Chapter 21: "Shit Set Of Morals"

(A cloaked figure comes into Achilles hut, kneels before his feet and kisses both his hands.)

Achilles: "Who are you?"

Priam: "I have endured what no one on earth has endured before. I kissed the hands of the man who killed my son."

Achilles: (Gets up) "Priam?"

Priam: (Nods)

Achilles: (Claps hands & jumps into the air) "Ha ha! Damit I knew it was you! I knew it couldn't have been a one off thing, Hector must've inherited his homosexuality for sure…"

Priam: "What?"

Achilles: "Nothing. How did you get in here?"

Priam: "I know my own country better than the Gay Greeks I think."

Achilles: "Wow, shit set of morals you set your son to grow up with dude."

Priam: "Meh, what can I say, it runs in the family."

Achilles: "No argument there. (Goes over to Priam & picks him up by the shoulders) "You're a brave man. I could have your head on a spit in the blink of an eye."

Priam: "Do you really think death frightens me now?"

Achilles: "No, but this will." (Lifts up loin-cloth)

Priam: "Sweet god of- oh my, what the fuck is- lord almighty!"

Achilles: "Well what can I say, the ladies love me."

Priam: "And the men too I hear."

Achilles: "What? How?"

Priam: (Sighs) "Mobile phones, a thing of the future buddy."

Achilles: (Slowly backing away) "You're really starting to freak me out old man."

Priam: "Yeah well you think that's bad, I watched my eldest son die, watched you drag his body behind your chariot. Now that's messed up! Do you know how messed up I'm gonna' be for the next ten years if I even live that long? I'm gonna have to get counseling and visit a physiatrist and-

Achilles: "Look dude, here's 40 cents, call someone who cares. What do you want here anyway?"

Priam: "Give him back to me. He deserves the honour of a proper burial you know that. Give him to me."

Achilles: "He killed my cousin asshole."

Priam: "He thought it was you-

Achilles: "Oh just cut the crap already! Geez everybody thinks they're the 'mighty' Achilles, everybody wants a piece of Achilles, everybody dyes and cuts their hair to match my hairstyle, everybody-

Priam: "Oh shut up! Did anybody ever tell you, you were full of yourself?"

Achilles: "No, they haven't actually."

Priam: "Well I am! How many cousins have you killed? How many sons and fathers and brothers and husbands? How many "brave" Achilles? I knew your father. He died before his time. But he was lucky not to live long enough to see his son fall-

(Priam rushes at Achilles drawing a knife from his robes. Achilles easily holds Priam's wrist in his hand.)

Achilles: "Wanna' explain what just happened now?"

Priam: "Umm yeah, that, sorry about that, got caught up in the moment, grieving and what not. Getting back on track, you have taken everything from me. My eldest son, heir to my throne." (Shimmies a little closer to Achilles who is now going teary-eyed) "Defender of my kingdom. I cannot change what happened, it is the will of the gods."

Achilles: "Man what is it with you and religion?"

(A sudden squall violently shakes the hut.)

Achilles: "Geez, ok ok ok, I get it already. (Under breath) Damn gods…"

(Wind picks up again and shakes the hut.)

Achilles: "Ok alright I'm sorry."

Priam: (Rolls eyes) "But give me this small mercy. I loved my boy from the moment he opened his eyes to the moment you closed them. Let me wash his body-

Achilles: "You know dude, I'm gonna' tell you once, and once only. I am not into incest ok?"

Priam: "Bloody hell Achilles, I'm talking about a funeral for my son you moron!"

Achilles: (Chuckles nervously) "I knew that. But!" (Gives Priam evil look) "If I let you walk out of here, if I let you take him, it doesn't change anything. You're still my enemy in the morning."

Priam: "Sun up to sun down does it bloody friggin' matter? Just give me my son already! You're still my enemy tonight but even enemies can show respect!"

Achilles: (Gets up & walks away) "I admire your courage. Meet me outside in a moment."

Priam: "Umm, yo dude, I'm really old and my hip could pop out of place anytime now so I don't think-

Achilles: "I'm getting your damn son you idiot! Man you Trojans are stupid."

(Walks out of tent. A moment later we see Achilles strapping Hector's body to his chariot. Priam watches him. Achilles approaches Priam.)

Achilles: "You're son was the best I've fought…and I'm sure he would've been the best I'd ever f….. (trails off seeing Priam's disgusted and confused look.)

Priam: (Mutters under breath) "And I thought I was the one who was gay…"

Achilles: (Under breath) "You are." (In a louder voice) "In my country the funeral games last for 12 days."

Priam: "It is the same in my country."

Achilles: "Then the Prince will have that honour. No Greek will attack Troy for12 days. But on the 13th I cannot say what fate you shall face."

Priam: "Lord have mercy."

(Briseis appears & runs to Priam. After they embrace she approaches Achilles & looks at him.)

Achilles: "You are free. If I hurt you…its not what I wanted."

Briseis: "Aaah hello? Who's the one who introduced me to fluffy handcuffs?"

(Achilles nervously chuckles, trying to avoid Priam searing & eye-widening glance.)

Achilles: "Anyway here's a necklace, take good care of it coz' its Patroclus'. If you lose it, sell it or trade I'll come back and rape you."

(Briseis looks repulsed.)

Briseis: "Well isn't that what you were planning all along when you took me 'captive' Achilles?"

Achilles: "Yeah but then sex got in the way. There's a fine line between sex and rape."

Briseis: "Ummm ok."

Priam: "Come…my girl." (Puts a little too much emphasis on the word 'girl'.)

Eudorus: (Whispering into Achilles ear.) "I told you they were into incest."

Achilles: (Nodding.) "You're tellin' me." (In louder voice.) "You're a far better king than the one leading this army."

Priam: (Coughs) "Gay Greeks." (Rides off in chariot.)
