"Zeus." "Poseidon." "It's been many years." "What do you see?" "Thunderclouds." "But no lightning." "Stolen." "What?" "Do you think I took it?" "Omnipotence has blinded, brother." "We are forbidden from stealing each other's powers." "But our children aren't." "You're accusing my son?" "I haven't seen him since he was a baby." "He doesn't know me or even know who he is, because of you." "If your son is the thief," "I will send him to the depths of Tartarus." "If you touch him, you will have the fight of your life." "He must return the bolt to me, in 14 days, by midnight in the summer solstice." "Or there will be war." "And he's alive." "Percy Jackson is a beast." "You're a beast, man." " How long was it?" " Seven minutes." " Seven minutes?" " Uh hmmm." "That's crazy, man, that's ridiculous." "How do you do it?" "I just like being in the water." "It's the only place I can think." "I wish I could spend all day in the water instead of this place." "Right, like high school without the musical." "Every day is the same thing." "Good morning, I'm Ms. Dodds." "The substitute English teacher." "Would someone please explain what Shakespeare was trying to convey in this line from Othello?" "Percy Jackson." "Well..." "I'm sorry, I don't know." "Anybody else?" " Mom, I'm home." " I'm up here, honey." " Hi" " Hey, Mom." " How was school today?" " The usual." "This dyslexia thing is getting worse." "Why do you think that?" "I don't know, maybe it's the ADHD." "I thought this school was suppose to make things better." "Percy, I know how hard this is for you." "But someday, it will all make sense." "Really?" "When?" "Tonight?" "Tomorrow?" "When?" "Woman." "Hi, Gabe." "Where's my beer?" "It's in the fridge." "So what, it's suppose to magically float from the ice box and into my hand." "Oh come on, man." "You could do that right here?" "It's disgusting, we're in the kitchen." "Yeah, real charming you got that." "Show some respect." "That's my mom, right there." "This is my house." "You show some respect." "Why do you stay with that pig?" "He smells like a sewer." "He sleeps till noon everyday, and he can't even hold a job." "Why do you stay with him?" "He's been good to us, Percy in ways you don't understand." "You're right, I don't understand." "I don't get it." "Be prepared, everything is about to change, Percy." "Everything is about to change ..." "There are 12 Olympian gods." "The big three are the brothers Zeus, Poseidon and Hades." "They attained the power by overthrowing their father, Kronos, chopping him into little pieces." "The three gods have been rivals ever since." "Always arguing, always threatening war." "On several occasions, they would come down to Earth" "And, uhmm, how shall I put this?" "Hook up?" "They would hook up with mortals." "The children produced were half god, half human." "Can anyone what they were called?" "Percy?" "I'm sorry, what, Mr. Brunner?" "What is the proper name of the offspring of a human and a god?" " Demigod." " Exactly." "Many have been great heroes." "Like Hercules and Achilles." "Can you name another?" "I'll give you a hint." "You have something in common." "Percy ..." "Perseus?" "Correct." "Now over here, we have a depiction of Hercules defeating the Nemean lion." "Hercules killed the beast with his bare hands and he took the skin as trophy." " Percy ..." " Yes, Ms. Dodds?" "We need to talk." "So did I do something wrong?" "Ms. Dodds?" "Hello?" "Where is it?" "How did you get up there?" "You stole the lightning bolt!" " I don't know what you're talking about!" " Give it to me!" "Give it to me now!" "Percy!" "Release him!" "You ..." "Release him or I swear I'll tear you to pieces." "I'm going crazy." "I should be on vacation." "Percy, calm down." "Everything's gonna be okay." "Oh God, wait." "Did that really just happen?" "She's turned to that thing?" "A fury." "Concealed in our school, I should have known." "Wait, wait." "A fury?" "What is a fury?" "And why did you say you could tear her to pieces?" "What did she want from you?" "She ... said something ... about me ... stealing a lightning bolt." "They've found him." " He's in danger." " Who found me?" " He's no longer safe here." " Okay, where should we move him?" "We have no choice, the camp." "What camp?" "Look, I'm standing right here." "If they think he's the thief, there's nowhere safe from heaven and earth for him now" "Percy." "Take this to defend yourself." "It's a powerful weapon." "Guard it well." "Only use it in times of severe distress." "This is a pen." "This is a pen!" "Take him to his mother." "And don't let him out of your sight." "Percy, come on." "Come on, man, come on!" "What's going on?" "Don't trust anyone, okay." "Don't look at anybody, just keep walking." "Why did Mr. Brunner ask you to watch me?" " Because I'm your protector." " Wait, hang on." "My protector?" "Are you kidding?" "What?" "You think because I'm like this I'm not capable of keeping you safe?" "Maybe you're not seeing what I'm seeing." "You have crutches." "Look, I will give my life to secure your well-being." "What are you talking about?" "What's going on?" "We gotta warn your mom." "Come on, Percy." "Come on." "Sally!" "More beer!" "Look, we gotta talk, okay." "Can't you see she's servicing me and my friends?" "Hey, hey, don't talk about my mom like that, you bald-headed freak." " Nice one." " Like I said, I'm your protector." "Sally, Percy has to leave now." "Like right now." "What is happening?" " Okay, I swear I didn't steal anything." " Honey, I believe you." "I believe you." "Where are you taking me?" "What is this camp?" "It's a camp for really special people like you." "Special people, what, am I crazy or something?" "No, honey, no." "Percy, this is about your father." "Your father was unlike any guy you've ever seen... he was just dazzling." "Now he's dazzling?" "And then you came along and then it was just perfect." "But he had to leave." "So he did abandon us." "No, honey." "He was forced to." "He loved you." "Leaving you, it was probably the most difficult thing he ever did." "Why did he had to go?" " Because he's ..." " Sally, watch out!" " Percy!" " Mom, are you alright?" "Grover, are you alright?" "Is it me or is it raining cows?" "What is that?" "Get out!" "Come on!" "Why are you taking your pants off?" "What are you doing?" "My job." "Whoa, whoa." "You're half doggie?" "I'm half goat." "Watch out." "There's glass." "Come on, get out of the car, that thing's getting closer!" " Do you ever need these?" " It's just for show." "Follow me!" "This way, guys." "This way." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Run!" "Run!" "Go, go!" "Come on!" "We're here." "Grover!" "Mom, what are you doing?" "This is as far as I can get." "I can't go through, I'm not like you." " I'm not leaving without you." " You have to!" "You have to." "Put my mother down!" "Percy, go!" "You're safe inside the gate." " What can I do?" " Use the pen!" " What?" " Use Brunner's pen and click it." "Are you okay?" "Percy, behind you!" " Percy, are you okay?" " I'm not feeling..." "Percy!" " It hurts." " I'm sure glad you're alive." "Where am I?" "What is this place?" "The infirmary." "You've been unconscious for three days." "Three days?" "So, Percy." "What do you remember?" "Some crazy dream." "There was a monster." "My mom was there, you were there too." "You were some weird hybrid man-goat thing, whoa." "Put it in the correct term, it's satyr." "All of it was real?" "My mom was gone?" "I'm sorry, Percy." "I tried, man, I really do." "But frankly, I'm just a junior protector." "I don't have horns yet." "It's my fault." "It was my job to protect you." "Both of you." "So, this is Camp Half-Blood." " What do you mean, what?" " I think you know." "Half mean, half mortal, half god." " Fire!" " Oh guys, watch the arrows!" "Newcomer, hello." "Look, man." "Remember all the myths about great gods and goddesses." "Well, they're not myths." "Remember what Mr. Brunner said." "Sometimes... they come down to Earth and they fall in love with mortals." "And they'll have kids." " No way." " Yes way." "Yup, you're a demigod." "Two points for Percy Jackson!" "Don't worry, but you're not alone." "There's hundreds in the world." "Some live normal lives." "And some, I'm not allowed to vulgar names are very famous." "I'm talking about like White House famous." "See man, this place right here." "This is the place where you learn to harness your powers." "You train to become leaders, warriors and heroes." "I think you have the wrong guy." "I'm not a hero, I'm a loser." "I have dyslexia and ADHD." "And those are your greatest gifts." "If you kinda read, the words float off the page, right?" "That's because your brain's hotwired for ancient Greek and not English." " Right." "At the museum I can read." " Yeah." "And your ADHD..." "You're impulsive, Percy." "You can't be still!" "Those are your natural battle reflexes, man." "They kept you alive in your fight." "Look, no pitiful loser can defeat a Minotaur." "Your blood is special." "It's the blood of a god." "That's a lot to process." "A lot." "A lot." "This is where you'll do most of your battle training." "What's her name?" " She will squash you like a bug." " Her name?" "Annabeth." "Daughter of Athena, the goddess of wisdom." "Hey, no staring." "Keep it moving." "Come on, come on." "There's someone I want you to see." "Check this out." " What are those things?" " The centaurs." " Wait, is that Mr. Brunner?" " Come on." "Mr. Brunner?" "In my world, I'm known as Chiron." " Are you recovered?" " Am I recovered?" "You, you're not in a wheelchair." " You have ..." " A real horse's ass." "I apologize for hiding my true form, but I needed to keep an eye on you." "I hope you'll forgive me." "Come." "Grover!" "Grover, come here!" "Daughters of Aphrodite." "Alright, guys." "You guys got a lot of catching up to do." "Their mother is the goddess of love." "Let's see where that leads." " Hey, baby!" " Satyrs ..." "What is this place?" "Welcome home." "His father built this." "For you." "This whole place is mine?" "I think it has some weight to it." " My father is Poseidon." " God of the seas." "Why didn't anybody tell me?" "It was for your own safety." "It's extremely rare for a child to be born to one of the big three." "They're very powerful." "A threat." "A threat?" "Who am I threatening?" "Poseidon's brothers." "Zeus and Hades." "That's why your mother married your stepfather." "His pungent odor masked the smell of your blood." "And hid you from anything or anyone that gods have sent to kill you." "My mother put up with that creep to protect me?" "I wish I've known..." "She sacrificed so much for me." "Now she's gone." " Why am I even here?" " You're here because you're in jeopardy." "Everyone thinks you're the lightning thief." "Look, I didn't steal it." "Zeus' bolt is the most powerful weapon ever created." "And if it's not returned by summer solstice" " In ten days, there will be a war." " This is your problem, alright, not mine." "This is about your world not mine." "This is about all worlds." "The Olympians would be forced to choose sides," "Earth would become a battleground." "Mountains erupting, earthquakes, raging fires!" "The end of life as you know it." "What can we do?" "I want to take you to Olympus." "Convince Zeus of your innocence." "Someone's using you to start a war." "What are we doing here?" "Let's go now." "Your boldness is commendable, but outside those gates, you will be in danger at all times." "The Fury and the Minotaur were only the beginning." "First, you must train." "This is always a fun game to watch." "How do you guys wear these stuff?" "It weighs more than me!" " Trust me, wear it or you'll get killed." " Wait, what?" " Wait." " Heroes!" "Warriors!" "Come on!" "Hustle, hassle." "Stop bloody gagging." "Percy, step forward." "This is Percy Jackson." "He's gonna need a team." "We'll take him." "I'm Luke, son of Hermes and camp leader." "Not necessarily in that order." " Where's your helmet?" " No one gave me one." "Chiron, you still got your wheelchair?" "He's gonna need it." "You're gone here, man." "I'm messing with you." "Smile a little bit." "It's good for you, kid." "Anybody got an extra helmet?" "Please pass it up." "Try it on." "That will protect you." "From all of us." "Welcome to the blue soldiers, my friend." "Alright, everyone in position for capture the flag." "First team to capture the enemy's banner wins." "Dismissed." "Ready, steady, now!" "Percy I know where the flag is at, come on!" "Keep your eyes open and don't get killed." "I'm coming, buddy." "I'm coming." "Sons of Ares." "Watch out!" "Well, that's a sword!" "That's a sword!" "You guys take camp way too seriously." "Go!" "Percy, get out here!" "Go look for the flag." "How did I just do that?" "I won." "Do you really think it would be that easy?" "My mother is goddess of wisdom and battle strategy." "Do you know what that means?" "I always win." "I always lose." "Maybe we're both wrong." "Hey Chiron, shouldn't we get there and stop it." " Coz she's killing him, man." " You gotta be kidding." "This is the best part." " God!" " Stand up and fight." "Hero." "Come on, Percy." "Go to the water." "The water will give you power." "Excuse me." "Excuse me!" "Ladies and gentlemen, the son of Poseidon is coming through!" "A hero is coming through!" "Move it!" "Hey, no dirty look." "Stop that." "Hey, Percy?" "We're having a party at our place later and we would really love it if you came." "I would love to come, that'll be great." " That will be amazing!" " Really grand." "I would love to come too, to the party, you know." "Thanks for inviting me, ladies." "Beat it, nymphs." "Wait, don't leave, ladies." "I'm available." "Hey, come on, don't leave." "I'm available!" "What time's the party?" "Feeling like a hero?" "More like a mutant." "I'm not gonna grow a fish tail or gills or anything like that, am I?" "Not likely." "Although a huge ego is not out of question." "You know, you could've killed me out there." "I could've died if I was normal." "But you aren't." "I get a sense that you don't like me very much." "It's possible." "I mean, our parents hate each other." "Wait, they do?" "I definitely have strong feelings for you." "I just haven't decided if they're positive or negative." "Well, you let me know when you figured it out." "You'll be the first." "Percy Jackson show me yourself!" "Hades, stay back!" "Percy Jackson, bring me the bolt." "Be a good boy, hand it to me, and I will exchange it for your mother." "Percy, listen, Percy!" "My mother is gone!" "No, your mother is still alive." "I sent the minotaur to abduct her." "She's here with me in the Underworld." "Mom?" "Percy." "What have you done with my mother?" "If you ever want to see your mother again, you will bring me the bolt." "Chiron, I have to go get her." "Percy, you don't have the bolt." "I'm gonna tell him the truth." "When he realizes, I'm not the thief." " He'll release her." " No." "You cannot negotiate with Hades." "When he finds out you don't have the bolt he will kill you and your mother." "But this is our only chance." "No, stick to our plan." "Come to Olympus." "Bargain with Zeus." "Once you convince him of your innocence, we will do everything in our power to bring back your mother." "Okay." "Going somewhere?" "Yeah, I'll be going for a walk." "For a walk?" "I'm coming with you." "No, I'm going alone." " No, I'm coming with you." " No." "You're being followed." "Leave me alone." "Go to sleep or something." "No." "One small victory and you're ready to fight Hades?" " Double team." " Really?" "You too?" "Look, I just found out my mother is still alive, I'm gonna get her back." " From the Underworld?" " Whatever it takes." "Yeah, well maybe you'll outsmart Hades." "Maybe I will." "I can't let you do this, okay?" "I'm not asking for your permission." "Okay." "Well, according to the regulations, if I can't stop you" "I must accompany you, coz I'm your best friend." " And your protector." " Junior protector." "Was that really necessary?" "I don't need your help, okay." "This is something I have to do on my own." "Yeah well, we weren't asking for you permission." "Come on." "Today you tried to kill me." "Now you wanna defend me?" "It wasn't real." "That was just training." "Percy, that's all I've ever done is train and train." "I've grown up here, I've only been in the outside world a couple of times." "And I've never had a chance to go in an actual quest." "Beside, you won one battle, and I've won hundreds." "You're gonna need my experience." "Good point." "You two really wanna come." " Yeah." " Yes." "Okay." "I guess we're all going." "So, who knows how to get to the Underworld?" "I did not think of that one." "I think I know someone who might." "Luke?" "Hey, guys." "Percy." "I'm thinking that you'd stop by sooner or later." "Everybody does." "Getting away from all that Renaissance Fair... stuff out there, you know." "But ..." "Welcome to the modern world." "Cool stuff." "What are you guys up to?" "We're going to get my mom back." "You're dad is the messenger of the gods." "One of the only ones who's gotten in and out of the Underworld." "Do you have any idea how?" "My dad's a jerk, I've never met him." "You too?" "Guess we all got daddy issues, huh?" "That's because all gods are the same." "Selfish, they only care about themselves." "But I once broke into my dad's house." "Got some cool stuff." "For you." "Flying shoes?" "My dad's." "He has hundreds of these little guys." "I won't even miss him." "You're gonna need the other one." "People have gone to the Underworld before without having to be dead." "Hercules did it, Morpheus did it, my dad does it all the time." "Getting in is the easy part." "Getting out, well, that's tricky." "This is a map to Persephone's pearls." "Persephone?" "You mean Hades' wife?" "Yeah, he forced her to marry him." "He keeps her prisoner." "Needless to say she hates it there." "It's hot, he's a weirdo." "So she has secret visitors." "She keeps pearls and put them all over the world." "These pearls, they provide a quick escape from the Underworld." "You could use them to get out." "So how do the pearls work?" "Easy." "You take a pearl, step on it, you crush it, and visualize where you wanna be taken." "Right now, there's three pearls in the United States." "This map will guide you there." "Right here is your first location." "Auntie Em's Garden Emporium." "Once you find the first pearl, the map will show you the next one, and the next one, and then you're off to Hades." "Which reminds me, you guys might need some extra protection." "My favorite shield." "You might wanna take a step back." " Thanks, Luke." " Don't mention it." "But ..." "You're gonna have to promise me one thing." "If you see my dad on the highway to hell" " Yeah." " Kick his ass for me." "This place definitely needs an extreme makeover." "Hello?" "Hello, anybody home in Auntieville?" "Check this out, they got free sodas." "Okay, that's nasty." "The health department needs to give this place an "F"." "Hey guys, check this out." "Look at this." "Gold Drachmas." "It means we're on the right track." "Here." "How are we gonna find the pearl in this place?" "That's a good question." "Okay, let's split up." " Check everything." " Good idea." "I'll go this way." "Auntie Em?" " She's coming!" " What?" "Who?" "We stopped to get directions, my poor husband." "Help me!" "Please help me!" "Check this out." "He's just like my Uncle Ferdinand." "That's crazy." "He got the mole in the same place." "But that's not my Uncle Ferdinand, coz my Uncle Ferdinand was killed by..." "Medusa!" " We're in trouble!" " Grover?" "We have to leave before she finds us." " Who?" "She turned my husband to stone." "Grover, where are you?" "Percy!" "Annabeth!" " Annabeth, where are you?" " Grover." "Come on, man." "Watch where you're going!" " Where are we?" " We're in Medusa's lair." "Don't move!" "Well, this is a fabulous surprise." "It's so heartening to have such young visitors." "We get so lonely here." "Don't we?" "That's why I create my statues." "They're my only company." " Daughter of Athena." " How do you know me?" "You have such beautiful hair." "I once had hair like that." "I was courted, desired by many suitors." "But that all changed because of your mother." "The woman who cursed me." "Who turned me..." " Don't look!" " into this." "They say the eyes are windows to the soul." "I hope you find my eyes... attractive." "It's so rude not looking people in the eye." "Come on." "Sneak a peek." "How are we gonna fight something we can't look at?" "We can look at her reflection." " Check this out." " Good idea." " I'll go get Annabeth." " Okay, I will take care of Medusa." "You'll make a wonderful addition to my collection." "We'll be friends forever." "Do you mind?" "Sooner or later, you will open those eyes." "The temptation to look at me is too hard to resist!" "Don't look, Annabeth, don't open your eyes!" "Who's that?" "Another demigod?" "I can sense you." "Son of Poseidon." "I used to date your daddy." "Need a hand?" " Thanks." " Come on." "Let's go." "I heard you have the lightning bolt." "May I see it?" "I don't have it." "Let me see your eyes." "I heard their bluer that the seclusian sea" "Open them!" "Or my hungry babies will have to open them for you." "Well, it will be such pity to destroy such young and handsome face." "Stay with me, Percy." "All you have to do is look!" "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm okay." "Son of Poseidon ..." "Piss off." "Guys, it's cool to open up your eyes." "Annabeth, that was great, great demigod driving." " We could take it with us." " The head?" "No, that's sick." "You open the eyes, they still work." "Dead or alive." "You'll never know when something like that may come in handy." "Yeah, you're right but I'm not touching it." "Come on, man." "Just take off your jacket." "We'll wrap it up until we get some ice." "Why do I have to take off my jacket?" "Because you're the protector." "Yeah, I'm the protector." "So I'm giving my hoody, and not my jacket, okay?"
