Lost... lost... [to Peter] I've lost my marbles.

Have to fly, have to fight, have to crow, have to save Maggie, have to save Jack... Hookie's back.

Your children love you, they want to play with you. How long do you think that lasts? Soon Jack might not even want you to come to his games. We have a few special years with our children, when they're the ones that want us around. After that you're going to be running after them for a bit of attention. It's so fast Peter. Just a few years, and it's over. And you are not being careful. And you are missing it.

You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you, Peter Pan. That's where I'll be waiting.

[pressing on Peter's face to see if it's really him]

Oh, there you are, Peter!

[dying after being stabbed by Hook]

Do you know what I wish?

Peter

Rufio

I wish I had a dad... like you.

[grunts, screams, groans]

Snow! What...? What? Help. HELP! Get me down! Help! Help!

Oh, you're alive!

Oh, get me down! I believe!

Lost Boys! Lost Boys! Wake up! Pan's back! Lost Boys! Lost Boys! Wake up!

Oh, That is so dangerous. [Rufio lands] That's enough! [after Rufio draws his sword] Okay, mister. All right. The show's over. Now you put that thing away! Now put it down before you poke somebody's eye out. [the Lost Boys all laugh] You're not old enough to shave. What are you doing with a sword? Kids flying around! This is an insurance nightmare! What's this? Some sort of Lord of the Flies preschool? Where are your parents? Who's in charge here?

[the Lost Boys all point at Rufio.]

No. No, Mr. Skunkhead-with-too-much-mousse…you are just a punk kid. [facing a mob of the Lost Boys] I want to speak to a grown-up!

Rufio

[in unison]

Kill the lawyer!

Rufio, you're the best with a sword. Please teach him. We gotta make him remember.

[A daffodil sniffs at Peter's face. Other sunflowers are now sniffing at Peter with more daffodils sniff at his crotch]

Excuse me! [hits the daffodil, it sneezes] Help me!

Help me!

Not you.

Not you! [Peter Pan with arrow shot by rear end]

Helmet! Oh, my! A wall.

Lost Boys, stop! Stop it!

Don't listen to that fairy and that brainless fungus. I got Pan's sword! I'm the Pan now! You think this guy's gonna take it from me? Rufio?

Wait! If Tink believes, maybe he is.

Rufio

Are you gonna follow this drooler against Capitán Hook?

What's he doing here if he's not Peter Pan, huh? He don't look happy here. And who are them kids Hook's got? Give him a chance!

Those are my kids... .and Hook is gonna kill them unless we do something. Help me. Please.
