We’re Off on a Great Mission
[DIONYSOS]
Xanthias, it is time to start our journey. We are off on a great mission

[XANTHIAS]
Where?

[DIONYSOS]
I, Dionysos, god of drama, am going to travel to the Underworld and bring back a great writer who can speak to the problems of our society and give us comfort, wit and wisdom. And also challenge our complacencies

[XANTHIAS]
Who are you gonna bring back?

[DIONYSOS]
Shaw

[XANTHIAS]
Oh... who?

[DIONYSOS]
George Bernard Shaw

[XANTHIAS]
The one who wrote the plays?

[DIONYSOS]
Yes, the one who wrote the plays. And what glorious plays!
[XANTHIAS]
I can't think of any at the moment

[DIONYSOS]
I know them all

[XANTHIAS]
Did he write "The Rape of the Sabine Women"? I liked that -- it had a lot of pictures

[DIONYSOS]
No, he did not. It's time to stop flapping your lips and start moving your feet. Walk!
