Captain James Hook : [holding a pistol to his head] No stopping me this time, Smee. This is it. Don't make a move, Smee, not a step. My finger's on the trigger. Don't try to stop me, Smee.
Smee : Oh, not again.
Captain James Hook : This is it. Don't try to stop me this time, Smee. Don't try to stop me this time, Smee. Don't you dare try to stop me this time, Smee. Try to stop me. Smee, you'd better get up off your arse. Get over here, Smee!
Smee : I'm coming, I'm coming.
Captain James Hook : Stop me! This is not a joke! I'm committing suicide!

Smee : Good Mooooooooooooorning, Neverland! Tie down the main mast, mateys, 'cause here he is, the cunning kingfish, the bad barracuda! A man so deep, he's almost unfathomable.
[pirates stare blankly]
Smee : A man so quick, he's even fast... asleep!
[pirates cheer]
Smee : Thank you! Now, let's give him a very big hand, 'cause he's only got one.
[pirates laugh]
Smee : I give you, the steel-handed stingray, Captain James Hook!

Captain James Hook : [watching Peter try - and fail - to rescue his children] Smee, I don't understand. Why doesn't he fly? Is he not Peter Pan?
Smee : He's Peter Pan, all right, Captain. He's just been away from Neverland so long, his mind's been junk-tified. He's forgotten everything.
-
Captain Hook : You, the cute little urchin in the front row, won't you share your thoughts with the whole class?
Maggie : Yes! I said mommy reads to us every night, because she LOVES us very much!
Captain Hook : Loves you? Isn't that the, uh, the...
Smee : The 'L' word, Captain.
Captain Hook : Ooh, yes!
[grimly chuckles]
Captain Hook : No, child, Your mother wants to read to you every night in order to stupefy to sleep, so that she and daddy could sit down for three measly minutes without you. And you mindless, inexhaustible, unstoppable, repetitive, and nagging demands: He took my toy! She hit my bear! I want a party! I want a cookie! I want to stay up! I want, I want, I want, me, me, me, me, mine, mine, mine, mine, now, now, now, now!
[inhales deeply]
Captain Hook : Can't you understand, child? They tell you stories to shut you up.
Smee : -And conk you out.
Maggie : That's not true, Jack!
[to Hook]
Maggie : You're a liar!
Captain Hook : [laughs] Lie? Me? Never.
[inhales deeply again]
Captain Hook : The TRUTH is far too much fun.

[in the Museum where all clocks are destroyed. Hook hands Jack a hammer to destroy his father's watch]
Captain James Hook : You know you want to. Give it a try. Go on.
Jack : This is for... never letting me blow bubbles in my chocolate milk!
[smashes his father's watch]
Captain James Hook : Good form! Bravo!
[claps]
Smee : Isn't that wonderful?
Jack : This is for never letting me jump on my own bed!
[smashes another clock]
Captain James Hook : Make time stand still, laddie.
Jack : For always making promises and breaking them!
[smashes another clock]
Jack : For never doing anything with me.
[smashes another clock]
Captain James Hook : For a father who's never there, Jack? Jack, for a father who didn't save you on the ship.
Jack : [starts to cry] Who wouldn't save us...
Captain James Hook : Who *couldn't* save you, Jack.
Jack : [tearfully] Well, he - he wouldn't. And he didn't even try. He was there and we were there and he wouldn't try.
[pulls his cap down as he cries]
Captain James Hook : [pulls his cap up] 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, no. Now it's time to be whatever you want to be. Put behind you any thoughts of home; that place of broken promises.
Jack : That what?
Captain James Hook : Have I ever made a promise, Jack... I have not kept?
[gives him a baseball]
Captain James Hook : Have I, son?

Jack : "Run home, Jack."
Captain Hook : Smee, no, no, no! They've got it backwards! Tell them to turn it around!

Captain Hook : [looks from Jack to Maggie] Easy.
Maggie : I hate... I hate you, Mr. Hook!
Captain Hook : [laughs] What did I tell you, Smee? No little children love me.
Smee : Yes, they do. Come on, you.
[grabs Maggie]
Smee : You're depressin' the Captain.

[laughs]
Captain Hook : Right?

Captain James Hook : [contemplating] Smee? Smee, I've just had a sublime vision. All the jagged parts of my life have come together to form a complete an mystical... whole. An epiphany.
Smee : A "piphy"-what?
Captain James Hook : My life is over!
Smee : Does that mean you've lost your appetite?
Captain James Hook : Yes. Goodbye.
-
Smee : [rings the bell while the duel goes on] If there's anybody not fighting, get here quick!
-
Captain Hook : Well, I should claw myself with my own hook. Not to kill Pan when I had the chance? What have I done? What have I done, Smee? Agreed to a preposterous plan, an absurd war. Now I'm bound by my indefatigable good form to wait.
Smee : I'll fix you a nice plate.
Captain Hook : [interrupted] Wait for what?
Captain Hook : Whether it be three days or decades, he will always be a Fat, Old Pan.
[while was smee was humming and eating while spitting and Hook was interrupted]
Captain Hook : Oh, I hate being disappointed, Smee. And I hate living in this flawed body! And I hate living in Neverland! And I hate, I Hate - I Hate Peter Pan!
-
Captain Hook : Smee, I don't understand. Why doesn't he fly? He's a fop Peter Pan!
Smee : He's Peter Pan, 'lright, Captain. He's just been away from Neverland so long, his mind's been gentrified. He's forgotten everything.

Smee : Make way for the Hook!

Smee : We could make the little buggers love you.
Captain Hook : No, Smee. No little children love me.
Smee : Captain, that is the point.
Captain Hook : What do you mean?
Smee : That is the ultimate revenge.
Captain Hook : What is?
Smee : Pan's kids in love with Hook.
-
Captain Hook : I'm ready for my nightcap.
Smee : Abso-flogging-lutely. I think a bit of skulduggery would do you good. Take your mind off this Pan business. First thing tomorrow morning, we'll shoot some Indians out at Long Tom.

Captain Hook : What is that I hear? A ticking! Smee, stop it! Stop the ticking! Stop it! Stop that "tick-tick"!
Smee : There's no ticking here. There's nothing left to tick.
