POSEIDON
There you are, coward.
I've been waiting for this moment...
for the perfect time to strike.
When you home's so close and you've reached your coast...
That's when our paths collide.
I've got a reputation.
I've got a name to uphold.
So I can't go letting you walk or else the world forgets I'm cold.
Now get in the water.
Get in the water.
...Or I'll raise the tide so high
All of Ithaca will die.
Get in the water.
ODYSSEUS
Wait!
POSEIDON
Get in the water.
ODYSSEUS
Stop this. Please...
POSEIDON
I'll make tidal wave so profound.
Both your wife and your son will drown.
ODYSSEUS
No!
POSEIDON
Get in the water!
Get in the water!
Don't mistake my threats for bluff!
You have lived more than enough!
Get in the water!
Get in the water!
I'll take your son and gouge his eyes!
That is, unless you choose to die!
Get in the water!
ODYSSEUS
Aren't you tired, Poseidon?
it's been 10 years.
How long will this go?
We're both hurting from losses so why not leave this here and just go home?
POSEIDON
...I can't.
ODYSSEUS
Maybe you could learn to forgive
POSEIDON
...NO.
Ruthlessness is...
...mercy upon...
...ourselves!
DIE!!!
POLITES
You can relax my friend
I can tell you're getting nervous
EURYLOCHUS
Look at all we've lost and all we've learned
ODY'S MOM
I'm still in your heart
CREWS
Oh——Odysseus
Waiting, waiting, waiting on
