Maui
- Maui: [Using Heihei's beak to sign Moana's oar] When you use a bird to write with, it's called tweeting.
- 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.
- [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.
- 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!
- Maui: Well, come to think of it. Kid, honestly, I could go on and on. I could explain every natural phenomenon. The tide, the grass, the ground? Oh, that was Maui just messing around! I killed an eel, I buried its guts. Sprouted a tree, now you got coconuts! What's the lesson, what is the takeaway? Don't mess with Maui when he's on the breakaway! And the tapestry here on my skin, is a map of the victories I win. Look where I've been, I make everything happen! Look at that mini-me Maui ta-tickety-tappin! Hahahahahaha hey!
