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.
P Powhatan
Yes, something exciting is about to happen.
[eagerly]
Really? What is it?
P Powhatan
Kocoum has asked to seek your hand in marriage.
[disappointed]
Marry Kocoum?
P Powhatan
[Flit nods in approval; Meeko, on the other hand, sticks out his tongue in disgust.]
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.]
But he's so... serious.
P 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.
Father, I think my dream is pointing me down another path.
P Powhatan
This is the right path for you.
P 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.
Did you see their skin? Pale and sickly.
They have hair on their faces like dogs.
P Powhatan
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.
P 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.
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
P Powhatan
Pocahontas, you should be inside the village.
We're gathering food for when the warriors arrive.
P Powhatan
Don't go far. Now is not the time to be running off.
P Powhatan
When I see you wear that necklace, you look just like your mother.
P 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.
I would be honored by that.
P Powhatan
You shouldn't be out there alone. I'll send for Kocoum.
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-
[thrusts her hand over Nakoma's mouth]
What are you doing here?
[to Nakoma]
Please, don't say anything. [to John] Quick, this way!
Nakoma, where is Pocahontas?
Pocahontas can't keep running off. It's dangerous out there. Tell her that. She listens to you.
[sarcastically to himself]
Huh. Sure she does.
[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!
P Powhatan
[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.
P Powhatan
Not now, my daughter. The council is gathering.
[about the settlers]
We don't have to fight them! There must be a better way.
P Powhatan
Sometimes our paths are chosen for us.
But maybe we should try talking to them.
P Powhatan
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?!
P Powhatan
Of course I would. But it is not that simple. Nothing is simple anymore.
Help! Somebody, help! Help! Help!
It's Smith! They got him!
They captured him, dragged him off!
I don't know, at least a dozen.
It's perfect, Wiggins! I couldn't have planned this better myself. The gold is as good as mine!
We've got to save him! He'd do the same for any of us.
Thomas is right! We've got to do something.
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

Drive them to our shore / They're not like you and me / Which means they must be evil / We must sound the drums of war

They're savages, savages / Dirty shrieking devils / Now we sound the drums of war

This is what we feared / The Paleface is a demon / The only thing they feel at all is greed

Beneath that milky hide / There's emptiness inside

They're going to kill him at sunrise, Grandmother Willow.
Child, remember your dream?
I was wrong, Grandmother Willow. I followed the wrong path. I feel so lost. [Meeko gives her John's compass.] The compass? Spinning arrow!
It's the arrow from your dream!
I was right! It was pointing to him. [Sunlight hits her face.] Sunrise!
It's not too late, child. Let the spirits of the earth guide you! You know your path, child... Now follow it!
[singing]
This will be the day / [spoken] Let's go, men!

This will be the morning / [spoken] Bring out the prisoner!

[John Smith is about to be executed by Powhatan. Pocahontas bravely throws herself on top of John to protect him.]
No! If you kill him, you'll have to kill me too.
P Powhatan
Daughter, stand back.
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?
P Powhatan
[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.]
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]
Now's our chance! [draws sword] Fire!
They don't want to fight!
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.]
NO!
[John Smith jumps in front of Powhatan; Governor Ratcliffe fires; the bullet hits John Smith's side and he falls down, wounded]
John! [to Governor Ratcliffe as Pocahontas rushes to John Smith's side] You shot him!
[dumbfounded]
He stepped right... right into it! It's his own fault!
[The Englishmen furiously surround Governor Ratcliffe]
Smith was right all along!
We never should have listened to you!
Get the gun! [The men swarm over Governor Ratcliffe and restrain him]
Traitors! Unhand me, I say! How dare you!
[grabs the gun from Governor Ratcliffe]
Put him in chains!
I'll see you all HANGED for this!
And gag him as well! [Thomas looks up at John as Pocahontas and Chief Powhatan tend him worried rushes to him]
