Truly Scrumptious What's your name?
Truly Scrumptious Truly.
That's a very pretty name.
Truly Scrumptious Now, where is your house?
Oh, we don't live in a house.
We live a castle. On top of a hill.
Truly Scrumptious [laughs]
A castle? I didn't know there were any castles around here.
Well, it isn't a castle exactly.
That's what Daddy calls it. He says King Alfred used to live there hundreds of years ago.
Truly Scrumptious And does your Daddy know you aren't in school?
Oh, he won't mind. He never does.
Truly Scrumptious Is he? Well, he'll have to find time to see me because I have a few things to say to him.
Truly Scrumptious Well! I've never been...
Spoken to like that? Well, maybe it's about time!
Truly Scrumptious Wh-what are you going to do?
Truly Scrumptious Oh dear. Must you?
Well, unless you'd rather ride piggyback.
Truly Scrumptious What an unusual car.
Truly Scrumptious [laughs]
Oh? And it actually goes?
It's called Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Truly Scrumptious That's a curious name for a motorcar.
But that's the sound it makes. Listen.
Truly Scrumptious [After the reprise of "Hushabye Mountain"]
It's a beautiful dream Caractacus, but I don't see how it's gonna help them.
[Truly looks at the children around them and Caractacus stands up.] [confidently]
You know what we're gonna do? We're gonna get up into that castle!
[incredulous]
It is impossible!
Well, we'll see. [runs up to a large water channel and looks at the children watching; loud and clear] Now everyone listen to me! You wanna get out of here, don't you? [The children cheer and Caractacus moves behind the water channel] Tomorrow is Baron Bomburst's birthday, yes? [The children boo with their thumbs down] [proud and confident] Well, we're gonna give him a birthday party he'll never forget!
[The children cheer and gather around as Caractacus makes the plan.]
And after that, Vulgaria became a free country and all the children laughed and played in the sunshine, and they were very, very happy. And Chitty flew high over the mountains back to England, everyone safe and sound, and...
And Daddy and Truly were married.
And lived happily ever after.
Truly Scrumptious Is that how the story ends?
[pauses]
It's getting late. We'd better be getting back. [gets out to restart the car]
Truly! I'm sorry about the children. I hope they didn't embarrass you.
Truly Scrumptious In what way?
Why, that silly joke about us getting married. Well, you know how kids are.
Truly Scrumptious Yes, I understand.
Well, I don't think they realize how ridiculous that would be.
Truly Scrumptious Ridiculous?
Well, yes. Well, the factory, and your father and all. It's a different world, Truly.
Truly Scrumptious You know, if I said something like that, you'd call me a snob.
[realizes his mistake]
What? I didn't mean sn...
Truly Scrumptious [offended]
Goodbye!
Truly Scrumptious [after Potts kisses her]
Well, Mr. Potts!
Truly Scrumptious Now you'll have to marry me!
[They laugh as they head for the car.]
