Hercules: First, I must loosen up. I am very tight. [ continues to stretch ]
Helena: Hercules! I beg you.

Hercules: [ starting to raise the boulder, stopping suddenly ]
My back! I think I pulled it! [ he lays on the ground, as Helena runs over to help ] This happened once before. Leave me alone. If I lie flat like this, it will fix itself.
