I love this movie


His daughter in that movie is the most rotten piece of shite daughter.

When he's trying to save them "mommy could do it"

After he saves them both and says think one happy thought and you'll fly she says "mommy"

When they get back after being kidnapped and see their tear striken face of their exhasted mother in the room praying she would one day see her kids again she says "let's not wake her"

My favorite seen in the movie is when Jack smashes the clocks. That scene pulls at my heart strings. This dialogue exchange kills me:


Captain James Hook: You know you want to. Give it a try. Go on.
Jack: This is for... never letting me blow bubbles in my chocolate milk!
[smashes his father's watch]
Captain James Hook: Good form! Bravo!
[claps]
Smee: Isn't that wonderful?
Jack: This is for never letting me jump on my own bed!
[smashes another clock]
Captain James Hook: Make time stand still, laddie.
Jack: For always making promises and breaking them!
[smashes another clock]
Jack: For never doing anything with me.
[smashes another clock]
Captain James Hook: For a father who's never there, Jack? Jack, for a father who didn't save you on the ship.
Jack: [starts to cry] Who wouldn't save us...
Captain James Hook: Who *couldn't* save you, Jack.
Jack: [tearfully] Well, he - he wouldn't. And he didn't even try. He was there and we were there and he wouldn't try.
[pulls his cap down as he cries]
Captain James Hook: [pulls his cap up] Jack... he will try. And the question will be: When the time comes, do you want to be saved? Now, don't you answer now. No, no, no, no, no. Now it's time to be whatever you want to be. Put behind you any thoughts of home; that place of broken promises.

Jack: That what?
Captain James Hook: Have I ever made a promise, Jack... I have not kept?
[gives him a baseball]
Captain James Hook: Have I, son?

That bold passage is one of the most devious, manipulative, sinister, depressing, upseting perfect lines of dialouge exchange delivered in a movie and Hoffman and the kid that plays Jack act that scene absolutely perfectly. It starts off light hearted and kind of fun and slowly turns brutal as you see the poor dejected kid get more and more upset then Hook steps in and drives the knife home.
