Quote (1) : Quote (1) “Well, I will not grow up. You cannot make me.” Wendy: Surely you must have felt love once 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.

Quote (3) : Quote (3) “But he has made many sacrifices for his family, and put away many dreams.” Mrs. Darling: There are many different kinds of bravery. There’s the bravery of thinking of others before one’s self. Now, your father has never brandished a sword nor … nor fired a pistol, thank heavens. But he has made many sacrifices for his family, and put away many dreams. Michael: Where did he put them? Mrs Darling: He put them in a drawer. And sometimes, late at night, we take them out and admire them. But it gets harder and harder to close the drawer … and he does. And that is why he is brave.


Quote (4) : Quote (4) “You called that a favour?” Smee: Pan did you a favour, did he, Captain? Hook: A favour? He threw my hand to a crocodile, the beast liked it so much, it’s followed me ever since, licking its lips for the rest of me ….. YOU CALL THAT A FAVOUR?
