Hook Page #6

This is Barbecue's very own bedside

clock. He was quite an infamous pirate.

I smashed this clock

immediately after I gutted him.

His ship made a pretty bonfire!

Such a pretty, pretty...

What is that I hear?

A ticking?

Smee, stop the ticking!

Stop that! Stop that "tick-tick"!

There's no ticking here.

There's nothing left to tick.

Oh, my God!

This is for the ticking

that might have been.

Get his father's watch!

Go on.

You know you want to.

Give it a try.

Go on.

This is for...

...never letting me blow bubbles

in my chocolate milk!

- Good form! Bravo!

- Isn't that wonderful?

This is for never letting me

jump on my own bed!

Make time stand still, laddie.

For always making promises

and breaking them!

For never doing anything with me.

For a father who's never there, Jack?

Jack, for a father who

didn't save you on the ship.

Who wouldn't save us...

Who couldn't save you, Jack.

He wouldn't. He didn't even try.

He was there, we were there,

and he wouldn't try.

Jack...

...he will try.

And the question will be:

When the time comes,

do you want to be saved?

Now, don't you answer now.

No, no, no, no.

Now it's time to be

whatever you want to be.

Put behind you any thoughts of home...

...that place of broken promises.

That what?

Have I ever made a promise, Jack...

...I have not kept?

Have I, son?

Come on. Let's go!

I don't like this game.

"Steal Hook's hook

As fast as you can."

"It'll make you proud."

"Then you crow like Pan."

Confound it, Druscilla, glove me.

The game is about to start.

I need my bubbly.

Give me my bubbly.

Steal Hook's hook, then crow!

Jackie, boy! Jack!

This is for all the games

your daddy missed.

Hook would never miss your game, son.

You're almost there. Take it.

- What's he looking at?

- Come on, you're this close!

What's wrong?

- Grab it, come on.

- Grab it, Peter!

Come on, Jack.

And one!

Wait for the good pitches.

Wait for the good pitches!

Jack! Jack! He's our man.

If he can't do it, no one can!

He's stealing second!

No, now stop it!

We're playing this game according

to Master Jack's rules! Bad form!

Sit down now! Let's resume the game!

Very violent sport, isn't it, baseball?

Come on, Jack!

Run home, Jack! Run home, Jack!

"Run home, Jack."

Smee, no, no, no!

They've got it backwards!

Tell them to turn it around!

Maggie?

Switch!

Home run, Jack! Home run, Jack!

Home run, Jack!

Home run, Jack. Home run, Jack.

He can't hit the curve.

My Jack!

My Jack.

You did it! Hoist him up!

That's my boy! You did it, son!

Gotta fly!

Happy thought.

Happy thought, happy thought,

happy thought, happy...

One great, big happy thought!

Less is more.

I can!

"Tootles. Wendy. John.

Michael. Peter."

Be careful, Peter. You're

a lot taller than you used to be.

Well, say something.

Do you like my dress?

You look beautiful.

What's the occasion?

You are.

It's a welcome-home party.

What happened here?

Hook.

Burnt it when you didn't come back.

Kiss.

Wendy.

This is Wendy's house.

Tootles and Nibs built it for her.

I remember.

Wendy would sit in that chair.

But it wasn't there. It was here.

We used to sit here while

she'd darn socks and tell us stories.

She slept here.

Tink, your apartment was right here.

Yes.

Little Michael in his basket bed,

right here.

John.

Teddy. My Teddy.

Mother used to put him in the pram

to keep me company.

I remember my mother.

I remember her.

You can be sure,

very fine schools indeed.

First, he will attend Whitehall,

then Oxford.

And of course...

...after graduation, he will prepare

for a judgeship in the highest court...

...making time for marriage

and family and all of that.

Just like his father.

Isn't that what grownups

want for their children?

I was afraid.

I didn't wanna grow up.

Everybody who grows up

has to die someday.

So I ran away.

Tink...

... you came and you saved me.

You brought me to Never Land.

You taught me to fly.

But I was still a little boy,

and I missed my mother.

So I decided to fly home

to my very own window.

But it was shut.

They'd forgotten about me.

I found other windows to visit,

ones that weren't shut closed on me.

That's how I met Wendy.

I chased my shadow in her nursery.

I expected my shadow and I would

join together like drops of water.

Boy!

Why are you crying?

What's your name?

Wendy Moira Angela Darling.

What's yours?

I came back many times for Wendy.

Always in the spring.

And Wendy kept getting older...

... and older.

And then I came back the last time.

Peter, I can't come with you.

I've forgotten how to fly.

I'm old, Peter.

Ever so much more than 20.

- I grew up a long time ago.

- No, no, no!

- You promised!

- I have children of my own now.

They have children of their own.

That's my grandchild, Moira,

asleep in the bed.

When I saw her lying there sleeping...

... at that moment,

something changed in me forever.

I shall give her a kiss.

No! No, Peter!

No buttons, no thimbles.

I couldn't bear her heart to be broken

when she finds she can't keep you.

No.

I mean a real kiss.

I can see why you have trouble

finding a happy thought.

So many sad memories, Peter.

Bye, Teddy.

Not Teddy. Daddy!

Daddy!

Peter, you're a daddy.

Hi, Jack.

I know why I came back.

I know why I grew up.

I wanted to be a father.

I'm a daddy.

My happy thought.

I got it!

I got it! I found it!

I lost it!

Just hold that happy thought, Peter!

Peter Pan!

He's back! He's back!

He's back!

Play!

Play!

You are the Pan.

You can fly, you can fight,

and you can...

Tink, you in there?

Are you sad?

No, I'm neither. Please go away.

Oh, you're sick.

You need a Band-Aid.

Or a thermometer!

That's how Nibs made

the Wendy lady better.

Oh, no, Peter! It's not about that!

Yes, it is!

Nibs put the thermometer in her mouth.

Felt all better.

Don't we have

the greatest adventures?

Do you remember your next

great adventure to save your kids?

Kids?

Peter Pan's got kids?

Why are you in Never Land?

To always be a little boy and have fun.

I like this game. Ask me another one.

Oh, dear me! I did it.

Tink, look what happened!

You broke your house.

You're humongous.

This is the only wish

I ever wished for myself.

This is the biggest

feeling I've ever, ever felt.

And this is the first time

I've been big enough to have it.

Peter, I wanna give you a kiss.

No, I mean a real kiss.

I love you, Peter Pan.

I love...

...her.

"Her," who?

Mo...

Moira!

I love Moira...

...and Jack and Maggie.

Jack and Maggie...

I have a plan. Tink?

Come on. You gotta come.

When it's all over, you'll leave

and never come back again.

What are you staring at, Peter?

Save them.

Go save them.

You silly ass, go!

Jack, it's a very special time when

a pirate receives his first earring.

It's like the first time you

run someone through with your blade.

Now, Jack...

...I'm gonna ask you to bend

your head ever so slightly.

A little more. That's it.

And brace yourself, lad.
