Peter Pan quotes

Page 2 of 4
[as Hook lowers a bomb into Peter Pan's hideout]

But, Captain, wouldn't it be more humane-like to slit his throat?

Aye, that it would, Mr Smee. But I have given me word not to lay a finger, or a hook, on Peter Pan. And Captain Hook never breaks a promise.

Oh, dear, dear, dear, Captain Hook. Shooting a man in the middle of his cadenza? That ain't good form, you know.

"Good form," Mr Smee? Blast good form! [waves his hook in front of Smee] Did Pan show good form when he did this to me?

Why, Captain, cutting your hand off was only a childish prank, you might say.

Aye! But throwing it to the crocodile! That cursed beast liked the taste of me so well he's followed me ever since, licking his chops for the rest of me.

Well, at last, Captain Hook's comin' to his senses.

[surprised]

Odd's fish!

[to Tiger Lily]

I told him all along you Indians wouldn't betray Peter Pan.

[sweetly]

And just what do you think you are doing, Mr. Smee?

[He stops the rowboat from moving by placing his foot on it]

Just what you told me, Captain: carrying out your orders.

My orders?

Why, yes, Captain. Didn't you just say to go...

[shoving Smee's rowboat back into Skull Rock]

Put her back, you blithering idiot! [to himself] My orders. Of all the bumbling...

But, George, do you think the children will be safe without Nana?

Safe? Of course they'll be safe. Why not?

Well, Wendy said something about a shadow, and I...

Shadow? Whose shadow?

Peter Pan's.

Oh, Peter Pan... Peter Pan! You don't say!

[high, mocking voice]

Goodness gracious, whatever shall we do?

But George...

Sound the alarm!

Really, I...

Call Scotland Yard!

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.

[impersonating Captain Hook]

Mr. Smee! Just exactly what do you think you are doing?

Putting her back, captain, like you said.

I said nothing of the sort!

But captain...!

For the last time, Mr. Smee, take the princess back to her people! UNDERSTAND!?!?!?!?!?!?! (echoes)

Aye-aye, sir.

Oh, and one more thing: when you return to the ship, tell the whole crew to help themselves to me best rum.

Orders from Pan? Hold it men!

Nibs
[Cubby bangs the Twins' heads together]

What's the orders, Tink?

Cubby
[Tinkerbell waves her arms and makes her noises]

A terrible what?

Wendy bird!

Cubby

Wendy bird?

[Tinkerbell makes more movements]

Flying this way?

Cubby

Pan's order's are what?

Cubby
[Tinkerbell makes her noises and kicks her feet]

Smash it?

Kick it?

Twins

Stomp it?

All
[Tinkerbell shakes her head and makes shooting motions]

Shoot it down!
[All grab slingshots and go to find Wendy]

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.

Wendy Darling

I'm so glad you came back tonight. I might never have seen you.

Why?

Because I have to grow up tomorrow.

Grow up?!

Wendy Darling

Tonight's my last night in the nursery.

But that means no more stories!

Wendy Darling
[sniffling]

Mm-hmm.

No! I won't have it! Come on!

Wendy Darling

Bu-Bu-But where are we going?

To Neverland.

Wendy Darling
[Tink is shocked and checks from the keyhole]

Neverland!

You'll never grow up there.

Wendy Darling

Oh, Peter, it will be so wonderful. But wait! What would Mother say?

Mother? What's Mother?

Wendy Darling

Why, Peter, a mother is someone who... who loves and cares for you. And... And tells you stories.

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.

[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!

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]

But, Peter, how do we get to Never Land?

Fly, of course.

Fly?

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?

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!

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.

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.

[But then a cannon ball is fired towards them]

Look out!

[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!
