Quote context

[...]

- There's a strange odor in the air tonight.

- Yes, that's true.

- A dry, dusty fragrance, like a garden of dead flowers.

- Why is it so quiet? Can't even hear the noise of the oars.

- Look there!

- The rocks of the Sirens!

- Sirens?

- No man who hears their song can escape. They will draw us to the rocks and destroy us.

- We must flee, Ulysses, now.

- Let us go, Ulysses.

- It may be too late.

- Quick, get some wax and stop up the ears of all the men. Tell them not to look to the right nor to the left but to row. Row for their lives. It's the only thing that will save them. Hurry!

- The Sirens!

- Do not be afraid. Keep your heads down and row. Put this in your ears and row!

- Give me some wax. Polites!

- Polites. What is it?

- Tie me to the mast.

- What's that?

- Whatever my mouth speaks, whatever orders I may give, do not obey them.

- What are you going to do?

- I want to hear their song.

- You're mad?

- Tie me to the mast.

- All right then, if that's what you wish.

- As tight as you can.
