Tamatoa, Left Claw, Right Claw, Moana

Tamatoa: Oo-hoo-hoo, what have we here?

Left Claw: It's a sparkly....

Right Claw: Shiny.....

Tamatoa: Wait a minute! Eww, it's a human! What are you doing down here? In the Realm of Monsters?

Moana: (improvising) I just had to see you for myself.

Claws: Because you have a death wish?

Moana: Uh...no. We mortals have heard of the tale of the crab who became a legend...and I need to know how you... became so... crab...ulous...?

Tamatoa: Are you just trying to get me to talk about myself? Because if you are...I will gladly do so! In song form!

Moana, Maui

Moana: Maui? Anyone here? Everything looks so deserted. I am Moana of Motunui. You will board my boat, sail across the sea, and restore the Heart of Te Fiti. You will board my boat.

Maui: Hey, nice boat. Mind if I take it for a little spin? Thanks.

Moana: Hey! That's mine! Wait... Are you Maui? Shape-shifter? Demigod of the wind and sea? I, am Moana of –

Maui: Hero of men.

Moana: What?

Maui: Maui, shape-shifter, demigod of the wind and sea, hero of men--

Moana: Uh, I am Mo--

Maui: Sorry, sorry. Men and women. Maui is a hero to all. I interrupted. From the top...

Moana, Hei Hei, Pua, Gramma Tala

Moana: Pua! Hei Hei!

Hei Hei: Hey-hey-hey, Moana! (Pua looks worried)

Moana: What's wrong?

Pua: It's the coconuts. They're black.

Moana: Black? I've never seen that before. (Gramma enters)

Hei Hei: Hey-hey-hey, Moana! Have you ever seen a purple coconut?

Moana and Pua: No, Hei Hei.

Gramma Tala: I know why the coconuts are black.

Moana: Gramma Tala!

Pua, Hei Hei: Tell us! Please.

Gramma Tala: You three haven't been listening to my stories.

Hei Hei: No offense Gramma Tala, but your stories are really boring--

Pua: Hei Hei!

Hei Hei: I mean...confusing.

Gramma Tala: Te Ka's poison has finally reached Motunui. Te Ka won't stop until every island, every single one of us, is devoured by the blood-thirsty jaws of inescapable death!!

Chief Tui, Moana, Sina

Moana: Dad, what if the answers to Motonui's problems are out there?

Chief Tui: Moana, you are the future of our people. And they are not out in the ocean. They're right here.

Sina: One day soon, they'll all depend on you.

Chief Tui: It's time to be who they need you to be.

Moana: (realizing) I need to be who they need me to be.


Perdita, Pongo

Perdita: Cruella! Cruella De Vil has stolen our puppies! Oh, Pongo, do you think our pets will ever find them?

Pongo: I don't know, Perdita.

Perdita: We can't let down our puppies. Surely there must be a way to save them!

Pongo: Well, yes. There's the Twilight Bark.

Perdita: The Twilight Bark? But, dear, that's only a gossip chain.

Pongo: Darling, it's the very fastest way to send news. And if our puppies are anywhere in the city, the London dogs will know.

Perdita: All right, dear. Let's try it. There's no time to lose!

Narrators, Cruella, Horace & Jasper

Narrator 1: So life went on at Roger and Anita's house, and everyone was happy.

Narrator 2: They thought they seen the last of their mean and awful neighbor.

Narrator 3: But what they didn't know was that she was busy making plans...

Narrator 4: Evil plans.... with her two evil henchmen, Horace and Jasper.

Cruella: What do you mean we've run out of fur! We can't have run out of fur! My pattern calls for a muff and boots! I want my matching muff and boots!

Horace: Blimey, Cruella! We've bought up every Dalmatian puppy in all of London!

Jasper: And there are no more for sale in a hundred miles of here!

Cruella: (Laughing wickedly) Who said anything about a sale? My muff and boots are living right next door...

Horace: But I thought that artsy couple with all the dogs was living next door.

Cruella: Exactly, nincompoops!

Anita, Roger, Cruella

Anita: Oh, I'm afraid we can't give them up. Poor Perdita and Pongo would be heartbroken!

Cruella: Anita, don't be ridiculous. You can't possibly afford to keep them. You can scarcely afford to feed yourselves. Here's a hundred for the lot.

Roger: (indignant) Cruella, we're not selling the puppies.

Cruella: Oh, surely, you must be joking. Two hundred!

Roger: No, no, no. I—I—I mean it.

Cruella: All right, you've forced my hand. Three zillion pounds. And that's my final offer!

Roger: I'm sorry Cruella. We are not selling a single one.


Puppies

Penny: What's going on? Were are we?

Dot: Cruella's fur vault.

Spot: They brought us here.

Pepper: Gee, what do you suppose she could want with all of us?

Cruella: (off stage) Watch where you're going, you nincompoops!

Penny: Looks like we're about to find out!

Patch: Quick, hide!
