You allowed all of us to mourn Triton's death! You deny us our dignity when you lie! But it's your duty as my husband, to be honest to me in all things. To make me your partner! When you make a decision like this, when you sideline me, it's insulting! This time away, on Earth, it allowed me to step back and take a look at things, to see how people perceived me, us! And I love you and that's never changing, but I'm not going to be just your interpreter. I need to have a say in the things that affect our people, our lives. I am the Queen and we move together or not at all. Tell me, what is the plan?

Medusa

Medusa: We thought you were dead!
Triton: I was wounded in the attack, but we set a meeting place in advanced, should anything go wrong. Our king felt it be best that Maximus believed that his plan was working.

Maximus: This isn't how I imagined it.
Declan: Sorry?
Maximus: Before, when we went through it the first time, my family was here. My mother, my father, my...brother.
We were surrounded by people who loved us. That feels like a very, very long time ago. I wanted this to be a victory.
Declan: It is. It is, that you said, the first of a new generation.

Alone at last. Brother against brother. It's not like you hide in the dark. But I guess times changed and us along with it. [laughs] There's something that you might want to hear! Once I realized that you were likely to attack, I enacted a fail-safe, if I die...all of Attilan dies with me! I enacted a measure that will destroy our protective dome. After that happens, it will only be a few seconds until our world is turned into space debris. And since I'm the only one who knows how to keep this from happening, it might be wise to keep me alive...or not. It’s your choice.
