Maui Quotes

[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: [on Maui's damaged fish hook] We can fix it.
Maui: It was made by the gods. You can't fix it!
Moana: Next time, we'll be more careful. Te Ka was stuck on the barrier islands. It's lava. It can't go in the water. We can find another way around.
Maui: I'm not going back.
Moana:

What? We still have to restore the heart.
Maui: My hook is cracked. One more hit and it's over.
Moana: Maui, you have to restore the heart!
Maui: Without my hook, I am nothing.
Moana: That's not true...
Maui: [shouting] WITHOUT MY HOOK, I AM *NOTHING*!
[Moana draws back in

shock. Maui drops the heart into Moana's boat, and Moana picks it back up]
Moana: We're only here 'cause you stole the heart in the first place.
Maui: No. We're here because the ocean told you you were special and you believed it.
Moana: [gathering resolve] I am Moana of Motonui. You will board my boat...

Maui: Goodbye, Moana.
Moana: ...sail across the sea...
Maui: I'm not killing myself so you can prove something you're not.
Moana: ...and restore the heart of Te Fiti. The ocean chose me!
Maui: [bitterly] It chose wrong.
