Grendel's Mother:
Are you the one they call Beowulf? Such a strong man you are. A man like you could own the greatest tale ever sung. Beowulf... Stay with me. Give me a son, and I shall make you the greatest king that ever lived. This... I swear...

King Hrothgar:
She's not my curse, not anymore.
Beowulf:
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!
Wealthow:
There have been many a brave soldier come to taste my husband's mead.

Beowulf:
What do you know of me... Demon?

Wiglaf:
Do you want me to go in with you?
[
Beowulf and Wiglaf look at each other]
Wiglaf:
Good.
Beowulf:
They say you have a monster here. They say your lands are cursed. I am Beowulf and I'm here to kill your monster.
Beowulf:
If we die... it will be for GLORY, not gold.
Beowulf:
The time of heroes is dead: the christ god has killed it, leaving nothing but weeping martyrs and fear and shame.
Beowulf:
The sea is my mother! She would never take me back to her murky womb!

last lines]
Wiglaf:
He was the bravest of us. He was the prince of all warriors. His name will live forever.
Wealthow:
His song shall be sung forever.

first lines]
King Hrothgar:
I want mead! Give me some mead, my queen!
Beowulf:
Keep a memory of me, not as a king or a hero; but as a man: fallible and flawed.
Beowulf:
It's no Earthly storm, that much is for sure. But this demon's tempest will not hold us out if we really want in!
Hondshew:
[
to Yrsa] Come on, my mighty lust limb can transport you to paradise, to ecstacy and back. No other man will ever be able to satisfy you again.
Wiglaf:
[
stabbing at Grendels crotch] I swear, the bastard has no pintel!
Unferth:
Good night, Beowulf. Watch out for sea monsters. I'm sure your imagination must be teeming with them.
Yrsa:
They say he ripped the monster's limb off with his bare hands.
Gitte:
[
giggles] I wonder if Beowulf's strength is only in his arms, or in his legs as well... all three of them
[
both giggle]
Wealthow:
Well, after the feast tonight I'm sure you can find out, Gitte.
Gitte:
Me? It's not me he wants, my queen.
Wiglaf:
[
seeing the dragon for the first time] Odin's swifan balls!
Beowulf:
[
to Frisian] In a way you can't kill me, my friend, 'cause I died many, many years ago when I was young.
Beowulf:
[
holding on to the dragon's back with his sword] I'll have your lizard head on a spike!
Beowulf:
Give him a gold piece and send him home. He has a story to tell.
King Hrothgar:
[
referring to the Royal Dragon Horn, but looking at his Queen] I wonder how many men have died for love of her beauty.
Beowulf:
Can you blame them?
King Hrothgar:
If you destroy my Grendel for me, she'll be yours forever and ever and ever.
Beowulf:
[
takes the horn in his hands] You do me great honor.
Wealthow:
[
asuming they are talking about her] It is we who are honored.
Beowulf:
How many monsters must I slay? Grendel's mother, father, Grende's uncle? Must I hack down a whole family tree of demons?
King Hrothgar:
She is the last of them. Whith her gone, demonkind will slip back into the darkness from whence it came.
Wiglaf:
And where it belongs.
Beowulf:
And the mother's mate? Where is Grendel's father?
King Hrothgar:
Grendel's father can do no harm to man.
King Hrothgar:
When I am gone, Beowulf, son of Edgethow, shall be king!
Beowulf:
You want your name in The Song of Beowulf? You think it sould end with me killed by some Frisian raider with no name?
Frisian Leader:
I'm Finn of Frisia and my name shall be remembered forever!
Beowulf:
Only if you kill me. Otherwise you're nothing.
