Something wrong with the clip?

Quote

J.M. Barrie: It seems to me that Peter's trying to grow up too fast. I imagine he thinks that grown-ups don't hurt as deeply as children do when they... when they lose someone. I lost my older brother David when I was just Peter's age, and it nearly destroyed my mother. Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: James, I'm so sorry. Your poor mother. I can't imagine losing a child. J.M. Barrie: She didn't get out of bed for months, she wouldn't eat. I tried everything to make her happy but she only wanted David. So one day I dressed myself in David's clothing and I went to her. Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: You must have frightened her to death. J.M. Barrie: I think it was the first time she ever actually looked at me, and that was the end of the boy James. I used to say to myself he'd gone to Neverland. Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: Where? J.M. Barrie: Neverland. It's a wonderful place... I've not spoken about this before to anyone- ever. Sylvia Llewelyn Davies: What's it like, Neverland? J.M. Barrie: One day I'll take you there.

It seems to me that Peter's trying to grow up too fast.
00:00:09.002 --> 00:00:14.678
I imagine he thinks that grown-ups don't hurt as deeply as children do when they...
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:17.001
when they lose someone.
00:00:20.999 --> 00:00:24.855
I lost my elder brother, David, when I was just Peter's age.
00:00:25.998 --> 00:00:27.983
And it nearly destroyed my mother.
00:00:28.526 --> 00:00:31.487
James, I'm so sorry.
00:00:32.053 --> 00:00:36.367
Your poor mother. I can't imagine losing a child.
00:00:36.534 --> 00:00:38.452
Aye.
00:00:39.495 --> 00:00:41.872
She didn't get out of bed for months.
00:00:42.206 --> 00:00:44.583
She wouldn't eat.
00:00:44.834 --> 00:00:47.962
I tried everything to make her happy, but...
00:00:49.296 --> 00:00:51.674
she only wanted David.
00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:53.384
So...
00:00:53.509 --> 00:00:55.553
one day...
00:00:56.595 --> 00:00:59.682
I dressed myself in David's clothing
00:01:02.101 --> 00:01:04.001
and I went to her.
00:01:04.052 --> 00:01:07.069
You must have frightened her to death.
00:01:07.898 --> 00:01:13.654
I think it was the first time she ever actually... looked at me.
00:01:18.325 --> 00:01:21.037
And that was the end of the boy James.
00:01:23.831 --> 00:01:26.667
I used to say to myself he'd gone to Neverland.
00:01:26.709 --> 00:01:28.753
Where?
00:01:28.794 --> 00:01:32.381
Neverland. It's a wonderful place.
00:01:42.001 --> 00:01:45.001
I've not spoken about this before to anyone.
00:01:46.312 --> 00:01:48.999
Ever.
00:01:58.999 --> 00:02:02.003
What's it like... Neverland?
00:02:04.083 --> 00:02:07.666
One day I'll take you there.
00:02:09.001 --> 00:02:10.999
(Charles) Wait a minute, James. He's a fairy?
00:02:11.999 --> 00:02:14.001
Er, no. He's the irrepressible spirit of youth. Tinker Bell is the fairy.
00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:17.999
- Tinker Bell is a woman? - She's not a woman. She's a fairy.
00:02:18.999 --> 00:02:21.001
He is a boy who stays young forever.
00:02:21.001 --> 00:02:23.999
James, how does anyone stay young forever? It doesn't work.
00:02:23.999 --> 00:02:26.352
He just believes, Charles. He imagines life the way he wants it to be,
00:02:26.727 --> 00:02:31.857
and he believes in it long enough and hard enough that it all appears before him, see?
00:02:31.858 --> 00:02:34.001
James, I'm your friend. You're coming off a flop.
00:02:34.001 --> 00:02:38.989
- You have a man who is a fairy. - No, a boy who has a fairy.
00:02:38.001 --> 00:02:40.999
And this girl calls herself Tinker.
00:02:40.999 --> 00:02:44.087
And you have a pirate ship on stage surrounded by tons and tons of water.
