And Odysseus does his best job playacting and says, Untie me.

Unstrap me.

Tell them to unstrap me.

Untie me.

And then Odysseus says, I see that you can get it.

You tie me to the mast, and I'm going to beg and plead.

If you do that tomorrow, I'll be dead, you'll be dead, every single one of the men will be dead.
