better!
But you're always saying that you wanted
a cheerful and pleasant household.
Winifred, I should like to make
a slight differentiation...
between the word cheerful and
just plain giddy irresponsibility.
Excuse me, dear.
Posts, everyone, please!
I have no objection to anyone
being cheerful or pleasant.
But I do expect
a certain decorum.
I can tell you one thing, Winifred.
I don't propose standing idly by...
and letting that woman, Mary Poppins,
undermine the discipline and...
There's something odd,
I may say extremely odd...
about the behaviour of this household
since that woman arrived.
- And I want you to know
that I've noticed it!
- Yes, dear.
- One thing more.
- Yes, dear?
I suggest you have
this piano repaired.
When I sit down to an instrument,
I like to have it in tune.
But, George, you don't play.
Madam, that is entirely
beside the point!
Now, let me see. First of all,
we must go to the piano tuners.
And then we go to Mrs Cory's sh...
Mrs Cory's shop for some gingerbread.
Ah, gingerbread!
And then we go to the fishmonger's,
I think, for a nice dover sole...
and a pint of prawns.
Uh, Michael,
stop stravaging along behind.
Ahoy, there! Ahoy!
- Good day to you!
- Good morning, Admiral.
Michael, what fine adventure
are we off upon today?
Going to fight the Hottentots?
Dig for buried treasure?
We're going to buy some fish.
Very good! Proceed at flank speed.
Aye, aye, sir.
Let's put our backs
into it, lad.
More spit and polish.
That's what's wanted around here.
It's Andrew!
Uh, not so fast, please. I can't
understand a word you're saying.
Again? Och!
Oh, the poor man!
Bless you.
Well, yes, of course. There's not
a moment to lose. I'll go straightaway.
And thank you very much.
- What did he say?
- He said, "You're welcome".
- What else did he say?
- I don't think he said anything.
You know best, as usual.
- I thought we were gonna buy some fish.
- There's been a change of plans.
Come along, please.
Don't straggle.
Andrew, worrying
won't help anyone.
Why don't you go home
and put your feet up?
- Oh, Bert, I'm glad you're here.
- I came over the moment I heard.
Well, how is he?
- I've never seen him as bad
as this, and that's the truth.
- Oh!
How about them?
It's contagious, you know.
- Shall we get spots?
- Oh, highly unlikely.
- Oh, Uncle Albert!
- Oh, bless me. Bless my soul.
It's Mary Poppins!
I'm delight...
- I'm delighted to see you, Mary.
- Uncle Albert, you promised!
Oh, I kn... I know, I...
But I tried.
Really, I did, my dear. I...
But I so enjoy laughing,
you know? And, well...
And when I start,
it's all up with the...
That's what happens to me.
I love to laugh!
Oh, my goodness!
I can't help it. You can see that.
I just like laughing,
that's all.
Jane, don't you dare!
You'll only make him worse.
- It's really quite serious!
- Yes, whatever you do,
keep a straight face.
Last time, it took us
three days to get him down.
I love to laugh
Loud and long and clear
I love to laugh
It's getting worse every year
The more I laugh
The more I fill with glee
- You're no help at all.
- The more the glee
The more I'm a merrier me
It's embarrassing.
The more I'm a merrier me
Some people laugh
through their noses
Sounding something like this
Dreadful!
Some people laugh through
their teeth, goodness sakes
Hissing and fizzing like snakes
Not at all attractive
to my way of thinking.
Some laugh too fast
Some only blast
Others, they twitter like birds
You know, you're as bad as he is.
Then there's that kind
what can't make up their mind
When things
strike me as funny
I can't hide it inside and squeak
As the squeakelers do
I've got to let go
with a ho ho ho ho
And laugh
Too
How nice!
I was hoping you'd turn up.
- Turn up!
- We always have such a jolly time.
We love to laugh
Loud and long and clear
We love to laugh
So everybody can hear
The more you laugh
Whoops, don't you two start.
