Quotes from the Movie Mary Poppins
As I expected. 'Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way.'
Mary Poppins
In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and the job's a game.
Mary Poppins
Close your mouth please, Michael, we are not a codfish.
Mary Poppins
Why do you always complicate things that are really quite simple?
Mary Poppins
It's grand to be an Englishman in 1910 / King Edward's on the throne; it's the age of men.
Mr. George Banks
It's 6:03 and the heirs to my dominion are scrubbed and tubbed, and adequately fed. And so I'll pat them on the head, and send them off to bed. Ah, lordly is the life I lead.
Mr. George Banks
A man has dreams of walking with giants/ To carve his niche in the edifice of time/ Before the mortar of his zeal/ Has a chance to congeal/ The cup is dashed from his lips/ The flame is snuffed a-borning/ He's brought to wrack and ruin in his prime.
Mr. George Banks
A British bank is run with precision / A British home requires nothing less / Tradition, discipline and rules / Must be the tools / Without them: disorder, catastrophe, anarchy / In short, you have a ghastly mess.
Mr. George Banks
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with facts.
Mr. George Banks
Oh, George, you didn't jump into the river. How sensible of you!
Mrs. Banks
Our daughters' daughters will adore us and they'll sing in grateful chorus, "Well done, sister suffragettes."
Mrs. Banks
Though we adore men individually, we agree that as a group they're rather stupid.
Mrs. Banks
You've got to grind, grind, grind, at that grindstone / Though childhood slips like sand through a sieve / And all too soon they've up and grown / And then they've flown / And it's too late for you to give.

Winds from the east... Mist comin' in... Like somethin' was brewin', about to begin... Can't put me finger on what lies in store... But I feel what's to 'appen, all 'appened before...!
Bert
Not Royal Academy, I suppose. Still better than a finger in the eye, ain't they?
