Mr. Darling
[seeing the pirate ship floating in the sky back to Never Land]
You know, I have the strangest feeling that I've seen that ship before. A long time ago, when I was very young.

Mr. Darling
That's no excuse. Wendy, haven't I warned you? Stuffing the boys' heads with a lot of silly stories.
Oh, but they aren't!
Mr. Darling
I say they are! Captain Crook, Peter Pirate...
Peter Pan, Father.
Mr. Darling
Pan, pirate, POPPYCOCK!
Mrs. Darling
But, George, do you think the children will be safe without Nana?
Mr. Darling
Safe? Of course they'll be safe. Why not?
Mrs. Darling
Well, Wendy said something about a shadow, and I...
Mr. Darling
Shadow? Whose shadow?
Mrs. Darling
Peter Pan's.
Mr. Darling
Oh, Peter Pan... Peter Pan! You don't say!
Mr. Darling
[high, mocking voice]
Goodness gracious, whatever shall we do?
Mrs. Darling
But George...
Mr. Darling
Sound the alarm!
Mrs. Darling
Really, I...
Mr. Darling
Call Scotland Yard!
For many moons red man fight paleface Lost Boys.
Ugh!
Sometime you win, sometime we win.
OK, Chief. Uh, you win this time. Now turn us loose.
John Darling
Turn us loose? You mean this is only a game?
Sure. When we win we turn them loose.
When they win, they turn us loose.
They turn us loose.
This time no turnum loose.
Huh?
The chief's a great spoofer.
Me no spoofum!
All this has happened before, and it will all happen again. But this time, it happened in London. It happened in a quiet street in Bloomsbury. That corner house over there is the home of the Darling family and Peter Pan chose this particular house because there were people here who believed in him. There was Mrs. Darling.
Mary Darling
George, dear, do hurry. We mustn’t be late for the party, you know.
Mrs. Darling believed that Peter Pan was the spirit of youth but Mr. Darling...
George Darling
Mary, unless I find my cuff links we don't go to the party. And if we don’t go to the party I can never show my face in the office again... And if I can never show–[hits the drawer] OW!
Well, Mr. Darling was a practical man. The boys, however, John and Michael, believed Peter Pan was a real person and made him the hero of all their nursery games.
John Darling
[as Captain Hook]
Blast you, Peter Pan!
Michael Darling
[as Peter Pan]
Take that! Give up, Captain Hook? You give up?
John Darling
[as Captain Hook]
Never! I'll teach you to cut off me hand!
Wendy Darling
[coming in; chuckling]
Oh, no, John, it was the "left" hand.
Oh, yes. Thank you, Wendy.
Wendy, the eldest, not only believed. She was the supreme authority of Peter Pan and all his marvelous adventures.
Oh, Nana, must we always take that nasty tonic?
Nana, the nursemaid, being a dog, kept her opinions to herself, and viewed the whole affair with a certain tolerance.
George Darling
That's no excuse. Wendy, haven't I warned you? Stuffing the boys' heads with a lot of silly stories.
Wendy Darling
Oh, but they aren't.
George
I say they are. Captain crook! Peter Pirate!
Peter Pan, Father.
George
Pan! Pirate! Poppycock!
Oh, no, Father. Father, have you...
John Darling
Oh, you don't understand.
George
Absolute poppycock! And let me tell you, this ridiculous...
Mary Darling
Now, George.
George
[mockingly]
"Now, George." [turning cross] "Now, George!" Well, "Now, George" will have he say!
Mary
Please, dear.
George
Mary, the child's growing up. It's high time she had a room of her own!
Father!
Mary
George!
What?
Michael Darling
No!
George
I mean it! Young lady, this is your last night in the nursery. And that's my last word on the matter...
Wendy Darling
But, Mother, I don't want to grow up.
Mary Darling
Now, dear, don't worry about it anymore tonight.
John Darling
He called Peter Pan "absolute poppycock."
Mary Darling
I'm sure he didn't mean it, John. Father was just upset.
Michael Darling
[sniffling]
Poor Nana, out there all alone.
Mary Darling
No more tears, Michael. It's a warm night. She'll be all right.
Michael Darling
Mother.
Mary Darling
What is it, dear?
Michael Darling
Buried treasure.
Mary Darling
Now, children. Don't judge your father too harshly. After all, he really loves you very much.
Wendy Darling
[She is about to lock the window]
Oh, don't lock it, Mother. He might come back.
Mary Darling
"He"?
Wendy Darling
Yes, uh, Peter Pan. You see, I found something that belongs to him.
Mary Darling
Oh, and what's that?
Wendy Darling
[yawns]
His shadow.
Mary Darling
"Shadow"?
Wendy Darling
Mmm, Nana had it. But I... I took it away.
Mary Darling
Oh? Yes, of course. Good night, dear.
Mary Darling
But, George, do you think the children will be safe without Nana?
George Darling
Safe? Of course they'll be safe. Why not?
Mary Darling
Well, Wendy said something about a shadow, and I...
George Darling
Shadow? Whose shadow?
Mary Darling
Peter Pan's.
George Darling
[realizes]
Oh, Peter Pan... PETER PAN?! You don't say. [high, mocking voice] Goodness gracious! Whatever shall we do?!
Mary Darling
But, George...
George Darling
[normal voice]
Sound the alarm!
Mary Darling
Really, I...
George Darling
Call Scotland Yard!
Mary Darling
There must have been someone.
George Darling
Oh, Mary, of all the impossible childish fiddle-faddle... Peter Pan, indeed. How can we expect the children grow up and be practical when you’re as bad as they are?
Mary Darking
George, dear.
George Darling
No wonder Wendy gets these idiotic ideas.
[Peter Pan goes down with a bright little dot following him down where they look at Nana tied up in the backyard. The dot of light turns out to be a fairy as it flies close to Peter's face while looking at Nana. Then they continue on to the Nursery Room's window]
John Darling
[Then at the Indian Camp we see John, Michael, and the Lost Boys tied an Indian stake while other Indians played their drums]
I'm frightfully sorry, old chaps. It's all my fault.
Aw, that's all right, Wildcat.
Aw, we don't mind.
That's okay.
For many moons red man fight paleface Lost Boys.
Ugh?
Sometime you win, sometime we win.
Okay, Chief. Uh, you win this time. Now turn us loose.
John Darling
Turn us loose? You mean this is only a game?
Sure! When we win, we turn them loose!
And when they win, they turn us loose.
They turn us loose.
This time no turn 'em loose.
Huh?
Me no spoof 'em! Where you hide Princess Tiger Lily?!
Uh, Tiger Lily?
We ain't got your ol' princess!
John Darling
I've certainly never seen her.
Heap big lie! If Tiger Lily not back by sunset... Burn 'em at stake!
How!
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.
[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"?
Mary Darling
[The scene changes to the Darling house with the clock chiming 11 p.m. Nana is barking happily now that she is brought back into the house by Mr. Darling]
George, I'm so glad you changed your mind about Wendy. After all, she's still a child.
George Darling
[yawns]
Oh, pshaw, Mary. You know I never mean those things. Do I, Nana?
Mary Darling
[Mary opens the nursery room and looks in and gasps]
Oh! [finds Wendy's bed empty] Wendy! [Then she finds Wendy sleeping at the window] Wendy, what on earth are you doing there?
Wendy Darling
[yawns]
Mmm. Hmm? Oh, Mother, we're back!
George Darling
Back?
Wendy Darling
All except the Lost Boys. They weren't quite ready.
George Darling
Lost Bo... Ready?
Wendy Darling
To grow up. That's why they went back to Neverland.
George Darling
Neverland?
Wendy Darling
Yes, but I am.
George Darling
Uh, "am"?
Wendy Darling
Ready to grow up.
George Darling
Oh! Oh! Uh... Well, my dear, all in good time. After all, perhaps we were too...
Wendy Darling
Oh, but, Mother, it was such a wonderful adventure. Tinker Bell and the mermaids and Peter Pan. Oh, he was the most wonderful of all. Why, why, even when we were kidnapped, I...
George Darling
Kidnapped!
Wendy Darling
Mm-hmm. I knew Peter Pan would save us, and he did. And we all called him a codfish! [laughing] Uh, Captain Hook, I mean. And then we sailed away on a ship in the sky.
George Darling
Hmm. Mary, I'm going to bed.
Wendy Darling
[She spots a cloud in the shape of Hook's ship flying in the sky]
Oh, Mother. He really is wonderful, isn't he? See how well he sails the ship.
Mary Darling
[notices the cloud formation with surprise]
George. George!
George Darling
Now what, Mary? [But then he stammers with shock. He spots the cloud in the shape of Hook's ship flying in the sky] Nana, d-did you see...
Nana
[barks]
George Darling
You know, I have the strangest feeling… that I've seen that ship before. A long time ago, when I was very young.
Mary Darling
George, dear!
Wendy Darling
Father!
Chorus
[Wendy, her parents and Nana look up with smiles to the cloud in the shape of Hook's ship]
When there's a smile in your heart
There's no better time to start
Think of all the joy you'll find
When you leave the world behind
And bid your cares goodbye
You can fly
You can fly
You can fly
[Song ends]
