Actually, alas, it is not a Hook speech but a Peter speech.  "I think to die
will be an awfully big adventure," says Peter in the text of the book.

I haven't seen the film, but I know the big plot twist (you're lucky I
didn't use it as one of my spoilers!), so I probably wouldn't be able to
handle it even for Alan's sake.
