Would you like to hear the story of my struggle against this monstrous hag?
Beowulf
She's no hag, Beowulf. We both know that. But answer me, did you kill her?
King Hrothgar
Would I have been able to escape her, had I not?
Beowulf
Grendel is dead. That's all that matter to me. He can bother me no more. The mother, the hag... She's not my curse, not anymore. Not anymore.
King Hrothgar
I am Ripper... Tearer... Slasher... Gouger. I am the Teeth in the Darkness, the Talons in the Night. Mine is Strength... and Lust... and Power! I AM BEOWULF!
Beowulf
There have been many a brave soldier come to taste my husband's mead.
Wealthow
They say you have a monster here. They say your lands are cursed.
Beowulf
Bards sing of Hrothgar's shame from the frozen north to the shores of Vinland.
Wiglaf
There's no shame to be accursed by demons.
Soldier
I am Beowulf and I'm here to kill your monster.
Beowulf
If we die... it will be for GLORY, not gold.
Beowulf
Your legend is known from the high seas and the snow barriers to the Great Island Kingdom - you are the Monster Slayer.
Wiglaf
We men are the monsters now. The time of heroes is dead, Wiglaf - the Christ God has killed it, leaving humankind with nothing but weeping martyrs, fear, and shame.
Beowulf
The sea is my mother! She would never take me back to her murky womb!
Beowulf
He was the bravest of us. He was the prince of all warriors. His name will live forever.
Wiglaf
