Troy the Odyssey Page #4

---

And you put a

curse on my name.

War has made us equals.

I guess we will suffer

through this alone.

We should throw that

Trojan b*tch into the sea!

ODYSSEUS:
No.

We need her for protection in

case the Kraken should return.

Besides, I think there's

some good in her.

Out here, there are no Trojans.

There are no Greeks.

We are all orphans of the sea.

She is one of us now.

Land ho!

A rose pink island.

This is strange.

What could make an

island turn that color?

Old Thelonious, have you

ever seen such a place?

No, my Lord.

An island of pink flowers.

Pink flowers on

an island seen...

The Siren's call

is like a dream.

They'll tell you what

you want to hear...

To solve your quest,

but you must fear.

The knowledge gave will

bring your fall...

You must beware

the Siren's call.

Sirens.

It's an old poem my mother

used to sing to me.

Sirens seduce men

with their song

and if a man hears it,

he cannot help but go to them...

and he pays with his life.

Sirens are a myth.

No, they are as real

as you and I.

And if you have a question and

ask them, they will answer it,

for they know all things.

But you will be lost forever.

SIREN:
Come.

Come to us, brave Odysseus.

Did you hear that?

What?

SIREN:
We will tell you

what you need to know.

We will tell you the way home.

I wish to sail close

to the island

so I can hear

the Sirens' song.

But your men will die.

We must find a way home.

We will plug the men's ears

with wax.

Eurylochus, throw me a rope.

You will tie me to the mast

and we will sail

towards the island.

CIRCE:
This is madness.

I must return my men at home.

Tie me.

Tighter.

Listen to me, men!

Cover your ears with

wax until

we are past the island

of the sirens.

Only I shall hear their call.

No matter what I say or what

I do, do not untie me.

Not until we are well

past the island

and then, only then,

can you undo my ropes.

Let one of the

other men do this.

- No.

- I must do this myself.

- I am a woman...

- safe from their song.

I will stay by your side.

Very well.

Forgive me for what

you are about to see.

[soft humming]

AESUS:
Do you hear anything,

my Lord?

I am not sure.

- SIREN:
Odysseus?

- Odysseus?

We have been waiting for you.

We have a message.

Love waits, love waits.

Love waits for no man.

Take it, seize it...

you are mighty.

There is a wealth of

love abounding here.

Love, sweet love.

We will tell you all.

We know everything.

Tell me what I need to know!

- SIREN:
Penelope.

- Penelope awaits.

Ithaca awaits you.

[whooshing]

Tell me the way home!

The Paths of the Dead,

to the paths...

and then to Ithaca.

A long voyage to the south,
