O'Brother Where Art Thou

Choose one of the following quotes from the movie and then, in a comment, explain what, if anything, it has to do with the Odyssey. Please refer directly to the text if possible.

1. Delmar: [As George "Babyface" Nelson fires his tommy gun into a herd of cattle] Oh, George. Not the livestock!

2. Everett: The treasure is still there boys, believe me.

Delmar: [about the Blind Seer] But how'd he know about the treasure?

Everett: I don't know Delmar. The blind are reputed to possess sensitivities compensating for their lack of sight, even to the point of developing paranormal psychic powers. Now, clearly seeing into the future would fall neatly into that category; it's not so surprising then that an organism deprived of its earthly vision...

Pete: He said we wouldn't get it. He said we wouldn't get the treasure we seek on account of our ob-stac-les.

3. Ulysses Everett McGill: Me an' the old lady are gonna pick up the pieces and retie the knot, mixaphorically speaking.

4. Penny Wharvey McGill: Vernon here's got a job. Vernon's got prospects. He's bona fide. What are you?

5. Blind Seer: You seek a great fortune, you three who are now in chains. You will find a fortune, though it will not be the one you seek. But first... first you must travel a long and difficult road, a road fraught with peril. Mm-hmm. You shall see thangs, wonderful to tell. You shall see a... a cow... on the roof of a cotton house, ha. And, oh, so many startlements. I cannot tell you how long this road shall be, but fear not the obstacles in your path, for fate has vouchsafed your reward. Though the road may wind, yea, your hearts grow weary, still shall ye follow them, even unto your salvation.

6. Pete [to Evertt]: Since we been followin' your lead, we ain't got nothing but trouble.
