Lines Flashcards
We’re very sorry miss
I’m sure you are, just look at my car and just look at the mess I’m in too
Come on Jemima, follow me (dance)
Well, that’s a very clever thing to do
And I like your car
You shouldn’t be running across the road like that, you might have been killed. Anyway, why aren’t you in school? it isn’t a holiday is it?
No miss
Do you live around here?
Just down the road
Come along get into my car, I’m taking you home
Just wait till daddy here’s we’ve been in a motor car
What’s your name?
And I’m Jeremy, what’s yours?
Truly
That’s a very pretty name
Now, where is your house?
We live in a castle on top of a hill
I didn’t know there were any castles around here
It isn’t a castle exactly, daddy calls it that, he says king Alfred used to live there a long time ago
And does your daddy know you aren’t in school?
He’s awfully busy
Is he? Well he’ll have to find time to see me, I have a few things to say to him
That’s daddy over there
Hello
Hello, your just in time
What on earth is he up to?
Rockets
Rockets?
Stand back, keep clear, whoa!
That’s not funny, somebody should do something. Hold on, wait there
Thankyou
You might have gone up in flames
Madam, I took that into consideration. This suit is flame proof
Oh dear
You have ruined my propulsion unit
Well how was I to know
That’s nice
Do you realise mr Potts, I nearly knocked down your children?
We do seem to be accident prone don’t we
It wasn’t my fault, they came rushing …
Goodbye, thanks for the ride
Just a moment you two, don’t you have something to tell your father?
Bye
But mr Potts …
Hey, hey! Good afternoon miss, sorry I can’t stop, I’m off to have tea with the maharajah. Cheerio
Mr Potts, mr Potts. I’m sorry to persist about this but perhaps you aren’t aware that your children were running about the road, it’s not a playground
Would you mind pressing that switch over there? Just behind you, on the left, the left. Thankyou
You ought to exercise more control over them
I suppose I could chain them up on a long chain, so they get plenty of exercise
Don’t your children go to school?
Oh I have it now, your the truant officer
No, I’m not the truant officer
Didn’t you ever play truant, not once?
I most certainly did not
No, I bet you didn’t
Would it be too much to ask what this is? This thing?
A little invention of mine, cleans carpets by suction, away with sweeping and brushing and dirty carpets
All that just to clean carpets, is that all you do, invent things?
Is that all I do?
What’s this gadget?
That’s not quite right yet, but I hope to transmit moving pictures by wireless
Really?
Yes really, as Marconi …
And this?
This is a sweet-making machine
Is this one of the sweets?
Yes it is
Is it supposed to have holes in it?
No, actually I think the problem …
The boiling point of your sugar is too high
An expert on sweet making are we? And an expert on child welfare
I was only trying to help
Maybe my children like running wild. Did that ever occur to you? And how my children behave is frankly no concern of yours, so take off in your fancy automobile and go do good somewhere else
Well, I’ve never been …
Spoken to in that way before? Maybe it’s about time. Good afternoon madam. Mind the cable! Officious, interfering … If women want to drive motor cars, they should learn to operate one
I suppose it wouldn’t occur to you to offer to help me
Get in the car please
For a mechanically minded man
Try switching it on!
Oh
Oh, how do I get one?
Hello children
Miss scrumptious, how nice to see you, may I say you look lovely today
Good morning and thankyou Phillips. Please tell my father I’m here
Of course miss scrumptious, right away
Are you here on business mr Potts?
Yes, miss … Father? Truly scrumptious? You’re his …
His daughter, yes
I don’t think that’ll do much good
Just a moment, exactly what was it …
You’ve seen them
Oh those
But they whistle
Whistle?
Those holes, you just blow through them
They’re very ingenious
Miss scrumptious please go in, your father will see you right away. You can come back in three weeks
Show mr Potts in, now
Now? But his lordship …
Now Phillips
Go on daddy
And don’t let him bully you
Too late, had your chance, lost it, good morning
Follow him
A slight squeeze on the hooteris, an excellent safety precaution miss scrumptious
Never mind about that. Just look at the state I’m in
We’re going to the seaside on a picnic, come with us, please
I’m hardly in the mood for a picnic
I got a little mixed up
What an unusual car
Daddy made it
And it actually goes?
It’s called chitty chitty bang bang
That’s a curious name for a motor car
It’s more fun with two grown ups. Truly scrumptious, even if we didn’t know your name, we could have guessed it
Oh?
Yes, toot sweets
Toot sweets? Oh no
(Song truly scrumptious)
Mr Potts?
Somebody call?
I’m sorry
That’s alright
What are you doing?
Just tinkering
You know mr Potts, you have two wonderful children
Why thankyou, I must agree with you there
Isn’t it beautiful?
What are we going to do?
Do hurry mr Potts
Look! They are completely cut off by the tide. They will drown, I haven’t seen a good drowning in years
Can I help?
Hurry daddy, quickly, before they get here
It’s no good, it won’t start
This is impossible
Well you built it
It’s uncategorical, a fuel burning oracle, a fantasmagorical machine
They’re firing at us
Good, now let’s go and find that car
You know mr Potts
Caractacus, it’s a pretty silly name
I don’t think so. You know, I really owe you an apology, you’re more than just a father to those two children
Nursemaid, private tutor, chief cook and bottle washer, everything. Except what they really need
It’s been quite a day
That’s grandpa’s hut
But what’s it doing up there?
Where are they going?
Look out! Where are they going? What’s happening?
Look at that
It’s fantastic, you’re a genius
We’ll catch them up
We’ve lost them
(Roses of success dance)
Do you know where we are?
Somewhere over the North Sea?
You don’t mean you don’t know?
We must just keep looking
Look! What’s that down there?
What’s the matter with you? You want to destroy my beautiful car?
They’re firing at us
We made it, isn’t chitty wonderful. You’re clever daddy
Yes, he certainly is
We want to come too. To help you find grandpa
Don’t you think we ought to stay together?
Maybe you’re right
Come on children, I wonder where we are
I don’t know, come on. Pardon me sir, the castle? Le chateau?
Der schloss?
What’s the matter with him? Come on, what are they all staring at?
I don’t know, it seems to be the children
Haven’t they seen children before?
Haven’t you noticed? There aren’t any children, not one
Quickly before the soldiers get here. Come fräulein, get inside quickly, we must hide the children. The soldiers will take then away and you may never see them again
Never see them again, but why?
Nobody’s allowed to have children in Vulgaria, where ever have you been that you don’t know this?
Not allowed children, but what about all these toys?
Are you coming? Come, come quickly
There isn’t a scrap of food on this place
Mine is making funny noises
I simply must find something for you. Promise not to move from here until I come back?
We promise don’t we?
Yes
Remember you stay right here
… inside my little dears, have a look, it’s all inside there, just pop in and choose your very nicest treat
Children!
What’s happened?
He took the children
Is that the only advise you have to offer?
It’s a beautiful dream, but I don’t see how it’s going to help them
Get me down! Call the cavalry! Get me down!
Jeremy, Jeremy!
Jemima!
They could be anywhere
Look that way, I’ll go this way
Jeremy and Jemima! Jeremy and Jemima! Jeremy! Jemima!
It’s truly, we’re in here
Don’t worry, well get you out of here. Here, they’re in there
And lived happily ever after
Is that how the story ends?
It’s getting late, we’d better get back
Well … Goodbye Jeremy, Jemima
Will we see you again?
I expect so
Truly! I hope the children didn’t embarrass you
In what way?
That silly joke about us getting married, you know what kids are like
I understand
I don’t think they realise how ridiculous that would be
Ridiculous?
Well yes, I mean you live in that big house, and your father, and the factory and all. It’s a different world
You know, if I said something like that you’d call me a snob
I didn’t mean …
Goodbye
Truly, you’ll never believe it. I got home and your father was there
I know, they told me at the house
We’re rich, more than that, I have succeeded
I always knew you would
You know something else? There’s nothing ridiculous about getting married
Whoever said there was? Well mr Potts, so dreams can come true
