Moana (2016) Quotes

Maui: 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 'cause you stole the heart of Te Fiti! And you will board my boat... and sail across the sea and put it back!

Maui: Um... Yeah, it almost sounded like you don't like me... which is impossible because... I got stuck here for 1,000 years... trying to get the heart as a gift for you mortals. So you could have the power to create life itself. Yeah. So, what I believe you were trying to say... is "thank you."

Moana: "Thank you?"

Maui: You're welcome.

Moana: What? No, no, no! I didn't... I wasn't... Why would I ever say that?

Maui (to Moana): Of course. Yes, yes, yes. Maui always has time for his fans. When you use a bird to write with... it's called tweeting.

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

Maui: Hero of men.

Moana: 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: I am Mo...

Maui: 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.

Gramma Tala: The ocean chose you. Follow the fish hook. And when you find Maui... you grab him by the 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: I can't leave you.

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

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

Moana: Gramma. Are you gonna tell Dad?

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

Moana:

Every turn I take

Every trail I track

Every path I make

Every road leads back

To the place I know

Where I cannot go

Sina (to Moana): Sometimes... who we wish we were, what we wish we could do... it's just not meant to be.

Old villager: I'm curious about that chicken eating the rock. He seems to lack the basic intelligence required for pretty much everything. Should we maybe just cook him?

Moana: Sometimes our strengths lie beneath the surface. (Heihei swalows the rock) Far beneath... in some cases. But I'm sure there's more to Heihei than meets the eye.

Moana: Mmm! That's good pork! (Pua hears it and is very sad) Oh! I didn't mean... I wasn't... What? They're calling me, so I gotta... Bye!

Chief Tui: You are the future of our people, Moana. And they are not out there. They are right here. It's time to be who they need you to be.

Gramma Tala (to Moana):

You are your father's daughter

Stubbornness and pride

Mind what he says but remember

You may hear a voice inside

And if the voice starts to whisper

To follow the farthest star

Moana, that voice inside

is who you are

Everyone:

The island gives us what we need

Moana:

And no one leaves

Chief Tui:

That's right, we stay

We're safe and we're well-provided

And when we look to the future

Everyone:

There you are

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 demigod of the wind and sea. He was a warrior. A trickster. A shapeshifter who could change form with the power of his magical fish hook. And his name... was Maui. But without her heart, Te Fiti began to crumble, giving birth to a terrible darkness. 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 fish hook and the heart of Te Fiti... were lost to the sea. Where, even now a 1,000 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! 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.
