- I have no idea what this movie is about.
- “My twin brother died and took our mother with him.” That’s dark.
- You can start again? WTF?
- “But he changed his mind.” Okay, some happiness finally!
- So the dad took off and left after his daughter was born.
- He’s going to try and set up Pai’s teacher with her dad.
- Did people still do slides like that in 2002??
- Oh, whoa. He’s got a woman and another baby on the way. In Germany!
- She’s no use to me? Goddamn, you’re still a fucking asshole grandpa.
- She’s going with her dad? I didn’t expect that. I thought she was going to finish carving her dad’s waka and show everyone she can do it.
- “I’m gonna need all the firstborn boys.” This guy has a one-track mind and I kind of hate him for it.
- I wish I knew the words for what they’re singing.
- Good for her!
- I seriously hate Koro.
- “Sometimes you’ve just got to let him think he’s the boss.” I like this grandma!
- LOVE that the grandma sent her to ask her uncle for help.
- And now he’s inspired by Pai!
- He cut Hemi out for sparring with Pai? When he was upset? What a crock of bullshit.
- They only get one chance? Why can’t they go back down to get it?
- But hey! Uncle knows where it is – he can show Pai and she can go down and get it, right?
- They’re sending her away? What the hell?
- Okay, well at least it’s with Rawiri.
- “So I tried. And they heard me.” Love it!
- So she brought up a lobster AND the necklace.
- How does she still have so much faith in her Paka?
- Watching her cry while giving her speech is breaking my heart.
- Oh, the whales! There are so many!
- Oh, Pai. That was lovely.
- Oh, the rope is breaking. A callback to earlier.
- C’mon Pai – you can fix this!
- Why does she think she has to die to fix this?
- I need to learn more about Maori culture.
