• Peter : Forget them, Wendy. Forget them all. Come with me where you'll never, never have to worry about grown up things again.

  Wendy : Never is an awfully long time.

• [Peter and Wendy land to talk to mermaids to find John and Michael] 

  Wendy : Oh, how sweet!

  [Peter looks disgusted] 

  Wendy : Are mermaids not sweet?

  Peter : They'll sweetly drown you if you get too close.

• Wendy : Peter. You won't forget me, will you?

  Peter : Me? Forget? Never.

  Wendy : Will you ever come back?

  Peter : To hear stories... About me.

• Peter : I want always to be a boy, and have fun.

  Wendy : You say so, but I think it is your biggest pretend.

• Wendy : Peter, it is perfectly lovely the way you talk about girls. I should like to give you a kiss.

  [Peter holds his hand out] 

  Wendy : Don't you know what a kiss is?

  Peter : I shall know when you give me one.

• Wendy : Where do you live?

  Peter : Second to the right, and then straight on till morning.

  Wendy : They put that on the letters?

  Peter : Don't get any letters.

  Wendy : But your mother gets letters.

  Peter : Don't have a mother.

  Wendy : No wonder you were crying.

  Peter : I wasn't crying about mothers. I was crying because I can't get this shadow to stick. And I wasn't crying.

• Peter : Wendy? One girl's worth more than 20 boys.

  Wendy : [under bed sheets]  You really think so?

  Peter : I live with boys, the Lost Boys, they are well named!

  Wendy : Who are they?

  [asking as she gets out from under the sheets and makes Peter fall off the bed] 

  Peter : Children who fall out of their prams when the nurse is not looking. If they are not claimed in seven days, they are sent to the Neverland.

  Wendy : Are there girls too?

  Peter : Girls are much too clever to fall out of their prams.

  [he says as he looks through the heart in Wendy's bed] 

• Wendy : Once upon a time there was a boy named Peter Pan, who decided not to grow up.

  Hook : [stabs the mast with his hook next to Wendy's head]  Skip the prologue.

  Wendy : So... he flew away to the Neverland... where the pirates are.

  Noodler : [gasps]  Was one of them pirates called Noodler?

  Wendy : Yes.

  Noodler : Captain, did you hear? I am in a story-

  [Hook shoots him] 

• Wendy : Peter, I am sorry I must grow up. But... this is yours.

  [Hook grabs her] 

  Wendy : [to Hook]  Tis just a thimble.

  Captain Hook : [scoffs]  How like a girl!

  [the pirates laugh] 

  Captain Hook : By all means, my beauty, give Peter Pan your precious thimble.

  Wendy : This belongs to you and always will.

  [Kisses Peter] 

  John : That was no thimble...

  Michael : That was her hidden kiss.

• Wendy : This belongs to you, and always will.

• [Wendy has just become the Lost Boys' mother] 

  Peter : Welcome, mother! Discipline. That's what fathers believe in. We must spank the children immediately before they try to kill you again. In fact, we should kill them.

  [turns and chases after the Boys with a sword] 

  Wendy : Peter! Father! I agree that they're... perfectly horrid, but... kill them and they should think themselves important.

  The Lost Boys : So important!

  Curly : And unique!

  Wendy : I... suggest something far more dreadful. Medicine. It's the most beastly, disgusting stuff. The sticky, sweet kind.

  The Lost Boys : Kill us! Please kill us!

• Peter : Well, I will not grow up! You cannot make me! I will banish you like Tinkerbell.

  Wendy : I WILL NOT BE BANISHED!

  Peter : Then go home. Go home and grow up. And take your feelings with you!

• Wendy : Sir, you are both ungallant and deficient!

  Peter : How am I deficient?

  Wendy : You're just a boy.

• Wendy : My parents wanted me to grow up.

  Captain Hook : Growing up is such a barbarous business, full of inconvenience... and pimples.

• [Wendy sews Peter's shadow to his feet] 

  Peter : Oh, the cleverness of me!

  Wendy : Of course, I did nothing...

  Peter : Ah, you did a little.

• Peter : Tinkerbell... She's my fairy.

  Wendy : But, there's no such thing as f-

  [Peter flies up and closes her mouth] 

  Peter : [firmly]  Don't say that. Every time someone says that, a fairy somewhere falls down dead.

  [he goes to look for Tinkerbell] 

  Peter : And I'll never find her if she's dead!

  Wendy : You don't mean to tell me... there's a *fairy* in this room?

• Wendy : My unfulfilled ambition is to write a great novel in three parts about my adventures.

  Aunt Millicent : What adventures?

  Wendy : I've yet to have them, but they will be perfectly thrilling.

• Twin : Do you tell stories?

  Wendy : Yes.

  Curly : Then you're perfect.

• Wendy : Who be you to order me about and call me girlie?

• Wendy : Oh, the cleverness of you.

• Wendy : I think you have, Peter. And I daresay you've felt it yourself. For something... or... someone?

  Peter : Never. Even the sound of it offends me.

  [Wendy tries to touch his face, and he jumps away] 

  Peter : Why do you have to spoil everything? We have fun, don't we? I taught you to fly and to fight. What more could there be?

  Wendy : There is so much more.

  Peter : What? What else is there?

  Wendy : I don't know. I guess it becomes clearer when you grow up.

  Peter : Well, I will not grow up. You cannot make me!

• Wendy : We must leave at once... before we, in turn, are forgotten.

• Wendy : Might I have time to consider your generous offer?

  Captain Hook : Absolutely. Of course, you must.

• Peter : There are mermaids.

  Wendy : Mermaids?

  Peter : Indians.

  John and Michael : Indians?

  Peter : Pirates!

  John and Michael : Pirates? Wahoo!

• Slightly : If Hook discovers our hideout, he'll gut us.

  Wendy : How dreadful!

  Slightly : Oh, we live for it!

• Peter : Promise me one thing... Leave Hook to me.

  Wendy : I promise.

• Wendy : Littlest first. Michael?

  [Wendy snaps back to "reality"] 

  Wendy : Michael. John. My brothers!

  Peter : Who?

• Captain Hook : What of Pan? Will unhappy thoughts bring him down too?

  Wendy : He has no unhappy thoughts.

  Captain Hook : Oh... Well, what if his Wendy... walked the plank!

• Aunt Millicent : A hidden kiss.

  Wendy : But what is it for?

  Aunt Millicent : It is for the greatest adventure of all. They that find it have slipped in and out of Heaven.

  Wendy : Find what?

  Aunt Millicent : The one the kiss belongs to.

• Wendy : Why do you hate him so?

• Wendy : Boy, why are you crying?

• Wendy : John?

  [he's distracted talking to the other boys] 

  Wendy : JOHN!

  John : [all the boys go silent]  Yes?

  Wendy : What is your father's name?

  John : My father's name? Peter!

  [the boys cheer] 

  Wendy : Michael... who is your mother?

  Slightly : [to John]  Oh, he got the easy one.

  Michael : You are my mother, Wendy.

  Slightly : And isn't she just first class?

• Wendy : What would Mother think of my becoming a pirate?

• Miss Fulsom : [holding Wendy's drawing of Peter Pan]  If this is you in bed, what is this?

  Wendy : A boy.

• Peter : You just think happy thoughts and they lift you into the air!

  [flies up and sits on the ceiling] 

  Peter : It's easy.

  John : I've got it, I've got it! Swords, daggers, Napoleon!

  [leaps off his bed to fly] 

  Wendy : [to Micheal]  Stand back.

  John : Yahoo!

  [notices he's falling to the floor] 

  John : Aaaaah!

• Captain Hook : There's still room for a storyteller.

  Wendy : I'd rather die.

  Captain Hook : Shame.

• Captain Hook : She told him stories, he taught her to fly.

  [holds his hook to Wendy's throat] 

  Captain Hook : How?

  Wendy : You just think happy thoughts. They lift you into the air.

  Captain Hook : Alas, I have no happy thoughts.

  Wendy : That brings you down.

  Captain Hook : [presses his hook into Wendy's throat, addresses the Lost Boys]  How else?

  Nibs : No!

  John : No!

  Nibs : Leave her alone!

  Michael : It's fairy dust! You need fairy dust!

  The Lost Boys : MICHAEL!
