‘cause I’m usin’ both hands.” H: “So am I.” Man’s Voice: “That’s incredible!” H: “I know I’m late.” I: “No, no, no, no-- you’re not late. We were just, uh-- warming up.” H: “Yeah.” I: “What is the matter with you?” H: “Nothing.” I: “Ah-- Serena, isn’t it? I know that face. That’s the face of a man with woman trouble. Well, never mind. She’ll come back.” H: “Let’s just finish this and get outta here.” J: “Listen, can you tell me when this guy, Hercules, is gonna get here? ‘Cause my hands are gettin’ calloused.” I: “Uh-- that’d be him.” J: “That’s Hercules?” I: “Mm-hmm.” J: “I thought he’d be-- a little stronger.” I: [Laughs] Boy’s Voice: “Catch!” H: “Serena.” I: “See? I told you she’d come back.” J: [Whistles] H: “Hey. Excuse me.” I: “Excuse me.” H: “Got it?” I: “Yeah.” Boy: “Kick it to me! Kick it to me!” H: “Serena! Uh-- that’s a-- nice catch.” Man’s Voice [in background during these lines]: “Look?! Did you see that?! She caught it!” Serena: “You, too.” Boy: “Thank you.” H: “You’re welcome.” Serena: “Oh, they’re having so much fun.” H: “Yeah.” Serena: “I always wondered what it’d be like in the village. You know? People living their lives. I like it here.” H: “Hmm-- yeah, it’s-it’s dangerous for you to come here.” Serena: “I thought is was worth the risk.” H: “Right-- of course. I wish I could change your mind.” Serena: “You can’t.” H: “Yeah.” Serena: “I, um-- had to give that back to you so-- you could give it to me at our wedding.” H: “You mean-- ‘Yes. Yes?’” Woman’s Voice: “Ain’t that sweet?” I: “Oh, oh. Oh, oh, uh! Uh. Herc. Hercules?!” H: “Oh, yeah, that’s-that’s Iolaus. Uh-- I’ll be right back, OK?” I’s Voice: “Hercules!” H: “Now, you did say, ‘Yes,’ right?” Serena: “Yes.” I: “Uh-- you know-- when you’re ready, but-- now would be good!” H: “This is so cool.” I: “Herc, Hercules!” H: “She said, ‘Yes!’” I: “Well, I told you it would work out. What do you mean, ‘She said, “Yes.”’?!” H: “Well, she-- ” “Hanged Man”: “Ahhhhh!” Woman’s Voice: “Help him!” Man’s Voice: “Get a ladder!” Man’s Voice: “Come on! Get a ladder and quick!” Joxer: “OK, folks, just back on up. Listen, this is no place for a lady.” Serena: “I-I’m a friend of Hercules’.” Joxer: “You’re a friend of Hercules’. Yeah, everyone’s a friend of the big fella’s. Well, look, we’re all very busy here, so, folks, if you’d please, just _back on up_, and we’ll-- please-- well, just, step back-- ” Serena: “[Screams] I: “Come on! Serena?” Man’s Voice: “It’s the Hind!” Woman’s Voice: “The Hind!” H: “What?” I: “No! Wait, wait, wait, wait wait!” Bearded Man: “It’s the Hind! Kill her! Kill her before she kills us!” H: “Leave her alone!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [ACT II] H: “Serena!” I: “Come on! Herc!” Men’s Voices: “Get her! Be careful!” “Come on!” I: “Come on!” H: “Hurry up!” I: “Get up there!” H: “Leave her alone!” Bearded Man: “That’s better.” Ladder Man: “I got him.” I: “OK! OK! Go! Go! Go!” H: “Serena, I’m coming!” Man’s Voice: “Easy!” H: “Back off! If anyone wants to hurt her-- they have to go through me!” I: “And me.” J: “And me, your worst nightmare! Don’t worry, fellas, I’ll take care of the crowd. [Continues on during the following dialogue] Everyone stand back. There’s nothin’ more for you to see.” H: “It’s all right, Serena. It’s over.” Hind: “No-- this is impossible.” J: “Go home, now. Joxer the Magnificent has everything under control.” H: “Thanks for standing by me.” I: “Hey, we’re friends. We don’t need to thank each other.” H: “Yeah.” I: “You better go.” Bearded Man [Morphs into Strife]: “Well-- ” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- I: “Find Serena?” H: “Yeah. Yeah, she’s safe.” I: “What happened back there?” H: “Uh-- well-- when a mortal touches her, she becomes the Hind.” I: “How does she-- get back?” H: “When the shock wears off-- when she calms down-- she can change at will.” I: “Well-- thanks for telling me earlier.” H: “Iolaus, I meant to-- but I wanted you to get to know her, first.” I: “OK. So, it’s-- it’s serious.” H: “Yeah.” I: “And before, when you said that-- she said-- ‘Yes’-- ” H: “We’re gonna get married.” I: “You know, um-- if you’re happy, I’m-- happy. I’m glad you found someone.” H: “But-- ” I: “She belongs to Ares.” I: “No-- did. We belong with each other, now.” I: “OK. Well-- let me ask you a question-- as your friend. In all of this-- have you thought about what it is that you do-- that we do?” H: “Yeah. I mean, nothing’s changed. We’ll still be a team, doing the same things. It worked before. When I was with Deianeira, we used-- ” I: “What?” H: “Deianeira-- I need to go to the other side and tell her.” I: “Oh, come on-- you know how dangerous that is.” H [Interrupting]: “She deserves to know. And I’ll be fine. It’s just-- when I get back-- I want you to be the best man at the wedding.” I: “Aw, Hercules. Look, you getting married-- it does change things. Yeah, I should be your best man, but-- if I’m honest-- I have a bad feeling about it. And I don’t think-- I’m gonna go on to Thessala.” H: “Oh. Well, I hope you’ll reconsider.” I: “Yeah.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “This is it.” Serena: “The entrance to the other side?” H: Yeah.” Serena: “I’m worried for you.” H: “It’ll be OK.” Serena: “Look, I know this is the right thing for you to do, but-- what if-- what if, when you see Deianeira and the kids-- you decide to stay?” H: “I won’t. I can’t live in their world-- and they can’t live in mine.” Serena: “Please, be careful.” H: “I love you, Serena. Nothing can keep me from coming back to you. I promise. Hades! Hades!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “Hades, this isn’t the Elysian Fields.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- J: “You call this an omelet pan?! For what? Mice eggs?” Soldier: “You! We heard the Hind was here in the village.” J: “Yeah, roadblock, where were you?” Soldier: “Huh?” J: “I was the one who saved the girl from the mob. [Laughs] Ooh!” Soldier: “Where _is_ she?” J: “Listen! You don’t know who you’re dealing with! And a-- whoo! Didn’t anyone ever tell ya not to chew on your socks?” Soldier 2: “He deserved that!” Soldier 3: “Good one.” I: “Leave him alone.” Bearded Soldier: “Look who’s back. You don’t have your partner with you this time.” I: “I don’t need Hercules.” J’s Voice: “Because I’m here! Joxer the Magnificent!” Man’s Voice: “He doesn’t know when to quit.” [Fight] Man’s Voice: “Come on!” “Come on!” J: “Listen, you-- . I’ll take you on one at a time, or all of you at once! ‘Cause that-- . Get me out of this. Oh, you. Good. Good. My plan worked perfectly.” I: “Yeah. Yeah, you’re-- you’re quite a boxer, Joxer.” J: “Thanks, Iolaus, I-- ” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Deianeira: “I’ll tell you another story about your father, all right? There was the time-- ” H: “Hey, come on! Come here, boy!” Boy: “Dad’s here!” Girl: “Daddy, you’re home!” H: “Ooh-- yes, I am.” Deianeira: “This is so weird. I thought about you this morning. I _knew_ you were gonna be here, today. Oh! I missed you.” H: “Me, too. Where’s Aeson?” Boy: “He’s down by the creek.” Deianeira: “Well, go tell him that his father’s here. Mm-hmm.” H: “Um-- ” Deianeira: “Is something wrong?” H: “No, no-- nothing’s wrong, I-- Deianeira: “Well-- ” H: “Uh-- I have to tell you something.” Deianeira: “Well, you know you can tell me anything. What is it?” H: “Uh, I know. I, uh-- ” Deianeira: “What?” H: “I just didn’t think it would be this hard. I’ve fallen in love. Deianeira, I-- ” Boy: “Help! Mom! Dad!” H: “What is it?” Girl: “Aeson’s gone. Someone took him.” H: “I’ll find him. I’ll be right back!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “Aeson! Aeson! Aeson!” Aeson: “Leave me alone.” H: “What?” Aeson: “I’m not going anywhere with you.” H: “Aeson.” Aeson: “You don’t care about me. You don’t care about any of us. You never did. We wouldn’t have died if you cared.” H: “Don’t say that. I love all of you very much.” Aeson: “Right. You love us enough to go and marry somebody else.” H: “Who filled your mind with these terrible thoughts?” Aeson: “You did. I hate you! I wanna kill you.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [ACT III] H: “Why are you saying these things? I mean, I would do anything for you.” Aeson: “Would you? I wonder. Would you give up Serena?” H: “How do you know about Serena?” Aeson: “Never mind. I know.” H: “You’re not my son. Strife.” Strife: “And Uncle Ares said you weren’t with it.” H: “Aeson!” Aeson’s Voice: “Dad! Help me!” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Aeson’s Voice: “I’m over here! Dad.” H: “Aeson. I thought I’d lost you.” Aeson: “He tricked me. He said he was taking me to you.” H: “It’s all right. It’s-- it’s over, now.” Aeson: “I was so scared. I love you, Dad.” H: “Uh-- I know you do, Son. I love you, too.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Ares: “You’re wasting time and twigs. He’s not coming back.” Serena: “He promised.” Ares: “Half-gods tell half-truths.” Serena: “Then I’ll go to him to the other side.” Ares: “If you wish-- though you may find it a little-- crowded-- in the house of Deianeira.” Serena: “It’s not really any of your concern.” Ares: “Well-- one look at his real wife, and, uh-- that was it.” Serena: “I don’t believe you.” Ares: “Would I lie? He never loved you. It was just a way to get at me. Everything’s gonna be-- as they were between us, Serena. You can come home if you want to. I’m willing to forgive-- and forget.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “Deianeira-- you don’t think I still care about you? What’s happening to me now doesn’t change our past.” Deianeira: “Oh-- it is not the past that I am worried about. It’s just that-- I don’t want to lose you.” H: “You won’t. You never will.” Deianeira: “What do you mean, I won’t? You found somebody else! Oh, god, what did I expect?” H: “I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted you to know.” Deianeira: “I appreciate that. I know how dangerous it is for you to come over here. Why don’t you just, um-- why don’t you just not make the journey again?” H: “Uh-- shall I tell the children?” Deianeira: “No. I’ll tell them when I think they’re ready.” H: “Goodbye, Deianeira. I, uh-- I will always love you.” Deianeira: “I will always love you, too. Always.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Serena: “I was so scared.” H: “I’m back, now.” Serena: “Are you?” H: “Yes.” Serena: “Was it difficult?” H: “It was. She, uh-- ” Serena: “The past is gone-- for both of us.” H: “Not quite.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “Ares! Show yourself! Come out and face me!” Ares: “You are becoming a singular annoyance, Brother.” H: “Your treachery is limitless.” Ares: “Why have limits? They’re so limiting.” H: “Leave my family alone. That includes Serena. We _will_ be married. Don’t interfere.” Ares: “Why would I? I really don’t think it’s gonna happen-- not given the cost.” H: “Don’t threaten me.” Ares: “Surely, you didn’t think the gods would smile on such a union. I mean, what? Mingle your blood with hers? I think that gave them pause to contemplate what kind of powerful offspring that might produce.” H: “If you have something to say, say it.” Ares: “You might say I, uh-- brokered a deal. After all, the Hind does belong to me.” H: “She belongs to no one.” Ares: “To allow this-- marriage to take place, the gods have decided that you must make a small sacrifice.” H: “Nothing they demand would be too great.” Ares: “They want you to surrender your strength-- your power. Oh, I-I’m sorry. I thought you said that nothing was too great.” H: “Zeus would never go along with this.” Ares: “Oh, wouldn’t he?” H: “It wouldn’t stop me from helping people. You can’t take my heart.” Ares: “Oh, that is a pity. But I suspect your fervor to aid mankind might diminish once reality sets in. So! What’s it to be? You lose her? You lose your powers? This is a limited-time offer. You need to choose now.” H: “I choose Serena.” Ares: “I win.” H: “No-- I win.” Ares: “Ooh-- nothin’ like a brotherly embrace.” [Laughs] ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- [ACT IV] J: “Now, listen, Iolaus. Another side benefit is, I’m an excellent cook. How do you like your steak?” I: “Alone.” J: “Listen, would you stop checking those ropes?! I say, on to Thessala! You know, fortune, fame, and glory await us!” I: “Yeah, good, go. Don’t keep them waiting.” J: “You know, you can quit looking for Hercules, ‘cause he’s not coming back. I mean, even if he does, he’s marrying-- you know-- Goatgirl, or whatever. Where are they gonna have the wedding? The chapel at the zoo?” I: “Listen, I’m staying here till I know he’s all right.” J: “Oh, yeah, now. Yeah, yeah, he’s fine. Don’t worry about Herc. He just made the good-old-fashioned commute to the other side and back. Excuse me while I fall down laughing.” [Laughs] I: “Hercules!” H: “I, uh-- thought you were leaving.” I: “Yeah, yeah. I am. I-- had to check the ropes and, uh-- they’ll be OK.” H: “Yeah-- good, good. Does this mean you’ll-- stay for the wedding?” J: “Wedding? Wedding? [Laughs] I don’t think so. Listen, you kids have a group hug, and then my partner and I are going to Thessala.” H: “You and him?” I: “No. He is completely deluded.” J: “What is it? My masculine ability? My lightning-fast reflexes that you doubt? OK, fine, fine-- a brief demonstration.” I: “Joxer, don’t bother.” J: “All right. OK. See that pole?” I: “Forget it.” J: “Watch. Oh.” Man’s Voice: “He cut the ropes!” J: “Oops. Wait here-- sidekick.” I: “Here, let me help!” Man’s Voice: “Give us a hand!” Man’s Voice: “Tie it off! Tie it off!” I: “What’s wrong with you? You lifted that thing by yourself this morning.” H: “My strength is gone.” I: “What?” H: “Ares took it.” I: “How?” H: “It was a decision of all the gods.” I: “Even Zeus? Well-- how long is this gonnna last?” H: “From now on.” I: “Why?” H: “Because I _traded_ it! It’s for Serena.” I: “For Serena? Hercules-- how do you expect to go on helping people-- if you’ve given away your powers?” H: “The same way you do.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- Ares: “Even more than I’ll miss you serving at my temple-- I’ll miss this vision of you running free.” Serena: “This was my home.” Ares: “And now-- a dreary hovel-- living like a peasant-- a life worse than death.” Serena: “Whatever my life with Hercules holds-- I look forward to it.” Ares: “Go to him, then. But you don’t leave here as the Hind. Oh, no, no, no, no. You’ll be mortal. You’ll experience sickness-- you’ll grow old-- and you will die. Like they say, ‘It’s a wonderful life.’” Serena: “But I’m the last of my kind.” Ares: “Your kind is extinct-- unless you wish to reconsider.” Serena: “No. If that’s what it takes, that’s what I’ll do.” Ares: “True love-- how I despise it. Yes-- I will miss you.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “So, you’re leaving.” I: “How can you miss me if I don’t go away?” H: “Then you-- haven’t changed your mind about the wedding?” I: “I can’t.” H: “Well, we, uh-- had some wild times together.” I: “We’re wild guys.” H: “We made a good team.” I: “Yeah. We were.” H: “Well. Promise you’ll visit. Little Iolaus will wanna know his namesake.” I [Chuckles]: “Yeah. I will.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- J: “Come on, Iolaus.” I: “Look. I’m gonna say this slowly. There never was a partnership. It’s all in your mind-- what little there is of it.” J: “You’re gonna be sorry! What are ya hangin’ out with that loser for, anyway?! I mean, hey! Hercules doesn’t even have his power anymore!” I: “Never, _ever_ speak of Hercules like that in my presence. He is ten times the man you will ever be.” J: “OK. Well, great-- now he’s your best buddy, again. I wish you’d make up your mind.” ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------- H: “I‘m afraid the trees will have to be our witness.” Serena: “They’re family.” H: “Ready?” Serena: “Yes, I am.” H: “We ask the force-- ” I: “Wait! What is the rush?” H: “Glad you’re here.” Serena: “So am I.” I: “Oh, I couldn’t miss it. This is-- it’s the most important moment in your life. That makes it the most important moment in my life. Anyway, you can’t get married without a best man.” [Laughs] Serena: “Shall we begin again?” H: “Yes. We ask the force-- that created the sun, the earth, the seas, and the skies-- ” Serena: “-- to bless this union-- make us one-- inseparate-- always.” H: “Always. And everything is gonna be OK.”
