good enough to explain all this? First of all, I would like to make one thing quite clear. Yes? I never explain anything. Yes. Banks here. Mr Dawes! I'm most dreadfully sorry, sir, about what happened at the bank today. I can assure you that... Tonight, sir? Yes, Banks. We'll expect you at 9:00 precisely. - Without fail. - Without fail. Why, yes, Banks. It's extremely serious. We regret this course of action. We regret this course of action. After all, you have been with us a good many years. - After all, you have been with us a good many years. - As was your father before you. As was your father before you. Yes, Mr Dawes. I shall be there at 9:00. 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. Life is a rum go, guv'nor. And that's the truth. You know what I think? It's that woman Mary Poppins. From the moment she stepped into this house, things began to happen to me! - Mary Poppins? - Yes, yes, of course. My world was calm Well-ordered Exemplary. Then came this person With chaos in her wake And now my life's ambitions go With one fell blow It's quite a bitter pill To take. It's that Poppins woman! She did it! I know the very person you mean. Mary Poppins. She's the one what sings... A spoonful of sugar That is all it takes It changes bread and water Into tea and cakes You see? That's exactly what I mean! Changing bread and water into tea and cakes! Indeed! No wonder everything's higgledy-piggledy here. A spoonful of sugar Goes a long, long way Have yourself a healthy helpin' Every day An healthy helpin' of trouble, if you ask me. Do you know what she did? I realize it now. She tricked me into taking Jane and Michael to the bank. That's how all the trouble started. - Tricked you into taking the children on an outing? - Yes. Outrageous! A man with all the important things you have to do. Shameful! You're a man of high position. Esteemed by your peers. And when your little tykes are cryin' You haven't time to dry their tears And see them grateful little faces Smilin' up at you Because their dad He always knows just what to do - Well, I mean, look, I, I don't think I ca... - Like you say, guv'nor. 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 Just that spoonful of sugar To help the medicine go down The medicine go down Medicine go down Well, goodbye, guv'nor. Sorry to have troubled you. Father? We're sorry about the tuppence. We didn't know it would cause you so much trouble. Here, Father, you can have the tuppence. Will that make everything all right? Thank you. Come in! Take your hat off, Banks. Good evening, gentlemen. Well, get on with it. Go on. Uh, yes, Father. In 1773, an official of this bank... unwisely loaned a large sum of money... to finance a shipment of tea to the American colonies. - Do you know what happened? - Yes, sir. Yes, I think I do. Uh, uh, as the ship lay in Boston Harbor... uh, a party of the colonists dressed as red Indians... uh, boarded the vessel, behaved very rudely, and, and threw all the tea overboard. This made the tea unsuitable for drinking... even for Americans. Precisely. The loan was defaulted. Panic ensued within these walls. There was a run on the bank! From that time to this, sir... there has not been a run on this bank... until today! A run, sir, caused by the disgraceful conduct of your son. - Do you deny it? - I do not deny it, sir. And I shall be only too glad to assume responsibility for my son. - What are you waiting for? Get on with it! - Uh, y-yes, Father. - No, not that! - ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Пара Пара Сакура на английском - текст Новый мир на английском - текст Текс на английском - текст Набалдашник и метла на английском - текст Злодей на английском |
