-
San, The Princess Mononoke : Even if all the trees grow back, it won't be his forest anymore. The Forest Spirit is dead.
Prince Ashitaka : Never. He is life itself. He isn't dead, San. He is here with us now, telling us, it's time for both of us to live.
-
San, The Princess Mononoke : Why did you stop me from killing her? Tell me while you're still alive!
Prince Ashitaka : I didn't want them to kill you. That's why.
San, The Princess Mononoke : I'm not afraid to die. I'd do anything to get you humans out of my forest!
Prince Ashitaka : I knew that... from the first moment I saw you.
San, The Princess Mononoke : And I'm not afraid of you! I should *kill* you for saving her!
[San turns Ashitaka around, takes out his sword, and aims it inches over his neck]
San, The Princess Mononoke : That woman is evil, and there's no one who can stop me from killing her.
Prince Ashitaka : No... Live...
San, The Princess Mononoke : That's enough! I'm not listening to you anymore!
[presses tip to throat]
Prince Ashitaka : [opening his eyes] You're... beautiful...
[San gasps, jumps back]
San's Wolf Brother : What is it, San? Want me to crunch his face off?
[all stare at Ashitaka for a moment... until a rock sails in and breaks the moment]
-
Moro : [about Ashitaka] You know, that boy wanted to share his life with you.
San, The Princess Mononoke : [burying her face in her fur] I hate him! I hate all humans!
-
San, The Princess Mononoke : Ugh, I smell like a human.
-
San, The Princess Mononoke : Ashitaka, you mean so much to me, but I can't forgive the humans for what they've done.
Prince Ashitaka : I understand. You'll live in the forest, and I'll help rebuild Irontown.
-
San, The Princess Mononoke : You two go on ahead. I'll stay here and deal with the human.
San's Wolf Brother : What about the elk?
San's Wolf Brother : Yes... Can we eat him?
[starts panting]
San, The Princess Mononoke : No, you may not. Go home!
-
San, The Princess Mononoke : [seeing the humans cutting down trees] Why chop the trees down?
Moro : [about the boars] To make them angry. Which makes them stupid.

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!
-
San, The Princess Mononoke : [to the apes] All right, what do you want here?
San's Wolf Brother : Apes! How *dare* you show such disrespect to the wolf clan!
Ape Tribe : This is our forest.
Ape Tribe : The human... Give him to us.
Ape Tribe : Give us the human and go.
San's Wolf Brother : *You* go, before my *fangs* find you.
Ape Tribe : We will not go.
Ape Tribe : We will eat the human.
Ape Tribe : Yes... we will eat the man creature.
-
Prince Ashitaka : [Sees riflemen readying guns] It's a trap. No, wait! Princess of the wolf-gods, don't go down there! Go back to the forest! Listen to me, please, don't throw your life away!
Gonza : [Turns to Lady Eboshi] Shall I stop him?
Lady Eboshi : [Stares at wolf-girl and Ashitaka on the roof] Leave him be. Let him do as he likes.
San, The Princess Mononoke : [Wolf howls in distance, readies knife and charges down roof towards Lady Eboshi]
-
San, The Princess Mononoke : [trapped in Okkoto's corruption] No! I don't wanna become a demon! Please stop, Okkoto!
-
[San's first line]
San, The Princess Mononoke : Go away.
-
San, The Princess Mononoke : Are you crazy? Just what happened to make the ape tribe change this way? Since when do apes eat the flesh of a man?
Ape Tribe : If we eat the human, we will steal his strength, and we will drive the other humans away.
Ape Tribe : Give us the man creature.
San, The Princess Mononoke : Stop this. You know you can't possess the humans' strength by eating them. All that'll do is make you into something else, something even worse than human.
Ape Tribe : We plant trees. Humans tear them up. The forest does not come back. If we kill the humans, we will save the forest.
Ape Tribe : You mustn't give up. We'll find a way. The Forest Spirit is with us. Go on planting your trees and someday we'll beat them.
San's Wolf Brother : ENOUGH! I'll *bite* your head off, you chattering ape.
[they started charging]
San, The Princess Mononoke : Stop! Wait! Come back! Leave them alone!
[they statred coming back not to fight them back]
San, The Princess Mononoke : Don't worry about them. It's all right.

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!
