Moana: Okay, first, I am not a princess. I'm the daughter of the chief.
Maui: Same difference.
Moana: No.
Maui: If you wear a dress, and have an animal sidekick, you're a princess.
[Moana, who is covered in sparkling seashells, is snatched up by Tamatoa]
Tamatoa: [laughing] What have we here? It's a sparkly, shiny... Wait a minute.
[Tosses Moana into the air, making her lose the seashells covering her]
Tamatoa: Ugh! It's a human! What are you doing down here, in the Realm of the Mons-?
[Tamatoa's eyes are
twitching differently causing Moana to constantly look back and forth between them]
Tamatoa: Just pick an eye, babe. I can't... I can't concentrate on what I'm saying if you keep... Yeah, pick one. Pick one!
Moana: [addressing the ocean] Um... *what*? I said help me! And wrecking my boat? Not *helping*!
[She kicks at the water, which recedes, causing her to fall]
Moana: Fish pee in you... all day!
Maui: [lying face-down on a canoe's outrigger] If the current's warm, you're going the right way.
Moana: [putting her hand in the water behind him] It's cold. Wait, it's getting warmer.
[seeing a relieved look on his face]
Moana: Aah! That is disgusting! What is wrong with you?
[first lines]
Gramma Tala: In the beginning there was only ocean until the Mother Island emerged. Te Fiti. Her heart held the greatest power ever known. It could create life itself. And Te Fiti shared it with the world. But in time, some began to seek Te Fiti's heart. They believed if they could possess it, the great power of creation would be theirs. And one day, the most
daring of them all voyaged across the vast ocean to take it. He was a demi-god of the wind and sea. He was a warrior. A trickster. A shapeshifter who could change form with the power of his magical fishhook. And his name was Maui.
[Maui takes the Heart of Te Fiti, causing the island to crumble as he runs away]
Gramma Tala: But without her heart, Te Fiti began to
crumble, giving birth to a terrible darkness.
[Maui jumps off a cliff and shapeshifts into a hawk, flying back to his boat]
Gramma Tala: Maui tried to escape but was confronted by another who sought the Heart. Te Ka! A demon of earth and fire. Maui was struck from the sky, never to be seen again. And his magical fishhook and the Heart of Te Fiti were lost to the sea.
Where, even now, a thousand years later, Te Ka and the demons of the deep still hunt for the Heart. Hiding in a darkness that will continue to spread, chasing away our fish, draining the life from island after island until every one of us is devoured by the bloodthirsty jaws of inescapable death!
[one child screams in fear while another faints as Moana claps]
Gramma
Tala: But one day, the Heart will be found by someone who will journey beyond our reef, find Maui, deliver him across the great ocean to restore Te Fiti's Heart and save us all.
Moana: If there's something you want to tell me, just tell me! Is there something you want to tell me?
[Gramma Tala looks back at Moana, smirking]
Gramma Tala: Is there something you want to hear?
[Maui has just double-crossed Moana by trapping her in a cave and stealing her boat and taking an eternally clueless Heihei with him]
Maui: [to Heihei] And I'm going to love you in ma belly. Now, let's fatten you up, drumstick.
[Maui puts some corn and seeds in front of Heihei]
Maui: [Heihei pauses, and then pecks at a section of the raft
floor that doesn't have any seeds or corn. Maui looks on in amazement and shock over Heihei's incredible stupidity]
Moana: [Notices a tattoo of a character with flowing hair throwing a baby into the ocean on Maui's back] How do you get your tattoos?
Maui: They show up, when I earn 'em.
Moana: How d'you earn that one? What's that for?
Maui: That, uh, man's discovery of nun-ya.
Moana: What's nun-ya?
Maui: Nun-ya business.
