Hercules and the rest of the team are training with Phil.

Phil:Stay on your toes, kid.A dragon has a wide turning radius.

Hercules destroys the fake dragon with his sword.

Phil: Girls. Watch your distance! One false move and you're in the underworld.

Isabella tries her best but ends up falling on her own two feet. Xia destroys one of the dragons and Sunshine used her plant powers to hold the others down. The other girls took them out while Hercules finishes off the dragon.

Hercules:Easy enough.

Phil shoots tomatoes at Hercules.

Hercules:Blech, oh, man!

Phil:Hero rule number 72:Assess the situation.

Hercules:Situation assessed.I'm battling a dragon
that breathes vegetables.

Phil:Rookie, a tomato is a fruit.Where would you be without me?

Hades:How is it possible that this Demiclod could defeat moi.

Hey, we were watching that!

Hades:Pardon me?

Oh, uh, sorry, no,

Pain:uh... What is the deal? I mean, the kid can't
even tie his own sandals.

Panic:Unless the goat-man talks him through it.

Hades:The goat-man... Philoctetes...Trainer of heroes.
He's showing Hercules the ropes.He's teaching him
the tricks of the trade,filling his head with all
those pithy hero rules.

Panic:You're making some big leaps here.

Pain:And we're just not keeping up.

Hades:Boys, boys,if we promote Phil
to the big leagues,why, he'll dump the chump.

Panic:I don't know. That old goat is very sentimental.

Hades:Yes, I know.Phil's Achilles heel.

Welcome to the Arcadia County fair.Unfortunately, the
two-headed pig from Macedonia cancelled on us.
However, we do have a famous hero,live and in person.
The one and only... Achilles!I know. It was short notice.

Achilles:That's right, folks,here I am, Achilles, eh?

I wanted the two-headed pig.

Achilles:How about an autograph, chief?

OK.You could sign it,"To my biggest fan..."

Achilles:Sure.
"...From the two-headed pig."

Achilles:Hey, crybaby, do you know who I am?

Um, yeah, you're Achilles,the guy who used
to be a big shot hero and was invincible everywhere except your heel,and then you got nailed in the
heel and you became a big fat loser.

Achilles:Uh... Is "Two-headed" hyphenated? So I'm not the guy I used to be?Huh? Eh?

Oh, Achilles!

Can we have your autograph, huh?

Hades:Wow. Just like the old days, huh, Achilles?

Achilles:Who are you?

Hades:Hades, Lord of the Dead. How you doing? Nice gut.

Achilles:Is it my time?

Hades:No, no, no, you got lots of time... Six years.
Anyway... ahem... I am actually here because I'm a huge, huge fan.
