[last words before dying] You're Odysse...
View Quote
Telemachus: [walks up] He deserves the same welcome as all of you!
Polybus: Are you calling us beggars?
Telemachus: I'm saying you've been welcome here for three years.
Antinous: We've only enjoyed your hospitality for so long. Because your mother won't choose.
Telemachus: She's already married.
Antinous: Odysseus is dead.
Telemachus: What do you know about my dad?
Antinous: I know he kept stringing cattle in bad wine.
Telemachus: You had the best of it the first two seasons.
Antinous: I know he never came home.
Telemachus: Not yet.
Antinous: [leans in] You're pining for a daddy you didn't even know. Like some sniffling bastard.
Telemachus: Well, since none of us can really know who our fathers are. Don't cling to one.
Antinous: But I did know him. As boys. We watched him hunt. I tried to volunteers for his expedition to Troy. He told me to stay here and keep an eye on you.
Telemachus: Oh, me and my mother?
Antinous: You can't blame me for looking.
Telemachus: My dad is coming home. And his hospitality won't be as generous as hers.
Antinous: So he doesn't follow Zeus' law then?
Telemachus: Zeus' law tells us to treat strangers as we should be treated because they might be gods in disguise. I think we've established to Antinous that you were not a god.
Polybus: This one doesn't smell like a god.
Telemachus: Wouldn't be much of a disguise if he did. [the beggar restrains Polybus] Careful. He might strike you down right now. [thunder claps]
Beggar: [walking with Telemachus] That thunder was luck.
Telemachus: I don't know. You have wise eyes. Athena's eyes.
Polybus: Are you calling us beggars?
