Quotes 

• [At the retirement home, Adonis has one of the boarders cleaning his feet] 

  Hercules : Adonis, aren't you supposed to be helping him?

  Adonis : It's a win-win.

  Adonis : Here, make him taste my blade.

• Gaia : Who dares disturb the slumber of Gaia?

  Adonis : [Points to a worker]  That's him! The one with the pickaxe! The soon-to-be-cursed chap wearing the thing.

  Gaia : You arrogant, little mortal! I see through your flimsy lies!

  Adonis : Would sturdier lies help? I could shore them up with some half-truths.

• [Hercules and Adonis are trying to impress Circe] 

  Adonis : First of all, look at this tan. Have you ever seen such a beautiful sight?

  Adonis : Yes, and you will live there with all your elf and pixie friends. Right, Hercules? What fun!

  [Whispering to Circe] 

  Adonis : He's crazy.
