HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS season 1 episode #9
"WARRIOR PRINCESS"
ACT 1, SCENE 5:
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_451.jpg
(Cut to Xena's bedchamber. Xena and Iolaus are kissing in her room, until she abruptly breaks away.)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_462.jpg
IOLAUS: What's wrong?
XENA: I don't want you to fall in love with me.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_477.jpg
IOLAUS: It may be too late. Have you thought about that?
XENA: I was hoping I'd be the only one to go away from this with a broken heart.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_496.jpg
IOLAUS: You don't have to go away. I want you here.
XENA: I know you do and I'd stay... if it didn't mean I was letting somebody else down.
IOLAUS: You never spoke about another man.
XENA: (Sounds like a slut right? But she says it so sweetly) Not one man, many of them. And women and children, too. They're under siege by a warlord named Petracus. He's trying to drive them out of the Arcadian Highlands. I'm building an army to defend them. (LIAR!)
IOLAUS: That's why you were traveling with so many weapons; you're a warrior. (Ya think?
)
XENA: I used to think I was, but now I know that no matter
how hard I fight, I can't beat Petracus by myself. I need help.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_503.jpg
IOLAUS: You came to get Hercules, didn't you?
XENA: (BIG sigh here...) Yesss-- but I found you.
IOLAUS: Then I should be the one you ask for help.
XENA: I can't do that.
IOLAUS: Why? 'Cause Hercules is better than me, is that it?
He's the warrior and I'm some meaningless jester?
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_505.jpg
XENA: No, it's because it wouldn't turn my life upside down
if he got hurt or even killed. But if something happened to you -- (Ohhhh, she's GOOD!)
IOLAUS: Nothing is gonna happen to me.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 129ati.htm
XENA: You're not gonna take 'No' for an answer, are you?
IOLAUS: (Big smile) No. I'm afraid you're stuck with me.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 128ati.htm
XENA: I like it like that.
(Xena and Iolaus kiss then--

SCENE 6:
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 134ati.htm
--cut to THEODORUS and Xena kissing.)
XENA: (She doesn't seem to want to kiss any of these guys for long, does she.
) Enough.
THEODORUS: But it's been so long.
XENA: Better to go without than to have to share a bed with Hercules' best friend. (I guess "Nigel" doesn't have to ask Xena if she and Iolaus were lovers.
)
THEODORUS: I'll kill any man who touches you.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_553.jpg
XENA: No THEODORUS. Kill Hercules.
THEODORUS: You'd let me have that honor?
XENA: If you think you're worthy. (Oh, she's VERY good!)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_556.jpg
THEODORUS: You know I am.
XENA: Then take this. (She hands him her locket, the one with a heart encased in a masterlock. Yeah... even though they aren't made for another 2000 years. Go figure)
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 140ati.htm
XENA: It'll make you strong in battle and return you safely back to me.
THEODORUS: Xena --
XENA: Go. Make me proud. (She's good AND
evil.)
THEODORUS: I will. I swear it. (He runs off to do his mistress' bidding... one.. final... time.)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_581.jpg
SCENE 7:
(Cut to Xena and Iolaus both on horseback, coming upon Hercules building the wall.)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_613.jpg
IOLAUS: Hey, looking good.
HERCULES: I wish it was looking finished. Where are you going?
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_620.jpg
XENA: We're going to rid my people of the warlord Petracus.
HERCULES: I've never heard of him.
IOLAUS: Well, from what Xena says, you and the whole world will if he isn't stopped in Arcadia.
HERCULES: Is there anything I can do?
XENA: No.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_621.jpg
HERCULES: I'm just offering my help.
XENA: Iolaus is all the help I need.
HERCULES: Well, you know how I feel about him; he's the
best. (Um...Yeah, right
)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_625.jpg
XENA: That's why he's with me. Yah! (She rides away from the two friends)
HERCULES: If it turns out that you do need me, I'll be there for you.
IOLAUS: Yeah, I know you will. But uh-- listen, I don't want
you to get the wrong idea about Xena. She's worth whatever risk it takes.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_634.jpg
HERCULES: Then you're lucky she's in your life.
XENA: (Calls from down the trail) Come on, Iolaus!
IOLAUAS: (He turns his horse and follows) Come on. Come on. Yah!
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_655.jpg
HERCULES: (To the fickle wind) Good luck my friend.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_659.jpg
SCENE 8:
(Cut to the barn at HERCULES' Mom's place. THEODORUS has snuck in to hide before Hercules brings in an empty wagon. He bends to pick up something just as THEODORUS throws a knife at him and misses. HERCULES straightens up and looks at the knife, and then the man who trhew it.)
HERCULES: You know, a true warrior attacks from the front.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 165ati.htm
THEODORUS: My commander says you attack from whatever side suits your purpose.
HERCULES: So, he's a coward too. (Oh Hercules... you ASSUME too much!)
(Fight.)
HERCULES: Uh-- you better try something else. (He looks at Theodorus' dagger with disdain)
THEODORUS: With pleasure. (Theo throws down the dagger and pulls his long sword)
HERCULES: Me and my big mouth.
(Fight continues)
HERCULES: Enjoy this while you can.
THEODORUS: I'm still enjoying it, Hercules. Disappointed?
HERCULES: As a matter of fact, yes.
(Fight occurs and eventually the villain falls from the stairs onto a hayrake.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_736.jpg
It ain't pretty as the tines have come through his chest.)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_754.jpg
HERCULES: Why did you attack me?
THEODORUS: Love.
HERCULES: Whose love?
THEODORUS: Xena, I'm sorry I failed you.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_760.jpg
(He dies and Hercules removes Xena's heart/lock medallion from his neck.)
HERCULES: Xena?

HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS season 1 episode #9
"WARRIOR PRINCESS"
ACT 2, SCENE 1
(Cut to ALCMENE's kitchen on her farm.)
http://www.xenaonline.net/photos/displayimage.php?album=344&pid=29174#top_display_media
ALCMENE: I don't understand why you think it's her. There must be lots of other Xenas in the world.
HERCULES: I'd agree with you if the warrior who attacked me hadn't been wearing Xena's medallion.
ALCMENE: That still doesn't explain him trying to kill you, Hercules.
http://www.xenaonline.net/photos/displayimage.php?album=344&pid=29454#top_display_media
HERCULES: He loved her... and he wanted to prove it.
ALCMENE: Are you sure that's why he died?
HERCULES: He didn't just die, Mother. Xena sent him on a
suicide mission. (HE is... after all... a DEMI-GOD!)
http://www.xenaonline.net/photos/displayimage.php?album=344&pid=29338#top_display_media
ALCMENE: But there's no reason for that.
HERCULES: Yes, there is. He was the bait. Now Xena expects me to go after Iolaus and walk right into whatever trap she's laying.
ALCMENE: And that's what you're going to do, isn't it?
http://www.xenaonline.net/photos/displayimage.php?album=344&pid=29172#top_display_media
HERCULES: I have to.
ALCMENE: Iolaus will think you're coming to steal his glory.
This woman will make sure of that. You'll destroy your friendship with Iolaus.
http://www.xenaonline.net/photos/displayimage.php?album=344&pid=29467#top_display_media
HERCULES: Saving his life is more important.
ALCMENE: Promise me you'll come back in one piece?
HERCULES: In one piece. And with Iolaus.
SCENE 2:
(Cut to Xena and Iolaus walking through the woods.)
http://www.xenaonline.net/photos/displayimage.php?album=344&pid=29432#top_display_media
XENA: In case you're still wondering, I really would rather go into battle with you.
IOLAUS: You don't have to make me feel good.
XENA: You don't have to treat me like I'm a hypocrite.
Believe it or not, I don't give a fig for Hercules or his reputation.
http://www.xenaonline.net/photos/displayimage.php?album=344&pid=29247#top_display_media
IOLAUS: Then you're the only one, Xena.
XENA: Maybe you and the rest of his adoring legions should take a closer look at him. What's Hercules really fighting for? Go ahead, Iolaus, tell me.
IOLAUS: He fights to help people. I thought everybody knew that. He wants to stop slavery and injustice.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 177ati.htm
XENA: No, stop. You're a grown man. You're an honored
warrior, and yet you're still taken in by the same lies that school children cling to.
IOLAUS: They're not lies. I've seen the good that Hercules
can do. I've been there with him.
XENA: Then you should know better than anybody that all
Hercules is fighting for is to prove that he can succeed without Zeus and to get revenge on Hera for killing his family.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 179ati.htm
XENA: He's selfish, Iolaus. He's selfish right to the bone.
IOLAUS: I don't need to hear this.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 186ati.htm
XENA: And I don't need to hear that Hercules should be here instead of you. Fact is I think you're a better man that he will ever be-- or--
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 189ati.htm
(She kisses Iolaus....Ohhhh, she's goooddddd)
IOLAUS: Come on.
SCENE 3:
(Cut to Iolaus and Xena riding over a hill. In the distance will soon be a wagon pulled by horses and surrounds by a platoon of warriors with battle axes.)
IOLAUS: This is beautiful country. I can see why you're
fighting to keep it.
XENA: You're gonna do more than see.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_871.jpg
XENA: There. They're part of Petracus' legion.
IOLAUS: What do you want to do?
XENA: I want to wipe them off the face of the earth. Ya!! Ya!!
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_883.jpg
(Left behind by Xena as she gallops down the hill towards the guarded supply wagon, Iolaus starts talking to himself)
IOLAUS: I can't sit this one out.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 198ati.htm
SOLDIER 1: It's that murdering warrior, Xena.
SOLDIER 2: Watch out!
(Fight as Xena engages the enemy with Iolaus not far behind.)
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 200ati.htm
SOLDIERS: Xena! Let's go. Quickly!
XENA: Is this the best you've got? Ha! Bring it on!
(Iolaus and Xena end up back to back on the "battlefield)
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 210ati.htm
IOLAUS: Boy, you know how to show a guy a good time.
XENA: Don't talk. Fight.
IOLAUS: Okay.
(He disarms his opponent who quickly flees up the hill. Xena doesn't believe in leaving anyone alive or releasing prisoner and protests Iolaus' decision... loudly. In the skirmish, Iolaus loses the short blade/long dagger that he and Hercules made in the teaser.)
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 215ati.htm
XENA: Don't let him get away!
IOLAUS: Ah, it's over, Xena. Let him go.
XENA: What do you think you're doing? (Open mouth, insert foot)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1011.jpg
IOLAUS: No, we won. He's not coming back.
XENA: Yeah, I guess not.
IOLAUS: (The fanboy is in the house!) You were great. No, better than that, you were amazing.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 200ati.htm
XENA: (Shyness becomes her, too bad she's a FREAKING LIAR!) You don't have to say that. (She's good!)
IOLAUS: But it's true. The only warrior I've seen who is as
magnificent as you are, is Hercules.
XENA: I'm honored. (You should be)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1044.jpg
IOLAUS: You deserve to be. (But she's )
XENA: Well if you mean that, you won't try to stop me
burning the wagon.
Now THAT should have been a redflag for Iolaus. Why burn something your army can use, unless you are trying to demoralize your opponent before striking?

IOLAUS: What do you want to do?
XENA: I want to wipe them off the face of the earth. Ya!! Ya!!
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_883.jpg
(Left behind by Xena as she gallops down the hill towards the guarded supply wagon, Iolaus starts talking to himself)
IOLAUS: I can't sit this one out.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 198ati.htm
SOLDIER 1: It's that murdering warrior, Xena.
SOLDIER 2: Watch out!
(Fight as Xena engages the enemy with Iolaus not far behind.)
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 200ati.htm
SOLDIERS: Xena! Let's go. Quickly!
XENA: Is this the best you've got? Ha! Bring it on!
(Iolaus and Xena end up back to back on the "battlefield)
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 210ati.htm
IOLAUS: Boy, you know how to show a guy a good time.
XENA: Don't talk. Fight.
IOLAUS: Okay.
(He disarms his opponent who quickly flees up the hill. Xena doesn't believe in leaving anyone alive or releasing prisoner and protests Iolaus' decision... loudly. In the skirmish, Iolaus loses the short blade/long dagger that he and Hercules made in the teaser.)
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 215ati.htm
XENA: Don't let him get away!
IOLAUS: Ah, it's over, Xena. Let him go.
XENA: What do you think you're doing? (Open mouth, insert foot)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1011.jpg
IOLAUS: No, we won. He's not coming back.
XENA: Yeah, I guess not.
IOLAUS: (The fanboy is in the house!) You were great. No, better than that, you were amazing.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 200ati.htm
XENA: (Shyness becomes her, too bad she's a FREAKING LIAR!) You don't have to say that. (She's good!)
IOLAUS: But it's true. The only warrior I've seen who is as
magnificent as you are, is Hercules.
XENA: I'm honored. (You should be)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1044.jpg
IOLAUS: You deserve to be. (But she's
)XENA: Well if you mean that, you won't try to stop me
burning the wagon.
Now THAT should have been a redflag for Iolaus. Why burn something your army can use, unless you are trying to demoralize your opponent before striking?

Now lets be fair.
He's only an idiot
for about a 1/3 of the episode. The rest of the time he's actively being courted without any real reason to doubt Xena, or is fighting WITH Herc against Xena's minions.I was looking for a different Xena/Ioalus pic... and not only found one but found a neat article from Jan 1996 along with it.

Lucy raises a point that I always wondered about.
Americans tend to love foreign accents, esp the Brit/Scotch/Irish/Aussie/Kiwi ones, along with French/Italian.
What do "you guys" think of American accents? I assume the southern drawl is a fav but how weird does the flatter "middle America" accent sound?
This vid gets back at Kate Mulgrew for "speaking gibberish" in different accents at a fed con.

HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS season 1 episode #9
"WARRIOR PRINCESS"
ACT 2, SCENE 4:
(Cut to Xena's camp where soldiers are practicing and conversing among themselves)
Various members of Xena's Army:
That's it, swing harder.
No, no, drive forward when you strike.
Watch this, come in low.
WATCH GUARD: It's Xena!
SOLDIER 1: We were worried.
XENA: Give us some room. (she orders as she hops off her horse)
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 226ati.htm
SOLDIER 2: We thought something had happened.
XENA: Act like warriors.
ESTROGON: Who's this?
XENA: This is the man who gives us the power to defeat Petracus.
IOLAUS: I'm Iolaus.
XENA: He's Hercules' best friend, Estrogon. I've never seen
a man better with a sword. (To Iolaus) I want you to show me that move you used when you knocked the sword out of that soldier's hand.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1110.jpg
IOLAUS: (Grins like a schoolboy) Even though I didn't kill him with it?
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1117.jpg
XENA: (NOT looking like a "schoolgirl) I can fix that. So can you. (To her army) You've all got things to do. We'll never defeat Petracus if you just stand around.
SOLDIER: All right, back to work.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1139.jpg
XENA: (To Iolaus) As for you, come with me.
ACT 2, SCENE 5:
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1151.jpg
(Cut to Hercules coming upon the burning wagon and finding Iolaus' sword. He's not a happy camper.)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1158.jpg
ACT 2, SCENE 6:
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1168.jpg
(Cut to Iolaus in the tub, as Xena sits next to it washing his back.)
IOLAUS: I wasn't expecting this from somebody whose warriors treat her like a hero.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1171.jpg
XENA: You deserve what you get. I deserve what I get.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1169.jpg
IOLAUS: I'm not gonna argue with you. I saw the way you
handled yourself in that fight.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1186.jpg
XENA: Did I impress you?
IOLAUS: Well, when a woman asks me for help, I don't expect her to be so --
XENA: Independent? Violent?
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1182.jpg
IOLAUS: Yeah. And fearless, too.
XENA: Hard times breed hard people, Iolaus. There's no
avoiding that. My father was killed in battle (LIAR) and so were all three of my brothers. I won't be.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1208.jpg
IOLAUS: I admire your goal. But somewhere out there, there's a warlord who waits for an ocean of blood to keep you from achieving it-- if not Petracus, then the next one who comes along.
XENA: You sound like you're worried about me.
IOLAUS: Well, I am. It's not every day I meet a beautiful
woman that wants to wash my back.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1197.jpg
XENA: Oh, I will do more for you than that, Iolaus-- much
more.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1212.jpg
(She drops her gown and enters the tub with Iolaus.)
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 271ati.htm
IOLAUS: You do this for all your warriors?
(She's glided across the tub up into his face)
XENA: (Coos) Only special ones.
IOLAUS: Oh. I hope there aren't too many of those.
XENA: Right now, there's just you.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1248.jpg
(Knock at the door.)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1254.jpg
XENA: (HARSHLY) Come back later!
SOLDIER: But Hercules is here.
IOLAUS: Hercules?
XENA: He must have followed us.
IOLAUS: Why would he do that?
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 282ati.htm
XENA: Perhaps he doesn't trust me with you. (Oh... she's good)
IOLAUS: He shouldn't.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 285ati.htm
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 287ati.htm
XENA: Or maybe he doesn't think you're man enough to help me. (Oh... she's evil! )
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1286.jpg
IOLAUS: I better go see what he wants. (Dress before you go out there buddy!)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1289.jpg
ACT 2, SCENE 7:
(Cut to outside where Hercules is waiting for Iolaus.)
SOLDIER: You're a long way from home, Hercules.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1298.jpg
HERCULES: Hello, Iolaus.
IOLAUS: (Looks a little cross. Considering what Hercules interrupts, he has REASON to be a little cross!)I didn't expect to see you here, Hercules.
HERCULES: I didn't expect to come.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1300.jpg
IOLAUS: Well, you didn't have to. I thought we agreed on
that.
HERCULES: Well, that was before your warrior princess sent someone to kill me.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1313.jpg (Notice where the puppeteer is standing.)
IOLAUS: I don't like the way you're talking about a brave
woman.
HERCULES: Since when is there anything brave about sneak attacks or the people behind them?
IOLAUS: (Voice is getting harsher) I think you better turn around and go home now, Hercules.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1329.jpg (He knows who's pulling Iolaus' strings!)
HERCULES: I was hoping you'd go with me.
IOLAUS: No.
HERCULES: Even though she wants me dead?
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1320.jpg
IOLAUS: Where's your proof?
HERCULES: My words should be enough for you.
IOLAUS: It isn't.
HERCULES: I guess that means friendship doesn't count?
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1362.jpg
IOLAUS: Not when you poison it by coming here.
HERCULES: Iolaus, what are you talking about? You've got it all wrong.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1366.jpg (She's enjoying the show!)
IOLAUS: Just get out of here, Hercules. We're through
talking.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 311ati.htm
HERCULES: Why? Are you afraid of what you'll hear?
IOLAUS: Get out of here!
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1375.jpg
HERCULES: You haven't answered my question.
(Iolaus punches Hercules.)
HERCULES: I think you lost this.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1382.jpg
(Hercules throws Iolaus's knife to the ground.)
HERCULES: Goodbye, Iolaus.

HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS season 1 episode #9
"WARRIOR PRINCESS
ACT 3, SCENE 1:
(Cut to Tavern. Hercules sits at a table.)
VILLAGER 1: It's him, I tell you. I can tell from behind. Why don't you go ask him. Go on, what are you afraid of? Ask him.
VILLAGER 2: Have you-- taken care of her yet?
HERCULES: I don't know who you're talking about.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 323ati.htm
VILLAGER 2: Xena: The Warrior Princess, who else?
VILLAGER 1: She just wants to write her name across history in big bloody letters. She won't rest until she's wiped out everybody and everything that's stopping her from conquering Arcadia.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1419.jpg
VILLAGER 2: If we don't give her all our crops and our wares, she kills every man in sight.
VILLAGER 1: We're ordinary people, farmers and millhands, not warriors. You have to help us, Hercules.
VILLAGER 2: Come on, what do you say?
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1476.jpg
VILLAGERS: Please, Hercules. Help us, Hercules. Don't go. We need your help.
HERCULES: I'm sorry.
VILLAGER: Stay, Hercules.
HERCULES: I just don't have the strength right now.Excuse me.
VILLAGER: Don't desert us, Hercules.
PETRACUS: Hercules, wait!
HERCULES: Look, there's nothing more to talk about.
PETRACUS: Oh, yes there is. Why don't we start with whatever it is you lost? You want to tell me what it was?
HERCULES: It wasn't a 'what'; it was a 'who'. Best friend I ever had. Xena got him to fall in love with her and now she's turned him against me.
PETRACUS: If your friend took the trouble to look into her
past, he'd know that she was using him to get you here. Once she has your head hanging on her wall, she doesn't expect anybody to stand in her way.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1497.jpg
HERCULES: Well, somebody else will have to be her trophy.
I'm going home.
PETRACUS: I see. A night's rest would do you good. I-- I
could put you up at my place, if you like.
HERCULES: You sure it's no trouble?
PETRACUS: If it was, I wouldn't have invited you. The name's Petracus.
HERCULES: The warlord?
PETRACUS: [Laughs] Take a closer look at me, son. Do I look like a warlord to you?
HERCULES: No, you don't.
PETRACUS: No, of course not. I'm a farmer-- and an old one at that. Xena doesn't care anything for the truth when she's trying to get someone into her clutches. She takes my name and-- applies it to some imaginary madman who rose from Hades robbing shrines and-- murdering innocent people.
HERCULES: It sounds like she'll do anything to get what she wants.
PETRACUS: And she wants everything. And if she kills you, there'll be nothing to stop her.
SCENE 2:
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 326ati.htm
(Cut to Iolaus sharpening his blade.)
XENA: If he was really your friend, he wouldn't have come
here and tried to interfere.
IOLAUS: Well I guess you're right, Xena. It's just -- I've never been on a different side to Hercules before.
XENA: You didn't let that stop you from standing up to him.
You were a true warrior.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 329ati.htm
IOLAUS: If I was anything less, you wouldn't want me here. (Yup, you hit the nail on the head that time Iolaus!)
XENA: You've turned out to be everything I thought Hercules would be. But Hercules -- I can be fierce and violent, Iolaus, you've seen that for yourself. But to hear Hercules say what he said -- it was like having a dagger plunged through my heart. (Evil Xena! )
IOLAUS: I've ended my friendship with him.
XENA: Then you must be in pain, too.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 331ati.htm
IOLAUS: Not as long as I'm with you.
XENA: Come to bed when you're finished with your sword. I'll be waiting. (ohhhh, she's reminding him what he traded Hercules for that afternoon. She must have been pissed when he just stayed down there and kept sharpening his sword. 
)
SCENE 3:
(Cut to Xena and Estrogon. Am I the only one who thinks his name sounds like an over the counter treatment for menopause?
)
XENA: (Her snear is deadly) He turns into a whimpering dog every time I mention Hercules.
recycled image: http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1139.jpg
ESTROGON: Then he must die. (It's the ugly bald guy with the single pony tail)
XENA: Not by your hand, Estrogon. And not by mine. It's
Hercules who must kill him.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1565.jpg
ESTROGON: But Hercules is gone.
XENA: Then it's our job to bring him back. That is, if you
think you're brave enough to ride with me? ("Ride with me?" Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays???)
ESTROGON: You know I am. But, your strategy, I --
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 339ati.htm
XENA: A true warrior would understand that you demoralize
and weaken before you destroy. When Hercules realizes that he's killed his best friend, he'll be ripe for slaughter.
ESTROGON: When do we go after him?
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 341ati.htm
XENA: At dawn.
ESTROGON: And until then?
(
You can see him drooling over the Warrior Princess like a XWP subtexter. Oops! I think "I'M a subtexter. )
XENA: (Sarcasm, thy name is Xena) Save your strength.
SCENE 4:
(Cut to Petracus and Hercules at a grave site.)
PETRACUS: The most painful thing a parent can do is bury a child. My only son lies in that grave. He was barely 20 when he died at the hands of a Spartan. But it was really Xena who killed him.
HERCULES: You mean he fell into the same trap my friend is in?
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 349ati.htm
PETRACUS: I warned him. Begged, pleaded, argued. I even ran down the road after him the day he road off, begging him -- the one thing I didn't do was give up.
HERCULES: Is that what you think I'm doing, Petracus--
giving up?
PETRACUS: You tell me.
HERCULES: Your son was a very young man. Iolaus is an adult, capable of living his own life, making his own decisions.
PETRACUS: And it's all right if those decisions kill him?
HERCULES: You know it's not.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1627.jpg
PETRACUS: Then why are you letting him stay with that
murdering harlot? She's a monster, just like the Hydra and the Nemean Lion and the Stymphalian Bird. You didn't walk away from fighting them, Hercules, and you can't walk away from fighting her.
HERCULES: You're right; I can't. Thank you.
Act 3 continues:
He's my Brother.
"WARRIOR PRINCESS
ACT 3, SCENE 1:
(Cut to Tavern. Hercules sits at a table.)
VILLAGER 1: It's him, I tell you. I can tell from behind. Why don't you go ask him. Go on, what are you afraid of? Ask him.
VILLAGER 2: Have you-- taken care of her yet?
HERCULES: I don't know who you're talking about.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 323ati.htm
VILLAGER 2: Xena: The Warrior Princess, who else?
VILLAGER 1: She just wants to write her name across history in big bloody letters. She won't rest until she's wiped out everybody and everything that's stopping her from conquering Arcadia.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1419.jpg
VILLAGER 2: If we don't give her all our crops and our wares, she kills every man in sight.
VILLAGER 1: We're ordinary people, farmers and millhands, not warriors. You have to help us, Hercules.
VILLAGER 2: Come on, what do you say?
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1476.jpg
VILLAGERS: Please, Hercules. Help us, Hercules. Don't go. We need your help.
HERCULES: I'm sorry.
VILLAGER: Stay, Hercules.
HERCULES: I just don't have the strength right now.Excuse me.
VILLAGER: Don't desert us, Hercules.
PETRACUS: Hercules, wait!
HERCULES: Look, there's nothing more to talk about.
PETRACUS: Oh, yes there is. Why don't we start with whatever it is you lost? You want to tell me what it was?
HERCULES: It wasn't a 'what'; it was a 'who'. Best friend I ever had. Xena got him to fall in love with her and now she's turned him against me.
PETRACUS: If your friend took the trouble to look into her
past, he'd know that she was using him to get you here. Once she has your head hanging on her wall, she doesn't expect anybody to stand in her way.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1497.jpg
HERCULES: Well, somebody else will have to be her trophy.
I'm going home.
PETRACUS: I see. A night's rest would do you good. I-- I
could put you up at my place, if you like.
HERCULES: You sure it's no trouble?
PETRACUS: If it was, I wouldn't have invited you. The name's Petracus.
HERCULES: The warlord?
PETRACUS: [Laughs] Take a closer look at me, son. Do I look like a warlord to you?
HERCULES: No, you don't.
PETRACUS: No, of course not. I'm a farmer-- and an old one at that. Xena doesn't care anything for the truth when she's trying to get someone into her clutches. She takes my name and-- applies it to some imaginary madman who rose from Hades robbing shrines and-- murdering innocent people.
HERCULES: It sounds like she'll do anything to get what she wants.
PETRACUS: And she wants everything. And if she kills you, there'll be nothing to stop her.
SCENE 2:
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 326ati.htm
(Cut to Iolaus sharpening his blade.)
XENA: If he was really your friend, he wouldn't have come
here and tried to interfere.
IOLAUS: Well I guess you're right, Xena. It's just -- I've never been on a different side to Hercules before.
XENA: You didn't let that stop you from standing up to him.
You were a true warrior.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 329ati.htm
IOLAUS: If I was anything less, you wouldn't want me here. (Yup, you hit the nail on the head that time Iolaus!)
XENA: You've turned out to be everything I thought Hercules would be. But Hercules -- I can be fierce and violent, Iolaus, you've seen that for yourself. But to hear Hercules say what he said -- it was like having a dagger plunged through my heart. (Evil Xena!
) IOLAUS: I've ended my friendship with him.
XENA: Then you must be in pain, too.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 331ati.htm
IOLAUS: Not as long as I'm with you.
XENA: Come to bed when you're finished with your sword. I'll be waiting. (ohhhh, she's reminding him what he traded Hercules for that afternoon.
She must have been pissed when he just stayed down there and kept sharpening his sword. )SCENE 3:
(Cut to Xena and Estrogon. Am I the only one who thinks his name sounds like an over the counter treatment for menopause?
)XENA: (Her snear is deadly) He turns into a whimpering dog every time I mention Hercules.
recycled image: http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1139.jpg
ESTROGON: Then he must die. (It's the ugly bald guy with the single pony tail)
XENA: Not by your hand, Estrogon. And not by mine. It's
Hercules who must kill him.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1565.jpg
ESTROGON: But Hercules is gone.
XENA: Then it's our job to bring him back. That is, if you
think you're brave enough to ride with me? ("Ride with me?" Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays???)
ESTROGON: You know I am. But, your strategy, I --
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 339ati.htm
XENA: A true warrior would understand that you demoralize
and weaken before you destroy. When Hercules realizes that he's killed his best friend, he'll be ripe for slaughter.
ESTROGON: When do we go after him?
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 341ati.htm
XENA: At dawn.
ESTROGON: And until then?
(
You can see him drooling over the Warrior Princess like a XWP subtexter. Oops! I think "I'M a subtexter. )XENA: (Sarcasm, thy name is Xena) Save your strength.
SCENE 4:
(Cut to Petracus and Hercules at a grave site.)
PETRACUS: The most painful thing a parent can do is bury a child. My only son lies in that grave. He was barely 20 when he died at the hands of a Spartan. But it was really Xena who killed him.
HERCULES: You mean he fell into the same trap my friend is in?
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 349ati.htm
PETRACUS: I warned him. Begged, pleaded, argued. I even ran down the road after him the day he road off, begging him -- the one thing I didn't do was give up.
HERCULES: Is that what you think I'm doing, Petracus--
giving up?
PETRACUS: You tell me.
HERCULES: Your son was a very young man. Iolaus is an adult, capable of living his own life, making his own decisions.
PETRACUS: And it's all right if those decisions kill him?
HERCULES: You know it's not.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_1627.jpg
PETRACUS: Then why are you letting him stay with that
murdering harlot? She's a monster, just like the Hydra and the Nemean Lion and the Stymphalian Bird. You didn't walk away from fighting them, Hercules, and you can't walk away from fighting her.
HERCULES: You're right; I can't. Thank you.

HERCULES: Is that what she told you?
IOLAUS: Get a weapon, Hercules.
HERCULES: She's using you to get to me.
IOLAUS: Quit talking and get a weapon! I'm giving you the
chance you never gave Xena.
HERCULES: And what if I don't want it?

(Hercules and Iolaus fight.)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2071.jpg
IOLAUS: Fight, damn it! Quit acting like you're too good for
me!
HERCULES: I have never been too good for you! I'm just
trying to stay alive long enough for you to come to your senses!
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2093.jpg
(Fight continues as Xena coaches from the sidelines.)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2123.jpg
XENA: Yes. Kill him, Iolaus.
HERCULES: Xena, keep your goons out of this!
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2125.jpg
(He kicks a couple away as he speaks.)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2139.jpg
(Hercules disarms Iolaus and throws him to the ground
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2174.jpg
where he rolls and comes up with that knife he & his best bud were crafting in the ep's teaser.)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2177.jpg
HERCULES: Are you going to use it?
IOLAUS: No. This knife wasn't meant to draw your blood.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2182.jpg
(He's lying on the ground, and throws the short blade away, offering his life to the winner)
IOLAUS: Come on, let's get it over with.
HERCULES: (disgusted) I'm not going to kill you.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2187.jpg
IOLAUS: I was gonna kill you.
HERCULES: (doubtful) Were you?
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2190.jpg
(Evil Xena doesn't do "lovey-dovey" very well, does she. )
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2192.jpg
XENA: Get them!
(The boys turn back to back, to face the "horde" of Xenites attacking from all sides.)
HERCULES: We'll talk about this later.
IOLAUS: Sure.
XENA: I want them both dead.
(Xena's army attacks Hercules and Iolaus.)
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 451ati.htm
IOLAUS: Hercules, behind you!
Xena knows when to throw in the towel... especially as her troops are falling one by one to the two heroes.
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 448ati.htm
XENA: Let's get out of here! Come on, move!
IOLAUS: Hercules! Hercules! (He's lying across a horse, getting the tar beat out of him. Herc, naturally, comes to the rescue!)
SOLDIER: Let's go! Let's get out of here!
(Goading the Princess who's riding away)
HERCULES: Aren't you even gonna say goodbye?!?
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 461ati.htm
XENA: Ha! You haven't heard the last of me, Hercules! Yah!
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2314.jpg
(Xena and the rest of her army ride off.)
IOLAUS: You know-- you could have caught her-- if you hadn't saved me.
HERCULES: You're a little more important than she is.
IOLAUS: I don't know which hurts worse-- my head or--
knowing how stupid I was.
HERCULES: It always helps to know what you're fighting for
before you start fighting.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2332.jpg
IOLAUS: Is this where the lecture starts?
HERCULES: It could be-- but it won't.
SCENE 6:
And as they walk across the fields, "into the metaphorical sunset"...
http://www.mikes-images.com/eps/warrior/pages/warrior mq 470ati.htm
IOLAUS: You know, if you really want to lecture me, it
should be about the kind of woman I'm attracted to.
HERCULES: After Xena, you'd be better off falling in love
with a black widow.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2343.jpg
(Uh, that's Gabrielle AKA "The Black widow of Potadiea"... and come to think of it, didn't SHE kiss Iolaus at least once? And doesn't something untoward happen to the "little man" as X:WP calls him.)
IOLAUS: Maybe I'll just give up women altogether. What do
you think?
HERCULES: I think it would be a good idea.
IOLAUS: Yeah (DOUBLETAKE!) Wait a minute!
HERCULES: Iolaus, it seems like an awful lot like for a
red-blooded man like you to be walking away from.
IOLAUS: Yeah, you're right. Only next time, give me a woman who wants to kill me with kisses.

THE END
Hooked on a feeling:
And I thought XENA: WP was filled with eyecandy!

ACT 4, SCENE 5:
(Iolaus goes outside to confront Hercules, but the big man blows right by his friend to get at Xena.)
IOLAUS: I can't believe you'd show your face here.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2038.jpg
HERCULES: Stay out of this, Iolaus. My fight's with Xena,
not you.
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2035.jpg
IOLAUS: Don't push me aside! You're the one that attacked Xena and killed the warrior with her.
HERCULES: Is that what she told you?
IOLAUS: Get a weapon, Hercules.
HERCULES: She's using you to get to me.
IOLAUS: Quit talking and get a weapon! I'm giving you the
chance you never gave Xena.
HERCULES: And what if I don't want it?
IOLAUS: You don't get off that easy.
(Iolaus grabs a sword from a nearby soldier and throws it at Hercules despite Xena's loud protestations.)
http://miroirdarc.com/hercules/s1/wp/herc_wp_dArc_2050.jpg
XENA: What are you doing?!

Maybe an episode or two, but if I did it was only by accident. These guys weren't really on my radar screen back then... IF they were on my TV at all.
I only had exposure to a couple of stations until they made satellite dishes small and afforable in the last decade.
