You are Omaticaya now. You may make your bow from the wood of Hometree. And you may choose a woman. We have many fine women. Ninat is the best singer.
– Neytiri
I don’t want Ninat.
– Jake Sully
Peyral is a good hunter.
– Neytiri
Yes, she is a good hunter. But I’ve already chosen. But this woman must also choose me.
– Jake Sully
She already has.
– Neytiri
Everything is backwards now, like out there is the true world, and in here is the dream.
– Jake Sully
I see you.
– Jake Sully
I see you.
– Neytiri
It is Toruk, Last Shadow.
– Neytiri
Yeah, right. It’s the last one you’ll ever see.
– Jake Sully
Well, uh, I guess this is my last video log. Whatever happens tonight, either way, I’m not gonna be comin’ back to this place. Well, I guess I better go. I don’t wanna be late for my own party. It’s my birthday, after all. This is Jake Sully signin’ off.
– Jake Sully
Jake…
– Dr. Grace Augustine
Grace…?
– Jake Sully
I’m with Her now, Jake. She is real…
– Dr. Grace Augustine
You are not in Kansas anymore. You are on Pandora, ladies and gentlemen. Respect that fact every second of every day. If there is a Hell, you might wanna go there for some R & R after a tour on Pandora. Out there beyond that fence every living thing that crawls, flies, or squats in the mud wants to kill you and eat your eyes for jujubes. We have an indigenous population of humanoids called the Na’vi. They’re fond of arrows dipped in a neurotoxin that will stop your heart in one minute – and they have bones reinforced with naturally occurring carbon fiber. They are very hard to kill. As head of security, it is my job to keep you alive. I will not succeed. Not with all of you. If you wish to survive, you need to cultivate a strong, mental aptitude. You got to obey the rules: Pandora rules. Rule number one…
– Col. Quaritch
Don’t play with that. You’ll go blind.
– Dr. Grace Augustine
So you just figured you’d come here, to the most hostile environment known to men, with no training of any kind, and see how it went? What was going through your head?
– Dr. Grace Augustine
Maybe I was sick of doctors telling me what I couldn’t do.
– Jake Sully
She said all energy is only borrowed, and one day you have to give it back.
– Jake Sully
Neytiri calls me skxawng. It means “moron.”
– Jake Sully
Just relax and let your mind go blank. That shouldn’t be too hard for you.
– Dr. Grace Augustine
Kiss the darkest part of my lily white…
– Jake Sully
It is decided. My daughter will teach you our ways. Learn well, “Jakesully”, and we will see if your insanity can be cured.
– Moat
This is how it’s done. When people are sittin’ on shit that you want, you make ’em your enemy. Then you’re justified in taking it.
– Jake Sully
With your permission, I will speak now. You would honor me by translating.
– Jake Sully:
The Sky People have sent us a message… that they can take whatever they want. That no one can stop them. Well, we will send them a message. You ride out as fast as the wind can carry you. You tell the other clans to come. Tell them Toruk Macto calls to them! You fly now, with me! My brothers! Sisters! And we will show the Sky People… that they cannot take whatever they want! And that this… this is our land!
– Jake Sully
I was a warrior who dreamed he could bring peace. Sooner or later, though, you always wake up.
– Jake Sully
My grandfather’s grandfather was Toruk Macto, Rider of Last Shadow.
– Neytiri
He rode this?
– Jake Sully
Toruk chose him, it has only happened five times since the time of first songs.
– Neytiri
The way I had it figured, Toruk’s the baddest cat in the sky. Nothing attacks him. So why would he ever look up? That was just a theory.
– Jake Sully
Outcast. Betrayer. Alien. I was in the place the eye does not see. I needed their help. And they needed mine. But to ever face them again, I was gonna have to take it to a whole new level.
– Jake Sully
All I ever wanted was a single thing worth fighting for.
– Jake Sully
It is hard to fill a cup that is already full.
– Moat
My cup is empty. Trust me. Just ask Dr. Augustine. I’m no scientist.
– Jake Sully
Then what are you?
– Moat
I was a marine. A warrior… of the uh… Jarhead Clan.
– Jake Sully
