MOANA

Maui? Anyone here? Everything looks so deserted.

(As MOANA rehearses her speech, MAUI enters, unseen.)

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

(a different approach)

"You will board my boat."

MAUI

Hey, nice boat. Mind if I take it for a little spin? Thanks.

MOANA

Hey! That's mine! Wait... Are you Maui? Shape-shifter? Demigod of the wind and sea? I, am Moana of-

MAUI

Hero of men.

MOANA

What?

MAUI

Maui, shape-shifter, demigod of the wind and sea, hero of men-

MOANA

Uh. I am Mo-

MAUI

Sorry, sorry. Men and women. Maui is a hero to all. I interrupted. From the top...

MOANA

Hold on. I'm here to-

MAUI

Of course, Maui always has time for his fans.

MOANA

I'm not your fan! I'm here 'cause you stole the Heart of Te Fiti! And you will board my boat, sail across the sea, and put it back!

MAUI

Um, it almost sounds like you don't like me, which is impossible 'cause I got stuck here for a thousand years trying to get the heart for you mortals. So what I believe you were trying to say... is thank you.

MOANA

Thank you?

MAUI

You're welcome.
