Order, order! I, Zeus, King of the Gods, have summoned you all to Mount Olympus because, somehow, the Greek economy has collapsed! [ the other Greek gods express their shock ] I know! No, I know! I was as surprised as you are! I mean, after all, the Greeks are widely known as a hard-working, industrious people -- you know, a people willing to labor week in and week out, three days a week, one hour a day until the age of 45. But today, we Gods must come to their aid. So, quick -- let us hear from the Greek God of Finance! [ the other gods look around ] Wait... there is a Greek God of Finance, right? There has to be! Surely, someone has been looking after the economy all these years! Ares! Isn't Finance part of your sphere? Ares: No! I, Ares, am the God of War, Violence, and Bloodlust! Zeus: [ dumbstruck ] All three? Wow! Great range! Athena -- what about you? Athena: I am also War. Zeus: Okay... hold on. So, basically, we have two gods of War, huh? Athena: I'm also god of Wisdom. Zeus: Okay, great! Perfect! Okay, then, give us your wisdom. Athena: We could go to war. [ the other gods cheer ] Zeus: No! No! Easy, you animals! We're not going to war! We can figure this out! Apollo! Apollo -- don't you dabble in Finance? Apollo: [ wearing dark sunglasses ] Nah, baby... I'm all about the sun! Zeus: Hmm... Apollo, I keep telling you -- you gotta wear sunblock. Apollo: Man... what are you talking about, baby? [ he lifts his sunglasses to reveal white skin around his eyes ] Zeus: [ he rolls his eyes ] Artemis -- what about you? Artemis: I am Goddess of the Hunt! Zeus: Mmm-hmm. So, basically, also War? Artemis: But I 'malso Queen of the Animals! And I've never told anyone this, but I'm ALSO a VIRGIN!! Zeus: [ laughing ] Yeah! Yeah, no kidding! Alright, okay. [pointing ] And, I'm sorry, who are you again? Demeter: I am Demeter, Goddess of the Harvest, and I am not a virgin. [ he winks ] Zeus: Uh -- what about you, Poseidon, God of the Ocean? Surely, you've dealt with sea trade and international commerce -- you know. Do you have an economic plan? Poseidon: Okay, here's the plan: I turn into a dolphin -- hear me out! I have sex with a human woman -- hear me out! It's not consensual -- hear me out! [ he pauses ] She's my daughter. Zeus: [ laughing ] Oh, man, you dirty dog! Poseidon: [ laughing ] Ohhhh! You're gonna bust my balls, Zeus? Zeus: [ laughing ] You got me! No, man -- I turn into animals that have sex with chicks ALL the time! I'm like Tiger Woods, only an actual tiger! Hera: Ahem! [ she taps her staff ] Zeus: [ stunned ] Crap! It's my wife -- Hera. [ coolly ] Hey, baby! Hey. I was just, uh, totally being faithful, you know? What's up? Hera: [ she sighs ] Have you dealt with the financial crisis yet? Zeus: Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, pretty much, yeah, we got it. [ an arrow hits him in the chest ] Hey! Eros! cool it, pal! Eros: [ poty-faced ] Sowwy. Zeus: Hey, Aphrodite! Keep your son in check! Aphrodite: Please. He's your son, too. Zeus: [ stone-faced, turns to Hera ] Whaaat?! What?! No, she's kidding! Come on! Come on, she's the Goddess of Laughs, that one! [ he laughs ] Hera: Okay, well... you're not the only one having affairs. I just had sex with a dlophin. [ Poseidon is now stone-faced ] Though, it was disappointing. Poseidon: Yeah... well... the dolphin told me to tell you... that the ocean was really cold. So... that explains it. Besides... Zeus: Hmm... Hera: Also, I need to go to the doctor because I got actual crabs. Zeus: Oh. Yeah. Okay. [ Hera leaves ] See ya'! [ to the other gods ] Okay, financial solutions! We need 'em, who's got 'em? Hermes! Hermes: Yeah, uhhhh, I could send them a message! Zeus: [ he shakes his head ] You're the WORST! Yuo really are the worst. You're TERRIBLE! Hades! God of the Underworld! What have you got? Hades: We could just kill everyone. I don't know -- I only do ONE thing. Zeus: Yeah, I know! I know, I know... I don't even know why I asked. Maybe it's time for Zoloft, buddy. Alright? Okay, uh, who else? What about the Greek God of music -- Yanni? [ reveal Yanni playing on keyboards as the wind whips through his hair ] Zeus: [ he rolls his eyes ] Okay, that was helpful. Dionysus! Where's Dionysus, the god of Festivals and Drunkeness? Is he here? [ Dionysus runs in ] Dionysus: Oh! Yeah! Hey! [ laughing ] Oh, man, sorry I'm late! You know -- orgy stuff! Zeus: Mmm-hmm. Dionysus: Yeah, I had, like, ten orgies! Zeus: Great. Dionysus: Demeter knows what I'm talking about! Demeter: [ laughing ] Shut up! Dionysus: By the way -- Athena? You were great last night. Athena: [ confused ] Uh -- what was last night? Dionysus: When you turned into a goat! Yeah? [ alarmed ] What, did you not turn into a goat? Athena: Nope. Dionysus: So I just banged a regular goat? Zeus: [ laughing ] Yeah! Dionysus: [ he shrugs it off ] I've done worse! [ they laugh ] So what's up, guys? Zeus: you know -- we're just trying to find out which god is in charge of Finance. Dionysus: Uh-oh! Zeus: Uh-oh? Hermes: It's the PARTY God's fault, Zeus! He's been overseeing ALL the Greek banks! Dionysus: Hey, SHUT UP, you little BITCH! Zeus: Yeah, SHUT UP, YOU LITTLE BITCH!! By my own beard, is this true? Dionysus: Well, kinda... Zeus: Yeah? Dionysus: You know... I mean, look, I've been dealing with the spending part, you know? I've got the spending part of the economy -- I've got that mastered. You know -- spending! Zeus: Right. Dionysus: What's the other part? Zeus: Uh -- saving. Dionysus: Ohhhhh!! [ laughing ] No, I didn't do that! I didn't do that part, man! Zeus: Well, then you leave me no choice. I summon Klaus, the German God of Prudence and Austerity! Klaus: [ enters, weilding a wooden hammer ] Okay. Listen up -- I will lend you zis money, but first you must take some some responsibility and make some serious cutbacks! Ya? [ the other gods object ] Zeus: No way! Sorry, Klaus. Now, either you give us the money, or we take ALL of Europe down with us. I mean, we started democracy, we can end it. Klaus: Okay, fine! [ the gods cheer ] [ cut to spinning newspaper, with headline: "Greece Gets Bailout" ] [ zoom in on sub-headline: "Vows to Spend It Unwisely" ] [ fade ] .
