[ODYSSEUS breathes out] [ODYSSEUS] Penelope [ODYSSEUS opens the bedroom door] [PENELOPE] Is it you? Have my prayers been answered? Is it really you standing there, or am I dreaming once more? You look different, your eyes look tired Your frame is lighter, your smile torn Is it really you, my love? [ODYSSEUS] I am not the man you fell in love with I am not the man you once adored I am not your kind and gentle husband And I am not the love you knew before Would you fall in love with me again If you knew all I've done? The things I cannot change Would you love me all the same? I know that you've been waiting, waiting for love [PENELOPE] What kinds of things did you do? [ODYSSEUS] Left a trail of red on every island As I traded friends like objects I could use Hurt more lives than I can count on my hands But all of that was to bring me back to you So tell me Would you fall in love with me again If you knew all I've done? The things I can't undo I am not the man you knew I know that you've been waiting, waiting [PENELOPE] If that's true, could you do me a favor? Just a moment of labor that would bring me some peace See that wedding bed? Could you carry it over? Lift it high on your shoulders and take it far away from here [ODYSSEUS] How could you say this? I had built that wedding bed with my blood and sweat Carved it into the olive tree where we first met A symbol of our love everlasting Do you realize what you have asked me? The only way to move it is to cut it from its roots [ODYSSEUS] Twenty years [PENELOPE, PENELOPE & ODYSSEUS] I-I love you
