John He can fly!
He flewed!
Now you try.
I'll think of a mermaid lagoon, underneath a magic moon.
John I'll think I'm in a pirate's cave.
I think I'll be an Indian brave.
Now everybody try.
Wendy, John, Michael, Peter Pan
One, two, three!
Wendy, John, Michael
We can fly! We can fly! We can fly!
[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?
Yep, just a little bit of pixie dust. Now, think of the happiest things. It's the same as having wings.
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.
John 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!
John 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...
Oh, Peter, it's just as I've always dreamed it would be. [notices] Oh, look, John, there's Mermaid Lagoon!
John By Jove! And the Indian encampment!
Oh, look, there's Captain Hook and the pirates.
[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!
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?
John 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!
John 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"?
