Quotes 

• Medusa : How long until you have to return to the scanner?

  Maximus : That's for me to know.

  Medusa : Must be close to an hour by now. Are you willing to die?

  Maximus : I can terminate the destruction plan anytime I like. But it will be when I have successfully rounded up our family.

  Medusa : I *am* your family. And look at me. Look at what you have done to me. Does it make you feel good to see me this way?

  Maximus : Now you are more like me. Almost human. Now you know how it feels when people stare at you, dismiss you. Like you did to me... so long ago.

  Medusa : You're right. I did treat you like everyone else. I ignored you. I put our friendship behind us. And maybe if I had been a better friend, we wouldn't be here. But here we are.

  Maximus : You were my only friend. I had no one.

  Medusa : Which is why... maybe you wanted to *be* someone.

  Maximus : King.

  Medusa : The fill the emptiness inside, but that is not a stable foundation for leadership. If you truly care about Attilan, you would - you would never destroy it!

• Medusa : Many of you know the story of my parents, who had a different vision for the future of Attilan, one of tearing down the walls of class that divide us, a vision that might seem to be shared by Maximis. But in truth, he is willing to endanger you all to achieve his selfish needs. Maximus has forced us into an era of change. But we would like to continue it in a more positive direction. But that next chapter will not be here. Because Maximus has compromised the protective shield that surrounds our home. We can no longer stay on the Moon. It is time for us to return to our homeland - to Earth. And Black Bolt and I will lead the way.

  Maximus : She's lying. Every word she says is a lie.

  Medusa : Because how can you trust a leader who puts his needs before yours?

  Maximus : The people will never follow you!

  Medusa : Black Bolt and I will ensure that the people of Attilan will survive on Earth.

  Maximus : Attilan is mine, not yours.

  Auran : It's *ours*.

  Maximus : If I can't have Attilan, no one will. I will let the dome collapse and suck the life out of every one of you!
