Mary Reilly

Mrs. Banks:
She seemed so solemn and cross.

George Banks:
Never confuse efficiency with a liver complaint.

Mary Poppins:
Just as I thought. "Mary Poppins, pratically perfectly in every way."

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.

Mrs. Banks:
As a matter of fact, since you hired Mary Poppins, the most extraordinary things seem to have come over the household.

Mr. Banks:
Is that so.

Mrs. Banks:
Take Ellen for instance. She hasn't broken a dish all morning.

Mr. Banks:
Really. Well, that is extraordinary.

Bert:
You're a man of high position, esteemed by your peers. And when your little tykes are crying, you haven't time to dry their tears... And see their thankful little faces smiling up at you... 'Cause their dad, he always knows just what to do...

George Banks:
...Well, look - I...

Bert:
Say no more, Gov'ner. You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone... Though childhood slips like sand through a sieve... And all too soon they've up and grown, and then they've flown... And it's too late for you to give - just that spoonful of sugar to 'elp the medicine go down - medicine go down - medicine go down. Well, so long, Gov'ner. Sorry to have troubled you.

George Banks:
A British bank is run with precision / A British home requires nothing less / Tradition, discipline and rules / Must be the tools / Without them: disorder, catastrophe, anarchy / In short, you have a ghastly mess.

Horseman:
View hallo!

Fox:
View hallo? Faith and begora, it's them redcoats again!

Bert:
You know,begging you pardon, but the one who my heart goes out for is your father. There he is in that cold, heartless bank day after day, hemmed in by mounds of cold, heartless money. I don't like to see any living thing caged up.

Jane:
Father in a cage?

Bert:
They makes cages in all sizes and shapes, you know. Bank-shaped some of 'em, carpets and all.

Mary Poppins:
So if 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...

Mary Poppins:
Yes?

Mary Poppins:
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...

Bert:
Winds from the east... Mist comin' in... Like somethin' was brewin', about to begin... Can't put me finger on what lies in store... But I feel what's to 'appen, all 'appened before...!

Mr. Dawes Sr.:
When stand the banks of England, England stands - whoa, whoa...!

Mr. Dawes Sr.:
When fall the banks of England... ENGLAND FALLS!

Mrs. Banks:
Oh, George, you didn't jump into the river. How sensible of you!

Bert:
Winds in the east, mist coming in, / Like somethin' is brewin' and bout to begin. / Can't put me finger on what lies in store, / But I fear what's to happen all happened before.

Mr. Dawes Sr.:
Well, Banks - have you anything to say for yourself?

George Banks:
Well, sir, they say that when you have nothing to say, all you can say is...

Mr. Dawes Sr.:
Confound it, Banks! I said do you have anything to say!

George Banks:
Only one thing, sir...

Mr. Dawes Sr.:
Eh?

George Banks:
Supercallifragilisticexpialidocious!

Bert:
You think... you wink... you do a double blink. You close your eyes, and JUMP.

Jane:
Was something supposed to happen?

Mary Poppins:
Bert, what utter nonsense. Why do you always complicate things that are really quite simple. Give me your hand please Michael. Don't slouch. One, two...

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 perfectly clear.

Mr. Banks:
Yes?

Mary Poppins:
I never explain anything.

Bert:
It's true that Mavis and Sybil have ways that are winning And Prudence and Gwendolyn set your heart spinning Phoebe's delightful, Maude is disarming

Penguins:
Janice, Felicia, Lydia.

Bert:
Charming Cynthia's dashing, Vivian's sweet Stephanie's smashing, Priscilla a treat.

Penguins:
Veronica, Millicent, Agnes, and Jane.

Bert:
Convivial company, time and again. Dorcas and Phyllis and Glynis are sorts I'll agree are three jolly good sports But cream of the crop, tip of the top It's Mary Poppins, and there we stop.

George Banks:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with facts.

Jane:

Mary Poppins:
Close your mouth please, Michael, we are not a codfish.

Mary Poppins:
Of course, you can say it backwards, which is dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus, but that's going a bit too far, don't you think?

Bert:
Indubitably.

Bert:
Aw, Mrs. Corey. A story for you: your daughters were shorter than you, but they grew.

Bert:
Bert will take care of you. Like I was your own father. Now who's after you?

Jane:
Father is.

Bert:
What?

Bert:
Reminds me of a guy I know who got a cushy job in a watch factor.

Uncle Albert:
What does he do?

Bert:
He stands about all day and makes faces.

Uncle Albert:
Ha ha ha. He makes faces in a watch factory.

Mr. Dawes Jr:
In 1773, an official on this bank unwisely loaned a large sum of money to finance a shipment of tea to the American colonies. Do you know what happened?

George W. Banks:
Yes, sir, I think I do. As the ship lay in Boston Harbor, a party the colonists dressed as red Indians boarded the vessel, behaved very rudely, and threw all the tea overboard, making the tea unsuitable for drinking. Even for Americans.

Mr. Dawes Jr:
Precisely. The loan was defaulted. Panic ensued within these walls. There was a run on the bank.

Mr. Dawes Sr.:
From that time to this, sir, there has not been a run on this bank... UNTIL TODAY. A run, sir, caused by the disgraceful conduct of your son, do you deny it?

Mary Poppins:
I beg your pardon, are you ill?

George Banks:
I hope not.

Mary Poppins:
Supercalifrajalisticexpialidocious.

Jane:
Good morning, father. Mary Poppins taught us the most wonderful word.

Michael:
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

George W. Banks:
What on Earth are you talking about? Superca - Super - or whatever the infernal thing is.

Jane:
It's something to say when you don't know what to say.

George W. Banks:
Yes, well, I always know what to say.

Bert:
Here we are, number 17 Cherry Tree Lane, residence of George Banks Esq.

Bert:
'ello, 'ello, 'ello? Admiral's right. 'eavy weather brewing at Number 17 and no mistake.

Bert:
Speaking of names, I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith.

Uncle Albert:
What's the name of his other leg?

Bert:
Uncle Albert, I got a jolly joke for just such an occasion. Would you like to hear it?

Uncle Albert:
I'd be so grateful.

Bert:
Well it's about me granddad, see, and one night he has a nightmare. So bad, he chewed his pillow to bits. Bits. In the morning, I says, "How you feeling, Granddad?" He says, "Oh not bad, a little down in the mouth".

Bert:
I always say there's nothing like a good joke.

Uncle Albert:
And that was nothing like a good joke.

Uncle Albert:
A friend of mine went to buy some long underwear. The shopkeeper asked him, "How long do you want it?" And my friend said, "From about September to March".

Bert:
The whole world takes it's time from Greenwich, but Greenwich, they say, takes it's time from Admiral Boom.

Bert:
I'll do it myself.

Mary Poppins:
Do what?

Bert:
A bit of magic. It's easy. You think. You wink. You do a double blink. You close your eyes... And jump.

Jane:
Is something supposed to happen?

George Banks:
Have this piano repaired. When I sit down to an instrument, I like to have it in tune.

Mrs. Banks:
But George, you don't play.

George Banks:
Madam, that is entirely beside the point!

Michael:
I want it to feed the birds.

Mr. Dawes Sr:
Fiddlesticks, Boy. Feed the birds and what have you got? Fat birds.

Bert:
What did I tell ya? There's the whole world at your feet. And who gets to see it? But the birds, the stars and the chimney sweeps.
