  • [first lines] 

    Narrator : In ancient times, the land lay covered in forests, where, from ages long past, dwelt the spirits of the gods. Back then, man and beast lived in harmony, but as time went by, most of the great forests were destroyed. Those that remained were guarded by gigantic beasts who owed their allegiances to the Great Forest Spirit. For those were the days of gods and of demons...

  • Boar in Okkoto's Tribe : The Forest Spirit saved *him?* Saved the life of this loathsome runt? Why didn't he save Nago? Is he not the guardian of the forest? Why?

    Moro : The Forest Spirit gives life and takes life away. Life and death are his alone. Or have you boars forgotten than?

    Boar in Okkoto's Tribe : *You lie!* You must have begged the Forest Spirit to spare his life! But you did not beg for Nago, did you?

    Moro : Nago was afraid to die. Now, I too, carry within my breast a poisoned human bullet. Nago fled, and the darkness took him. I remain, and contemplate my death.

    San, The Princess Mononoke : Mother, please ask the Forest Spirit to save you!

    Moro : I have lived long enough, San. Soon, the Great Forest Sprit will let me rest forever.

    San, The Princess Mononoke : All these years, you've defended the Forest Spirit! He *must* save you!

    Boar in Okkoto's Tribe : You are not fooling us! Nago was beautiful and strong! He would not have run from anything! You wolves must have eaten him!

    San, The Princess Mononoke : Quiet! Watch what you say, you filthy pig!

  • San, The Princess Mononoke : [to the apes]  All right, what do you want here?

    San's Wolf Brother : Apes! How *dare* you show such disrespect to the wolf clan!

    Ape Tribe : This is our forest.

    Ape Tribe : The human... Give him to us.

    Ape Tribe : Give us the human and go.

    San's Wolf Brother : *You* go, before my *fangs* find you.

    Ape Tribe : We will not go.

    Ape Tribe : We will eat the human.

    Ape Tribe : Yes... we will eat the man creature.

  • Okkoto : Look on my tribe, Moro. We grow small, and we grow stupid. We will soon be nothing but squealing game... that the humans hunt for their meat.

  • San, The Princess Mononoke : Are you crazy? Just what happened to make the ape tribe change this way? Since when do apes eat the flesh of a man?

    Ape Tribe : If we eat the human, we will steal his strength, and we will drive the other humans away.

    Ape Tribe : Give us the man creature.

    San, The Princess Mononoke : Stop this. You know you can't possess the humans' strength by eating them. All that'll do is make you into something else, something even worse than human.

    Ape Tribe : We plant trees. Humans tear them up. The forest does not come back. If we kill the humans, we will save the forest.

    Ape Tribe : You mustn't give up. We'll find a way. The Forest Spirit is with us. Go on planting your trees and someday we'll beat them.

    San's Wolf Brother : ENOUGH! I'll *bite* your head off, you chattering ape.

    [they started charging] 

    San, The Princess Mononoke : Stop! Wait! Come back! Leave them alone!

    [they statred coming back not to fight them back] 

    San, The Princess Mononoke : Don't worry about them. It's all right.

  • Boar in Okkoto's Tribe : We are here to kill the humans and save the forest. Why are there humans here, Moro?

    Moro : Humans are everywhere these days. Go back to your own mountain. Kill them there. The girl is San, my daughter.

    Boar in Okkoto's Tribe : We will kill them here. We will save this forest. What is that other human doing here?

    San, The Princess Mononoke : He was shot, and then the Great Spirit healed his wound. This man is not our enemy!
