Partager la citation sur facebook It's 6:03 and the heirs to my dominion are scrubbed and tubbed, and adequately fed. And so I'll pat them on the head, and send them off to bed. Ah, lordly is the life I lead.

Partager la citation sur facebook A man has dreams of walking with giants
To carve his niche in the edifice of time
Before the mortar of his zeal
Has a chance to congeal
The cup is dashed from his lips
The flame is snuffed a-borning
He's brought to wrack and ruin in his prime.

Mary Poppins: I beg your pardon, are you ill?
George: I hope not.

Partager la citation sur facebook Bert: [sings] 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, and Lydia.
Bert: [sings] Charming!
Cynthia's dashing
Vivian's sweet
Stephanie's smashing
Priscilla a treat.
Penguins: Veronica, Millicent, Agnes, and Jane.
Bert: [sings] 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....
Bert and the Penguins: It's Mary Poppins, and there we stop!

Partager la citation sur facebook Winifred: As a matter of fact, since you hired Mary Poppins, the most extraordinary things seem to have come over the household.
George: Is that so?
Winifred: Take Ellen for instance. She hasn't broken a dish all morning.
George: [uninterested] Really. Well, that is extraordinary.

Partager la citation sur facebook George: Ellen, stop making that offensive noise. And shut the window. That bird is giving me a headache.
Ellen: Yes, sir! [to the bird] Quiet! You're giving the master an 'eadache.
[The bird chirps one last time and Ellen shuts the window.]

Partager la citation sur facebook Jane: Good morning, father.
George: Morning.
Jane: Mary Poppins taught us the most wonderful word.
Michael: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
George: 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: Yes, well, I always know what to say.

Partager la citation sur facebook George: Have this piano repaired. When I sit down to an instrument, I like to have it in tune.
Winifred: But George, you don't play.
George: Madame, that is entirely beside the point!

Partager la citation sur facebook Bert: Speaking of names, I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith.
Uncle Albert: What's the name of his other leg?
Everyone: [laughs]

Partager la citation sur facebook Bert: Uncle Albert, I got a jolly joke I save for just such an occasion. Would you like to hear it?
Uncle Albert: I'd be so grateful.
Bert: Righto. Well it's about me granddad, see, and one night he had a nightmare. So bad, he chewed his pillow to bits. To bits. The next morning, I says, "How do you feel, Granddad?" He says, "Oh not bad, a little down in the mouth." [laughs] I always say there's nothing like a good joke.
Uncle Albert: And that was nothing like a good joke.

Partager la citation sur facebook George: [As they arrive at the bank where George works] We must be on our best behavior.
Michael: But I thought it was your bank.
George: Well, I'm one of the younger officers, so in a sense it is. Sort of.

Partager la citation sur facebook [After Jane and Michael realized that the man who startled them was only Bert as a chimney sweep for the day]
Jane: Bert. It's you.
Bert: In the flesh and at your service.
Michael: You're filthy.
Bert: Oh. Perhaps a smudge or two? It so happens that today, I'm a chimney sweep.
Jane: Oh, Bert, we're so frightened!
Bert: Now, now, don't take on so. Bert will look after you. Like I was your own father. Now who's after you?
Jane: Father is.
Bert: What?

Partager la citation sur facebook [Jane and Michael have just told Bert that the run on the bank is their fault.]
Bert: Let's sit down. 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.
Jane: But Father isn't in trouble, we are.
Bert: Oh, sure about that, are you? Look at it this way. You've got your mother to look after you. And Mary Poppins and Constable Jones and me. Who looks after your father? Tell me that. When something terrible happens, what does he do? Fends for himself, he does. Who does he tell about it? No one! Don't blab his troubles at home. He just pushes on at his job, uncomplaining and alone and silent.
Michael: He's not very silent.
Jane: Michael, be quiet. And Bert, do you think father really needs our help?
Bert: Well, Jane, it's not my place to say. [the three of them stand up] I only observe that a father can always do it with a bit of help. Come on, I'll take you home.

Partager la citation sur facebook George: Just a moment, Mary Poppins. What is the meaning of this outrage?
Mary Poppins: I beg your pardon?
George: Will you be good enough to explain all this?
Mary Poppins: First of all I would like to make one thing quite clear.
George: Yes?
Mary Poppins: I never explain anything.

Mr. Dawes Jr.: Ah, there you are, Banks. I want to congratulate you. Capitol bit of humor. "Wooden leg named 'Smith!'" [laughs and pauses] Or Jones. Whatever it was. Father died laughing.
George: Oh, I'm so sorry, sir.
Mr. Dawes Jr.: Oh, no. Nonsense. Nothing to be sorry about. Never seen him happier in his life. [hands George back the flower badge] He left an opening for a new partner. Congratulations.
George: [delighted] Thank you, sir. Thank you very much indeed, sir!
