...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...
Nakoma
[Pocahontas and Nakoma are looking at Kocoum]
Oh, he is so handsome.
[Cut to a stone-faced Kocoum]
...destroying every enemy in his path. Tonight we will feast in his honor.
[Cheer.]
My daughter.
Wingapo, father.
Seeing you gives me great joy.
I am so glad you’ve come home safely.
Come with me, we have much to talk about. I want to hear everything you’ve been doing.
Pocahontas, you should be inside the village.
We'll be all right.
Nakoma
We're gathering food for when the warriors arrive.
Don't go far. Now is not the time to be running off.
Yes, father!
When I see you wear that necklace, you look just like your mother.
I miss her.
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.
You shouldn't be out there alone. I'll send for Kocoum.
Nakoma
All right. What is it?
What?
Nakoma
You're hiding something.
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-
I had to see you again.
Pocahontas! Pocahontas?!
Nakoma
But-
Nakoma, where is Pocahontas?
Nakoma
I-I haven't seen her.
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.
The warriors are here!
Nakoma
[Pocahontas arrives.]
Pocahontas, are you crazy? What were you doing with one of them?
There you are!
Kocoum!
[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.
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?
Pocahontas...
Of course I would. But it is not that simple. Nothing is simple anymore.
For what? This? I've gotten out of worse scrapes than this. Can't think of any right now, but...
It would have been better if we'd never met. None of this would've happened.

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
[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
There's no moment I regret / Since the moment that we met / If I time has gone too fast / I've lived at last...
[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.
I can't leave you.
[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 and John Smith
[singing]
Lost forever / If I never knew you...
