The Odyssey (1992–1994): Season 3, Episode 8 - Styx and Stones - full transcript
- The doctor said I was in a comma.
Maybe I was,
but there is a world beyond consciousness
that they knew
nothing about.
But when I came back,
nothing was quite the same.
And I couldn't leave
that other world behind
My odyssey continues.
- Let's say you have to
do something with a girl
for a couple of hours. What would you do?
- Are you sure you fell on your head?
- Are you going to help me?
I've got a date at two.
- Two o'clock in the
afternoon is not a date.
The only thing you get in
the afternoon is a sunburn.
- This is Linda on TV Talk About.
I guess today is TV
personality, Sierra Jones.
- Who's the girl?
God knows if I am going to help you.
- Hi Sierra.
- Hi, I can't wait to
talk to your listeners.
Give me a call. I'm open for anything.
We're checking calls.
- Sierra Jones, and you?
- Are you going to help me or what?
- Me? You need the UN peacekeepers
if her boyfriend finds out.
- Next
The future is nothing more than a tyrant's
excuse for crime and a
fool's excuse for failure.
Next.
- It's not like she's in a real prison.
She's just telling them
what they want to hear.
- Finger knows how to get to her.
Putting her on display like a
Tibet Sideshow act is torture.
- i got to find her.
- Next
Nothing lasts forever.
Next
Love in the palace leaves you emptier
than going to bed without your supper.
- Next.
- So why did Sierra say yes?
- Thanks. Maybe she likes me.
- Maybe she needs a cause you know,
like some kids wash cars for United way.
- Forget I said anything.
- Okay.
Step one.
You gotta take charge. You
gotta decide where you're going.
- She already decided we're
meeting at some golf club.
- Golf club?
How much cash you got?
- Money is definitely a dating issue.
Some girls get mad if a guy pays.
Others get insulted if
he doesn't. I dunno why.
- I guess I'm kind of old
fashioned, but I, I like it.
when a boy makes a fuss over me.
- 9 dollars And 25 cents.
- Great.
I see you take this quarter
and you call Teen Talk About.
and ask her about fun
dates for under 10 bucks.
- Hi, Grace here.
Money can't buy happiness,
but you can rent.
- What's that?
- Back off!
- You stupid kid. You almost drowned.
- Look at all this stuff.
It must weigh a ton.
Why didn't you dump it?
- Boys are dumb.
- She's a digger.
They always carry around all this stuff.
- Sticks and stones
let's break their bones.
- Is this the thanks we
get for helping a digger?
- Can it!
- We don't mean any harm.
We're just looking for
a way into the tower
to rescue a friend.
- Boys are useless let me see this.
- Where's Jay?
I figured he'd be here to listen
to his favorite fantasy on
the radio
- Better.
He's going to hear her live and in-person.
- He went to the radio station to gawk.
How desperate.
- Actually he's got a date with her.
- Why are you telling me?
- Because you asked.
- Seemed awfully interested.
- In Jay Ziegler.
He was more interesting
when he was in the coma.
- Where did they come from?
- There are genetic antithesis
a freak of nature in
layman's terms, dogboys.
- How can I use them?
- Carefully?
Dogboys are unadulterated evil.
They have no loyalty and no allegiances.
- Just hunger?
- Exactly and that's the key.
Even a dumb animal can be trained.
- Yeah.
You invest time and energy
and emotion just when you let
your guard down.
One wretched beast turns on
you and ripped your heart out.
- We're back on Teen Talk About
with our next caller for Sarah Jones.
- Hi, who's this?
- Donna.
- What's your question, Donna?
what do you call a girl that
goes out with two guys at the
same time.
- Busy?
- But is it right or not?
Should she tell her boyfriend
that she is cheating on him?
- I think that each person has
to decide what is right for
them. Donna.
- So do I Donna.
- So do I
but I think at least a girl
could be honest after all she's
playing with a lot of
other people's feelings,
any girl that would lead
two guys on like that
isn't very nice.
- Is this about you, Donna?
because you don't sound old
enough to tie yourself down to
one guy.
I mean,
life has enough rules and
limitations without guys treating
us. Like they own us like pets.
- I'm unclear as to the
need for emotions associated
with the romantic impulse.
I have assembled these candidates
as possible replacements
for Medea. Pick one.
- Send them home
get this there's only
one Medea I want her.
I want her.
There's only one Medea. I want her.
- No problem. Just retrieve her.
If memory serves,
it was your idea to lock
her up in the first place.
- We better find her soon. I
can't take much more of this.
- We have to be getting
close. Look, check the map.
- Check the map.
- I'll take the high road.
- Okay. See you later.
- Yeah. Later.
- Hi Sierra.
Love your golf club.
Yo Sierra, great fair winds.
Play here often?
Hi, babe.
- Jay. Over here.
- Hi, I guess this is one of those
really private golf clubs.
- Yeah. It's very exclusive.
- Well, yeah, I saw it on my
styles at the rich and famous.
- Hey.
You got to wait in line
Like the rest of us.
- Shh. You gotta help me.
- What's in it for me?
- My jacket for your hat and sunglasses
- Deal.
- Future lies in your past. Next
- He that is born to be
hanged shall never be drowned.
Next.
- Hey jerk!
- What do you want?
- I want to rescue you.
- Get them out of here!
- Come on! I want to be alone with her.
I want to know my fortune.
Tell me my future.
Speak to me from your heart.
- Oh Finger,
If I told you your
future, you're so foolish.
You'll just try to prevent it.
- I've missed our little games.
I have one more for you.
A game of chance, your chance.
- You may remain imprisoned
in the crystal cave,
growing old here, alone, unloved,
or you may choose life
with me in the tower
where you'll have your
every whim attended to
and you'll be free to rule by my side.
Please!
- What I wish Finger, is to be free!
So I will choose life in the crystal cave.
where I will at least be free of you.
- You like to do this?
- Absolutely.
I was the mini cut champ for 86.
- Ha! Yes.
- You do it.
- No. Try it.
- I mean, we could've gone to
a movie or if you were hungry
- You could buy me a bag
of really greasy fries
Nice try J.
- Oh man. You can't lose
a ball playing mini-golf
There it is.
- Got it. Here you go!
- This just isn't exactly what I expected.
You seemed so normal.
I thought you'd be different.
- Normal is completely different for me.
- I'm not exactly normal either.
- So I guess we're perfect pair.
- I always knew it.
- Hey Jay reality check.
You're only on the third hole,
but you can try that shot again.
I've decided I'm going to break the rules.
Just for you.
- I'm not going to let you
play by Finger's rules.
- You can't help me Jay.
Finger controls everything.
- Only if you let him.
What happened to you Medea?
- I know better than to fight fate.
However you got here, Jay,
take the same way out now.
- Not without you.
- Leave me now. I'll
only bring you misery.
- Maybe I think you're worth it.
- Excuse me, sir.
But have you been observing
prisoner in the crystal cave?
- I can't bear to watch her.
- There is a crisis. Jay is down there.
He's trying to save her.
- Jay. What's happening?
My report
is incomplete.
But she says,
You must go now. I shall
only bring you misery.
And he goes, maybe I
think you're worth it.
- Where's my air sick bag?
What Drivel!
Savage. It's feeding
time for the dog boys.
Let's go get their dinner.
- Yumm
- Watch out!
- Now you've done it.
- Now you have to come with
me you don't have any choice.
I'll always have a choice.
Follow me
- What are you doing here?
- I'm looking for Medea.
She's not here. She's way
over on the other side.
- I got to get there fast.
- I know a shortcut
- Prison is too good for her.
A quick death is too kind.
Slow. Sweet suffering
is just the beginning.
As she watches me, snuff
out the one she loves,
- She must've done something really awful.
Finger, you must get this off your chest.
You'll feel much better.
Every detail.
- She broke my heart.
I lost my edge,
but guess what?
I found it again.
- Let's go find them.
- If we can't bring dinner to the dogboys,
we'll set the dogboys loose in the tunnels
and let them catch their own.
- You want to go some place?
- I'm
I'm kind of broke.
- That's okay.
We could go to my place.
- You think that's okay?
- It is if I say so.
- Sierra, did you tell Mic about us?
- What's there to tell?
That we went golfing
Well, yeah, I mean
Jay don't turn this into something else.
- This way.
- Jay, stop.
- Look. We're almost
done. Then we'll be free.
We'll be together
- Together?
You know,
there are as many futures as
there are tunnels and my future
may not be with yours, but for now it is.
Trust me.
- Hurry. We got to find
them before Finger does.
- This is a shortcut.
- Dogboys. Stand still or
they will smell your fear!
- Great time saver!
- And boys are perfect.
- What's that?
- Dogboys.
Hurry.
Go faster!
- There's nowhere to go, Medea.
This is the end of the road.
- How convenient!
now the dog boys don't have
to hunt for their dinner.
- Thank you.
- Next time we play tennis and
you better start practicing
now.
- Okay!
- Next time. We're already
planning next time?
- Mic, what are you doing here?
- Well, you weren't home,
but your mom told me where you were.
Plus here we got tickets for a show.
- Wait a minute.
How come he can just walk
in here and make the rules?
- I didn't plan it like this.
- Since when do you and I make plans and
we got a steady thing.
You want to talk about our relationship?
Lose the fifth wheel and we'll talk.
- When I feel like talking, I'll call you.
Now please leave.
- Scary.
Okay. All right. I, I get the picture.
I'm jealous. Turning green. You happy?
- What darling?
Not even a little struggle
for old time's sake.
- Finger, sir, we have to hurry.
- Shut up, Savage.
Vengeance is like a fine wine.
It can't be hurried.
- Can't it to be condensed?
- Vengeance isn't milk, Savage.
You insensitive swine.
You're ruining my metaphor.
Who unleashed the dogboys?
- Whatever you do don't
show them you are a prey.
Show them who is boss.
- Savage, do something.
Savage, do something. Help me!
- Jay!
- Get back dog breath! Get out of here!
- Thanks for sticking around.
And no one really
usually stands up to Mic.
but I think going to take a
rain check on that invite, okay?
- No problem. We'll do it again.
Just the two of us.
- Sure. I'll call you.
- Yeah. Great. And I'd like that.
- Okay.
- Just a word of advice, Jay.
Go out with some other girls too.
Don't get tied down and
don't get obsessive. Okay.
- Yeah, I know.
- Okay. I'll see you later.
- Check mate.
- Hey man. How's the date?
- She said she'd call.
- You just felt for the
second oldest lie in the book.
I mean that,
that ranks right up there
with what's your sign?
- What do you mean?
- He means Sierra Jones
just told you to take a hike
in a nice way.
- No, you don't understand.
- Oh, come on.
- Face it, Jay.
You're just not Sierra Jones'
boyfriend material, okay?
- You'll see. She'll call
Maybe I was,
but there is a world beyond consciousness
that they knew
nothing about.
But when I came back,
nothing was quite the same.
And I couldn't leave
that other world behind
