Quotes

[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 : 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?
-
Moana : [singing] I have crossed the horizon to find you. / I know your name. / They have stolen the heart from inside you. / But this does not define you. / This is not who you are. / You know who you are... who you truly are.
-
Moana : Let her come to me.
-
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 : [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.
-
Gramma Tala : When I die, I'm going to come back as one of these.
[Manta Rays are dancing around her as she dances with the water]
Gramma Tala : Or I chose the wrong tattoo!
[a manta ray tattoo is on her back]
Moana : Why are you acting *weird*?
Gramma Tala : I'm the village crazy lady. That's my job.
-
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 : [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!
-
[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 friend 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 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.
-
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.
-
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 : [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 : [Gramma Tala has encouraged Moana to sneak out to the ocean on one of the boats that are lined up. Just before Moana can take action, Chief Tui catches Moana peeking at the boats from the bushes with Gramma] D-Dad! I was only *looking* at the boats! I *wasn't* gonna get on them.
-
Moana : [singing] I know the way / I am *Moana*!
-
Maui : [Moana has just taken off to fight off the kakamora and retrieve the heart, taking the oar with her] Hey! What am I gonna steer with?
[gets frustrated]
Maui : They're just gonna kill ya!
[Moana lands on the Kakamora boat. A large group of kakamora turn and look at her]
Moana : [smiles bravely] *Coconuts.*
[Moana kicks the kakamoras' butt with the oar]
-
Moana : We're alive! We're ali-- ahh!
Maui : Listen. I appreciate what you did down there.
Moana : Mmhmm. Mmhmm. Mmhmm. Mmhmm.
Maui : Took guts. But... I'm sorry. I'm tryin' to be sincere for once, and it feels like you're distracted.
Moana : No! No, no way.
Maui : Really. 'Cause you're looking at me like I have a...
[sighs]
Maui : shark head.
Moana : Whaaaaat? Do you have a shark head, cause I...
Maui : Look. The point is... For a little girl... child... thing... whatever... who had no business being down there... You did me a solid. But you also almost died. And I couldn't even beat the dumb crab. So chances of beating Te Ka: bupkis. We're never making it to Te Fiti. This mission is cursed.
Moana : It's not cursed.
Maui : Shark head.
Moana : It's not... cursed.
