Peter Pan [to Hook, about a ticking sound]
I say, Captain, do you hear something?
Peter Pan What a pity, Mr Smee. I'm afraid we've lost the dear Captain.
Peter Pan Don't you understand, Tink? You mean more to me than anything in this whole world!
Peter Pan Well, I'm certainly proud of you... blockheads!
Scenes with Peter Pan
15 scenes Peter Pan Well, get on with it, girl.
My name's Wendy. Wendy Moira Angela Darling.
Peter Pan Wendy's enough.
But, Peter, how do we get to Never Land?
Peter Pan Fly, of course.
Fly?
Peter Pan It's easy! All you have to do is to... is to... is to... Ha! That's funny.
What's the matter? Don't you know?
Peter Pan Oh, sure. It's... It's just that I never thought about it before. Say, that's it! You think of a wonderful thought.
He can fly!
He can fly!
He flewed!
Peter Pan Now you try.
I'll think of a mermaid lagoon, underneath a magic moon.
I'll think I'm in a pirate's cave.
I think I'll be an Indian brave.
Peter Pan Now everybody try.
Wendy, John, Michael, Peter Pan
One, two, three!
Wendy, John, Michael
We can fly! We can fly! We can fly!
Peter Pan [the children all fall to the ground]
This won't do. What's the matter with you? All it takes is faith and trust. Oh! And something I forgot. Dust!
Wendy, John
Dust?
Dust?
Peter Pan Yep, just a little bit of pixie dust. Now, think of the happiest things. It's the same as having wings.
Peter Pan Tinker Bell! I hereby banish you forever.
Please, not forever.
Peter Pan Well, for a week then.
Peter Pan Wendy! Wendy! They were just havin' a little fun! Weren'tcha, girls?
Mermaid 1
That's all.
Mermaid 2
We were only trying to drown her.
Peter Pan Big chief greet little mother. How.
Ugh.
Peter Pan Oh Wendy, is that all you have to say? Everyone else thinks 'm wonderful.
Especially Tiger Lily.
Peter Pan [impersonating Captain Hook]
Mr. Smee! Just exactly what do you think you are doing?
Putting her back, captain, like you said.
Peter Pan I said nothing of the sort!
But captain...!
Peter Pan For the last time, Mr. Smee, take the princess back to her people! UNDERSTAND!?!?!?!?!?!?! (echoes)
Aye-aye, sir.
Peter Pan Oh, and one more thing: when you return to the ship, tell the whole crew to help themselves to me best rum.
Mr. Starkey
[Wendy has walked the plank, and Peter saves her]
No splash, Captain.
So, you want a splash, Mr Starkey? I'll give you a splash!
Peter Pan You're next, Hook! This time you've gone too far!
Fly! Fly! Fly! You coward!
Peter Pan Coward! Me?
Ha-ha-ha! You wouldn't dare fight old Hook man-to-man. You'd fly away like a cowardly sparrow!
Peter Pan Nobody calls Pan a coward and lives! I'll fight you man-to-man, with one hand behind my back.
You mean you won't fly?
No, don't, Peter! It's a trick!
Peter Pan I give my word, Hook.
Good, then let's have at it!
You wouldn't do old Hook in now, would you, lad? I'll go away forever. I'll do anything you say.
Peter Pan Well, all right. If ya say you're a codfish.
Peter Pan Louder!
I'm a codfish!
Peter Pan Well, well, a codfish on a hook.
I'll get you for this, Pan, if it's the last thing I do!
Peter Pan Mr. Crocodile, do you like codfish? [crocodile nods] You do?
Oh Peter, no!
Wendy Darling
I'm so glad you came back tonight. I might never have seen you.
Peter Pan Why?
Because I have to grow up tomorrow.
Peter Pan Grow up?!
Wendy Darling
Tonight's my last night in the nursery.
Peter Pan But that means no more stories!
Wendy Darling
[sniffling]
Mm-hmm.
Peter Pan No! I won't have it! Come on!
Wendy Darling
Bu-Bu-But where are we going?
Peter Pan To Neverland.
Wendy Darling
[Tink is shocked and checks from the keyhole]
Neverland!
Peter Pan You'll never grow up there.
Wendy Darling
Oh, Peter, it will be so wonderful. But wait! What would Mother say?
Peter Pan Mother? What's Mother?
Wendy Darling
Why, Peter, a mother is someone who... who loves and cares for you. And... And tells you stories.
Peter Pan Good! You can be our mother. Come on.
Wendy Darling
Now, just a minute, I... Let me see now. I-I have to pack. Oh, and I must leave a note when I'll be back. Of course, I couldn't stay too long. And then I'll have to... Oh, but Neverland. Oh, I... I-I'm so happy I... I think I'll give you a... a kiss.
Peter Pan [Tinker Bell is shocked and hurries desperately]
What's a... a kiss?
Oh, well, uh, I-I'll show you. [But then Tink grabs her hair locks and pulls her away from Peter] Oh!
Peter Pan Stop! Stop it, Tink!
[Peter tries to catch Tinker Bell with his hat while bouncing on Michael's bed, causing him to wake up and notice him]
Oh, Peter, it's just as I've always dreamed it would be. [notices] Oh, look, John, there's Mermaid Lagoon!
By Jove! And the Indian encampment!
Oh, look, there's Captain Hook and the pirates.
Peter Pan [But then a cannon ball is fired towards them]
Look out!
Peter Pan [They all take cover in the clouds as the cannon ball shoots past them]
Quick, Tink, take Wendy and the boys to the island. I'll stay here and draw Hook's fire. [whistling] Hook! Hook! You codfish! Here!
[More cannon fire is shot as Peter avoids them. Wendy is flying down but is having a hard time keeping up with Tinker Bell]
Tinker Bell?
[Tinker Bell is flying down fast]
Not so fast! Please, Tinker Bell! We can't keep up with you! Tinker Bell! Wait!
Wendy Darling
[At Mermaid Lagoon]
Just imagine, real live mermaids.
Peter Pan Would you like to meet 'em?
Wendy Darling
Oh, Peter, I'd love to.
Peter Pan All right, come on.
Red-Haired Mermaid
[He goes down fast while playing his panpipes]
It's Peter.
Mermaids
Oh!
Other Yellow-Haired Mermaid
Hello, Peter!
Black-Haired Mermaid
Hello, Peter!
Yellow-Haired Mermaid
Hello, Peter!
Other Red-Haired Mermaid
Hello, Peter! [Dives down and swims to see him, as Peter continues to play his panpipes and lands on rock where three of the mermaids are]
Peter Pan Hello, girls.
Other Yellow-Haired Mermaid
[Wendy follows down]
I'm so glad to see you.
Black-Haired Mermaid
Why did you stay away so long?
Other Red-Haired Mermaid
Did you miss me?
Red-Haired Mermaid
Tell us one of your adventures.
Yellow-Haired Mermaid
Something exciting.
Peter Pan Want to hear about the time I cut off Hook's hand and threw it to the crocodile?
Other Red-Haired Mermaid
Oh, I've always liked that one.
Black-Haired Mermaid
Me too.
Peter Pan Well, there I was on Marooner's Rock surrounded by 40...
Wendy Darling
Oh, Peter!
Peter Pan ...or 50 pirates...
Black-Haired Mermaid
Who's she?
Peter Pan Huh? Her? Oh, that's Wendy.
Yellow-Haired Mermaid
A girl?
Black-Haired Mermaid
What's she doing here?
Other Red-Haired Mermaid
And in her nightdress too. [to Wendy] Come on, dearie. Join us for a swim.
Wendy Darling
Oh, please, I'm not dressed for it.
Red-Haired Mermaid
Oh, but you must!
Yellow-Haired Mermaid
We insist!
No, no, please!
Other Red-Haired Mermaid
Too good for us, eh?
Peter! [Peter and the mermaids laugh on her, but now she's furious and...] If you dare to come near me again...
Peter Pan Wendy! Wendy! They were just having a little fun, weren't you, girls?
Yellow-Haired Mermaid
That's all.
Other Red-Haired Mermaid
We were only trying to drown her.
Peter Pan Ya see?
Wendy Darling
Well, if you think for one minute that I'm going to put up with a...
Peter Pan [But, Peter, suddenly, hears something in the distance]
Shh. Hold it, Wendy. [Leaping upon a rock that hung out over the sea he looks down and sees in a core beneath him a boat from the pirate ship] Yep, it's Hook, all right.
Yellow-Haired Mermaid
[At that dread name the mermaids plunge into the lagoon and disappear]
Hook!
Mermaids
Hook!
Peter Pan Quick, Wendy.
Peter Pan [He takes Wendy to check it out. He spots Hook, with Mr. Smee. They also notice the person who's tied up] [whispering]
They've captured Tiger Lily.
Peter Pan [The Tick-Tock is following Hook and Mr. Smee. He continues following Hook and Mr. Smee in the dingy. Peter flies up to check out where Hook and Mr. Smee are heading]
Looks like they're headin' for Skull Rock. Come on, Wendy. Let's see what they're up to.
[She flies up while getting help from Peter and follow the villains]
How!
Peter Pan How!
Wendy Darling
What's the chief doing, John?
John Darling
He's delivering an oration in sign language.
Michael Darling
What's he saying?
He says... "Peter Pan, mighty warrior. Save Tiger Lily. Make big chief heap glad."
Wendy Darling
[jokingly]
Well, he certainly doesn't look "heap glad."
Make Peter Pan heap big chief. You now Little Flying Eagle.
Peter Pan [whooping as an Indian]
(Cubby)
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! (Slightly and Nibs) Yay! (Twin #1) Flying Eagle! (Twin #2) Flying Eagle!
Bravo!
Wendy Darling
Oh, how wonderful!
Hooray!
[Peter flies back down and sits with the chief and Tiger Lily as they cross their legs and the Lost Boys follow along. Tiger Lily gives her father his long tobacco as he smokes]
Teach 'em paleface brother all about red man.
John Darling
Good, this should be most enlightening.
Uh, what makes the red man red?
Twin #1 When did he first say, "Ugh"?
First say, "Ugh"?
Why does he ask you, "How"?
Why does he ask you, "How"?
All
Hooray! Hooray for Captain Pan!
Peter Pan [turns his attention to the Lost Boys]
All right, ya swabs, aloft with ya! We're castin' off! Heave those halyards!
Wendy Darling
But, but, Peter... Oh, that is, Captain Pan.
Peter Pan At your service, madam.
Could you tell me, sir, where we're sailing?
Peter Pan To London, madam.
Wendy Darling
Oh, Peter. Michael! John! We're going home!
Peter Pan Man the capstan! Hoist anchor!
Peter Pan [The Lost Boys man the capstan and begin to hoist up the anchor]
Pixie dust!
[Tinker Bell gives a salute and flies around the ship spreading the pixie dust on the ship causing it to sparkle gold and it begins to fly. The ship makes its way to the sky as we see Neverland getting farther away before vanishing. Then we see the moon for a few seconds before we see the clock tower Big Ben tolling.]
