| MICHAEL: Perhaps she’s killed everyone. |
| Perhaps they’re… all dead
|
| Bird song
|
| JANE: What’s that?
|
| MARY POPPINS: It’s a caged bird!
|
| Bird song
|
| MARY POPPINS: Did she? |
| Well, frankly, that’s not a surprise!
|
| Bird song
|
| MARY POPPINS: Locked in this cage and not free in the skies!
|
| Bird song
|
| MARY POPPINS: For two years? |
| How shameful!
|
| Bird song
|
| MARY POPPINS: Yes, of course. |
| That’s a field I know well
|
| Bird song
|
| MARY POPPINS: An hour, no longer. |
| Your wings will grow stronger.
|
| Once you are freed from this cell
|
| JANE: What kind of bird is it?
|
| MARY POPPINS: A lark. |
| You are seeing a lark in a cage for the first time… and
|
| the last!
|
| Bird song
|
| MARY POPPINS: My pleasure. |
| Oh, don’t mention it
|
| MRS. |
| ANDREWS:(Speaking) So, children. |
| You’ve decided to come crawling back,
|
| have you? |
| Well, I think we know what’s needed now!
|
| (Singing) Brimstone and treacle, my favorite liquor. |
| That will make runaways
|
| stop!
|
| Impudent children respond so much quicker
|
| when forced to drink every last drop
|
| MARY POPPINS:(Speaking)Is this what you’re looking for?
|
| MRS. |
| ANDREWS:(Speaking) Who are you?
|
| MARY POPPINS: I’m Mary Poppins
|
| MRS. |
| ANDREWS: Mary Poppins! |
| But you left… without notice
|
| MARY POPPINS: And I’ve come back without notice
|
| MRS. |
| ANDREWS: I see. |
| And what do you expect me to do?
|
| MARY POPPINS: Pack
|
| MRS. |
| ANDREWS: Pack!
|
| (Singing) Silly little girl, with your newfangled methods. |
| I bring up children
|
| so they know their place! |
| Standing by
|
| tradition, I govern my charges…
|
| MARY POPPINS:(Singing) Mishandled charges blow up in your face!
|
| MRS. |
| ANDREWS: I brought up their father…
|
| MARY POPPINS: Well, that I don’t doubt! |
| You must be so proud, at the way he
|
| turned out
|
| MRS. |
| ANDREWS: A shining example, a pillar…
|
| MARY POPPINS: A post! |
| They all have their problems, but him more than most!
|
| MRS. |
| ANDREWS: You’ve let my little lark out of his cage! |
| Now you will bear the
|
| full brunt of my rage! |
| Brimstone and treacle for you
|
| Brimstone and treacle for you. |
| Brimstone and treacle for you. |
| Brimstone and
|
| treacle for you
|
| MARY POPPINS: Just a spoonful of sugar! |
| Just a spoonful of sugar!
|
| Just a spoonful of sugar!
|
| (They «ahhh» for a while, then…)
|
| MARY POPPINS: I recognize fully that you are a bully
|
| Who views cruel deeds as a perk
|
| Well then, now here’s a catch, because you’ve met your match!
|
| Brimstone and treacle…
|
| MRS. |
| ANDREWS: Brimstone and treacle will work!
|
| MARY POPPINS: Won’t work!
|
| MRS. |
| ANDREWS: Ahhhh |
