Day of the Cyclops
1
- Day of the Cyclops -
(Snoring)
Ugh!
Oh No!
(Old man screams)
We hope you enjoy your stay
in beautiful Istanbul, Turkey.
Immigration would like
us to remind all passengers,
to have their passport
on hand at the gate.
(Market chatters)
Knock off 50
drachmas, and we'll talk.
It doesn't look 18th
Century to me, pal.
A wide decision. That's
hardly even 10th Century.
Virgil, NormanHey, what
are you guys doing here?
I had a sudden imminent
feeling that you're in need of help.
I know you're on
vacation, but uhm
Perfect timing. Virgil,
you've been around,
Come take a look at a ceramic
vase in the shop. I can't decide.
And could you hold my jettaberry
oil please Max, we'll be right back.
Okay mom.
Oh vey! Yeah, that would keep
the bugs from biting alright.
Ah, Turkish furniture
polish. Great mom.
Hey big man, come see.
I have good deal for you!
No thanks.
I already got one.
Hey, get a look at these.
Swell, made in America. I come
all the way to Turkey, for this?!
Thief! Thief!
Stop that boy! They
stole my hat! Thief!
Him, him! He stole my hat!
Ah, sorry mister, this
hat's mine. Case closed.
Police! Thief! Stop
that American boy!
Passport.
- My Passport?
Oh yeah, my Mom has it. You
guys sit tight, I'll be right back.
Hey!
(Whistle)
(Grunt)
No!
(Norman grunts)
(Grunts)
(Grunts)
(Screams)
(Norman makes angry voice)
Don't do it, Norman.
Oh great! Where'd Max and Norman go.
There's really no telling.
Excuse me, has anyone
seen a big man with a sword,
and a young American
boy wearing a cap?
They were here a moment ago.
Thieves I tell you.
Both of them.
Boy tried to steal cap, but Police
come to make boy give back to me.
Then big man attack Police.
They have no passport,
then soldiers take them away.
What?! My son tried to
steal a cap and got arrested?!
Where did the
soldiers take them?
Wait
Where is the cap, now?
Ah, I sell it already.
- Sold it?!
Got plenty more,
only 20 dollars US.
I see it, up there!
Some kid on a
Bicycle wearing it.
Come on, we got to get
the Mighty One's cap back.
We gotta get Max, first.
Whose to say we could even
get them out of that place,
unless we use the
cap to open a portal!
Norman will protect Max.
But please let us make haste
to find the cap while we still can!
Why without it, we
might all be doomed.
Alright, the hat first.
But so help me Virgil, if
anything happens to my Max,
I'll ring your chicken neck!
Man, I hope the guy wearing
these got off for good behavior.
If they hadn't taken my
sword, I'd get through.
Well, maybe. But that sword's
police property now, Normie.
I gotta tell you, I'm glad
you didn't attack them with it
or we would
really be in trouble.
You see, major force
isn't always the best way.
I'm the guardian.
It's what I do.
Well, when you're
outnumbered like that, sometimes
the best thing to do
is just smile and nod.
I don't mind being outnumbered.
Oh, no? Do you mind
being locked up in a Turkish
prison for the
rest of your life?
Normie, just listen to me
from now on when I say stop.
Okey-dokey?
Okey-dokey, Mighty One.
Wait, wait, wait. Don't I get
to make my one phone call?
My mom will be worried if I don't
call her and let her know I'm in jail.
Maybe I should just consider
ordering a pizza instead, huh?
(Guard laughs)
You think this is
America, hey, little boy?
Ouch!
Ahh!
You can stop, Norman.
I think I heard him say sorry.
Excellent, Norman.
You listen to me
this time very good.
Don't worry, little boy.
You and your big friend will
not be here too much longer.
You know what's funny?
But getting out of here
really doesn't seem
like a big threat to me.
I don't have time to stay
for tea anyway, thank you.
Good evening, ma'am.
Perhaps you can help.
I'm looking for a little boy
with this hat and a bicycle.
Oh, no, I
Should really brush
up on my Turkish.
Virgil, teach me
some Turkish quick.
The particular dialect I
learned went out of fashion
about the same time my
beak became passe, I'm afraid.
(Monster screams)
(Monster grunts)
(Monster gets angry)
Help!
(Both grunts)
Eiya!
(Grunts)
Norman, are you okay, buddy?
(Monster makes devilish sounds)
Guards, help, hurry!
There's this huge guy
in here trying to kill us!
Where'd he go?
Did you see how he
got out of here, Norman?
He dripped out the
drain if I had my sword.
Well, okay, he was huge and he had
a crooked head with hair in his face.
Whoa Like this!
(Laughing)
Thorlach, he come
to clean the prison.
(Laughing)
I'm glad he left
his mop at home.
Hey, pal! If that guy's the
janitor, I'm the Dalai Lama!
No escape from
Thorlach, the Torture!
Oh, your young flesh will
make Cyclops fine meal!
(Laughing)
Cyclops?
Cyclops' cave below!
You know Odysseus?
Torture one of
Odysseus' men left behind.
Now he feeds Cyclops.
Well, hold on, time out.
We're losing a little something
in the translation here, bud.
Or you're taking your Greek
miss a little too seriously.
(Guard laugh as he walks away)
Apple sauce.
Man, if Odysseus
really slept here,
you'd think they'd make it
more of a tourist attraction.
But that don't explain how
that torturer dude got out of here.
If we knew that, maybe we
could blow this taco stand too.
I've got blisters on my
knuckles from all this knocking.
That's it, Virgil.
We've left Max sitting
in some jail all night.
We're gonna get him out.
Forget the hat. My
son's more important.
Oh! Now watch where
That's him! Stop you! Hey!
Hey, not touch my bike!
Young man, it's very important
that I have that cap you're wearing.
What will you take for it?
My cap you not have.
Let me go my bike.
I'll buy that cap from you.
Here, now it's a
generous offer on my part.
Come back here. You're tampering
with the fate of the cosmos.
Excuse me, but my
kingdom for a horse.
(People are shouting)
Please, my horse is big.
(People keeps shouting)
Virgil!
Oh, budge. Skiddi-up!
Could you just hold on for a
minute while I get right side up?
Oh, dear, a portal!
(Horse neigh)
- (Screaming)
(Chattering in Turkish)
Where on earth are we?
- I'm not sure.
(Monkeys are irritated)
Just moment please.
(Growling)
If I'm not mistaken, this is
the scenic Serengeti plain.
And these
charming, these are
Killer baboons!
Hey monkey, you
mean I have my bike?
And I get them without the bike.
Come on, he couldn't have
passed through a solid wall.
On this side.
Maybe there's some
kind of hidden door.
But where?
Well, if there is a door, arrow
leaked through from the other side.
Allow me.
Hey, hey, looky looky, a map!
Now, if nobody's done any remodeling
in this place since this map was carved,
then this main corridor will
lead us straight out of here.
Whoa! Ha, ha.
Hey, this must be the Cyclops that
Nut-ball Guard was telling us about, huh?
It's times like these when I really
miss that old sword of yours, Normie.
I don't have anything to
pick that padlock with though.
I do.
Ooh, whoever lives here
has got to be Whoa!
Dead.
Eww, jeez, this place reeks big time.
Smells like rotten
Easter eggs get the perm.
Yeah, it's worse, Norm. I
think we're in the prison sewer.
(Mice squeaking)
Oh, please let this be an exit.
(Max screams)
I think a simple welcome
would have been more tasty.
Yikes!
(Monster screams)
I Need my sword.
We're in luck, Normie.
I think our pal's
gonna lend us an axe.
No!
(Monster growling)
Norman!
(Monster screams)
(Monster in pain)
(Monster screams)
(Monster screams in pain)
(Monster growls)
(Monster growls)
(Monster screams in surprise)
(Monster screams)
Jump Might Max!
(Monster screams)
Holy Kareem!
This dude must have had a lot of
trouble finding clothes in his size.
Looks like he ate a rummage sale.
Mom would go nuts!
Cool!
Hey, Norman.
Look above the skull.
Let's go!
It is an exit!
Peekaboo!
Oh, yuck! What's that?
Whoa!
Oh, gross!
I've seen worse.
(Norman grunts)
Yah!
Get your slimy tentacles off me!
Whoa!
No!
Norman, you got the light?
Good shot, Mighty One!
We need to split before we get
fried and fire and eyeball juice.
Ha ha, yes! A trap door!
Yeah, yeah, this
would have been easy.
If we'd used the latch to open
the door, this would have been
Hi! Oh, what kind of self-respecting secret
passageway would lead into a prison yard?
Oh, there you are.
We look all over for you.
Lady bring your passport,
so it's fine for you to go now.
Max!
- Mom!
Virgil, oh, you guys a
sight for sore eye-balls.
Boy, you will never guess
what happened to us.
(Monster screams)
Ah?! Oh
-Oh! ahh
(Monster growls in anger)
Norman, catch!
(Monster screams)
Wait a minute, after all
that complaining about
not having your sword,
you didn't even use it?
Then why do you even
bother with it, Normie?
I like it.
Max, what did you do
with my jettaberry oil?
Um, I sort of gave a guy
a burning case of pink eye.
(Sigh) And how'd you
manage to melt your sneaker?
You have to be more
careful, you know.
That's the third pair
you've ruined this month.
And you look hungry.
When did you eat last?
Oh, quick Virgil, where's
the nearest portal?
I don't care where it goes,
just get me out of here, man!
This week, we went to
the ancient land of Turkey,
where people have lived in cities
dating as far back as 7700 B.C.
Archeologists like
Schliemann, Dörfelt and Blagen
have uncovered buildings
built on top of other buildings,
along with some of the
treasures of ancient history.
Right now, I'd like to uncover a
cheeseburger fries and a soda.
See you next week!
