Dialogue

[edit]
Settlers Chorus: [singing] In sixteen hundred seven (1607) / We sail the open sea / For glory, God and gold / And the Virginia Company / For the New World is like heaven / And we'll all be rich and free / Or so we have been told / By the Virginia Company / So we have been told / By the Virginia Company / For glory, God and gold / And the Virginia Company
Settlers: Ready to hoist the cannon? Aye!
Lon: Hey look. Is that Smith?
Ben: That's him, all right. The old sea dog.
Thomas: Captain John Smith? I've heard amazing stories about him.
Lon: [to John] Are you coming on this voyage, too?
Ben: Of course he is, you half-wit! You can't fight Indians without John Smith!
John Smith: That's right. I'm not about to let you boys have all the fun.
Settlers Chorus: [singing] On the beaches of Virginny / There's diamonds like debris / There's silver rivers flow / And gold you pick right off a tree / With a nugget for my Winnie / And another one for me / And all the rest'll go / To the Virginia Company / It's glory, God and gold / And the Virginia Company
Settler: Full anchor release!
Settler: Come on, lads, come on!
Settler: Give me a hand, someone!
Settler: Watch out!
Settler: Faster! She's taking up more water!
Settler: Look out!
Thomas: John! Get down here! The cannons are breaking loose!
John Smith: Reef the topsails!
Settler: Aye, sir!
John Smith: Steady on the course. It’s all right, Thomas. We'll get her tied off.
Settler: Say your prayers, lad!
Settler: Look out!
Settler: Oh no!
John Smith: Thomas, watch out!
Thomas: Help!
Settler in Crow's Nest: Man overboard!
Thomas: Help!
Ben: Stay your course. He's lost.
Thomas: Help!
John Smith: Pull the pin!
Settler: Aye, sir!
[John Smith jumps into the sea.]
Ben: Smith! Smith! Are you crazy?
John Smith: Hang on, Thomas. I've got you.
Lon: Quick, the rope!
Ben: Heave! Come on, lads, pull! Pull! Pull! Put your back into it!
Settler: Pull! Pull!
Lon: Hang on!
Settler: Yeah!
Ben: There, me lucky lad.
John Smith: Well, that was refreshing.
Lon: Well done, Smith.
John Smith: Of course. You'd all do the same for me.
Ben: Oh, sure, sure, of course we would.
Lon: Yes yes, yes. We would.
Ben: Absolutely.
Governor Ratcliffe: Trouble on deck?
Thomas: Governor Ratcliffe!
John Smith: Thomas fell overboard, sir.
Governor Ratcliffe: Thank heavens he's been successfully retrieved. Well done, Smith.
John Smith: Thank you, sir.
Governor Ratcliffe: Don't lose heart, men. It won't be long before we reach the New World, and remember what awaits us there: freedom—
Percy: [Bark.]
Governor Ratcliffe: Prosperity—
Percy: [Bark bark.]
Governor Ratcliffe: The adventure of our lives. You are the finest crew England has to offer and nothing, not wind nor rain nor a thousand bloodthirsty savages shall stand in our way. Carry on, men!
Settlers: [Cheer.]
Wiggins: A stirring oration sir. I'm sure the men were most exhilarated.
Governor Ratcliffe: Let us hope so. I’ll need those witless peasants to dig up my gold, won’t I?
[Cut to: Elsewhere on deck.]
Thomas: This New World's going to be great, John. I'm going to get a pile of gold, build me a big house and if any Indian tries to stop me, I’ll blast him.
John Smith: You just worry about that fortune of yours, Thomas. Leave the savages to me.
Lon: You think they'll give us much trouble?
Ben: Not as much trouble as Smith'll give them!
Settlers: [singing] We’ll kill ourselves an Injun
John Smith: [singing] Or maybe two or three
Settlers and John Smith: [singing] We're stalwart men and bold / Of the Virginia Company
Thomas: What do you suppose the New World will look like?
John Smith: Like all the others, I suppose. I've seen hundreds of new worlds, Thomas. What could be possibly different about this 1?
Settlers: [singing] It's glory, God and gold / And the Virginia company
Native Americans: [singing] Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega / Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega /Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega / Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega / Steady as the beating drum / Singing to the cedar flute / Seasons go and seasons come / Bring the corn and bear the fruit / By the waters sweet and clean / Where the mighty sturgeon lives / Plant the squash and reap the bean / All the earth our Mother gives / O Great Spirit, hear our song / Help us keep the ancient ways / Keep the sacred fire strong / Walk in balance all our days / Seasons go and seasons come / Steady as the beating drum / Plum to seed to bud to plum / Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega / Steady as the beating drum / Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega / Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega / Hega hega ya-hi-ye hega / Ya-hi-ye ne-he hega
Kekata: Ka-ma wingapo. Powhatan.
Powhatan: Ay-man-ay-cho, Kekata. It's good to be home. Chesk-cham-ay! The Massawomecks are defeated! With the help of our brothers, our villages are safe again!
Native Americans: [Cheer.]
Kekata: Your return has brought much joy to the village. Look at all the smiling faces.
Powhatan: Yes. But there is one smiling face I don't see. Where is my daughter?
Kekata: You know Pocahontas. She has her mother's spirit. She goes wherever the wind takes her.
Nakoma: Pocahontas! Your father's back! Come down here!
Pocahontas: He's back, Flit! Come on, Meeko.
Nakoma: No, not that... way.
[Pocahontas dives into the river.]
Nakoma: Show-off. Pocahontas? Pocahontas? Are you all right? Well, you better be all right because I’m not coming in after you...! [Coughs.] Don't you think we're getting a little old for these games?
Nakoma and Pocahontas: [Laugh.]
Pocahontas: Help me turn this thing over.
Nakoma: About the dream again? Oh, have you figured it out yet?
Pocahontas: I know it means something, I just don’t know what.
Nakoma: What were you doing up there?
Pocahontas: Thinking. Meeko!
Nakoma: You should ask your father about it.
Pocahontas: Maybe I should. Come on, Flit. Quit playing around, we have to get back.
Powhatan: ...faced a determined enemy. The battle lasted from the rising of the sun until the evening shadows fell. Our warriors fought with courage, but none as bravely as Kocoum. He attacked with the fierce strength of the bear. He has proven himself to be the greatest...
[Pocahontas and Nakoma are looking at Kocoum]
Nakoma: Oh, he is so handsome.
Powhatan: [off-screen] ...and the finest...
Pocahontas: [jokingly] I especially love his smile.
[Cut to a stone-faced Kocoum]
Powhatan: ...destroying every enemy in his path. Tonight we will feast in his honor.
Native Americans: [Cheer.]
Powhatan: My daughter.
Pocahontas: Wingapo, father.
Powhatan: Seeing you gives me great joy.
Pocahontas: I am so glad you’ve come home safely.
Powhatan: Come with me, we have much to talk about. I want to hear everything you’ve been doing.
Pocahontas: Father, for many nights now, I've been having a very strange dream. I think it's telling me something's about to happen, something exciting.
Powhatan: Yes, something exciting is about to happen.
Pocahontas: [eagerly] Really? What is it?
Powhatan: Kocoum has asked to seek your hand in marriage.
Pocahontas: [disappointed] Marry Kocoum?
[Flit nods in approval; Meeko, on the other hand, sticks out his tongue in disgust.]
Powhatan: I told him it would make my heart soar.
[Pocahontas smiles awkwardly, then peers through the hut's flap at Kocoum, who's refusing to play with the village children.]
Pocahontas: But he's so... serious.
Powhatan: My daughter, Kocoum will make a fine husband. He is loyal and strong, and will build you a good house, with sturdy walls. With him, you will be safe from harm.
Pocahontas: Father, I think my dream is pointing me down another path.
Powhatan: This is the right path for you.
Pocahontas: But why can't I choose--
Powhatan: Pocahontas, come with me. You are the daughter of the chief. It is time to take your place among our people. Even the wild mountain stream must someday join the big river. [singing] As the river cuts his path / Though the river's proud and strong / He will choose the smoothest course / [spoken] That's why rivers live so long. [singing] They're steady as the steady beating drum [spoken] Your mother wore this for our wedding. It was her dream to see you wear it at your own. It suits you.
Pocahontas: [spoken] He wants me to be steady... Like the river. But it's not steady at all. [singing] What I love most about rivers is / You can't step in the same river twice / The water's always changing, always flowing / But people, I guess, can't live like that / We all must pay a price / To be safe we lose our chance of ever knowing / What's around the riverbend / Waiting just around the riverbend / I look once more / Just about the riverbend / Beyond the shore / Where the gulls fly free / Don't know what for / What I dream the day might send / Just around the riverbend / For me / Coming for me / I feel it there beyond those trees / Or right behind these waterfalls / Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming? / For a handsome, sturdy husband / Who builds handsome, sturdy walls / And never dreams that something might be coming / Just around the riverbend / Just around the riverbend / I look once more / Just around the riverbend / Beyond the shore / Somewhere past the sea / Don't know what for / Why do all my dreams extend / Just around the riverbend / Just around the riverbend / Should I choose the smoothest course? / Steady as the beating drum / Should I marry Kocoum? / Is all my dreaming at an end? / Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver / Just around the riverbend?
Grandmother Willow: Is that my Pocahontas?
Pocahontas: Grandmother Willow, I need to talk to you.
Grandmother Willow: Good morning, child. I was hoping you'd visit today. Why, your mother's necklace!
Pocahontas: That's what I wanted to talk to you about. My father wants me to marry Kocoum.
Grandmother Willow: Kocoum? But he's so serious.
Pocahontas: I know. My father thinks it's the right path for me. But lately I've been having this dream and I think it's--
Grandmother Willow: Oh, a dream! Let's hear all about it!
Animals: [Chatter.]
Grandmother Willow: Quiet! Quiet!
Frog: [Ribbit.]
Grandmother Willow: Now, child, you were saying.
Pocahontas: Well, I'm running through the woods and then right there in front of me is an arrow. As I look at it, it starts to spin.
Grandmother Willow: A spinning arrow? How unusual.
Pocahontas: Yes! It spins faster and faster and faster until suddenly it stops.
Grandmother Willow: Hmm. Well, seems to me this spinning arrow is pointing you down your path.
Pocahontas: But Grandmother Willow, what is my path? How am I ever going to find it?
Grandmother Willow: [Chuckle.] Your mother asked me the very same question.
Pocahontas: She did? What did you tell her?
Grandmother Willow: I told her to listen. All around you are spirits, child. They live in the earth, the water, the sky. If you listen, they will guide you.
Wind Spirits: Ay ay ay na ay ay na
Pocahontas: I hear the wind.
Grandmother Willow: Yes, what is it telling you?
Pocahontas: I don't understand.
Grandmother Willow: Que que na-to-ra / You will understand / Listen with your heart / You will understand / Let it break upon you / Like a wave upon the sand
Pocahontas: It's saying something’s coming. Strange clouds?
Grandmother Willow: Listen with your heart / You will understand
Wind Spirits: You will understand
Grandmother Willow: What do you see?
Pocahontas: Clouds. Strange clouds.
Governor Ratcliffe: Look at it, Wiggins. An entire New World chock full of gold, just waiting for me.
Wiggins: And scores of adventures waiting for us, right, Percy? Do you think we'll meet some savages?
Governor Ratcliffe: If we do, we shall be sure to give them a proper English greeting.
Wiggins: Oooh, gift baskets! [holds up a pair of gift baskets]
Governor Ratcliffe: [to himself] And he came so highly recommended.
[John Smith enters.]
John Smith: It's perfect, Governor. The water's deep enough, we can pull right up to shore. Hey there, Percy.
Governor Ratcliffe: Very well, then. Give the order.
John Smith: Already done, sir. I've got a crew assembled and they're ready to go.
Governor Ratcliffe: About the natives, I'm counting on you to make sure those filthy heathens don't disrupt our mission.
John Smith: Well, if they're anything like the savages I've fought before, it's nothing I can't handle.
Governor Ratcliffe: Right. That'll be all, Smith, there's a good man.
John Smith: See ya, Percy.
Governor Ratcliffe: The men like Smith, don't they? I've never been a popular man.
Wiggins: I like you.
Governor Ratcliffe: And don't think I don't know what those backstabbers at court say about me.
Wiggins: Oh yes, all that talk about you being a pathetic social climber who's failed at everything he's--
Governor Ratcliffe: I'm very well aware that this is my last chance for glory. But mark my words, Wiggins, when King James see the gold these peasants unearth success will be mine, at last.
Ben: Wake up! Shake a leg!
Lon: It's incredible.
Thomas: And it's all ours. I've never seen anything like it.
Ben: It can look like Ratcliffe's knickers, for all I care, just as long as we get off this stinking boat.
John Smith: Come on, men, we didn't come all this way just to look at it.
[They row ashore as Pocahontas watches.]
Ben: Keep it taut, lads, keep it taut! Steady, steady.
Lon: Ah, that's far enough! All right now, tie her off.
Thomas: Here, John, tie up this end. John? John? What are you doing up there?
John Smith: Getting a better look. [Meeko bumps into him.] Hey! Well, you're a strange-looking fellow. You hungry? Here you go, it's a biscuit. It's food... Well, sort of. You like it, eh? Well, try eating it for four months straight. You got a friend back there? [Flit attacks him.] Hey, what, what, watch out! No... Get that... Look out!
Thomas: John! You better get down here! The Governor's coming ashore!
John Smith: All right, all right, I'm leaving.
Native American: Did you see their skin? Pale and sickly.
Native American: They have hair on their faces like dogs.
Powhatan: My brothers, we must know more about these visitors. Kekata, what do you see?
Kekata: [Chanting.] These are not men like us, but strange beasts with bodies that shine like the sun and weapons that spout fire and thunder. They prowl the earth like ravenous wolves consuming everything in their path.
Kocoum: Great Powhatan. I will lead our warriors to the river and attack. We will destroy these invaders the way we destroyed the Massawomecks.
Powhatan: Kocoum, in that battle we knew how to fight our enemy, but these pale visitors are strange to us. Take some men to the river to observe them. Let us hope they do not intend to stay.
Governor Ratcliffe: I hereby claim this land and all its riches in the name of His Majesty, King James the First, and do so name this settlement Jamestown.
Wiggins: Bravo! Bravo! Beautifully spoken, sir. [to Percy in the bath] Hurry now, Percy. We must be all squeaky clean for the New World.
Governor Ratcliffe: Captain Smith! It appears I've selected the perfect location, eh? Not a savage in sight.
John Smith: Just because we don't see them doesn't mean they're not out there, sir.
Governor Ratcliffe: Well then, perhaps you should venture forth and determine their whereabouts, hmm?
John Smith: If there are any Indians out there, I'll find them.
Governor Ratcliffe: Now, gentlemen, to work. You men, get the ship unloaded.
Settler: Right, sir.
Governor Ratcliffe: You men build the fort. The rest of you... Break out the shovels! It's time to start digging.
Ben and Lon: Digging?
Governor Ratcliffe: [spoken] Why, of course! Let's not forget what the Spanish found when they came to the New World. Gold, mountains of it. Why, for years they've been ravaging the New World of its most precious resources but now... It's our turn. [singing] The gold of Cortéz / The jewels of Pizarro / Will seem like mere trinkets / By this time tomorrow / The gold we find here / Will dwarf them by far / Oh, with all ya got in ya, boys / Dig up Virginia, boys / Mine, boys, mine, every mountain / And dig, boys, dig 'til ya drop / Grab a pick, boys / Quick, boys / Shove in a shovel / Uncover those lovely / Pebbles that sparkle and shine / It's gold / And it's mine, mine, mine
Settlers: [singing] Dig and dig and dig and diggety / Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig...
Wiggins: [singing] Hey nonny nonny / Ho nonny nonny
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] Ooh, how I love it
Wiggins: [singing] Hey nonny nonny / Ho nonny nonny
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] Riches for cheap
Wiggins: [singing] Hey nonny nonny / Ho nonny nonny
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] There'll be heaps of it / And I'll be on top of the heap / My rivals back home / It's not that I'm bitter / But think how they'll squirm / When they see how I glitter / The ladies in court / Will be all a-twitter / The king will reward me / He'll knight me / No! Lord me / It's mine, mine, mine / For the taking / It's mine, boys / Mine me that gold / With those nuggets dug / It's glory they'll give me / My dear friend King Jimmy / Will probably build me a shrine / When all of the gold / Is mine
Settlers: [singing] Dig and dig and dig and diggety / Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig
John Smith: [singing] All of my life I have searched for land like this one / A wilder more challenging country I couldn't design / Hundreds of dangers await and I don't plan to miss one / In a land I can claim, a land I can tame / The greatest adventure is mine
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] Keep on working, lads
John Smith: [singing] Mine
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] Don't be shirking, lads / Mine, boys, mine / Mine me that gold
Settlers: [singing] Dig, dig, and diggety
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] Beautiful gold
Settlers: [singing] Dig, dig, for that gold / Make this island / My land
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] Make the mounds big, boys / I'd help you to dig, boys / But I’ve got this crick in me spine
John Smith: [singing] This land we behold
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] This beauty untold
John Smith: [singing] A man can be bold
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] It all can be sold
Settlers: [singing] So go for the gold / We know which is here
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] Is
Settlers: [singing] All the riches here
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] Mine
Settlers: [singing] From this minute
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] Mine
Settlers: [singing] This land and what's in it is
All: [singing] Mine
Settlers: [singing] Dig and dig and diggety-dig / Hey nonny nonny, it's mine
John Smith: No! Wait! Please... Please! Don't run off. It's all right. I'm not going to hurt you. Here. Let me help you out of there.
Pocahontas: Ma-ta-que-na-to-rath.
John Smith: You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you? [pauses out] It's all right.
[Pocahontas provides her hair, she will make it cover up to John's hand]
Grandmother Willow (voice off): [singing] Listen with your heart you will understand. Let it break upon you like a wave upon the sand.
John Smith: Who are you?
Grandmother Willow (voice off): [singing] Listen with your heart, you will understand.
[Pocahontas begin to close her eyes to listen to your heart; but now she open her eyes reflect]
Pocahontas: Pocahontas.
John Smith: What? What do you just say?
Pocahontas: My name is Pocahontas.
[Meeko and Flit, they both looking each other symbolizing]
John Smith: I'm John Smith.
[Fade to the digging site. Kocoum and his comrades are watching the settlers closely, their digging has yielded no results, but Governor Ratcliffe, urges them on, certain that the gold they are searching for is around somewhere]
Governor Ratcliffe: That's it. Keep at it, men. Keep digging. It has to be here somewhere.
[One of Kocoum's friends whistles to him and holds up three fingers, meaning that he has counted 30 more settlers in his quadrant. The Native American warrior is beginning to doubt his earlier statement about being able to take them all on easily]
Native American Warrior #1: There's thirty more of them, down by the ridge.
Kocoum: That makes more than a hundred!
Governor Ratcliffe: [holding a plate and a chicken drumstick] Anything yet?
Thomas: Nothing but rocks and dirt, sir.
Lon: Um, how long are we going to keep digging like this, sir?
Ben: [climbing out of his hole] Aye, we're slaving apart, busting our backs day and night--
Governor Ratcliffe: [interrupting] For king and country. I know, I know, and I share your fatigue. [takes a bite of his drumstick, clearly not enjoying it] Wiggins? Wiggins!
[As Governor Ratcliffe calls Wiggins' name, we see him making a topiary sculpture of an elephant, bear, giraffe and unicorn walking in a line]
Wiggins: [snips the last branch off the unicorn's nose] Coming!
Governor Ratcliffe: [evilly gives Wiggins the drumstick] Dispose of this.
Wiggins: [waves it in Percy's face] Uh-huh. Who's a good doggie, huh? Who's a good doggie? [the pug just sighs annoyingly, and he throws the drumstick] Fetch, boy!
[Meanwhile, the chicken drumstick misses one of the Native Americans hiding in the bushes. He pokes his head out to see who threw it and is spotted by Percy, who lets out a loud, anguished shriek and runs away]
Governor Ratcliffe: [panicked] Savages! It's an ambush! Arm yourselves!
Wiggins: Run! [ducks behind the topiary sculpture he carved and falls to the ground, teeth chattering in fear]
Governor Ratcliffe: Arm yourselves!
[Meanwhile, Governor Ratcliffe and the other settlers in all directions, grabbing some loaded guns to defend themselves]
Governor Ratcliffe: Make sure every man has a musket! Shoot! [Thomas runs past him, but accidentally trips on a log and his gun goes off, narrowly missing Governor Ratcliffe and hitting a water barrel] Them, you idiot!
[Thomas looks over his shoulder at a ticked off Governor Ratcliffe, afraid he has already messed up. The other settlers fire their weapons, barely missing Kocoum and his companions. Seeing this as a challenge, they pull their bows taut and fire their arrows in retaliation. As this goes on, Percy runs for shelter under a helmet as an arrow bounces away from it]
Governor Ratcliffe: Where's that blasted Smith if I need him?
[1 of the Indian warriors, Namontack, takes refuge in a tree and gets ready to shoot at Governor Ratcliffe, but he evilly spots him there. He angrily fires a shot at Namontack. He groans as the bullet hits him in the leg and flops to the ground, yelling in pain]
Kocoum: [drops his bow and runs to him] Namontack!
[As Namontack looks up, he sees Ben about to angrily do him away. But just as he gets close, Kocoum intercepts him. The two strain for a bit before the former kicks the latter apart as Lon and Roy fire off their guns twice more. Luckily for Kocoum, the projectiles miss as he picks up his fallen friend]
Kocoum: Back to the village!
[Kocoum carries Namontack away, hopefully to get complete medical treatment. The settlers all cheer at their supposed victory, but Governor Ratcliffe does not join in, certain he hasn't actually won]
Governor Ratcliffe: Shut up. Shut up, you fools! They'll be back. [As the cheering continues, Wiggins pokes his head out of the topiary, which has several parts shot apart and arrows stuck in it as a result of the fight] Everyone, back to camp. Get the rest of the cannons ashore and finish building the fort!
Ben: Aye, Governor.
Governor Ratcliffe: [angrily turns to Thomas] And you! Learn to use that thing properly. A man's not a man unless he knows how to shoot.
Kekata: [Chanting.]
Powhatan: These beasts invade our shores, and now this.
Kekata: [Chanting.] This wound is strange to me.
Powhatan: We will fight this enemy, but we cannot do it alone. Kocoum, send messengers to every village in our nation. We will call on our brothers to help us fight. [Steps outside the tent.] These White Men are dangerous! No one is to go near them.
[Pocahontas looking a John's Helmet himself]
John Smith: It's called a helmet.
Pocahontas: Helmet.
[Flit tap it his Helmet, looks shocked and scares away]
John Smith: So... what river is this?
Pocahontas: Quiyoughcohannock..
John Smith: You have the most unusual names here, Chechomony, Quiyoughcohannock, Pocahontas.
Pocahontas: You have a most unusual name too... John Smith.
John Smith: Hey! [about Meeko eating his hardtacks] Is this bottomless pit a friend of yours?
Pocahontas: Meeko.
John Smith: Well how do you do, Meeko? [goes to shake Meeko's hand] It's all right, it's just a hand shake. Here let me show you. [Long pauses out]
Pocahontas: Nothing's happenin'.
John Smith: No. No, I need your hand first. [She holds her hand out and he shakes it] It's how we say hello.
Pocahontas: This is how we say hello. Wingapo.
John Smith: Wingapo.
Pocahontas: And how we say goodbye. Ana.
John Smith: I like hello better. [Flit they start breaking off each hand, Flit an goring to him] Yeah, I remember you.
Pocahontas: Flit doesn't like strangers.
John Smith: But I'm not a stranger anymore. Stubborn little fellow, isn't he?
Pocahontas: Very stubborn.
John Smith: Hey!
[Meeko grabs a compass in the bag, and running off]
Pocahontas: Meeko! Come back here.
John Smith: Don't worry, he can't hurt it. [Meeko tap a compass on the rock] Hey!
[John tries grab his compass and Meeko climb in the tree]
Pocahontas: Meeko, bring that back!
John Smith: No, it's all right. He can keep it. Call it a gift.
Pocahontas: [about compass] What was that?
John Smith: My compass.
Pocahontas: Compassed?
John Smith: It tells you how to find your way when you get lost. It's all right. I'll get another in London.
Pocahontas: London? Is that your village?
John Smith: Yes. It's a very big village.
Pocahontas: What's it like?
John Smith: [about London village] Well, it's got streets filled with carriages, bridges over the rivers, and buildings as tall as trees.
Pocahontas: I'd like to see those things.
John Smith: You will.
Pocahontas: How?
John Smith: We're going to build them here. We'll show your people how to use this land of properly. How to make the most of it.
Pocahontas: [confused] Make the most of it?
John Smith: Yes. We'll build roads and decent houses.
Pocahontas: [about the Indian's village] Our houses are fine.
John Smith: [sarcastically] You think that only because you don't know any better. [Pocahontas angrily walks off, Flit attack away for him] Wait a minute. Don't take it that. Hey! Wait! [after Pocahontas stopping the her canoe] Wait! There's so much we can teach you. We've improved lives of savages all over the world.
Pocahontas: Savages?
John Smith: Uh, not that you're a savage.
Pocahontas: Just my people!
John Smith: No. Listen. That's not what I meant. Let me explain.
Pocahontas: Let go!
John Smith: No, I'm not letting you leave. [Pocahontas jumps out of her canoe and climbs up into a tree] Look, don't do this. Savage is just a word, uh, you know. A term for people who are uncivilized.
Pocahontas: Like me.
John Smith: Well, when I say uncivilized, What I mean is, is...
[He grabs a branch, but the branch is not strong enough to hold his weight, and John falls back to the ground. Pocahontas jumps down after him]
Pocahontas: [spoken] What you mean is, not like you. [singing] You think I'm an ignorant savage, and you've been so many places / I guess it must be so / but still I cannot see, if the savage one is me / How can there be so much that you don't know? You don't know...| You think you own whatever land you land on, the Earth is just dead thing you can claim / But I know every rock and tree and creature has a life, has a spirit, has a name / You think the only people who are people are the people who look and think like you / But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you'll learn things you never knew, you never knew...| Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon, or asked the grinning bobcat whey he grinned? / Can you sing with all voices of the mountains? / Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind...| Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest, come taste the sun-sweet berries of the Earth / Come roll in all the riches all around you, and for once, never wonder what they're worth / The rainstorm and the river are my brothers / The heron and the otter are my friends / And we are all connected to each other / In a circle, in a hoop that never ends!| How high does the sycamore grow? / If you cut it down, then you'll never know! / And you'll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon, for whether we are white or copper skinned / We need to sing with all voices of the mountains, can you paint with all the colors of the wind... You can own the Earth and still all you'll own is Earth, until you can paint with all the colors of the wind... [they hearing drums]
John Smith: What is it?
Pocahontas: The drums. They mean trouble. I shouldn't be here.
John Smith: I want to see you again.
Pocahontas: I can't.
John Smith: Please, don't leave.
Pocahontas: I'm sorry. I have to go. [she runs off back to her canoe and John sadly watch her, Meeko and Flit left then fades to black]
Ben: Alright! This one's ready to hoist!?
Lon: Two on each side. Ready now? Push! Watch it! It's slipping!
Ben: [John, Thomas, Lon pushing the fence] Come on, lads, it's only a little picket fence.
Lon: [Meeko climbs the fence] Steady! Steady!
Ben: There you go.
Thomas: That'll keep everything out, eh, John? [John digs a shovel] Something wrong, John?
John Smith: What?!
Thomas: You've been quiet the last few days.
Lon: [to John] Oh, he's just mad he missed all the action.
Thomas: Ah, don't worry, John. You'll get your chance to deal with Indians.
Lon: Yeah. We'll take care of them, like we did last time, eh, mates? [singing] We shot ourselves an injun, or maybe two or three.
Ben: [angrily kicks him] All right, you howling nutter! Get to work!
Lon: Come on, Ben, it's just just a little fun.
Ben: [sarcastically] Oh, sure, we're having loads of fun. Right, look at us. No gold, no food, while Ratcliffe sits up in his tent all day happy as a clam.
Governor Ratcliffe: [in his tent] I'm doomed! I should be wallowing in riches right now, and I haven't found as much as a speck! [Meeko sniffing to sees Percy] Think. Think! It's got to be around somewhere. Where could it be? [Percy is seen playing with a merry-go-round that has dog biscuits, Percy begin to eat the biscuits, but then he notices Meeko eating them.] I've mined the forests and the hills and the swamps... and NOTHING! [Percy begins to chase Meeko away without Governor Ratcliffe even noticing] Why can't I find it?! What am I overlooking?!
[He turns around and is shocked it to Wiggins apparently shot through the head with an arrow]
Wiggins: I... I... [he takes off his headband, made from an native's arrow] I made it myself!
Governor Ratcliffe: [snatches it off his head] Take that silly...! [looking at the arrow] Of course. The Indians. Wiggins, why do you think those insolent heathens attacked us?
Wiggins: Because we invaded their land and cut down their trees and dug up their earth?
Governor Ratcliffe: It's the gold! They have it, and they don't want us to take it from them. Well, I'll just have to take it by force then, won't I?
[Ben and Lon tired, When Governor Ratcliffe comes looking John Smith has disappeared.]
Governor Ratcliffe: You there! Where's Captain Smith?
Lon: Well, he's... gone.
Ben: Ay, your singing must have scared him off.
Governor Ratcliffe: Well then go get him, for heaven's sake!
Lon: What if we run into the Indians?
Governor Ratcliffe: That's what guns are for! Now arm yourselves and get moving!
Powhatan: Pocahontas, you should be inside the village.
Pocahontas: We'll be all right.
Nakoma: We're gathering food for when the warriors arrive.
Powhatan: Don't go far. Now is not the time to be running off.
Pocahontas: Yes, father!
Powhatan: When I see you wear that necklace, you look just like your mother.
Pocahontas: I miss her.
Powhatan: But she is still with us. Whenever the wind moves through the trees, I feel her presence. Our people looked to her for wisdom and strength. Someday, they will look to you as well.
Pocahontas: I would be honored by that.
Powhatan: You shouldn't be out there alone. I'll send for Kocoum.
Nakoma: All right. What is it?
Pocahontas: What?
Nakoma: You're hiding something.
Pocahontas: I'm not hiding anything.
Nakoma: Pocahontas, you can tell me. I promise, I won't tell anyone. [sees John Smith coming; Nakoma gasps] Pocahontas, look! [Flit flies to John, but he hold hardtack and tap to Flit on the ground in cornfield] It's one of them! I'm going to get-
Pocahontas: [thrusts her hand over Nakoma's mouth] What are you doing here?
John Smith: I had to see you again.
Kocoum: Pocahontas! Pocahontas?!
Pocahontas: [to Nakoma] Please, don't say anything. [to John] Quick, this way!
Nakoma: But-
Kocoum: Nakoma, where is Pocahontas?
Nakoma: I-I haven't seen her.
Kocoum: Pocahontas can't keep running off. It's dangerous out there. Tell her that. She listens to you.
Nakoma: [sarcastically to himself] Huh. Sure she does.
John Smith: This place is incredible! And to think, we came all this way just to dig it up for gold.
Pocahontas: Gold?
John Smith: Hey, Meeko.
Pocahontas: What’s gold?
John Smith: You know, it's... It's yellow, comes out of the ground, it's really valuable.
Pocahontas: Oh, here, we've lots of it. [Takes out an ear of corn.] Gold.
John Smith: No... Gold is this. [Takes out a gold coin.]
Pocahontas: Hmm, there's nothing like that around here.
John Smith: No gold?
Pocahontas: Not that I've seen.
John Smith: [Laughs.] All this way for nothing. Those boys are in for a big surprise.
Pocahontas: Will they leave?
John Smith: Some of them might.
Pocahontas: Will you go home?
John Smith: Well, it's not like I have much of a home to go back to. I've never really belonged anywhere.
Pocahontas: You could belong here.
[Later on, Pocahontas leads John Smith to Grandmother Willow, but she appears and she disappears]
John Smith: [shocked] What was that?
Pocahontas: Do you see something?
John Smith: [nervous] No, no. I just, uh, I... [she nowhere to be seen] I didn't see anything. Did I?
Pocahontas: Look again.
Grandmother Willow: [she appears; singing] Let it break upon you, like a wave upon the sand. [spoken] Hello, John Smith.
John Smith: [nervously] Pocahontas, that tree is talking to me.
Pocahontas: Then you should talk back.
Grandmother Willow: Don't be frightened, young man. My bark is worse than my bite.
Pocahontas: Say something.
John Smith: What do you say to a tree?
Pocahontas: Anything you want.
John Smith: [gets closer to Grandmother Willow] So, uhh...
Grandmother Willow: Come closer, John Smith. [she inspects him] He has a good soul. And he's handsome, too.
John Smith: Oh, I like her.
Pocahontas: I knew you would.
Ben: [they shocked it] Smith! Smith, where are you mate?
John Smith: We can't let them see us.
Grandmother Willow: [they hiding in the glade on our side] Quick! Over here!
Lon: This place gives me the creeps. Savages could be hiding anywhere.
Ben: Ay, well, if you spot one, don't ask questions. Just shoot.
[Ben and Lon clumsily trip over Grandmother Willow's root]
Ben: Watch your feet, ya big oaf!
Lon: It wasn't me! It was the tree!
Ben: Oh, of course. The tree just felt like lifting its roots and... [sees the tree root out of the ground; it drops back in the earth] Let's get out of here!
[Grandmother Willow angrily whips them both with her vines to Ben and Lon]
Ben: Run!
[they cowardly rush away]
Lon: But what about Smith?
Ben: He's a big lad! He can take care of himself!
John Smith: I'm glad you're on our side.
Grandmother Willow: There's still some snap in these old vines.
John Smith: I better get back before they send the whole camp after me.
Pocahontas: When will I see you again?
John Smith: Meet me tonight, right here.
Grandmother Willow: Well, I haven't had this much excitement in 200 years.
Pocahontas: What am I doing? I shouldn't be seeing him again. I mean, I want to see him again--
Grandmother Willow: Who wouldn't? I want to see him again.
Pocahontas: But still, something inside is telling me it’s the right thing.
Grandmother Willow: Perhaps it's your dream.
Pocahontas: My dream? Do you think he’s the one the spinning arrow was pointing to?
Grandmother Willow: Mm-hmm!
Native American: The warriors are here!
[Pocahontas arrives.]
Nakoma: Pocahontas, are you crazy? What were you doing with one of them?
Kocoum: There you are!
Pocahontas: Kocoum!
Kocoum: [to Pocahontas and Nakoma] Look at them. Now we have enough warriors to destroy those white demons!
[Powhatan with another tribal chieftain]
Powhatan: Now that we are joined by our brothers, we will defeat this enemy.
[Pocahontas walks off by Kocoum and Nakoma, she talk to Father, but she near them the warriors]
Pocahontas: Father, I need to speak with you.
Powhatan: Not now, my daughter. The council is gathering.
Pocahontas: [about the settlers] We don't have to fight them! There must be a better way.
Powhatan: Sometimes our paths are chosen for us.
Pocahontas: But maybe we should try talking to them.
Powhatan: They do not want to talk.
Pocahontas: But if one of them did want to talk, you would listen to him, wouldn't you?
Powhatan: Pocahontas...
Pocahontas: [desperately] Wouldn't you?!
Powhatan: Of course I would. But it is not that simple. Nothing is simple anymore.
John Smith: Easy, Thomas. It's me.
Thomas: Oh, John! I could've killed you!
John Smith: Not aiming like that, you couldn't. Keep both eyes open when you shoot. You'll see twice as well.
Ben: Smith! There ya are!
Lon: We were looking all over for you.
Governor Ratcliffe: Smith! Where have you been?
John Smith: I was out scouting the terrain, sir.
Governor Ratcliffe: Excellent. Then you must know the Indians' whereabouts. We'll need that information for the battle.
John Smith: What battle?
Governor Ratcliffe: We will eliminate these savages once and for all.
John Smith: No! You can't do that!
Governor Ratcliffe: Oh? Can't I?
John Smith: Look, we don’t have to fight them.
Thomas: John, what's gotten into you?
John Smith: I met one of them.
Ben: You what?
Thomas: A savage?
John Smith: They're not savages, they can help us. They know the land, they know how to navigate the rivers. And, look! It’s food!
Lon: What is it?
John Smith: It's better than hardtack and gruel, that’s for sure.
Wiggins: I like gruel.
Governor Ratcliffe: They don't want to feed us, you ninnies! They want to kill us! All of us! They've got our gold, and they'll do anything to keep it!
John Smith: But there is no gold!
Ben: No... gold?
Governor Ratcliffe: And I suppose your little Indian friend told you this.
John Smith: Yes.
Governor Ratcliffe: Lies! Lies, all of it! Murderous thieves, there’s no room for their kind in civilized society.
John Smith: But this is their land!
Governor Ratcliffe: This is my land! I make the laws here. And I say anyone so much as looks at an Indian without killing him on sight, will be tried for treason and hanged.
[Pocahontas is foolishly sneaking out of the village to see John. Nakoma catches her.]
Nakoma: Pocahontas!
Pocahontas: Nakoma!
Nakoma: Don't go out there. I lied for you once. Don't ask me to do it again.
Pocahontas: I have to do this.
Nakoma: He's one of them!
Pocahontas: You don't know him.
Nakoma: If you go out there, you'll be turning your back on your own people.
Pocahontas: I'm trying to help my people.
Nakoma: Pocahontas, please. You're my best friend. I don't want you to get hurt.
Pocahontas: I won't. I know what I'm doing.
Nakoma: Pocahontas, no!
[Pocahontas runs off.]
Ben: Ratcliffe wouldn't take us halfway 'round the world for nothing.
Lon: But what if Smith is right? What if there is no gold?
Settler: If you ask me, Ratcliffe's been lying to us since we left London.
Ben: Listen to you, you bunch of idiots! Those savages didn't attack us for nothing. They're hiding something.
Lon: If they do have the gold, I reckon we'll have to fight them.
[Thomas sees John Smith sneaking off to meet Pocahontas at Grandmother Willow's Glade, Governor Ratcliffe appears behind him and pushes him out of the camp]
Governor Ratcliffe: Follow him.
Thomas: Yes, Governor.
Governor Ratcliffe: I want to know where he's sneaking off to.
Thomas: Yes, sir.
Governor Ratcliffe: And if you see any Indians, shoot them. Oh, and Thomas? You've been a slipshod sailor and a poor excuse for a soldier. Don't disappoint me again.
[Cut to the Powhatan village, Kocoum's hut. He is using a stone to sharpen a knife until Nakoma comes up to him]
Nakoma: Kocoum.
Kocoum: [turns toward her] What is it?
Nakoma: It's Pocahontas.
Kocoum: [worried] What's wrong? [standing up] Is she all right? [Nakoma pauses for a moments, as she suddenly feels that she's making a big mistake, but decides to warn Kocoum anyhow]
Nakoma: I think she's in trouble. [Cut to Grandmother Willow's glade. Pocahontas runs straight inside as fast as she can. Several squirrels scurry all over the ancient tree's face]
Grandmother Willow: The earth is trembling, child. What just happened?
Pocahontas: The warriors are here.
[Suddenly, John runs up to him to report what just happened on the end]
John Smith: Pocahontas!
Pocahontas: John!
John Smith: Listen to me. My men are planning to attack your people. You have to warn them.
Pocahontas: Maybe it's not too late to stop this. You have to come with me and talk to my father. [Pocahontas pulls John Smith along, but he stops her]
John Smith: Pocahontas, talking isn't going to do any nice. I already tried talking to my men, but everything about this land has them spooked. [Suddenly, a muffled howl turns their attention towards the woods. It is revealed to be Percy, yet stuck in the log from earlier. He spins around clumsily]
Grandmother Willow: That's the strangest creature I've ever seen!
[At that moment, Percy clumsily loses his balance and trips. He rolls down a hill and flies through a tree, dislodging him from the log, eventually landing upside-down in John Smith's hands]
John Smith: Percy?
[Meeko, seeing Percy, grins hesitantly. The pug, remembering the food the raccoon stole from him, growls frustratingly and angrily lunges at him]
John Smith: Easy, Percy. Come here!
Pocahontas: Meeko, come back!
John Smith: You see what I mean? Once two sides will to fight, nothing can stop them.
Pocahontas: Come-come here, both of you!
John Smith: It's alright, it's alright. He's a friend. Bad...bad dog! Sit!
[Flit laughs at Meeko's predicament, but the latter grabs him and uses him like a sword]
Pocahontas: What are you doing here? Meeko!
John Smith: Percy, get back here! What are you doing here? Stop that!
[Meeko climbs into Grandmother Willow's branches, leaving Percy barking]
Grandmother Willow: Alright, that's enough!
[Percy, alarmed at the sentient tree before him, lets out a frightened whine and faints, landing in the pond. Grandmother Willow fishes him out with a vine and places him in front of her]
Grandmother Willow: It's enough to make your sap boil. Now then, there's something I want to show you. Look.
[Grandmother Willow lowers a branch into the water and makes ripples in the pond]
Pocahontas: The ripples.
John Smith: What about them?
Grandmother Willow: So small at first, then look how they grow. But someone has to start them.
John Smith: They're not going to listen to us.
Grandmother Willow: Young man, sometimes the right path is not the easiest one. [raises one of her roots and slides John Smith down to Pocahontas] Don't you see? Only when the fighting stops can you be together. [John Smith takes Pocahontas' hands and thinks for a moment. In no time, he agrees with her decision to speak to her father to try and reason with him]
[Pocahontas gently smiles in agreement.]
John Smith: All right. Let's go talk to your father.
[Pocahontas takes John Smith in her arms, and they embrace each other.]
[Pocahontas and John embrace, then kiss. Kocoum and Thomas are watching.]
Kocoum: [War cry.]
Pocahontas: [Gasp.]
[Kocoum attacks John.]
Pocahontas: Kocoum, no! Kocoum! Leave him alone! [Gasps.] Kocoum, stop!
[Thomas loads his gun.]
Thomas: Both eyes open.
[Thomas shoots. Kocoum falls He grabs hold of Pocahontas' necklace. It shatters into tiny pieces and he lands in the lake.]
Pocahontas: [Gasp.]
John Smith: Thomas!
Thomas: Is he...?
Pocahontas: You killed him.
Thomas: I thought that--
Pocahontas: Get away from him!
John Smith: Pocahontas, it won’t help! He was only--
Pocahontas: He killed him!
Native American Warriors: [Shouting.]
John Smith: Thomas, get out of here. Get out of here!
[Thomas exits. John is captured.]
Powhatan: Who did this?
Native American Warrior: Pocahontas was out in the woods. Kocoum went to find her and this white man attacked them.
Powhatan: Your weapons are strong. But now our anger is stronger. At sunrise he will be the 1st (time hope) to died!
Pocahontas: But, father!
Powhatan: I told you to stay in the village, you disobey me, you have shame your father.
Pocahontas: [tearfully] I was only trying to help.
Powhatan: Because of your foolishness, Kocoum is DEAD. Take him away. [Exits.]
Pocahontas: Kocoum was just coming to protect me.
Nakoma: Pocahontas, I sent Kocoum after you. I was worried about you. I thought I was doing the right thing.
Pocahontas: All of this happened because of me... And now I'll never see John Smith again.
Nakoma: Come with me. Pocahontas wants to look into the eyes of the man who killed Kocoum.
Native American Warrior: Be quick. [Pocahontas enters tent.]
John Smith: Pocahontas.
Pocahontas: I'm so sorry.
John Smith: For what, this? I've gotten out of worse scrapes than this. Can't think of any right now, but...
Pocahontas: It would've been better if we'd never met, none of this would've happened.
John Smith: Pocahontas, look at me. I'd rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you.
[Nakoma looks into tent.]
Nakoma: Pocahontas.
Pocahontas: I can't leave you.
John Smith: You never will. No matter what happens to me, I'll always be with you. Forever.
[Pocahontas exits.]
Thomas: Help! Somebody, help! Help! Help!
Lon: Easy, lad. What is it?
Thomas: It's Smith! They got him!
Ben: Who got him?
Thomas: The savages!
Settler: Savages?
Thomas: They captured him, dragged him off!
Ben: Where'd they take him?
Thomas: They headed North!
Lon: How many were there?
Thomas: I don't know, at least a dozen.
Ben: Filthy beasts!
Governor Ratcliffe: It's perfect, Wiggins! I couldn't have planned this better myself. The gold is as good as mine!
Thomas: We've got to save him! He'd do the same for any of us.
Ben: Thomas is right! We've got to do something.
Governor Ratcliffe: And so we shall! I told you those savages couldn't be trusted. Smith tried to befriend them, and look what they've done to him. But now I say it's time to rescue our courageous comrade. At daybreak, we attack!
Settlers: [cheering]
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] What can you expect / From filthy little heathens / Here's what you get when races are diverse / Their skin's a hellish red / They’re only good when dead / They're vermin as they said and worse / They're

All: [singing] Savages, savages
Governor Ratcliffe: [spoken] Now it's up to you, men
All: [singing] Savages, savages / Barely even human / Now we sound the drums of war
Pocahontas: They're going to kill him at sunrise, Grandmother Willow.
Grandmother Willow: You have to stop them.
Pocahontas: I can't.
Grandmother Willow: Child, remember your dream?
Pocahontas: I was wrong, Grandmother Willow. I followed the wrong path. I feel so lost. [Meeko gives her John's compass.] The compass? Spinning arrow!
Grandmother Willow: It's the arrow from your dream!
Pocahontas: I was right! It was pointing to him. [Sunlight hits her face.] Sunrise!
Grandmother Willow: It's not too late, child. Let the spirits of the earth guide you! You know your path, child... Now follow it!
Governor Ratcliffe: [singing] This will be the day / [spoken] Let's go, men!
[Cut to: Exterior, Powhatan village, morning.]

[John Smith is about to be executed by Powhatan. Pocahontas bravely throws herself on top of John to protect him.]
Pocahontas: No! If you kill him, you'll have to kill me too.
Powhatan: Daughter, stand back.
Pocahontas: I won't! I love him, Father. Look around you! This is where the path of hatred has brought us. This is the path I choose, Father. What will yours be?
[Powhatan looks at the two armies, both ready to fight. Suddenly, the wind blows across the battlefield, calming him and almost everybody else. He raises his staff and addresses the crowd.]
Powhatan: My daughter speaks with the wisdom beyond her years. We have all come here with anger in our hearts. But she comes with courage and understanding. From this day forward, if there is to be more killin', it will not start with me. Release him.
[the settlers and the tribes lowered down their weapons, cut to Governor Ratcliffe who then rejects the offer]
Governor Ratcliffe: Now's our chance! [draws sword] Fire!
Thomas: No!
Governor Ratcliffe: What!?
Thomas: They let him go!
Ben: They don't want to fight!
Governor Ratcliffe: It's a trick! Don't you see!? FIRE!!! [The Englishmen scowl at him. Governor Ratcliffe wavers for a moment, then throws his sword to the ground and grabs a musket] Fine! I'll settle this myself!
[He aims at Powhatan; John Smith notices.]
John Smith: NO!
[John Smith jumps in front of Powhatan; Governor Ratcliffe fires; the bullet hits John Smith and he falls down, wounded]
Thomas: John! [to Governor Ratcliffe as Pocahontas rushes to John Smith's side] You shot him!
Governor Ratcliffe: [dumbfounded] He stepped right... right into it! It's his own fault!
[The Englishmen furiously surround Governor Ratcliffe]
Ben: Smith was right all along!
Lon: We never should have listened to you!
Ben: Get the gun! [The men swarm over Governor Ratcliffe and restrain him]
Governor Ratcliffe: Traitors! Unhand me, I say! How dare you!
Thomas: [grabs the gun from Governor Ratcliffe] Put him in chains!
Governor Ratcliffe: I'll see you all HANGED for this!
Thomas: And gag him as well! [Thomas looks up at John as Pocahontas and Chief Powhatan tend him worried rushes to him]
Ben: Is he going to make it, Thomas?
Thomas: The sooner he gets back to England, the better.
Lon: Well, let's hope the wind is with him.
Thomas: Is the ship ready yet?
Ben: Any minute now. Just loading the last bit of cargo. [Governor Ratcliffe, tied up in chains and gagged, is tossed into a longboat]
Governor Ratcliffe: [muffled] How dare you! Untie me at once! I'LL HAVE YOUR HEADS FOR THIS!!!
Wiggins: [sadly sniffles] And he came so highly recommended. [sighs]
Thomas: [to John on the longboat] The ships almost ready. We'd better get you on board. We'll lose the tide.
John Smith: [hold Thomas to stop] No, not yet. She said she'd be here.
Thomas: [as sees the Indians] Look. [as Pocahontas comes over to white demons; the Indians are put the ear corn bag on the ground, she's walks to Englishmen approaches, and sees John to be okay]
Thomas: [to Pocahontas] Going back is his only chance. He'll die if he stays here.
Pocahontas: [kneels beside John and offers him a bag] Here. It's from Grandmother Willow's bark. It'll help with the pain.
John Smith: What pain? I've had worse pain than this. [winces] Agh! Can't think of any right now, but...
Powhatan: [walks over] You are always welcome among our people. Thank you, my brother.
John Smith: [to Flit] I thought you didn't like strangers.
[Meeko, Percy and Flit to gives a fixing a Mother's necklace to Pocahontas by Kocoum]
Pocahontas: My mother's necklace.
John Smith: See ya, Percy.
John Smith: Come with me?
[Pocahontas looks over at her father.]
Powhatan: You must choose your own path.
[Pocahontas looks at her people and the settlers. She turns to John Smith.]
Pocahontas: [with tears in her eyes] I'm needed here.
John Smith: Then, I'll stay with you.
Pocahontas: No. You have to go back.
John Smith: But I can't leave you.
Pocahontas: You never will. No matter what happens, I'll always be with you, forever.
[They kiss goodbye.]
Lon: Good luck, lad.
Thomas: Godspeed, John.
Sailors: The crew a-ready? Aye, sir! Set the mainsails. Weigh anchor! Let go of the topgallants!

[edit]
[John Smith is imprisoned after Kocoum's death.]
Pocahontas: I'm so sorry.
John Smith: For what? This? I've gotten out of worse scrapes than this. Can't think of any right now, but...
Pocahontas: It would have been better if we'd never met. None of this would've happened.
John Smith: [spoken] Pocahontas, look at me. [she obeys] I'd rather die tomorrow that live a hundred years without knowing you. [singing] If I never knew you / If I never felt this love / I would have no inkling of how precious life can be / If I never knew you / I would never have a clue / How at last I'd find in you / The missing part of me / In this world so full of fear / Full of rage and lies / I can see the truth so clear / In your eyes / So dry your eyes / And I'm so grateful to you / I'd have lived my whole life through / Lost forever / If I never knew you
Pocahontas: [singing] I thought our love would be so beautiful / Somehow we'd make the whole world bright / I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong / All they'd leave us were these whispers in the night / But still my heart is saying we were right / For if I never knew you
John Smith: There's no moment I regret / Since the moment that we met / If I time has gone too fast / I've lived at last...
Pocahontas: [singing] If I never knew this love / I would have no inkling of / If I precious can be...
Nakoma: [spoken] [peering in through the tent flap] Pocahontas.
Pocahontas: I can't leave you.
John Smith: [spoken] You never will. No matter what happens to me, I'll always be with you, forever. [singing] And I'm so grateful to you / I'd have lived my whole life through / Empty as the sky
Pocahontas: [singing] Never knowing why
Pocahontas and John Smith: [singing] Lost forever / If I never knew you...
Thomas: [to John on the longboat] The ships almost ready. We'd better get you on board. We'll lose the tide.
John Smith: [hold Thomas to stop] No, not yet. She said she'd be here.
Thomas: [as sees the Indians] Look. [as Pocahontas comes over to white demons; the Indians are put the ear corn bag on the ground, shes walks to Englishmen approaches, and sees John to be okay]
Thomas: [to Pocahontas] Going back is his only chance. He'll die if he stays here.
Pocahontas: [kneels beside John and offers him a bag] Here. It's from Grandmother Willow's bark. It'll help with the pain.
John Smith: What pain? I've had worse pain than this. [winces] Agh! Can't think of any right now, but...
Powhatan: [walks over] You are always welcome among our people. Thank you, my brother.
John Smith: [to Flit] I thought you didn't like strangers.

[Pocahontas looks at her people and the settlers. She turns to John Smith.]
Pocahontas: [with tears in her eyes] I'm needed here.
John Smith: Then, I'll stay with you.
Pocahontas: No. You have to go back.
John Smith: But I can't leave you.
Pocahontas: [spoken] You never will. No matter what happens, I'll always be with you, forever. [singing] And I’m so grateful to you…
John Smith: [singing] I have lived whole life through…
[They kiss goodbye.]
