• [last lines] 

  Granny Wendy : So... your adventures are over.

  Peter Banning : Oh, no. To live... to live would be an awfully big adventure.

• [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. Ever 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. They have children of their own. That's my grandchild, Moira, asleep in the bed.

  Peter Banning : [voiceover]  When I saw her lying there sleeping, that moment, something changed in me forever.

  Young Peter Pan : I shall give her a kiss.

  [takes out a thimble] 

  Wendy Darling : No. No, Peter. No buttons. No thimbles. I couldn't bear to see Moira's heart to be broken when she finds she can't keep you.

  Young Peter Pan : No. I mean a real kiss.

• Wendy Darling : Boy, why are you crying?

  Peter Banning : I don't know. A tear for every happy thought.

• Wendy Darling : And what's so terribly important about your terribly important business?

  Jack : Well, you see, when a big company's in trouble, Dad sails in, and if there's *any* resistance...

  Peter Banning : Well, he's exaggerating. I'm still into mergers and acquisitions. And I'm dabbling in some land development.

  Jack : Any resistance - and he *blows* them out of the water.

  Wendy Darling : So, Peter, you've become a pirate.

• Wendy Darling : [leaving the room after putting Maggie and Jack to bed]  Dear night-lights, protect my sleeping babes. Burn clear and steadfast tonight.

• Maggie : But Jack says you're not the really real Wendy.

  Wendy Darling : Ahh. Well, do you see where Jack is, hmm? Well, that is the same window and this is the same room where we made up our bedtime stories about Peter and Neverland and scary old Captain Hook. And did you know? Mr. Barrie - well, Sir James, our neighbor - he loved our stories so much, he wrote them all down in a book, oh dear me, eighty years ago.

  Maggie : You're really old.

  Wendy Darling : That's very true.

• Wendy Darling : The stories are true! I swear to you! I swear on everything I adore, 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 heaven, 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?

  [Wendy opens up the book and shows an illustration of Peter Pan as Peter looks in disbelief] 

  Wendy Darling : [whispers]  Yes, boy. Yes.

• Wendy Darling : What is this?

  [she points to Jack's baseball mitt] 

  Jack : Oh, it's a baseball glove. You can catch things with it, take hot things out of the oven, or you can even hit your sister with it.

• Wendy Darling : Hello, Boy.

  Peter Banning : Hello, Wendy.

  Moira Banning : I told you, Gran, I'd get him here, by hook or by crook.

• Wendy Darling : "All children, except one, grow up." Now, you know where fairies come from, don't you, Maggie?

  Wendy Darling , Maggie : "When the first baby laughed for the first time the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about. That was the beginning of fairies."

• Wendy Darling : Now, there is one rule I insist be obeyed while you are in my house: No growing up. Stop this very instant. And that includes you, Mr. Chairman-of-the-Board Banning.

• Wendy Darling : In a crisis, we English always make a cup of tea.

• Wendy Darling : Hand me my book, please. It's time to tell you, at last.

  Peter Banning : Tell me what?

  Wendy Darling : How far back can you remember, Peter?

  Peter Banning : I remember the hospital on Great Ormond Street. You worked with orphans. Taught me to read. You arranged for the adoption by my American parents.

  Wendy Darling : You were 12, nearly 13. I mean, before that.

  Peter Banning : There's nothing before that.

  Wendy Darling : Try, Peter. Do try.

  Peter Banning : Nothing.

  Wendy Darling : You know, when I was young no other girl held your favor the way I did.
