We have an indigenous population of humanoids called the Na'vi." Jake Sully "One life ends... Another begins." Norm Spellman "The concept is that every driver is matched to his own Avatar." Norm Spellman "Grace Augustine is a legend. She's the head of the Avatar program, she wrote the book. I mean literally wrote the book on Pandoran botany. That's because she likes plants better than people." Parker Selfridge "Unobtanium... because this little gray rock sells for 20 million a kilo. That's the only reason. It's what pays for the whole party." Colonel Miles Quaritch "Avatar program is a bad joke. Bunch a limp dick science majors." Neytiri "You're like a baby, making noise, don't know what to do."

And each tree has 10 to the fourth connections to the trees around it. And there are 10 to the tvelfth trees on Pandora. Which is a lot, I'm guessing. It's more connections than in the human brain." Dr. Grace Augustine "It's a global network, and the Na'vi can access it. They can upload and download data." Neytiri "Our Great Mother does not take sides Jake. She protects only the balance of life." Jake Sully "The time of Great Sorrow was ending. Toruk Makto was no longer needed." Jake Sully "I don't want to be late for my own party.
