Hanna-Barbera's Hercules - Baby Hercules Gets Adopted!
- (Mount Olympus, dusk. The night sky is brought over Mount Olympus by the night god, Nyk, driving his goats across the atmosphere. Baby Hercules and Baby Pegasus are sleeping together. The shadows of Pain and Panic crawl over Baby Hercules and grab him. The sounds of glass breaking and Pain and Panic tittering make Zeus and Hera wake up.)
- Zeus: Huh?
- Hera: What? What happened?
- Both: The baby! (They run to the cradle but find only the Baby Pegasus)
- Hera: Hercules! Oh! (She starts sobbing.)
- Zeus: (booming) NOOOOOOO!!!
- (As he screams like King Neptune, lightning bolts flash and a giant thunderstorm rages over Olympus. Pain and Panic are flying down to Earth, carrying Baby Hercules.)
- Panic: Now, we did it! Zeus is gonna use us for target practice!
- Pain: Just hang onto the kid, Panic!
- (They fall, and Baby Hercules starts crying like Roshan.)
- Panic: Hurry! Let's just kill the kid and get it over with, okay?
- Pain: (opening the vial) Here you go, kid. A little Grecian formula.
- Panic: Look at that! He's... changing. (Baby Hercules stops glowing as he drinks the potion) Can we do it now?
- Pain: No, no, no, he has to drink the whole potion! Every last drop.
- Amphitryon: (offscreen) Who's there? (Pain and Panic run away, dropping the empty vial. It breaks and one last drop falls into the ground.) Alcmene, over here.
- Alcmene: Oh, you poor thing! Oh, don't cry.
- Amphitryon: Is anybody there?
- (Pain and Panic look from the bushes.)
- Panic: Now?
- Pain: Now. (Their shadows are shown as they walk and transform into snakes)
- Alcmene: Oh well, he must have been abandoned. For so many years we've prayed to the gods to bless us with a child. (Amphitryon reads Hercules' name from a medallion on his neck.) Perhaps, they've answered our prayers.
- Amphitryion: Perhaps they have... Hercules?
- (Pain and Panic, as snakes, attack, but Baby Hercules catches them, and giggling soundly like Roshan, hits them several times against the ground, ties into a knot and throws far away. Amphitryon and Alcmene stare with they jaws dropped)
- Pain and Panic: Help, help, help! (they turn to their normal forms)
- Panic: Hades is gonna kill us when he finds out what happened.
- Pain: You mean, *if* he finds out!
- Panic: Of course he's gonna f-- If.. if is good.
