Alright! This one's ready to hoist!?
Two on each side. Ready now? Push! Watch it! It's slipping!
[John, Thomas, Lon pushing the fence]
Come on, lads, it's only a little picket fence.
[Meeko climbs the fence]
Steady! Steady!
That'll keep everything out, eh, John? [John digs a shovel] Something wrong, John?
You've been quiet the last few days.
[to John]
Oh, he's just mad he missed all the action.
Ah, don't worry, John. You'll get your chance to deal with Indians.
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.
[angrily kicks him]
All right, you howling nutter! Get to work!
Come on, Ben, it's just just a little fun.
[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.
[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]
I... I... [he takes off his headband, made from an native's arrow] I made it myself!
[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?
Because we invaded their land and cut down their trees and dug up their earth?
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.]
You there! Where's Captain Smith?
Ay, your singing must have scared him off.
Well then go get him, for heaven's sake!
What if we run into the Indians?
That's what guns are for! Now arm yourselves and get moving!
Is he going to make it, Thomas?
The sooner he gets back to England, the better.
Well, let's hope the wind is with him.
Any minute now. Just loading the last bit of cargo. [Governor Ratcliffe, tied up in chains and gagged, is tossed into a longboat]
[muffled]
How dare you! Untie me at once! I'LL HAVE YOUR HEADS FOR THIS!!!
[sadly sniffles]
And he came so highly recommended. [sighs]
Ratcliffe wouldn't take us halfway 'round the world for nothing.
But what if Smith is right? What if there is no gold?
If you ask me, Ratcliffe's been lying to us since we left London.
Listen to you, you bunch of idiots! Those savages didn't attack us for nothing. They're hiding something.
If they do have the gold, I reckon we'll have to fight them.
Look at it, Wiggins. An entire New World chock full of gold, just waiting for me.
And scores of adventures waiting for us, right, Percy? Do you think we'll meet some savages?
If we do, we shall be sure to give them a proper English greeting.
Oooh, gift baskets! [holds up a pair of gift baskets]
[to himself]
And he came so highly recommended.
[Ratcliffe opens the map, John enters.]
It's perfect, Governor. The water's deep enough, we can pull right up to shore. [to Percy; ruffles his fur] Hey there, Percy.
[Percy growls softly]
Very well, then. Give the order.
Already done, sir. I've got a crew assembled and they're ready to go.
About the natives, I'm counting on you to make sure those filthy heathens don't disrupt our mission.
Well, if they're anything like the savages I've fought before, it's nothing I can't handle.
Right. That'll be all, Smith, there's a good man.
[ruffles Percy's fur again]
See ya, Percy. [Percy growls; leaves]
The men like Smith, don't they? [Percy growls again over Smith ruffling his fur] I've never been a popular man.
And don't think I don't know what those backstabbers at court say about me.
Oh yes, all that talk about you being a pathetic social climber who's failed at everything he's--
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.
[Outside; The boat drops to the water]
Wake up! Shake a leg!
And it's all ours. I've never seen anything like it.
It can look like Ratcliffe's knickers, for all I care, just as long as we get off this stinking boat.
Come on, men, we didn't come all this way just to look at it.
[They row ashore as Pocahontas watches.]
Keep it taut, lads, keep it taut! Steady, steady.
Ah, that's far enough! All right now, tie her off.
Here, John, tie up this end. John? John? What are you doing up there?
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!
John! You better get down here! The Governor's coming ashore!
All right, all right, I'm leaving.
[Pocahontas looks over at her father.]
You must choose your own path.
[Pocahontas looks at her people and the settlers. She turns to John Smith.] [with tears in her eyes]
I'm needed here.
Then, I'll stay with you.
[spoken]
You never will. No matter what happens, I'll always be with you, forever. [singing] And I’m so grateful to you…
[singing]
I have lived whole life through…
[They kiss goodbye.]
Good luck, lad.
S Sailors
The crew a-ready? Aye, sir! Set the mainsails. Weigh anchor! Let go of the topgallants!
[Pocahontas looks over at her father.]
You must choose your own path.
[Pocahontas looks at her people and the settlers. She turns to John Smith.] [with tears in her eyes]
I'm needed here.
Then, I'll stay with you.
You never will. No matter what happens, I'll always be with you, forever.
[They kiss goodbye.]
Good luck, lad.
S Sailors
The crew a-ready? Aye, sir! Set the mainsails. Weigh anchor! Let go of the topgallants!
Oh, John! I could've killed you!
Not aiming like that, you couldn't. Keep both eyes open when you shoot. You'll see twice as well.
We were looking all over for you.
Smith! Where have you been?
I was out scouting the terrain, sir.
Excellent. Then you must know the Indians' whereabouts. We'll need that information for the battle.
We will eliminate these savages once and for all.
Look, we don’t have to fight them.
John, what's gotten into you?
They're not savages, they can help us. They know the land, they know how to navigate the rivers. And, look! It’s food!
It's better than hardtack and gruel, that’s for sure.
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!
And I suppose your little Indian friend told you this.
Lies! Lies, all of it! Murderous thieves, there’s no room for their kind in civilized society.
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.
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.
It can look like Ratcliffe's knickers, for all I care, just as long as we get off this stinkin' boat!
I'd help you to dig, boys, but I've got this crick in me spine.
[to Pocahontas]
You must choose your own path.
They're not like you and me, which means they must be evil!!!
Did you see their skin? Pale and sickly.
They have hair on their faces like dogs.
My brothers, we must know more about these visitors. Kekata, what do you see?
[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.
Great Powhatan. I will lead our warriors to the river and attack. We will destroy these invaders the way we destroyed the Massawomecks.
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.
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.
Bravo! Bravo! Beautifully spoken, sir. [to Percy in the bath] Hurry now, Percy. We must be all squeaky clean for the New World.
Captain Smith! It appears I've selected the perfect location, eh? Not a savage in sight.
Just because we don't see them doesn't mean they're not out there, sir.
Well then, perhaps you should venture forth and determine their whereabouts, hmm?
If there are any Indians out there, I'll find them.
Now, gentlemen, to work. You men, get the ship unloaded.
You men build the fort. The rest of you... Break out the shovels! It's time to start digging.
[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
[singing]
Dig and dig and dig and diggety / Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig...
[singing]
Hey nonny nonny / Ho nonny nonny
[singing]
Ooh, how I love it
[singing]
Hey nonny nonny / Ho nonny nonny
[singing]
Riches for cheap
[singing]
Hey nonny nonny / Ho nonny nonny
[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
[singing]
Dig and dig and dig and diggety / Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig
[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
[singing]
Keep on working, lads
[singing]
Don't be shirking, lads / Mine, boys, mine / Mine me that gold
[singing]
Dig, dig, and diggety
[singing]
Dig, dig, for that gold / Make this island / My land
[singing]
Make the mounds big, boys / I'd help you to dig, boys / But I’ve got this crick in me spine
[singing]
This land we behold
[singing]
This beauty untold
[singing]
A man can be bold
[singing]
It all can be sold
[singing]
So go for the gold / We know which is here
[singing]
All the riches here
[singing]
From this minute
[singing]
This land and what's in it is
[singing]
Dig and dig and diggety-dig / Hey nonny nonny, it's mine
[Pocahontas arrives.]
Pocahontas, are you crazy? What were you doing with one of them?
[to Pocahontas and Nakoma]
Look at them. Now we have enough warriors to destroy those white demons!
[Powhatan with another tribal chieftain]
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]
Father, I need to speak with you.
Not now, my daughter. The council is gathering.
[about the settlers]
We don't have to fight them! There must be a better way.
Sometimes our paths are chosen for us.
But maybe we should try talking to them.
They do not want to talk.
But if one of them did want to talk, you would listen to him, wouldn't you?
[desperately]
Wouldn't you?!
Of course I would. But it is not that simple. Nothing is simple anymore.
