Script: Wendy

SIDE 1

MICHAEL
Mom! Tell us a story of Pan?

WENDY
Michael you don t think I m actually your mom?! John?

JOHN
Moms tell stories. You tell us stories. You must be our mother!

WENDY
But I ve just been playing! You have a real mom at home. Michael, John, you remember?

MICHAEL
Did she have silky ears and wear a fur coat?

WENDY
That was Nana!

CHUBBY
I think I had a mother once.

SKUNK
I once had a white rat.

WENDY
(sudden realization)
I think it s time we go home.

PETER
(as Indian)
No go home! Stay many moons! Have big fun time!

WENDY
Now, Peter  we ve got to be practical, and Indian braves don t even talk like that!
(to MICHAEL and JOHN)
Do you just want to stay here and grow up like savages?

MICHAEL, JOHN
(a gleeful answer)
Savages!

WENDY
You need a real mom.

SIDE 2

JOHN
Peter Pan, you insolent boy, I ll slash you to ribbons!

MICHAEL
I ll cut you to pieces!

JOHN
Scuttle my bones  I ll slit your gizzard!

WENDY
Peter, fly! Or Captain Hook will catch you!
(MICHAEL turns and runs from JOHN screaming at the top of his lungs. He overshoots and runs straight into MR. DARLING, who enters in an undershirt and lifts MICHAEL.)

WENDY
He caught you!

MICHAEL
Unhand me, you old bilge rat!

MR. DARLING
Michael, how dare you call your father

WENDY
Not you, Dad. Michael is Peter Pan, and John s Captain Hook.

MR. DARLING
Yes fine, now where are my shirt and cufflinks? Nana  do you know?

WENDY
You ll need to look at the treasure map the boys made to find it.
(NANA sniffs around for cufflinks as MICHAEL takes a cloth map out of his pocket, lays it down, and smoothes it out.)

MR. DARLING
Let s see if I follow the line here& to the dotted line here& to the  x marks the
(lifts up the map, which turns out to be drawn on his shirt)
Oh no. Oh no, my shirt!

MRS. DARLING
(entering)

George, this is no time to play with the children. We re late!

MR. DARLING
This was my last clean shirt! You are pirates!

SIDE 3

HOOK
Oh, would that I could set you free. But, ay, here s the rub: you know where that scurvy brat Pan lives and I do not! Tell me  or die!

PETER
(behind the rock)
You dog!

WENDY
Shhh!

HOOK
Am I not a man of me word, Smee?

SMEE
Yes. A
(crosses his fingers behind his back)
Always, Captain. Come on, Tiger Lily. Or soon it ll be Davy Jones s Locker for you!

HOOK
And remember your sacred beliefs: there is no path through water to the happy hunting ground! Speak!
(TIGER LILY rolls her eyes at HOOK.)

WENDY
Now, Peter!

PETER
(an impersonation of Captain Hook)
Odds, bobs, hammer and tongs. Oh, what a rogue and peasant Hook am I!
(SMEE and HOOK scream!)

HOOK
Who are you, stranger?

PETER
I am James Hook, Captain of the Jolly Roger!

HOOK
(terrified)
But if you are Hook, then who am I?

PETER
A codfish!

SIDE 4

CUBBY
I wanna join!

RACCOON TWINS
Us too!

SKUNK
(like a cheerleader cheer)
Pi-rates forever! Lost Boys never!

WENDY
(overlapping)
Boys! Boys

SKUNK
Pi-rates forever! Lost Boys never!

WENDY
Skunk!

SKUNK
(stops his chant)
Sorry.

WENDY
Aren t you all ashamed of yourselves?

FOXY
Well, Captain Hook makes a very convincing case, Wendy.

HOP
We ll walk the plank if we don t become pirates!

JOHN
No, Peter will save us.

MICHAEL
Yeah!

WENDY
No, he won t. Peter thinks only of himself.
