[Wendy has just become the Lost Boys' mother] 
Peter: Discipline. That's what fathers believe in. We must spank the children immediately before they try to kill you again. In fact, we should kill them. 
Wendy: Father. I agree that they are... perfectly horrid, but... kill them and they should think themselves... important. 
The Lost Boys: So important, Peter. 
Curly: And unique. 
Wendy: I, propose something far more dreadful. Medicine. The sticky, sweet kind. 
The Lost Boys: Kill us, Peter.
