Moana

A Humorous Encounter with a Legendary Crab

Tamatoa Oohoo, hoo, hoo, hoo. What have we here? It's a sparkly, shiny... Wait a minute. Ugh...It's a human! What're you doing down here in the Realm of the Mons–? 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! You're a funny looking little thing, aren't you?

[tosses Moana into the air, making her lose the seashells covering her; Tamatoa's eyes are twitching, causing Moana to look back and forth between them]

Moana Don't! That's my grandma's!

Tamatoa That's my grandma's... I ate my grandma! And it took a week cause she was absolutely humongous. Why are you here?

[mimicking Moana; Normal voice]

Moana Cause you're amazing! And we mortals have heard of a tale of the crab, who became a legend! And I had to know... How you being so craboulous?

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

Moana

Maui's Declaration of Greatness

Maui D'you know who Maui is? Only the greatest demi-god in the Pacific Islands! With his magic fish-hook, he slowed down the sun! Pulled islands from the sea! Battled monsters! And I should know. Because I'm Maui. Nothin"? Really? What's a demigod gotta do?

[from trailer; improvises a haka; Moana and Pua watch in silence.]

Moana

Determination in the Face of Doubt

Maui Wh-what are you doing?!

Moana Finding you a better way.

Maui We won't make it!

[looks at the way through is blocked; worried]

Moana Yes, we will!

Maui Turn around!

Moana NO!

Maui Moana, stop!

Moana NO!

Moana Are you okay? Maui?

[Maui doesn't respond]

Maui I told you to turn back.

[glowering at his cracked hook; upset]

Moana I thought we could make it.

Maui We"?

Moana I thought... I could make it. 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 Kā 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 WITHOUT MY HOOK, I AM NOTHING!!!

[shouts]

Moana We're only here because you stole the heart in the first place!

Maui No, we're here because the ocean told you you’re special and you believed it.

[briefly looks down in guiltily]

Moana I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat...

Maui Goodbye, Moana.

Moana Sail across the sea...

[voice cracked]

Maui I'm not killin myself, so you can prove you’re something you're not!

Moana And restore the heart of Te Fiti! The ocean chose me!

Maui It chose wrong. Ugh! Stupid hook.

[Maui tries to transform, but his hook crackles and shocks him; He transforms himself into a hawk and flies away]

Moana Maui! Why did you bring me here? I'm not the right person. You have to choose someone else. Choose someone else! Please...

[Maui ignores her. She looks down in despair. A few moments later, the ocean rises up to look at her.; beat; holds out the heart of Te Fiti to the ocean; heartbroken]

A Defining Moment for Moana's Journey

Moana It’s time for me to put my stone on the mountain.

Gramma Tala Okay. Then, go back and put the stone there.

Moana Why don't you try to talk me out of it?

Gramma Tala You said that's what you want.

Moana Certain.

Gramma Tala When i die i will come back as one of them otherwise i chose the wrong tattoo.

Moana ...Why are you acting weird?

[to Gramma Tala]

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

Moana If there's something you want to tell me just tell me. Is there something you want to tell me?

Gramma Tala Is there something you want to hear?

Moana's Determination to Restore the Heart

Moana We were voyagers I can voyage again.

Moana You told me to help our people! This is how we can help our people! Dad? What are you doing?

[Chief Tui grabs the torch]

Chief Tui I should've burned those boats a long time ago!

Moana No! Don't! We have to find Maui. We have to restore the heart!

Chief Tui There is no heart! This? THIS IS JUST A ROCKS!

[angrily snatches Te Fiti's heart]

Moana Dad! No!

The Villager Chief! It's your mother!

[blowing a horn to call Chief Tui; Chief Tui and Moana gasp and run back to Tala's home where she is laid on her deathbed]

Chief Tui Mother! What can be done?

[shocked; sighs and turns to the doctor]

The female doctor I don't know.

Gramma Tala Go.

[weakly]

Moana Gramma?

[tears up; she leans closer to hear what Gramma Tala is saying]

Gramma Tala Go.

Moana Not now. I can't.

Gramma Tala You must! The ocean chose you. Follow the fish hook...

Moana Gramma.

Gramma Tala And when you find Maui, you grab him by his ear. You say, "I am Moana of Motunui! You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti!

[continues]

Moana I can't leave you.

[tearing up more]

Gramma Tala There is nowhere you could go where I won't be with you. Go.

Introduction of Characters and Their Roles

Maui Boat! A boat! The Gods have given me a-

[grabs Moana's boat; sees Moana, screams]

Moana Maui, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea. I am Moana of–

[clears throat]

Maui Hero of men.

Moana W-what?

[confused]

Maui It's actually "Maui, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea, hero of men". I interrupted. From the top. "Hero of men." Go.

Moana I am Moana of–

[beat]

Maui Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. "And women." "Men and women." Both. All. Not a "guy/girl" thing. You know, Maui is a hero to all. You're doing great.

Moana What? No! I'm here to–

[pointing at Maui with her oar]

Maui Oh! Of course! Of course! Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Maui always has time for his fans. When you use a bird to write with, it's called tweeting. I know. Not every day you get a chance to meet your hero.

[Maui takes Moana's oar, and pulls Heihei out of the sand. He uses Heihei's beak to sign the oar; throws Heihei over his shoulder and hands the oar back to Moana; Moana whacks Maui in the gut with her oar. Maui doubles over, and Moana grabs him by the ear.]

Moana You are not my hero, and I'm not here so you can sign my oar! I'm here because you stole the heart of Te Fiti... and you will board my boat... sail across the sea and put it back!

Maui Um... Yeah. That almost sounded like you don’t like me which is impossible because I got stuck here for a thousand years trying to get the heart as a gift for you mortals! So you can have the power to create life itself. Yeah. So, what I believe you are trying to say is thank you.

Moana Thank you"?

Maui You’re welcome!

Rediscovering Our Voyager Heritage

Moana We were voyagers... (realized) We were voyagers... (running in the hill) WE WERE VOYAGERS, WE WERE VOYAGERS, WE WERE VOYAGERS! (running back to her Gramma) why did we stop?

Maui's Bold Declaration of Greatness

Maui Do you know who Maui is? Only the greatest demi-god of all the Pacific Islands! With his magic fish hook, he slowed down the sun! Pulled islands out of the sea! Battled monsters! And I should know... because I'm Maui. Hey! Let me do this please.

Moana

The Art of Wayfinding at Sea

Moana Teach me to sail!

Maui Pfft.

Moana My job is to deliver Maui across the great ocean. I should– I should be sailing.

[she nearly falls over, but catches herself]

Maui It's called "wayfinding", princess. It's not just sails and knots, it's seeing where you're going in your mind. Knowing where you are by knowing where you've been.

Moana Okay, first, I'm 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. You are not a wayfinder. You will never be a wayfinder. You will never be a way... Really? Blow dart to my butt cheek? You are a bad person.

[the ocean sticks him with a blow dart and he collapses mid-sentence]

Moana If you can talk, you can teach. Wayfinding. Lesson one. Hit it.

Maui Pull the sheet. Not the sheet.

[groans; Moana reaches for a line.]

Maui's Perspective on Mortality and Risk

Maui No mortal's gonna jump into the Realm of-- Well, she's dead.
