Best Quotes
Mrs. Darling: [to Wendy] They need me to be their mother, and your father to be their father. But they need you to be their big sister. You give them something that neither of us can. They will follow your lead, so you must be a good leader.
Mrs. Darling: What is it that you’re afraid of, my love?
Wendy Darling: I want things to stay the way they are.
Wendy Darling: Perhaps, I don’t want to grow up.
Mrs. Darling: You can’t stop time, Wendy. It’ll march on whether you like it or not. Just imagine all the things you would miss out on, if you didn’t see where it took you. And all the things the world would miss, if you weren’t there to do them.
Michael Darling: You were flying!
Wendy Darling: How?
Michael Darling: A little bug did it!
Wendy Darling: I don’t think that’s a bug.
John Darling: Well, it’s a…

John Darling: Are you…
Michael Darling: Are you Peter Pan?
Peter Pan: Were you expecting someone else?
Wendy Darling: I always envisioned you as being…

Peter Pan: It’s high time we go.
Wendy Darling: Go where?

Wendy Darling: No growing up.
Peter Pan: That most of all.

Captain Hook: Yes, what?
Pirate: It’s the boy, Captain. It’s Peter Pa…
Captain Hook: Never say his name!
Pirate: Sorry, Captain!
Captain Hook: Smee, make a note. My cabin needs a new door.
Smee: A new door. Yes! Right. Might I say, Captain, that would be your third door this month.
Captain Hook: And it won’t be the last.
Smee: Telescope at hand, Captain.
Captain Hook: Speak not to me of hands, Smee.
Smee: Oh. I see your point.
Peter Pan: It’s Hook!
John Darling: Captain Hook?
Peter Pan: Who else would try to kill me this early in the morning?
Peter Pan: Remember, all pirates are fair game, but leave Hook to me.

Wendy Darling: You must be…
Tootles: Lost Boys.
Birdie: Every last one of us.
Wendy Darling: But you’re not all boys.
Twin: So?
Smee: Well, I rescued the Captain from the sea when he was scarcely taller than yourselves. Of course he weren’t captain then. And he didn’t have a hook. He was just a little lost child, desperate to make it back to these fine shores before he got too old to enjoy them.
Captain Hook: [referring to Peter] He’s going to rescue you?
John Darling: Well, probably.
Michael Darling: Hopefully.
Captain Hook: Hope. Most days, I hate that word. But on this occasion, I wonder.
Wendy Darling: Why is Captain Hook so hateful?
Tootles: Because he grew up.
Twins: And grew up wrong.

Captain Hook: Tide’s rising. Poor little cast aways. Tell me. What will you hold on to? Your hope? Or your breath?
Captain Hook: I’ve found you guilty of being a child. And we can’t have children in Neverland.
Peter Pan: I’ve got to say, it’s not half bad being a pirate.
Captain Hook: Pan!
Peter Pan: It’s far better being me.
Peter Pan: Captain Hook. You’re looking a little worse for wear, old man.
Wendy Darling: I thought that maybe you had…
Peter Pan: Died? Perished? Been blown to bits?
Wendy Darling: Yes!
Peter Pan: Not a chance. I’m quite good at not getting kill…
Captain Hook: [Peter falls as Hook strikes at Peter’s shadow] Got you!

Captain Hook: All my bad form, I learned from you.
Peter Pan: Don’t flatter yourself. You’ve always been rotten. A stinking, rotten codfish.
Captain Hook: You’ve stabbed me in my heart with your words. For the last time. Now, I will repay in kind with my sword.
Peter Pan: Strike then, if you’ve got the courage. And strike true. For to die, would be an awfully big adventure.
Curly: She’s a Wendy!
Captain Hook: A Wendy. What’s a Wendy?
Wendy Darling: I’m a Wendy. Wendy Moira Angela Darling. And I am from London, England, where gentlemen do not harm children!
Captain Hook: This child is no child. Nor I a gentle man. So, say your goodbyes, Wendy. For you shan’t be seeing him in this world again.
Peter Pan: It was an adventure. Isn’t that what you wanted?
Wendy Darling: Yes, but I didn’t think that meant being shot out of the sky by pirates.
John Darling: Or drowned.
Michael Darling: Or dismembered.

Peter Pan: I’m Peter Pan. I don’t ever need help.
Wendy Darling: You have a magical fairy that makes you fly. A gaggle of children to do your bidding, with a princess who cleans up after you while you’re off gallivanting with pirates. Do you really think that you could beat Captain Hook on your own?
Peter Pan: This is Neverland. Where nothing ever changes. Least of all, me.
Tootles: It’s not true what Peter says, you know? Some things do change.
Curly: Hook wasn’t always Hook.
Wendy Darling: I don’t know where my home is exactly. Or where I want it to be.
Tiger Lily: You will. The first time I rode out on my own, nitâniskocâpân, my great-great-grandmother, she came to me, and said, “Feel the ground beneath your feet, so that your eyes can find the stars. Hold the past in your heart, but know that where you go from here, it’s up to you.” Sleep tight, Wendy Moira Angela Darling. Then get home safe.
