• John Smith : Pocahontas.

  Pocahontas : [hugs him]  I'm so sorry.

  John Smith : For what, this? I've gotten out of worse scrapes than this. Can't think of anything right now, but...

  Pocahontas : [tearfully]  It would've been better if we never met. None of this would've happened.

  John Smith : Pocahontas, look at me. I'd rather die tomorrow than live a hundred years without knowing you.

  Nakoma : Pocahontas.

  Pocahontas : I can't leave you.

  John Smith : You never will. No matter what happens to me, I'll always be with you. Forever.

  Pocahontas : [sadly leaves] 

• 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 : If 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 doing.

  Nakoma : Pocahontas, no!

  [Pocahontas runs off] 

• John Smith : [singing]  If I never knew you/If I never felt this love/I would have no inking of/How precious life can be/And if I never held 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

  Pocahontas : [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

  John Smith : [singing]  There's no moment I regret

  Pocahontas : [singing]  If I never knew this love

  John Smith : [singing]  Since the moment that we met

  Pocahontas : [singing]  I would have no inking of

  John Smith : [singing]  If our time has gone too fast

  Pocahontas : [singing]  How precious life can be

  John Smith : [singing]  I've lived at last

  Nakoma : Pocahontas.

  Pocahontas : [spoken]  I can't leave you.

  John Smith : [spoken]  You never will. No matter what happens to me, I'll always be with you. Forever.

  [singing] 

  John Smith : And I'm so grateful to you/I'd have lived my whole life through/Empty as the sky/

  Pocahontas : [singing]  Never knowing why/

  John Smith : [singing]  Lost forever/If I never knew you

  Pocahontas : [singing]  Lost forever/If I never knew you

• Kocoum : Nakoma.

  Nakoma : Huh?

  Kocoum : Where is Pocahontas?

  Nakoma : I--I haven't seen her

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

  Nakoma : [sarcastically to herself]  Huh. Sure she does.

• Powhatan : [sees Kocoum's body]  Who did this?

  Warriors : [with John Smith]  Pocahontas was out in the woods. Kocoum went to find her and this white man attacked them.

  Powhatan : [angry]  Your weapons are strong, but now are anger is stronger. At sunrise, he will be the first to die.

  Pocahontas : But, Father...

  Powhatan : [angry]  I told you to stay in the village. You disobeyed me. You have shamed your father!

  Pocahontas : I was only trying to help.

  Powhatan : Because of your foolishness, Kocoum is dead! Take him away!

  Pocahontas : [when Nakoma comes out of the crowd and approaches her to confess to sending Kocoum after her]  Kocoum was just coming to protect me.

  Nakoma : Pocahontas, I sent Kocoum after you. I was worried about you. I thought I was doing the right thing.

  Pocahontas : All this happened because of me. And now I'll never see John Smith again.

  Nakoma : Come with me.

  [to the guards] 

  Nakoma : Pocahontas wants to look into the eyes of the man who killed Kocoum.

  Warriors : Be quick.

• Nakoma : Kocoum.

  Kocoum : What is it?

  Nakoma : It's Pocahontas.

  Kocoum : What's wrong? Is she all right?

  Nakoma : I think she's in trouble.

• Powhatan : Pocahontas, you and Nakoma should be inside the village.

  Pocahontas : We'll be all right.

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

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

  Pocahontas : Yes, Father.

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

  Pocahontas : I miss her.

  Powhatan : 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.

  Pocahontas : I would be honored by that.

  Powhatan : You shouldn't be out here alone. I'll send for Kocoum.

  Nakoma : All right. What is it?

  Pocahontas : What?

  Nakoma : You're hiding something.

  Pocahontas : I'm not hiding anything.

  Nakoma : Pocahontas, you can tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone.

  [sees John Smith coming] 

  Nakoma : Pocahontas, look! It's one of them! I'm going to get...

  Pocahontas : [thrusts her hand over Nakoma's mouth]  What are you doing here?

  John Smith : I had to see you again.

  Kocoum : Pocahontas. Pocahontas?

  Pocahontas : [to Nakoma]  Please, don't say anything.

  [to John Smith] 

  Pocahontas : Quick, this way.

  Nakoma : But...

• Nakoma : Pocahontas, are you crazy? What were you doing with one of them?

  Kocoum : There you are.

  Pocahontas : Kocoum.

  Kocoum : [to Pocahontas and Nakoma]  Look at them. Now we have enough warriors to destroy those white demons.
