Boy, why are you crying?

Because I couldn't

get my shadow to stick.

Besides, I wasn't crying.

I shall sew it on for you,

my little man.

I shall sew it on for you,

my little man. It may hurt a little.

What's your name?

Wendy Moira Angela Darling.

- What's yours?

- Peter Pan.

Watch your daughter.

She's wonderful.

She's stealing the show.

I think it's perfectly sweet of you.

Louder!

I think it's perfectly sweet of you.

I shall give you a kiss if you like.

Don't you know what a kiss is?

I shall, once you give one to me.

Now I shall give you a kiss.

I don't ever wanna become a man.

I always wanna be a little boy

and have fun.

We wanna be like Peter Pan

We don't wanna grow up

Brad.

Yeah, I'm at my daughter's play.

It's impossible. I'm on a plane

to London tomorrow night with my family.

A children's hospital is dedicating

an entire wing to Granny Wendy.

Brad...

Peter, you're missing it.

All right. I want a meeting,

tomorrow a.m.

Dad, my game! You promised.

Listen, it's my son's big game.

Last game of the season. Santa Series.

I gotta be there. I promised.

We'll make it short.

I'll be there. My word is my bond.

We never, never, never

Never, never, never, never

Never, never, ever wanna grow up

Strike three! You're out.

Bluejays, come on!

Jack! Come on, Bluejays!

Bluejays!

Fire it up!

Where is your father? He's missing it.

Daddy'll be here. He promised.

Jerry? Jack?

- Jim.

- I said that.

Go to the game ahead of me.

Film what I miss.

This is the speech

for your grandmother's tribute.

- On cards?

- Yes.

- Number those. Who wrote it?

- Ned Miller.

I loved his annual report.

Read it.

"For the past 70 years,

the Granny Wendy we honor tonight...

...has given hope and care

and life to hundreds of orphans."

Great.

Mommy, where's Daddy?

My briefcase.

Gotta fly.

Don't worry.

More people crash in cars.

It's a lot safer to fly

than crossing the street.

If it's your time to go,

it's your time to go.

And remember,

don't let your arms get tired!

What if it's the pilot's time to go?

Come on, keep us alive, Banning!

Keep us alive!

Okay, come on!

Hi, Mrs. Banning. I'm from the office.

Which one's your son?

- He's up to bat!

- Thank you!

Come on, Jack!

Come on, pal!

Come on, Jack!

Don't look at me! Focus!

Stay focused! Come on, Jack.

One time, Jack.

Come on, Jack! Come on, Jack!

Please, not a curve ball.

Mama wants a new pair of shoes.

Drive me home, Jack!

That's the game!

Yeah, Brad, that's real good.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,

your captain again.

Please do not allow this minor

turbulence to disturb you.

For now, please sit back, relax.

Enjoy the remainder of the flight.

Thank you.

Look what Jack drew!

That's very nice, dear.

What's that?

Fire.

Fire! Really?

Is that our plane?

Who are these people?

That's Jack, that's me, that's Mom...

...and that's you.

Where's my parachute?

- I won't make it to my birthday.

- You won't die without a phone.

I got the phone in the briefcase.

Talk to him.

Why didn't I have a parachute, Jackie?

Take a wild guess.

- Jackie!

- Jack.

Will you stop?

You can break a window.

They're layered.

You can't break them.

Give me that.

You're afraid you'll get sucked out.

I'm not afraid.

Yes, you are. You're afraid

you'll be sucked out.

Just stop.

Jack, next season,

I'm coming to six games. I promise.

Yeah, be sure to buy enough videotape.

My word is my bond.

Yeah, junk bond!

When are you gonna stop

acting like a child?

I am a child.

Grow up.

It's been a long time.

Let's have fun, Peter.

London's a magical place

for children.

- It was for us.

- And expensive.

Jack, don't do that.

You could put someone's eye out.

Maggie. Maggie.

Peter, it's number 14.

Sorry.

What do you say to Granny Wendy?

- "How do you do?"

- Jack, get down!

Be careful.

Is Granny Wendy the real,

real Wendy from my play?

No, not really.

Sort of.

Don't be a sloucher.

Take that gum out of your mouth.

It's time to look our best. First

impressions are the most important.

Shoes tied. Shirt tucked.

You know this.

Remember, you're in England,

land of good manners.

Uncle Tootles.

It's snowing!

Look at these adorable children!

It's good to see you,

Libby... Linda... Lisa...

- Liza.

- I said that.

Oh, Moira, how are you?

You look wonderful!

Oh, my God!

Look at the size...

Look at you! Such a sweet thing!

- Granny Wendy will be right down.

- She's upstairs? Oh, good.

- Big boy! You could play rugby.

- No, baseball.

Oh, look.

- Did you do this for us?

- We've been cooking all week.

You've been cooking?

What've you been cooking? Mince pies?

Peter, look at this.

Look at this.

- Who's that?

- It's you.

Was I ever that young?

- What's gotten into you?

- This house has gotten to me.

Some of those things I was when

I was young have never left me.

Oh, thank God!

We were children in these rooms.

Lost, lost, lost.

Lost what?

I've lost my marbles.

Lisa?

Liza.

- He was supposed to be in a home.

- It broke Wendy's heart.

Tootles is Wendy's first orphan.

Which is which?

Large bag's mine, and the smaller ones

are the children's.

Hello, boy.

Hello, Wendy.

I told you, Gran, I'd get him here,

by hook or by crook.

I'm sorry it's been

so long between visits.

It's been 10 years between visits.

But never mind.

Come and give me a skwoodge.

Oh, Moira, Moira, Moira!

Who is this lovely lady?

It can't be Maggie.

Yes, it can. And know what?

I just played you at school.

And don't you just look the part.

Can this giant be Jack?

How much you've grown in a year!

I'm supposed to tell you about...

...congratulations for opening

the orphan hospital...

...and how great the dedication is.

- Thank you so very much.

- Welcome.

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.

Sorry, too late, Gran.

And what's so terribly important

about your terribly important business?

You see, when a big

company's in trouble...

...Dad sails in, and if

there's any resistance...

He's exaggerating. I'm still

into mergers and acquisitions.

And I'm dabbling in

some land development.

Any resistance and he blows them

out of the water.

So!

Peter, you've become a pirate!

Brad's on the line.

He says it's urgent!

Do you like my dress?

Great, Gran.

Thanks.

Hey, Brad. Good news?

What?

What Sierra Club report?

I thought we had these guys.

He's trying to suck my blood!

He drools all over my neck.

What did they find?

- That's a portable phone...

- A Cozy Blue Owl?

Well, listen.

Ask them if anybody

misses the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Oh, well, I do! Boy, do I ever!

Wow, you kidding?

Wait a minute.

You telling me a 10-inch owl

has a 50-mile mating radius?

Why don't they just

fornicate someplace else?

You're telling me a 5-billion-dollar

deal is falling apart because of this?

Somebody shoot me in the head!
