Share this quote on facebook 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.

George: Safe? Of course they'll be safe. Why not?
Mary: Well, Wendy said something about a shadow, and I...
George: Shadow? Whose shadow?
Mary: Peter Pan's.
George: Oh, Peter Pan...Peter Pan?! You don't say! [high, mocking voice] Goodness gracious! Whatever shall we do?!
Mary: But, George...
George: [normal voice] Sound the alarm!
Mary: Really, I...
George: Call Scotland Yard!

Peter: Why?
Wendy: Because I have to grow up tomorrow.
Peter: Grow up?!
Wendy: Tonight's my last night in the nursery.
Peter: But that means no more stories!
Wendy: Mm-hmm.
Peter: No! I won't have it! Come on!

Share this quote on facebook Smee: Oh, dear, dear, dear, Captain Hook. Shooting a man in the middle of his cadenza? That ain't good form, you know.
Hook: "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?!
Smee: Why, Captain, cutting your hand off was only a childish prank, you might say.
Hook: Aye! But throwing it to that 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.

Share this quote on facebook Smee: Well, at last, Captain Hook's comin' to his senses.
Hook: [surprised] Odd's fish!
Smee: [to Tiger Lily] I told him all along you Indians wouldn't betray Peter Pan.
Hook: [kindly] And just what do you think you are doing, Mr. Smee?
[he stops the rowboat from moving by placing his foot on it]
Smee: Just what you told me, Captain: carrying out your orders.
Hook: My orders?
Smee: Why, yes, Captain. Didn't you just say to go...
Hook: [shoves the boat back into Skull Rock] Put her back, you blithering idiot! [to himself] My orders. Of all the bumbling...

Share this quote on facebook Peter: [impersonates Hook] Mr. Smee! Just exactly what do you think you are doing?
Smee: Putting her back like you said, Captain.
Peter: I said nothing of the sort!
Smee: [stammers] But captain...!
Peter: [whilst the real Hook creeps up to him unbeknownst] For the last time, Mr. Smee, take the princess back to her people! UNDERSTAND!? [echoes]
Smee: Aye-aye, sir.
Peter: Oh, and one more thing: When you return to the ship, tell the whole crew to help themselves to me best rum.

Share this quote on facebook I had a particularly bad time getting started on Captain Hook. It was one of the low points of my life. These are the first scenes of him where he's walking, pacing the deck, saying, `That Peter Pan! If I get my hook on him!,' or whatever. He was neither menacing nor foppish. This was because of the confusion in the minds of the director and story people. In story, Ed Penner had always seen Hook as a very foppish, not strong, dandy-type of guy, who loved all the finery. Gerry Geronimi, who was the director, saw him as an Ernest Torrence, a mean, heavy sort of character who used his hook menacingly.
