01x09 - !sis and Osiris

Post by bunniefuu »

I'm worried about her all she ever doesn't study day and night deluxe Oh most parents would find that troubling I

know that master too young for authors she's always been like this hasn't she

something interested in other was no holding her back I remember even when

she was 2 or 3 years old she hates to realize there was anything she didn't know

I don't know somehow this time it's

different I'm worried that might have something to do with mad what you mean ever since

Matt's been gone she's been so focused on history and mythology archeology they

both have well she's always been interested in our work she even helped

Matt build a computer I know but she's an you spend all their time at it

I'm afraid that unconsciously she's taking on Matt's work as a wave gaining

his approval and that's sad because you and I both know that she may never see

her father again not sure she could be striding her whole life for a gold star that she's just not

gonna get lots of daughters do

I just feel like she should be hanging out with friends and going to parties and maybe meeting a boy you know I used

to teach at high school and if there's one thing I learned is that each child

is on a different schedule let her have

her space let her do what she needs to do

I stutter a dizzy spell I'm fine when the doctor said open wide and say ah

look let's not turn this in sympathy for ash a week okay sir any news about your

dad well

Klee was a really good idea of how we can find the next so Apollo's Oracle at

Delphi was up not as helpful as Apollo was though Oh max you should have seen it I mean he showed up at the last

possible second and saved my life oh truly a deus ex machina it's an old theater term when the hero

gets himself or herself in so much trouble that the gods have to show up to fix everything well that's exactly it

anyway he said we'd find dad in Egypt Oh naturally

what's with the smile yeah it's over second nature to you have you listened

to yourself you talked to Apollo now you go to Egypt I spent half my life

studying wall paintings and hieroglyphics but you're gonna be there you're gonna meet the gods of the

Pharaohs it's quite an adventure well I'd trade places with you no I I

don't think you would so what are you going well we were supposed to go

yesterday but oh oh yeah yeah sorry about that what what about today oh well mums got

to work so we're gonna stick around keep you company I don't be ridiculous I'm just lucky you can do for me that can't do for myself

what's important is that you find your father I don't interfere with that max there's no problem with us waiting a few days no

I won't have it what no tea Oh No we'll have some tea

and then you can go to work cuz I'm gonna be fine here on my own you sure yeah quite sure okay

crook and flail symbol of the Pharaohs power I'm pretty sure those are the ones

I saw inside coffee's my vision you sure max is gonna be okay I'm sure

he'll be fine I mean if he needs our help he'll let us know sometimes it can

get a little tiring having everybody help you out all the time I know that

okay

so you really think this is where dad's gonna be I know it is I saw him do you

ever think what it would be like diffuse hair only all the time no I don't mean like a dream I mean like you know what

if we found him then what would it be like when he came back when everything just go back the

same way it was or no would be better you know you can't turn back the clock

things happen and you can't fix them just have to go forward you know I mean you fought off the

Minotaur you walked through hell those things don't just go away but you know

it'll be the best part telling that all about it he would love these stories yeah I I can't wait to find out where

he's been no kidding so go go okay

the people have dated so long - your turn I stopped eating to be Osiris

venue to thank you for all you've done and you will have a garment fitting the occasion thank you your majesty thank

movie but you really need to talk to him when he come back he thinks you're mad at him or something man that guy needs

to get some self-esteem well who can blame them I mean you're disappearing all the time you never see him he thinks you're busy with your new

friends oh yeah all my new friends Hades Thor and said oh how you doing

what's this Osiris also invented writing of course he did read it uh okay weirdo now to me

you know Anubis I'm not really in the mood right now to read yeah I've been planning for the party

all day and everything stop would you read to the poor boy how could I get

some help here I'm sorry but I don't exactly have an English slash hieroglyphic dictionary handy you know I

don't know how to read yet okay nicer heroes once upon a time in a

faraway land there lived a poor shepherd boy called Anubis

he lived with his uncle and aunt who mistreated him what Anubis didn't know

he would be one day destined to take over the rebellion that would take over the evil empire because Anubis was a

Jedi Knight fill it come on in nice to see you

oh don't tell me Alex said to you to keep me company just in case

uh actually Clio sent me over here she said Alex was here I was supposed to give him some money

oh yes yes Alex was here earlier thinks I need looking after because of one little dizzy spell no I I sent him away

a lot I think you went to the library does everybody think I'm an idiot

what do you mean Oh first Alex and Cleo and now you everybody's got a different story you know people don't do that if

they're not trying to hide something yeah I see well don't tell me another life everyone here look when you sit

down though I'll tell you a story

suppose I had a secret something that

changed the way that I saw the world wouldn't you tell your friends maybe

maybe I wouldn't want to burden their lies well I'll know maybe I want to do

is have dinner share stories with them instead of asking them to drive into the hospital he's saying Alex is sick

No

this is my secret and I haven't told Cleo and Alex not because I don't care

for them but because there's nothing they can do to help and I'm determined have at least one part of my life is not

infected this thing what I'm saying is if alex is not

telling you something it doesn't mean you don't matter to him yeah okay are

are you okay oh well for now good now

how about you helping with as a project I've got sure get you hammer so Luba Skywalker

got into a flying machine and save the day DN come on father

come play no Anubis not now Nasus attend

me my husband has noticed my sweet smell

you wanted me be careful what you say to !sis she doesn't trust me don't worry

I told her to have faith in me I know you truly wish to celebrate your brother's deeds yes my dear my brother's benevolent

deeds is stupid backward deeds Egypt to the rest of the over fine before anyone

learns a scribble language on papyrus it's really quite an interesting thing perhaps you should try it

what learn to read write what a ridiculous way to communicate when one can simply talk what about the laws the

crops records of the weather

these were clearer simpler before there was a more defined separation between the peasants at us oh I know he's very

charming he's stolen the affection of the Egyptian people just as he stole my family's not this whole thing again

Cyrus is a brother and our king I am your husband when have I given you cause to doubt it

your son gives me cause every day wife was he not born just six months after

all Cyrus left on his travels you were my husband then as you want now I'm a

Jedi Knight I'm going to destroy the evil emperor who k*lled my father

what kind of son chooses his knuckle over his father blood keeps his blood

breathes death if you've come here to discuss your payment your timing isn't

very good I won't expect payment until the job is done

just wanted to assure you that I have the measurements I need your brother

will receive the gift of a lifetime

set my king I still have to thank you

for everything the presents no it's my duty and my pleasure everything okay

between you and Estes please don't worry yourself about my private affairs

okay what's up with him one minute he's worshiping the ground I walk on the next

minute he's throwing daggers well according to some versions of the myth Osiris was actually noops his father oh

man don't tell me Neff this is my sister too it's a myth remember I mean these

are the children of the earth in the sky they didn't exactly go to seventh grade together I take that as a yes then look

just be careful upset okay he really has it in for a Cyrus yeah wonderful Cyrus is having babies with his wife I don't

blame my name's that kind of soap opera he's always been jealous of you I mean it's not just about Anubis he hates

everything you do are we talking Jenna Marcia Brady jealous or Cain and Abel um the ladder

looks like he's gonna k*ll you well what k*ll me

thanks for sounding worried khlo look let's just find dad and get out of there boy that happens yeah piece of cake I

have an ingenious idea why don't you look up house that actually does k*ll me then I'll know to stay away from any

crocodiles or cliffs that he presents to me okay well it's a pretty famous story so shouldn't be too hard to know okay

can we just make a rule right now whoever stays in the study does not say oh no and that tone of voice well we'll

start that next time okay it says here that set kills a cyrus by tricking him into climbing a gold and jeweled

sarcophagus see what I mean to find dad we need to find that sarcophagus but to

keep you alive you have to stay away from

gold solid gold yes

is it possible to have it only appear solid the exterior is gold but the

inside the rest of it could it be something just as heavy but less magnificent that would be possible go

right the interior is the most important part how snugger fit will it be

very very snug my measurements ensure that you were very clever to sneak me

into the palace on the skies but Taylor the King will never suspect the true purpose of my measurements King a Cyrus

will suffocate he will die good work Taylor

stop I was having so much fun I forgot

you were there I can't wait to make you crawl back into your pit you want to

make me go away give me what I want you're dreaming yes I am dreaming of a world that isn't

bound by chains of conformity or where the stories are different every time

not that trapped in stone like these pathetic ancient myths

let's make a deal doctor my stove for your son's left over my dead body

not yet you leave them alone the thought you'd be proud of me after all I'm just

doing what the story says in fact I believe this is an occasion that calls

for a little toast for once I'm sticking to tradition

I thought you'd be happy and I thought you'd know by now not to waste your

energy on futile escape attempts your kid left head first into the myth

of Osiris I didn't lure him in and Osiris being the god of the afterlife

well you had to figure that death would play into it somewhere

he thinks he'll find me here he's foolish no no no no no he was never that

he came here for a reason didn't he hope perhaps

a toast

- desperate hope and to fulfilling the myth I'm not drinking with you well I

suppose you're allowed to be miserable you know what's going to happen okay

okay okay you got you got don't you go trying to

attack your father for once no no no

isn't scream for his life like you did did your father like the place naked

jackal like we do well uh my father was

the earth remember again Gabe but um I

do remember when I was little I used to crawl up next to my dad if he

used to tell me the most amazing stories stories with the gods and monsters you know the river rises one sunsets

yeah stuff like that I remember he's take me my sister

through walks in the woods and show us how trees grew all the different kinds of rocks all the different kinds of

birds all that stuff it was really cool he taught you how to be king

yeah I guess he did one day you'll teach your son tonight yeah you're a Sun horse

greatest of the gods he'll overthrow said after he kills a Cyrus but that won't be for a long time

from now

oh please we already read that we can read it again what's that

oh my god at that and right

you're getting really good at that please don't tell me I should become a carver why not I know everyone tells me

that I should be a carpenter or a mechanic or a driver you know it's like I'm not even out of high school and already I'm supposed to be the guy in

the work shirt hey there's no shame in that if that's what you really want to do it's not that I don't like helping

people I just I don't want to do it forever you always been so smart oh I

know it was smart you know what it always was interested now you get

interested in something and you won't do all this wandering excuse me Asha

oh hello Barbara no I hadn't thought of that

who told you that are you sure

well I don't think you should making a big career decision over some rumor

about Matt no no just let it go

well that's what you really want to do know I'll support you get people in Cairo to give me a call by my

recommendation ya know I'll uh see you Monday

things that about Alex's death yes and

no dr. phrase is always believing the worst to listen to any room about Matt

being spotted at one part of the world or another but you know buy it and now

because I tell you the truth I was the one who was doing the selling I put a call through to antiquity dealer in the

Cairo so now she believes Matt's over there no believe me I have done the

bellows family a huge favor

yes the sarcophagus I saw in my vision of dad but Alex you have to listen to me

now I know you want to find dad so do i but you can't do it tonight it's too

dangerous I mean you saw dad's note I know that's exactly why I have to stay

he's just gonna protect me maybe you should listen I will be careful like she'll be dead according to

the myth Osiris gets tricked into the sarcophagus inset and his men seal it up and you die so I just won't go in it's as simple as

that look clear we have never been so close before you want to go home now look what happens if you die I mean is

that for good or do you get lost like dad are you just dead Alex please just

come home like dad said I can't sorry look I promise you I will not go

into the cause okay no matter what my word who you talking to
