Speaker A
I have been around the block before with blockheads just like you.
Speaker A
Each and every one a disappointment, pain, for which there ain't no ointment.
Speaker A
So much for excuses, tell a kid of Zeus's, asking me to jump into the fray.
Speaker A
My answer is two words.
Speaker A
Okay.
Speaker A
Oh, you win.
Speaker A
Oh, gosh.
Speaker A
Phew.
Speaker A
I'd given up hope that someone would come along.
Speaker A
A fella who'd ring the bell for once, not the gong.
Speaker A
The kind who wins trophies, won't settle for low fees, at least semi-pro fees.
Speaker A
But no, I get the greenhorn.
Speaker A
I've been out to pasture, pal, my ambition gone, content to spend lazy days into graze my lawn.
Speaker A
But you need an advisor, a shade of bit wiser.
Speaker A
A good merchandiser, and whoa, there goes my ulcer.
Speaker A
I'm down to one last hope, and I hope it's you.
Speaker A
Though, kid, you're not exactly a dream come true.
Speaker A
I've trained enough turkeys who never came through.
Speaker A
You're my one last hope, so you'll have to do.
Speaker A
Demigods have faced the odds.
Speaker A
And ended up a mockery.
Speaker A
Don't believe the stories that you read on all the crockery.
Speaker A
To be a true hero, kid, is a dying art.
Speaker A
Like painting a masterpiece.
Speaker A
It's a work of heart.
Speaker A
It takes more than sinew.
Speaker A
Comes down to what's in you.
Speaker A
You have to continue to grow.
Speaker A
Now that's more like it!
Speaker A
I'm down to one last shot, and my last I know.
Speaker A
Before that blasted Underworld gets my goat.
Speaker A
My dreams are on you, kid, go make 'em come true.
Speaker A
Climb that uphill slope, keep pushing that envelope.
Speaker A
You're my one last hope, and kid, it's up to you.
Speaker A
Yeah!
