7 scenes
Gramma
[While trying to sail beyond the reef into the open sea, Moana gets her boat wrecked and her foot jammed in the corals and bruised. Washed back onto the shore, Moana is spotted by Gramma]

Whatever just happened, blame it on the pig.

[to Gramma]

...Why are you acting weird?

Gramma

I'm a village's crazy lady. That's my job.

Villager
[blowing horn to alarm Tui]

Chief! It's your mother! [Tui and Moana run back to Tala's home where she is laid on the ground with a blanket]

Tui
[shocked]

Mother. [sighs] What can be done?

Villager

I don't know.

Gramma
[weakly]

Go.

[tears up]

Gramma?

Gramma

Go.

Not now. I can't.

Gramma

You must. The ocean chose you. Follow the fish hook...

Gramma.

Gramma
[continues]

And when you find Maui, you grab him by his ear. You say...I am Moana of Motunui! You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti!

[tearing up more]

I can't leave you.

Gramma

There is nowhere you could go where I won't be with you. Go.

Are you okay? [Maui doesn't respond] Maui?

[Maui turns around and shows Moana his cracked hook] [upset]

I told you to turn back.

I thought we could make it.

"We"?

I thought...I could make it. We can fix it.

It was made by the Gods. You can't fix it!

Next time, we'll be more careful. Te Kā was stuck on the barrier islands. It's lava. It can't go in the water. We can find another way around.

I'm not going back.

What...? We still have to restore the heart.

My hook is cracked. One more hit and it's over.

Maui, you have to restore the heart!

Without my hook, I am nothing.

That's not true.

[angrily shouts]

Without my hook, I am nothing!

[Moana is scared from his shouting, Maui drops the heart of Te Fiti on the boat, but Moana picks it up]

We are only here because you stole the heart in the first place!

No, we're here because the ocean told you you’re special and you believed it.

[with courage]

I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat...

[deadpan]

Goodbye, Moana.

Sail across the sea...

I'm not killing myself, so you can prove you’re something you're not!

And restore the heart of Te Fiti! The ocean chose me!

They chose wrong. [Maui transforms himself into a hawk and flies away]

Maui! [Maui ignores her and gives up as the ocean heard what happened] Why did you bring me here? [pauses] I'm not the right person. [gives the heart of Te-fiti to the ocean] You have to choose someone else. [heartbroken] Choose someone else, please. [the ocean takes it, falls through the bottom of the ocean, and Moana starts to cry until she sees a light glowing up that happens to be her now-deceased grandmother as the Manta Ray]

Gramma
[offscreen]

You're a long ways past the reef.

[shocked]

Gramma?

Gramma
[smiles]

Guess I chose the right tattoo.

Gramma! [runs to her and hugs her] I tried Gramma, I couldn't do it. [still crying]

Gramma
[forgives her]

It's not your fault. I never should've put so much on your shoulders. If you are ready to go home, I will be there with you.

Gramma Tala
[While trying to sail beyond the reef into the open sea, Moana gets her boat wrecked and her foot jammed in the corals and bruised. Washed back onto the shore, Moana is spotted by Gramma Tala]

Whatever just happened, blame it on the pig.

Are you gonna tell dad?

Gramma Tala

I’m his mom, I don't have to tell him anything.

It’s time for me to put my stone on the mountain.

Gramma Tala

Okay. Then, go back and put the stone there.

Why don't you try to talk me out of it?

Gramma Tala

You said that's what you want.

Certain.

Gramma Tala

When i die i will come back as one of them otherwise i chose the wrong tattoo.

[to Gramma Tala]

...Why are you acting weird?

Gramma Tala

I'm the village crazy lady. That's my job.

If there's something you want to tell me just tell me. Is there something you want to tell me?

Gramma Tala

Is there something you want to hear?

We were voyagers I can voyage again.

[The Chief Is Not Happy, Moana Notices Him And Follows Him.]

You told me to help our people! This is how we can help our people! [Chief Tui grabs the torch] Dad? What are you doing?

I should've burned those boats a long time ago.

No! Don't! We have to find Maui. We have to restore the heart!

[yelling, not believing his daughter]

There is no heart. This? THIS IS JUST A ROCK!

Dad! No!

The Villager
[Chief Tui throws Te Fiti's heart out, but Moana picks it up. Then he and Moana find Gramma Tala's cane discarded.] [blowing a horn to call Chief Tui, Yelling out]

Chief! It's your mother! [Chief Tui and Moana gasp and run panting to Tala's home where she is laid on her deathbed, Sina is sitting with Tala and sadly turns her head towards her husband]

[shocked]

Mother! [sighs and turns to the doctor] What can be done?

The female doctor

I don't know.

Gramma Tala
[weakly]

Go.

[tears up]

Gramma? [she leans closer to hear what Gramma Tala is saying]

Gramma Tala

Go.

Not now. I can't.

Gramma Tala

You must! The ocean chose you. Follow the fish hook...

Gramma.

Gramma Tala
[continues]

And when you find Maui, you grab him by his ear. You say, "I am Moana of Motunui! You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the heart of Te Fiti!"

[tearing up more]

I can't leave you.

Gramma Tala
