A scene from Whale Rider 2003

Porourangi

Koro is just...he's just Iooking for something that doesn't exist anymore.

Pai

A new leader? They exist.

Porourangi

Pai

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?
