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.
