fire brigade
is on it's way.
Do you have buckets, hooks,
fire-extinguishers?
Congratulations, mister Banks!
What luck!
It isn't oil, it's gas.
- Gas?
- Gas?!
That's not so bad, mister Banks.
Gas is even better than oil.
It happens that you go to pick
berries and find a mushroom.
The mushroom - that is gas - is
much better than oil.
You stretch a gas pipeline
across my courtyard...
and join the Organization of
Gas-exporting Countries.
Darling, did I get lucky
at last?
Quiet! Quiet! If they ask,
I was with you.
What is that? A thunderstorm?
- Oh, no. A little fire.
- Hurray!
Quiet, children! We were
playing "hit-ship".
Hurray! Jane, look, our house
is on fire! Hurray!
- Where is Mary Poppins?
- Jane, look...
And where's the piano by "Madam
Corry"? And the camp-bed?
The wind! The wind has changed!
That means.. that means,
she's gone?
She said she would stay until
the wind changed direction.
Thank God you're here!
We were playing "hit-ship".
- Mother, she's gone!
- Who?
Mother, Mary Poppins left us.
To leave at such a crucial
moment? How selfish of her!
I will never accept the
heartless girl back. Never!
- Mother!
- You are so wicked!
Shame on you, children.
I want Mary Poppins, and no
one else in the whole world!
Where is the fire hydrant?
My God, well it isn't in the
nursery!
Look!
Oh!
It's her. It's her portrait.
There's something written there.
It's "Au revoir, Mary Poppins".
- Au revo...
- Hey, what's "Au revoir"?
I think it's in French and I
think it's "Farewell".
No!
It's "good-bye". I'm sure.
It's "good-bye"!
- Then it's all right?
- She will come back!
She always keeps her promise!
- Oh, mister Banks.
- Yes?
There's an urgent telegram
for you.
Here.
Must be congratulations?
So soon?
- Any answer?
- No.
- What about the tip?
- Forget about it!
What a detestable manner...
... to bring bad news on
such a happy day?
Yes...
They haven't come.
I sound off retreat!

PART TWO
"The Week Ends on Wednesday"
Sir Lesley Lit, chief of the
London fire-fighters, says...
Quote: "To successfully
combat fire...
... we need good organization
and discipline."
It is my duty to point out, sir,
that the house was not equipped
with fire-extinguishers,
hooks or sand.
How terrible!
I'm afraid I have to charge you
with a 10 pounds fine.
It is your job, constable.
I will pay by all means.
And who will pay for my
vehicle, sir?
I represent "West-Mole Co."
My assistant.
I demand reimbursement for
the damage done!
The disruption of gas
communications led to...
... cutting Cherry St. from
gas supply.
And that entailed grave
consequences.
