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.

What?

Never, do you hear me, never!

I'm already married to Ulysses,

and we have a son, Telemachus!

So stay out of our lives, you interfering wretch!

I feel a migraine coming on.

You tell her, Kritos, I can't stand this any longer.

Our men searched everywhere,

but Telemachus is not on the island.

On the other hand, Prince Pellos has promised

he'll do everything possible to find him,

once you're married.

You blackmailing vermin!

Why such bitterness?

It is but an agreement among friends, my dear.

Oh!

- [Pellos] Actually, Kritos, I don't quite understand.

According to Poseidon, Ulysses is still alive,

which means I can't marry her.

You and I know he's alive, but Penelope doesn't.

If she marries you, you'll become king,

and Ulysses will be stripped of his rights.

Ah, right, of course.

Land ho!

I see land!

At last, we're home!

Mmm, Ithaca!

Easy, Titan.

I'd like to arrive in one piece, if you don't mind.

That's Ithaca?

That's what all the fuss was about?

Those walls must've been put up

by that scheming Prince Pellos.

We're not gonna be deterred by some paltry fortification.

Dates, head for that creek on the south side.

(grunting)

We're gonna creep up on Pellos and give him a surprise.

I can't believe we're here at last.

That was some journey, huh?

Whoa!

(hooting)

Ah, there you are.

I've missed you.

(hooting)

I've won, Poseidon.

Ulysses has returned home.

Not so fast, Athena.

Not 'til he's back in the palace,

performing his kingly duties.

Don't you think you've done enough cheating already?

Just accept defeat.

That I cannot do.

Look, Pellos is about to marry Penelope.

He will be king and Ulysses will be out in the cold.

He's home too late, my dear.

Pellos is nothing but a lifeless limpet!

Ulysses will thwart his wedding plans, hands down!

Hm, the ceremony takes place today.

Haven't you received an invitation?

Okay, I'll give you 'til sunset.

If the wedding takes place before then, you win.

If not ...

'Til sunset, huh?

That's plenty of time.

(epic music)

(hooting)

You take that one, I'll deal with his buddy.

Okay.

(hooting)

Shh!

You'll ruin everything!

(dog panting)

Oh, no!

Argos!

(chuckling)

What's up, doggie?

Smell a rabbit?

My dog, Argos.

You've talked about him so often,

I feel as if I know him.

(dog whining)

(dog panting excitedly)

Ulysses!

Come and give me a hand!

(grunting)

Huh? Oh!

Keep them back, whatever you do!

How, sir?

(bell ringing)

We've got company!

(growling)

So much for our discreet entrance.

- [Pellos] There's this intolerable ringing in my ears!

Hm.

What, can you hear it, too?

Your Highness, Ulysses is at the gate!

And Telemachus is with him.

He's back!

If I were you, I'd get out of here, fast.

(door hinges creaking) Huh?

Don't you have a wedding to attend, Penelope?

(gasping)

Ulysses is just passing through before he passes away.

- [Penelope] Ugh!

(whimpering)

But don't worry, lovebirds, just pretend he's not here.

I don't want to!

I wanna go home!

You, Kritos, are going to help me set a trap

for the trespassers!

(growling)

Look out, Diomedes!

(grunting)

Oh!

That calls for a thank you, young lady.

Head down! Huh?

(grunting)

Thanks to you, Companion!

(hooting)

(growling)

Titan get you all!

(grunting)

Uh-oh.

(screaming)

No, no!

(dramatic music)

(chuckling)

(dramatic music)

To the right!

(grunting)

(groaning)

Left!

Yeah!

Help, Daddy!

Help!

On my command.

Go ahead.

(cracking)

(screaming)

Daddy!

(sad music)

Daddy.

I got Ulysses!

(grunting)

I have good news, my dear.

Ulysses is dead.

It can't be true.

Tell me it's not true.

I'm afraid it is.

Look, his bow.

My Ulysses, he can't be.

You can't have!

All is not lost.

I've found Telemachus.

Look!

(grunting)

Huh?

Mom, they got Dad!

Oh, let him go right now!

No, he's too nasty.

Oh!

Oh, all right.

Let's make a deal, you and I.

I'll let him go after you've taken me as your husband.

You pig!

- [Telemachus] No!

(screaming)

Mama!

All right, Pellos, I'll marry you,

and you will be king, but in my heart,

I will never stop waiting for Ulysses.

Ah, ha ha, hurry up and get ready.

This shaft is linked to the sea by underwater ducts.

The water will slowly rise.

He'll be drowned by sundown.

Hm, poor little rat.

At least he won't come waking me up

in the middle of the night any more.

Don't count on it, Pellos!

My ghost will haunt you 'til your dying day!

Uh, your ghost?

(laughing)

Do you believe in ghosts?

Lock the door, double lock it.

Ghosts, ugh!

(knocking)

We're looking for runaways.

I haven't seen anyone, sir.

Huh?

Mm-hmm, uh-huh.

Okie doke!

Sorry for the disturbance.

It's no trouble, sir.

I hope you find them soon.

You were great, Diamine!

(laughing)

You can come out now!

My sister just saved our hides.

Mmm. Ah.

Oh! Huh?

(laughing)

Where's Ulysses?

Oh, he wasn't as lucky as we were.

(dog whining)

(gasping)

(grunting)

Oh, we've been through so much.

At least he died here, in Ithaca.

I just can't believe it!

I was planning to take him with me on my treasure hunt.

And I was planning to write his odyssey.

Nothing will ever be the same again without him.

Cursed Pellos!

(dog whining)

Is that you, Ulysses?

I missed you guys!

(laughing and cheering)

I was sure I'd find you here.

Boy, am I glad to see my friends again.

So, what's new?

It's not looking good, I'm afraid.

Pellos has kidnapped Telemachus!

We've no idea where they've put him!

All we know is, his life's in danger.

(grunting)

- [Diamine] And that's not all.

Penelope thinks you're dead.

She is to marry Pellos this very day!

- [Philo] There's no way into the palace!

The guards are on full alert.

They're determined to catch us!

Hm, there's only one thing to do.

You remember how we got into Troy?

(cart wheels clattering)

(hooting)

Your Highness.

(water splashing)

The villagers have brought you a wedding gift,

a kind of giant fish or spider or something.

A gift?

For me?

Oh, goody, goody, let me see it!

You drowsy dolt!

Haven't you ever heard of the Trojan Horse?

Ulysses and his companions hid inside,

then took the city by storm!

Attack!

(screaming)

(grunting)

(screaming)

(metal clashing)

(grunting and groaning)

But Ulysses is dead!

Besides, I object to you butting in on my bath time.

Ulysses' companions will seek to avenge him.

Accept no gifts!

(dramatic music)

Please don't do it!

Go ahead!

(dramatic music)

(hooting)

Stop at once!

Oh no, my lovely gift!

Look what you've done,

you've smashed up my present for nothing,

you bunch of baboons!

You've spoiled everything!

- [Kritos] As you wish, Your Highness.

You can come out now.

(Pellos crying)

- [Kritos] Your Highness?

- [Pellos] I can't stand this any longer!

My lovely gift!

(hooting)

Good, it was a total eyesore anyway!

You've got to delay the wedding.

In the meantime, I'm going to free Telemachus.

- [Nisa] Uh?

How are you going to find him?

With the help of a friend.

(groaning)

Oh no!

It's all come down to you, boy.

(dog growling)

Huh?

(screaming)

- [Penelope] Ulysses, is that you?

Penelope!

The high priest is waiting, my dear.

It's been a long day,

so let's get this wretched ceremony over with.

Yes, of course, I'll just close the window.

(romantic music)

- [Ulysses] You okay in there, Telemachus?

Dad, you're alive!

Hold on tight.

I'm gonna get you up.

(grunting)

Oh no, Dad!

The rope's gonna snap!

(grunting)

Telemachus!

- [Telemachus] I think I can hold on.

For a little longer anyway.

(growling)

Hello there.

You and your dad are a couple of tough cookies,

but not for much longer.

The time has come for the cookies to crumble.

(stately music)

What's the plan?

What do you mean, plan?

There is no plan!

Dad, do something!

Oh yeah, like what?

Hold on, Telemachus, I'm coming!

(grunting)

Huh?

(screaming)

Give me your hand, son.

(stately music)

(whispering)

Something up?

Don't worry.

(priest murmuring)

Hurry it up, will you?

Uh, right.

Should anyone see any reason

why this marriage should not take place, speak now,

or forever hold your peace.

You could've skipped this part.

(throat clearing)

[Penelope And Pellos] Huh?

Uh, I do!

(crowd gasping)

This prince can't marry the ...

I mean, Penelope, because I am Ulysses!

(crowd gasping)

(giggling)

Oh, come on, it's impossible!

Ulysses is dead.

I know because we ...

And besides, you're too young.

He can't look that young after all these years, can he?

I don't know.

Stranger things have happened at sea.

This very morning I saw a very odd creature creep

out of my fountain.

Okay, okay, give him the bow.

Everyone knows that Ulysses alone can bend this bow.

There's no time to lose!

(gasping)

Not so fast.

No one is leaving this room.

That's a shame 'cause I'm expected.

(grunting)

Right, that's enough fooling around for one day.

Can we get on with the ceremony now?

Hold it!

I'm Ulysses!

Hey, I'm Ulysses!

Excuse me, I'm Ulysses.

(laughing)

I beg your pardon!

I have here proof that Ulysses is none other

than yours truly!

Me Ulysses!

(laughing)

- [Pellos] Give them the bow.

(grunting and groaning)

(metal clanging)

Run and tell your mom I'm on my way!

Huh?

Go on!

(yawning)

Okay, let's get down to the nitty gritty, can we?

Your comeuppance has come!

Mr. Groom.

It's a ...

Ghost!

It's a ghost!

- [Penelope] Telemachus!

- [Pellos] I didn't do it!

I didn't mean to!

(crowd exclaiming)

Come here!

(screaming)

Pest!

You, get this wedding over and done with now!

I can't stand this any longer!

(screaming)

Game's over, Poseidon!

What?

That's not what we agreed.

The sun has set, Ulysses is alive,

and the wedding is a flop!

You've lost, Poseidon, despite all your slimy tricks.

Ulysses is alive?

He can't be, I know because--

(throat clearing)

- [Ulysses] Let me try that bow, will you, Pellos?

(crowd gasping)

Uh, Ulysses!

It was all a big misunderstanding!

It's all his fault!

He said that if I did what he said, he'd ...

(screaming)

Long live Ulysses!

(cheering)

I missed you so.

What have you been up to all these years?

Oh, nothing much, a bit of embroidery.

How about you?

Oh, I've been traveling here and there.

Visiting a few islands.

Did you see them all?

Not quite.

- [Poseidon] I bet you anything he'll leave with them.

Can't you just let it drop, Poseidon?

No, seriously!

This time, I promise I won't cheat.

I bet he takes to the seas again and never comes back!

Oh, let me have my revenge.

Go on, be a dear.
