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?
