Question

What have I done wrong? It worked before I separated the methods as suggested in the jquery docs.
Calling: $(this).Slick('show');

(function ($) {

var methods = {

    // object literals for methods
    init: function (options) {

        // initialize settings
        var settings = $.extend({
            'location': 'center',
            'speed': 'normal'
        }, options);
    },
    show: function () {

        return this.each(function () {

            // plugin code here
            alert('success!');
        });
    },
    hide: function () {

        // hide
    }
};

$.fn.Slick = function (method) {
    // method calling logic -- jquery recommended / standard
    if (methods[method]) {
        return methods[method].apply(this, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments 1));
    } else if (typeof(method === 'object' || !method) {
        return methods.init.apply(this, arguments);
    } else {
        $.error('Method ' + method + ' does not exist on jQuery.Slick');
    }
};
})(jQuery);

There are two syntax errors.

Missing comma:

return methods[method].apply(this, Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments 1));

Missing closing parenthesis:

} else if (typeof(method === 'object' || !method) {
