EPIC FAN SONG:
…
[TELEMACHUS]
…Hmm
I can’t believe it.. father is back.
Knowing what I know probably lacks.
What he’s been through. What he’s done.
But now… it’s gone too late.
[PISISTRATUS]
O, Prince Telemachus! Your father-
He has a message.
Nothing less and-
Don’t be late. Like last time.
[TELEMACHUS]
Oh shush.
I’ll be there.
Give me a moment to be ready…
….
[TELEMACHUS]
Father.
What did you want to-
Speak to me for?
I know you have comeback.. from all the
Waging wars.
How have you..
Stayed calm from all you’ve been through?…
All you heard were screams.
Every time you dared to close your eyes.
You no longer dreamed..
Only nightmares of those who died.
Nothing was what it seemed.
And now that you’re with us now.
You’ll be alright?
Now?…
[ODYSSEUS]
Oh my son.
Sorry for the delay.
But now it’s a bit too late.
But here’s the news.
I will make it quick.
You don’t choose.
But there will be visitors for a bit.
[TELEMACHUS]
Visitors?
[ODYSSEUS]
Yes.
The Phaecians.
The ones who freed and-
Helped the journey home…
I knew Alcinous especially.
And oh Arete-
Oh, so sweet.
But that’s not the reason I called you for…
They have a daughter you can score…
[TELEMACHUS]
Oh father—Woah.
Are you planning on arranging me?
[ODYSSEUS]
Not exactly.
But she knows Athene, and so do you.
[TELEMACHUS]
Oh I hope it’s true..
[PENELOPE]
Here comes the ships!
[TELEMACHUS, PENELOPE, ODYSSEUS, ALL]
Ohh..
I know it will be hard.
We’re waiting.. waiting..
I knew you were waiting.. waiting.
Time was fleeting it was running out.
Time to be the man of the house.
…
[NAUSICAÄ]
Father.. great king.
Why have we come to this place here?
[ALCINOUS]
This is the home of Odysseus, well.
[ARETE]
You’ll love it here.
[ALCINOUS]
They have a prince to know—oh don’t steer!
This the home of Odysseus.
Don’t run away now.
Maybe you can make a friend or no-
….
[NAUSICAÄ]
Fine…
[TELEMACHUS, (NAUSICAÄ), BOTH]
Now—
Time was fleeting its running out.
Will I be the man of the house. (Will I meet the man of the house?…)
Oh they’re all.. (Hope is..)
fleeing.
No! (Is this a joke?)
I don’t want this to happen.
Pause. They see eachother. For a beat.
[TELEMACHUS, (NAUSICAÄ), BOTH]
Oh dear… (Oh I fear..)
No one can resist…
This… may be the one.
