Hook (1991)

[Peter recalls a memory from his childhood]
Wendy Darling: Peter, I can't come with you. I've forgotten how to fly. I'm old, Peter. Now so much more than twenty. I grew up a long time ago.
Young Peter Pan: No, no, no! You promised!
Wendy Darling: I have children of my own now. And they have children. That is my grandchild, Moira, asleep in the bed.
Peter Banning: As I saw her lying there sleeping, something changed in me forever.
Young Peter Pan: I shall give her a kiss.
[takes out a thimble]
Wendy Darling: No, Peter. No buttons. No thimbles. I can't bear to see Moira's heart be broken after she finds out she can't keep you.
Young Peter Pan: No. I mean a real kiss.

Peter Banning: You're a... you're a complex Freudian hallucination having something to do with my mother and I don't know why you have wings, but you have very lovely legs and you're a very nice tiny person and what am I saying, I don't know who my mother was; I'm an orphan and I've never done drugs because I missed the sixties, I was an accountant.
Tinkerbell: Guess again.

Peter Banning: What's the deal? Where's the real food?
Tinkerbell: If you can't imagine yourself being Peter Pan, you won't *be* Peter Pan, so eat up.
Peter Banning: Eat what? There's nothing here. Gandhi ate more than this.

Pirate: Aren't you?
Peter Banning: Peter Pan.
[jumps out the window]

Captain James Hook: Prepare to die, Peter Pan!
Peter Banning: To die would be a grand adventure!
Captain James Hook: Death is the only adventure you have left!

Peter Banning: I bet you don't even have a fourth grade reading level.
Rufio: Hemorrhoidal suck naval.
Peter Banning: Or maybe a fifth grade reading level.
[kids whistle and waves their hands around]
Rufio: Boil dripping beef fart sniffing bubble butt.
Kids: Bangarang, Rufio.
Peter Banning: Someone has a severe ca-ca mouth, you know that?
Rufio: You are fart factory, cheesy, scab picked, pimple squeezing finger bandage. A week old maggot burger with everything on it and flies on the side.
Peter Banning: Substitute chemistry teacher.
Rufio: Mung tongue.
Peter Banning: Math tutor.
Rufio: Pinhead.
Peter Banning: Prison barber.
Rufio: Mother lover.
Peter Banning: Nearsighted gynecologist.
Rufio: In your face, camel cake.
Peter Banning: In your rear, cow derrière.
Rufio: Lying, crying, spying, prying ultra-pig.
Peter Banning: You lewd, crude, rude, bag of pre-chewed food dude.
Kids: Bangarang, Peter.
Rufio: You... you man! You stupid, stupid man!
Peter Banning: Rufio, if I'm a maggot burger why don't you EAT ME, you two-toned zebra-headed paramecium brain, munchin' on your own mucus, suffering from Peter Pan envy?
Don't Ask: What's a paramecium brain?
Peter Banning: I'll tell you what a paramecium is. It's a one-celled critter with no brain, that can't fly. Don't mess with me man, I'm a lawyer!
Kids: [chanting] Banning, Banning, Banning, Banning.

Captain Hook: I have waited long to shake your hand with this. Peter Pan, prepare to meet thy doom!
[draws sword]
Peter Banning: [draws sword] Dark and sinister man, have at thee.

[Toodles is searching for something on the floor]
Toodles: Lost, lost, lost.
Peter Banning: Lost what?
Toodles: I've lost my marbles.

Wendy Darling: The stories are true! I swear to you! And now he's come back to seek his revenge. The fight isn't over for Captain James Hook. He wants you back. He knows that you'll follow Jack and Maggie to the ends of the earth and beyond. And by heavens, you must find a way. Only you can save your children. Somehow, you must go back. You must make yourself remember.
Peter Banning: Remember what?
Wendy Darling: Peter, don't you know who you are?

Peter Banning: [to Tinkerbell] Are you related to Mighty Mouse?

Peter Banning: You hated the deal.
Moira Banning: Yes, I hated the deal, but I'm sorry you feel so badly about it. Your children love you, they want to play with you. How long do you think that lasts? Soon Jack might not even want you to come to his games. We have a few special years with our children, when they're the ones that want us around. After that you're going to be running after them for a bit of attention. It's so fast Peter. Just a few years, and it's over. And you are not being careful. And you are missing it.

[Encountering Tinkerbell for the first time]
Peter Pan: Firefly from hell.

Toodles: Have to fly, have to fight, have to crow, have to save Maggie, have to save Jack, Hook is back.
Peter Pan: Who?

Peter Pan: I remember you being a lot bigger.
Captain Hook: To a ten year-old I'm huge.

Thud Butt: I remember Toodles.
Peter Pan: How could you remember Toodles?
Thud Butt: He was a lost boy. These are his marbles. These are his happy thoughts.
Peter Pan: Ha ha ha. He really did lose his marbles, didn't he?
Thud Butt: Yeah, he lost them good.

Rufio: All grown-ups are pirates.
Peter Pan: I am not a pirate. It just so happens that I am a lawyer.
Lost Boys: Kill the lawyer!
Peter Pan: I'm not that kind of lawyer!

Peter Banning: What is this? Some sort of "Lord of the Flies" pre-school? Where are your parents? Who's in charge here?
[the Lost Boys all point to Rufio]
Peter Banning: No-o,
[pause]
Peter Banning: No-o-o Mr. Skunk-head with too much mousse, you are just a punk kid. I WANT TO SPEAK TO A GROWN-UP!
Rufio: All grown-ups are pirates.
Peter Banning: Excuse me?
Rufio: We kill pirates.

Peter Pan: Jack, Maggie, all you have to do is think one happy thought, and you'll fly like me.
Maggie: Mommy.
Jack: My dad, Peter Pan.

Peter Pan: Don't mess with me man, I'm a lawyer.

Captain Hook: Peter Pan, prepare to meet thy doom.
Peter Pan: Dark and sinister man, have at thee.

Peter Pan: Don't mess with me, man, I'm a lawyer.

Peter Banning: Hook, you let those kids out of that net in less than one minute or you better get an attorney and hope to God he's better than me.
Captain Hook: Who are you?
Peter Banning: I'm Peter Banning, Attorney at Law, these are my children and I want them back.
Captain Hook: These are your...
Peter Banning: Children.
Captain Hook: These are your children.
Peter Banning: Yes they are.
Captain Hook: And you are?
Peter Banning: Peter.
Captain Hook: You're Peter?
Peter Banning: Yes?
Captain Hook: You're Peter?
Peter Banning: Yes.
Captain Hook: No.
Peter Banning: Yes.
Captain Hook: You're Peter?
Peter Banning: Yes. Is there an echo in here? Yes.
Captain Hook: My great and worthy opponent?
Peter Banning: Yes.
Captain Hook: No! Smee, who is this impostor?

Peter Banning: [Arriving at Wendy's home] Remember, children, you're in England. Land of good manners.
[He rings the doorbell]
Peter Banning: [Toodles opens the door] Toodles!
Toodles: It's snowing!
[He slams the door in Peter's face]

Pirate: I fancy those shiny shoes for our booty!
Peter Banning: I think you can get them at Armani.

Peter Banning: It's okay. Hang on, son. I'm coming, sweetheart.
[begins to climb up a rope ladder]
Peter Banning: Someone give me a hand.
Captain Hook: I already have.

[Peter and Moira are in an argument when Peter's cell phone rings]
Peter Banning: That's Brad. I need to take that. I need to fix this.
Moira Banning: No, you've got to fix your family first.

[Peter falls over and hits his head]
Peter Banning: Oh, look, stars.
Tinkerbell: That's right, Peter. Second star to the right and straight on till morning.

Peter Pan: [to the lost boys] Let's get ready to show them the white light we're made of, boys.
Captain Hook: [to the pirates] Remember the fires of hell that forged you. Charge.

Peter Banning: [unearthing his cell phone] Wow. Brad, hi, you been holding this long? Uh huh. Neverland. Lost Boys. Jim Hook, duel to the death, I'll tell you about it later, I love to chat. But I gotta climb a drain pipe right now. Why? Because I ran out of fairy dust, if not I would've flown up.
[surprised he asks]
Peter Banning: Why?

Peter Banning: I do not believe in fairies.
Tinkerbell: Every time someone says 'I do not believe in fairies', somewhere there's a fairy that falls down dead.
Peter Banning: I DO NOT BELIEVE IN FAIRIES!
[Tinkerbell falls down the stairs of the dollhouse unconscious]
Peter Banning: Oh my God, I think I've killed it.

Captain Hook: Peter. I swear to you wherever you go, wherever you are, I vow there will always be daggers buried in notes signed James Hook. They will be flung into doors of your children's children's children, do you hear me?
Peter Pan: What do you want, old man?
Captain Hook: Just you.

Rufio: [after getting stabbed by Captain Hook] Do you know what I wish?
Peter Pan: What?
Rufio: I wish I had a dad... like you.
Jack: Oh, Dad, I'm sorry.

Peter Banning: [flying to England on a plane in turbulence] I'm not gonna make it to my next birthday.
Moira Banning: You're not gonna die without a phone and fax machine.
Peter Banning: I'm halfway there. I got the phone in my briefcase.

Peter Banning: Jack, my word is my bond.
Jack: Yeah, junk bond.
[he hits the ceiling door in the plane with his ball, and causes the oxygen masks to drop down and scare Peter half to death]
Peter Banning: What in the hell's the matter with you? When will you stop acting like a child?
Jack: I am a child.
Peter Banning: Grow up.

Peter Pan: To die would be a great adventure.

Peter Banning: Remember kids we're in England, the land of good manners.
[Knocks on door]
Toodles: IT'S SNOWING.
[Slams door in Peter's face]

[last lines]
Granny Wendy: So... your adventures are over.
Peter Banning: Oh, no. To live... to live would be an awfully big adventure.

[Rufio has just pulled a sword]
Peter Pan: All right! Okay, show's over, you *put* that thing away! Now put it down before you poke somebody's eye out!

Peter Banning: [while the children are running around making a noise, shouting into the phone] What, five thousand grand? Why doesn't somebody just shoot me in the head?
Jack: [making a gun gesture with his hands] BANG, BANG!
Peter Banning: [abandoning call] LOOK EVERYBODY, JUST SHUT UP!
Jack: [backing away in fright] I'm s-sorry
Peter Banning: And leave me alone for one moment! Moira, get 'em outta here, I'm on the phone call of my life!
Jack: [exits with Maggie]

[Hook hangs Maggie and Jack from a net atop the mast, telling Peter that all he has to do is touch their hands, and they'll all go free]
Peter Banning: Uh...
[whispers in Hook's ear]
Captain Hook: You *must* be joking.
[Peter whispers again]
Captain Hook: What? Peter has a problem with heights?
[laughter from all the pirates]

Peter Banning: [Jack is angry at his Dad and tossing his baseball to the ceiling and catching it] Will you stop doing that? You could break a window
Jack: It's double layered, it won't break!
[he demonstrates his point by banging his ball against the glass]
Peter Banning: [confiscating the ball] Give me that.

Peter Banning: [flying from Neverland with his children] Thank you for believing.

[first lines]
Maggie: [playing Wendy] Boy, why are you crying?
Boy playing Peter Pan: I was crying 'cause I couldn't get my shadow to stick. Besides, I wasn't crying.

Peter Pan (2003)

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: Ready to lose the other one?
Captain Hook: Not this time.

[Wendy sews Peter's shadow to his feet]
Peter: Oh, the cleverness of me.
Wendy: Of course, I did nothing...
Peter: You did a little.

Peter: If you wish it.
Slightly: If you wish it?
Peter: IF YOU WISH IT.

Captain Hook: If I were you, I'd give up!
Peter: If you were me, I'd be ugly.

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.

Hook: And now, Peter Pan, you shall die.
Peter: To die would be an awfully big adventure.

Peter: I do believe in fairies, I do, I do.

[Wendy has just become the Lost Boys' mother]
Peter: 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.
Wendy: Father. I agree that they are... perfectly horrid, but... kill them and they should think themselves... important.
The Lost Boys: So important, Peter.
Curly: And unique.
Wendy: I, propose something far more dreadful. Medicine. The sticky, sweet kind.
The Lost Boys: Kill us, Peter.

Peter: I want always to be a boy, and have fun.
Wendy: You say so, but I think it is your biggest pretend.

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: There's mermaids.
Wendy: Mermaids?
Peter: Indians.
John and Michael: Indians?
Peter: Pirates.
John and Michael: Pirates? Wahoo.

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!

Peter: [after bumping his head on waking up] I was not asleep.

[Peter and Wendy land to talk to mermaids to find John and Michael]
Wendy: Oh, How sweet.
[Peter looks disgusted]
Wendy: What? Are mermaids not sweet?
Peter: They'll sweetly drown you if you get too close

[Peter sees a boy flying next to him, forgetting he has just met him minutes before]
Peter: Who are you?
John: I'm John.
Peter: John.

Captain Hook: She was leaving you, Pan! Your Wendy was leaving you. Why should she stay? What have you to offer? You are incomplete. Let's take a look into the future, shall we? You fly to Wendy's nursery and... what's this? The window's closed.
Peter: I'll open it.
Captain Hook: I'm afraid the windows barred.
Peter: I'll call out her name!
Captain Hook: She can't hear you.
Peter: No!
Captain Hook: She can't see you.
Peter: Wendy...!
Captain Hook: She's forgotten all about you.
Peter: Stop it! Please! Stop it!

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!

Peter: To live would be an awfully big adventure.

Wendy: Peter... 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.

Peter: [all of the boys hold out their hands] They're a bit dirty.
Slightly: She must stay here and DIE!
Peter: NO!
Slightly: How could I have thought that? Stupid... sorry.

Peter: Then you are my friend no more.

Peter: You can't catch me and make me a man.

Peter: I'm the best there ever was!

Peter: She is to tell us stories... SHES...
Slightly: Dead... awful.
Curly: Tragic.
Nibs: Good shot, though.

Captain Hook: So Peter Pan, this is all your doing?
Peter: Aye James Hook, it's all my doing.

Peter: Promise me one thing leave Hook to me.
Wendy: I promise.

Wendy: Michael? John? Where are my brothers?
Peter: Who?

Captain Hook: [Guessing who he is] Vegetable?
Peter: No...
Captain Hook: Mineral?
Peter: No...
Captain Hook: Animal?
Peter: Yes.
Captain Hook: Man?
Peter: NO!
Captain Hook: Boy?
Peter: Yes!
Captain Hook: Ordinary boy?
Peter: No!
Captain Hook: Wonderful boy?
Peter: Yes! Do you give up?

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 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 to clever to fall out of their prams.
[he says as he looks through the heart in Wendy's bed]

Peter: Was it you, Tink?
[Tink gets a halo]
Tink: Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Hook: If you are Hook... then who am I?
Peter: You... are a... codfish!

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: Sir, you are both ungallant and deficient!
Peter: How am I deficient?
Wendy: You're just a boy.

Peter Pan (1953)

Wendy: But, Peter, how do we get to Never Land?
Peter Pan: Fly, of course.
Wendy: Fly?
Peter Pan: It's easy! All you have to do is to... is to... is to... Ha! That's funny.
Wendy: What's the matter? Don't you know?
Peter Pan: Oh, sure. It's... It's just that I never thought about it before. Say, that's it! You think of a wonderful thought.

Wendy: He can fly!
John: He can fly!
Michael: He flewed!
Peter Pan: Now you try.
Wendy: I'll think of a mermaid lagoon, underneath a magic moon.
John: I'll think I'm in a pirate's cave.
Michael: I think I'll be an Indian brave.
Peter Pan: 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]
Peter Pan: This won't do. What's the matter with you? All it takes is faith and trust. Oh! And something I forgot.
[grabs Tinkerbell]
Peter Pan: Dust!
Wendy, John: Dust?
Michael: Dust?
Peter Pan: Yep, just a little bit of pixie dust.
[taps Tinkerbell a bit with his hand to make golden dust come off and rain down on the kids]
Peter Pan: Now, think of the happiest things. It's the same as having wings.

Peter Pan: Second star to the right and straight on till morning.

Peter Pan: I say, Captain, do you hear something?

Peter Pan: Tinker Bell! I hereby banish you forever.
Wendy: Please, not forever.
Peter Pan: Well, for a week then.

[Wendy has walked the plank, and Peter saves her]
Mr. Starkey: No splash, Captain.
Captain Hook: So, you want a splash, Mr Starkey? I'll give you a splash!
[Hook throws Mr Starkey overboard]
Captain Hook: Who's next?
Peter Pan: You're next, Hook! This time you've gone too far!

Peter Pan: What a pity, Mr Smee. I'm afraid we've lost the dear Captain.

Peter Pan: Well, well, a codfish on a hook.
Captain Hook: I'll get you for this, Pan, if it's the last thing I do!

Captain Hook: Fly! Fly! Fly! You coward!
Peter Pan: Coward! Me?
Captain Hook: Ha-ha-ha! You wouldn't dare fight old Hook man-to-man. You'd fly away like a cowardly sparrow!
Peter Pan: Nobody calls Pan a coward and lives! I'll fight you man-to-man, with one hand behind my back.
Captain Hook: You mean you won't fly?
Wendy: No, don't, Peter! It's a trick!
Peter Pan: I give my word, Hook.
Captain Hook: Good, then let's have at it!

Captain Hook: You wouldn't do old Hook in now, would you, lad? I'll go away forever. I'll do anything you say.
Peter Pan: Well, all right. If ya say you're a codfish.
Captain Hook: [gulp] I'm a codfish.
Peter Pan: Louder!
Captain Hook: [wailing] I'm a codfish!
Lost Boy (Bear): I think I had a mother once.
Lost Boy (Racoon): What was she like?
Lost Boy (Bear): I forget.
Lost Boy (Fox): I had a white rat.
Lost Boy (Bear): That's no mother!

Captain Hook: You wouldn't do ol' Hook in now, would you, lad? I'll go away forever.
[tearfully]
Captain Hook: I'll do anything you say.
Peter Pan: Well, all right... if you... say you're a codfish.
Captain Hook: [gulps] I'm a codfish.
Peter Pan: Louder!
Captain Hook: [wailing] I'M A CODFISH!

Peter Pan: Mr. Crocodile, do you like codfish?
[crocodile nods]
Peter Pan: You *do*?

Peter Pan: Don't you understand, Tink? You mean more to me than anything in this whole world!

Peter Pan: Well, I'm certainly proud of you... you blockheads!

[Peter Pan is out of Smee's sight impersonating Captain Hook]
Peter Pan: Mr. Smee! Just exactly what do you think you're doing?
Mr. Smee: Putting her back like you said, Captain.
Peter Pan: I said nothing of the sort!
Mr. Smee: Oh, uh... b-but Cap...
Peter Pan: For the last time, Mr. Smee, take the princess back to her people!
[screams]
Peter Pan: UNDERSTAND?
Mr. Smee: Aye, aye, Sir.
Peter Pan: Oh, and one more thing. When you return to the ship, tell the whole crew to help themselves to me best rum.

Peter Pan: Girls talk too much!

Peter Pan (1960) (TV)

Peter Pan: [singing] I have a place where dreams are born / And time is never planned. / It's not on any chart; / You must find it with your heart, / Never Never Land.

Peter Pan: [singing] I'm flying... / Look at me, / Way up high, / Suddenly, / Here am I, / I'm flying.

Peter Pan: [singing] I gotta crow. / I'm just the cleverest fella / 'Twas ever my fortune to know.

Captain Hook: [pausing, out of breath, during the duel with Peter] 'Tisn't fair! I say it as though it were my last breath - it isn't fair! Pan, who and what art thou?
Peter Pan: I am youth. I am joy. I am freedom!

Wendy: Peter, what are your exact feelings for me?
Peter Pan: Those of a devoted son, Wendy.
Wendy: [Annoyed] I thought so.
[She sits further away from him]
Peter Pan: You're so strange. Tinker Bell's just the same. There's something she wants to be to me, but she says it's not my mother.
[Tinker Bell replies "You silly ass" in fairy language]
Wendy: I almost agree with her!

Peter Pan: There oughta be a fairy for every girl and boy.
Wendy: Oughta be? Isn't there?
Peter Pan: Oh, no. Children know such a lot now. Soon they don't believe. And every time a child says "I don't believe in fairies", there's a fairy someplace that falls down dead.

Peter Pan: [singing] You're ready?
Wendy: Ready!
John: Ready!
Michael: Ready!
Peter Pan: [singing] Don't forget, don't be slow/ready set, here we go/Wendy, Michael, John... Tinkerbell, come on/Hurry up after me for soon I will be gone, I'm flying!

Captain Hook: Well if you are Captain Hook, then what am I?
Peter Pan: A codfish.

Peter Pan: [Wendy's about to shoot the Indians] Don't shoot! We're friends now.
Children: [confused] Friends?
Peter Pan: I saved Tiger Lily's life in the forest and she saved my life.

Peter Pan: [Tinkerbell tells him what's happened] The Indians have been defeated? And Wendy and the boys have been captured by the pirates? I'll rescue her! I'll rescue her!
[Tinkerbell notices the poisoned medicine]
Peter Pan: What? That's just my medicine,
[Tinkerbell protests]
Peter Pan: poison? Nonsense, who could've poisoned it? I promised Wendy I'd take that medicine and I'm going to just as soon as I sharpen my dagger.
[Tinkerbell drinks the medicine]
Peter Pan: Tink! You drunk my medicine!
[Tinkerbell flies about slowly and grows dim]
Peter Pan: What's the matter with you? It was poison, wasn't it? Tink? Your voice is so low now I can hardly hear you. What's that? You believe that you could get well again... if children believed in fairies.

Peter Pan: [the boys present Peter with their "bird"] Wendy! With an arrow in her heart! This is no bird, it's a lady!
Children: A lady?
Peter Pan: I was bringing her here to be your mother, and now you've killed her!

Wendy: Peter, how old are you?
Peter Pan: I don't know, I ran away from home the day I was born.
Wendy: Ran away? Why?
Peter Pan: Because I heard father and mother discussing what I was to be when I became a man. I want to always be a little boy and to have fun! So I ran away, and I've lived a long time among the fairies.
Wendy: Peter! You really know fairies?
Peter Pan: Yes, but they're nearly all dead now. You see, Wendy, when the first baby laughed for the very first time, the laugh broke up into a thousand pieces of light, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies. So now every time a new baby is born, its first laugh becomes a fairy.

Wendy: Peter, why did you come to our window?
Peter Pan: To hear a story. None of us knows any stories.
Wendy: How perfectly awful.
Peter Pan: Wendy your mother was telling you such a lovely story.
Wendy: What story was it?
Peter Pan: It was about the prince... and he couldn't find the lady who wore the glass slipper.
Wendy: Ohhh... that was Cinderella, he found her, and they lived happily ever after.
Peter Pan: Wonderful!
[dashes to the window]
Wendy: Where are you going?
Peter Pan: To tell the other boys!
Wendy: Oh don't go! I know lots of stories!
Peter Pan: Do you, Wendy?
Wendy: Oh the stories I could tell the other boys!

Wendy: [about Neverland] Oh Peter it sounds wonderful... What's it like?
Peter Pan: It's an island, Wendy.
Wendy: A large one?
Peter Pan: No, quite small, and nicely crammed, so there's hardly any room between one adventure and the next.
Wendy: Who do you live with?
Peter Pan: The Lost Boys.
Wendy: Who are they?
Peter Pan: They're the children that fall out of their carriages when the nurse looks the other way. They're not claimed in 7 days, they're sent far away to Neverland... I'm Captain.

Return to Never Land (2002)

Peter Pan: If you're not Wendy, then who are you?
Jane: I'm her daughter, Jane.
Peter Pan: Then if you're Wendy's daughter, you're gonna love it here.

Jane: She tried to kill me!
Peter Pan: She's just jealous. All girls get like that around me.
Jane: Oh, how very nice for you.

Peter Pan: How come you want to go home so bad?
Jane: I have to get back to my family.
Peter Pan: Why?
Jane: I don't want to talk about it.
Peter Pan: Why not?
Jane: If you must know we had a fight.
Peter Pan: Why?
Jane: I... told my little brother you weren't real.
Peter Pan: *What*?
[falls]
Peter Pan: Why?
Jane: I don't know. But I've got to go back and set things right.
Peter Pan: Why?
Jane: Because! That's why!

Peter Pan: [listening to Tinkerbell] Uh-huh... uh-huh... What?
Slightly: What'd she say, Peter?
Peter Pan: If we don't get Jane to believe in fairies, Tink's light's gonna go out.

Jane: Not so fast, you old codfish! Or you'll have to answer to me!
Peter Pan: Jane...?
Captain Hook: Good heavens! Run! Run for your lives! It's... A little girl.

Peter Pan: You're a traitor, Jane. You lied to me! And because you don't believe in fairies, Tink's light is going out!

[the Jolly Roger is sinking with Captain Hook still on board]
Captain Hook: Help me! Help me!
Peter Pan: You know the rules, Hook. A good captain always goes down with his ship.
Captain Hook: I don't want to be a good captain!

Peter Pan (1924)

Peter Pan: Wendy, have you gone away? Will you never be here to play any more, Wendy? And I thought it was only flowers that died!... Perhaps she is frightened at being dead.

Wendy Darling: Peter, what are your real feelings for me?
Peter Pan: Those of a devoted son, Wendy. You are so puzzling, and Tiger Lily is just the same. She says there is something she wants to be to me, but it is not my mother.

Peter Pan: It isn't that kind of pain. Wendy, you are wrong about mothers. When I flew back to my mother, the window was barred, and there was another little boy asleep in my bed.

Captain Hook: Peter Pan, who and what art thou?
Peter Pan: I'm youth, I'm joy! I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg!

Peter Pan: Oh, Wendy's mother, I don't want to grow up! Don't want to be President!

Finding Neverland (2004)

Peter Pan: Do you believe in fairies? Say quick that you believe. If you believe, clap your hands!

Peter Pan: When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about. And that was the beginning of fairies.

'Wendy': [as she is lifted by the kite] Peter!
Peter Pan: Don't let go, Wendy!
'Wendy': Peter, I'm frightened!
Peter Pan: Hang on, Wendy!
'Wendy': [fading] Peter!
Peter Pan: To die will be an awfully big adventure.

Peter Pan: You musn't touch me! No-one has ever touched me!

Peter Pan: ...I don't know.

Wendy Moira Angela Darling: Oh, it sounds lovely. Neverland! Who else lives there, Peter?
Peter Pan: The Lost Boys.
Wendy Moira Angela Darling: Who are they?
Peter Pan: They are the children who fall out of their carriages when the nurse is looking the other way. If they're not claimed in seven days, they're sent far away to Neverland. I'm captain, you know.
Wendy Moira Angela Darling: Oh, what fun it must be!
Peter Pan: Yes. Of course, we are rather lonely.
Wendy Moira Angela Darling: Oh?
Peter Pan: You see, Wendy, we have no female companionship.
Wendy Moira Angela Darling: Are none of the others girls?
Peter Pan: No, girls you know are much too clever to fall out of their carriages.
