Hrothgar: Beowulf, I just would like to thank you in advance for your help.

Beowulf: You are welcome Hrothgar.

Unferth: You are the same fool who fought a swimming match with Brecca?

Beowulf: Yes, I am the person, but I am not a fool.

Unferth: If you do not mind me asking, what was the point of it? I mean I find it quite risky and dangerous.

Beowulf: I really can say there was a reason. I was young and did not know what I was getting myself into. You are correct; it was risky and very dangerous.

Unferth: Since you lost, I came up with the conclusion that Brecca is better than you.

Beowulf: I am sorry to say Unferth, but your conclusion is wrong. Never will Brecca be better than me. We were right beside each other until the flood.

Unferth: Blame it on the water.

Beowulf: It was not only the waves, but I also had to save my life from a huge sea monster and I killed nine huge sea monsters....
