[00:38] Deme
    Let's begin designing the
    official logo of the Tolympics.
[00:42] Mayor
    Yes.
[00:43] Mayor
    It can be said that the ten-meter tall statue
[00:45] ---
    of Zeus at Olympia is the
    symbol of the Olympics.
[00:48] Mayor
    But we don't have the money
    to build something like that.
[00:52] Deme
    After all, it's made of ivory.
[00:54] Mayor
    Unbelievable. Haven't they heard
    of the Washington Convention?
[00:57] Mayor
    I haven't either.
[00:58] Deme
    In any case, it'd be nice
    to have some kind of symbol.
[01:02] Mayor
    That's where the logos and mascots
    you saw in Tokyopolis come in.

[01:07] Mayor
    We'll compete using those.
[01:08] Deme
    That's right. They're marvelous.
[01:11] Deme
    By making logos and mascots
    visible all over town,
[01:16] ---
    they'll generate excitement
    for the event, like it or not.

[01:26] Mayor
    Let's deal with the mascot later.
[01:29] Deme
    I agree.
[01:30] Deme
    First, let's come up with a logo.
[01:33] Deme
    We can work off of a simple shape that
    can serve as the base of the logo.
[01:37] Mayor
    A circle, huh? Looks like money. I like it.
[01:39] Deme
    I feel like just this might be good enough.
[01:42] Mayor
    How about adding more circles?
[01:44] Deme
    A logo's shape has to have meaning.
[01:48] Mayor
    Then let's draw as many circles as there
    are polis in the Peloponnese Peninsula.
[01:53] Deme
    That would be Achaea, Arcadia,
    Argolis, Corinth, Elis...
[01:59] Deme
    Laconia, and Messenia.
[02:03] Deme
    That's seven.
[02:04] Mayor
    There's something missing.
[02:07] Mayor
    Let's draw as many circles
    as there are Greek regions.
[02:10] Mayor
    After all, the Tolympics is a major event
    whose name will ring throughout Greece!
[02:15] Deme
    In that case, um...
[02:16] Deme
    In central Greece,
    there's Acarnania, Ioannina...
[02:21] Mayor
    And in the north there's Molossoi,
    Thessaly, Magnesia...
[02:25] Deme
    Then there's Macedonia...
[02:30] Deme
    It's not clear what it means.
[02:32] Mayor
    It makes me feel mentally unstable.
[02:35] Mayor
    Try drawing some other things.
    Come up with a hundred ideas.
[02:38] Deme
    All right...
[02:44] Deme
    None of them seem quite right.
[02:47] Mayor
    Why not use my face?
[02:50] Mayor
    The founder's face isn't a bad idea, right?
[02:52] Deme
    Your face all over town...
[02:55] Deme
    Good idea. It'll look like hell.
[02:57] Mayor
    Just draw it, ten times handsomer than me.
[03:00] Deme
    Got it.
[03:01] Deme
    Let's see. The mayor's face...
[03:04] Deme
    But this doesn't communicate
    that it's a sports event.
[03:08] Deme
    It's only conveys greed for money and honor.
[03:12] Mayor
    Then try adding some running legs.
[03:14] Mayor
    Go all out and give it three.
[03:16] Deme
    This is surprisingly... not bad.
[03:19] Mayor
    I wish it had a little more punch.
[03:21] Mayor
    I feel like this is probably
    too similar to something else.
[03:24] Deme
    How about a dolphin?
[03:25] Deme
    It could be perfect for a
    seaside town like Tortonia.
[03:28] Mayor
    Try adding it.
[03:31] Deme
    Shall we add Tortonia's famous fruits
    of the sea and the champion's cup?
[03:35] Mayor
    Keep adding more.
[03:38] Deme
    This turned out really sinister-looking.
[03:40] Mayor
    Since we're running out of time,
    I guess we'll go with this.
[03:46] Deme
    My drawing!
[03:54] Deme
    Well... I guess this will do.
[03:58] Deme
    The Tolympics are open!

[04:07] [SONG] ---
    Suppose you have one pillar
[04:10] [SONG] ---
    Is it a stone column? It's not a stone column, it's an herma
[04:17] [SONG] ---
    A face has been carved into the top of the pillar
[04:20] [SONG] ---
    Is it a stone statue? It's not a stone statue, it's an herma
[04:27] [SONG] ---
    Beneath the face some male genitalia have been carved
[04:31] [SONG] ---
    Is it a work in progress? It's not a work in progress, it is complete!
[04:37] [SONG] ---
    Sparkly sparkly penis, sparkly penis
[04:40] [SONG] ---
    Why does it shine so much?
[04:44] [SONG] ---
    Become everyone comes together to touch it
[04:48] [SONG] ---
    Because they pray for happiness and touch it
[04:52] [SONG] ---
    For breaking it, the punishment is death!
