triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Guion


Gramma Tala: You've been told all our people's stories but one.

Moana: What is this place?

Gramma Tala: Do you really think our ancestors stayed within the reef?

Moana: What's in there?

Gramma Tala: The answer to the question you keep asking yourself. Who are you meant to be? Go inside, bang the drum, and find out.

Moana: Bang the drum.

Moana: We were voyagers. We were voyagers! We were voyagers! We were voyagers! We were voyagers! Why'd we stop?

Gramma Tala: Maui. When he stole from the Mother Island, darkness fell. Te Ka awoke. Monsters lurked and boats stopped coming back. To protect our people, the ancient chiefs forbid voyaging. And now we have forgotten who we are. And the darkness has continue to spread, chasing away our fish, draining the life from island after island.

Moana: Our island.

Gramma Tala: But one day, someone will journey beyond our reef, find Maui, deliver him across the great ocean to restore the heart of Te Fiti. I was there that day. The ocean chose you.

Moana: I thought it was a dream.

Gramma Tala: Nope! Our ancestors believed Maui lies there at the bottom of his hook. Follow it and you will find him.

Moana: But why would it choose me? I don't even know how to make it past the reef. But I know who does.
