Editing Ash Ketchum Meets Pocahontas/Transcript (section)

== The Settlers arrive/John meets Meeko ==
(Cut to: The Susan Constant.)

Ratcliffe: Look at it, Wiggins. A whole New World chock complete with gold, just waiting for me.

Wiggins: And scores of adventures waiting for us, right, Percy? Do you think we'll meet some savages?

Ratcliffe: If we do, we should be sure to give them a proper English greeting.

Wiggins: Oh, gift baskets!

Ratcliffe: And he came so highly recommended.

(John Smith enters.)

John Smith: It's perfect, Governor. The water's deep enough, we can pull right up to shore. Hey there, Percy.

Ratcliffe: Very well, then. Give the order.

John Smith: Already finished, sir. I have a crew assembled and they're ready to go.

Ratcliffe: About the natives, I'm counting on you to make sure these filthy heathens don't disrupt our mission.

John Smith: Well, if they're anything like the savages I've fought before, it's nothing I can't handle.

Ratcliffe: Right. That'll be all, Smith, there's a nice man.

John Smith: Farewell, Percy.

Ratcliffe: The men like Smith, don't they? I've never been a popular man.

Wiggins: I like you.

Ratcliffe: And don't think I don't know what these backstabbers at court say about me.

Wiggins: Oh, yes, all that language about you being a pathetic social climber who's failed at everything he's––

Ratcliffe: I'm very well aware that this is my last chance for glory. But mark my words, Wiggins. If King James sees the gold these peasants unearth, success will be mine at last!

(Cut to: Exterior, on deck, Susan Constant.)

Ben: Wake up! Shake a leg!

Lon: It's incredible.

Thomas: And it's all ours. I've never seen anything like it.

Ben: It can look like Ratcliffe's knickers, for all I care, just as long as we get off this stinking boat.

John Smith: C'mon, men, we didn't come all this fashion just to look at it.

(They row ashore as Pocahontas watches.)

Ben: Keep it taut, lads, keep it taut! Easy now, easy.

Lon: Ah, that's far enough! Alright now, tie her off.

Thomas: Here, John, tie up this end. John? John! What are you doing up there?

John Smith: 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, right? Well, try eating it for four months straight. You've had a friend back there? (Flit attacks him) Hey, what, what, watch out! No...get that...careful!

Thomas: John! You better get down here. The Governor's coming ashore!

John Smith: Alright, that's it, I'm leaving.
