Eh, this paper? Where did you
get it from? I thought I tore it up.
Excuse me. "Item four:
You must be kind."
I am kind,
but extremely firm.
- Have you lost something?
- Ah! Yeah.
That paper, you see.
I thought that I...
- You are George Banks, are you not?
- What?
And you did advertise
for a nanny, did you not?
- George Banks.
- Very well then.
I tore it up,
turned it over.
Tore it up again
and threw it in there. Yes.
I beg your pardon.
Are you ill?
I hope not.
Now, about my wages.
The reference here is very obscure.
- Very obscure.
- We must be very clear on
that point, mustn't we?
- Yes, we must indeed.
- I shall require
every second Tuesday off.
Every Tuesday.
On second thoughts, I believe
a trial period would be wise.
Hmm. I'll give you one week.
I'll know by then.
I'll see the children now.
Thank you.
Close your mouth please,
Michael. We are not a codfish.
Well, don't stand there staring.
Best foot forward.
Spit spot!
- George?
- Aah!
George, what on earth
are you doing?
- I thought you were
interviewing nannies.
- I was! I was!
You mean you've
selected one already?
- Yes, it's done. It's, it's all done.
- Well, where is she?
What? Well, eh, she's in
the nursery of course, I mean.
- I put her to work straightaway, I mean.
- How clever of you!
I would have muddled
the whole thing.
Tell me, is she everything
that we'd hoped she be?
Well, i-it all happened rather
quickly. I mean, I... I, uh...
Will she be firm?
Will she give commands?
Will she mould our young breed?
You know, Winifred,
I think she will.
- I think she will.
- In that case...
perhaps you'd better tell Ellen
to dismiss the others.
- The others? Oh, yes. Ellen?
- Y-Yes, sir?
Tell the other applicants they may go.
The position has been filled.
- The others, sir?
- Yes, the others.
How many nannies does she
think we need in this house?
The position
has been filled.
I'm afraid the nursery
isn't very tidy.
It is rather like
a bear pit, isn't it?
- That's a funny sort of bag.
- Carpet.
- You mean to carry carpets in?
- No. Made of.
This is your room, and there's
a lovely view of the park.
Hmm.
Well, it's not exactly
Buckingham Palace.
Still, it's clean.
Yes, I think it will be
quite suitable.
Just needs a touch
here and there.
Well, first things first.
I always say, the place
to hang a hat is on a hat stand.
Ah! This will never do!
I much prefer seeing
all of my face at the same time.
There... But there was
nothing in it.
Never judge things
by their appearance.
Even carpetbags.
I'm sure I never do.
A thing of beauty
is a joy forever.
Mmm, a little more light, perhaps.
We better keep an eye
on this one.
- She's tricky.
- She's wonderful.
Much better!
Now, let me see.
That's funny. I always carry it with me.
It must be here somewhere.
- What?
- My tape measure.
- What do you want it for?
- I want to see how you two measure up.
Well, that's the funniest thing I ever
saw. I know it's down here somewhere.
Ah, ha-ha, ha-ha!
Here it is.
Good. Come along, then. Quickly.
Head up, Michael. Don't slouch.
Just as I thought.
Extremely stubborn and suspicious.
- I am not!
- See for yourself.
"Extremely stubborn
and sus..."
Suspicious.
Now you, Jane.
Mmm. "Rather inclined to giggle.
Doesn't put things away."
How 'bout you?
Very well. Hold this for me.
As I expected. "Mary Poppins."
"Practically perfect
in every way."
Mary Poppins! Is that your name?
It's lovely.
Thank you.
I've always liked it.
- Now, shall we get on with it?
- Get on with what?
In your advertisement, did you
not specifically request to play games?
- Oh, yes!
- Very well, then.
Our first game is called
"Well Begun Is Half Done".
I don't like
the sound of that.
Otherwise entitled,
"Let's Tidy Up the Nursery".
I told you
she was tricky.
- Shall we begin?
- It is a game, isn't it, Mary Poppins?
Well, it depends on
your point of view.
You see, in
