Editing Ash Ketchum Meets Pocahontas/Transcript (section)

== Back at camp/In the cornfield ==
(Cut to: Exterior, Jamestown, dripping rainwater.)

Ben: Alright! This one's ready to hoist!

Lon: Two on each side. Ready now? Push! Watch it, it's slipping!

Ben: C'mon, lads, it's only a little picket fence.

Lon: Easy now, easy!

Ben: There you go!

Thomas: That'll keep everything out, right, John? Something wrong, John?

John Smith: What?

Thomas: You've been awfully silent the last few days.

Lon: Oh, he's just as insane that he missed all the action.

Thomas: Ah, don't worry, John. You'll get your chance to deal with the Indians.

Lon: Yes, we'll take care of them like that we did last time. Right, mates? (singing) We shot ourselves an Injun, or perhaps two or three!

Ben: Alright, you howling nutter, get to work!

Lon: C'mon, Ben. It's just a little fun.

Ben: Oh, sure, we're having loads of fun. Right, look at us. No gold, no food, while Ratcliffe sits up in his tent all day happy as a clam!

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

Ratcliffe: I'm doomed! I should be wallowing in riches right now and I haven't seen so much as a speck! It has to be here somewhere. Where could it be? I've mined the forests and the hills and swamps, and nothing! Why can't I find it? What am I overlooking?

Wiggins: Ah!

Ratcliffe: (gasps)

Wiggins: I...I...I made it myself.

Ratcliffe: Take that, silly...of course, the Indians! Wiggins, why do you think these insolent heathens attacked us?

Wiggins: Because we invaded their land and cut down their trees and dug up their earth?

Ratcliffe: It's the gold! They have it and they don't want us to take it from them. Well, I'll just have to take it by force then, won't I?

(Cut to: Exterior, Jamestown settlement, cleared of rain.)

Ratcliffe: You there! Where's Captain Smith?

Lon: Well, he's...gone!

Ben: Aye, your singing would have frightened them away.

Ratcliffe: Well, then go get him, for heaven's sake!

Lon: What if we run into the Indians?

Ratcliffe: That's what guns are for. Now, arm yourselves and get moving!

(Cut to: Exterior, Powhatan cornfield, day.)

Powhatan: Pocahontas! You should be inside the village.

Pocahontas: We'll be alright.

Nakoma: We're gathering food for since the warriors arrive.

Powhatan: Don't go far. Now is not the time to be running away.

Pocahontas: Yes, Father.

Powhatan: If I see you wear that necklace, you look just like your mother.

Pocahontas: I miss her.

Powhatan: But she is yet with us. Wherever the wind blows through the trees, I feel her presence. Our people looked to her for wisdom and strength. Someday, they will look to you as well.

Pocahontas: I would be honored by that.

Powhatan: You shouldn't be out there alone. I'll send for Kocoum. (exits)

Nakoma: Alright, what is this?

Pocahontas: What?

Nakoma: You're hiding something.

Pocahontas: I'm not hiding anything.

Nakoma: Pocahontas, you can warn me, I promise I won't warn anyone––

(John Smith enters)

Nakoma: (gasps) Pocahontas, look! It's one of them! I'm going to get----- (Pocahontas covers Nakoma's mouth)

Pocahontas: What are you doing here?

Nakoma: Mmm?!

John Smith: I had to see you again.

Nakoma: Mmm!

Kocoum: Pocahontas?

Nakoma: Mmm!

Kocoum: Pocahontas?

Pocahontas: Please, don't say anything. Faster, this way!

Nakoma: But–

(Pocahontas and John exit.)

Kocoum: Nakoma, where is Pocahontas?

Nakoma: I...I haven't seen her.

Kocoum: Pocahontas can't keep running away. It's dangerous out there. Warn her that. She listens to you.

Nakoma: Huh, sure she does.
