Hinata: (Thinking and referring to Naruto) You were right. Neji: (Thinking) Annoying little pest. (Looks back at Hinata and sees that she is now determined to fight) Hinata: (Thinking) You were right, Naruto. Thank you.
Neji: Hinata, you are the pampered offspring of the Hyuga's main branch. Hinata: What? Neji: People can't change, no matter how hard they try. They can't run away from their true nature.
Kurenai: Very well then. I will take Hinata under my wing, but are you sure that's what you want. She is your firstborn and heir to your household. The life of a Genin can be dangerous and brief. Hiashi: Do what you will. She is of less worth than her sister five years her junior. The Hyuuga clan has no use for such an heir.
Neji: Before we fight, let me warn you about one thing, Hinata-sama. Give-up. You're not suited to become a ninja. You are too kind. You seek harmony and avoid trouble. And you just go along and follow someone else's idea. And... You have no self-confidence. You always feel inferior. That's why you thought it would be fine to remain a Genin. But you cannot register for the Chuunin Exam unless there are three people. You couldn't refuse the offers from Kiba and your teammate...And the truth is that you are taking this exam unwillingly. Am I wrong? ~Japanese version
Sakura: So it's a fight between relatives. It must be difficult for those two to fight. Lee: Yes, but... Sakura: What? Lee: But I believe that a lot of things happened between the Head Family and the Branch Family in the past...And they are not really on good terms with each other. ~Japanese version
Naruto: This medicine works so well. Here. Do you want to use it, too, Sakura-chan? Kakashi: Your about the only guy whose wounds heal that quickly, Naruto. The power of the Nine-Tails still amazes me. Hinata: Um... This is an ointment. Please use it on Kiba-kun and Akamaru. Kiba: You should be worrying about yourself and not others. ~Japanese version
Gai: The Hyuga way is to attack their opponent's internal organs and the chakra network through which the chakra flows.
Rock Lee: Of course! It is the Hyuga style. That's why their poses are the same. Sakura: The Hyuga Style? Rock Lee: It is the most effective type of taijutsu found in our village.
Kakashi: (Comparing Sharingan and Byakugan) But for sheer power of insight, the Byakugan is the stronger of the two.
Neji: A failure, will always be a failure.
Neji: Hinata, listen to me. Withdraw now. You know you were never meant to be a ninja.
Kiba: If they put you in with that guy from the Sand Village...you've got to forfeit the match. Same with Neji. Be smart and just walk away...trust me. He'll be merciless. He'll destroy you.
Neji: I never thought, that you and I would have to fight each other, Hinata. Hinata: Nor I, brother. Sakura: What did she call him?! Naruto: Brother?! So those two are brother and sister?! Kakashi: They're both descendants of the Hyuga Clan. One of the village's strongest clans. Not exactly brother and sister. Sakura: Ok. But they're related somehow, right? Kakashi: Yes. In the way that a branch is related to it's trunk of a great tree. They're more like cousins. Naruto: The trunk of a tree? Lee: Yes. Hinata was born into the Hyuga's main household, the head of the clan. While Neji's family is just a side branch of the clan.
(After Rock Lee discusses the purpose of the chakra network in the human body) Naruto: How'd you get to be so smart, Lee? Sakura: (angered) Idiot! How did you ever get to be a Genin!? (She whacks Naruto on the head) Naruto: Ow!
Neji: It's all futile, Hinata. You are what you are. Whether you admit it, or not, you already know. Naruto: That does it! Who are you to tell her who she can or can't be?! Go on, Hinata! Show this guy that he's wrong! Hinata: (Thinking) Naruto. Sakura: Huh? Lee: Huh? Kakashi: Hmm. Naruto: Hinata!!
Hinata: I... (Flashback to Naruto) Naruto: I won't run away! Hinata: I don't want to... (Flashback to Naruto) Naruto: I'm not going to take back my words. That's my way of the ninja. Hinata: .. run away anymore! Byakugan! ~Japanese version

A minor detail which correctly portrays their inward personalities is that when they first face off, Hinata stands with her feet point inward, towards each other while Neji stands with his feet pointing outward. Neji is proud and matter of fact while Hinata is shy and quiet. Perhaps a coincidence, but probably the benefit of the trained talent of a dedicated artist.
After Naruto's win against Kiba, they move to the next match between Hinata and Neji.
Byakugan means white eyes.
