While inside Hercules hits his head against a wooden mast

Ow. Young Hercules said

Watch it! That was part of the mast of the Argo. Phil said

Argo? Sophitia said

The Argo? Young Hercules said

No way. Punk said

Yeah. Who do you think taught Jason how to sail? Cleopatra? Phil said

Not really. Punk said

Exactly. Phil said

Can you tell us more? Batman said

Sure. Phil said

Phil then shows the gang a row of helmets

I trained all those would-be heroes. Odysseus, Perseus, Theseus. A lot of "yeuseus." Phil said

Obviously. Punk said

And every single one of those bums let me down. Flatter than a discus. None of them could go the distance. Phil said

That's sad. Sophitia said

Oh it is. But then there was Achilles. Phil said

Achilles? Punk said

Yeah. Now there was a guy who had it all - the build, the foot speed. He could jab, he could take a hit, he could keep on comin'. But... Phil said

But what? Batman said

But that furshlugginer heel of his! He barely gets nicked there once and - kaboom! He's history. Phil said

Whoa. Punk said

I see. Batman said

Wow. Sophitia said

No way. Young Hercules said

Yeah, I had a dream once. I dreamed I was gonna train the greatest hero there ever was. Phil said

Really? Punk said

Yeah. So great the gods would hang a picture of him in the stars... All across the sky, and people would say, "That's Phil's boy." That's right. Phil said

That's amazing. Sophitia said

Yeah...but eh, dreams are for rookies. A guy can only take so much disappointment. So... Phil said

But i'm different than those other guys, Phil! Young Hercules said

You're different than these guys? Phil said

Yeah. Young Hercules said

It's true. Sophitia said

Different how? Phil said

I can go the distance Come on, i'll show you. Young Hercules said

Young Hercules then takes Phil's hand and went outside

Hercules where are you going? Sophitia said

I need to show Phil something. Young Hercules said

Aw crap. Punk said

Let's go after them. Batman said

Okay. Sophitia said

Yeah let's go. Punk said
