WD Wendy Darling
[At Mermaid Lagoon]
Just imagine, real live mermaids.
Would you like to meet 'em?
WD Wendy Darling
Oh, Peter, I'd love to.
RH Red-Haired Mermaid
[He goes down fast while playing his panpipes]
It's Peter.
OY Other Yellow-Haired Mermaid
Hello, Peter!
BH Black-Haired Mermaid
Hello, Peter!
YH Yellow-Haired Mermaid
Hello, Peter!
OR 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]
OY Other Yellow-Haired Mermaid
[Wendy follows down]
I'm so glad to see you.
BH Black-Haired Mermaid
Why did you stay away so long?
OR Other Red-Haired Mermaid
Did you miss me?
RH Red-Haired Mermaid
Tell us one of your adventures.
YH Yellow-Haired Mermaid
Something exciting.
Want to hear about the time I cut off Hook's hand and threw it to the crocodile?
OR Other Red-Haired Mermaid
Oh, I've always liked that one.
BH Black-Haired Mermaid
Me too.
Well, there I was on Marooner's Rock surrounded by 40...
WD Wendy Darling
Oh, Peter!
BH Black-Haired Mermaid
Who's she?
Huh? Her? Oh, that's Wendy.
YH Yellow-Haired Mermaid
A girl?
BH Black-Haired Mermaid
What's she doing here?
OR Other Red-Haired Mermaid
And in her nightdress too. [to Wendy] Come on, dearie. Join us for a swim.
WD Wendy Darling
Oh, please, I'm not dressed for it.
RH Red-Haired Mermaid
Oh, but you must!
YH Yellow-Haired Mermaid
We insist!
OR 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...
Wendy! Wendy! They were just having a little fun, weren't you, girls?
YH Yellow-Haired Mermaid
That's all.
OR Other Red-Haired Mermaid
We were only trying to drown her.
WD Wendy Darling
Well, if you think for one minute that I'm going to put up with a...
[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.
YH Yellow-Haired Mermaid
[At that dread name the mermaids plunge into the lagoon and disappear]
Hook!
[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.
[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]
G George
[George is putting out Nana for the night and he leashes her with a rope to her doghouse. She look at him sadly]
Dash it all, Nana, don't look at me like that. It's nothing personal. It's just that... Well, you're not really a nurse at all. You're, well, a dog. And the children aren't puppies. They're people. And sooner or later, Nana, people have to grow up.
MD 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.
GD George Darling
[yawns]
Oh, pshaw, Mary. You know I never mean those things. Do I, Nana?
MD 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?
WD Wendy Darling
[yawns]
Mmm. Hmm? Oh, Mother, we're back!
WD Wendy Darling
All except the Lost Boys. They weren't quite ready.
GD George Darling
Lost Bo... Ready?
WD Wendy Darling
To grow up. That's why they went back to Neverland.
GD George Darling
Neverland?
WD Wendy Darling
Yes, but I am.
GD George Darling
Uh, "am"?
WD Wendy Darling
Ready to grow up.
GD George Darling
Oh! Oh! Uh... Well, my dear, all in good time. After all, perhaps we were too...
WD 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...
GD George Darling
Kidnapped!
WD 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.
GD George Darling
Hmm. Mary, I'm going to bed.
WD 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.
MD Mary Darling
[notices the cloud formation with surprise]
George. George!
GD 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...
GD 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.
MD Mary Darling
George, dear!
C 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]
JD 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.
(Cubby)
Uh, how! (Slightly) How, chief!
For many moons red man fight paleface Lost Boys.
Sometime you win, sometime we win.
Okay, Chief. Uh, you win this time. Now turn us loose.
JD 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.
This time no turn 'em loose.
[laughs]
The chief's a great spoofer!
Me no spoof 'em! Where you hide Princess Tiger Lily?!
We ain't got your ol' princess!
JD John Darling
I've certainly never seen her.
[agreeing] (Cubby)
Me neither. [the twins] Honestly don't.
Heap big lie! If Tiger Lily not back by sunset... Burn 'em at stake!
All this has happened before, and it will all happen again. But this time, it happened in London. It happened on 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. Mrs. Darling believed that Peter Pan was the spirit of youth. But Mr. Darling... 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. Wendy, the eldest, not only believed. She was the supreme authority on Peter Pan and all his marvelous adventures. Nana, the nursemaid, being a dog, kept her opinions to herself, and viewed the whole affair with a certain tolerance.
