Mary Poppins
- Mary Poppins: In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun, and - SNAP - the job's a game!
- Mary Poppins: You know, you *can* say it backwards, which is "docious-ali-expi-istic-fragil-cali-rupus" - but that's going a bit too far, don't you think?
- Bert: Indubitably!
- Mary Poppins: [singing] Early each day to the steps of St. Paul's, the little old bird woman comes... In her own special way to the people she calls, come buy my bags full of crumbs. Come feed the little birds, show them you care, and you'll be glad if you do. Their young ones are hungry, their nests are so bare; all it takes is tuppence from you. Feed the birds, tuppence a bag. Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag... Feed the birds, that's what she cries, while overhead her birds fill the skies. All around the cathedral the saints and apostles look down as she sells her wares. Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling each time someone shows that he cares. Though her words are simple and few, listen, listen, she's calling to you. Feed the birds, tuppence a bag. Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag. Though her words are simple and few, listen, listen she's calling to you. Feed the birds, tuppence a bag. Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
- Mary Poppins: [singing] He traveled all around the world, and everywhere he went, he'd use his word, and all would say, "There goes a clever gent!"
- Bert: [singing] When dukes or maharajahs pass the time o' day wi' me, I say me special word and then they ask me out to tea!
- Mary Poppins, Bert: Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious, if you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
- [Mary Poppins measures herself with her tape measure and reads what it says]
- Mary Poppins: As I expected. "Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way."
- Mr. Banks: Just a moment, Mary Poppins. What is the meaning of this outrage?
- Mary Poppins: I beg your pardon?
- Mr. Banks: Will you be good enough to explain all this?
- Mary Poppins: First of all, I would like to make one thing quite clear.
- Mr. Banks: Yes?
- Mary Poppins: I never explain anything.
- [exits]
- Mary Poppins: You *are* the father of Jane and Michael Banks, are you not?
- [pause]
- Mary Poppins: I said, you *are* the father of Jane and Michael Banks.
- Mr. Banks: Well, really - yes, of course. And you brought your references, I presume; may I see them?
- Mary Poppins: Oh, I make it a point never to give references. a very old-fashioned idea, to my mind.
- Mr. Banks: Is that so? We'll have to see about that one then, won't we?
- Mary Poppins: Now the, the qualifications... item one: a cheery disposition. I am *never* cross. Item two: rosy cheeks... obviously. Item three: play games, all sorts. Well, I'm sure the children'll find my games *extremely* diverting.
- Mr. Banks: Now this paper, where did you get it from? I - I thought I tore it up.
- Mary Poppins: Excuse me. Item four: you must be kind. I *am* kind, but *extremely* firm.
- [looking suspicious]
- Mary Poppins: Have you lost something.
- Mr. Banks: [banging his head against the fireplace flue] Ah! Yes, you see... I thought that...
- Mary Poppins: Our first game is called Well Begun is Half-Done.
- Michael: I don't like the sound of that.
- Mary Poppins: Otherwise titled Let's Tidy up the Nursery.
- Michael: [to Jane] I told you she was tricky.
- Mary Poppins: [singing] So when the cat has got your tongue, there's no need for dismay! Just summon up this word, and then you've got a lot to say! But better use it carefully or it could change your life...
- Pearly Drummer: For example...
- Mary Poppins: Yes?
- Pearly Drummer: One night I said it to me girl, and now me girl's me wife.
- [Wife gets angry and hits him with tambourine]
- Pearly Drummer: Ow! And a lovely thing she is, too.
- [Wife smiles]
- Jane: Mary Poppins, we won't let you go!
- Mary Poppins: Go? What on earth are you talking about?
- Michael: Didn't you get sacked?
- Mary Poppins: Sacked? Certainly not. I am never sacked!
- Jane: Oh, Mary Poppins!
- Jane, Michael: Hurrah, hurray, hurray, hurray, hurray, hurray...
- Mary Poppins: Neither am I a Maypole. Kindly stop spinning about me.
- Parrot Umbrella: Awk, that's gratitude for you. Didn't even say goodbye?
- Mary Poppins: No, they didn't.
- Parrot Umbrella: Look at them! You know, they think more of their father than they do of you!
- Mary Poppins: That's as it should be.
- Parrot Umbrella: Well, don't you care?
- Mary Poppins: Practically perfect people never permit sentiment to muddle their thinking.
- Parrot Umbrella: Is that so? Well, I'll tell you one thing, Mary Poppins: you don't fool me a bit!
- Mary Poppins: Oh, really?
- Parrot Umbrella: Yes, really. I know exactly how you feel about these children, and if you think I'm going to keep my mouth shut any longer, I'll...
- [she clamps his mouth shut]
- Mary Poppins: That will be quite enough of that, thank you.
- Mary Poppins: [watching Bert, Albert, Jane, and Michael laugh together on the ceiling] Why, it's the most disgraceful sight I've ever seen, or my name isn't Mary Poppins.
- Bert: Speakin' o' names, I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith.
- Uncle Albert: What's the name of his other leg?
- [he, Bert, Jane, and Michael laugh]
- Bert: All right, I'll do it myself!
- Mary Poppins: Do what?
- Bert: Bit o' magic!
- Michael: A bit of magic?
- Bert: It's easy! Let's see... You think.
- [he, Jane, and Michael do so]
- Bert: You wink.
- [they do so]
- Bert: You do a double blink.
- [they do so]
- Bert: You close your eyes... and jump!
- [They jump onto the drawing, nothing happens]
- Jane: Is something s'posed to happen?
- Mary Poppins: Bert, what utter nonsense!
- [gives an exasperated sigh]
- Mary Poppins: Why do you *always* complicate things that are really quite simple? Give me your hand please, Michael. Don't slouch. One... two...
- [They jump into the chalk picture]
- Mary Poppins: [singing] Chim Chiminy, Chim Chiminy, Chim Chim Chiree! When you're with a 'sweep, you're in glad company.
- Bert: Never was there a more happier crew, than them what sings Chim Chim Chiree Chim Chiroo! Chim Chim Chiminy Chim Chim Chiree Chim Chiroo...
