Jake Sully : I became a Marine for the hardship. Told myself that I can pass any test a man can pass. All I ever wanted was a single thing worth fighting for.

Col. Quaritch : Son, I take care of my own. You get me what I need, I make sure that when you rotate home you get your legs back, your real legs.
Jake Sully : That sounds real good sir.

Jake Sully : You wanted to see me, Colonel?
Col. Quaritch : This low gravity'll make you soft. And when you get soft, Pandora will eat you and shit you out dead with zero warning. I read your file, Corporal. Venezuela, that was some mean bush. Nothin' like that here, though. You got some heart kid, showin' up here.
Jake Sully : Figured it was just another hellhole.

Col. Quaritch : I want this mission high and tight. I wanna be home for dinner.

Jake Sully : [ as Jake pleads for Eywa's help in attacking the "Sky People" ] If Grace is there with you - look in her memories - she can show you the world we come from. There's no green there. They killed their Mother, and they're gonna do the same here. More Sky People are gonna come. They're gonna come like a rain that never ends. Unless we stop them. They chose me for something. I will stand and fight. You know I will. But I need a little help here.
Neytiri : Our great mother does not take sides, Jake; she protects the balance of life.
Jake Sully : It was worth a try.

Dr. Grace Augustine : Hey Marine!
Jake Sully : [ Turns and sees Grace's Avatar ] Damn. Grace?
Dr. Grace Augustine : Well who'd you expect, numbnuts?
Dr. Grace Augustine : Think fast. [ Grace throws Jake some type of purple fruit ]
Dr. Grace Augustine : Motor control is looking good. [ Jake bites into fruit and chuckles excitedly ]

Trudy Chacon : We're goin' up against gunships with bows and arrows.
Jake Sully : Well, I guess we better stop 'em.

Selfridge : Look. You're supposed to be winning the hearts and minds of the natives. Isn't that the whole point of your little puppet show? If you walk like them, you talk like them, they'll trust you. We build them a school, teach them English. But after - how many years - the relations with the indigenous are only getting worse.
Dr. Grace Augustine : Yeah, well that tends to happen when you use machine guns on them.
Selfridge : Right. C'mere. You see this? [ shows Grace the sample of Unobtanium on his desk ]
Selfridge : This is why we're here. Because this little gray rock sells for $20 million a kilo. That's the only reason. This is what pays for the whole party, and it's what pays for your science. Those savages are threatening our whole operation. We're on the brink of war and you're supposed to be finding me a diplomatic solution. So use what you've got, and get me some results.

Col. Quaritch : Shut your pie hole!
Dr. Grace Augustine : Or what, *Ranger Rick*? You gonna shoot me?
Col. Quaritch : I can do that.

Jake Sully : 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 : [ Narrating ] Sometimes your whole life boils down to one insane move.

Dr. Grace Augustine : [ to Selfridge ] Those trees were sacred to the Omaticaya in a way you can't imagine.
Selfridge : You know what? You throw a stick in the air around here it falls on some sacred fern, for Christ's sake!
Dr. Grace Augustine : I'm not talking about pagan voodoo here - I'm talking about something REAL and measurable in the biology of the forest.
Selfridge : Which is *what* exactly?
Dr. Grace Augustine : What we think we know - is that there's some kind of electrochemical communication between the roots of the trees. Like the synapses between neurons. Each tree has ten to the fourth connections to the trees around it, and there are ten to the twelfth trees on Pandora...
Selfridge : That's a lot, I'm guessing.
Dr. Grace Augustine : That's more connections than the human brain. You get it? It's a network - a global network. And the Na'vi can access it - they can upload and download data - memories - at sites like the one you just destroyed.
Selfridge : [ after a stunned pause ] What the HELL have you people been smoking out there? [ beginning to laugh ]
Selfridge : They're just. Goddamn. Trees.
Dr. Grace Augustine : You need to wake up, Parker. The wealth of this world isn't in the ground - it's all around us. The Na'vi know that, and they're fighting to defend it. If you wanna share this world with them, *you* need to understand *them*.
Col. Quaritch : I think we understand them just fine. Thanks to Jake here. [ Jake and Grace share a look of horror as Quaritch begins to play Jake's video log ]

[ Grace's last lines ]
Dr. Grace Augustine : Jake...
Jake Sully : [ takes her hand, speaks hopefully ] Grace...?
Dr. Grace Augustine : I'm with Her now, Jake. She is real... [ dies ]

Jake Sully : You have to leave, or you're gonna die!
Moat : Are you certain of this?
Jake Sully : Look, they sent me here, to learn your ways, so one day I could bring this message, and that you would believe it.
Neytiri : What are you saying, Jake? You knew this would happen?
Jake Sully : Yes. Look, at first, it was just orders, and then, everything changed. Okay? I fell in love. I fell in love with the - with the forest, with the Omaticaya people... with you... with you...
Neytiri : [ interrupting him ] I trusted you...
Jake Sully : [ continuing what he was saying ] - with you.
Neytiri : [ getting upset ] I trusted you!
Jake Sully : [ trying to calm her ] Trust me, now. Please.
Neytiri : You will never be one of The People!
Neytiri : He tried to stop them!
Jake Sully : Neytiri, please. [ Neytiri says something in Na'vi and leaves ]

Trudy Chacon : [ the instrumentation is going haywire, flying through clouds ] Looks like we're VFR from here on.
Norm Spellman : What's VFR?
Trudy Chacon : It means you gotta see where you're goin'.
Norm Spellman : But you can't see anything.
Trudy Chacon : [ laughing ] Yeah, ain't that a bitch.

Jake Sully : [ while flying with his ikran ] I may not be much of a horse guy, but I was born to do this.

Jake Sully : [ Narrating ] Learning to ride an ikran - we call 'em banshees - is a test every young hunter has to pass. But to do that, you gotta go where the banshees are. Boo-rah.

Col. Quaritch : [ addressing marines ] Everyone on this base, every one of you, is fighting for survival, and that's a fact. There's an aboriginal horde out there massing for an attack. These orbital images tell me that the hostile numbers have gone from a few hundred, to well over two thousand in one day. And more are pourin' in. In a week's time there could be 20,000 of 'em. At that point they will overrun our perimeter. That's not gonna happen. Our only security lies in preemptive attack. We will fight terror with terror. The hostiles believe that this mountain territory is protected by their... deity. And when we destroy it, we will blast a crater in their racial memory so deep, that they won't come within 1,000 klicks of this place ever again. And that, too, is a fact.
