4 quotesThe Struggle for Middle Eastern Resources
Prince Nasir Al-Subaai
What are they thinking, my brother and these American lawyers?
Bryan Woodman
What are they thinking? They're thinking that it's running out. It's running out... and ninety percent of what's left is in the Middle East. This is a fight to the death.

Divine Council Discusses Temple Desecration Response
Hermes
Zeus, you must bring an end to this. They've attacked our temples!
Poseidon
Now they dare to desecrate Zeus image!
Demeter
We could reach out to them!
Apollo
Accommodation could be made! A truce!
Zeus
No! I created them. And they reward my love with defiance? There will be no truce!
Hades
Finally, some rage from you. How long has it been? How long, brother, since you've seen my face?
Zeus
Hades.
Hades
Endless years I've watched from the Underworld and saw your wrath tempered with love. You created them for one reason, so their prayers would fuel our immortality. But you love them too well, they've grown strong. And now, I am forced to rise because we are all threatened.
Zeus
What do you want, brother?
Hades
Let me loose upon them. They will pray again and you will bathe in their awe and fear. And we will grow strong again.
Apollo
He belongs in the Underworld, not here!
Hades
You do not tell me where I belong. You said it is love that feeds us, but you depend on their love. I've only learned to live on their fear. Their pain.
Poseidon
Zeus? Our brother speaks the truth. Give it to him.
Zeus
Go, do what you will.
Apollo
Father, we need the mortals!
Zeus
No, Apollo. Hades is right. Their insolence are surprised. Like children, they need to be reminded of the order of things! Set an example, brother. Turn them on each other, and back into our arms.
