Helen: Flee as quickly as possible, leaving this land. For you would die at the hands of the man whose house this is.
Menelaus: What thing have I done that is worthy of this disaster?
Helen: You have arrived unexpectedly, interrupting my marriage.
Menelaus: Wait, some guy wants to marry my wife?!
Hey, I've got a cold. I've got to stay amused somehow.
