Mary Poppins Lines
what game?
" a visit to the bank"
Michael, it's our advertisement!
"Rosy cheeks and fairly pretty." There's no objection on that score, I hope?
What kind of bird is it?
A lark. You are seeing a lark in a cage for the first time- and the last! My pleasure. Oh, don't mention it. (commence brimstone and treacle dialogue cont.)
But I thought it was usual.
A very old-fashioned idea to my mind. The best people never require them now.
You can do it. Pull one more time.
AH AH AH AH AH AH
Willoughby!!
Ah, look here she comes now.
I told you they were good kids, Mary.
And I told you they were worth bothering with.
A,F,S,E,T,O, and P
And I'll choose an...X! Now what words can we make?
Do good, and may you have good luck.
And what do you say to Mr. Northbrook?
We didn't have time to put them on.
And why not, may I ask?
Mr. and Mrs. Banks live here, yes.
And you are looking for a nanny?
Neleus must be so lonely. Could his father ever come to stay?
Anything can happen if you let it.
it's all settled then...
As long as i am satisfied. I'll see the children now, thank you.
I wish you'd just leave us alone!
Be careful of the things you wish for. Poor Valentine. Go inside and make yourself presentable.
In every wayyyyyyyy!
Best foot forward. Spit-Spot!
I don't believe you, let me see.
By the time the wind has blown the weather vane around...
A good man is much rarer, and much more valuable.
Come along, children.
I'd rather eat spinach!
Come on, Bert. You're due for a break, and you promised you'd take me out when we met again. Or have you forgotten?
What do you buy in a talking shop?
Conversations of course.
IN THE MOST DELIGHTFUL WAY
Cups on saucers please. spit spot. Is this how you usually do with Michael? rum punch my favorite!
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. (regarding Valentine) Who's he when he's at home?
...As a surprise for Daddy.
Did she? Well, maybe i'll be a surprise for her. That was a lovely greeting, Bert.
Isn't that Miss. Lark's dog, Willoughby?
Don't interrupt when someone's barking. You were saying? Really? Well, if she keeps wandering off, perhaps it would be better if you kept her on a lead.
There's that horrible old woman!
Don't point. And for your information, she is not in the least horrible.
Oh Mary Poppins, I knew you'd come back!
Don't squeeze. I'm not a sardine in a can. And where are your coats?
That's Valentine. He's mine.
From the look on his face, I'm not sure he'd agree with you.
We haven't placed any advertisement. Not yet.
George and Winifred banks live here, do they not?
He remains the sovereign... Of Cherry Tree Lane!
Good Morning.
That's it! I've run out of conversations.
Good day to you Mrs. Corry
Goodnight, Mary.
Goodnight, Bert.
Because we've run away.
Have you indeed?
How do you learn to talk dog?
How do you think? Master the grammar-
You think you know everything!
I couldn't agree more. Jane?
It's not fair!
I didn't say I was fair, I said...
Why not? We have.
I don't need any luck, thank you.
Oh dear, should I call a doctor?
I don't think that will be necessary, ma'am.
....Perhaps you could keep them occupied.
I hope you haven't forgotten, ma'am, tonight's my evening out.
...And don't forget the references!
I make it a rule never to give references.
Mary Poppins where are we going today?
I thought we could play our next game
He can't know you! You've only just arrived!
I wasn't born one minute before I walked into your home, Michael Banks. Have you met these two, Bert?
You won't leave us, will you Mary Poppins?
I'll stay until the wind changes. Now run along in.
Oh, none at all.
I'm glad to hear it.
I'm not sure I like strawberry ice.
I'm not sure I care. Open.
Yes?
I've come in to answer the advertisement.
...And where from, I'd like to know? Where from?
If I were a park keeper, I should straighten my cap and button my coat. Come along, children.
I won't take it and you can't make me!
In that, as in so many things, your information is faulty. Open.
Well I won't go to sleep and you can't make me!
In that, as in so may things...
Your information...
Is faulty. PLAYING THE GAME...PLAYING THE GAME. Are you feeling any better, Valentine?
*whistling up the fireplace
Is that you, Bert? (Commence Chim Chim Cher-ee)
It was as if the wind just blew you here.
It did. Now, stand over there. (pulls out tape measure) Just as I thought. A noisy, mischievous, troublesome little boy.
What's that noise?
It's a bird. I might have known. DID SHE? WELL FRANKLY THAT'S NOT A SURPRISE..
I'd know that silhouette anywhere: Mary Poppins!
It's nice to see you Bert
Go on, take your pick.
Jane, you can choose seven.
Patently sound.. Spit-spot!
Jane...doll's house please. I'll take my telescope, thank you.
Now this is... Oh..
Mary Poppins. Jane, don't stare. And close you mouth, Michael. We are not a codfish. Best foot forward. Spit-Spot.
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?
She came from up-
Michael!
Nothing's ever set in STONE!!! 'Morning Mary!
Morning Constable.
Aren't you going to shake hands with Bert for luck?
No
I suppose the best people wouldn't ask you to change your plans?
No ma'am, they wouldn't.
The mothers, I suppose.
Not the children?
But...it's strawberry ice!
Now you.
You're making that up! "A noisy, mischievous..."
Now you. "Thoughtless, short-tempered, and un-tidy."
Lime cordial!
Now, off we go, you two. Michael, I know you like to keep things neat. Jane...
That's not a word!
Of course it's a word. And unless I'm very much mistaken, I think it's going to prove a rather useful one. WHEN TRYING TO EXPRESS ONESELF...
'Course I ain't, Mary. But...
Oh dear is that all you've got? Never mind. My treat. And no one's charging for the trees and sky are they?
But they tore my arm...again!
Oh dear, children who lose their temper will lose everything else in the end.
Just you 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?
...and we were too stupid to hear what you were saying-
Oh, my eye, but your life's a tragedy. Now let's go home. And don't dawdle.
There is no shop in the park.
Remember, anything can happen if you let it.
They're our toys, and we'll do what we like with them! So there!
So there, indeed.
Wouldn't that be rather upside-down?
Sometimes families are upside-down, for a while anyway.
Much better, thank you.
TEMPERS ARE FRAYED....
You do look tip-top if I may say so.
Thank you Bert, and you may.
What a waste!
That's a matter of opinion. Here. One bag, please. Save your sixpence.
He's a doll, silly! He couldn't do anything.
That's all, you too. Now, into bed. At once.
Now look what you've done!
That's no way to treat valentine. What's he ever done to you?
You will have every third Thursday evening off from five until nine.
The best people give every second Wednesday from six 'till LATE, ma'am, and that is what I shall take.
But we haven't had our milk-
There'll be no buts. And no milk, either. If you can't be good, you may as well be sorry.
What a silly expression.
There's nothing silly about it in the least.
I don't want to. They're boring!
They might say the same about you.
He's just a doll and I don't want to play with him right now.
Treat him like that and he might not want to play with you. Now, first things first. I always say the proper place to hang a hat is on a hat stand.
*Enter nursery for the first time
Very tidy, I must say. Tidier than I was expecting. Who's responsible for that?
Well, I suppose-
Very well then. Now, let's see. "Play games, all sorts." Which I most certainly can. "Take us on outings, give us treats."
All: IN THE MOST DELIGHTFUL WAY
We'll be off now ma'am. Come along children. Best foot forward
...and to Alexander when he weren't so great.
We'll have to call at her shop in the park.
How long will you stay?
We'll see.
Now, Mary Poppins, what can I do for you?
Well I did want an ounce of conversations.
Well, I've never seen a talking shop.
Well, there is only one, and it belongs to Mrs. Corry.
But she's just a bundle of rags!
When will you learn to look past what you see? EARLY EACH DAY...
Please tell them, Mary Poppins!
Why don't you tell them?
Make them go small and get back in their box!
Why? You've hurt them and called them names. Now it's their turn. SUMMON THE TOYS....
He is a servant.
With that attitude you'll get through a lot of staff before your very old. Besides. In every job that must be done there is an element of fun
That's what made me the man I am! Eh, Mary Poppins?
Yes, I'm afraid it did.
Somebody had to make them up!
You know, we can always use the same letter more than once. Now let me see... Super...calif...ragil...istic...epi...ali...docious!
You're going out, and we get left on our own!
You've got plenty of toys to play with.
...When we made our list?
Your "list"? I'm not an item in the weekly shop, thank you very much.
You can't make a conversation out of them.
Your turn Michael, seven more.
Practice when you can-
and avoid mongrels. Far too much slang. Now come along. I can't stand here all day talking shop.
...you must've put the idea into his head
what an impertinent thing to say. Me, putting ideas into other people's heads. Really!
