Nanny McPhee
- Nanny McPhee: There is something you should understand about the way I work. When you need me but do not want me, then I must stay. When you want me but no longer need me, then I have to go. It's rather sad, really, but there it is.
- [Nanny McPhee turns around to walk out of the room, but stops once she hears Simon]
- Simon Brown: We will never want you!
- Nanny McPhee: Then I will never go.
- Nanny McPhee: How's the reading coming along?
- Evangeline: Oh... all right. I still haven't gotten to the end of the story, though.
- Nanny McPhee: There's no need. You are the end of the story.
- Simon Brown: [Nanny McPhee appears only after he taps her wand into the ground, he nervously quotes her] I-I *did* knock...
- Nanny McPhee: I know. I heard you.
- Simon Brown: You must feel at such a disadvantage, Nanny McPhee.
- Nanny McPhee: In what way?
- Simon Brown: We know your name... but you don't know ours.
- [holds out hand]
- Simon Brown: Pleased to make your acquantence, I'm Oglinton Fartworthy.
- [Children giggle whilst making farty noises]
- Nanny McPhee: [Shakes Simon's hand] How d'you do.
- Simon Brown: That's F-A-R-T, Fartworthy.
- Tora: Booger McHorsefanny.
- Lily: Knickers O'Muffin.
- Eric Brown: Sandra.
- Christianna: Bum.
- Sebastian: I'm Bum!
- Christianna: Oh, Bosoms.
- [Children giggle out loud]
- Baby Agatha: Bum.
- Christianna: You can't be Bum, Aggie! Sebastian's Bum. You're Poop.
- Baby Agatha: Poop Bum.
- Sebastian: You can't be Poop and Bum!
- Mr. Brown: Nanny McPhee! Now she can't take the donkey, so what have you done?
- Nanny McPhee: I have done nothing, sir. The children have decided amongst themselves.
- Mr. Brown: Decided what?
- Great Aunt Adelaide: [off in distance] There you are, my dear.
- Mr. Brown: Not little Chrissy. it's Evangeline
- [runs from the house]
- Mr. Brown: Evangeline!
- Great Aunt Adelaide: [in the carriage] Now my dear, tell me your name.
- Mr. Brown: [bolts down the road] Evangeline!
- Nanny McPhee: Tell me your name.
- Mr. Brown: [in the forest] Evangeline!
- Great Aunt Adelaide: Sit up straight, and tell me your name.
- Mr. Brown: [the carriage fades in the distance] NO! Evangeline!
- Christianna: Papa! Papa!
- [races into her father's arms and hugs him]
- Mr. Brown: Oh thank...
- [the other children run up to him]
- Mr. Brown: all of you? Oh... Then who is?
- Evangeline: [raises head for Aunt Adelaide to see] Evangeline... My name is Evangeline.
- Nanny McPhee: [after using a winking donkey to rescue the children from their Great Aunt] One of you is going to have to go and it can't be the donkey.
- [last lines]
- Vicar: Dearly beloved, we are gathered together to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony. Make a loud noise and rejoice and sing praise.
- Nanny McPhee: [narrating, as she nods to the empty chair of the Brown family matriarch then walks away into the countryside] There is something you should understand about the way I work. When you need me, but do not want me, then I must stay. When you want me, but no longer need me, then I have to go.
