[The movie begins with a school play of Peter Pan.]
Boy, why are you crying?
PP Peter Pan Actor
Because I couldn't get my shadow to stick. Besides, I wasn't crying.

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....
[whispers]
Peter, you're missing it.
PB Peter Banning
[on phone]
All right. I want a meeting, tomorrow a.m.
[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!
Strike three! You're out.
M Moria
Bluejays, come on! Jack! Come on, Bluejays! Bluejays!
Where is your father? He's missing it.
Daddy'll be here. He promised.
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.
S Secretary
Oh, yes, sir.
Number those. Who wrote it?
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."
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.
If it's your time to go, it's your time to go.
A All
Don't let your arms get tired!
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!
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.
That's very nice, dear. What's that?
Fire. Really? Is that our plane?
That's Jack, that's me, that's Mom and that's you.
Where's my parachute? I won't make it to my next birthday.
You won't die without a phone.
I got the phone in the briefcase.
Why didn't I have a parachute, Jackie?
Will you stop? You can break a window.
They're double-layered. You can't break them.
You're afraid you'll get sucked out.
I'm not afraid of being sucked out.
Yes, you are. You're afraid you'll be sucked out.
Just stop. Jack, next season, I'm coming to six games. I promise.
Yeah, be sure to buy enough videotape.
Hey. Jack. My word is my bond.
[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?
M 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.
M Moria
Maggie. Maggie. Peter, it's number 14.
M Moria
What do you say to Granny Wendy? "How do you do?"
Jack, get down from there. You break your leg. Be careful.
Is Granny Wendy the real, real Wendy from my play?
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]
[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.
M Moria
Big boy. You could play rugby.
M Moria
Did you do this for us?
Yes, been cooking all week.
You've been cooking? What've you been cooking? Mince pies? Snaps?
M Moria
Peter, look at this. Look at this.
M 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.
[searching for something on the floor]
Lost, lost, lost.
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.
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!
Peter, do you like my dress?
Great, Gran. Real nice. Thanks. Hey, Brad. Good news? What? What Sierra Club report? I thought we had these guys.
He's trying to suck my blood. He drools all over my neck.
M Moria
That's a portable phone--
A Cozy Blue Owl? Well, listen. Casualties of evolution. Ask them if anybody misses the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
I do! Boy, do I ever! Wow, you kidding?
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?
Will everybody just shut up?!
Leave me alone for one moment! Moira, get them out of here, will you?! I'm on the phone call of my life!
Come on, Jack. Come on. Out, out, out.
Come with me. I'll show you the window where your father and I used to stand and blow out the stars.
I never should've come here. I should've stayed till the deal was done.
You haven't been here for 10 years. Granny asked you to visit.
You promised the children some real time here. You've looked at your cell more than them.
How many more broken promises, Peter?
[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.
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?
[after throwing Peter's phone out the window]
I'm sorry about your deal.
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.
"All children, except one, grow up." Now, you know where fairies come from, don't you, Maggie? [reads with Maggie] "When the first baby laughed for the first time... the laugh broke into a thousand pieces... and they all went skipping about. That was the beginning of fairies." [She flips through a beautiful 1911 first edition of Peter and Wendy to show the original illustration of Wendy Darling sitting at the windowsill staring up into the starry night sky.] And look. [turns the page to show an illustration of her young self] I'm Wendy. Or was, a long time ago.
But Jack says you're not the really "real" Wendy.
[Maggie says that Jack told her Wendy is not the "real" Wendy]
Do you see where Jack is? Well, that's the same window and this is the same room where we made up bedtime stories about Peter and Never Land and scary old Captain Hook. And do you know, Mr. Barrie…well, Sir James, our neighbour, he loved our stories so much that he wrote them all down in a book. Oh, dear me, 80 years ago.
[upon meeting Wendy]
You're really old.
I'm sorry to break this up, but I have to steal Granny or she'll be late for the most important event of her life.
Daddy, I made something for you. You're gonna love this. [holds up a parachute] It's a hug. Next time you fly, you won't have to be scared.
She's made you a parachute.
That's very clever, dear. Jack? Jack, get away from there. What have I told you about playing near open windows? Keep this window closed. I told you this a hundred times. Do we have open windows at home?
No. They've all got bars on them.
That mean, scary man at the window stole it.
But he says he's a window washer.
A baseball glove. You can catch things with it...... take hot things out of the oven, or you can hit your sister with it.
Tootles made it for me. It smells nice.
Hey, Jack. Faker. Jack, you're in charge now. This is my very special watch, so you can keep track of the time.
Don't go out, Mom. Please.
Dear night-lights, protect my sleeping babes. Burn clear and steadfast tonight.
I read recently that they're now using lawyers instead of rats for experiments. They do this for two reasons: One, the scientists become less attached to the lawyers. And two, there are certain things that even rats won't do. I thank the board of trustees of the Ormond Street Hospital for having me here this evening and beg your forgiveness because normally I'm used to addressing shareholders. We don't know each other, and I doubt that we have very much in common... except this wonderful woman, Wendy Angela Darling. Granny Wendy brought me in from the cold. She taught me to read and write. She even found people to be my parents and adopt me. She's loved so many children... just so efforlete--efforse-- effortlessly. That's her achievement. Many of you here tonight were once lost children... but Granny Wendy found parents and homes for each of you... and saved you. That's her miracle. I know that if you could stand now you would express much better than I have your feelings of gratitude appreciation and warm feelings for this wonderful woman. I guess we do have something in common. We're orphans.
[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?
Thank you, Nigel. Norman?
Neville. Is that English? [laughs] Merry Christmas.
M Moria
I was proud of you.
It was a beautiful speech.
M Moria
Nice seeing Neville.
M 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.
[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."
Have to fly. Have to fight. Have to crow. Have to save Maggie. Have to save Jack. Hooky's back.
Nothing we can do. The Police will do everything-- The police will do everything they can.
The police can do nothing.
Oh, really? Maybe we should call the American police.
In a crisis, we English always make a cup of tea. Moira, would you?
Don't forget to warm the pot.
Don't worry, Gran Wendy, I wasn't gonna leave.
[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.
How far back can you remember, Peter?
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.
You were 12, nearly 13. I mean, before that.
There's nothing before that.
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.
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.
Moira! Gran, I'mma go get Moira.
Do you know I've tried to tell you so many times--
Listen, I-I'm not ready to deal with this now.
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.
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.
