Grandmother Willow Quotes in Pocahontas (1995)

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: 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.

Pocahontas: 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, Grandmother Willow glares at it, making it gulp and hide under its lily pad]

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 gonna 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: Alright, let's go talk to your father.

[Pocahontas and John hug each other]

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 here, both of you!

John Smith: 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.
