Mary Poppins Lines (Mary Poppins JR)

Michael: What game?

"A Visit to the Bank."

Jane: Michael! It's our advertisement!

"Rosy cheeks and fairly pretty." There's no objection on that score, I hope?

Jane: Is that locket new? What's inside it?

A portrait.

Winifred: Or I did.

A very tidy nursery, I must say. Tidier than I was expecting. Who's responsible for that?

George: Is she? Well, well. I wonder if I.. might have a word? Things have not gone well for us since you left us and-

About my wages, sir. If you don't mind, I won't take any just now. I should prefer to let them accrue.

Miss Andrew: Mary Poppins? But you left without notice!

And I've come back without notice.

Northbrook: No, that's its worth. Its value's in how you spend it. Do good, and may you have good luck.

And what do you say to Mr. Northbrook?

Michael: The world is awfully big, isn't it?

And what does that tell you?

Jane: But how did you make it happen?

Anything can happen if you let it.

Jane: That's impossible!

Anything can happen if you let it.

Jane: Oh, Mary Poppins, I wish you'd just leave us alone!

Be careful the things you wish for.

Bert: Or blow me a kiss.

Bert!

After Practically Perfect

Best foot forward. Spit-spot

George: I suppose I should say it's a good idea, but a good man is much rarer, and much more valuable.

Come along, children.

Jane: You really are. Welcome back, Mary Poppins

Come along, children.

Michael: Some game. I'd rather eat spinach.

Come on, Bert.

Michael: But she's there. She came this morning. As a surprise for Daddy.

Did she? Well, maybe I'll be a surprise for her. Hello, Bert.

Michael: Me. I am. I like to keep things neat.

Do you indeed? Well, I look forward to making use of that. If there's one thing I appreciate, it's a child whose word I can depend on. Now, first things first. I always say the proper place to hang a hat is on a hat stand.

Michael: There's that horrible old woman!

Don't point. And for your information, she is not in the least horrible.

Jane: I knew it! Oh, Mary Poppins, I knew you'd come back!

Don't squeeze! I'm not a sardine in a tin. And where are your coats?

George: Not so fast. Upstairs, now! Jane, you too. Mary Poppins, would you be good enough to explain?

First of all, I would like to make one thing clear.

End of Cherry Tree Lane

Good morning.

Bert: Well, goodbye then, Mary.

Goodbye, Bert. Look after yourself.

Michael: Because we've run away.

Have you indeed?

After Feed the Birds

Hello, Bert.

Measure 70 of Feed the Birds

Here. One bag, please.

Jane & Michael: That's not fair!

I didn't say I was fair. I said I was-

Michael: Aren't you going to shake hands with Bert for luck?

I don't need any luck, thank you.

Mrs. Brill: What have you done! Robertson Ay! Robertson Ay! Oh dear, should I call a doctor?

I don't think that will be necessary, ma'am.

Bert: The daffodils are smiling at the dove!

I haven't the faintest idea what-

Measure 66 of Practically Perfect

I like games. But I choose them.

George: And don't forget the references!

I make it a rule never to give references.

George: Yes? (2nd time)

I never explain anything. Come along, children.

Jane: Mary Poppins, where are we going today?

I thought we could play our next game.

Michael: He can't know you! You've only just arrived!

I wasn't born one minute before I walked into your house, Michael Banks. Have you met these two, Bert?

Winifred: Oh, I see.

I'll see the children now, thank you.

Michael: You are going to stay this time, aren't you?

I'll stay 'til the chain breaks.

Michael: You won't leave us, will you, Mary Poppins?

I'll stay until the wind changes. Now, run along in.

Miss Andrew: So you've decided to come crawling back, have you? Who are you?

I'm Mary Poppins.

George: Oh, none at all.

I'm glad to hear it

Jane: I'm not sure I like strawberry ice.

I'm not sure I care. Open.

George: Yes? (1st time)

I've come in answer to the advertisement.

Michael: But we're not ill! I won't take it, and you can't make me!

In that, as in so many things, your information is faulty. Open.

Michael: Well, I won't go to sleep, and you can't make me.

In that, as in so many things...

Jane, Michael: Your information...

Is faulty.

Michael: All gentle and kind and not a bit like you. Be cross, Mary Poppins! Do be cross again!

Is that the thanks I get for the trouble I've taken?

Jane: But it doesn't mean anything!

It can mean exactly what you want it to.

Jane: How did you come then? It was as if the wind just blew you here.

It did. Now stand over there. Just as I thought. "A noisy mischievous, troublesome little boy."

Bert: Stay right where you are. I'd know that silhouette anywhere: Mary Poppins!

It's nice to see you, Bert.

Bert: Coo! What a sight!

Joining the sweeps tonight, are we?

Michael: I'm sick and tired of your stupid sayings and your stupid games!

Just get into bed.

Michael: Oh, Mary Poppins, it makes me so anxious when you talk like that.

Like what?

Winifred: Oh, of course... You'll find they're very nice children. Now this is.. oh-

Mary Poppins. Jane, don't stare. And close your mouth, Michael. We are not a codfish. Best foot forward. Spit-spot.

Jane: Fathers are supposed to look after their children, not yell at them all the time.

Maybe, but have you asked yourself who looks after the fathers when things go wrong?

Michael: She came from up-

Michael!

Michael: Do you read stories without a big fuss?

Mm-hmm.

Michael: Not temperamental?

Never.

Michael: The mothers, I suppose.

Not the children?

George: What advertisement? We haven't placed any advertiseme-

Now let's see. "Play games, all sorts." Which I most certainly can. "Take us on outings, give us treats."

Michael: That's better!

Now to bed with both of you. Go along. Spit-spot.

Michael: But... it's strawberry ice!

Now you.

Michael: You're making that up! "A noisy mischievous, troub-

Now you. "Thoughtless, short-tempered, and untidy."

George: But if you only knew how many payments are accruing as it it!

Now, I must get started. Jane, Michael, spit-spot.

Jane: Lime Cordial!

Now, off we go, you two. Michael, I know you like to keep things neat. Jane...

End of first Practically Perfect verse

Now, perhaps you have a few questions.

Mrs. Corry: Ooh, I do have some letters...

Now, what words can we make?

Michael: That's not a word

Of course it's a word. And unless I'm very much mistaken, I think it's a rather useful one.

Jane: It's been so awful since you went away and now Miss Andrew's come and Daddy's ruined and we never helped him like you wanted us to and-

Oh my eye, but your life's a tragedy. Now let's go home. And don't dawdle.

Bert: Mary makes your heart so light!

Oh really!

Winifred: Children, you know how important my party is! You deserve some nasty medicine. Just wait 'til bedtime.

Oh, I don't think we should wait 'til then, ma'am. Why not go up and get changed? We'll clear up, won't we?

Honeybees: Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!

Oh, my point exactly.

Michael: That we are awfully small and unimportant?

Oh, speak for yourself.

Miss Andrew: I see. And what do you expect me to do?

Pack.

Jane: Will you stay tender when the going gets tough?

Quite the contrary.

After second verse of Spoonful of Sugar

Right yourselves, please. Spit-spot! Up we go, Robertson Ay.

Winifred: Gone? Why?

She didn't give a reason, ma'am.

Winifred: Where's Miss Andrew?

She's gone.

Bert: So?

So they've got to do the next bit on their own. Cheerio, Bert. Keep an eye on them for me.

Jane: Wouldn't that be rather upside down?

Sometimes families are upside-down, for a while anyway.

Michael: No, I wouldn't!

That's all you two. Now, into bed. At once.

Michael: Not grouchy or gruff?

The very thought!

Bert: Oh, you're going then?

The wind has changed.

End of Brimstone and Treacle (Part 2)

There, that's given her a taste of her own medicine.

After Spoonful of Sugar

We'll be off now, ma'am. Come along children, best foot forward.

Jane: Mary Poppins, how long will you stay?

We'll see.

Jane & Michael: Hello.

We're off to Mrs. Corry's Talking Shop. Care to join us?

Mrs. Corry: Now, Mary Poppins, what can I do for you?

Well, I did want an ounce of conversations.

Jane: If he did, you must have put the idea into his head somehow.

What an impertinent thing to say. Me, putting ideas into other people's heads. Really!

Jane: But she's just a bundle of rags!

When will you learn to look past what you see?

Jane: Must we? Can't Robertson Ay do it when he wakes up? He is a servant.

With that attitude, you'll get through a lot of staff before you're very old. Besides... In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun.

Bert: But they're good kids, Mary.

Would I be bothering with them if they weren't? But I can't help them if they won't let me.

Bert: It's tonight, isn't it?

Yes, Bert.

Michael: I love you, Mary Poppins.

You are a fine boy Michael Banks, and one day you will be a fine man.

Bert: Mary makes the sun shine bright!

You do talk nonsense, Bert.

Measure 87 of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

You know you can say it backwards, which is suoicodilaipxecitiligarfilacprepus.

Mrs. Corry: And where do you think words came from in the first place? Somebody had to make them up.

You know, we can always use the same letter more than once. Now let me see... Super... cali... fragil... istic... expi... ali... docious!

Michael: Don't you ever stop?

You should govern your temper or your temper will govern you.

Michael: Whose?

You'll know when the time comes and not before.

Bert: Your heart starts beating like a big brass band!

You've enough brass for all of us.

Jane: Mary Poppins, how could you know what we wanted in a nanny... when we made our list?

Your "list"? I'm not an item in the weekly shop, thank you very much.
