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 TALA enters. MOANA, PUA, and HEI HEI don't notice her.)

HEI HEI

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

MOANA, PUA

No, Hei Hei.

HEI HEI

Okay, just checking.

PUA

(worried)

What could have caused this?

(GRAMMA TALA mysteriously sneaks up to the MOANA, PUA, and HEI HEI.)

GRAMMA TALA

I know why the coconuts are black.

MOANA

Gramma Tala!

PUA, MOANA, HEI HEI

Tell us! / Why?

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

(holds up a blackened coconut)

Te Kā's poison has finally reached Motunui.

(PUA and HEI HEI scoff, but GRAMMA TALA circles them, her story growing in intensity.)

Te Kā won't stop until every island, and every single one of us, is devoured by the blood-thirsty jaws of inescapable death!

HEI HEI, PUA

(scared)

Aaaahhh!
