King Hrothgar So you brought back the head of Grendel. What about the head of the mother?
With her dead and cold in the bog, is it not enough to return one monster's head?
King Hrothgar Did you kill her?
Would you like to hear the story of my struggle against this monstrous hag?
King Hrothgar She's no hag, Beowulf. We both know that. But answer me, did you kill her?
Would I have been able to escape her, had I not?
King Hrothgar 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.
