Faithful to the promise he made to Astrée to never appear before her again, Céladon must overcome many obstacles to break the curse.

Plot: Virgil Travis is a wealthy, soulless psychopath who lives in seclusion in his mansion home with his dwarf butler and maniac right hand man. Tortured and forcibly mutated as a child by a woman who put him through body transforming procedures, Virgil has an abnormally sized head. Basking in the suffering, degradation, pain, and death of others, Virgil has already killed, and kidnapped a female rock group that he keeps imprisoned in his basement to help satisfy his constant need for perverse amusement. Never satisfied, though, Virgil decides that he will once again try to fill the emptiness that exists within him, and so creates a trio of deformed, living dolls to systematically murder any and all people who have ever wronged him. What Virgil doesn't anticipate, though, is meeting his match and finding love, both of which come in the form of a woman who is even more evil and twisted than he is.

Quotes:

Cindy Agami: [looking at Pimp Doll] My, how racist.::Virgil Travis: It's surprising how even rudeness can be pleasant coming from an attractive woman. I am, of course, racist, but an equal opportunity one. [shows off the Sideshow doll]

Virgil Travis: Have you ever lost a billion dollars due to the ineptitude of a pair of over-priced shysters? Please don't answer, it's a rhetorical question.::Cindy Agami: That's not at all fair.::Virgil Travis: Indeed. Well, no one ever claimed that life was fair. And certainly no one ever claimed that I was.

Hylas: Play! Play number seven, you bitches!

Harrison Yulin: Goddamn, I'll drink to that all right. Drink to myself. Mmm-hmm.

Virgil Travis: Secrets are best kept in the grave, and Mister Yulin may keep his there. Along with the other two. And with the able assistance of my new creations, and your's as well, Mister Mascaro... I shall have my cookie after all.

Harrison Yulin: Travis may be a bit eccentric, but shoot, do you really think he'd go and, hmm, murder people?::Moira Yulin: Why not? We've had people murdered.::Harrison Yulin: What? Huh. We have? Who?

George Warbeck: What the hell's going on, Squires? The power's down.::Squires: Yes, sir, we're checking it out right now to confirm ...::George Warbeck: Confirm my spotty dick!

George Warbeck: What the hell's the story, Squires? I'm still in the fucking stone age down here.::Squires: The electrician's here now, sir. I'm currently doing a room sweep to confirm our integrity.::George Warbeck: Oh, confirm my hairy ass!

Mr. Mascaro: [strangling security guard] Two kinds of people I know about, little man - The kind that piss their pants when you kill them, and the kind that don't. Now, which kind do you think you are? [guard dies, Mascaro looks down at the body] Pisser.

Mr. Mascaro: [putting his clown makeup back on after being "in disguise" without it] It's good to get out of that costume.

Quotes:

Zeus: For the moment, let them enjoy a calm sea, a fresh breeze and each other. The girl is pretty and I am always sentimental. But for Jason, there are other adventures. I have not finished with Jason. Let us continue the game another day.

Zeus: If I had to punish *every* blasphemy, I would have *no followers*!

Zeus: The gods are best served by those who need their help the *least*.

Phineas: Zeus, I was a sinner. I've never tried to deny it. But I didn't sin every day. Why then do you punish me *every day*?

Phineas: Go ahead, Zeus. Throw down a thunderbolt, let the earth swallow me up. I defy you!::[Loud crash of thunder]::Phineas: You can growl away all you like, Zeus. I mean what I say.

Hera: [asked why the gods set temptations and traps for mortals] So that the gods may know them, and men may know themselves.

Jason: Now the voyage is over, I don't want any trouble to begin::Polydeuces: There won't be any trouble, Jason. Just tell us where the city is and when we attack.::Jason: We don't attack.::Polydeuces: But that's foolish, you have the finest fighting men in the world.::Jason: 40 fighting men against a nation?::Phalerus: Better forty than one Jason.::Jason: We're not *pirates*, Phalerus.::Acastus: What's that girl done to you? We thought you were a fighting man.::Jason: I'm going up alone in the morning. See what the situation is.::Polydeuces: Oh, you mean spy out the land. Well, why alone? Why not take a few of us scouting.::Jason: The fewer who go, the less can get caught. Now what's the fewest you can think of?::Polydeuces: One, of course.::Jason: Right. I accept your advice.

Zeus: Hera my dear, You really *must* learn to win without cheating... or to at least lose *gracefully*.

Argos: Pray to the gods, Jason!::Jason: The gods of Greece are cruel! In time, all men shall learn to live without them.
