Peter: This is absurd. It’s just a dog.
Barrie: Just a dog? *Just*?

Barrie: Porthos, don’t listen!
[to Peter]
Barrie: Porthos dreams of being a bear, and you want to shatter those dreams by saying he’s *just* a dog? What a horrible candle-snuffing word. That’s like saying, “He can’t climb that mountain, he’s just a man”, or “That’s not a diamond, it’s just a rock.” Just.
