50 Peter Pan Quiet, you dogs, or I’ll cast anchor in you! Are all the children chained, so they cannot fly away? Pirate Ay, ay. Hook Then hoist them up. Starkey Tumble up, you ungentlemanly lubbers. The prisoners, except Wendy, are dragged from the hold. They are arranged in a line in front of Hook Hook Now then, you bullies, six of you walk the plank tonight, but I have room for two cabin boys. Which of you is it to be? Nobody steps forward. Then, during the course of the next exchanges between the Lost Boys, Hook makes his way down the line waiting for each boy’s decision Tootles You see, sir, I don’t think my mother would like me to be a pirate. Slightly, would your mother like you to be a pirate? Slightly I don’t think so. Nibs, would your mother like you to be a pirate? Nibs I don’t think so. Curly, would your mother like you to be a pirate? Curly I don’t think so. Twins, would your mother like you to be a pirate? Twins (together) I don’t think so. John, would your mother like you to be a pirate? John (to Michael) I don’t think so. Michael , would your mother like you to be a pirate? Hook arrives at Michael Michael (to Hook) I don’t think so. Hook, would your mother like you to be a pirate? Hook (confused) Well, no, I don’t think so … aaargh!!! (roaring) Stow this gab! Bring up their mother. Wendy is brought from the hold (syrupy) So my beauty ― you are to see your children walk the plank! Wendy Are they to die? Hook They are! The pirates snigger Silence all! … for a mother’s last words to her children. Wendy (grandly) These are my last words, dear boys. I feel that I have a message to you from your real mothers and it is this: we hope our sons will die like English gentlemen. Hook Tie her up! Smee ties Wendy up Let her watch her children go! Smee (whispering to Wendy) See, here, honey: I’ll save you if you promise to be my mother. Wendy I would almost rather have no children at all. Hook (turning to the boys) Right, you swabs ― who is to be the first? Music 31A: Instrumental Just then the “tick tock” sound of the crocodile is heard. An immediate change comes over Hook. He listens and begins to shake
Act III, Scene 3 (hoarsely) Hide me! The pirates gather round him ― all faces turned inwards Peter flies on to the boat, carrying a large alarm clock. He signals everyone to keep quiet and disappears into the hold unseen by the pirates The pirates disperse and Hook is discovered cowering. Slowly he becomes himself again Music 32: Pirates’ Song (Reprise) Hook Then here’s to Johnny Plank! Yo ho yo ho, the frisky plank, You walk along it so, Till it goes down, and you goes down To Davy Jones below! The boys counter Hook by singing “Rule Britannia” (speaking angrily) Do you want a touch of the cat before you walk the plank? Boys (feigning fear) No, no. (etc.) Some of the boys go down on their knees Hook Fetch the cat, Jukes, it’s in the cabin. Jukes Ay, ay, sir. He enters the hold Hook begins to sing again Hook Yo ho, yo ho, the scratching cat Its tails are nine, you know And when they’re writ upon your back … There is a terrible scream from Jukes inside the hold. Peter has obviously “dealt” with him. Peter follows the scream by crowing Slightly (solemnly) One! Hook What was that? Cecco puts his head inside the hold What’s the matter with Bill Jukes, you dog? Cecco The matter wi’ him is he’s dead … stabbed! Pirates (general concern) What! Bill Jukes dead! (etc.) Cecco The cabin’s as black as a pit ― but there is something terrible in there: the thing you heard crowing. Hook Cecco ― go back and fetch me out that doodle-doo. Cecco (cowering) No, Captain, no. (panic-stricken, he starts gibbering in Italian) La mia madre sempre midisse, “Non parla con stranieri”. Ah, Mamma mia! … Hook (cleaning his hook and holding it above Cecco) Did you say you would go, Cecco? 51
