Moana Quotes in

Moana: There is a stronger god.

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.

Tamatoa: Are you just trying to get me to talk about myself? Because if you are... I will gladly do so.

Moana: Huh?

Tamatoa: In *song* form!

[after Moana attempts to sail a boat for the first time and crashes it]

Moana: Are you gonna tell Dad?

Gramma Tala: I'm his mom. I don't have to tell him anything.

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!

Moana: If there's something you want to tell me, just tell me! Is there something you wanna tell me?

[Gramma Tala looks back at Moana, smirking]

Gramma Tala: Is there something you want to hear?

Tamatoa: You're a funny looking little thing aren't you.

[Tries to take Moana's necklace]

Moana: [snatches it back] Don't! That's my gramma's!

Tamatoa: [mockingly repeats] "That's my gramma's!" I ate my Gramma! And it took a week, 'cause she was absolutely humongous.

Moana: Let her come to me.

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?

Moana: Why are you acting weird?

Gramma Tala: I'm the village crazy lady. That's my job.

Moana: [tasting a bit of meat given to her] Mmm! That is good pork!

[Pua, Moana's pet pig gives her a "sad puppy eyes" look]

Moana: Oh! I didn't mean... no, I wasn't... What? They're calling me, so I gotta... Bye!

Moana: I have crossed the horizon to find you.

Moana: I know your name.

Moana: They have stolen the heart from inside you.

Moana: But this does not define you.

Moana: This is not who you are.

Moana: You know who you are... who you truly are.

[Moana has found that her pet rooster, Heihei, has stowed away on her boat. Heihei looks around to see that he surrounded by water, with no land in sight. He screams in fright]

Heihei: WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Moana puts a coconut shell on his head to stop him from screaming, he stops screaming. She lifts the shell again and Heihei continues to scream by the sight of the sea, only for Moana to put the coconut shell back on his head]

Moana: [slowly lifting the shell from Heihei's head] It's okay. You're all right. See? There we go. Nice water. The ocean is a fiend of mine.

[Moana puts a hand in the water. Heihei sees this and then jumps headfirst into the water, sinking completely. Alarmed, Moana gets down over the edge of the raft, looking around]

Moana: [concerned] Heihei?

[Heihei floats by, five feet away from the raft, his head under the water's surface with his legs sticking up in the air]

Moana: I know the way/ I am *Moana*!

Moana: [exhausted and collapsing at the rudder] I am Moana of Motu...

[starts to doze off and the ocean hits her and she wakes with a start]

Moana: Board my boat!

Moana: I tried Gramma... I, I couldn't do it

Gramma Tala: It's not your fault. I never should have put so much on your shoulders. If you are ready to go home... I will be with you

[as Moana prepares to row back home, she stops]

Gramma Tala: Why do you hesitate?

Moana: I don't know

Villager: [to Moana; about HeiHei, who is pecking at a huge rock in front of him. Pua is watching Heihei, looking concerned] I am curious about that chicken eating the rock. He basically lacks an intelligence required for pretty much... everything. So can we just...

[blinks coyly]

Villager: ...Cook him?

Moana: Well, some of our strengths lie beneath the surface, while others...

[Moana sees that Heihei has swallowed the stone, which is causing a bulge in his neck]

Moana: ...far beneath...

[hopefully]

Moana: But, I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to HeiHei than meets the eye.

[HeiHei squawks; he regurgitates the rock which plops right infront of him. HeiHei pauses, and then proceeds to pecking the rock, which he was doing earlier. Pua looks away, obviously disturbed]

Moana: [to Heihei] Te Ka can't follow us into the water. We make it past the barrier islands... we make it to Te Fiti. None of which you understand... because you are a chicken.

Moana: [Tamatoa is about to eat Maui] Hey!

Tamatoa: Huh?

Moana: [holding up what appears to be the Heart of Te Fiti] I've got something shiny for ya!

Tamatoa: [Tamatoa spits Maui out; awestrucked] The Heart of Te Fiti!

[Threatening]

Tamatoa: You cannot run from me!

[Moana takes off running]

Tamatoa: [Following after her; mock surprise] Oh, you *can* run from me! You keep surprising me!

Maui: [talking about his past] I wasn't born a demi-god. I had human parents. They took one look and they decided... that they did not want me. So, they threw me into the ocean like I was nothing. Somehow, I was rescued by the Gods. They gave me the fish hook. They made me...

[exaltant]

Maui: ..."Maui".

[talking normally]

Maui: So... Back to the humans I went. I gave them everything. Islands, fire and coconuts. Heh, everything they can never get enough of.

Moana: You stole the heart... for them. Because you wanted to be loved...

Maui: [solemnly] It was *never* enough.

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.

Moana: [Moana has just discovered that she was descended from voyagers; she runs out of the cave, screaming excitedly] We were voyagers! We were voyagers! We were voyagers!

[sits down besides Tala; calmly]

Moana: Why did we stop.

Gramma Tala: *Maui.* When Maui stole from the mother island, darkness fell, Te Ka awoke, Monsters lurked, fishing boats stopped coming back. To protect our people, the ancient chiefs buried our past to be forgotten. Years have past and we have forgotten who we are. And now, the darkness has spread, taking our fish, draining life from island... after island!

[Tala points a place on the island where there is a large patch of dead vegetation; Moana gasps]

Moana: [realizing] *Our* island!

Gramma Tala: [optimistically] But one day, someone will leave our island, journey across the ocean, find Maui...

[Tala opens her abalone locket and placing a jade green stone in Moana's hand; the Heart of Te Fiti]

Gramma Tala: ...And restore the Heart of Te Fiti! I was there that day... the Ocean had chosen you.

[Before their eyes, the ocean becomes animated and stretches over to look at the two women as music plays in the background]

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.
