Editing Ash Ketchum Meets Pocahontas/Transcript (section)

== Trying to stop the war ==
[Transition to: Interior, Powhatan camp.]

* 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 my daughter's visitors. Kekata, what do you see?
* KEKATA: [Chanting.] These children are not men like us, but strange beasts with bodies that shine like the sun and their friends are creatures with great power. They prowl the earth like ravenous wolves consuming any evil in their path protecting all.
* 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 my daughter's visitors are strange to us. Take some men to observe them. Let us hope they are allies and not enemies.

(outside some Native Americans arrive on the river)

* NATIVE AMERICAN: The warriors are here!

[Pocahontas, Ash and his friends arrive.]

* NAKOMA: Pocahontas, are you crazy? What were you doing with that—
* Kocoum: There you are!
* Pocahontas: Kocoum!
* Kocoum: Look at them! Now we have enough warriors to destroy those white demons and wherever those other invaders are, they won't stand a chance against our forces!
* Misty: Kocoum, listen to me! It doesn't need to come to this!
* Kocoum: Yes, it does. Those white men should be lucky Namontack wasn't killed.

Powhatan: Now that we are joined by our brothers, we will defeat this enemy.

(Pocahontas runs to her father.)

Pocahontas: Father, I need to speak with you.

Powhatan: Not now, my daughter. The council is gathering.

Pocahontas: We don't have to fight them! There must be a better fashion.

Powhatan: Sometimes our paths are chosen for us.

Pocahontas: But perhaps we should try speaking to them.

Powhatan: They do not want to speak.

Pocahontas: But if one of them did want to speak, you would listen to him, wouldn't you?

Powhatan: Pocahontas––––

Pocahontas: Wouldn't you?

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

(Cut to: Exterior, Jamestown, sunset.)

John Smith: Easy, Thomas. It's me.

Thomas: Oh, John! I would've murdered you!

John Smith: Not aiming like that, you couldn't. Keep both eyes open if you shoot. You'll see twice as well.

Ben: Smith! There ya are!

Lon: We were looking all over for you.

Ratcliffe: '''SMITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!''' Where have you been?

John Smith: I was out scouting the terrain, sir.

Ratcliffe: Excellent. Then you must know the Indians' whereabouts. We'll need that information for the battle.

John Smith: What battle?

Ratcliffe: We will eliminate these savages once and for all.

John Smith: No! You can't do that!

Ratcliffe: Oh? Can't I?

John Smith: Look, we don't have to fight them.

Thomas: John, what's got into you all of a sudden?

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 this?

John Smith: It's better than hardtack and gruel, that's for sure.

Wiggins: I like gruel.

Ratcliffe: They don't want to feed us, you ninnies! They want to murder us! All of us! They've had our gold, and they'll do anything to keep it!

John Smith: But there is no gold!

Ben: No...gold?

Ratcliffe: And I suppose your little Indian friend warned you this?

John Smith: Yes.

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!

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

(Cut to: Exterior, Powhatan village, evening.)

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: 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 thinking about.

Nakoma: Pocahontas, no!

(Cut to: Exterior, Jamestown settlement, night.)

Ben: ...Ratcliffe wouldn't take us halfway around the world for nothing.

Lon: But what if Smith is right? What if there is no gold?

Englishman: If you ask me, Ratcliffe's been lying to us since we left London.

Ben: Listen to you, you bunch of idiots. These savages didn't attack for nothing, they're hiding something.

Lon: If they do have the gold, I reckon we'll have to fight them.

(Thomas follows John to the edge of the settlement)

Thomas: (gasps)

Ratcliffe: Follow him.

Thomas: Yes, Governor.

Ratcliffe: I want to know where he's sneaking away to.

Thomas: Yes, sir.

Ratcliffe: And if you happen to 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!

(Cut to: Interior, Kocoum's tent.)

Nakoma: Kocoum?

Kocoum: What is this?

Nakoma: It's Pocahontas.

Kocoum: What's wrong? Is she alright?

Nakoma: I think she's in danger.
