The suitors were lined up to see Penelope, each one of them carrying a present for her. Discus Stu cut to the front of the line and said, "Discus Stu has ouzo for two-zo", referring to the alcoholic drink he had brought with him. Penelope's son Telemachus, pleased at the prospect of his mother having a date, said he would leave the two of them alone. Discus Stu then gestured at Telemachus and said, "Discus Stu was talking to you!" which elicited a shudder from Telemachus.
