This is an actual replica of an artist's interpretation of what some random guy of no significance believed that the chariot of Asparagus might have looked like. And this is Asparagus, the greatest warrior in all of Greece. With this golden chariot, he would win every race. And here he is defeating the Minotaur, a creature that's half-man, half-bull. Asparagus defeated him using the head of Medusa, a creature so ugly she could turn people to stone with just one look. Eric Braeden: Kind of reminds me of Gina. Gina Tognoni: It does not look like me! Eric Braeden: I know what we're gonna do today. We're gonna have our own chariot race like... Hey, where's Perry? Joseph Mascolo: (Disguised as Discobolos) Psst. Psst! Agent P, over here. Sorry to disturb you at the museum. We've just been informed that Doofenshmirtz has created a machine to rid the world of platypuses. ...Uh, platypi? Platypeople? Whatever. We've tracked Doofenshmirtz to the old abandoned movie house. So get going, and don't look up my skirt. Eric Braeden: Okay, the race will start here at home, through the streets of Danville, and over to the park. From there we make our way past Paul Bunyan's Pancake Haus... ♪ Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaul Bunyan's, where food is good ♪ Announcer 2: But not too good, eh? Eric Braeden: ...and finish at the steps of the museum. Ronn Moss: Hey, boys, whatcha doin'? Eric Braeden: Just mapping out our route for the big chariot race we're gonna have. Ronn Moss: Oh, excellent. It's good to see you boys taking an interest in Greek mythology. I'm doing the same. I've got over 12 hours of gladiator movies here I wanna watch. Melody Thomas Scott: Nice hat, Mr. Moss. Ronn Moss: Thank you, Melody. It's my movie watching hat. Eric Braeden: Melody, we're gonna have the greatest race in history, complete with helmets and armor and super-cool chariots with horses. Spread the word! Spread the word! Melody Thomas Scott: Wait! At what time? Eric Braeden: In about an hour or so. Melody Thomas Scott: Where's it gonna be? Eric Braeden: Here! Melody Thomas Scott: Who am I telling again? Eric Braeden: Just spread the word!

Wait, it's coming loose. I think I can get it off. Mark Lawson: The enemy of the platypus is man. Michael Sabatino: Ooh. Oh, well, now it's stuck. (screams) Somebody help me! Mark Lawson: Secretly, I'm very lonely. Gina Tognoni: Just wait until Mom finds out about this. Eric Braeden: Gina, looks like we owe you a big thanks for defeating the Minotaur. Who knew you had the power to turn men to stone? Gina Tognoni: That is so not true. Who ever heard of something as silly as turning someone to stone...? No, no, it can't be. (Screams) I did it again. Don't look at me! (Screams) I'm a monster! (Screams) Make it stop! (Screams)
