A scene from Saving Mr. Banks 2013
Ralph

It's been a real pleasure driving you, Mrs. Travers.

P.L. Travers

No one likes a fibber.

Ralph

Oh, no, no. I really have enjoyed it. I didn't know who you were at first. And then, guess what?

P.L. Travers

You found out?

Ralph

Well, I was telling my daughter all about my day and how I'm driving this nice writer lady, Mrs. Travers, for Mr. Disney, and, uh...

P.L. Travers

And?

Ralph

And... [fetches a copy of Mary Poppins from the car] ...she made me go to her bedroom and bring her this. I can't stop reading it, you know. I'm very slow, mind you, so...

P.L. Travers

Would you like me to sign it?

Ralph

Would you?

P.L. Travers

I'd be honored. [taking the book] Let me see, now. [writing] "To Jane, and her dearest father..." I've just this moment realized I don't know your name.

Ralph

Ralph.

P.L. Travers

Pamela. You're the only American I've ever liked, Ralph. [finishes signing]

Ralph

Oh...Well, may I ask why?

P.L. Travers

No. [hands him back the book] Now, take this. [hands him a sheet of paper]

Ralph
[reading]

Albert Einstein, van Gogh, Roosevelt, Frida Kaylo-

P.L. Travers

Kahlo.

Ralph

Kahlo? What is this?

P.L. Travers

They all had difficulties. Jane can do anything that anyone else can do. Do you understand? [Ralph smiles and nods and she starts to walk away] Oh, I almost forgot. Turn it around.

Ralph

Walt Disney.

P.L. Travers

Hyperactive behavior and deficiencies in concentration. It explains everything.

Ralph

Thank you, Mrs. Travers.
