Peter Pan 1953 Aired on ABC (August 2002) Part 1


 * Chorus: The second star to the right shines in the night for you, to warn you that the dreams you plan really can come true. The second star to the right shines with a light that's rare, and if it's Never Land you need its light will lead you there.
 * Woman: Twinkle, twinkle, little star, where we'll know who you are. Gleaming in the heavens above, lead us to the land we dream of.
 * Chorus: And if our journey is through, each time we say good night. We'll thank the little star that shines the second from the right.
 * Narrator: All this has happened before, and it will all happen again. But this time, it happened in London. It happened on a silent street in Bloomsbury. That corner house over there is the home of the Darling family and Peter Pan chose this particular house because there were people here who believed in him. There was Mrs. Darling.
 * Mrs. Darling: (Humming) George, darling, do hurry. We mustn't be late for the feast, you know.
 * Narrator: Mrs. Darling believed that Peter Pan was the spirit of youth, but Mr. Darling.....
 * Mr. Darling: Mary, unless I find my cuff links, we don't go to the feast. And if we don't go to the feast, I can never show my face in the office again. And if I can never show-- (moans)
 * Narrator: Well, Mr. Darling is a practical man. The boys, however, John and Michael, believed that Peter Pan was a real person and made him the hero of all their nursery games.
 * John: Blast you, Peter Pan!
 * Michael: Take that! Give up, Captain Hook? Give up!
 * John: Never! I'll teach you to cut off me hand!
 * Wendy: (chuckling) Oh, dear, John. It was the left hand.
 * John: Oh, yes. Thank you, Wendy.
 * Narrator: Wendy, the eldest, not only that believed, she was the supreme authority on Peter Pan and all his marvelous adventures.
 * Wendy: Oh, Nana, must we always take that nasty tonic?
 * Narrator: Nana, the nursemaid, being a dog kept her opinions to herself and viewed the entire affair with a certain tolerance.
