Long ago, but not so very long ago
The world was different, oh yes it was
You settled down and you built a town and made it live
And you watched it grow
It was your town

Pan: A long time ago, in the underground realm, where there are no lies or pain, there lived a Princess who dreamed of the human world. She dreamed of blue skies, soft breeze, and sunshine.

One day, eluding her keepers, the Princess escaped. Once outside, the brightness blinded her and erased every trace of the past from her memory.She forgot who she was and where she came from. Her body suffered cold, sickness, and pain. Eventually, she died. However, her father, the King, always knew that the Princess’ soul would return, perhaps in another body, in another place, at another time. And he would wait for her, until he drew his last breath, until the world stopped turning.

Telemachus: Come out of there!
Odysseus: …
Telemachus: What trick is this?
Odysseus: It’s not a trick.
Telemachus: You can not be my father. Odysseus is dead!
Odysseus: Odysseus is alive. And he is standing before you.
Telemachus: Stay back!

Odysseus: Please, look at me. You see yourself? In my face?
Telemachus: I see only a man. With no respects of son’s feelings.

Odysseus: No, no. You are my son. And these are the hands, here, which brought you in this world. Here… In this field. I held you, for all world to see. I showed you Athika. I showed you your home, for the first time. And when I was taken from you and your mother, I placed you in her arms. In our bed. Which I built. With these hands. She must have told you this.

Telemachus: …
Telemachus: Father *cries*
Odysseus: My boy.

Abbe Faria: Here is your final lesson - do not commit the crime for which you now serve the sentence. God said, “Vengeance is mine.”
Edmond Dantes: I don’t believe in God.
Abbe Faria: It doesn’t matter. He believes in you.
