Pocahontas

John Smith:
I'd rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you.

John Smith:
But I can't leave you.

Pocahontas:
You never will. No matter what happens, I'll always be with you. Forever.

Pocahontas:
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?

(Chief Powhatan realizes she's right and lifts up his stick)

Powhatan:
My daughter speaks with a 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 killing it will not start with me. Release him.

(John Smith and Pocahontas were back together, but Ratcliffe wouldn't give up so easily)

Ratcliffe:
Now's our chance. Fire!

Man:
No!

Ratcliffe:
What?

Thomas:
They let him go!

Ben:
They don't want to fight!

Ratcliffe:
It's a trick don't you see? Fire!

John Smith:
Is this bottomless pit a friend of yours?

Governor Ratcliffe:
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?

Thomas:
Put him in chains!

Governor Ratcliffe:
I'll see you all hang for this!

Thomas:
And gag him as well!

Grandmother Willow:
What do you see?

Pocahontas:
Clouds... strange clouds.

Wiggins:
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:
Ooh, gift baskets!

Governor Ratcliffe:
Oh, no. And he came so highly recommended.

Governor Ratcliffe:
I've never been a popular man.

Wiggins:
I like you.

Governor Ratcliffe:
And don't think I don't know what those back stabbers at court say about me.

Wiggins:
Oh, yes, all that talk about being a pathetic social climber who's failed at everything he's tried...

Governor Ratcliffe:
I'm very well aware that this is my last chance for glory. But mark my words, Wiggins. When King James sees the gold these peasants unearths, success will be mine at last.

Wiggins:
Hurry now, Percy. We must be all squeaky clean for the New World.

Thomas:
Going back is his only chance. He'll die if he stays here.

Powhatan:
From this day forward, if there is to be more killing, it will not start with me.

John Smith:
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?

Powhatan:
This is what we feared. The paleface is a demon / The only thing they feel at all is greed.

Kekata:
Beneath that milky hide, there's emptiness inside.

Powhatan:
Killers at the core.

Kekata:
They're different from us, which means they can't be trusted.

Powhatan:
We must sound the drums of war!

Grandmother Willow:
Come closer, John Smith.

Grandmother Willow:
He has a good soul. And he's handsome, too.

John Smith:
Oh, I like her.

Pocahontas:
Latley, I've been having this dream and I think it's...

Grandmother Willow:
Oh, a dream! Let's hear all about it!

Grandmother Willow:
Quiet!

Grandmother Willow:
QUIET!

Governor Ratcliffe:
This is *my* land! I make the laws here. And I say anyone who so much as looks at an indian without killing him on sight, will be tried for treason... and hanged!

Pocahontas:
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:
Wouldn't you?

Powhatan:
Of course I would. But it is not that simple. Nothing is simple anymore.

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...

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:
That's right. I'm not about to let you boys have all the fun.

Thomas:
What do you suppose the New World will look like?

John:
Like all the others, I suppose. I've seen hundreds of new worlds, Thomas. What could be possibly different about this one?

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.

[Pocahontas and Nakoma are looking at Kocoum]

Nakoma:
Oh, he is so handsome.

Pocahontas:
[jokingly] I especially love his smile.

[Cut to a stone-faced Kocoum]

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.

Grandmother Willow:
Oh! 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.

Ratcliffe:
I hereby claim this land and all its riches in the name of His Majesty, King James I, and do so name this settlement Jamestown.

Wiggins:
Bravo! Beautifully spoken, sir.

John:
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:
You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?

John:
So what river is this?

Pocahontas:
Quiyoughcohannock..

John:
You have the most unusual names here, Chechomony, Quiyoughcohannock, Pocahontas.

Pocahontas:
You have a most unusual name too... John Smith.

John:
[goes to shake Meeko's hand] It's alright, it's just a hand shake. Here let me show you.

[Long pause]

Pocahontas:
Nothing's happening.

John:
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:
Wingapo.

Pocahontas:
And how we say goodbye. Ana.

John:
I like hello better.

Ratcliffe:
You men! Where's Captain Smith?

Lon:
Well, he's... gone.

Ben:
Ay, your singing must have scared him off.

Ratcliffe:
Well then go get him, for heaven's sake!

Lon:
What if we run into the Indians?

Ratcliffe:
That's what guns are for. Now arm yourselves and get moving!

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 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:
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.

[Pocahontas is 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, we'll have to fight them for it.

Ratcliffe:
Follow him. I want to know where he's sneaking off to.

Thomas:
Yes, governor.

Ratcliffe:
And if you see any Indians, shoot them. Oh, and Thomas? You've been a slipshot sailor and a poor excuse for a soldier. Don't disappoint me again.

Nakoma:
Kocoum?

Kocoum:
What is it?

Nakoma:
It's Pocahontas.

Kocoum:
What's wrong? Is she all right?

Nakoma:
I think she's in trouble.

Grandmother Willow:
Now then. There's something I want to show you. Look. [dips a vine into the river, creating ripples]

Pocahontas:
The ripples.

John:
What about them?

Grandmother Willow:
So small at first, then look how they grow. But someone has to start them.

John:
They're not going to listen to us.

Grandmother Willow:
Young man, sometimes the right path is not the easiest one. Don't you see? Only when the fighting stops, can you be together.

[Pocahontas gently smiles in agreement.]

John:
All right, let's go talk to your father.

[Pocahontas embraces him and they kiss.]

[John is imprisoned after Kocoum's death.]

Pocahontas:
I'm so sorry.

John:
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:
Pocahontas, look at me. [she obeys] I'd rather die tomorrow that live a hundred years without knowing you.

Nakoma:
[peering through the tent flap] Pocahontas.

Pocahontas:
I can't leave you.

John:
You never will. No matter what happens to me, I'll always be with you, forever.

[John is about to be executed by Powhatan. Pocahontas 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 killing, it will not start with me. Release him.

Ratcliffe:
Now's our chance! [draws sword] Fire!

Thomas:
No!

Ratcliffe:
What!?

Thomas:
They let him go!

Ben:
They don't want to fight!

Ratcliffe:
It's a trick! Don't you see!? FIRE!!! [The Englishmen scowl at him. 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 notices.]

John:
NO!

[John jumps in front of Powhatan; Ratcliffe fires; the bullet hits John and he falls down, wounded]

Thomas:
John! [to Ratcliffe] You shot him!

Ratcliffe:
[dumbfounded] He stepped right... right into it! It's his own fault!

[The Englishmen surround Ratcliffe]

Ben:
Smith was right all along!

Lon:
We never should have listened to you!

Ben:
Get the gun!

[The men swarm over Ratcliffe and restrain him]

Ratcliffe:
Traitors! Unhand me, I say! How dare you!

Thomas:
[grabs the gun from Ratcliffe] Put him in chains!

Governor Ratcliffe:
I'll see you all hanged for this!

Thomas:
And gag him as well!

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.

[Ratcliffe, tied up in chains and gagged, is tossed into a longboat]

Ratcliffe:
[muffled] How dare you! Untie me at once! I'LL HAVE YOUR HEADS FOR THIS!!!

Wiggins:
[sniffles] And he came so highly recommended. [sighs]

"I would rather kill you, then kill an animal with No Respect"

Lon:
Easy lad, what is it?

Lon:
it’s only a bit of fun

Wiggins:
oh gift baskets!

Ratcliffe:
but think how they’ll squirm when they see how I glitter!

Ratcliffe:
I never was a popular man!

Wiggins:
I like you!

Ben:
Are you crazy!

Ben:
Thomas is right, we’ve got to do something!

[Fade to the digging site. Kocoum and his comrades are watching the settlers closely, their digging has yielded no results, but Ratcliffe, urges them on, certain that the gold they are searching for is around somewhere]

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 past the ridge.

Kocoum:
That makes more than a hundred!

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 for––

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 Ratcliffe calls Wiggins's 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] Hang on!

Ratcliffe:
[evilly gives him the drumstick] Dispose of this.

Wiggins:
[waves it in Percy's face] Uh-huh. Who's a nice doggie, huh? Who's a nice 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]

Ratcliffe:
[panicked] Savages! It's an ambush! Arm yourselves!

Wiggins:
Run!

[Wiggins ducks behind the topiary sculpture he carved and falls to the ground, teeth chattering in fear]

Ratcliffe:
Arm yourselves!

[Meanwhile, Ratcliffe and the other settlers in all directions, grabbing some loaded guns to defend themselves]

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 Ratcliffe and hitting a water barrel] Them, you idiot!

[Thomas looks over his shoulder at a ticked off 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]

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 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 Ratcliffe does not join in, certain he hasn't actually won]

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]

Ratcliffe:
Everyone, back to camp. Get the rest of the cannons ashore, and conclude building the fort!

Ben:
Aye, 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.

[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:
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:
All right! 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.

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 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!

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?

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 Ratcliffe comes lookin' Smith has disappeared.]

Ratcliffe:
You there! Where's Captain Smith?

Lon:
Well, he's... gone.

Ben:
Ay, your singing must have scared him off.

Ratcliffe:
Well then go get him, for heaven's sake!

Lon:
What if we run into the Indians?

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.

[after Kocoum was shot by Thomas, Powhatan sees his dead body]

Powhatan:
Who did this?

Warrior:
Pocahontas was out in the woods. Kocoum went to find him and his white men attacked them.

Powhatan:
[angrily points his spear at Smith's throats] Your weapons are strong. And now, our anger is stronger. At sunrise, he will be the first to die!

Pocahontas:
[enters the scene] But, Father…!

Powathan:
[angrily] I told you to stay in the village! You disobeyed me! You have shamed your father!

Pocahontas:
[almost crying] I was only trying to help.

Powathan:
Because of your foolishness, Kocoum is dead! [to his warriors] Take him away! [the crowds takes Smith to be imprisoned, leaves Pocahontas alone. Nakoma approaches her regretting her horrible mistake]

Pocahontas:
Kocoum was just only coming to protect me!

Nakoma:
[guilty] Pocahontas, I sent Kocoum after you. I was worried about you. I thought it was doing the right thing.

Pocahontas:
[sadly] All this happened because of me. I will never see John Smith again.

Nakoma:
[holds Pocahontas' hand and leads her to John Smith] Come with me. [cut to where John Smith is held and they approach the two Native Americans guarding] Pocahontas wants to look into the eyes of the man who killed Kocoum.

Native American:
[look at each other and agree] Be quick. [they look at their side and one of them opens the tent where John is held then Pocahontas enters]

[John is imprisoned after Kocoum's death.]

Pocahontas:
I'm so sorry.

John:
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:
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:
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:
If I never knew this love / I would have no inkling of / If I precious can be…|

Nakoma:
[peering in through the tent flap] Pocahontas.

Pocahontas:
I can't leave you.

John:
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:
Lost forever / If I never knew you…|
