Quotes 

• Dr. Garvin : [after the mother Tulkun is killed]  the only way to reach the glands is from below, drill up through the heart palate into the brain. These are highly intelligent beings. Probably smarter than us.

  Scoresby : Not smarter than me.

  Dr. Garvin : That is setting the bar very low.

  Scoresby : Hey, I'm the one with the harpoon.

  Dr. Garvin : Yeah.

  Spider : How do you know... that they're smarter than us?

  Dr. Garvin : They have more neurons, more pathways. Not only are they smarter, they're deeply emotional. More spiritual.

  [shows Spider a 3d scan of the tulkuns brain] 

  Dr. Garvin : This region here corresponds with our emotional centers, but proportionally it's much larger. They have music, philosophy, mathematics, complex language. Okay. Here we go.

  Scoresby : [as a yellow liquid is extracted from the tulkuns brain]  Show me the money.

  Quaritch : So that's what this is all about?

  Dr. Garvin : That's it. Amrita.

  Scoresby : [after the amrita is extracted into a vial he takes it out]  Bad luck for the big guys. This stuff just happens to stop human aging. Like.. stops it. Ounce for ounce, the single most valuable substance known to man. This little vile here is worth like 80 million.

  [pretends to throw it] 

  Scoresby : Think fast!

  Dr. Garvin : Please don't. It's never funny.

  Scoresby : Amrita is what's paying for everything here on Pandora now. Even your research, ain't that right, Dr. G?

  Dr. Garvin : It's why I drink.

  Spider : That's all you take? y-You just waste the rest?

  Scoresby : Drop the bags. Let's sink her.

  Quaritch : No, leave the bags I want them to know it was us.

  Scoresby : I charge extra for being used as bait.

• Dr. Garvin : I thought you were the intelligent species here, Scoresby

  Scoresby : Shut your cakehole, Garvin

• Scoresby : I'm over it. I've got quotas to meet.

  Quaritch : You want to hunt? Let's hunt?

  Scoresby : What? Here? Not here. There's too many villages.

  Dr. Garvin : No. No, no, no. Respectfully sir. You do not understand the kindred bonds between the Tulkun and the ocean Na'vi. It would be like murdering a member of their family.

  Scoresby : If we start hunting here, the hostiles will come after us.

  Quaritch : Exactly. One hostile in particular

• Quaritch : [going over a 3-D map]  The target is pretty much this whole island group.

  Scoresby : I've never been up there. You know those waters, Doc. What kind of indigenous we got?

  Dr. Garvin : Uh, Metkayina mostly. Some Ta'unui, maybe 50 villages.

  Quaritch : Uh, you are who?

  Dr. Garvin : Oh, I'm.. Ian Garvin, marine biologist.

  Quaritch : 50 villages, 100 villages, I don't care we'll search them all.

  Scoresby : I hunt Tulkun. That's what I'm rigged for. That's all my guys do. I've got quotas to meet.

  Quaritch : I'll be nice once, then I won't.

  Scoresby : Well if you can't get out of it, get into it.

• Dr. Garvin : Who's got the harpoon now?
