SIDE 1

TOOTLES

They’re gone!

BRAVE GIRL #1

Now!

(The BRAVE GIRLS quickly re-enter and grab one of TOOTLES’ arms. The other LOST BOYS grab TOOTLES’ other arm – a tug of war. Suddenly CURLEY looks up and offstage.)

CURLEY

Look! A bird!

 (All look up, stopping tug of war.)

ALL

A bird! (etc.)


WENDY

(from offstage)

Poor Wendy! Poor Wendy!

SLIGHTLY

It’s a Wendy bird!

TIGER LILY


The bird must be omen.

BRAVE GIRL #2

Good or bad omen?


TIGER LILY

Famous Brave Girl proverb: when in doubt – run! 

SIDE 2

WENDY

Tiger Lily, I’ll never get my children to sleep after all this excitement.

TIGER LILY

We’ll go up now. We’ll keep guard and watch for pirates.

(General goodnights. BRAVE GIRLS exit.)

WENDY

Now, children, make your father comfortable.

SLIGHTLY

Here’s your chair, Father.

TWIN #1, TWIN #2

Here are your slippers, Father.

NIBS

Here’s your paper, Father.

WENDY

Now go wash up – it’s your bed time.

(The LOST BOYS run off. A serious expression comes over PETER’s face. WENDY notices.)

They are sweet, aren’t they, Peter?

(no response)

Peter?

(no response)

Peter, what is it?

PETER PAN

I was just thinking – it’s only pretend, isn’t it, that I’m their father?
