Quotes:

[from trailer]::Young Steve Saint: Are we going to run?

Nate Saint: Do you know how far away the sun is?::Young Steve Saint: 93 million miles.::Nate Saint: Do you know that that's just a fraction of how much I love you?

Mincayani: You look like Dayumae. But you don't fool me. You're a spirit.::Dayumae: You look like a man. But you don't fool me. You're Mincayani.

Waodani Chaperone: [In Waodani] I think you are a tall woman. With a voice like a beautiful canary.::Roger Youderian: [Stares blankly at her]::Nate Saint: She just proposed to you, Roger.

Mincayani: Do it! I killed your father! Do it!::Steve Saint: No one took my fathers life. He gave it.

Nate Saint: [after being speared; speaking in the Waodani language] I am your friend.

Young Steve Saint: If the Waodani attack, will you defend yourself? Will you use your guns?::Nate Saint: Son, we can't shoot the Waodani. They're not ready for heaven... we are.

[first lines]::Steve Saint: Some people say we live in a world of irreconcilable differences. Others say that true peace, lasting peace, can't be obtained because we haven't found a way yet to change the human heart.

[last lines]::Steve Saint: It's true my dad and his four friends were not given the privilege of watching their children and grandchildren grow up. But Mincayani is a grandfather. It's the first time in Waodani history they've ever had so many grandfathers. He's not only a grandfather to his own children, he's a grandfather to mine. My dad would have liked that. Through the years people could always identify with our loss. But they could never imagine the way we would experience gain.
