You mean you've selected one already?
- Yes, it's done, it's all done.
- Well, where is she?
What? She's in the nursery, of course.
I mean, I put her to work straight away.
How clever of you!
I would have muddled the whole thing.
Tell me, is she everything
that we'd hoped she'd be?
Well, it all happened rather quickly.
I mean, I...
Will she be firm?
Will she give commands?
Will she mold 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?
- 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.
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.
This will never do!
I much prefer seeing
all of my face at the same time.
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.
A little more light, perhaps.
We'd 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.
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 susp..."
Suspicious.
Now you, Jane.
Rather inclined to giggle.
Doesn't put things away.
How about 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 every job that must be done
there is an element of fun.
You find the fun, and snap!
The job's a game.
And every task you undertake
becomes a piece of cake
A lark, a spree
It's very clear to see
That a spoonful of sugar
Helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar
helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
A robin feathering his nest
has very little time to rest
While gathering his bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song
will move the job along
For a spoonful of sugar
helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down
Medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar
helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
The honeybees that fetch the nectar
from the flowers to the comb
Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro
Because they take a little nip
from every flower that they sip
- And hence...
- And hence...
- They find...
- They find...
Their task is not a grind
Cheeky.
Don't be all day about it, please.
Let me out! Let me out!
Let me out!
Well, that was very...
Thank you, now...
When you've quite finished!
Thank you.
That will be quite sufficient.
