Tootles

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

Tootles

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!

Rufi-OHHH!!!!!!!

[repeatedly]

Bangarang!

Tootles

I've forgotten how to fly.

Inspector Good

Yes, well... one does.

It's been a long time.

Moria

Let's have fun, Peter. London's a magical place for children. It was for us.

Very expensive. Jack, don't do that. You could put someone's eye out.

Moria

Maggie. Maggie. Peter, it's number 14.

Oh, 14. Sorry.

Moria

What do you say to Granny Wendy? "How do you do?"

Jack, get down from there. You break your leg. Be careful.

Maggie

Is Granny Wendy the real, real Wendy from my play?

Moria

Yes. Sort of.

No, honey, not really. Jackie, don't be a sloucher. Take that gum out of your mouth. It's time to look our best. First impressions are the most important. Shoes tied. Shirt tucked. You know this. [arriving at Wendy's home, knocks on the door] Remember, you're in England, land of good manners. [the door opens, to old man behind the door] Uncle Tootles.

[chuckles and starts choking and Peter pats his chest out of his gum]
Tootles
[a housekeeper happily screamed in high pitch, when Peter yells happily and Moira shrieks suprisingly with all the kids]

It's snowing! [slams the door closed on the Bannings]

Look at these adorable children!

It's good to see you, Libby-- Linda-- Lisa-- Liza. I said that.

Oh, Moira, how are you? You look wonderful! Oh, my God! Look at the size-- Look at you! Such a sweet thing! Granny Wendy will be right down.

Moria

She's upstairs?

Oh, yeah, good.

Moria

Big boy. You could play rugby.

No, baseball.

Oh, look.

Moria

Did you do this for us?

Yes, been cooking all week.

Moria

Thank you.

You've been cooking? What've you been cooking? Mince pies? Snaps?

Moria

Peter, look at this. Look at this.

Who's that?

Moria

It's you.

Was I ever that young?

Moria

Yes.

What's gotten into you?

Moria

This house has gotten to me. Some of those things I was when I was young have never left me. Oh, thank God, Peter. We were children in these rooms.

Tootles
[searching for something on the floor]

Lost, lost, lost.

Lost what?

Tootles

I've lost my marbles.

Okay… Lisa? Lisa.

Liza.

Liza, I thought he was supposed to be in a home.

It broke Wendy's heart, it did. After all, Tootles is Wendy's first orphan. Which is which?

Large bag's mine, uh, that’s one’s Moira’s and the smaller ones are the children's bags.

Tootles
[we see Tootles asleep on the couch, on the table next to him are John Darling’s top hat and rounded glasses and Micheal Darling’s teddy bear. He begins to bark with Nana in his sleep.]

Hook! Hook! Hook. Hook. Hook. Hook. Hook. Hook. Hook!

Maggie

Jack.

Moria

You all right? Wendy?

Thank you, Nigel. Norman?

Neville

Neville, sir.

Neville. Is that English? [laughs] Merry Christmas.

Moria

I was proud of you.

Oh, really?

It was a beautiful speech.

Moria

Nice seeing Neville.

Yes, it was. Hello?

Liza? Tootles?

My God. The children.

Maggie!

Moria

Jack.

Peter

Jack.

Moria

Maggie! Jack! Answer me! Maggie!

The wind came up. The door closed on me...... and the children were screaming. The children were screaming!

Jack. Maggie. The window.

Jackie! Jackie!

Peter.

[Gran gently pushes the left door open. A NOTE! Stuck to the door with a strange dagger; calligraphy. Elegant signature from another age.] [reading]

"Dear Peter: Your presence is required at the request of your children. Kindest personal regards, J.A.S. Hook, Captain."

Tootles

Have to fly. Have to fight. Have to crow. Have to save Maggie. Have to save Jack. Hooky's back.

Who?

Gran.

Inspector Good
[he looks at Hook's note]

Well, the lab boys can analyze this little lot. So, Mr. and Mrs. Banning, we've wired the phones, and two of my lads will be outside at all times. It's possible that this whole thing is some kind of ridiculous prank.

My children are missing.

Inspector Good

Yes, but the literary history of the family and everything suggests... Well, let's hope so.

Tootles

I've forgotten how to fly.

Inspector Good

Yeah, well, one does. Good night, ma'am. Good night, sir.

Tootles
[as Inspector Good as his men left the house]

No more happy thoughts. Lost. Lost. Lost.

Tink? Tink? Tink?

Hello. Having trouble with the missus? You will have, by the time you get home.

[sees Tinkerbell on the Peter Pan statue]

Tink.

Say it, Peter. Say it and mean it.

I believe in fairies.

Do you know that place between sleep and awake……where you still remember dreaming? [Peter nods] That's where I'll always love you……Peter Pan. That's where I'll be waiting.

Ouch. Nana! Oh, give us a kiss! Come here, you drool machine! Maggie, Moira, Jack! Tink? Wow! Brad! Hi! Have you been holding this long? Uh-huh. I'm incredible! Yeah. Never Land. Uh-huh. Lost Boys. Jim Hook. Duel to the death. I'll fill you in later. Listen, I'd love to chat.... but I'm gonna climb a drainpipe now. Why? Because I ran out of fairy dust. If not, I would've flown up. "Why?"

There were pirates--!-

Maggie

And monsters there. Just like you said!

Maggie, Moira, Jack. Granny Wendy. Let me in. Please.

Excuse me, do you have an appointment?

What did I tell you about this window? Always keep it open! Never, ever, ever close. [his phone rings] I have to take this. [answers it] Have you ever known what it's like to feel the exhilaration of really flying? Feel this.

[he throws the phone out the window.]

Where have you been?

Maggie

Fly me, Daddy. Fly me!

Anytime, Maggie. To infinity and back again.

Tootles

Hello, Peter. I missed the adventure again, didn't I?

I think these belong to you.

Tootles
[Peter takes the bag of marbles from around his neck and hands them to Tootles. He pours the contents out into his hand, his marbles! Tootles’s looks shocked at first, before a smile appears and his face becomes overwhelmed with a look of utter joy.]

Look! See, look! I didn't lose my marbles after all! Wendy, look! See? I didn't lose my marbles after all!

Hello, boy.

Hello, Wendy lady. Give us a skwoodge.

Boy, why are you crying?

I don't know. A tear for every happy thought.

One for me?

One for me?

Maggie

One for me?

Tootles

And one for me! [laughs]

[all laughing] [screams]
Tootles

Seize the day!

[last lines]

So your adventures are over.

Oh, no. To live.... To live would be an awfully big adventure.
[The End]
