- Tamatoa: [Last lines, post-credits scene] Shiny I'm so shiny. Didn't help me though did it? Still upside down here. Just need a little push. Ugh. Can we be real? If my name was Sebastian and I had a cool Jamaican accent, you'd totally help me. You would. You know you would.
- [Moana, who is covered in sparkling seashells, is snatched up by Tamatoa]
- Tamatoa: [laughing] What have we here? It's a sparkly, shiny... Wait a minute.
- [Tosses Moana into the air, making her lose the seashells covering her]
- Tamatoa: Ugh! It's a human! What are you doing down here, in the Realm of the Mons-?
- [Tamatoa's eyes are twitching differently causing Moana to constantly look back and forth between them]
- Tamatoa: 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!
- [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.
- Maui: [Using Heihei's beak to sign Moana's oar] When you use a bird to write with, it's called tweeting.
- [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: 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.
- 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.
- 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: [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.
- [Maui has just double-crossed Moana by trapping her in a cave and stealing her boat and taking an eternally clueless Heihei with him]
- Maui: [to Heihei] And I'm going to love you in ma belly. Now, let's fatten you up, drumstick.
- [Maui puts some corn and seeds in front of Heihei]
- Maui: [Heihei pauses, and then pecks at a section of the raft floor that doesn't have any seeds or corn. Maui looks on in amazement and shock over Heihei's incredible stupidity]
- Maui: I wasn't born a demigod. I had human parents. They, uh... they took one look and decided... they did not want me. They threw me into the sea like I was... nothing. Somehow, I was found by the gods. They gave me the hook. They made me... Maui. And back to the humans I went. I gave them islands, fire, coconuts. Anything they could ever want.
- Moana: You took the Heart for them. You did everything for them... so they'd love you.
- Maui: [solemnly] It was never enough.
- [Moana crosses the boat, sits next to Maui]
- Moana: Maybe the gods found you for a reason. Maybe the ocean brought you to them because it saw someone who was worthy of being saved. But the gods aren't the ones who make you Maui. You are.
- Moana: Are you okay? Maui?
- [Maui turns around, angrily glaring at his cracked hook, purple lightning spark from the hook]
- Maui: [Coldly] I told you to turn back.
- Moana: I thought we could make it.
- Maui: "We"?
- Moana: I thought "I" could make it.
- [about Maui's hook]
- Moana: 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 a way around.
- Maui: I'm not going back.
- Moana: Wha...? 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: [Yelling] WITHOUT MY HOOK, I AM NOTHING!
- Moana: [Moana draws back in horror. Maui drops the heart, and Moana picks it back up] 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.
- Moana: I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat...
- Maui: Goodbye, Moana.
- Moana: ...sail across the seas...
- Maui: I'm not killing myself so you can prove you're something you're not.
- Moana: [on the verge of tears] ... and restore the heart of Te Fiti. The ocean chose me!
- Maui: [Coldly] It chose wrong.
- [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: [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: 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: [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.
- Tamatoa: Well, Tamatoa hasn't always been this glam. I was a drab little crab once. Now I know I can be happy as a clam, because I'm beautiful, baby!
- Tamatoa: I'd rather be shiny! Like the treasure from a sunken pirate wreck. Scrub the deck and make it look shiny! I will sparkle like a wealthy woman's neck. Chh! Just a sec. Don't ya know? Fish are dumb, dumb, dumb, they chase anything that glitters. Beginners, oh. And here they come, come, come to the brightest thing that glitters.
- [catches fish in his mouth]
- Tamatoa: Mmm, fish dinners! I just love free food, and you look like seafood.
- Tamatoa: Far from the ones who abandoned you chasing the love of these humans who made you feel wanted. You tried to be tough, but your armor's just not hard enough!
- Tamatoa: Well, well, well. Little Maui's having trouble with his look. You little semi-demi-mini god. Ouch! What a terrible performance, get the hook! Get it? You don't swing it like you used to, man! Yet I have to give you credit for my start, and your tattoos on the outside. For just like you, I made myself a work of art. I'll never hide. I can't!I'm too shiny!
- Maui: Hey! What has two thumbs and pulled up the sky, when you were waddling ye high? This guy! When the nights got cold, who stole you fire from down below? You're looking at him, yo! Oh! Also I lassoed the sun. You're welcome. To stretch your days and bring you fun. Also I harnessed the breeze. You're welcome! To fill your sails and shake your trees!
- Tamatoa: Watch me dazzle like a diamond in the rough. Strut my stuff, my stuff is so shiny! Send your armies, but they'll never be enough! My shell's too tough. Maui, man! You can try, try, try, but you can't expect a demigod to beat a decapod. Look it up! You will die, die, die! Now it's time for me to take apart your aching heart.
