triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Guion


Maui: No. I’m not going to Te Fiti with some kid. I’m going to get my hook. You have yours, and I’m not Maui without mine. Okay, talk to the back.

Maui: Boat snack.

Maui: Good riddance, you filthy pile of pebbles.

Maui: Oh, no, no, no. Don’t look at me like that. It’s a beautiful cave. She’s going to love it. And I’m going to love you in my belly. Now, let’s fatten you up, drumstick.

Maui: I could watch that all day. Okay. Enjoy the island. Maui, out.

Moana: No! Stop! Hey! You have to put back the Heart!

Maui: (I) Did not see that coming.

Moana: I am Moana of Motun...

Maui: It was Moana, right?

Moana: Yes. And you will restore the Heart!

Maui: Alright. I’m out. Oh, come on!

Moana: What is your problem? Are you afraid of it?

Maui: No! No. I’m not afraid. Stay out of it, or you’re sleeping in my armpit. You, stop it. That is not a heart. It is a curse. The second I took it, I got blasted out of the sky and I lost my hook. Get it away from me.
