- Wiremu: Behold this gun, crafted in America. This gun was gifted to this officer by a high born pakeha as a reward for saving the life of his son. If I squeeze the trigger a lightning flash will split the heavens asunder and the very earth will shake beneath your feet! When this gun fires its reverbarations will be felt in the most distant heavens! This weapon is imbued with the spirit! There is no greater gun in existence!
- Te Wheke: I will kill the white man to avenge what he has done! The spirit of my people commands me. I cannot live this life. I would rather die.
