Finding Neverland

You see, Wendy, when the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about and that was the beginning of fairies.

— Fine then. Turn him into a bear. If you can.
— Peter, where are your manner With those eyes, my bonny lad, I'm afraid you'd never see it.

— What precisely is Michael's crime?
— He's my younger brother.
