You're going to Iearn that chant, all of you, Iearn it exactIy. And if you break the chant, you will suffer the utu. The consequences.
Like what? Someone dying or something?
Like your dick'll drop off. So hold onto your dicks.
Porourangi Koro is just...he's just Iooking for something that doesn't exist anymore.
A new leader? They exist.
Porourangi Yeah, they do, except I think it's become even more than that. In his head, your Koro, he needs a prophet.
What's that?
Porourangi Well, somebody who's gonna Iead our peopIe out of the darkness and who'll make everything aIright again. OnIy probIem is you can't just decide who those peopIe are just because you want them to be, eh?
By being born I broke the line back to the ancient ones. It wasn't anybody's fault --it just happened.
I wasn't scared to die.
In the old days the land felt a great emptiness… it was waiting waiting… waiting to be filled up…waiting for someone to love it… waiting for a leader.
My Koro wished in his heart that I'd never been born. But he changed his mind.
My name is Paikea Apirana and I come from a Iong Iine of chiefs stretching all the way back to the whale rider. I'm not a prophet, but I know that our peopIe will keep going forward all together, with all of our strength.
My name is Paikea Apirana, and I come from a long line of chiefs...
There was no gladness when I was born.
We can learn-- and if the knowledge is given to everyone-- then we can have lots of leaders, and soon everyone will be strong-- not just the ones that have been chosen-- because sometimes even if you're the leader and you need to be strong-- you can get tired…
When you extend your tongue...you're saying to your enemies.....I'm gonna eat you...your eyes will roll back...your head will be stuck on the end of my stick. FeeI the ihi...the power. Make them feeI the wehi...the fear. I want the hairs on the backs of their necks to stand up.
Why doesn't he want me?
Wise leader, forgive me. I am but a fledgling new to flight.
