Moana (2016) - Quotes

Maui: Wh-what are you doing?!

Moana: Finding you a better way.

Maui: [looks at the way through is blocked; worried] We won't make it!

Moana: Yes, we will!

Maui: Turn around!

Moana: NO!

Maui: Moana, stop!

Moana: NO!

Moana: [Maui doesn't respond] Are you okay? Maui?

Maui: [glowering at his cracked hook; upset] I told you to turn back.

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: [shouts] WITHOUT MY HOOK, I AM NOTHING!!!

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

Maui: [briefly looks down in guiltily] No, we're here because the ocean told you you’re special and you believed it.

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

Maui: Goodbye, Moana.

Moana: [voice cracked] Sail across the sea...

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: [Maui tries to transform, but his hook crackles and shocks him; He transforms himself into a hawk and flies away] It chose wrong. Ugh! Stupid hook.

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

Moana: No!

Maui: [Tamatoa gasps and drops Moana on the ground] Hey, crab cake! I'm back! It’s Maui time!

Tamatoa: [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] 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?

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

Tamatoa: [mimicking Moana; Normal voice] That's my grandma's... I ate my grandma! And it took a week cause she was absolutely humongous. Why are you here?

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: Teach me to sail!

Maui: Pfft.

Moana: [she nearly falls over, but catches herself] My job is to deliver Maui across the great ocean. I should– I should be sailing.

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

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

Maui: [groans; Moana reaches for a line.] Pull the sheet. Not the sheet.

Maui: [from trailer; to Mini Maui tattoo] 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.

Maui: [grabs Moana's boat; sees Moana, screams] Boat! A boat! The Gods have given me a-

Moana: [clears throat] Maui, shapeshifter, demigod of the wind and sea. I am Moana of–

Maui: Hero of men.

Moana: [confused] W-what?

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: [beat] I am Moana of–

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: [pointing at Maui with her oar] What? No! I'm here to–

Maui: [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.] 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.

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!

Moana: We were voyagers I can voyage again.

Moana: [Chief Tui grabs the torch] You told me to help our people! This is how we can help our people! Dad? What are you doing?

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: [angrily snatches Te Fiti's heart] There is no heart! This? THIS IS JUST A ROCKS!

Moana: Dad! No!

The Villager: [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! It's your mother!

Chief Tui: [shocked; sighs and turns to the doctor] Mother! What can be done?

The female doctor: I don't know.

Gramma Tala: [weakly] Go.

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

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: [continues] 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!

Moana: [tearing up more] I can't leave you.

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

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: [to Gramma Tala] ...Why are you acting weird?

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?

Gramma Tala: Whatever just happened, blame it on the pig.

Moana: Are you gonna tell dad?

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

Chief Tui: NO ONE goes beyond the REEF!

Maui: [to Mini-Maui; Moana lands on him, bounces off of him and tumbles down a cliff] No mortal's gonna jump into the Realm of-- Well, she's dead.

Maui: You're welcome!

Maui: [holding HeiHei by the neck] Boatsnack!

Maui: If you start singing, I'm gonna throw up.

Maui: [offscreen] I am still falling!

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

Moana: You are not my hero, and I’m not here, so you could sign my oar!

Moana: I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti.

Moana: [Yelling at the Ocean; she kicks, but the Ocean recedes, causing her to fall on her back] WHAT?! I SAID "HELP ME!!" AND WREAKING MY BOAT?!! NOT HELPING!!! Fish pee in you ALL DAY! So... Mmmm!

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?
