- Narrator: In ancient times, the land lay covered in forests, where, from ages long past, dwelt the spirits of the gods. Back then, man and beast lived in harmony, but as time went by, most of the great forests were destroyed. Those that remained were guarded by gigantic beasts who owed their allegiances to the Great Forest Spirit. For those were the days of gods and of demons...
- Okkoto: Look on my tribe, Moro. We grow small, and we grow stupid. We will soon be nothing but squealing game... that the humans hunt for their meat.
- Boar in Okkoto's Tribe: The Forest Spirit saved *him?* Saved the life of this loathsome runt? Why didn't he save Nago? Is he not the guardian of the forest? Why?
- Moro: The Forest Spirit gives life and takes life away. Life and death are his alone. Or have you boars forgotten than?
- Boar in Okkoto's Tribe: *You lie!* You must have begged the Forest Spirit to spare his life! But you did not beg for Nago, did you?
- Moro: Nago was afraid to die. Now, I too, carry within my breast a poisoned human bullet. Nago fled, and the darkness took him. I remain, and contemplate my death.
- San, The Princess Mononoke: Mother, please ask the Forest Spirit to save you!
- Moro: I have lived long enough, San. Soon, the Great Forest Sprit will let me rest forever.
- San, The Princess Mononoke: All these years, you've defended the Forest Spirit! He *must* save you!
- Boar in Okkoto's Tribe: You are not fooling us! Nago was beautiful and strong! He would not have run from anything! You wolves must have eaten him!
- San, The Princess Mononoke: Quiet! Watch what you say, you filthy pig!
- Boar in Okkoto's Tribe: We are here to kill the humans and save the forest. Why are there humans here, Moro?
- Moro: Humans are everywhere these days. Go back to your own mountain. Kill them there. The girl is San, my daughter.
- Boar in Okkoto's Tribe: We will kill them here. We will save this forest. What is that other human doing here?
- San, The Princess Mononoke: He was shot, and then the Great Spirit healed his wound. This man is not our enemy!
