There have been many a brave men come to taste my lord's mead. And who have promissed to rid us of our night-man. But in the morning, there was nothing left but blood to be cleaned from the floor... and the benches... and the walls.

Wiglaf

Do you want me to go in with you? [Beowulf and Wiglaf look at each other]

Wiglaf

Good.

Grendel's Mother: I see you brought me treasure.

Beowulf
[To Grendel's Mother]

Show yourself! What are you?
Grendel's Mother: Are you the one they call Beowulf? The Bee-Wolf. The bear. Such a strong man you are with the strength of a king. The king you will one day become.

Beowulf

What do you know of me, demon?
Grendel's Mother: I know that underneath your glamor you're as much a monster as my son, Grendel.

Beowulf

My glamor!
Grendel's Mother: One needs glamor to become a king. A man like you could own the greatest tale ever sung. Your story would live on when everything now alive is dust. Beowulf... It has been a long time since a man has come to visit me.

Beowulf

I need no sword to kill you.
Grendel's Mother: Of course you don't my love. You took a song from me. Give me a son, brave thane. Stay with me. Love me... Love me... and I shall weave you riches... beyond imagination. I shall make you the greatest king that ever lived. As long as you hold me in your heart... and this golden horn remains in my keeping... You will forever be King. Forever strong, might... and all-powerful. This I promise. This... I swear...

King Hrothgar

So you brought back the head of Grendel. What about the head of the mother?

Beowulf

With her dead and cold in the bog, is it not enough to return one monster's head?

King Hrothgar

Did you kill her?

Beowulf

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?

Beowulf

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.
