Boy, why are you crying?
PP Peter Pan Actor
Because I couldn't get my shadow to stick. Besides, I wasn't crying.

WA Wendy Actress
I think it's perfectly sweet of you. I shall give you a kiss if you like. Don't you know what a kiss is?
PP Peter Pan Actor
I shall, once you give one to me. Now I shall give you a kiss. I don't ever wanna become a man. Yuck. I always wanna be a little boy and to have fun.
K Kids
[singing]
We wanna be like Peter Pan. We don't wanna grow up.
PB Peter Banning
[on phone]
Brad. Yeah, I'm at my daughter's play.
K Kids
[singing]
When it's time to be a man, we're not gonna show up.
PB Peter Banning
[on phone]
It's impossible. I'm on a plane to London tomorrow night with my family. A children's hospital is dedicating an entire wing to Granny Wendy. Brad....
Moira
[whispers]
Peter, you're missing it.
PB Peter Banning
[on phone]
All right. I want a meeting, tomorrow a.m.
Jack
[whispers]
Dad, my game. You promised.
PB Peter Banning
[on phone]
Listen, it's my son's big game. Last game of the season. Santa Series. I gotta be there. I promised. So... We'll make it a short meeting. [whispers to Jack] I'll be there. My word is my bond.
K Kids
[singing]
We never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, ever wanna grow up. Yuck!
U Umpire
Strike three! You're out.
M Moria
Bluejays, come on! Jack! Come on, Bluejays! Bluejays!
Moira
Where is your father? He's missing it.
M Maggie
Daddy'll be here. He promised.
PB Peter Banning
Jerry? Jack?
PB Peter Banning
I said that. Take the camera. Go to the game ahead of me. Film what I miss.
S Secretary
Mr. Banning, this is the speech for your grandmother's tribute.
PB Peter Banning
On cards?
S Secretary
Oh, yes, sir.
PB Peter Banning
Number those. Who wrote it?
PB Peter Banning
I loved his annual report. Read it.
S Secretary
"Honoured guests, for the past 70 years, the Granny Wendy we honour tonight has given hope and care and life to hundreds of orphans."
PB Peter Banning
Great. Very personal.
M Maggie
Mommy, where's Daddy?
PB Peter Banning
My briefcase.
PB Peter Banning
Well... gotta fly.
S Secretary
Don't worry. More people crash in cars than plane.
S Secretary
It's a lot safer to fly than crossing the street.
S Secretary
Don't look down.
PB Peter Banning
If it's your time to go, it's your time to go.
A All
Don't let your arms get tired!
PB Peter Banning
What if it's the pilot's time to go?
C Coach
Come on, keep us alive, Banning! Keep us alive!
J Jim
Hi, Mrs. Banning. I'm from the office. Which one's your son?
C Coach
Come on, Jack! Come on, pal! Bear down! Bear down! Come on, Jack! Don't look at me! Focus! Stay focused! Come on, Jack. One time, Jack. Come on, buddy! Line them up. Line them up.
M Moria
Please, not a curve ball. Please, not a curve ball.
LL Little League Player
Mama wants a new pair of shoes. Drive me home, Jack!
U Umpire
That's the game!
PB Peter Banning
Yeah? Yeah, Brad, that's real good.
PC Plane Captain (Hook)
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, your Captain again. Please do not allow this minor turbulence to disturb you. For now, please sit back, relax. Enjoy the remainder of the flight. Thank you.
M Maggie
Look what Jack drew.
PB Peter Banning
That's very nice, dear. What's that?
PB Peter Banning
Fire. Really? Is that our plane?
PB Peter Banning
Who are these people?
M Maggie
That's Jack, that's me, that's Mom and that's you.
PB Peter Banning
Where's my parachute? I won't make it to my next birthday.
Moira
You won't die without a phone.
PB Peter Banning
I got the phone in the briefcase.
PB Peter Banning
Why didn't I have a parachute, Jackie?
Jack
Take a wild guess.
Jack
Jack.
PB Peter Banning
Will you stop? You can break a window.
Jack
They're double-layered. You can't break them.
PB Peter Banning
Give me that.
Jack
You're afraid you'll get sucked out.
PB Peter Banning
I'm not afraid of being sucked out.
Jack
Yes, you are. You're afraid you'll be sucked out.
PB Peter Banning
Just stop. Jack, next season, I'm coming to six games. I promise.
Jack
Yeah, be sure to buy enough videotape.
PB Peter Banning
Hey. Jack. My word is my bond.
Jack
Yeah, junk bond!
PB Peter Banning
[he hits the ceiling door in the plane with his ball, and causes the oxygen masks to drop down and scare Peter half to death]
What's the matter with you? When are you gonna stop acting like a child?
Jack
I am a child.
PB Peter Banning
Grow up.
M Moria
[we see Peter walks up the stairs way as the cold winter wind cans be heard echoing through the house. He approaches the doors of the nursery, where the wind is heard loudest and opens them up.] [Enter. Nursey - Continuous] [Peter walks into the nursery, we see that the French windows are open with the currents blowing in the wind. Peter look around the room, almost seeming to remember something. He looks and stairs at the beautiful, colourful paintings on the walls.] [Paintings of Never Land!] [including the great Never Bird flying through the air, gorgeous Mermaids lounging around in Mermaid Lagoon, the Jolly Roger anchored near by and Tick-Tock the Crocodile following a rowboat being rowed by Mr. Smee -- with Captain James Hook at the front of the boat.] [Peter looks almost frightened by the image of Hook, as he shivers from the cold. He rushes over and closes the windows, keeping them shut with the window clasp which, ironically enough is in the shape of a hook.] [off-screen]
Peter?
M Moria
[off-screen]
Brad's on the line. He says it's urgent!
GW Granny Wendy
Peter, do you like my dress?
PB Peter Banning
Great, Gran. Real nice. Thanks. Hey, Brad. Good news? What? What Sierra Club report? I thought we had these guys.
M Maggie
He's trying to suck my blood. He drools all over my neck.
PB Peter Banning
What did they find?
M Moria
That's a portable phone--
PB Peter Banning
A Cozy Blue Owl? Well, listen. Casualties of evolution. Ask them if anybody misses the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Jack
I do! Boy, do I ever! Wow, you kidding?
PB Peter Banning
Wait a minute. You telling me a 10-inch owl has a 50-mile mating radius? Why don't they just fornicate someplace else? You're telling-- A $5-billion deal is falling apart because of this? Why doesn't somebody just shoot me in the head?
Jack
Bang! Bang!
PB Peter Banning
Will everybody just shut up?!
Jack
I'm sorry.
PB Peter Banning
Leave me alone for one moment! Moira, get them out of here, will you?! I'm on the phone call of my life!
Moira
Come on, Jack. Come on. Out, out, out.
GW Granny Wendy
Come with me. I'll show you the window where your father and I used to stand and blow out the stars.
PB Peter Banning
I never should've come here. I should've stayed till the deal was done.
Moira
You haven't been here for 10 years. Granny asked you to visit.
PB Peter Banning
I've been busy.
Moira
You promised the children some real time here. You've looked at your cell more than them.
PB Peter Banning
That's not true.
Moira
How many more broken promises, Peter?
PB Peter Banning
[Peter's phone rings; Peter and Moira share a tense moment of silence]
It's Brad, Moira. I gotta take this call. I gotta fix this.
Moira
No, you gotta fix your family first.
B Brad
[Peter prepares to answer his phone, but Moira grabs it and throws it out the window.] [on phone]
Peter, hello? Peter, are you there?
PB Peter Banning
What...?
Moira
[after throwing Peter's phone out the window]
I'm sorry about your deal.
PB Peter Banning
You hated the deal.
Moira
I hated the deal. But I'm sorry you feel so badly about it. Your children love you. They want to play with you. How long do you think that lasts? Soon Jack may 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'll be running after them for a bit of attention. It's so fast, Peter. It's a few years, then it's over. And you are not being careful. And you are missing it.
B Brad
[on phone]
Peter, where are you? Peter. Peter. Peter.
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!
M Moria
You all right? Wendy?
PB Peter Banning
Thank you, Nigel. Norman?
PB Peter Banning
Neville. Is that English? [laughs] Merry Christmas.
M Moria
I was proud of you.
PB Peter Banning
Oh, really?
GW Granny Wendy
It was a beautiful speech.
M Moria
Nice seeing Neville.
PB Peter Banning
Yes, it was. Hello?
Moira
Liza? Tootles?
GW Granny Wendy
My God. The children.
M Moria
Maggie! Jack! Answer me! Maggie!
Liza
The wind came up. The door closed on me...... and the children were screaming. The children were screaming!
PB Peter Banning
Jack. Maggie. The window.
Moira
Jackie! Jackie!
PB Peter Banning
[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.
Moira
Gran.
PB Peter Banning
Nothing we can do. The Police will do everything-- The police will do everything they can.
GW Granny Wendy
The police can do nothing.
PB Peter Banning
Oh, really? Maybe we should call the American police.
GW Granny Wendy
In a crisis, we English always make a cup of tea. Moira, would you?
Moira
Yes, of course, Gran.
GW Granny Wendy
Don't forget to warm the pot.
PB Peter Banning
I'll go, Moira.
PB Peter Banning
Don't worry, Gran Wendy, I wasn't gonna leave.
GW Granny Wendy
Hand me my book, please.
GW Granny Wendy
[Peter grabs a beautiful 1911 copy of Peter and Wendy from her nightstand and hands it to Gran.]
It's time to tell you, at last.
PB Peter Banning
Tell me what?
GW Granny Wendy
How far back can you remember, Peter?
PB Peter Banning
I remember the hospital on Great Ormond Street. You worked with orphans. You taught me to read, you arranged for the adoption by my American parents, Hank and Jane Banning.
GW Granny Wendy
You were 12, nearly 13. I mean, before that.
PB Peter Banning
There's nothing before that.
GW Granny Wendy
Try, Peter. Do try.
PB Peter Banning
Nothing.
GW Granny Wendy
You know, when I was young...... no other girl held your favour the way I did. I half expected you to alight on the church...... and forbid my vows on my wedding day. I wore a pink satin sash. But you didn't come.
PB Peter Banning
Grandma?
GW Granny Wendy
Yes, I was an old lady when I wrapped you in blankets. A grandmother. With my 13-year-old granddaughter asleep in the bed. Moira. And when you saw her...... that was when you decided not to go back to Never Land.
GW Granny Wendy
To Never, Never Land.
PB Peter Banning
Moira! Gran, I'mma go get Moira.
GW Granny Wendy
Do you know I've tried to tell you so many times--
PB Peter Banning
Maybe the tea's ready.
GW Granny Wendy
I knew you'd forgotten.
PB Peter Banning
Listen, I-I'm not ready to deal with this now.
GW Granny Wendy
Now, I must! Peter!
GW Granny Wendy
The stories are true. I swear to you. I swear on everything I adore. And now he's come back to seek his revenge. The fight isn't over for Captain James Hook. He wants you back. He knows you'll follow Maggie and Jack to the ends of the earth and beyond. And, by Heaven, you must find a way. Only you can save your children. Somehow, you must go back. You must make yourself remember.
PB Peter Banning
Remember what?
GW Granny Wendy
Peter, don't you know who you are? [turns the page of a storybook to reveal an illustration of Peter as Peter Pan, as Peter is stunned/confused at the meaning] Yes, boy. Yes.
PB Peter Banning
Gotta fly. Happy thought. Happy thought, happy thought, happy thought, happy.... One great, big happy thought! Less is more. Less is more. I can...! "Tootles. Wendy. John. Michael. Peter."
TB Tinker Bell
Be careful, Peter. You're a lot taller than you used to be. Well, say something. Do you like my dress?
PB Peter Banning
You look beautiful. What's the occasion?
TB Tinker Bell
You are. It's a welcome-home party.
PB Peter Banning
What happened here?
TB Tinker Bell
Burnt it when you didn't come back.
PB Peter Banning
A Kiss. Wendy. This is Wendy's house. Tootles and Nibs built it for her. I remember. Wendy used to sit in that chair.
PB Peter Banning
But it wasn't there. It was here. We used to sit here while she'd darn socks and tell us stories. She slept here. Tink, your apartment was right here.
PB Peter Banning
Little Michael in his basket bed right here. John.
PB Peter Banning
[Peter rushes to the other side where he found a small teddy bear.]
Teddy. My Teddy. Mother used to put him in the pram to keep me company I remember my mother. I remember her.
[flashbacks begin from his childhood. As a baby, he was listening to his mother discussing the future.] Peter's Mother: You can be sure, very fine schools indeed. First, he will attend Whitehall, then Oxford And of course.... after graduation, he will prepare for a judgeship in the highest court...making time for marriage and family and all of that. Just like his father.
TB Tinker Bell
Isn't that what grownups want for their children?
PB Peter Banning
I was afraid because I didn't want to grow up because everybody who grows up has to die someday. So I ran away. Tink... you came and you saved me. You brought me to Never Land. You taught me to fly. But I was still a little boy, and I missed my mother. So I decided to fly home to my very own window. But it was shut. They'd forgotten about me. I found other windows to visit, ones that weren't shut closed on me. That's how I met Wendy. I chased my shadow in her nursery. I expected my shadow and I would join together like drops of water.
YW Young Wendy
[Young Peter tries to get his shadow back, but he fails doing so.]
Boy. [Peter hears her and gets up] Why are you crying?
YP Young Peter
What's your name?
YW Young Wendy
Wendy Moira Angela Darling. What's yours?
PB Peter Banning
I came back many times for Wendy, always in the spring.
PB Peter Banning
And Wendy kept getting older... and older. And then I came back the last time.
W Wendy
Peter, I can't come with you. I've forgotten how to fly. I'm old, Peter. Ever so much more than 20 I grew up a long time ago.
YP Young Peter
No, no, no... you promised!
W Wendy
I have children of my own now. They have children of their own. That's my grandchild, Moira asleep in the bed.
PB Peter Banning
[Young Peter looked and notice his first love, Moira, in her bed.]
When I saw her lying there sleeping....at that moment something changed in me forever.
YP Young Peter
I shall give her a kiss.
W Wendy
No. No, Peter. No buttons, no thimbles. I couldn't bear her heart to be broken when she finds she can't keep you.
YP Young Peter
No. I mean a real kiss.
TB Tinker Bell
[Tink from the outside watches but was sadden when Peter kisses Moira. The small thimble fell to the ground. we switch to the present]
I can see why you have trouble finding a happy thought. So many sad memories, Peter.
PB Peter Banning
Bye, Teddy. Not Teddy. Daddy! Daddy.
Moira
[Cut to a memory of Jack's birth.]
Peter, you're a daddy.
PB Peter Banning
[memory]
Hi, Jack.
PB Peter Banning
[voiceover]
I know why I came back I know why I grew up. I wanted to be a father.
PB Peter Banning
[memory]
I'm a daddy.
PB Peter Banning
[Cut back to present day, Peter finally got his happy thought.]
My happy thought. I got it. I got it! I found it! [laughs] I lost it. [screams]
TB Tinker Bell
Just hold that happy thought, Peter!
PB Peter Banning
Tink? Tink? Tink?
Sweeper (Smee)
Hello. Having trouble with the missus? You will have, by the time you get home.
PB Peter Banning
[sees Tinkerbell on the Peter Pan statue]
Tink.
TB Tinker Bell
Say it, Peter. Say it and mean it.
PB Peter Banning
I believe in fairies.
TB Tinker Bell
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.
PB Peter Banning
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?"
Jack
There were pirates--!-
M Maggie
And monsters there. Just like you said!
PB Peter Banning
Maggie, Moira, Jack. Granny Wendy. Let me in. Please.
Jack
Excuse me, do you have an appointment?
PB Peter Banning
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.
Moira
[he throws the phone out the window.]
Where have you been?
M Maggie
Fly me, Daddy. Fly me!
PB Peter Banning
Anytime, Maggie. To infinity and back again.
Tootles
Hello, Peter. I missed the adventure again, didn't I?
PB Peter Banning
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!
GW Granny Wendy
Hello, boy.
PB Peter Banning
Hello, Wendy lady. Give us a skwoodge.
GW Granny Wendy
Boy, why are you crying?
PB Peter Banning
I don't know. A tear for every happy thought.
GW Granny Wendy
One for me?
Jack
One for me?
Tootles
And one for me! [laughs]
Liza
[all laughing] [screams]
Tootles
Seize the day!
GW Granny Wendy
[last lines]
So your adventures are over.
PB Peter Banning
Oh, no. To live.... To live would be an awfully big adventure.
[The End]
