If you think the Vatican hates Avatar now, just imagine how much they would have liked the original version of the movie that included pre-marital tentacle sex! Now, fortunately, you can: The movie’s deleted sex scene between Neytiri and Jake is included in James Cameron’s full script, which 20th Century Fox has posted online. We’ve excerpted the relevant parts of the hookup below. Now might be a good time to break out that blue greasepaint, if only to obscure your blushing.
EXT. WILLOW GLADE
He puts his face close to hers. She rubs her cheek against his. He kisses her on the mouth. They explore each other.
Then she pulls back, eyes sparkling.
NEYTIRI
Kissing is very good. But we have something better.
She pulls him down until they are kneeling, facing each other on the faintly glowing moss.
Neytiri takes the end of her queue and raises it. Jake does the same, with trembling anticipation. The tendrils at the ends move with a life of their own, straining to be joined.
MACRO SHOT — The tendrils INTERTWINE with gentle undulations.
JAKE rocks with the direct contact between his nervous system and hers. The ultimate intimacy.
They come together into a kiss and sink down on the bed of moss, and ripples of light spread out around them.
THE WILLOWS sway, without wind, and the night is alive with pulsing energy as we DISSOLVE TO —
LATER. She is collapsed across his chest. Spent. He strokes her face tenderly.
JAKE
Neytiri, you know my real body is far away, sleeping.
She raises up, placing her fingertips to his chest —
NEYTIRI
This body is real.
(she touches his forehead)
This spirit is real.
Her eyes are luminous, honest, infinitely deep.
NEYTIRI
When I was first your teacher, I hated all Sky People. But you have also taught me.
(whispering)
Spirit is all that matters.
She lays her head down, against his chest, listening to his heartbeat.
NEYTIRI
I am with you now, Jake. We are mated for life.
JAKE
We are?
NEYTIRI
Yes. It is our way.
(innocently)
Oh. I forgot to tell?
He rouses up, making her look at him.
JAKE
Really, we are?
NEYTIRI
We are.
JAKE
It’s cool. I’m there.
He lays his head down, and her arms enfold him, sheltering him as he sleeps.

It's nice to know that even on distant moons in far away galaxies, the willows still sway during PG-13 sex scenes.
Posted 11 Jan 2010, 11:45 AM
Cameron HAD to delete this scene because otherwise Jake would've bailed back to his earth body.
I mean, c'mon, he'd be done "tingling" in a minute and would have to stay "tendrilized" until SHE finished?
Sounds like work to me.

I don't about the rest of you but this reads like a bad fanfic.
Posted 12 Jan 2010, 3:59 AM
I seriously had to doublecheck the byline on this to make sure it wasn't an Alan Smithee column. Zounds! That dialogue reads terribly in b/w
Posted 12 Jan 2010, 9:36 AM
Ah, classic crappy Cameron dialogue. Probably only cut because it has Neytiri tricking him into the "for life" part.
Posted 12 Jan 2010, 10:48 PM
"It’s cool. I’m there."
It wasn't cut because it was a sex scene, it was cut because it was crap.
Posted 25 Jan 2010, 3:21 PM
Sometimes it's not about the dialogue. I mean, Jake had some shocker lines throughout the film but I guess that's just the character. It's more important how the actor delivered the lines.
Posted 13 Jan 2010, 1:58 AM
"I don't about the rest of you but this reads like a bad fanfic."
It fits the whole rest of the movie, then.
Posted 13 Jan 2010, 1:49 PM
@Martin - if they cut this scene because it was crap then the hole movie would have been scrapped!
Posted 14 Jan 2010, 8:35 PM
"hole movie would have been scrapped"
Oh shut the hell up. The movie wasn't that bad. It's obvious this scene was cut because it was damn cheesy. It would've taken away from that whole mysterious vibe the natives had, and chicks wouldn't have thought it was "awe cute".
Posted 15 Jan 2010, 4:40 AM
NONSENSE !!!
Posted 15 Jan 2010, 12:39 PM
I think that if Jakes lines at the end had been written just a little differently that the "It's cool. I'm there." to something more fitting of the situation that it would have fit the movie just fine. However I do also think that it was only cut to maintain the PG-13 rating.
Posted 16 Jan 2010, 4:57 PM
I really like the movie, but you have to admit it REALLY is pretty bad. I'm not surprised at how cheesy this scene reads.
Posted 19 Jan 2010, 7:22 AM
Scrapped because it was crap? Perhaps. But I think it was scrapped because it insinuates bestiality...
Posted 19 Jan 2010, 1:19 PM
I do think this was a great movie, but honestly "It’s cool. I’m there," has to be one of the worst lines ive ever heard.
Posted 19 Jan 2010, 9:47 PM
I completely agree. Compared to the rest of the movie, that line is like... An insult.
Posted 21 Jan 2010, 8:42 AM
Your a piece of shit that thinks that this masterpiece 'wasn't a great movie." WOW, this is going to be the highest grossing film ever made... i guess your the 5% of 100% who didn't like the movie because you all don't fucking love life. I bet your white trash living in a damn trailer park only looking at life as "bad".
Posted 25 Apr 2010, 8:55 PM
damn straiqht :)
Posted 20 Jan 2010, 6:46 PM
Why does everything seems to be related to sex ? Can't we just enjoy a simple meaningful movie ?
Posted 21 Jan 2010, 8:23 PM
If this scene had been in the movie, nobody would have been paying attention to the crappy dialogue. They'd be putting their coats on their laps.
Posted 23 Jan 2010, 1:44 AM
I'm a male and I thought such a scene would be quite cute. In fact, I'd really dig it. I'm not really interested in complaining about it being cut though because I'll see it on the DVD with the deleted scenes!
Posted 23 Jan 2010, 12:16 PM
james cameron cut the scene to protect his PG-13 rating
Posted 23 Jan 2010, 1:06 PM
That scene is so hot! I don't see anything bad about it, and I don't see anything the Vatican should be upset about, nor the censors, for that matter. Why would it change the rating? As for Jake's lack of intellect, one must give him credit for taking the fight where it belonged.
Posted 25 Jan 2010, 12:32 PM
Over here in Europe we got a short version of this scene, basically the kissing and tendrills thing but without the cheesy dialogue (and yes, it was still "PG-13" as you call it, we don't make a huge fuss over a 13 year old watching some kissing and groping).
Posted 02 Aug 2010, 4:05 AM
Fu ck you england. America doesnt make a (as you da mn europeans say) bloody fuss about PG-13
Posted 27 Jan 2010, 9:26 AM
I'm sure the demographic group that LOOKS FORWARD to Danial Radcliff / harry potter doggy styling Hermione in the upcoming movie (yeah, I know, Snogging, it's in the book, whatever), IS HIGHLY disappointed to be denied a true Sex scene in Avatar. Because for everything that is going to be inevitably edited out from the Book for time concerns, the Sex Scene is Super Important to keep in, because there is clearly Not Enough Sex Scenes in our Movies and our Media.
Point is, AVATAR & Harry Potter, Neither needs Sex Scenes to be Good. There was a time when we left some things to the Imagination. Not Anymore it seems.
Posted 03 Mar 2010, 3:41 AM
I don't know where you got your information, mate, but snogging sure as hell isn't doggy. It's making out.
Posted 28 Jan 2010, 12:24 PM
I don't really get why was this deleted. Actually I recall it being in the movie when I saw it, living in Finland. Well, without dialogue, but anyway, still don't see any reason to delete it.
Posted 30 Jan 2010, 11:21 PM
I can tell you why this scene was cut:
1. The movie is already 2 hours and 42 minutes long, they don't want another 10 minutes added to it. They don'y want it to be gone-with-the-wind 3 hours long, as it would be if they added all the scenes that were cut.
2. It might make the rating higher, which means less people would watch it: less money.
3. The movie is fine without it. We all have an imagination (or don't you?).
Posted 31 Jan 2010, 9:01 PM
Dude, the scene was cut because if they kept it, it would have meant that they had "sex" with every animal and plant.
But yeah, this is also really dumb.
Posted 03 Feb 2010, 8:47 AM
i thought avatar was a very spiritual movie, if you missed the message that the white man is only interested in what they can make money with or weapons they will go to any lengths to get it at the expense of another race or way of life. you only have to look back at the history of this country to see what we did to the native americans who were here minding there own business but we didn't like it so we took it away and forced them onto reservations. this country has alot of karma to pay for and it will come. we spend to much time with coloring the message with making the problem "sex". everything procreates whether in this world or others. anonymous
Posted 03 Feb 2010, 10:00 AM
The written scene reads as if Neytiri knew that Jake's avatar wasn't his real body. But when watching the film, I got the impression that she had no idea that he wasn't really one of the "blue people".
Posted 05 Feb 2010, 3:36 AM
I'm with you! I got that impression too. But it was really hard to know if the clan knew or not that Jake was one of the sky people. I think he tricked them of beliveing that he was from another clan, but that make little sense too, when the clans would have had at least similar rituals and so on... That's the only part in the movie that I don't get, but maybe It'll be clear the next time I see it.
Posted 06 Apr 2010, 3:15 AM
Are you serious? You really don't know what the Na'Vi meant when they called Jake one of the 'Sky People'? Did you miss the part when the Chief said that they had tried to teach other 'Sky People' before? They didn't think Jake or Grace were from another tribe ... they knew the 'avatars' were part of the people with guns who were destroying the land.
Posted 15 Feb 2010, 8:55 PM
From a marketing POV I understand why this scene had to be cut, but I agree with Albert it would have thrown the knowldege if the Na'vi were onto to him yet plot device off.
It reads nicely. I'd like to see it on the DVD.
Posted 21 Feb 2010, 7:14 PM
I think they cut it cuz 10 foot tall blue aliens screwin woulda creeped people out
Posted 24 Feb 2010, 3:11 AM
But who would be creeped out?? Jake and Neytiri looks very human to me! Except from the tails,noses and ears. . there are no huge differenses I think! They are both beautiful and sensual! Jake is so damn sexy and more gourgeous than any human man ever will be! I´d do him!!!!! :P
Posted 27 Feb 2010, 10:50 AM
I live in Canada and I saw that scene, without the dialogue, except Neytiri did say "We are mated for life" aslo, It wasnt that bad. It's not like you could actually see anything, I thought it was really sweet.
Posted 06 Mar 2010, 7:45 PM
I think you people take this way to seriously. If it is truely what could have been in the movie...so be it. They're words. They weren't in the movie lame or not. Everyone has opinions on it. It seems interesting how some people seemed to be getting angry over this. Really? Is this all you have to do? Read random things about Avatar and obsess over them? Move on...
Posted 08 Mar 2010, 3:57 PM
I just want to know, are we going to get it ALL in the specially boxed Director's Cut when it comes out on DVD or BlueRay...?

I read the comments and I have some things to say abot the cut Avatar "sex" scene. I have seen a lot of reviews, that James Cameron took part in, on Avatar and I just want to make it clear:
1. James Cameron deleted the scene, because some people may refer do it as "sex" (it si NOT sex) and then it woud turn out that the Na'vi are having sex with animals! Actually they have sex just like humans do.
2. I think that the scene was very sweet and it doesn't have to be some deep thought in the dialoge. I mean he isn't some philosopher - he's just a marine. So stop complaning about the scene that it's not a great dialoge and shut up!

This vibrator is inexpensive, powerful, and easy to carry. Also, it is pretty durable and even water resistant. And it is a good item for beginners because it is small and discreet. I actually keep one on the coffee table in my living room and offer free massages to my female guests :) Another good idea is to put it in your pocket and turn it on while dancing. Then if you dance close your partner feels the vibrations!
Posted 25 May 2010, 10:56 AM
This scene seems pretty vital in defining how deep their feelings were towards eachother.
I mean, for me, in the scene were Neytiri saves Jake's human body by popping the oxygen mask over his face, and she cradles him, I wondered if she found him gross, like a puny human or something. I wondered where the chemistry is, because all we see throughout the movie is her smacking him, then later thinking hmm. Yes. Kissy-kiss mate mate.
As for the sex factor, ehh. As a chick, I read this and thought it sounded very romantic, with the exchanging of words. Many points were lost with Jake's shit line, but reading over what others have had to say about it, I would have to agree; Jake had terrible lines throughout the movie but Sam Worthington did a great job in creating the character and delivered the lines comfortably, instead of them sounding like a whip on your ear. I'm sure Jake's lines fit with the character, and that Sam did a good job of them.
Posted 26 May 2010, 2:53 PM
What is he really speaking about in article? Aritotle words of itellect suggests that we as humans must always accept what is the truth of the situation and appreciate life.
Posted 29 May 2010, 5:03 PM
Eh, I don't know... this really isn't material that would be censored, I mean, real censoring would be with the "Unmentionables" in it... these are just tentacles. But I do agree with the 'It's cool, I'm there' being crap. They would've probably changed it if it DID show in the movie. Except, I can imagine Jake back at Earth kicking himself because he just realized he had sex with an other-wordly slut! XD
