Editing Ash Ketchum Meets Pocahontas/Transcript (section)

== "Just Around The Riverbend"/Talk with Grandmother Willow ==
(Transition to: Pocahontas alone at the riverside.)

Pocahontas: He wants me to be steady...like the river. But it's not steady at all. (singing) 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 around 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 these 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 curse? Steady as the beating drum, should I marry Kocoum? Is all my dreaming at an end? Or do you yet wait for me, Dream Giver? Just around the riverbend!

(Transition to: Pocahontas arriving at Grandmother Willow's glen.)

Grandmother Willow: Is that my Pocahontas?

Pocahontas: Grandmother Willow, I need to speak 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 speak 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!

Animals: (chattering)

Grandmother Willow: Silence! '''SILENCE!!!!!'''

Frog: (croaks)

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: Huh. 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: (chuckles) Your mother asked me the very same question.

Pocahontas: She did? What did you warn her?

Grandmother Willow: I warned her to listen. All around you are spirits, child. They live in the earth, the water, the heavens. If you listen, they will guide you.

Wind Spirits: (singing) Ay ay ay na ay ay na.

Pocahontas: I hear the wind.

Grandmother Willow: Yes, what is this warning you?

Pocahontas: I don't understand.

Grandmother Willow: (sings) 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: (singing) Listen with your heart, you will understand.

Wind Spirits: (singing) You will understand!

Grandmother Willow: What do you see?

Pocahontas: Clouds. Strange clouds.
