Aegina
- Aegina: Hey, you're goin' about this all wrong. I just hope you know that.
- Hercules: Just because I had a weak moment, and told you about my wife and kids, doesn't mean you get to judge me.
- Aegina: I'm not judging you. I just think you should do something to honor their memory-- that's all.
- Hercules: They'd want me to do exactly what I'm doing. Now, be careful.
- Aegina: I know what I'm-- Ahhh!
- [she trips on a branch]
- Aegina: [it is now night and Hercules is banding Aegina's leg]
- Hercules: This should take the swelling down.
- Aegina: Ah, it feels good. But you don't have to fuss over me.
- Hercules: I'm not fussing over you. All right, I just want you to be-- ready to cover some ground tomorrow.
- Aegina: Aw-- you're gonna be eating my dust again.
- Hercules: That's fine-- as long as I don't have to carry you.
- Aegina: I really was right, you know.
- Hercules: About what?
- Aegina: About how you should forget that witch you have, for a step-mother? About how no amount of revenge will ever bring your family back?
- Hercules: Nothing is. That's the trouble.
- Aegina: I'm sorry. I mean, I don't think I've said that. You really do have my sympathy. But you can't let it turn you into something you're not.
- Hercules: So, you still in one piece?
- Aegina: Yeah. Thanks.
- Hercules: Here.
- [he helps her with her ropes around her wrists]
- Aegina: Hey, so-- what was that all about in there? 'Cause saving me definitely wasn't the first thing on your mind.
- Hercules: It's personal.
- Aegina: Those bug-eyed loons you just beat up? Caught me stealing food. Well, an escaped slave's gotta eat, doesn't she?
- Hercules: You're free now. I don't believe in slavery.
- Aegina: What, just like that? I'm free?
- Hercules: Just like that.
- Aegina: Well, hey! Who are you, anyway?
- Hercules: I'm Hercules.
- Aegina: You're Hercules?
- Hercules: You know? I'm sick and tired of people asking me that.
- Aegina: No, I-I believe you. You're Hercules. I'm Aegina.
- Hercules: Well-- maybe we'll meet again, Aegina.
- Aegina: Hey, what's your rush?
- Hercules: Hera has six more temples-- and I'm going to destroy all of 'em.
- Aegina: What, and leave me out here all by myself? You know-- choosing mayhem over chivalry won't do much for your reputation.
- Hercules: Well, my reputation is the last thing I'm worrying about right now.
- Aegina: Okay, look-- I'm not asking you to take me around the world. I just want you to get me back to Ister. It's where I'm from, and-- it's really great-- you know, even if I was a slave.
