Pocahontas!

Nakoma!

Don't go out there. I lied for you once. Don't ask me to do it again.

I have to do this.
Nakoma
He's one of them!
Pocahontas
You don't know him.

If you go out there, you'll be turning your back on your own people.

I'm trying to help my people.

Show-off. Pocahontas? Pocahontas? Are you all right? Well, you better be all right because I’m not coming in after you...! Don't you think we're getting a little old for these games?
[Coughs.]
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.

What were you doing up there?
Pocahontas
Thinking. Meeko!
Nakoma

Pocahontas
Maybe I should. Come on, Flit. Quit playing around, we have to get back.

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?

Perceptions of the New Arrivals
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
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.
[Chanting.]
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. Hurry now, Percy. We must be all squeaky clean for the New World.
[to Percy in the bath]
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
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. 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

Hey nonny nonny / Ho nonny nonny
[singing]
Governor Ratcliffe
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
[singing]
Settlers
Dig and dig and dig and diggety / Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig
[singing]
John Smith
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
[singing]
Governor Ratcliffe
Keep on working, lads
[singing]
John Smith

Exploration and Encounter in the New World
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
And he came so highly recommended.
[to himself]
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.
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. 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? Hey, what, what, watch out! No... Get that... Look out!
[Meeko bumps into him.; Flit attacks him.]
Thomas
John! You better get down here! The Governor's coming ashore!
John Smith
All right, all right, I'm leaving.

Discovery and Curiosity in a New World
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. Gold.
[Takes out an ear of corn.]
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
All this way for nothing. Those boys are in for a big surprise.
[Laughs.]
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.
John Smith
What was that?
[shocked]
Pocahontas
Do you see something?
John Smith
No, no. I just, uh, I... I didn't see anything. Did I?
[nervous; she nowhere to be seen]
Pocahontas
Look again.
Grandmother Willow
Let it break upon you, like a wave upon the sand. Hello, John Smith.
[she appears; singing; spoken]
John Smith
Pocahontas, that tree is talking to me.
[nervously]
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
So, uhh...
[gets closer to Grandmother Willow]
Grandmother Willow
Come closer, John Smith. He has a good soul. And he's handsome, too.
[she inspects him]
John Smith
Oh, I like her.
Pocahontas
I knew you would.
Ben
Smith! Smith, where are you mate?
[they shocked it]
John Smith
We can't let them see us.
Grandmother Willow
Quick! Over here!
[they hiding in the glade on our side]
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
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... Let's get out of here!
[sees the tree root out of the ground; it drops back in the earth]
Ben
Run!
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!

Concern for Pocahontas Among Friends
Nakoma
Kocoum.
Kocoum
What is it?
[turns toward her]
Nakoma
It's Pocahontas.
Kocoum
What's wrong? Is she all right?
[worried; standing up; 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.
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!
John Smith
Percy?
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!
Pocahontas
What are you doing here? Meeko!
John Smith
Percy, get back here! What are you doing here? Stop that!
Grandmother Willow
Alright, that's enough!
Grandmother Willow
It's enough to make your sap boil. Now then, there's something I want to show you. Look.
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. Don't you see? Only when the fighting stops can you be together.
[raises one of her roots and slides John Smith down to Pocahontas; 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]
John Smith
All right. Let's go talk to your father.

Seeking Information on Suspicious Behavior
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.

Powhatan
Now that we are joined by our brothers, we will defeat this enemy.
Pocahontas
Father, I need to speak with you.

Not now, my daughter. The council is gathering.
Pocahontas
We don't have to fight them! There must be a better way.
[about the settlers]
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?!
[desperately]
Powhatan
Of course I would. But it is not that simple. Nothing is simple anymore.

It's called a helmet.
Pocahontas
Helmet.
John Smith
So... what river is this?

Pocahontas
Meeko.
John Smith
Well how do you do, Meeko? It's all right, it's just a hand shake. Here let me show you.
[goes to shake Meeko's hand; Long pauses out]
Pocahontas
Nothing's happenin'.
John Smith
No. No, I need your hand first. It's how we say hello.
[She holds her hand out and he shakes it]
Pocahontas
This is how we say hello. Wingapo.
John Smith
Wingapo.
Pocahontas
And how we say goodbye. Ana.

John Smith
Hey!
Pocahontas
Meeko! Come back here.
John Smith
Don't worry, he can't hurt it. Hey!
[Meeko tap a compass on the rock]

Meeko, bring that back!
John Smith
No, it's all right. He can keep it. Call it a gift.
Pocahontas
What was that?
[about compass]
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
Well, it's got streets filled with carriages, bridges over the rivers, and buildings as tall as trees.
[about London village]
Pocahontas
I'd like to see those things.
John Smith
You will.
Pocahontas
How?

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
Make the most of it?
[confused]
John Smith
Yes. We'll build roads and decent houses.
Pocahontas
Our houses are fine.
[about the Indian's village]
John Smith
You think that only because you don't know any better. Wait a minute. Don't take it that. Hey! Wait! Wait! There's so much we can teach you. We've improved lives of savages all over the world.
[sarcastically; Pocahontas angrily walks off, Flit attack away for him; after Pocahontas stopping the her canoe]
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. Look, don't do this. Savage is just a word, uh, you know. A term for people who are uncivilized.
[Pocahontas jumps out of her canoe and climbs up into a tree]
Pocahontas
Like me.
John Smith
Well, when I say uncivilized, What I mean is, is...
Pocahontas
What you mean is, not like you. 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...
[spoken; singing; 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]

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
I was only trying to help.
[tearfully]
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
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
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. The compass? Spinning arrow!
[Meeko gives her John's compass.]
Grandmother Willow
It's the arrow from your dream!
Pocahontas
I was right! It was pointing to him. Sunrise!
[Sunlight hits her face.]
Grandmother Willow
It's not too late, child. Let the spirits of the earth guide you! You know your path, child... Now follow it!

A Dream Foretells an Upcoming Proposal
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
Really? What is it?
[eagerly]
Powhatan
Kocoum has asked to seek your hand in marriage.
Pocahontas
Marry Kocoum?
[disappointed]
Powhatan
I told him it would make my heart soar.
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. As the river cuts his path / Though the river's proud and strong / He will choose the smoothest course / That's why rivers live so long. They're steady as the steady beating drum Your mother wore this for our wedding. It was her dream to see you wear it at your own. It suits you.
[singing; spoken; singing; spoken]

Caution and Responsibility in Tribal Life
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. Pocahontas, look! It's one of them! I'm going to get-

Pocahontas
What are you doing here?
[thrusts her hand over Nakoma's mouth]
John Smith
I had to see you again.
Kocoum
Pocahontas! Pocahontas?!
Pocahontas
Please, don't say anything. Quick, this way!
[to Nakoma; to John]
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
Huh. Sure she does.

A Lesson in Marksmanship from John Smith
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.

Settlers Seek Wealth in the New World
Settlers Chorus
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
[singing]
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
Are you coming on this voyage, too?
[to John]
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
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
[singing]
Settler
Full anchor release!

Reef the topsails!

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!
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—
Governor Ratcliffe
Prosperity—
Governor Ratcliffe
The adventure of our lives. You are the finest crew ] has to offer and nothing, not wind nor rain nor a thousand bloodthirsty savages shall stand in our way. Carry on, men!
[[England]
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?
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
We’ll kill ourselves an Injun

John Smith
Or maybe two or three

What do you suppose the New World will look like?

Like all the others, I suppose. I've seen hundreds of new worlds, Thomas. What could be possibly different about this 1?
Settlers
It's glory, God and gold / And the Virginia company

A Call for Help in Crisis
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!

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

Building a Fence with Teamwork and Tension
Ben
Alright! This one's ready to hoist!?
Lon
Two on each side. Ready now? Push! Watch it! It's slipping!
Ben
Come on, lads, it's only a little picket fence.

Lon
Steady! Steady!

Ben
There you go.
Thomas
That'll keep everything out, eh, John? Something wrong, John?

John Smith
What?!
Thomas
You've been quiet the last few days.
Lon
Oh, he's just mad he missed all the action.
[to John]
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? We shot ourselves an injun, or maybe two or three.
[singing]
Ben
All right, you howling nutter! Get to work!
[angrily kicks him]
Lon
Come on, Ben, it's just just a little fun.
Ben
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.
[sarcastically]
Governor Ratcliffe
I'm doomed! I should be wallowing in riches right now, and I haven't found as much as a speck! Think. Think! It's got to be around somewhere. Where could it be? I've mined the forests and the hills and the swamps... and NOTHING! Why can't I find it?! What am I overlooking?!

Wiggins
I... I... I made it myself!
[he takes off his headband, made from an native's arrow]
Governor Ratcliffe
Take that silly...! Of course. The Indians. Wiggins, why do you think those insolent heathens attacked us?
[snatches it off his head; looking at the arrow]
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?
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!

Choosing Love Over Hatred
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
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.

Unity Against a Common Threat

Pocahontas Seeks Guidance from Grandmother Willow
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!
Grandmother Willow
Quiet! Quiet!
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
Your mother asked me the very same question.
[Chuckle.]
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.

Admiration for Kocoum's Bravery and Charm

The Uncertainty of Choices and Dreams
Pocahontas
He wants me to be steady... Like the river. But it's not steady at all. 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?

Search for Treasure and Tensions Rise
Governor Ratcliffe
That's it. Keep at it, men. Keep digging. It has to be here somewhere.
Native American Warrior #1
There's thirty more of them, down by the ridge.
Kocoum
That makes more than a hundred!
Governor Ratcliffe
Anything yet?
[holding a plate and a chicken drumstick]
Thomas
Nothing but rocks and dirt, sir.
Lon
Um, how long are we going to keep digging like this, sir?
Ben
Aye, we're slaving apart, busting our backs day and night--
[climbing out of his hole]
Governor Ratcliffe
For king and country. I know, I know, and I share your fatigue. Wiggins? Wiggins!
[interrupting; takes a bite of his drumstick, clearly not enjoying it]
Wiggins
Coming!
[snips the last branch off the unicorn's nose]
Governor Ratcliffe
Dispose of this.
[evilly gives Wiggins the drumstick]
Wiggins
Uh-huh. Who's a good doggie, huh? Who's a good doggie? Fetch, boy!
[waves it in Percy's face; the pug just sighs annoyingly, and he throws the drumstick]
Governor Ratcliffe
Savages! It's an ambush! Arm yourselves!
[panicked]
Wiggins
Run!
[ducks behind the topiary sculpture he carved and falls to the ground, teeth chattering in fear]
Governor Ratcliffe
Arm yourselves!
Governor Ratcliffe
Make sure every man has a musket! Shoot! Them, you idiot!
[Thomas runs past him, but accidentally trips on a log and his gun goes off, narrowly missing Governor Ratcliffe and hitting a water barrel]
Governor Ratcliffe
Where's that blasted Smith if I need him?
Kocoum
Namontack!
[drops his bow and runs to him]
Kocoum
Back to the village!
Governor Ratcliffe
Shut up. Shut up, you fools! They'll be back. Everyone, back to camp. Get the rest of the cannons ashore and finish building the fort!
[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]
Ben
Aye, Governor.
Governor Ratcliffe
And you! Learn to use that thing properly. A man's not a man unless he knows how to shoot.
[angrily turns to Thomas]
