Quotes 

• Arbutus : You can sever every limb, but my power will always bloom!

• Princess Jasmine : Arbutus, I'm not a flower you can keep in your garden. I need my family and friends.

  Arbutus : Ah, yes, human needs. Like you need to hack down my gorgeous trees, and chop them into lumber.

  Princess Jasmine : It's not that simple.

  Arbutus : Indeed. You burn them. For warmth. Breathing smoke - to block our life-giving sun!

  Princess Jasmine : We don't do that on purpose.

  Arbutus : Is it an accident when you rip and pluck my flowers? Condemning them to a slow death in a vase?

  Princess Jasmine : Slow death?

  Arbutus : Your kind - you're all the same! You treat my beautiful living creations as things! Why should I treat you any differently?

  [Arbutus turns away] 

  Princess Jasmine : Arbutus, I... I think I understand.

  [Arbutus turns back to face her; the scene cuts away] 

• Arbutus : Do you truly understand me, Princess? Or is this some human trick?

  Princess Jasmine : We humans appreciate your creations. The beauty of a flower, the shade from a tree, the joy of planting a seed and watching it grow. We care.

  Princess Jasmine : If only I could believe you...Perhaps I can! After all, you do bear the name of a flower.
