(BERT continues to draw without raising his eyes. MARY POPPINS, JANE, and MICHAEL enter wearing coats and hats.)
Stay right where you are. I’d know that silhouette anywhere: Mary Poppins!
(MARY POPPINS)
It’s nice to see you Bert.
(BERT turns his eyes from his drawing and looks up.)
Well, I must say you do look swell.
(MARY POPPINS)
I wasn’t born one minute before I walked into your house Micheal Banks. Have you met these two, Bert?
I’ve seen ‘em runnin’ about chasin’ a kite
(MICHEAL)
It isn’t a real kite.
So, what are you up to?
(MICHAEL)
You can’t come with us. You’re too dirty. And we don’t want to go to the stinky park anyway.
Oh, yes you do. ‘Cause when you walk with Mary Poppins, you go to places you never dreamed of.
(MARY POPPINS)
Hello, Bert.
Hello, Mary. Hello, kids.
(MICHAEL
Who’s Mrs. Corry?
“Who’s Mrs. Corry?” Mrs. Corry is older than anyone in the world. She talked to William before he went to conquering, to Vlad before he went to impaling, and to Alexander before he weren’t so great.
(MRS. CORRY)
Rautoplex
Lapitoferus
(BERT enters carrying a large bag and surveys the sky. JANE and MICHAEL run straight into him and scream.)
What’s the matter and who’s after you?
(JANE)
The nastiest nanny in the world
Is she really as bad as all that
(JANE)
Poor daddy. Ever since he stopped working, he just sits and mopes… Mary Poppins used to say that he needed our help, but now it’s too late.
Oh, I wouldn’t say that. I tell you what: why don’t we start things off with a bit of a shake for good luck?
(Bert holds out his hand.)
(JANE)
Why would shaking hands with you bring us luck?
Didn’t anyone ever tell you it’s lucky to shake a chimney sweep’s hand?
(MICHAEL)
I’ve always wanted to fly one with daddy
(crouches before Michael, speaking gently)
O’course you have. But you need to know how it’s done. Get some training in, and you’ll make him the proudest father in the whole bloomin’ empire!
(MARY POPPINS)
Did she?
(Very firm)
Well, maybe I’ll be a surprise for her.
(Warmly)
Hello, Bert
Welcome, Mary. You’re a sight for sore eyes.
(JANE)
Bert! What are you doing up here?
And where else should a chimney sweep be?
(JANE)
Not us, so much, but our troubles. They seem so big down in the nursery, but up here…
That’s more like it. Troubles are never so bad when you look at them from a little higher up.
(GEORGE)
Quite sure. So we’d better make some plans.
(Winifred exits. Mary Poppins appears, unseen by George, and topples over a vase, spilling gingerbread stars onto the floor. Mary Poppins exits, He notices the stars)
Well, I never. So that’s where I put them.
What are they?
Gingerbread stars I hid once from my nanny. I used to dream that when I grew up I’d learn everything there was to know about the stars. Funny, I haven’t thought about all that in years. I’m not usually sentimental.
S’good to look back sometimes
(GEORGE)
It’s that Poppins woman! She’s responsible for all this!
I know the person. What’s that thing she’s always saying?
(MARY POPPINS)
Now to bed with the both of you. Go along. Spit-spot.
(Mary Poppins tucks Jane and Michael into bed. Mary Poppins collects her bag and umbrella.)
It’s tonight, isn’t it
(MARY POPPINS)
Yes, Bert.
Well, goodbye then, Mary.
🎵No wonder that it’s Mary that we love🎵
Come on, you two
