Let me guess...
You're the Cyclops.
Take a good look, because I'm the last thing you're ever gonna see!
That's what they all say.
Stand still!
Why don't I help you move?
Die!
I'm gonna go easy!
Tired yet?
Hey, where'd you go?
Just kill me and get it over with.
I think I'd rather find out why you're always in such a rotten mood.
Go ahead.
Drink should always be on the loser.
It's from the water I guard.
Now I understand why the villagers want their river back.
It's not their river.
They got there before Hera did.
Averting it was a crime.
I'd like it better if you'd say I...
stole it from those gutless wonders in Trachys.
Why do you hate them so much?
Because they hated me first!
It started when I was a boy.
Geek!
Freak!
Monster!
I heard it all.
Admit it.
You were thinking the same thing when you came after me.
Yeah, I was.
You get tired of it after a while.
Tired isn't the reason to work for Hera.
Loyalty doesn't mean anything to her.
All she cares about is her wine.
I don't work for Hera.
I work for Castor, the man in charge of the vineyard.
He's the only one who ever treated me halfway decent.
And that ended when you didn't kill me.
And you know it.
If you want me to fight for the villagers, forget it!
They don't care about me.
Why should I care about them?
Because now Hera is going to hate you as much as she hates the villagers.
Well, then I guess we're all out of luck.
Not if you give each other a chance.
Psst.
That's what you think.
You're the one who has to do the thinking.
It's the first labor I've ever done!
Well, you've set a good example.
But there's months of work here. I hope these people realize that.
If they were afraid of challenges, they would have run off by now.
How about you, Hercules? You going back on the road?
Sooner or later. I always do.
Well, that's a shame. We could use someone like you.
Go back where you came from!
I'm not here to hurt you.
Freak!
Don't!
Give him a chance!
He never gives us a chance!
Stop it! He doesn't listen to Hercules!
Hercules is not one of us!
Come back!
Of course.
Wait!
Don't!
You're crazy!
Don't go!
Don't go, Scylla!
