 * When Hook states that it is Peter Pan who is the villain in Neverland, not he, Emma replies that Pan is not supposed to be a villain. J.M. Barrie's original draft of the play actually depicts Pan as the villain, kidnapping children from their beds. Captain Hook was only introduced later as a theatrical device to help stagehands change scenery.
