-Odysseus, thirty years...
-Penelope, I made it...
-Could not you have sped up?
-The gods decide, not man:
determine currents, winds,
and set the waves in motion...
I'm back. I've gone through all.
I want to see my son.
-The war was over it seems a life ago,
and everybody's back, except for those dead...
-I fooled the Trojans with a horse, we put them low...
-I heard. What took you, though, so long my friend?
-The gods are so bored with fighting one another
That may not man become a reason for a bet…
I've been a hero long. I want to be a father.
I want to pay my son that very special debt.
-Odysseus, thirty years...
