Mary Poppins 1964 quotes, page 2

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.

Bert

Goodbye, Mary Poppins, don't stay away too long.

There probably aren't words to describe your emotions.

Mary Poppins

On the contrary, there's a very good word Am I right Bert? Iiiiit's Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with facts.

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.

If you don't scold and dominate us, we will never give you cause to hate us, we won't hide your spectacles so you can't see, put toads in your bed or pepper in your tea.

Mr. Dawes

While stand the banks of England, England stands - whoa, whoa...! [Mr. Dawes stumbles over his own cane] When fall the banks of England... ENGLAND FALLS! [Mr. Dawes falls backward and the rest of the Board of Directors have to catch him]

Michael

I want it to feed the birds.

Mr. Dawes Sr

Fiddlesticks, Boy. Feed the birds and what have you got? Fat birds.

Bert

Reminds me of a guy I know who got a nice cushy job in a watch factory.

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.

Bert

Bert will look after you. Like I was your own father. Now who's after you?

Jane

Father is.

Bert

What?

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...

For example...

Mary Poppins

Yes?

One night I said it to me girl, and now me girl's me wife.

Ow! And a lovely thing she is, too.

Mary Poppins

Chim Chiminy, Chim Chiminy, Chim Chim Cher-ee/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...

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.

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!

Mary Poppins

As I expected. 'Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way.'
