The Legend of Johnny Lingo (2002)

George Henare: Johnny Lingo

Quotes 

• Johnny Lingo : About the girl. If you truly value this girl you must wisely show it. Caring for her with stolen goods would not demonstrate true worth. No, love is a most costly commodity. The more you are willing to pay, the more valuable the prize. The question is, are you willing to pay the price ?

• Young Tama : Yes, I promised I'd go back to take care of her, and I will.

  Johnny Lingo : Well, well... true love, something unfortunately that has escaped me. As you rightly say, a treasure more valuable than gold.

• Johnny Lingo : He left me everything: including his name.

• Johnny Lingo : Have a son to continue the name and legacy of Johnny Lingo!

• Johnny Lingo : It's been a long time. I'm looking forward to our trade. Our people's health has benefitted enormously from the noni plant found on your island.

  Crazy Island Chief : Yes, the noni is a treasure. Now I hope you will not disappoint me. I need something unique for the dowry of my son's bride to be.

  Crazy Island Chief : [cups of noni juice are passed to Johnny Lingo and Tama, Tama spills his cup]  The boy must pay for his carelessness !

  Johnny Lingo : Forgive my young apprentice for his stupidity, I can assure you it was an innocent mistake.

  Crazy Island Chief : The gods must be appeased, the drink is an offering to them. You people might as well have spat in their faces.
