00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.960 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:14.540 align:middle line:84%
And I am going to just
read a little bit more

00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:16.895 align:middle line:90%
from the Peter Pan book.

00:00:16.895 --> 00:00:20.270 align:middle line:90%


00:00:20.270 --> 00:00:21.410 align:middle line:90%
Skip to the end--

00:00:21.410 --> 00:00:24.850 align:middle line:90%


00:00:24.850 --> 00:00:26.770 align:middle line:84%
because I don't think
I could really ruin it.

00:00:26.770 --> 00:00:29.890 align:middle line:84%
There's just too much
going on on this island.

00:00:29.890 --> 00:00:33.490 align:middle line:90%


00:00:33.490 --> 00:00:37.510 align:middle line:84%
So there's this one section
of the book that's very cruel.

00:00:37.510 --> 00:00:39.940 align:middle line:84%
And you see that J.M.
Barrie is very cool.

00:00:39.940 --> 00:00:42.280 align:middle line:84%
Because he can just
kill off whoever

00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:43.750 align:middle line:90%
he wants whenever he wants.

00:00:43.750 --> 00:00:47.410 align:middle line:84%
It's like The Sopranos
or Boardwalk Empire--

00:00:47.410 --> 00:00:50.830 align:middle line:90%
like, oh, well, he's gone.

00:00:50.830 --> 00:00:53.380 align:middle line:84%
So there's a span
of three sentences

00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:58.210 align:middle line:84%
in the book, Peter
Pan and Wendy,

00:00:58.210 --> 00:01:01.450 align:middle line:90%
about this pirate, Skylights.

00:01:01.450 --> 00:01:04.810 align:middle line:84%
When the children first
get to the island,

00:01:04.810 --> 00:01:07.147 align:middle line:84%
the narrator is telling
them about all the pirates.

00:01:07.147 --> 00:01:08.980 align:middle line:84%
And they're like, they
just kill each other.

00:01:08.980 --> 00:01:10.147 align:middle line:90%
Look, I'm going to kill one.

00:01:10.147 --> 00:01:11.470 align:middle line:90%
And you'll see that he dies.

00:01:11.470 --> 00:01:15.250 align:middle line:84%
And Skylights only lives for
three sentences in the book.

00:01:15.250 --> 00:01:18.790 align:middle line:84%
"Skylights-- he
didn't last long.

00:01:18.790 --> 00:01:19.990 align:middle line:90%
How long was he there?

00:01:19.990 --> 00:01:22.930 align:middle line:84%
I think it must have been
the space of three sentences.

00:01:22.930 --> 00:01:25.210 align:middle line:84%
But that is the
storyteller's way--

00:01:25.210 --> 00:01:28.780 align:middle line:84%
to kill simply to show
you how it is done,

00:01:28.780 --> 00:01:31.780 align:middle line:84%
the body kicked aside,
the cigars unmoved,

00:01:31.780 --> 00:01:35.380 align:middle line:84%
the pirates simply
keep on, keep on.

00:01:35.380 --> 00:01:38.380 align:middle line:84%
That is what the
storyteller has done, Wendy.

00:01:38.380 --> 00:01:41.210 align:middle line:90%
You didn't last long--

00:01:41.210 --> 00:01:43.750 align:middle line:90%
the space of a story.

00:01:43.750 --> 00:01:47.050 align:middle line:84%
If ever you think that the
Hook is doing something

00:01:47.050 --> 00:01:49.030 align:middle line:84%
or that Peter is
doing something,

00:01:49.030 --> 00:01:52.900 align:middle line:84%
you must remember that
it is the storyteller who

00:01:52.900 --> 00:01:54.430 align:middle line:90%
is doing something.

00:01:54.430 --> 00:01:59.140 align:middle line:84%
Morgan Skylights, we don't
quite know anything else.

00:01:59.140 --> 00:02:02.560 align:middle line:84%
And the pirates and the
storyteller move on.

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.480 align:middle line:90%
Move on, Skylights.

00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.500 align:middle line:90%
He gave one screech."

00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:08.000 align:middle line:90%
