<Hacker> YOU NEED TO GO SOLO, BIG FELLA.
FORGET ABOUT APOLLO!
BLOT OUT CALLIOPE!
PUT HIMEROPA OUT OF YOUR MIND!
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU!
BUT I CARE ABOUT THEM.
WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR EONS.
LOYALTY?
YOU WANT LOYALTY?
STICK WITH ME, PAL, I'LL MAKE YOU A STAR.
YOU DESERVE THE BEST!
<Hacker> A CHAUFFEURED LIMO!
A PRIVATE JET!
ELEGANT DINNERS!
WHAT DO YA SAY, HANDSOME?
HMM.
I DON'T THINK SO.
OUR CYBERSITE NEEDS ME.
<Hacker> THEN THINK ABOUT THIS.
I MIGHT EVEN GIVE YOU A POINTY CHIN.
<Beast> THAT'S IT.
I'M LEAVING!
OK, OK-K-K-K - FORGET ABOUT THE CHIN!
<Digit> LET'S SEE, ORPHEUS SAID GO RIGHT ON THE ROAD TO CORINTH, DID THAT, LEFT AT THE TEMPLE OF ATHENA, AND THAT'S WHERE I'LL FIND THE BEAST!
OH, BEASTIE!
COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE!
YOIKES!
WRONG BEAST!
<Homer> OHHH!
HOW ABOUT A TRILOGY ON THE OLYMPIC GAMES?
<Calliope> NAH, IT'S BEEN DONE.
OHHHH.
WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?
I HAVEN'T HAD A GOOD IDEA IN EONS!
YOU KNOW WHAT, HOMER?
TO BE CREATIVE ONE MUST COMMUNE WITH THE FORCES OF NATURE!
TAKE A HIKE!
<Inez> HELLO.
<Calliope> DON'T MIND HOMER...
HE'S JUST GOT A BAD CASE OF WRITER'S BLOCK.
<Inez> ACTUALLY, I CAME TO SEE YOU, CALLIOPE.
OF COURSE YOU DID.
PULL UP A CUSHION.
YOU FROM A MAGAZINE?
<Inez> NO.
I CAME TO TALK ABOUT THE BEAST.
<Calliope> I DON'T HAVE TIME TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE MAD DRUMMINGS OF AN UNGAINLY BEAST.
<Inez> BUT IF YOU DON'T PLAY THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES EXACTLY RIGHT AT SUNSET - YOUR CYBERSITE WILL BE DESTROYED!
TELL ME ABOUT THE BEAST - I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HE PLAYS.
APOLLO SAYS HE ALWAYS PLAYS FIRST, STARTING YOU OFF.
<Calliope> THAT SOUNDS RIGHT - I CAN'T RECALL THE REST.
BUT LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING MORE EXCITING.
ME!
OKAY.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR PART?
I COUNT TO TWO, AND PLUCK MY LYRE ON THE SECOND BEAT.
HERE, LET ME SHOW YOU.
ONE-TWO, ONE-TWO, ONE-TWO, ONE-TWO, ONE-TWO... AND YOUR PATTERN REPEATS AGAIN AND AGAIN TH-THE SAME WAY EACH TIME?
EVERY OTHER COUNT, UNTIL THE SONG IS FINISHED.
<Homer> I'VE GOT IT!
I'VE GOT IT!
AN EPIC OF HEROIC PROPORTIONS!
THE TROJAN WAR!
AHHH, IT'S GOOD TO BE A MUSE!
HEY, GUYS, MORE INFO!
GO FOR IT!
<Jackie> I'M WITH YOU!
<Inez> AFTER THE BEAST STARTS, CALLIOPE COUNTS - ONE-TWO, AND PLAYS HER LYRE ON TWO.
HER PATTERN IS TO KEEP COUNTING, ONE-TWO,ONE-TWO, ONE-TWO... AND SHE ALWAYS PLAYS ON TWO!
COOL!
NOW WE'VE GOT TWO DIFFERENT SOUND PATTERNS!
THE GONG REPEATS EVERY THIRD COUNT...
THE LYRE EVERY OTHER COUNT!
<Jackie> IT'S BEGINNING TO SOUND LIKE SOMETHING - BUT WE REALLY NEED TO KNOW HIMEROPA'S PART OF THE SONG BEFORE IT MAKES ANY SENSE.
I'M ALMOST THERE NOW!
<Matt> HURRY, JAX!
IF DIGIT DOESN'T FIND THE BEAST SOON, ONE OF US IS GOING TO HAVE PLAY THOSE DRUMS - AND PLAY 'EM RIGHT!
<Hacker> EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!
THEY'LL LOVE YOU IN CASTLEBLANCA!
IF I CAN JUST KEEP THAT BONGO EYED BEAST HERE UNTIL TONIGHT'S CONCERT IS OVER - MOUNT OLYMPUS WILL BE MINE!
<Beast> YOU EXPECT ME TO PLAY ON THESE!?
A ROCK STAR OF MY CALIBER DESERVES BETTER!
<Himeropa> THE BEAST?
HA!
HOW SHOULD I REMEMBER WHAT THAT FUR-CHALLENGED MASTODON PLAYS?
DON'T YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT MY PART?
<Jackie> UH, SURE...
I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK.
<Himeropa> I COUNT TO FOUR OVER AND OVER AND EVERY TIME I GET TO FOUR - I PLAY.
<Jackie> CAN I HEAR HOW IT SOUNDS?
THE FUTURE OF YOUR CYBERSITE IS AT STAKE!
I KNOW!
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
CALM DOWN.
JUST PLAY YOUR HORN FOR ME.
<Himeropa> WELL, I DON'T USUALLY GIVE PRIVATE CONCERTS, BUT IF YOU COUNT, I'LL SHOW YOU HOW MY PART GOES.
<Jackie> OKAY.
ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR!
ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR!
I GET IT.
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU TELL ME?
WELL, WE ALL PLAY TOGETHER FOR ONE BEAT AND THEN THE SONG REPEATS.
DIVINE, GIRLS!
SIMPLY DIVINE!
<Jackie> GUYS, I'VE GOT THE HORN PART.
AFTER THE BEAST STARTS, HIMEROPA TOOTS HER HORN ON THE FOURTH COUNT.
ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR.
ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR.
AND THEY ALL PLAY TOGETHER ON ONE BEAT JUST BEFORE THE SONG REPEATS.
<Matt> ALRIGHT!
WE'VE GOT A SOUND PATTERN FOR EACH MUSICIAN!
BUT OUR CHART DOESN'T SHOW US ANY TIME WHEN THEY ALL- PLAY TOGETHER!
<Jackie> MAYBE THEY HAVE TO PLAY LONGER BEFORE IT ALL REPEATS.
TRY REPEATING APOLLO AND CALLIOPE'S PARTS A FEW MORE TIMES AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
<Jackie> IT'S GOING TO WORK!
ADD ONE MORE OF HIMEROPA'S PART.
<Matt> WE DID IT.
LOOK, WE FOUND A PLACE WHERE THEY ALL PLAY TOGETHER.
COOL!
ALL THREE PATTERNS MATCH UP ON THE 12TH NOTE!
AND IF THEY KEEP PLAYING THE SAME PATTERNS, THE MUSIC WILL REPEAT OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
<Inez> BUT THAT STILL DOESN'T TELL US WHEN THE BEAST PLAYS.
YOU'VE GOT A POINT THERE.
LET'S GET THE BAND TO REHEARSE.
MAYBE THEN WE CAN TELL WHAT'S MISSING AND FIGURE OUT THE BEAST'S PATTERN!
<Matt> COME ON!
<Matt> OH MAN, IT SOUNDS WORSE THAN BEFORE!
<Jackie> THEY'RE PLAYING THEIR PARTS THE WAY THEY TOLD US THEY DO.
<Inez> BUT SOMETHING'S DEFINITELY MISSING!
<Pin> OH, NO!
THE SUN IS SETTING!
<Pan> WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!
