Scene 10 Flashcards
“The Wasp? After us? Better tell Slank!”
“Backstroke is my event, and I do so like to finish first. I win more medals at school than anyone, except for Daphne Cooper—but Daphne Cooper’s a swot.
Deep breaths. There we go.”
“You saved my life.”
“Of course.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m the leader.”
“But you don’t even like me.”
“The leader can’t go about saving only the people she likes.”
“The leader has to be a boy.”
“Only if the boy knows there’s more important things in this world than saving his own neck.”
“Like what?”
“Like saving someone else’s.”
“Slank!”
“We need the Wasp to catch up to us quick!”
“STRAIGHT FOR THE WASP!”
(Regular accent) “Wind 47 knots!
GALE WARNING!”
“Strong gale, rolling seas, blowing spray!”
(Regular accent) “The Neverland crashes into the waves!”
“Neverland, HO! Victory is OURS! Well, MINE!”
(regular accent) “Wind 63 KNOTS: HURRICANO! VIOLENT STORM! VISIBILITY GONE! WHOLE WAVES! BLACK SKIES! RED OVER WHITE OVER RED!”
“That’s 200 miles—Everybody!”
(regular accent) “THAT’S 200 MILES PER HOUR! LARGE WAVES OVER 50 FEET! DISASTER! DESTRUCTION! DEVASTATION!”
(British) “You! Boy! You turned us around so the Wasp could catch us!”
“Pretty cheeky, huh?”
“Pretty cheeky.”
“Good move, ace.”
“He did something big, Prentiss.”
“Well, I’m still the leader.”
“Then help me get the trunk out of Slank’s cabin and onto the Wasp!”
“Sorry, not our issue.”
“Never mind, I’ll do it myself. Mrs. Bumbrake! Mrs. Bumbrake!”
“Main-brace’s gone!”
“We’re saving the trunk, and that’s all there is to it!”
“My white knight!!”
“Now, let’s get moving!”
“Molly, I’m locked in the broom cabin!”
“DADDY, THE TRUNK IS OURS!”
“Save yerself!”
“Help, Boy! I need more time to get the Queen’s trunk to my father!”
“Not again!”
“Not again! The boy’s gone overboard!!”
“Help! I can’t swim!”
“But Daddy, the boy needs help!”
“BRING THE TRUNK TO ME!”
“This trunk floats, Boy!”
“My name’s Peter!”
“Peter! I like it!”
“Me too!”
“There’s an island, Peter! Ride the trunk to the island!”
“Follow that trunk, Smee! Get me to that island!”
“Get to the island, Peter! And don’t let that trunk out of your sight!!”
