A FAN-FICTION BASED ON TRUE LIFE

---

SCENE 1:
THE JOLLY ROGER.  THE LOST BOYS, PETER, AND THEIR NEW "MOTHER", ELIZABETH, ARE HOLDING ON TO THE WALL OF THE SHIP, MAKING PLANS FOR THEIR NEXT ATTACK ON THE PIRATES AND CAPTAIN HOOK.  ALL ARE DRESSED IN LONG SHIRTS AND PANTS, RAGGED FROM YEARS OF USE AND DAMAGE.  ELIZABETH HAS VERY SHORT HAIR AND IS WEARING A HAT, AND HER CLOTHES ARE VERY BAGGY, MAKING HER LOOK JUST LIKE A "LOST BOY", MOST DEFINITELY NOT A MOTHER, WHICH IS IMPORTANT TO THEIR PLAN.  OTHERWISE THE TIDES COULD TURN AT ANY MOMENT ONCE THE PIRATES FIND OUT...

PETER:  Okay, everyone, you all know what to do?
BOYS:  Yes, Peter!
TOOTLES:  Even mother has to do this?  Aren't you worried that she'll be hurt, Peter?
PETER:  Not to worry.  Elizabeth is able to do this on her own, don't you think so?
ELIZABETH:  No problem!
PETER:  It's settled, then.  On my signal, we attack.

(THREE PIRATES PASS BY, TWO HECKLING A YOUNGER, NOVICE PIRATE NAMED ANDREW.)

PIRATE 1:  Get a move on, Andrew!
PIRATE 2:  Yeah, you know we can't have our lunch two minutes late!
PIRATE 1:  Totally against our principals!
ANDREW:  Yes, I'm sorry.
HOOK:  Stand, men!

(EVERY PIRATE ON THE JOLLY ROGER LINES UP IN A PERFECT LINE, EXCEPT ANDREW.  HE IS STILL RUSHING AROUND TRYING TO GET THE OTHERS THEIR LUNCH.  ELIZABETH STARTS TO LAUGH A LITTLE, AND PETER GIVES HER A WARNING GLANCE.)

ELIZABETH:  (WHISPERING)  I can't help it...  (GIGGLES)  He's obviously a new one.
PETER:  Yeah, I've never seen him before.  I wonder if he's the one Tink was supposed to get...
ELIZABETH:  And that's why she's missing!  The pirates took both of them!
PETER:  Calm down!
SLIGHTLY:  Don't be so loud, mother!  The pirates will hear you!
HOOK:  Bad form, Andrew!  Bad form.  (ANDREW REALIZES HIS MISTAKE AND HURRIEDLY GETS IN LINE.)  We do these drills for a reason.  Please, try your best to follow orders.  After all, any lower of a ranking on this ship means that the crocodile will have someone new to feast upon.  (HE GRABS ANDREW'S COLLAR WITH HIS HOOK.)  Got it?
ANDREW:  Yes, Captain, sir.
SMEE:  That's tellin' him, Cap'n!
HOOK:  Now, down to business.  (HE DROPS ANDREW, WHO ALMOST LOSES HIS FOOTING.)  I see a few of you are still working on your sea legs, Andrew....  (HE GULPS.)  But I have a feeling that today you will be able to give yourself a true test of footing on the high seas, for I do believe that we have a bit of trouble in our mists....  (HE DIPS HIS HOOKED HAND OVER THE SIDE OF THE SHIP AND GRABS PETER.  HE IS BROUGHT OVER THE SIDE INTO THE JOLLY ROGER, AND THE LOST BOYS AND ELIZABETH WAIT PATIENTLY FOR A SIGNAL.)  And I do believe that I have found him.
PETER:  How you doing, ol' Captain Codfish?
HOOK:  Just fine, boy.  Ever so much better now that I have you in my grasp.  I'll have you know that these will be your last words, Pan!
PETER:  Or maybe you just might be wrong, Captain!  (THE LOST BOYS AND ELIZABETH JUMP OVER THE SIDE OF THE SHIP, ATTACKING EVERY PIRATE IN SIGHT.  ELIZABETH MAKES A RUN FOR A VERY DECORATIVE CABIN NEAR THE BACK OF THE SHIP.)  Go find her, we'll take care of the rest!

(ELIZABETH GIVES A "THUMBS-UP" AND RUNS INTO THE CABIN.  ANDREW SEES HER AND PANICS.)

ANDREW:  That's the Captain's Chambers!  Stay out of there!
HOOK:  (STILL HOLDING PETER)  Don't just stand there, get him!
ANDREW:  Aye aye, Captain!  (HE RUNS INTO THE CAPTAIN'S CABIN AND STRAINS HIS EYES TO LOOK AROUND.  THE ROOM IS PITCH BLACK, EXCEPT FOR SOME LIGHT COMING THROUGH A HOLE IN THE CURTAINS.)  Come out of there, Lost Boy!  I know you're in here somewhere.
ELIZABETH:  Who are you calling "Lost Boy"?!  (SHE CUPS HER HANDS OVER HER MOUTH, AND STARTS TO SPEAK IN A LOWER TONE:)  I mean...
ANDREW:  You're not....
ELIZABETH:  Fine.  You've found me out.  But why go through all that when I could just beat you right now?  (SHE EMERGES FROM BEHIND ONE OF THE CURTAINS HOLDING A WOODEN STAFF.)  What do you say?
ANDREW:  Sounds good to me.  (HE TAKES OUT A SMALL SWORD.  A VERY SMALL SWORD.)  En garde!
ELIZABETH:  You're kidding.
ANDREW:  What?
ELIZABETH:  What kind of a sword is that?
ANDREW:  It's...  a low-ranking go-fer pirate sword...  That's what it is...
ELIZABETH:  (SNICKERING)  That has to be the funniest thing I've seen in quite a while...  (SHE STARTS TO LAUGH OUT LOUD, THEN DROPS THE STAFF AND FALLS TO THE GROUND, ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING.)  That's so great!  You pirates just get funnier and funnier, don't you?
ANDREW:  Hey, that's enough!  (HE RUSHES AT HER WITH THE SWORD, BUT SHE REACTS IN TIME, STILL LAUGHING, PICKING UP THE STAFF AND GUARDING HIS ATTACK.)  Good job.  Didn't expect that much coming from a girl.  Say, you wouldn't happen to be the new mother of the Lost Boys, would you?
ELIZABETH:  That I am.  (SHE PUSHES THE SWORD AWAY WITH THE STAFF.)  Why do you ask?
ANDREW:  Polite conversation.  I'm the one that takes care of the prisoners when they're captured.  It's what a go-fer pirate like me does.
ELIZABETH:  Then you know where Tinkerbell is.
ANDREW:  The pixie?  Yeah, sure!
ELIZABETH:  (SHE RUSHES AT HIM WITH THE STAFF, AND ANDREW DOESN'T BLOCK IN TIME.  HE IS PUSHED TO THE GROUND, HIS SWORD SLIDES ACROSS THE WOOD FLOOR, AND THE STAFF PINS HIM DOWN AT HIS NECK.)  Where is she?

(THE CABIN DOOR OPENS, AND HOOK WALKS THROUGH.  HE SEES THAT ANDREW HAS BEEN BEATEN, AND HE WALKS UP BEHIND ELIZABETH AND HOOKS HER COLLAR, LIFTING HER INTO THE AIR.)

HOOK:  I'll throw this one into the dungeon.  You know what to do after that, Andrew.
ELIZABETH:  What happened to everyone else?
HOOK:  A girl?
ANDREW:  Yes, Captain.  I was as surprised as you were.
HOOK:  Surprised?  Ha!  You should know me better.  I knew it all along!  Don't underestimate me.  As for you, dear lady, your friends ran away.  Guess their plan just didn't work out the way they wanted it to.  What's your name, dearie?  (ELIZABETH SPITS IN HIS FACE.)  I see.  Andrew, I'm putting her in the dungeon.  You know what to do.
ANDREW:  Yes, Captain.

PETER:  Boys, where's Elizabeth?
TWINS:  (POINTING AT EACH OTHER)  I thought you'd gotten her!
PETER:  She's been left on the ship?!
TWINS:  (STILL POINTING)  It was his fault!
PETER:  If it's anybody's fault, it's mine.  All of you stay here.  I'll go rescue her and Tink.
CURLY:  But that's just what they want you to do!  It's a trap, Peter!
PETER:  Don't be silly.
TOOTLES:  Don't go, Peter!
PETER:  But...  We haven't had a mother since Wendy came...
SLIGHTLY:  But you've got to keep us safe, Peter!  What if they come while you're gone?
PETER:  You're right.  Elizabeth's able to take care of herself.  And if she really needs help, all she needs to do is fly, am I right?
TWINS:  Good plan, Peter!
PETER:  I know.

ELIZABETH:  Put me down, or I'll call the crocodile!
HOOK:  Don't dare mention that beast again, or you'll face the hook!
ANDREW:  Do you need some help, Captain?
HOOK:  Does it look like I need help?  (ANDREW DOES NOT REPLY, CONFUSED AT WHETHER OR NOT HE WOULD BE PUNISHED IF HE TOLD THE TRUTH.)  Of course not!  I can do anything on my-- (ELIZABETH STARTS TO FLY AWAY AGAIN, BUT HOOK CATCHES HER.)  own.  See?
ANDREW:  Point taken.
ELIZABETH:  I'm warning you, Hook!  Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock...
HOOK:  Quiet!  Stop it this instant!  (HE THROWS HER INTO THE CELL.  ELIZABETH TRIES TO FLY OUT OF THE DOOR, BUT HOOK CLOSES AND LOCKS IT, AND SHE RAMS INTO IT, HITTING HER HEAD.)  That'll teach you to mock the captain!  Andrew, I leave her to you.

(HOOK LEAVES THE DUNGEON.)

ANDREW:  I know how you feel.  (ELIZABETH DOES NOT REPLY.)  What's your name?  Or is it really "Spit on the Captain?"  (NO REPLY.  INSTEAD, SHE TURNS AWAY FROM HIM.)  Very well.  I guess it's only fair to tell you that I didn't want to stay on this ship in the first place.  I ran away from home about a month ago, and a tiny fairy, Tinkerbell, found me.  (ELIZABETH LOOKS UP, BUT NOT AT HIM.)  I see you must know her.  Well, there we were, flying through the air, and a cannonball was fired.  It almost hit us, and with my thoughts obviously not the happiest at that moment, I fell with Tinkerbell.  We were almost able to run away from whoever shot the cannon, but we were hunted down.  They captured me, and they made me a slave.  Tinkerbell is in another room.  I see her at least once a day, just to talk with her.
ELIZABETH:  You can understand her?
ANDREW:  Of course!  She told me about Neverland...  Hey, you spoke.
ELIZABETH:  What's the use of having a conversation when you don't talk back?
ANDREW:  You never told me your name.
ELIZABETH:  It's Elizabeth.  I can only assume you're Andrew, with all the yelling that's been going on.
ANDREW:  That's right.  How long have you been in Neverland?
ELIZABETH:  I have no idea.  With the seasons and days around here, one can never really tell.
ANDREW:  Guess a slave has more time to contemplate how long he's been here than a mother.
ELIZABETH:  Oh, I used to think that it would be the greatest thing to take care of the Lost Boys.  Now I'm not so sure.  They're so rowdy...
ANDREW:  So are the pirates.
ELIZABETH:  ...unclean...
ANDREW:  That too.
ELIZABETH:  ...terrible grammar...
ANDREW:  Except Hook.
ELIZABETH:  ...and they treat me like a slave.
ANDREW:  Join the club.  Here.  (HE WALKS OVER TO A CHEST, OPENS IT, AND PULLS OUT A THICK BLANKET AND A PILLOW.)  Usually we don't issue these to prisoners, but Hook said to go ahead and give you the best treatment possible.  Three squares a day, and I'll be in to talk with you any time you wish.  I'll send a few messages to and from Tinkerbell, if you'd like me to.
ELIZABETH:  Thank you.  (SHE TRIES TO PULL THE BLANKET AND PILLOW THROUGH THE BARS, BUT THE PILLOW DOESN'T FIT.)  That's all right.  I'll just sleep on my arms.  Do it all the time.  The Lost Boys still haven't gotten around to the bed they promised me.
ANDREW:  That's all right.  I've got the keys.  (HE UNLOCKS THE DOOR AND HANDS HER THE PILLOWS.)  This brings back memories of a month ago...  (HE WALKS INSIDE, THE DOOR STILL OPEN.)  I didn't get the royal treatment.  I was in here, shivering away.  Still am, really.  I sleep out on the dock.  But I'm supposed to be on watch.  If they find me sleeping, they bring out the cat.
ELIZABETH:  Cat?
ANDREW:  Yeah.  This whip with nine "tails" on it.  Hurts like nothin'.
ELIZABETH:  That's horrible!  Isn't there anyone else on watch?
ANDREW:  Yes, watching me.
ELIZABETH:  Well, if it's any comfort...  (SHE HOLDS THE BLANKET OUT IN FRONT OF HIM.)  Take this.  And this, too.  (SHE HANDS HIM THE PILLOW.)  I find it very comfortable down here.  I don't need them.
ANDREW:  No, I can't...
ELIZABETH:  Why not?
ANDREW:  Captains orders, from both sides.  He says that I don't get any special treatment, and he says you get it all.
ELIZABETH:  Well, if I get it all, I should be able to give you orders, shouldn't I?
ANDREW:  Sounds legit to me.
ELIZABETH:  Then I order you to take these!
ANDREW:  Out of politeness, I refuse.
ELIZABETH:  Fine.  (SHE RESTS THE ITEMS ON THE FLOOR.)  You left the door wide open, you know.
ANDREW:  I know.
ELIZABETH:  Why?
ANDREW:  I couldn't bare to see you locked up in here like this.  I was giving you a chance to leave.
ELIZABETH:  If I did, I'd probably go back home.
ANDREW:  To the Lost Boys?
ELIZABETH:  No.  Home.  (SHE LOOKS THROUGH THE GRATING IN THE ROOF UP AT THE STARS.)  The thing is, without Peter or Tinkerbell, I could never find my way back.
ANDREW:  Too many to count up there, huh?
ELIZABETH:  When you're on the second star to the right, it's difficult to find your way back, or even to get out.
ANDREW:  I would've been out of here as soon as I could, but the pirates always keep such a sharp eye on me.
ELIZABETH:  Can't you still fly?
ANDREW:  Nope.
ELIZABETH:  The pixie dust never wears off.
ANDREW:  It's not that.  Just I can't recall anything good that's happened since I've been here.
ELIZABETH:  Think of home!
ANDREW:  That's just why I ran away in the first place, Elizabeth!
ELIZABETH:  That's true...  Isn't there anything that you'd like to see in Neverland that you didn't before?
ANDREW:  I'd love to go to the lagoon.
ELIZABETH:  Just down the way!  When you escape, you should go there first thing.
ANDREW:  Do you think I could?
ELIZABETH:  Sure!  But not tonight.  They'll expect you to try to escape as soon as possible.  You've got to wait a while longer.  Peter may make it easier by coming by then anyway.
ANDREW:  You have a spark, don't you?  Well, I don't mind it, but if you say those sorts of things to the Captain, he won't care if you're his real mother!  He'll make you walk the plank right then and there.
ELIZABETH:  He forgets I can fly.
ANDREW:  Or maybe he'll just use the hook on you.
ELIZABETH:  Maybe I'll be a little less smart, then...
ANDREW:  Very good plan, I assure you.  I'll be on deck if you need me.
ELIZABETH:  Wait...
ANDREW:  Yeah?
ELIZABETH:  Can you stay down here for a little longer?  (SHE SITS ON THE FLOOR.)  Just to talk?
ANDREW:  I guess so.  After all, the Captain did say to do what you ordered!  (SITS DOWN BESIDE HER.)  So, just how will you get out of here?
ELIZABETH:  Ah, one way or another.  I'll figure something out.  May have to twist a few arms, but it'll work.

ANDREW:  Hey, Tink.  (TINKERBELL SPEAKS)  What do you mean "Don't call me 'Tink'?"  You know I'm still on your side.  (T.B. SPEAKS)  Yeah, I know.  It's taking a while for me to get you out of here.  You may want to know that the Lost Boys' new mother is captured as well.  (T.B. SPEAKS EXCITEDLY.)  Oh, don't go saying that.  She conveyed no sort of emotion to any one of them, except frustration.  (T.B. CALMS DOWN.)  Yeah, I know where you're coming from.  Listen, I've got the keys with me.  Would you like to be set free?  (T.B. TALKS RAPIDLY.)  Of course it's dangerous!  But you've got to get to your hideout and tell the others what's going on.  (HE UNLOCKS THE CAGE, AND SHE FLIES OUT OF IT.)  Good luck, Tink!  I hope to see you again!

(TINKERBELL FLIES AWAY HAPPILY, AND ANDREW LETS OUT A SIGH OF RELIEF.  HOOK IS HEARD YELLING OUTSIDE.)

HOOK:  Pixie!  What are you doing out here?! Andrew !  Out here, now!
ANDREW:  (RUNNING OUT THE DOOR.)  Yes, Captain?
HOOK:  Tinkerbell is loose!
ANDREW:  I know that.  I tried my best to keep her down, really I did.
HOOK:  How did she open the door?
ANDREW:  Well...
HOOK:  Tell me now, boy!
ANDREW:  I'm not so sure...
HOOK:  Liar!  You let her out!
ANDREW:  Sir, I'm sorry--
HOOK:  Not another word!  Into the dungeon!  (HE LIFTS THE GRATING ON THE DECK AND THROWS HIM DOWN INTO THE CELL WITH ELIZABETH.)  See how you both like it without any good treatment--  (ELIZABETH FLIES OUT OF THE CELL, BUT IS SNAGGED BY HIS HOOK.)  Don't try me, missy.  Get back down there.  (HE THROWS HER BACK DOWN.)  Let this be a lesson to the both of you.

(HE LOCKS THE GRATING AND WALKS BACK INTO HIS CABIN.)

ANDREW:  I'm sorry.  It didn't quite work out as planned, did it?
ELIZABETH:  No, it didn't...
ANDREW:  Well, Tinkerbell's safe.  I know that for sure.  She'll be able to get Peter Pan up here in no time!
ELIZABETH:  But she's jealous of me!  She'll never tell him the truth.
ANDREW:  No, I explained everything to her as best I could.
ELIZABETH:  Just hope she trusts pirates.

TWIN #1:  Hey, Tink!  You're back!
TWIN #2:  Will you help us look for the rest of them?  (TINKERBELL TALKS, WITH A TEMPER)  Well, sorry!
TWIN #1:  What's going on, Tink?  (SHE CONTINUES, CALMLY.)  Well, we can see you escaped.  Where's mother?  (SHE CONTINUES.)  Still on the ship?!
TWIN #2:  That's horrible!
TWIN #1:  We've got to tell Peter!  (JINGLE, JINGLE)  Don't tell him?
TWIN #2:  So she's okay on her own?
TWIN #1:  Wow, mother's so brave!  (JINGLE)  Right, Tink.  No matter what, we won't tell him.
TWIN #2:  So will you help us find everyone else, Tink?  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Thanks!  Come on, I think Slightly's around here somewhere...

HOOK:  Smee, for the last time, I'll buy you a whistle.
SMEE:  But Captain, I'm sure I can do it!

(CECCO RUNS IN.)

CECCO:  Captain?  Have you seen that boy we captured a while back?  I can't find him.
HOOK:  He's in the dungeon.
CECCO:  (WALKING OUT THE DOOR)  Okay.  Hey, everyone!  He's in the dungeon.  (HE BURSTS BACK THROUGH THE DOOR.)  What do you mean in the dungeon?!
HOOK:  He almost caused us to lose our newfound mother.
CECCO:  But he was supposed to finish our laundry for today...
HOOK:  Too bad.  Don't worry.  I'll be letting him out in a week or so.  It can wait.
CECCO:  But Captain...
HOOK:  Tut!  No more.  (HE WAVES THE HOOK.)  Go on now.  Starky needs some help with those ropes.  (CECCO EXITS.)  What did they do about their laundry when he wasn't around?
SMEE:  Stunk horribly, Captain.
HOOK:  Ah, yes.  Now I remember...  Maybe I'll let him out a little sooner than planned.

ANDREW:  Aw, give it a rest, Elizabeth.
ELIZABETH:  How can I...  (RAMS INTO GRATING)  Gah!  Rest when I know that...  (RAMS INTO GRATING)  Gah!  Hook is planning on keep...  (RAMS INTO GRATING AND FALLS TO THE GROUND) ...ing me here for as long as I live...
ANDREW:  Which, in Neverland, is forever.
ELIZABETH:  Forever's a long time.  (SHE STANDS UP AND STARTS RAMMING INTO THE GRATING AGAIN.)  Just got to try... (RAMS GRATING)  Oh, what's the use?
ANDREW:  Just what I was saying.  That thing's locked tight.  Even if you did escape, the other pirates guarding the gate would catch you in seconds.
ELIZABETH:  Honestly, are they that smart?
ANDREW:  When the Captain's around, yes.
ELIZABETH:  I don't think it gets any worse.
ANDREW:  Wait until they start singing.
SMEE'S VOICE:  What tempo, Captain?
HOOK'S VOICE:  Tempo... tempo...  A tango!
ELIZABETH:  It begins.

(THE MUSIC STARTS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND, ALONG WITH PIRATES SINGING VERY OFF KEY.)

ANDREW:  They're in unusually good form today.
ELIZABETH:  Really?
ANDREW:  Yep.  Just wait until they start getting tired and drunk.  That's when the real fun begins.
ELIZABETH:  Great.  How long does that usually take?
ANDREW:  Give them fifteen minutes.
ELIZABETH:  I can't stand this any more!  I want to get out of here!
ANDREW:  Well, there is one chance that you could escape tonight...
ELIZABETH:  How?  Please, tell me!
ANDREW:  Usually, everyone up there except for Hook is almost dead on their feet after a party like this, and Hook would never dream of going on watch.  And little does he know...  (HE REACHES THROUGH A CRACK IN THE WALL AND GRABS A RING OF KEYS) ... that I know where he keeps his spare keys!
ELIZABETH:  (GRABBING ANDREW AROUND THE THROAT)  You mean to tell me that you knew those where there all along?!  I swear....  (SHE SUDDENLY THROWS HER ARMS AROUND HIM)  I swear, you must be the most resourceful pirate I know.
ANDREW:  (SUDDENLY VERY CONFUSED)  Hey, no problem...  I guess.

HOOK:  Blast it all, if that pixie was still here I'd have a light to use...  (HE FINDS A TORCH AND LIGHTS IT)  That's much better.  (HE SHINES IT INTO THE DUNGEON, AND ANDREW IS FOUND FAST ASLEEP, HUDDLED UNDER THE BLANKET.)  Andrew.  (NO ANSWER.)  Andrew, WAKE UP!
ANDREW:  (VERY SLURRED SPEECH)  But it's Saturday...
HOOK:  What?
ANDREW:  (SLURRED SPEECH)  Mom, you know there's no school on Saturday....
HOOK:  ANDREW!!! On your feet, NOW!  (ANDREW WAKES UP AND STANDS.)  Bad form!  And to think I was going to let you and that girl out of here....  Where is she?
ANDREW:  Who, Captain?
HOOK:  That girl!  (OPENING THE DOOR)  Where is she?!  You lost another one?!
ANDREW:  I beg your pardon, Captain?
HOOK:  Don't toy with me, boy!  (HE PICKS ANDREW UP BY THE COLLAR WITH HIS HOOK AND SLINGS HIM OUT THE DOOR.)  Find her, now!
ANDREW:  No problem, Captain!  (HE REACHES INTO HIS POCKET, TAKES OUT HIS KEYS, SLAMS THE DUNGEON DOOR SHUT, AND LOCKS THE DOOR BEHIND HIM.  HOOK IS TRAPPED.)  I think this is a nice, safe place to keep you while I look.
HOOK:  Good idea, Andrew.  (AS ANDREW LEAVES THE DUNGEON, HE REALIZES HE'S BEEN TRICKED.)  One moment!  Andrew!  Horrible form!  Get back in here!  SMEE!  HELP ME!

ELIZABETH:  Guess I'm on my own, now.  Thank you, Andrew.
ANDREW'S VOICE:  You're quite welcome.  (ELIZABETH IS STARTLED, AND SHE TAKES OUT A POCKET KNIFE.  ANDREW CLIMBS OVER THE WALL OF THE CROW'S NEST, AND ELIZABETH RELAXES.)  No cause for alarm.  Everything's going as planned.  Hook's locked up in the dungeon.
ELIZABETH:  He's been screaming for the past few minutes.  Aren't you afraid someone will hear him?
ANDREW:  Nah.  Everyone's so drunk that even if he did wake them up they'd just yell and laugh at him.
ELIZABETH:  Thank you so much, Andrew.  (SHE LOOKS AWAY FROM HIM.)  Guess this is it.  Maybe someday we'll see each other again.  (SHE FLIES INTO THE AIR, JUST A FEW FEET FROM THE CROW'S NEST.)  Good-bye, Andrew.
ANDREW:  (STOPPING HER BEFORE HER FLIGHT)  Wait, just a moment.  Do you think I could tag along with you?
ELIZABETH:  I've tried carrying one of the Lost Boys while I was flying.  It didn't quite work.
ANDREW:  And?
ELIZABETH:  I'll just stop the story there, if you don't mind.
ANDREW:  No, I mean, "And why would you have to carry me?"
ELIZABETH:  You said so yourself that you couldn't fly.
ANDREW:  How do you think I got up here so easily?  (HE SOARS INTO THE AIR, A LITTLE UNSTEADY.)  Finally found a happy thought.
ELIZABETH:  What's that?
ANDREW:  I'll tell you later.
ELIZABETH:  Hey, if you can keep up, I'll give you the grand tour of Neverland.  What do you say?
ANDREW:  Keep up?  Heh, I'll beat you to the finish line!

PETER:  Hey, what's wrong?
TOOTLES:  It's mother!  She's over at the lagoon, and she's with someone!
PETER:  Elizabeth?
TOOTLES:  Yes, and the guy she was with looked like a pirate!
PETER:  A pirate?!
TOOTLES:  She must have given in to them.  Poor mother.
PETER:  It couldn't be...  (HE FLIES OUT THE DOOR.)  Tink!  Get over here!  (TINKERBELL FLIES TO HIS SHOULDER.)  Did you hear about her?  (JINGLE, JINGLE)  She's at the lagoon.  We've got to get her to come to her senses!  Really, a pirate!

ELIZABETH:  Come on, Andrew!  The water's great!  (SHE FLIES IN A ZIG ZAG PATTERN THROUGH THE WATERFALL.)  It's fantastic!
ANDREW:  In a minute.
ELIZABETH:  (COMING TO A SUDDEN HALT)  Andrew, are you okay?  (SHE FLIES TO THE CLIFF AND HOVERS IN FRONT OF HIM.)  Hello?  I thought you wanted to come over here to have some fun!
ANDREW:  I will!  I just want to take all of this in.  When you live on a loud pirate ship in the middle of the ocean for so long, you tend to long for such a peaceful scene.
ELIZABETH:  (SHE SITS DOWN BESIDE ANDREW)  I know what you mean.  The boys are so much trouble.  I come out here almost every night.
ANDREW:  How can you?  Don't you ever sleep?
ELIZABETH:  A couple hours a day.
ANDREW:  That couldn't possibly be healthy.
ELIZABETH:  Trust me, I'd rather have some peace and quiet out here than to try and sleep through a room full of snoring kids.  (ANDREW NODS IN AGREEMENT.)  Once I see that everyone's fast asleep--  They always make me sing them a lullaby before they sleep, too.  So repetitive it's annoying...  But once they're asleep, I sneak out the door and make my way to the lagoon.  I do a bit of laundry, fly for a while, maybe go for a swim, then I sleep under the stars.  By that time, it's almost sunrise.  But I still have plenty of time.  They never wake up until the afternoon.
ANDREW:  Still, you need to get your rest!
ELIZABETH:  And I get it, just enough to get me through the day.
ANDREW:  It's not enough.
ELIZABETH:  I know.  (SHE LAYS ON THE GROUND.)  I'm worn out at the end of the day, but that's normal for any person who takes care of so many people.
ANDREW:  Yeah, but...
ELIZABETH:  I'm fine.
ANDREW:  Really, though.  Try to get some sleep.
ELIZABETH:  It would be nice...  (SHE CLOSES HER EYES, BUT THEN OPENS THEM, LOOKING WORRIED.)  But what're you going to do?  I mean, you don't know your way around Neverland too well just yet.  Are you just going to sit here all day or try to get yourself lost?
ANDREW:  I'll just stay by the lagoon.  It's no problem, really.  Sometimes, it just takes a little of nature's beauty to make a bad day turn good.
ELIZABETH:  Okay...  (SHE SHUTS HER EYES AGAIN.)  But don't blame me when you start to get tired of this place.  And if you try to wake me up, I'm not going to be a very cheery person, I'll tell you that right now.
ANDREW:  No problem.  Just try to get some rest.  (NO ANSWER FROM ELIZABETH.)  Hey, Elizabeth?  Are you awake?  (NO ANSWER.)  Yeah, I think she needed some rest.  (HE STARES OUT IN FRONT OF HIM, DOWN THE WATERFALL.  HE SEES A FIGURE FLYING AT HIM, AND A SMALL SPARK SEEMS TO BE FLOATING BESIDE HIM.  ANDREW REALIZES WHO IT MUST BE.)  That has to be Pan!  (HE STANDS UP AND FLIES OVER TO HIM.)  Hi, Peter!  (HE HOLDS OUT HIS HAND.)  It's a pleasure to meet you!
PETER:  Shake hands with a pirate?  I'd rather be killed by the old Codfish himself!
ANDREW:  What's wrong?
PETER:  You're a pirate, that's what!  I don't associate with them unless we're in a battle.  Of course, if you don't hand over Elizabeth right now, we could go ahead and start one.
ANDREW:  No, you've got it all wrong!
PETER:  What?  That you're a pirate?  Your secret's not new to me.  I saw you fumbling around on the Jolly Roger, serving the rest of your seafaring buddies.  You're probably making mother do all that for you now!
ANDREW:  Mother?  Oh, you must mean Elizabeth.  Not at all.  She's resting over there on the cliff.
PETER:  (LOOKING OVER ANDREW'S SHOULDER)  She's not resting...  You knocked her out!
ANDREW:  Why would I knock her out?!
PETER:  Because you're a pirate!
ANDREW:  By force alone, I assure you.
PETER:  What do you mean?
ANDREW:  I was the one that Tinkerbell was trying to bring to Neverland the day that she was kidnapped.
PETER:  Tink, is this true?  (JINGLE, JINGLE)  You don't remember?
ANDREW:  Come on, Tinkerbell!  I was the one who set you and Elizabeth free!  Now you betray me like this? (PETER FLIES PAST HIM.)  Hey, what're you doing?
PETER:  I'm taking her back home.  (HE PICKS UP ELIZABETH AND THROWS HER OVER HIS SHOULDER.)  She belongs with us.
ANDREW:  I don't think you want to do that...  (ELIZABETH WAKES UP, WITH AN ANGERED LOOK IN HER EYES.)  Here it comes...
ELIZABETH:  Peter!  I thought you'd given up on me!
PETER:  Well, Tink here said that I shouldn't worry about you...
ELIZABETH:  Good ol' jealous Tink.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Yeah, you're jealous!  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Don't act like you aren't.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Oh, is that so?  You lied so I wouldn't come back ever again?!
PETER:  Tink...  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Don't take that tone of voice with me.  You said she'd be okay trying to get away from the pirates.  Look!  One of them is still holding her captive!
ANDREW:  That's not true!
PETER:  Don't try to fool me, pirate!
ANDREW:  I never wanted to be one.  You've got to believe me.
ELIZABETH:  (FIGHTING HER WAY OUT OF PETER'S GRASP)  Let me go, Peter!  (SHE FLIES AWAY FROM HIM.)  Why don't you believe Andrew?  What he says is true.
PETER:  How do you know that you haven't been tricked?
ELIZABETH:  Because, I know him too well to think that he could do such a horrible thing.
PETER:  Then how do I know that you haven't joined with the pirates?
ELIZABETH:  Join with Hook?  Never!
PETER:  Andrew did.
ANDREW:  It wasn't my choice!  (TINKERBELL FLIES INTO HIS FACE AND TALKS)  Sorry, it wasn't like I could just waltz into the Captain's cabin and free you so easily!  (JINGLE JINGLE)  I didn't have a choice...
PETER:  You fought mother?
ANDREW:  I didn't know she wasn't a Lost Boy!
PETER:  Still, you're against me.
ANDREW:  Well, I could either beat her up or walk the plank.  Which would you pick?!
PETER:  I'd never try to hurt mother.
ELIZABETH:  I picked a fight with him, Peter.  Don't worry--
PETER:  Why shouldn't I worry?  We need you, Elizabeth!
ELIZABETH:  And I need Andrew-- (SHE PUTS HER HANDS OVER HER MOUTH, STIFLING HER WORDS.)  I mean...
PETER & ANDREW:  (QUIZZICAL LOOKS ON THEIR FACES)  What?  (JINGLE JINGLE?!)
ELIZABETH:  Excuse me.

(ELIZABETH FLIES DOWN THE CLIFF, BUT PETER AND ANDREW DON'T SEE HER AS SHE FLIES INTO THE CAVE BEHIND THE WATERFALL.)

ANDREW:  Elizabeth!  (HE FLIES AND LOOKS DOWN THE WATERFALL AND SEES NOTHING EXCEPT ROCKS AT THE BASE.  AS HIS FACE BECOMES MORE AND MORE GRAVE, HE STARTS TO FALL.)  Why'd she go and do that...  (HE SUDDENLY STARTS TO PLUMMET DOWN)  Peter! Help me!
PETER:  Good riddance, pirate!  (HE TURNS TO TINKERBELL.)  Come on.  We'd better get to the bottom of the waterfall before he can hurt her any more than she already is.  (HE FLIES PAST ANDREW, WHO IS STILL FALLING.)  See you at the bottom!  (JINGLE JINGLE)
ANDREW:  Peter!  Wait!  (PETER ZOOMS PAST, NO HINT OF HELPING HIM IN ANY WAY.)  Oh well.  Maybe she made it...  (HE STARTS TO SLOW HIS FALL UNTIL HE STOPS COMPLETELY IN MIDAIR.)  Hey, I'm not falling any more-- (ELIZABETH FLIES FROM THE CAVE BEHIND THE WATERFALL, GRABS ANDREW'S ARM, AND PULLS HIM INSIDE.)  I knew it!  I'm dead!  I'm still falling!
ELIZABETH:  Andrew, calm down!  I'm all right.  You're all right.
ANDREW:  Where am I...  (HE SEES THE WATERFALL)  Oh...  I was wondering how you were able to fly through here a while ago.
ELIZABETH:  Yup.  When it's raining outside, I sleep in here.  Very comfortable, once you get used to the noise of the falls.
ANDREW:  Guess so.  Peter's down at the bottom looking for you, if you wanted to know.
ELIZABETH:  Ah, I could care less.
ANDREW:  You really don't want to baby-sit any more, do you?
ELIZABETH:  Not for a long time.
ANDREW:  Couldn't be as annoying as the pirates are, could they?
ELIZABETH:  They sing twice as off key as the rest of the pirates.
ANDREW:  (LAUGHING)  Another reason to rest in the cave, huh?
ELIZABETH:  Yeah.
ANDREW:  What was that back there, by the way?
ELIZABETH:  What was what back where?
ANDREW:  You know.
ELIZABETH:  Oh, well, Tinkerbell has been so jealous of any mother that has come to help the Lost Boys since--
ANDREW:  No.
ELIZABETH:  Oh, well, I thought I'd just take care of the stereotype that went along with women being so weak, so I picked a fight with you on the Jolly Roger.  No offense--
ANDREW:  None taken, but that's still not it.
ELIZABETH:  It isn't?
ANDREW:  No.
ELIZABETH:  I get plenty of sleep each night--
ANDREW:  About needing me.  What was that?
ELIZABETH:  Well....  You know how some things just have to be said to convince some people...
ANDREW:  Then why did you stop yourself from saying any more?
ELIZABETH:  I...
ANDREW:  Why'd you fly away?
ELIZABETH:  (LOOKING OUT TOWARDS THE EXIT OF THE CAVE)  I should be getting back to the Boys.  They're sure to have at least five ripped pockets by now.  (SHE FLIES OUTSIDE, AND ANDREW FOLLOWS)  I guess you're coming with me, then.
ANDREW:  Hey, what's a load of kids compared to a ship of pirates?
ELIZABETH:  Wouldn't be too bad to have another baby-sitter.
ANDREW:  You don't think that Peter would--
ELIZABETH:  Not another word.  He's not very trusting towards anyone.

HOOK:  (STANDING AND BRUSHING OFF HIS CLOTHES)  Good form, Smee, good form.  (TURNING TO THE REST OF THE CREW)  As for all of you...  (HE WALKS UP TO STARKY)  Where were you when I was yelling for help, eh Starky?
STARKY:  I'm sorry, Captain...
HOOK:  Were you organizing another mutiny against me, Starky?
STARKY:  I assure you I wasn't, Captain!
HOOK:  (TURNING AWAY)  Then I suppose that you were all asleep from such a big party?  (THE PIRATES STAND STILL.)  Smee, how was the party last night?
SMEE:  Very entertaining, Cap'n.
HOOK:  How many bottles of wine were served, Smee?
SMEE:  Bottles?  Well, I'm not sure on the count of that, but I know there were twelve barrels gone...
HOOK:  That explains the lot of you falling asleep, then!  (THE CREW BECOMES TENSE)  Find them, all of you!  Bring them back here, and I'll deal with them.  Don't harm them in the slightest.  They're mine.  (HE STOPS DEAD IN HIS TRACKS.)  Wait a moment!  (THE PIRATES STOP AS WELL AND LOOK AT HOOK.)  I have a much better plan than that.  I overheard that he wanted to go to a certain place on this island before anywhere else.  He and that girl were talking in the crow's nest last night, and he said that he wanted to see the lagoon.  To the lagoon!
PIRATES:  To the lagoon, to the lagoon, to the lagoon, to the lagoon, to the lagoon....
HOOK:  Is that really necessary?!
 

PETER:  Stop it, Tink.  Really, it's a pirate!  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Yeah, I guess it is kind of funny...  No, it isn't!  (JINGLE!)
ANDREW:  Hey, Peter!  I found her!
PETER:  Good for you.
ELIZABETH:  Oh, shoot.  I'll be right back.  Left my hat in the cave!
ANDREW:  (TAKING HER HAND)  Hurry back.  (HE LETS GO AND ELIZABETH BLUSHES AS SHE FLIES INTO THE CAVE AGAIN.  PETER GLARES AT ANDREW AGAIN.)  What's your problem?
PETER:  (MOCKING HIM)  "Hurry back..."  It's obvious.
ANDREW:  Just trying to make a point...
PETER:  People in Neverland have never done anything like that.  Nobody falls in love in Neverland.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Nobody, Tink!  Not even fairies.  (JINGLE...)  Seriously, nothing.  (JINGLE sniff JINGLE)  Later, tell me later!

(AS THEIR ARGUMENT GOES ON, THE PIRATES PEEK OVER THE SIDE OF THE CLIFF, BOULDERS IN ARMS AND AT THEIR FEET.)

HOOK:  (IN A LOUD WHISPER)  On the count of three, men...  One, two, three!

(THE BOULDERS SLIDE DOWN THE MOUNTAINSIDE, AND ANDREW, PETER, AND TINKERBELL BARELY MISS BEING HIT BY SOME.  INSTEAD, THEY REACH THE BASE OF THE WATERFALL, LEAVING JUST ENOUGH ROOM BETWEEN THE PILE OF ROCKS AND THE CAVE FOR RIVER WATER TO COME WELLING INTO.  THE CAVE BEGINS TO FLOOD WITH ELIZABETH STUCK INSIDE.)

ANDREW:  What was that?
HOOK:  Blast it all, can't you do anything right?!
ANDREW:  (NOT HEARING NOR SEEING THE PIRATES)  Where'd all those rocks come from?  Oh no...  I hope she wasn't hurt by any of those...  (HE FLIES TO WHERE THE CAVE SHOULD BE AND SEES THAT IT IS BEING COVERED BY ROCKS.)  Oh no...  Elizabeth, can you hear me?!  (HE TURNS TO PETER AND TINKERBELL)  Even if she answered, I can't hear a thing over the falls.  Tink, you think you can fly in there to see if she's all right?  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Because, I'm worried about her, okay?  Aren't you?!  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Tinkerbell, please!
HOOK:  Maybe you did do something right for once, men...  It seems that the girl is trapped inside that cave, and if my eyes tell me right, she won't be around for very much longer.  I can't wait to see the look on his face when Peter blames it all on him and he comes crawling back to us, just to walk the plank!  (THE PIRATES ARE ABOUT TO CHEER, BUT HOOK SHUSHES THEM BEFORE THEY CAN.)  Do you want them to hear us so soon?  No!  There's still the element of surprise!  Listen!
ANDREW:  Please, Tink.  Peter, you want her to get out of there, don't you?
PETER:  Yes, I do.  Tink, go look for her.  (JINGLE JINGLE!)  Now, Tink!  (JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE)  Okay, okay.  You don't have to be the Lost Boy's night light for a whole week.  (JINGLE!)
ANDREW:  (AS TINKERBELL FLIES THROUGH THE FALLS) Thanks, Tink!  (JINGLE)

ELIZABETH:  Over here!  (JINGLE JINGLE)  I'm all right at the moment, but I won't be able to hold my breath for too long once it gets too deep in here.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  I can swim, but not for too long.  I get tired out easily.  (JINGLE)  Fly?  Honestly, in this situation, would you be able to think of a happy thought?!  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Think about Andrew?  Why should I?  Not like he likes me anyway.  (JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE!)  How do I know you aren't just saying that so I'll stay away from your dear Peter Pan?  (JINGLE! JINGLE JINGLE!)  What he said outside...  You mean the "hurry back" thing?  No, it didn't mean anything.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  His eyes...?  (A LONG PAUSE)  (JINGLE JINGLE)  I'm sorry, you were saying?  (JINGLE!)  So his eyes are nice, what's the big deal?  (JINGLE JINGLE!)  The look he gave me?  (JINGLE JINGLE)  What do you mean that my head was too high in the clouds to notice?!  (JINGLE JINGLE)  All right, all right.  So maybe he does like me, but who says that I like him?  (JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE)  The "needing" comment?  Don't tell me you're on that, too...  Listen, it just had to be said so that Peter would take him in.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  You won't go get help until I admit it?!  (JINGLE)  Fine.  I do.  (JINGLE JINGLE!)  Yeah, all right!  I admit it!  (THE WATER LEVEL IS AT HER CHIN NOW.)  Tink, hurry up!  I won't be able to breathe in a little bit if this cave fills up, even if I do fly!

(TINKERBELL FLIES OUT OF THE CAVE.)

PETER:  How can you expect me to trust you when both of them are trapped in there now?
ANDREW:  Maybe she's having a hard time finding her.  They'll be all right, if I have any say in the matter.
PETER:  So now you're trying to go over your authority?
ANDREW:  No, I just mean--  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Tink!  (SHE FLIES OUT FROM THE WATERFALL)  See, I told you she'd be okay, Peter!  Where's Elizabeth?  (JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE)  Drowning?!  Peter, help me move these rocks!
PETER:  There you go again, trying to tell me what to do.
ANDREW:  Do you want her to live or die?  (JINGLE JINGLE)
PETER:  Oh, so now you're siding with the pirate, Tinkerbell?  (JINGLE JINGLE)  You're right.  We need Elizabeth just as much as Andrew...  Just as much as anyone else does.

(ONE BY ONE, THE BOULDERS ARE MOVED WITH THE HELP OF SOME PIXIE DUST PROVIDED BY TINKERBELL.  WATER BEGINS TO GO OVER THE SIDE AS THE ROCKS ARE TAKEN AWAY, BUT THE TOP OF THE CAVE IS NOT SEEN FOR A LONG WHILE.  FINALLY, THE WALL GIVES WAY AND COLLAPSES.  ELIZABETH IS LYING STILL ON THE CAVE FLOOR.  ANDREW RUSHES TO HER SIDE.)

ANDREW:  Peter, she's still breathing...  She'll live if we can get her to some shelter.  What's the nearest safe place we can get to?  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Then let's go!
PETER:  Tink!  You just wait one moment.  We can't let him go to the hideout!  He'll tell all of the pirates--  (JINGLE JINGLE!)  So, he really didn't want to be a pirate?  He really was the one you were bringing in the first place?  (JINGLE)  Still, I'm keeping an eye on you, Andrew.
ANDREW:  Finally, we make progress.  Calling me by my name instead of "pirate."
PETER:  That's enough.  Let's get her home.

(PETER AND TINKERBELL FLY AHEAD OF ANDREW, WHO IS CARRYING ELIZABETH)

HOOK:  Blast that Andrew and that girl!  All of you, to the ship!

PETER:  Boys, this is Andrew.  He says that we may be able to save mother if he does as he says, within reason, mind you.  This guy used to be a pirate, so watch your backs.

(TOOTLES RUNS BEHIND A TREE OUT OF FEAR.  PETER AND TINKERBELL FLY AWAY.)

SLIGHTLY:  A pirate?  Are you Hook's son?
ANDREW:  No.  Now all of you, listen to me.  (TO THE TWINS)  Go get all the blankets you can find.  Put them in two stacks, both with the same amount of blankets.  (THEY LEAVE, AND ANDREW TURNS TO SLIGHTLY)  Do you know how to build a fire?
SLIGHTLY:  Sure, no problem.  There's a fireplace just over there.
ANDREW:  Good.  Go get started.  (HE STARTS, AND ANDREW TURNS TO NIBS)  You go get a bucket and fill it with water.  When the fire is ready, boil the water.  That should just about cover it...

(TOOTLES COMES UP FROM BEHIND THE TREE AND TUGS ON ANDREW'S SHIRT.)

TOOTLES:  Is mother going to be all right?
ANDREW:  Oh, I almost forgot...  She'll be just fine if you do the most important job of all.
TOOTLES:  Really?  What's that?
ANDREW:  On my way over here, I saw some beautiful wildflowers.
TOOTLES:  The blue ones?
ANDREW:  No, the others...  The green right next to the blue.
TOOTLES:  Yeah, I know those.
ANDREW:  Go get a bunch of those and bring them here.
TOOTLES:  Are they for medicine?
ANDREW:  Kind of.  You see, mother will feel so much better when she wakes up and sees what a great job you did trying to make her feel comfortable and at home.
TOOTLES:  Really?  Thanks!  I'll be right back, Mr. Pirate, sir!

(TOOTLES RUNS OFF TO GET THE FLOWERS.  THE TWINS COME BACK WITH THE BLANKETS.)

ANDREW:  Good job, boys.  Set one of the piles right here...  (TWIN #1 DOES SO, AND ANDREW PLACES ELIZABETH ON THE BLANKETS)  And let me have all but one of those blankets that you have.  (TWIN #2 DOES SO, AND ANDREW COVERS HER UP.  HE SETS THE OTHER BLANKET BESIDE HIM.  IT IS VERY SMALL, OBVIOUSLY BELONGING TO THE YOUNGEST LOST BOY, TOOTLES.)  Is that water just about done, kids?

(SLIGHTLY AND NIBS BRING THE BUCKET OVER.)

NIBS:  It isn't quite boiling yet, but it's very warm.
ANDREW:  Actually, I think it's better if it wasn't boiling after all.  I hope the little one doesn't mind me using his blanket like this...  (HE PUTS THE BLANKET INTO THE WATER, RINGS IT OUT, AND FOLDS IT TO PUT ACROSS ELIZABETH'S FOREHEAD.)  This should keep her warm for a little while.  Where did Peter and Tink go?
SLIGHTLY:  I'm not sure.
ANDREW:  Well, can the four of you go look for them?  I need to ask them a few things.
TWINS:  Right away, Mr. Pirate!

(THE FOUR LOST BOYS LEAVE.)

ANDREW:  I sure hope this works.  She wasn't in there for too long...  (HE ADJUSTS THE CLOTH)  I didn't think it would take this long for her to wake up.  (HE NUDGES HER ARM, JUST BARELY, AND HER EYELIDS FLUTTER.)  Are you just sleeping, or are you really hurt?  (HE MOVES HER ARM EVEN MORE, AND SHE ROLLS OVER TO THE SIDE.)  And you had me so worried.  You're just resting now, aren't you?  (HE PICKS HER UP AND CRADLES HER IN HIS ARMS.)  Come on.  Let me see those emerald eyes of yours.  (SHE WAKES UP AND LOOKS AROUND, AS IF SHE DOES NOT KNOW WHERE SHE IS.)  It's okay.  You're home.
ELIZABETH:  Home...  With the Lost Boys...  How did I end up here?
ANDREW:  Peter trusted that I could help you.  I'm not sure where he is right now, but the Boys are looking for him and Tink right now.
ELIZABETH:  Peter actually trusted you?  Amazing.
ANDREW:  Shh...  Just relax for a little while.  Do you remember what happened to you?
ELIZABETH:  I remember hearing a loud rumble, then the cave went dark.  Tinkerbell came in...  She didn't tell you anything I said, did she?
ANDREW:  Why would she?
ELIZABETH:  Never mind.  She went back outside to...  Well, I guess to tell you I needed help.  The water kept rising, and I just gave up when there wasn't enough room for my head to fit between the top of the water and the roof of the cave.
ANDREW:  You gave up?  Why would you give up your life when you still have some sort of a chance?
ELIZABETH:  I...  I guess I had faith that you would find a way.
ANDREW:  Elizabeth, you can't...  Life isn't something that you should give away so easily.  Without you, I never would have been able to fly again.  (A QUIZZICAL LOOK FROM ELIZABETH)  I didn't mean to say that...  Guess there's no backing out of it now.  Elizabeth, you were the thing keeping me going on the Jolly Roger.  Just the thought of being with you made me fly into the air.  It was the greatest feeling in the world knowing you could be beside me if I could just fly with you.
ELIZABETH:  Really?  (HE NODS)  I'm really that important to you?  It's good to know...  At least I don't have to worry about my confession, then.
ANDREW:  A confession?
ELIZABETH:  Do you remember how high up the roof of that cave was?  (HE NODS)  When Tinkerbell came in, I was already waist deep in water.  I was so scared, Andrew.  You see, I can't swim very well, and if I have to, I can keep treading water for about a minute, then I get tired out.  It's just not something I do very well.  I usually stay in the calm, shallow part of the water when I swim in the lagoon.  She told me to fly to stay above water, and I knew I couldn't think of anything remotely good with all that happening to me until Tink reminded me of what you had done before I went back in to get my hat--  By the way, where is it?
ANDREW:  I didn't see it anywhere.  I'm sure you can get another one soon.  So, what did I do?
ELIZABETH:  You took my hands and said "Hurry back," and your eyes just captured me.  I've never seen eyes so dark...
ANDREW:  And that kept you afloat until you hit your head on the ceiling?
ELIZABETH:  Yes.  You kept me alive, too.

(THE TENDER MOMENT IS INTERRUPTED BY TOOTLES, WHO RUNS IN WITH THE FLOWERS.)

TOOTLES:  Here you go, Mr. Pirate!  I got a few of the green and a few of the blue.  I thought they looked good together.  (ELIZABETH LOOKS OVER ANDREW'S SHOULDER.)  Mother!  You're awake!  (HE RUNS TOWARD THEM.)  Here, mother.  These are for you.
ELIZABETH:  (TAKING THE FLOWERS)  Thank you, Tootles.  They're lovely.
TOOTLES:  (POINTING AT ANDREW)  It was his idea.
ELIZABETH:  Really?  Well, I must say that you both did a very good job.
ANDREW:  Tootles--  that's your name, right?  (TOOTLES NODS HAPPILY)  Yeah, why don't you go help the others look for Peter?
TOOTLES:  Okay.  Do you want more flowers?
ELIZABETH:  Why not?  Go on, now.
TOOTLES:  Okay, mother!  Bye, Mr. Pirate!
ANDREW:  Call me "Andrew," Tootles.
TOOTLES:  Yes, Mr. Andrew!

(TOOTLES GOES OUTSIDE.)

ANDREW:  Cute kid.
ELIZABETH:  Yeah, he's my favorite.  Tootles is the youngest one here, but somehow he's also the calmest.  Ah, who am I kidding?  He's the only one that's calm at all!
ANDREW:  (SMILING)  Those flowers match your eyes so well.
ELIZABETH:  Thank you...  They're very pretty.  (PAUSE)  I hope Peter doesn't banish you from the group.  I won't let him!  You're staying here with us.  Peter never was that good of a "father" around here, anyway.  I could always use more help around here.
ANDREW:  Why not?

(TOOTLES RUNS BACK IN THE ROOM)

TOOTLES:  I forgot...  Blue or green?
ELIZABETH AND ANDREW:  Both.  Take your time this time, okay?
TOOTLES:  Okay!

(TOOTLES RUNS OUT THE ROOM AGAIN, LEAVING ELIZABETH AND ANDREW SITTING IN FRONT OF THE FIRE.)

ELIZABETH:  He's such a cute kid.  It makes me wonder why in the world he would have left his family.

(A SCREAM IS HEARD OUTSIDE, FOLLOWED BY DRUMS AND INDIAN YELLS.  ELIZABETH STANDS UP TO GO TO THE DOOR, BUT LOSES HER FOOTING FROM BEING SO WEAK.  PETER, TINKERBELL, SLIGHTLY, THE TWINS, AND CURLY RUN THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR.)

PETER:  What have you guys done?!
ANDREW:  What have we done?
PETER:  So you're really with the Indians, Andrew?
ANDREW:  What are you talking about?
PETER:  Tootles was just carried off by them.  I can only assume that you planned it out.
ANDREW:  Why would I plan something like that?!
PETER:  I'm the one asking the questions here, pirate!
ELIZABETH:  Maybe it wasn't his fault, Peter.
PETER:  I knew it!  You're siding with the enemy!
ELIZABETH:  No, I'm not!  You want to help us out, don't you, Andrew?
ANDREW:  As long as it's all right with Peter.
PETER:  It's not all right!  Tootles is gone, and it's all his fault.
ANDREW:  Before you make any more assumptions, let's follow them back to their camp.  We'll find out who's really behind this there.
ELIZABETH:  I agree with Andrew.  (JINGLE JINGLE)
PETER:  Well, if Tink thinks so...
TWINS:  Let's go!
PETER:  Okay.  But if any kind of evidence points to Andrew, he's gone for good.  I'll send him back to the Jolly Roger where he came from.
ELIZABETH:  You don't know how much of a punishment that is, Peter
PETER:  Never mind that.  To the indian camp!

BLONDE FEATHER:  Let celebration of revenge begin!

(DRUMS SOUND AND EVERYONE, EXCEPT BLONDE FEATHER AND TOOTLES, STARTS DANCING.  THEY ARE SOON INTERRUPTED BY PETER'S CROW, WHICH BLONDE FEATHER SHIVERS AT.  PETER, TINKERBELL, THE LOST BOYS [EXCEPT TOOTLES], AND ANDREW FLY IN.  ANDREW CARRIES ELIZABETH, AS SHE IS STILL TOO WEAK TO FLY OR STAND.)

PETER:  Give Tootles back.
BLONDE FEATHER:  Why Blonde Feather give Lost Boy back to pirates?
PETER:  Pirates?  Oh, you mean Andrew.
BLONDE FEATHER:  You side with pirate.  Pirates take Tiger Lily.  We take Lost Boy.  Us even now!
PETER:  Side with pirates?  Me?  Why I side with pirate?  I mean, why would I side with a pirate?
BLONDE FEATHER:  (POINTING TO ANDREW)  New one.  He pirate.  No Lost Boy.
PETER:  Say the word, and my "alliance" with him is gone.
TOOTLES:  Peter, he's not a bad pirate!  (JINGLE JINGLE)
PETER:  Stay out of this!  Andrew, put Elizabeth down.
ANDREW:  Ma'am, I'm not a pirate any more--
BLONDE FEATHER:  If pirate stay, then Lost Boy stay.
ANDREW:  My name is--
BLONDE FEATHER:  Name not important.  You pirate.  You take Tiger Lily.
PETER:  Put her down, Andrew.
ELIZABETH:  Do I get any say in this at all?
BLONDE FEATHER:  New mother?
ELIZABETH:  Yes, I'm the new mother.  Andrew saved me from the pirates, and I helped him escape as well.  Please, you have to believe me when I say that he's not a bad person.
BLONDE FEATHER:  Once pirate, always pirate.
PETER:  As leader of the Lost Boys and friend to the indians, I order Andrew to immediately go back to the Jolly Roger.
TOOTLES:  No, don't let father go!
PETER:  Father?
TOOTLES:  Yeah!  Elizabeth's our mother, right?  (THE LOST BOYS AGREE)  So why shouldn't Andrew be our father?
ANDREW:  I wouldn't say that in front of--
PETER:  He already did.  I'm the father around here, not you.  (HE TAKES ELIZABETH FROM HIM.)  Go back to the pirates, where you belong.
ELIZABETH:  Peter, let me go!  Put me down this instant!
PETER:  You're better off with us.  Besides, Tootles is such a nice little boy.  You want him back, don't you?
ELIZABETH:  Please, you've got to let Andrew stay.  (JINGLE JINGLE)
PETER:  Enough.  (ANDREW RUNS AWAY WITHOUT A WORD.)  There.  He's gone.
ELIZABETH:  Peter, put me down, right now!  (HE DOESN'T BUDGE.)  This is an order from your mother, Peter.  Put me down!
PETER:  Fine.  (HE DROPS HER ONTO THE GROUND.)  Happy?
ELIZABETH:  I think so.  (SHE STRUGGLES TO HER FEET, THEN FLIES SHAKILY TO WHERE ANDREW RAN OFF TO.)  (JINGLE JINGLE)
PETER:  Oh well.  Guess we'll have to find another mother, eh boys?
TOOTLES:  You got what you wanted, Peter.  Untie me!  (A FEW INDIANS COME UP TO THE TOTEM POLE AND DO SO.)  I'll see you guys later.

(TOOTLES RUNS IN THE SAME DIRECTION.)

PETER:  Wait!  You can't do that!
BLONDE FEATHER:  As long as all here, big party start now!  (THE DRUMS START AGAIN.)  Peter, dance!
PETER:  You're right, Blonde Feather!  They can be traitors if they want to.  Let the party begin!

ANDREW:  It would be better if I just went home.  There's no way that I'm going back on that pirate ship.  (HE TRIES TO FLY, BUT HE FALLS.)  So going home isn't a happy thought.  But to the pirates again...?

(IN THE DISTANCE, ELIZABETH SHOUTS OVER TO ANDREW)
ELIZABETH:  Wait, please wait!
ANDREW:  Elizabeth?  What are you doing here?
ELIZABETH:  (LANDING CLUMSILY NEXT TO HIM)  I can't let you go back onto that ship alone.
ANDREW:  Who says I was going on the ship?  (HE LOOKS AT THE SKY AGAIN)  I might just go home.
ELIZABETH:  I saw you earlier.  You can't fly, can you?
ANDREW:  (PAUSE)  So I'm a little depressed.  Maybe there's just a little too much stress I'm going through at the moment.  I can fly myself back home just fine.  (HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR, FLOATS FOR A MOMENT, THEN LANDS FACE FIRST INTO THE SHALLOW OCEAN WATER.)  I'll be fine.  (TOOTLES, UNSEEN BY ELIZABETH AND ANDREW, RUNS INTO THE SCENE AND STOPS TO WATCH THEM.)  Go back to the Lost Boys.  They need you more than I do.
TOOTLES:  That's not true, and you know it.
ANDREW:  Tootles?
ELIZABETH:  What are you doing here?
TOOTLES:  If my mom and dad are going to be pirates, so am I.
ANDREW:  Trust me, you don't want to do this.
TOOTLES:  Yes, I do!  Peter doesn't care where we go.
ANDREW:  He cared enough to turn me away so you could come back.
TOOTLES:  He just used that as an excuse to get rid of you!  If he just knew what kind of a person you really were--
ANDREW:  I've made up my mind.  I'll work on the Jolly Roger until I can fly again.  I'll make my way home after that.
ELIZABETH:  Then so will I.
TOOTLES:  And I'm coming with you!
ELIZABETH:  No!
TOOTLES:  I'll help both of you with your chores.
ELIZABETH:  I said "no," Tootles.  And I mean it!
ANDREW:  Just go ahead and let him.  If he wants to leave, he can leave.
ELIZABETH:  All right.  But I just want you to know that, if we get caught letting you free, we'll all be in the deepest trouble imaginable.
TOOTLES:  Okay, I won't leave.
ANDREW:  Good luck, kid.

TOOTLES:  Mother!
ANDREW:  Shh!  They'll hear you!  (CECCO WAKES UP.)  Yeah.
CECCO:  Andrew!  What are you doing back here?!
ANDREW:  I...  (A VERY EVIL SMIRK COMES ACROSS HIS FACE.)  I brought prisoners to go with Tiger Lily!
CECCO:  I didn't know you had it in you, boy!  (CECCO RUNS TO THE SHIP'S BELL AND RINGS IT)  All awake!  All awake!  (THE PIRATES GRUMBLE AND RISE TO THEIR FEET AS HOOK WALKS OUT OF HIS CABIN, SMEE FOLLOWING HIM WITH A LIT CANDLE.)  Andrew's back!
HOOK:  Crawling back already?
ANDREW:  With prisoners!
HOOK:  I don't care if it was...  Did you say "prisoners?"
ANDREW:  Yes, sir!
TOOTLES:  He caught us fair and square, Mr. Hook, sir!  And look what happened to mother!  (HE POINTS TO ELIZABETH WHO IS STILL FAINTED ON THE GROUND.)  He said that we're to be servants, just like he was.
HOOK:  I have to hand it to you, boy, you've done something right.  (HOOK WALKS UP TO ELIZABETH AND HOOKS HER COLLAR.)  And this?  This took pure guts and gore!  I'd say you're on the right track to be as great a pirate as I am!
STARKY:  Maybe greater!
HOOK:  Starky!  (STARKY WHIMPERS)  You know that there could never be a better Captain than I!
STARKY:  Yes sir, Captain!  My apologies!
HOOK:  Andrew, first thing to do is throw them into the hold.
ANDREW:  All right.  (HE LIFTS ELIZABETH OVER HIS SHOULDER AND STARTS TO WALK DOWN THE STAIRS TO THE INTERIOR OF THE SHIP.  HOOK STOPS HIM.)  What's wrong, sir?
HOOK:  I'm putting you to a little test, Andrew.  Obviously, both of them can't fly right now, otherwise they would have done it by now, am I right?  (TOOTLES NODS.)  I told you to throw them into the hold.  So go on.  (HE LIFTS UP THE GRATING TO THE CARGO HOLD.)  Throw them in.
ANDREW:  That's barbaric!
HOOK:  And what are we?  Barbarians! Pirates!  Throw 'em in, or walk the plank!
ANDREW:  Yes, sir...  (HE LOOKS DOWN AND SEES THE PILLOW AND BLANKET IN THE HOLD.  HE THROWS ELIZABETH INTO THE HOLD, AND SHE LANDS SAFELY ON THE BLANKET.)  Come on, Tootles.  (HE WHISPERS TO HIM)  Try not to land on Elizabeth.  But land on something soft or your feet.  Or both, if you can.
TOOTLES:  Okay, dad.
ANDREW:  (IN THOUGHT:  He called me "dad"...)  In you go!  (HE TOSSES HIM IN, AND TOOTLES LANDS ON THE PILLOW.)  There you go, Hook!
HOOK:  And in you go!  (HE PUSHES ANDREW INTO THE DUNGEON.)  Ha!  You really thought I bought that?
ANDREW:  Hook!  What are you doing?!
HOOK:  What I should have done a long time ago.  You all walk the plank at dawn, and if you dare to try to fly away, any of you, we'll shoot you down!
TOOTLES:  Where's Tiger Lily?
HOOK:  The Indian Princess?  She's back at her camp where she belongs.  We returned her as soon as Tootles ran after you.  You should have been there to see the looks on everyone's faces when their party was interrupted by Tiger Lily.  Once everything was explained to her, the party went on even louder than before.  They don't care if you're gone.
ANDREW:  Just how did you know when everything was happening?
HOOK:  You might not have noticed, but we were spying on you for quite a long time.  Andrew, I never thought you would stoop so low as to fall in love with an enemy.
ANDREW:  She's not my enemy!
HOOK:  How about that first fight, eh?
ANDREW:  You made me do that, Hook!
HOOK:  I do not tolerate insubordination, boy!  (HE SHUTS THE GRATING)  You will walk the plank last, so that you can see your friends all drowned!  Everyone, back to sleep!

(HOOK AND SMEE GO BACK INTO THE CABIN, AND THE REST OF THE PIRATES CRAWL BACK TO THEIR CRANNIES ON THE SHIP.)

TOOTLES:  I'm sorry.
ANDREW:  What's there to be sorry about?
TOOTLES:  If I hadn't been kidnapped by the Indians in the first place, this wouldn't have happened.
ANDREW:  It's not your fault.  I should have never brought you into this.
TOOTLES:  Don't worry about it, dad.
ANDREW:  Why are you calling me "dad"?
TOOTLES:  Because, it just seems right to.
ANDREW:  If anyone should get that title, it's Peter Pan.  Not me.  What kind of a father would let his kid walk the plank?
TOOTLES:  If it's not my fault, it's not your fault, either.  I wanted to come with you.
ANDREW:  Thanks, kid.  (HE LOOKS AT ELIZABETH)  Poor girl.  I flew because of her, and I repay her with this.
TOOTLES:  I'm sure she knows you meant well.  (TOOTLES STANDS UP AND PUSHES THE PILLOW UNDERNEATH ELIZABETH'S HEAD.)  Don't worry about it.
ANDREW:  The law of the universe:  change doesn't.
TOOTLES:  What?
ANDREW:  I'd say that you'd understand when you're older, but...
TOOTLES:  We'll find a way out of this, dad.
ANDREW:  Don't.
TOOTLES:  What, dad?
ANDREW:  Don't call me that any more!  I told you, I don't deserve it!

(ELIZABETH BEGINS TO WAKE UP AT THE SOUND OF HIS SHOUTING)

TOOTLES:  Mother?  Are you okay?
ANDREW:  Oh no....
ELIZABETH:  Andrew, what's wrong?
ANDREW:  Look around.
ELIZABETH:  So we're in the dungeon again.
ANDREW:  And we're walking the plank at sunrise.
ELIZABETH:  So we'll fly away!  It's easy to do!
ANDREW:  They're making sure their guns and cannons are loaded.  We can't.  Even if I could fly, I'd still meet my end.
ELIZABETH:  Stop saying you can't fly.  It's like saying you don't believe in fairies.
ANDREW:  What's life without a few truths?
ELIZABETH:  That's enough.  If you keep on with this attitude, you'll never get through this.
TOOTLES:  What made you fly before?  Think of that!
ANDREW:  It's no use...
TOOTLES:  Just one more flight, da...  Andrew!
ELIZABETH:  What was that?
TOOTLES:  I was...  No, it's nothing.
ELIZABETH:  Come on, Andrew.  Remember what you said?  "Just the thought of being with you made me fly into the air.  It was the greatest feeling in the world knowing you could be beside me if I could just fly with you."
ANDREW:  It's no use.

SMEE:  Cap'n!  Five more hours until sunrise.
HOOK:  Yes, Smee.  I realize that.  No sign of Pan anywhere?
SMEE:  (WALKING UP TO HOOK)  No, sir.
HOOK:  (SNIFFING)  What is that?  (SNIFF)  Smee...  (SNIFF SNIFF)  Oh, that's revolting!
SMEE:  What, Cap'n?
HOOK:  That smell!  It's you!
SMEE:  Well, it's not like we've had someone to clean our clothes in the past couple days.
HOOK:  Yes, it was Andrew that always did that, wasn't it?
SMEE:  Yes, sir.
HOOK:  Do all of you smell that bad?
SMEE:  I've actually tried to clean mine a bit.
HOOK:  So, they're worse, eh?
SMEE:  Yes, Cap'n.
HOOK:  (SIGHS)  I suppose our plans for him will have to be changed a bit.

PETER:  All of you, settle down and go to sleep!
SLIGHTLY:  But that party was just so much fun, Peter!
TWINS:  We'll never go to sleep!
PETER:  Come on, boys!  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Even Tinkerbell's complaining!
NIBS:  Like that's anything new.  (JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE)  Aw, don't bother me with that.
CURLY:  Peter, where did mother go?
PETER:  If I wanted to make the best guess I could make, I'd say the Jolly Roger along with Andrew.
CURLY:  With the pirates?!
TWINS:  We've got to save her, Peter!
PETER:  She made her own choice.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  No, we can get these kids to sleep just as well as she could.  (JINGLE JINGLE JINGLE)  Because...  How should I know how to get them to sleep?!
SLIGHTLY:  I say that we go rescue mother.
PETER:  I forbid it.
TWIN1:  But why, Peter?
PETER:  If she comes back, you know that she'll bring that good-for-nothing pirate along with her.
CURLY:  How can you say that when he saved mother?
PETER:  It's just like Blonde Feather said.  "Once pirate, always pirate."  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Are you still going on with that story?  There's no possible way he would have fit with us as a Lost Boy.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  You wouldn't dare!  (TINKERBELL JINGLES A FEW MORE TIMES AS SHE FLIES FROM THE UNDERGROUND GROTTO.)  Oh well.  If she wants to be like that, she can.
TWIN2:  Poor Tinkerbell.
PETER:  A little less noise there.

HOOK:  Little Tootles, how are you doing this morning?  (TOOTLES GLARES BACK AT HIM.)  A bit of spunk there eh?  You would have made a fine pirate, me boy.  Unlike some people I know...  (HE WALKS TOWARD ANDREW.)  Some of them just never seem to reach past the bottom rung.  (ANDREW TURNS HIS FACE AWAY.)  Just so you'll know, I don't appreciate smarts.  And you, my dear...  (HE WALKS IN FRONT OF ELIZABETH.)  I must say that it took real guts to defy my so many times, and I don't see how your friends could have saved you from that water trap.
ELIZABETH:  You mean that it was your fault?
HOOK:  Who else would be able to concoct such a plan?  (HE RAISES HIS HOOKED HAND, AND THE PIRATES CHEER UNTIL HOOK SIGNALS FOR THEM TO STOP.)  Thank you.
ELIZABETH:  Just what kind of joy do you get out of this?
HOOK:  Plenty, my dear!  (ELIZABETH SPITS IN HIS FACE AGAIN.)  Thank you.  (HE WIPES HIS CHIN.)  Now, I have a little deal for the lot of you.  All of you can live for a little while longer, say about a few years, if you become slaves on my ship.
ANDREW:  In other words, I go back to my normal job?
HOOK:  Along with Elizabeth.  Tootles will become my apprentice.
TOOTLES:  What's an apprentice?
HOOK:  You'll learn how to lead a group of buccaneers like these...  (HE SHOWCASES THE CREW)  Among other things that a captain must know to be captain!
TOOTLES:  Hey, sounds swell to me!
ELIZABETH:  Tootles!
ANDREW:  We agree.
ELIZABETH:  Andrew?!
ANDREW:  A year or two in Neverland is a very long while compared to a year or two back home.  I say live while you can.  (HE NUDGES ELIZABETH.)  We'll stay.
ELIZABETH:  I suppose I'll stay, if Andrew and Tootles are.
HOOK:  Well then!  Smee!
SMEE:  Yes, Cap'n?
HOOK:  Get these two into some new clothes.
SMEE:  New clothes, Cap'n?
HOOK:  New to them, Smee.
SMEE:  Righto!  (HE UNTIES ELIZABETH AND TOOTLES'S BONDS AND LEADS THEM INTO HOOK'S CABIN.)
HOOK:  Very intelligent decision, Andrew.  You may even get promoted after a while, as long as you can keep that girl up to snuff with her chores.  And I'll have Jukes watch her as well, just in case you two get any ideas.
ANDREW:  Ideas, sir?
HOOK:  Of escaping, Andrew.
ANDREW:  (BLUSHING)  Oh, yeah...  Escaping...  No, we'd never consider it, sir!

TOOTLES:  (PULLING OUT A RED CLOAK AND BLACK SUIT)  Whoa!  Cool!  Does this look like something a captain would wear, Mr. Smee?
SMEE:  Very good, son!  Now, look for some good shoes in there, too.
ELIZABETH:  (PULLING OUT A LONG, FRILLY SKIRT)  Smee?
SMEE:  Ah, that would look ravishing on you!
ELIZABETH:  That's not what I'm asking.  One:  I don't wear skirts because of modesty and movement restrictions.  Two:  Just what is this doing in Hook's wardrobe?
SMEE:  That's none of your business!  (HE SNATCHES THE SKIRT OUT OF HER HANDS.)  The Captain's past is for him to know.
ELIZABETH:  Fine.  (SHE FINDS SOME DARK PURPLE LONG PANTS AND A YELLOW TANK TOP.)  This looks pretty good, I think.
SMEE:  Are you sure?  They look a little small.
ELIZABETH:  (PULLING AT HER OWN CLOTHES)  These things conceal a lot, okay?
SMEE:  All right.  Fine.  Find some shoes in there.
TOOTLES:  I found mine!  (HE SHOWS SMEE SOME BLACK, LOW HEELED SHOES WITH GOLDEN BUCKLES.)  How's this?
SMEE:  Perfect!
ELIZABETH:  Two more questions, if you don't mind.
SMEE:  Go right on ahead.
ELIZABETH:  (PULLING OUT A PAIR OF BLACK SPIKED HEELS)  Can I use these?
SMEE:  (EYES WIDE)  S-sure...  If you don't think it'll be too distracting to certain pirates...
ELIZABETH:  Oh, please.  One more thing...  What were they doing in the Captain's wardrobe?!

HOOK:  Really, I'm proud that you came back to us.  Tell me, did Pan kick you out?
ANDREW:  Yes, he did.  Somehow, he still thought that I seemed too much like a pirate to be in his clan.
HOOK:  A shame, a shame.  But there must be something about you that just can't be changed!  You must have been born to be a pirate, Andrew!  Do you know what that means?
ANDREW:  I'll be promoted sooner than what you thought?
HOOK:  Not at all, boy!  On the contrary, you'll be slower to be promoted.
ANDREW:  Begging the Captain's pardon, but why?
HOOK:  I couldn't have you taking over my position, now could I?
ANDREW:  I see your point, sir.  (HE LEANS OVER THE SIDE OF THE SHIP, LOOKING DOWN AT THE WATER.)  Good current for washing clothes today.

(SMEE OPENS THE CABIN DOOR, AND TOOTLES WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM.  HOOK GASPS AT HIS COSTUME.)

HOOK:  Another natural pirate!  My dear child, you look wonderful!
TOOTLES:  Do I look like a captain?
HOOK:  Yes, indeed you do!  But it takes more than looks to be Captain of the Jolly Roger!
TOOTLES:  I'll try my best, sir!
HOOK:  Smee, where's the girl?
ELIZABETH'S VOICE:  Just a second, Captain!
HOOK:  Hurry it along, dear.  Even if I live in Neverland, I don't have eternity.
ELIZABETH:  Okay, I'm ready.  (SHE WALKS THROUGH WITH HER NEW OUTFIT, WHICH MAKES HER LOOK QUITE A BIT MORE FEMININE AND SLENDER.  ANDREW CHOKES.)  It looks bad, doesn't it?
ANDREW:  No, not at all!  Just...  it may be a little distracting for some of those other pirates, you know?
HOOK:  Sure.  The other pirates.
ANDREW:  Keep it.  Looks real good.  Excuse me.  Gonna get the laundry.  Bye.

(HE GOES DOWN INTO THE SHIP.  TOOTLES LAUGHS.)

TOOTLES:  I think Daddy likes it.

ANDREW:  Hey, Jukes, could you take my place for a second?  I've got to go ask the captain what he wants for dinner tonight.
JUKES:  Sure thing, Andrew.  I'll keep a sharp eye on 'er.
ANDREW:  Thanks.

(ANDREW WALKS INTO THE CAPTAIN'S CABIN.  ELIZABETH CONTINUES TO SCRUB, NOT NOTICING THAT JUKES IS NOW WATCHING HER WITH AN EAGLE EYE.  SHE TAKES A MOMENT TO STAND, STRETCH, AND YAWN.  JUKES SEES THIS, AND HE TAKES HER LEFT WRIST AND TWISTS HER ARM BEHIND HER BACK.  HE THROWS HER ONTO THE DECK, KNOCKING OVER THE PAIL OF WATER.)

JUKES:  And just what do you think you're doing?
ELIZABETH:  (GASPING)  I'm...  sorry....
JUKES:  Sorry ain't cuttin' it!  (HE PULLS HER ARM BACK EVEN MORE.)  You don't take any breaks on my shift, newbie!
ELIZABETH:  It won't happen...  again...
JUKES:  It shouldn't 'ave happened in the first place!

(ANDREW WALKS OUT OF THE CABIN AND CLOSES THE DOOR BEHIND HIM.)

ANDREW:  Looks like frogmore stew's on the menu-- (HE SEES JUKES HURTING ELIZABETH.)  Jukes!  What in heck are you doing?!
JUKES:  She wasn't following orders!
ANDREW:  And just what did she do to deserve this?
JUKES:  Slacking off!
ANDREW:  I'll talk with her.  Let her go.
JUKES:  All right...  (HE PULLS BACK ON HER ARM ONE MORE TIME, AND A LOUD POP IS HEARD.  ELIZABETH GRIMACES, BUT DOESN'T SAY A WORD.)  Fix her arm within ten minutes, or else I'll fetch the Cap'n.

(JUKES CLIMBS INTO THE CROW'S NEST AND PICKS UP HIS TELESCOPE.)

ANDREW:  Are you still awake?
ELIZABETH:  Yeah, no knockouts, unfortunately.
ANDREW:  Unfortunately?
ELIZABETH:  Uh-huh.  That way I couldn't feel my arm right now.
ANDREW:  Poor kid.  (HE GENTLY HELPS HER TO SIT UP.)  Now, this may hurt just a little.  (HE TAKES HER UPPER ARM AND POPS THE JOINT BACK INTO PLACE.)  Is that better?
ELIZABETH:  (SOBBING)  I guess so.
ANDREW:  You're crying.
ELIZABETH:  No, I'm not.
ANDREW:  Yes you are!  I can see you!
ELIZABETH:  No, I'm strong...  I don't cry!
ANDREW:  If you've got any sort of human sense in you at all, you would cry with your arm like this!
ELIZABETH:  It's not my arm.
ANDREW:  What is it then?
ELIZABETH:  Tootles.  (SHE LOOKS OVER AT THE CAPTAIN'S CABIN, WHERE TOOTLES CAN BE SEEN LAUGHING AND PLAYING CHESS WITH HOOK.)  Look at him.  He's so happy with Hook.  How can that be?
ANDREW:  At least he's happy.
ELIZABETH:  Checkmate.
ANDREW:  Really?  Hook beat him, huh?
ELIZABETH:  No.  Tootles is getting better.
ANDREW:  Wow.
ELIZABETH:  I never thought of him as a person who would change so easily.

(JUKES CLIMBS DOWN THE CROW'S NEST AND STANDS IN FRONT OF ELIZABETH AND ANDREW.)

JUKES:  She's fixed, I see.
ANDREW:  Yes, sir.
JUKES:  Then set her back to work!
ANDREW:  Her ten minutes isn't--
JUKES:  I'm reporting you to the captain.

(JUKES GOES INTO THE CAPTAIN'S CHAMBERS.)

ELIZABETH:  Here we go.
ANDREW:  What?
ELIZABETH:  It's the plank.  I just know it.
ANDREW:  Don't be so pessimistic.
ELIZABETH:  With the way our lives have been going, how can I not?
ANDREW:  You're starting to sound like I used to.  Let me tell you something, Elizabeth.  It's not the best thing in the world to be so down all the time.  I'm very confident that something will get us out of this.  (ELIZABETH DOES NOT ANSWER.)  What ever happened to that caring mother I knew?  Or the girl who danced in the waterfall?  And I also seem to remember that there was a wonderful woman who taught me how to fly.  (ELIZABETH LOOKS AT HIM, A STRAY TEAR THE ONLY MOVEMENT ON HER FACE.)  Oh, look!  I think she just might be running back.
ELIZABETH:  (A SLIGHT SMILE CROSSES HER FACE)  When you're right, you're right.  (SHE WIPES THE TEAR OFF AND STANDS UP.)  It couldn't be too bad of a punishment.

(HOOK, TOOTLES, SMEE, AND JUKES WALK OUT THE CABIN.)

HOOK:  Well, this is your chance to show your loyalty to the Jolly Roger, my boy!  Decide what to do with them.
TOOTLES:  (AFTER THINKING FOR A MOMENT)  Aye aye!  (HE WALKS OVER TO ELIZABETH AND LOOKS DIRECTLY INTO HER EYES.)  Resting in the middle of the day?  How dare you!  No rations for you tonight.  (HE WALKS UP TO ANDREW, NOT LOOKING AT HIM.)  As for you, you've shown a new talent!  Congratulations.  For that, you will get double rations for dinner tonight.  (KNOWING THAT NO OTHER PIRATES WILL NOTICE, HE FLASHES A WINK AT BOTH ELIZABETH AND ANDREW.)  How's that, Captain?
HOOK:  Bravo, Tootles!  Bravo!  I couldn't have done better, except the plank, of course.  Tell me, why did you not send them to the plank as I would have?
TOOTLES:  Well, we would be a few hands short on the ship, if that happened.  With Elizabeth gone, Andrew would have surely stopped working as well.
HOOK:  Good form!  Now, all of you, back to work!  Especially you, miss.
ELIZABETH:  Yes, sir, Captain.

ELIZABETH:  (GROANING)  Sunrise already?  (HER EYES OPEN)  Tinkerbell!  (JINGLE JINGLE)  I'm so glad to see you, Tink!  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Yeah, everyone's asleep.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  We're doing all right, I guess.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Yes, we're still....  Why are you being so nosy about that?  (JINGLE JINGLE)  No, I don't mind.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Hook's trying to brainwash Tootles, it looks like.  I don't think it's working too well, though.  Just today, I got in trouble for yawning-- (JINGLE!) yeah, I know, yawning-- and Hook put him in charge of the "punishment" for my "misdeed."  He said that Andrew did so well in fixing my arm-- (JINGLE!) Jukes decided to bend it in the wrong direction-- that he got double rations, and I shouldn't get any.  Right after he winked at us, I realized he wanted us to just split Andrew's for a normal meal.  (JINGLE JINGLE!)  Yeah, he's still on our side.

(ANDREW WAKES UP, AND TINK HIDES BEHIND ELIZABETH)

ANDREW:  Talking in your sleep again?
ELIZABETH:  No.  Don't worry, he's on our side.
ANDREW:  Ah, she is.
ELIZABETH:  No, I'm not.  Tinkerbell's here to visit us.
ANDREW:  Tink?  (HE LOOKS OVER AND SEES HER)  Is Peter here with you?  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Not even trying?  That's horrible!
ELIZABETH:  I can't believe he'd do something like this.
ANDREW:  Somehow, I can.
ELIZABETH:  From your point of view, I guess you could.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Right.  Go ahead before someone catches you.  Tell the Boys I said hello for me!
ANDREW:  That goes double for me!  (TINKERBELL MAKES A FEW LAST JINGLES BEFORE FLYING BACK TO THE UNDERGROUND GROTTO)  So, we're pretty much stuck here?
ELIZABETH:  Guess so.  (PAUSE)  You never told me exactly why you left to come to Neverland.
ANDREW:  Well, it's a long story.
ELIZABETH:  Go ahead.  There's at least one more hour before sunrise.
ANDREW:  Okay.  (A LONG PAUSE)  I think it all started...  (ANOTHER LONG PAUSE)  No, that's not right.
ELIZABETH:  Can't you remember?
ANDREW:  N...  No, I can't seem to at all.
ELIZABETH:  Do you remember what your home was like at all?
ANDREW:  No idea whatsoever.
ELIZABETH:  You've been here for way too long.
ANDREW:  I know.  What about you?
ELIZABETH:  I can't remember, either.  I forgot a long time ago.
ANDREW:  That's why you can't get home?
ELIZABETH:  Uh-huh.  I can't remember anything about my home, except I live somewhere on Earth.
ANDREW:  I remember, I was in the United States, I think.
ELIZABETH:  That sounds vaguely familiar.  Anything else?
ANDREW:  Nothing.  Not even how old I am.
ELIZABETH:  That disappeared all too long ago.  Guess it doesn't matter in a land of eternity.

PETER:  Not now, Tink...  (JINGLE JINGLE)  How many times have I told you that I don't care what they're doing?  (JINGLE JINGLE)  I don't care about Tootles.  He can be a pirate if he wants to.

(THE LOST BOYS AWAKEN.)

NIBS:  What?  What happened to Tootles?
TWINS:  He's a pirate?
SLIGHTLY:  Like Mr. Andrew was!
PETER:  Yes, like Andrew.  You know, the one responsible for Tootles's kidnapping.
CURLY:  Then why did he join the pirates?
PETER:  I don't know.  He was probably forced to!  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Chose to?  Well, good riddance to him!
CURLY:  I sure do miss him.
PETER:  Don't start in with that.
TWINS:  Can we get him back?
PETER:  No, we're not going to try to get Tootles back here.
TWINS:  Not Tootles!
TWIN1:  We mean Andrew.
PETER:  No!  Above everything in Neverland, NO!
TWIN2:  But he took care of mother when she was hurt.
PETER:  And then took her away from us.  (JINGLE JINGLE)  Since when do you side with them, anyway?  (A VERY LONG-WINDED JINGLE)  We're not going to get them back, and that's that.

(PETER FLIES TO A HIGH SHELF IN THE ROOM.  THE LOST BOYS WATCH AS HE PEEKS THROUGH A WINDOW LOOKING OUTSIDE OF THE GROTTO.  HE SEEMS TO BE IN DEEP THOUGHT.)

HOOK:  You're all probably wondering why I brought you here today.  I was hoping it wouldn't come to this.  (HE STANDS AND WALKS IN FRONT OF ANDREW.)  Andrew, what good have you done here over the past few weeks?
ANDREW:  I have aided in chores and overseeing the ship's crew.
HOOK:  Very good.  But is it enough to stay aboard?
ANDREW:  I certainly hope so, Captain.
HOOK:  (HE WALKS TO TOOTLES)  Tootles, how about you?
TOOTLES:  I have become a faithful follower and disciplinarian at your side, Captain.
HOOK:  Nothing further is needed from you, my boy.  You've been a very good pirate.
TOOTLES:  Thank you, sir!
HOOK:  Miss Elizabeth.  What have you been doing these past few days?
ELIZABETH:  Working at my full potential, sir.
HOOK:  That's odd, considering that the clothes have been washed very shabbily lately.
ELIZABETH:  Begging the Captain's pardon, but my arm was injured yesterday, and I haven't been able to use it very well since then.
HOOK:  Is that your only excuse?
ELIZABETH:  Yes, sir.
HOOK:  (HE SLOWLY WALKS TO HER AND BRANDISHES THE HOOK)  I'm afraid it isn't good enough.  Smee, the ropes.  (ELIZABETH IS FROZEN, TOO SCARED TO REALLY MOVE.  SMEE WALKS FORWARD AND HASTILY FASTENS THE ROPES TO ELIZABETH'S WRISTS, BINDING THEM BEHIND HER BACK.)  Ready to meet the crocodile, dear?  You know, tick tock tick tock tick...
ANDREW:  Hook, you can't do that!
HOOK:  Oh, but I can, my dear boy!
ANDREW:  You have to admit, sir, she is the best hand you've had on this ship.
TOOTLES:  Yes, she is quite good, sir.
HOOK:  And just who's side are you on?
TOOTLES:  I'm sorry.  I just thought that it's just a little hasty coming from the mind of a captain.
HOOK:  You're right, Tootles.  (HE SIGHS)  I have been a little strict when it comes to these sort of things all my life.  But as my dear shipmate Andrew says, change doesn't.
TOOTLES:  So....
HOOK:  She's walking the plank.
TOOTLES:  (EXCITED)  I get it now!  (HE GRIMACES.)  Ooh...  I get it now.
ELIZABETH:  It's all right, Tootles.  Mommy's going to be just fine.
TOOTLES:  You know I don't believe that!  Don't lie!
ELIZABETH:  I'm sorry.

(SMEE JERKS ELIZABETH TO THE SIDE, LEADING HER TO THE PLANK.)

ANDREW:  (TO HOOK)  Please, sir!  Reconsider!
HOOK:  Well, I would consider reconsidering, but considering the fact that you called me "Hook" a few minutes ago, I've made a strong consideration to not reconsider her punishment.
ANDREW:  But sir, you're punishing me as well!
HOOK:  And?
ANDREW:  And little Tootles...  He won't have a mother figure to watch over him.
HOOK:  I grew up without my mum, and look how I turned out!
TOOTLES:  You know, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to keep her on the ship, then.
HOOK:  Stop that gab!  Smee!
SMEE:  Yes, Cap'n?
HOOK:  Throw 'er in!
SMEE:  Yes, Cap'n!  In you go, Miss Elizabeth!

(SMEE PUSHES ELIZABETH INTO THE WATER.  ANDREW RUSHES TO THE SIDE OF THE SHIP TO ONLY SEE ELIZABETH DROWNING.)

ANDREW:  Hold on, Elizabeth!  (HE JUMPS OVER THE SIDE OF THE SHIP JUST AS SHE GIVES UP TRYING TO TREAD WATER AND SINKS.)  Hold on, just a little longer!

(ANDREW TAKES A DEEP BREATH AND DIPS INTO THE WATER.)

SMEE:  Cap'n, take a look at this!
HOOK:  I figured this would happen.  Now, any moment, that crocodile should come and take away our little trouble makers.
TOOTLES:  Poor mom and dada...
HOOK:  Mom and dad?!  Boy, don't try my patience with that rot!  Would you like to join them?!
TOOTLES:  No, sir.
HOOK:  That's what I thought.

(ANDREW SURFACES WITH ELIZABETH IN HIS ARMS.  SHE LOOKS LIFELESS.)

TOOTLES:  Mom!  Dad!
HOOK:  That's enough!
ANDREW:  Tootles, stay on the ship!  We'll figure out something!

(ANDREW STARTS TO SWIM TOWARD THE SHORELINE)

HOOK:  Stop right there!  Men, stop them!  (THE PIRATES START SHOOTING RIFLES AND CANNONS AT THEM, BUT ALL OF THE SHOTS EITHER MISFIRE OR MISS COMPLETELY.  THE SHIP GOES SILENT AFTER A MINUTES OF CHAOS.)  What's wrong?
JUKES:  Out of ammo.
HOOK:  Darn it!  Andrew!  Get back over here!
ANDREW:  (FROM THE SHORELINE, WHICH HE'S BEEN ABLE TO SWIM TO WITH THE TIME HE HAD WHILE THE OTHERS WERE SHOOTING)  Fat chance!  (HE SWINGS ELIZABETH OVER HIS SHOULDERS)  See you 'round, Hook, if I'm feeling like I need to ruin my life any time soon!
HOOK:  Blast it!  (ANDREW RUNS INTO THE WOODS)  Blast it blast it blast it!  Why didn't the crocodile eat them?!
SMEE:  (FEARFULLY)  Um...  Cap'n.....
HOOK:  What is it, Smee?!  (HE TURNS AROUND TO LOOK AT HIM, AND TWO ROWS OF BIG CROCODILE TEETH GREET HIM.)  Oh...  That's why....  SMEE SAVE ME!!!

TIGER LILY:  What pirate doing at camp?
ANDREW:  No pirate!  Ally of Peter Pan!
TIGER LILY:  Not last time we checked.
ANDREW:  You've got to believe me....  (TIGER LILY SPOTS ELIZABETH AND RUNS UP TO HIM, LIFTING HER OFF HIS SHOULDERS.)  So you do believe me!
TIGER LILY:  No, just worry about Mother.
ANDREW:  I am, too... Tiger Lily, right?
TIGER LILY:  Yes.  Mother very important to tribe.
ANDREW:  Yes, she is to me, too.
TIGER LILY:  Fetch Blonde Feather.
ANDREW:  Her?!  But she hates me!
TIGER LILY:  She worry about Mother for many moons.  She medicine woman.  Help Mother.
ANDREW:  Really?  But aren't you afraid that she'll...
TIGER LILY:  No worry.  I can tell you good person.  Pirate would never bring back Mother in one piece.
ANDREW:  (SMILING)  Thank you.

(HE RUNS TO BLONDE FEATHER'S HUT.  ELIZABETH COUGHS, AND TIGER LILY PULLS A BEAR SKIN OVER HER)

ELIZABETH:  Tiger....  Lily....
TIGER LILY:  Shh.  You fine now.  Pirate bring you to camp, and Blonde Feather will tend to wounds.
ELIZABETH:  Pirate....  Wait, where's Andrew...
TIGER LILY:  He get Blonde Feather.

(BLONDE FEATHER RUNS OUT OF THE HUT IN FEAR, THEN SEES ELIZABETH)

BLONDE FEATHER:  Oh.  Pirate tell truth?
ANDREW:  (OUT OF BREATH)  YES, PIRATE TELL TRUTH!  (HE ALMOST COLLAPSES)  Geez, who knew Indians could run that fast?!
BLONDE FEATHER:  Blonde Feather apologize.  Mother, what happen?
ELIZABETH:  He made me walk the plank.
BLONDE FEATHER:  This pirate?
ELIZABETH:  No!  He'd never do that!
BLONDE FEATHER:  Hook?
ANDREW:  Who else?
BLONDE FEATHER:  And pirate save Mother.  Blonde Feather is confused.
ELIZABETH:  Tootles is still on the ship?
ANDREW:  I'm afraid so.
ELIZABETH:  We've got to get him out of there.  He could have been thrown in for all we know!
TIGER LILY:  Mother right.  We call Lost Boys to battle!  Fight to end!
ELIZABETH:  Let me up.
TIGER LILY:  You not better yet.
ELIZABETH:  Really, I'm fine.  (SHE STRAINS TO STAND, GETS TO HER FEET, THEN ALMOST LOSES HER BALANCE EXCEPT THAT ANDREW CATCHES HER IN TIME)  Let me go, Andrew.
ANDREW:  You'll only end up hurting yourself.
ELIZABETH:  You've all been trying to save me through this whole ordeal.  Ever since I got to Neverland, all I've been is a troublesome girl who needs to be saved every two seconds.  (SHE SQUIRMS AWAY FROM HIS GRASP AND STAGGERS.  SHE IS BARELY ABLE TO HOLD HERSELF UP.)  All of you can come with me if you'd like
