MAGGIE: "...Mommy reads to us every night because she loves us!"
CAPTAIN HOOK: "No child. I think your mother reads to you every night in order to stupefy you to sleep. So that she and Daddy can sit down together for three measly minutes without you and your mindless, inexhaustible, unstoppable, repetitive and nagging demands: He took my toy. She hid my bear. I want to potty. I want a cookie. I want to stay up. I want. I want. I want. Me. Me. Me. My. My. Mine. Mine. Now. Now. Now...
Can't you understand child? They tell you stories to shut you up."
SMEE: "And conk you out."
MAGGIE: "...You're a liar!"
CAPTAIN HOOK: "Lie? Me? Ha ha! Never. The truth is far to much fun!
My child. Before you were born, your parents would stay up all night together just to see the sun rise. Don't be afraid. Maggie, before you were born, they were happier. They were free."
MAGGIE: "You're a bad man."
CAPTAIN HOOK: "Smee. Flunk for Maggie."
