Quotes8

  • Grandmother Willow: Come closer, John Smith.
  • [she inspects him]
  • Grandmother Willow: He has a good soul. And he's handsome, too.
  • John Smith: Oh, I like her.
  • Pocahontas: I knew you would.
  • John Smith: Pocahontas, that tree is talking to me.
  • Pocahontas: Then you should talk back.
  • Grandmother Willow: Don't be frightened, young man. My bark is worse than my bite.
  • Pocahontas: Say something.
  • John Smith: What do you say to a tree?
  • Pocahontas: Anything you want.
  • Grandmother Willow: Now then, there's something I want to show you. Look.
  • [dips her vine in the water in which glowing ripples begin to form]
  • Pocahontas: The ripples.
  • John Smith: What about them?
  • Grandmother Willow: So small at first, then look how they grow. But someone has to start them.
  • John Smith: They're not going to listen to us.
  • Grandmother Willow: Young man, sometimes the right path is not the easiest one. Don't you see? Only when the fighting stops can you be together.
  • [Pocahontas smiles]
  • John Smith: All right. Let's go talk to your father.
  • [Pocahontas and John hug each other]
  • Pocahontas: 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 begin to chatter excitedly]
  • Grandmother Willow: Quiet!
  • [a squirrel crawls over her face, which she blows away; the animals continue to chatter]
  • Grandmother Willow: Quiet!
  • [all falls silent; a frog croaks, she glares at it, making it gulp and hide under its lily pad]
  • John Smith: [about Percy and Meeko] You see what I mean? Once two sides wanna fight, nothing can stop them.
  • Pocahontas: [Percy and Meeko circling around her] Come-- Come here, both of you!
  • John Smith: It's all right! It's all right! He's a friend! Bad! Bad dog! Sit!
  • [Flit laughs, then Meeko snatches him and straightens his beak to be sharp like a sword. He begins to fence off Percy]
  • Pocahontas: What are you doing? Meeko!
  • John Smith: Percy, get back here! What are you doing? Stop that!
  • Grandmother Willow: All right, that's enough!
  • [Percy stiffens up and faints into the river. Grandmother Willow lifts him back to the stump with one of her branches]
  • Grandmother Willow: It's enough to make your sap boil.
  • Grandmother Willow: That's the strangest creature I've ever seen.
  • [on Percy, who is running around with his head stuck in a tree trunk]
  • Grandmother Willow: What do you see?
  • Pocahontas: Clouds. Strange clouds.
  • Grandmother Willow: Well, I haven't had this much excitement in 200 years.
  • Pocahontas: What am I doing? I shouldn't be seeing him again. I mean, I want to see him again.
  • Grandmother Willow: Who wouldn't? I want to see him again.
  • Pocahontas: But still, something inside is telling me it's the right thing.
  • Grandmother Willow: Perhaps it's your dream.
  • Pocahontas: My dream? Do you think he's the one the spinning arrow was pointing to?
  • Grandmother Willow: Hmm.
