Full script below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Zeus: I have taken care of that troublemaker Prometheus. Bwah-hah-hah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kratos: Hey, Bia, bring him over here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bia: OK Prometheus, there’s where we’re going to chain you to the rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prometheus: Ow! I’m coming, Bia, no need to be violent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bia: Well, actually I AM the god of violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prometheus: I know, I know. And your friend Kratos there is the god of might and force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kratos: So naturally we’re going to push you around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bia: Besides, you stole fire from Zeus. You’ve got to expect to be treated roughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hephaestus: Well, sorry Prometheus, old buddy, now I’ve got to chain you to this rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prometheus: I know, I know, so an eagle can peck at my belly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hephaestus: Zeus was really annoyed that you stole the fire from my forge and gave it to those humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prometheus: What else could I do? They were so defenseless that a possum ate one for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hephaestus [hammering in front of himself]: Fortunately, since you’re a god, even though the eagle pecks at your belly, you’ll heal overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bia: Hurry up, let’s get this done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kratos: Yeah, let’s get a move on, Hephaestus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hephaestus: Now we can go. ‘Bye Prometheus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prometheus: So here I am, chained to a cliff in the Caucasus Mountains. As the god of foresight, I can see into the future. [concentrates for a moment] Hm. Eventually, I will get rescued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Eagle flies at Prometheus]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prometheus: Ow! Get off, you stupid bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oceanus: Hi, Prometheus. Even though I’m the god of the oceans, I thought I’d visit you here in the mountains. How’s it going?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prometheus: Well, Oceanus, it’s boring, except of course when the eagle comes and pecks at my belly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oceanus: You know, I’m one of the older gods. I could go to Zeus and see if I can get your sentence lightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prometheus: No thanks. Even if I got in trouble with Zeus, it was worth it. Fire has helped the humans learn new arts and sciences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oceanus: It sounds like you actually want to take responsibility for your actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prometheus: I am proud of stealing fire for the humans. So I’ll just have to wait here until Hercules comes along and frees me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zeus: That should settle Prometheus for a long time. Bwah-hah-hah!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
