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:
|
AAAAH!!!
