Mrs Brill Flashcards
KATIE NANNA: Those little beasts have run away from me for the
last time.
And who gets stuck with the children with no nanny
in the house? Me! That’s who
WINIFRED
Mrs. Brill, we have a new nanny
She passed her interview, then?
WINIFRED: Mrs. Brill, what about the cake?
It’s just out of the oven, and too hot to be iced, or
touched for that matter.
WINIFRED: Are you quite sure you know how to ice it?
Quite sure. And in case you’re worried, I have not been exchanged by
the fairies for a total nincompoop!
ROBERTSON AY
I’d like to be helpful.
I’d like to be rich. But destiny thought otherwise
JANE
Mother wants you in the drawing room. She says you can tell Robertson
Ay what to do.
Does she indeed?
ROBERTSON AY
Please, Mrs. Brill. I don’t mind, honest.
All right. I will give you one task and one task only. Put the icing tools
next to the cake. Do you think you can manage that?
ROBERTSON AY
Is that all?
For you, yes. For me, no. I swear, tratior in the tower was on a
pleasure cruise compared to my life in this house!
WINIFRED
Mrs. Brill, go up and get ready now—
What have you done! Robertson Ay! Robertson Ay! Oh dear, should I call
a doctor?
WINIFRED: Mary Poppins, you’re a miracle worker!
How did you get
them to do it?
MARY POPPINS
We’ll be off now, ma’am.
Come along, children. Best foot forward
I’m sorry ma’am. Apparently, these came this morning,
and Robertson Ay forgot to give them to you. They’re apologies, ma’am,
from your guests. They’re not coming, none of them.
WINIFRED: Oh. Do you think we chose the wrong day?
No, ma’am, I think you asked the wrong people.
MARY POPPINS: So they’ve got to do the next bit on their own.
Cheerio, Bert. Keep an eye on them for me.
Where’s Mary Poppins?
JANE: gone.
Gone?
JANE: Mrs. Brill, what does au revoir mean?
Why?
JANE: Because that’s what she’s written in this note: “Dear Jane
and Michael: Keep playing the games. Au revoir. Mary Poppins.”
It’s French. It means “‘Til we meet again.” Now,
come inside before you catch your death
WINIFRED
Mrs. Brill, is the nursery tidy?
As tidy as I can make it, ma’am. Seein’ as ‘ow for the past six weeks I’ve
‘ad all the work to do, lookin’ after the children ever since she left, and
now I’ve got all the work to do, gettin’ the ‘ouse ready to welcome ‘er
back.
WINIFRED
If you knew how hard it was to track her down!
Really, ma’am? Fancy that
MICHAEL
Mrs. Brill, it is her, isn’t it?
Well, I don’t know who else.
MISS ANDREW
Then it doesn’t take a lot to keep you happy. Look at the dust! There!
And there! Filth!
Now, just a minute!
(MISS ANDREW:) Now, show me to my room.
I’m disappointed, I truly am. I thought it was going to be…
take a break
done
KATIE NANNA: I’ve said my say Mrs Brill I’m done with this house forever!
Well, good riddance, then. And mind you don’t stumble
on your way out!
