Screenplay data
Paraplegic Marine Jake Sully arrives on Pandora to take over his deceased twin brother's avatar program contract, tasked by Colonel Quaritch to infiltrate the Na'vi and gather intelligence on their Hometree, which sits atop a valuable unobtanium deposit. Jake is reluctantly accepted by the Omaticaya clan after being saved by Neytiri, who becomes his mentor and eventually his mate, teaching him the ways of the Na'vi and their connection to Eywa, their deity. As Jake grows closer to the Na'vi, he begins to question his mission and eventually betrays Quaritch and Selfridge, warning the clan of the impending attack on Hometree. After the destruction of Hometree and the death of Grace Augustine, Jake fully embraces his role as Toruk Makto, uniting the Na'vi clans to fight against the RDA's forces. In the climactic battle, the Na'vi, aided by Eywa, defeat the RDA, leading to the expulsion of most humans from Pandora, and Jake permanently transfers his consciousness into his avatar body, becoming a true member of the Na'vi.

Colonel Miles Quaritch, Trudy ChaconFor you pogues, this is a banshee. A small one. See, they like it when I bring fresh meat out here. And this clearcutting really stirs up the hornet's nest. So keep your head on a swivel. If it moves, shoot it. If you're not sure it's moving -- shoot it! If it looks like a bunch of flowers you want to take home to Sally Rottencrotch -- SHOOT IT! What're you gonna do?
Alright, look -- I don't have the answers yet, I'm just now starting to even frame the questions. What we think we know -- is that there's some kind of electrochemical communication between the roots of the trees. Like the synapses between neurons. Each tree has ten to the fourth connections to the trees around it, and there are ten to the twelfth trees on Pandora --
The Sky People have sent a message that they can take whatever they want, and no one can stop them. But we will send them a message. Ride out, as fast as the wind can carry you, tell the other clans to come. Tell them Toruk Macto calls to them. Fly now with me brothers and sisters! Fly! And we will show the Sky People that this is our land!
Killing the indigenous looks bad, but there's one thing shareholders hate more than bad press -- and that's a bad quarterly statement. Find me a carrot to get them to move, or it's going to have to be all stick.
It's crazy here, Jake. It's full mobilization. They're rigging the shuttles as bombers. They've made up these big pallets of mine explosives. It's for some kind of shock and awe campaign.
If Grace is there with you -- look in her memories -- she can show you the world we come from. There's no green there. They killed their Mother, and they're gonna do the same thing here.
As head of security, it's my job to keep you alive. I will not succeed -- not with all of you. If you wish to survive, you need a strong mental attitude, you need to follow procedure...
Those savages are threatening our whole operation. We're on the brink of war and you're supposed to be finding a diplomatic solution. So use what you've got and get me some results.
