Prove that a subset S of a group G cannot be a right coset of two different subgroups of G.

I having a hard time proving this... but this is what I have so far;
Fix z in Hz and since z = ez where e is in H. Then assume z in Hy by the right coset equation then with x = z we see that Hz = Hy and if Hx intersection of Hy [tex]\neq[/tex] to the empty set... that as far as i got. Please help
