(thunder crashing)

(waves smashing)

(peaceful orchestral music)

Hm.

Hm.

(laughing)

I'm flattered.

(door knocking)

(trumpet fanfare)

Hm.

His Highness, Prince Pellos,

is here to transact official business with Queen Penelope.

(yawning)

My dear, the Athenian Senate has decided

it's time you got yourself a new king.

We are to marry immediately.

You're out of your mind.

I'm married already.

Are you referring to Ulysses?!

Oh, come off it, Penelope.

He must be long dead by now.

I'm sure I'll be happy here.

I swore a sacred oath that I would never renounce Ulysses

and remarry until my tapestry was complete.

Then go ahead and finish it, my sweet.

While I take a nap.

Put some drapes on these windows, Kritos.

This glare is so tiring on the eyes.

As you wish, Your Highness.

- [Pellos] Of course, everything is so tiring these days.

Luckily, the island is on the small side,

so it shouldn't be too hard to govern.

And I suppose taxes won't be that difficult too.

Ach, that prince can wait forever,

but he'll never marry me.

How could anyone be so arrogant?

(playful marimba music)

Hm.

Hm, hm.

(Diomedes groaning)

Who's going to help me haul up the net?

(owl hooting)

- [Titan] Me hungry.

(yelling)

Huh?

Talk about a pathetic catch.

Not one single scrawny fish.

(sighing)

(owl hooting)

(gasping)

Look out.

There's danger ahead!

(owl hooting)

(grunting)

Row harder!

(grunting)

(yelling)

(panting)

My ship!

My darling, precious ship!

I wish I could fix it, but it's way beyond repair.

(owl hooting)

(gasping)

What was that?

Hm.

(shell chiming)

A miracle.

(gasping)

I don't believe in miracles.

But this is really, really strange.

The sea was whipping.

The ship was ripping.

But from Zephyr's despair came instant repair.

(laughing)

Too bad this won't fill my aching stomach.

Ugh, what I wouldn't give for a fish.

(owl hooting)

Upon my word!

(gasping)

A fish.

You see that?

A juicy little fish.

Cornucopia.

Cornucopia.

Of course, it makes perfect sense.

The shell repaired the ship for Zephyr

and produced a fish for Diomedes.

It made their wishes come true.

You mean this conch saved our lives?

It's a magic conch.

Cornucopia, the Horn of Plenty.

Just tell it a wish and it'll make it come true.

I'd like a bigger fish with a bit of horseradish.

I'm afraid it only grants one wish per person.

Huh, it's all a load of bunkum if you ask me.

We'll soon see about that.

(laughing)

I wish for nothing more than to eat a fish

in horseradish sauce.

Thank you.

You've just wasted your wish on two measly fish?

Uh, well, I guess.

Give it here.

I do better.

A feast for everyone.

(cheering and laughing)

(chewing and slurping)

My turn.

I wanna be the richest man in the world.

Yeah, yeah!

(laughing)

Help.

You are, like, so selfish!

How is you being rich gonna get us back home?

(gasping)

(eerie music)

(screaming)

Keep your wish, Nisa.

You'll need it to save yours and Telemachus' lives.

Have you just had another of your waking nightmares?

I saw Telemachus.

He was in danger.

What exactly did you see?

It looked like Poseidon was suffocating him.

Oh, Telemachus.

I'd give the world to be with him, to help him.

Look Ulysses.

The Horn of Plenty is gonna make your wish come true.

(mystical flute music)

What the?

What is going on?

Oh, the Horn is blowing us back to Ithaca, that's what!

Don't be afraid, Telemachus.

My odyssey is over.

I'm coming home.

You're not home and dry yet, Ulysses.

I hadn't banked on you finding the Horn.

But now that you have,

I'm going to have to resort

to the most drastic means possible.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(Pellos snoring)

(gasping)

(growling)

- [Pellos] Ah, help, guards!

Your Highness.

(laughing)

How can you be king when you're afraid of a kid like me?

Why don't you just go home?

Let go of me.

Stop this intrusion.

Kritos, Kritos!

Guards, seize him.

When my dad gets back,

he's going to beat you to a little tiny pulp.

Take him away.

I never want to see that little pest again.

Everybody on this island hates me, Kritos.

What should I do?

Take a nice long bath and forget about it.

Yes, okay.

A bath.

Good idea, Kritos.

Good idea.

To review, both mother and son hate me.

If only Ulysses were really dead.

- [Poseidon] That, King Pellos, can be arranged.

Who said that?

Oh no.

Now the island is after me as well.

Relax.

You'll learn to like it.

Who are you?

What do you want from me?

It's simple.

If you do as I say,

you'll marry Penelope and no one

will mention Ulysses ever again.

I'll do whatever you want.

But please don't hurt me.

I want you to hand Telemachus over to me.

Grab him tonight.

Do as I say and the kingdom of Ithaca will be yours.

Well, go on then.

Scat.

Of course, sir.

Your wish is my command.

(grumbling)

I'll be back in the flick of a fish's tail.

(whimpering)

(Telemachus grunting)

Leave him.

The sea will take care of him.

(Telemachus grunting)

Woo, I'd better get back before I catch a cold.

- [Diomedes] Hm.

The Caspian Isles.

We're finally on our way home to Ithaca.

Ah, only a day away.

And to think I was almost starting to lose faith.

(gasping)

I think you'd better come and take a look, Ulysses.

Something fishy's going on here.

(mast creaking)

Turn back, Dates.

This is not the way to Ithaca.

Something's gotten control of the helm.

There's nothing I can do.

(wind whistling)

Oh.

This is your doing, Ulysses.

You told the Horn you wanted to be with Telemachus,

not that you wanted to get back to Ithaca.

So Telemachus isn't in Ithaca right now?

(Telemachus grunting)

My poor little tadpole.

Your father has done some very silly things.

And because of him,

you're going to pay the price.

Time to remove your gag.

(coughing)

Daddy's coming now.

You can shout as hard as you like.

Dad, is that you?

Stay back, Dad.

Stay back.

What are we heading for now?

(Philo whimpering)

- [Philo] The Columns of Hercules.

(crew gasping)

- [Zephyr] Look, they're wonderful.

Help me, everyone.

We've got to stop the ship!

(suspenseful music)

Look, over there.

It's Telemachus.

Dad, don't come any nearer, Dad!

Dad, Dad!

We've got to go and pick him up.

No way, Ulysses.

The currents are too strong.

They'll force us over the edge.

That's my son out there.

We've got try!

Huh?

Hm.

Zephyr, I want you at the helm.

When I tell you, bring in the sail.

The rest of you,

get ready to drop anchor.

No, stay away!

Enjoy your dip, Ulysses.

All right, Titan, now!

(Titan growling)

Drop anchor!

(wind whistling)

We're too heavy.

We're gonna have to dump some ballast.

- [Dates] Oh no, not my gold.

- [Ulysses] Sorry, Dates.

No, no!

My jewels.

My coins, my treasure.

(sobbing)

(eerie chime music)

Hold on tight, Telemachus!

I'm coming!

Don't do it, Dad.

It's a trap.

(yelling)

How nice to see you again, Ulysses,

especially since you seem to be in quite a fix.

I've always outsmarted you, Poseidon.

You don't impress me.

Hmph.

Unfortunately for you,

this time I have added a new string to my bow.

(Telemachus whimpering)

Hm.

Why are you so set against me, Poseidon?

I made a bet you'd never make it back to Ithaca.

And if there's one thing I hate, it's losing.

But my companions and my son

have nothing to do with this.

No, but they're such a hoot to watch

when they get flustered.

Besides, I also thought you'd be pleased to see your son

after all these years.

Let go!

Why don't you fight like a man?

If you can pluck up the courage, that is.

(laughing)

Why don't you fight like a god?

If you can pluck the strength.

Hah.

It's time for me to make my wish, Horn of Plenty.

Get rid of that big octopus and get us out of here fast.

Hah.

Cornucopia cannot act against the gods.

But I thought--

You win, Poseidon.

But let my son and my friends go.

Promise you'll take them all back to Ithaca.

In return, you can do with me what you will.

No, Dad, don't do it!

Sorry, lad, but for once I agree with your father.

Huh, this is where we must part.

No way.

I'm sorry, Ulysses.

I can't leave you alone on the ship.

You might end up wrecking it.

I've always dreamed of taking a trip to the stars.

I have sworn to stick by you till the very end.

Hey, listen here.

I didn't come all this way for you to flunk out on your own.

Okay.

Looks like I don't have a choice, right?

Thank you, my brave companions.

Heh, very moving.

(laughing)

But it's getting late.

Time to move along now.

You'd better look after my son,

or I'm warning you,

I will find a way to come back and seek revenge.

Oh, don't worry about that.

He's safe with me.

Goodbye, Telemachus.

Kiss your mom for me and tell her

I never stopped loving you both.

No, Dad.

Please don't go!

(Titan grumbling)

I've won at last.

I don't need you anymore.

But you promised you'd take me back home.

Promised?

Hah, we gods don't give two hoots about promises.

This time it really is the end.

(screaming)

Hoh, do you think you could sail her through the stars?

Nope.

We're just gonna drift on till the end of time.

This is amazing.

We're heading off on a new odyssey.

There's nothing amazing about it, son.

We're lost forever with nothing to eat,

I'm sorry, my friends.

It's not over yet.

I still have my wish.

Take us back to Earth.

Huh?

I told you, Cornucopia never goes against the gods.

Who said anything about acting against the gods?

Nisa, just ask for a very, very long rope

of outstanding strength.

Did you hear that, Conchie?

It's time to wake up.

All I want is a rope.

You can't refuse me that.

It's all very well being big.

But it doesn't make you any less of a coward.

Hm, are you talking to me?

Who else would I be talking to?

You may have got rid of my dad,

but now you've got me to contend with.

Hiya!

(seagulls calling)

Ah, watch yourself, boy,

or I'll send you to meet your father.

Go ahead and try.

Where'd you get to, pest?

Right here.

Catch me if you can.

You've asked for it, you little rat.

(laughing)

Ha ha, missed.

(grumbling)

Keep going, keep going.

We need kilometers of this stuff.

I can't watch.

I've only got one shot at this.

(gasping)

(rock smashing)

Ah, there you are, vermin.

Hiya!

(Poseidon grunting)

This is what they call Achilles' heel.

Hm?

No!

Hm.

Did I do that?

Let's get to work.

Heave ho.

- [Crew] Heave ho, heave ho.

Yeah, way to go.

I've had my fill of this family.

First the father, now the son.

Behind you.

What the, whoa!

Whoa!

(crew cheering)

Dad, I thought you'd gone forever.

There's no way I was going to lose you again.

Especially not to that pain in the neck, Mr. Tentacles.

What do you want

more than anything in the world, Telemachus?

For us to be back together again in Ithaca.

Doesn't that go against the gods' wishes?

Ha ha, I don't think Poseidon's up to fishing right now,

let alone wishing.

(gasping)

Hey!

The Horn of Plenty.

We don't need it anymore.

It's granted us our dearest wish.

We're on our way back to Ithaca.

(ominous orchestral music)

I haven't finished with you yet, Ulysses.

(crying)

(Poseidon laughing)

Your wish is granted, Pellos.

Prince Pellos.

What have you done with Telemachus?

Please keep it down.

I have a splitting headache.

You were right, Your Highness.

She has indeed completed the tapestry.

Huh?

No, I haven't.

- [Pellos] At last, we can be married immediately.

- [Penelope] What?

Ugh.

(dramatic orchestral music)
