Kate Mulgrew: Anastasia Renard, Titania

Quotes 

• Owen Burnett : And may I present Fox's mother, Anastaia Renard.

  Anastasia Renard : It's no longer Renard, I have remarried.

  Halcyon Renard : Remarried? When? Who?

  Anastasia Renard : My first husband.

  Owen Burnett : [Hastily leaving]  I -I have some things to attend to, elsewhere. Excuse me.

• Anastia Renard : [to the Petros Xanatos and Halcyon Renard]  Okay you two. You can see them later. Fox needs her rest.

  [the grandfather leave] 

  Anastia Renard : I'll keep the baby while you sleep.

  David Xanatos : NO! That's not necessary. We have a nurse.

  Anastia Renard : But David, I'm his grandmother.

  David Xanatos : And you must be tired from your trip here.

  Fox : What's going on?

  Oberon : [Entering]  Yes, what exactly *is* going on?

• Anastasia Renard : I am gathering even now.

  Oberon : We discussed this, my dear. It is my law that we not directly interfere in human affairs. Let the woman keep her child.

  Fox : "Keep my child?" Mother, who is this guy?

  Oberon : *Mother*?

  [laughs] 

  Oberon : . Titania, what have you been up to?

  Fox : Who is Titania? Mother, explain yourself!

  David Xanatos : This should prove interesting.

  Oberon : More interesting than you know. It is time to drop this facade my Queen.

• Titania : [Speaking of the baby]  He has magic in him. I would not see it die as did his mother's. It must be encouraged, nurtured.

  Fox : This is ridiculous! My son will be nurtured right here! With his father and me!

  Titania : No Fox! The boy must be taken to Avalon where he can be properly trained in his mystical heiritage,

  [facing Oberon] 

  Titania : if, of course, you allow it, my lord.

  Oberon : As I see it, Fox has turned out to be regrettably human. And thus we cannot interfer in her life. However the baby is still of our blood and if it pleases you to take him, you have my permission.

  Fox : NO! You can't have him!

  David Xanatos : It's all right. No one is taking our son anywhere. Taking a child from his parents is the epitome of interfering with human affairs. By your own law, you cannot allow it.

  Oberon : I have made up my mind.

  Fox : Too bad for you!

• Titania : The child belong with us in Avalon. But I fear my daughter will no co-operate. I seek your help in protecting both mother and child during the imminent battle.

  Goliath : Experience has taught me that *nothing* should come between a parent and child, not even if that child is Xanatos's!

  Titania : Have you forgotten how I helped your clan on Avalon?

  Goliath : No. But it does not justify what you are about to do.

  Titania : So you will not help, but neither will you interfere. Or Oberon will crush you with a though!
