MICHAEL ((disguised as a Sweep): Cheerio, Guv’nor. GEORGE: (recognizing him) Not so fast. Upstairs...now! Both of you. Jane, you too! Winifred, I’m surprised at you. Mary Poppins, would you be good enough to explain? POPPINS: First of all, I would like to make one thing clear. GEORGE: Yes, POPPINS: I never explain anything. Come along, children. Let’s leave your parents to contemplate the Special Delivery. ELLEN: Mrs. Brill, I think this will rock the house more than the Admiral’s time-cannon. MRS BRILL: Tsk, tsk, tsk. The whole world has gone upside-down. SCENE 13: The Special Delivery Letter MUSIC #20 A Man has Dreams/ Spoonful of Sugar reprise (George sits down to open and read the letter. Winifred doesn’t understand what has gone on) WINIFRED: George, what happened earlier this afternoon? Everything seems topsy-turvy. GEORGE: Don’t ask Winifred. It’s far too complicated to go into right now. WINIFRED: Dear, I thought the children were with you. That’s why I went to the ladies’ meeting this afternoon. GEORGE:(finishing reading the letter and sighing deeply) I was afraid of this. The Chairman wants to see me tonight at 9:00. WINIFRED: So late? I don’t understand. Should I come with you? GEORGE: No Winifred. I must face this alone. (Winifred sits next to George and holds his hand) GEORGE: A MAN HAS DREAMS OF WALKING WITH GIANTS TO CARVE HIS NICHE IN THE EDIFICE OF TIME BEFORE THE MORTAR OF HIS ZEAL HAD THE CHANCE TO CONGEAL The cup is dashed from his lips...The flame is snuffed aborning...He’s brought to rack and ruin in his prime. WINIFRED: Oh my goodness dear. So many mixed metaphors. I can’t follow you. GEORGE: You know what I think. It’s Mary Poppins. From the moment she stepped into this house, things began to happen to me! 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. WINIFRED: George, you must take heart. What is it that Mary Poppins always says? A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR, THAT IS ALL IT TAKES IT CHANGES BREAD AND WATER INTO TEA AND CAKES A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR GOES A LONG, LONG WAY SO HAVE YOURSELF A HEALTHY HELPING EVERY DAY
Winifred: Dear, maybe there are things more important than work. WINIFRED: DEAR, WHILE YOU GRIND, GRIND, GRIND AT THE GRINDSTONE THEIR 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 (THe CHILDREN come out into the room. POPPINS watches from the sidelines. ) JUST THAT SPOONFUL OF SUGAR TO HELP THE MEDICINE GO DOWN THE MEDICINE GO DOWN, MEDICINE GO DOWN. JANE: Father… GEORGE: What is it, Jane? JANE: We're sorry about the tuppence. We didn't know it would cause you so much trouble. MICHAEL: It was all my fault, Father. Here’s the tuppence. Could you open an account for me? I don’t need to feed the birds or fly a kite. JANE: Or father, if it’s more serious, you can keep it for yourself. WINIFRED: Now Jane. I don’t think it’s that serious. Is it, George? MICHAEL: Will a tuppence make everything better? GEORGE: I doubt it. But thank you, children, for trying.
GEORGE: Good evening, gentlemen, ladies. CHAIRMAN: Well, get on with it. Go on.
GEORGE: Yes, sir. Yes, I think I do. Uh, uh, as the ship lay in Boston harbor, uh, a party of the colonists, boarded the vessel, behaved very rudely, and, and threw all the tea overboard. This made the tea unsuitable for drinking, even for Americans. Dawes: Precisely. The loan was defaulted. Panic ensued within these walls. There was a run on the bank! CHAIRMAN: 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? GEORGE: I do not deny it, sir. And I shall be only too glad to assume responsibility for my son. Clerk 1: It was a despicable breach of conduct Clerk 2: You put the bank in peril Clerk 3: You put England in peril Clerk 4: This could have had global ramifications Clerk 5: World economies could have tumbled CHAIRMAN: Yes, yes, yes. What are you waiting for? Get on with it!
Clerk 1,2,3: No, not that! Clerk 4,5: Steady on. CHAIRMAN: Well, do you have anything to say, Banks? GEORGE: Well, sir, they do say that when there's nothing to say, all you can say I- CHAIRMAN: Confound it, Banks! I said, do you have anything to say? GEORGE: Just one word, sir. CHAIRMAN: Yes? GEORGE: Supercalifragilistic- expialidocious. CHAIRMAN, CLERKs, DAWES: What? GEORGE: Supercalifragilistic- expialidocious. Mary Poppins was right. It's extraordinary. It does make you feel better! CHAIRMAN: What are you talking about, man? There's no such word. GEORGE: Oh, yes. It is a word. A perfectly good word, actually. Do you know what there's no such thing as? It turns out, with due respect, when all is said and done, that there's no such thing as you! (all gasp in shock, and murmur, “don’t listen to him” “Mr.Chairman, don’t excite yourself” “Mr. Chairman, don’t get your cholesterol in an uproar over this.” etc) CHAIRMAN: (to clerks) Hush. I’m perfectly fine. (threateningly to George) Impertinence, sir! GEORGE: Speaking of impertinence, would you like to hear a perfectly marvelous joke? A real snapper! CHAIRMAN: Joke? Snapper? GEORGE: Yes. There are these two wonderful young people, Jane and Michael. And they meet one day on the street, and Jane says to Michael, "I know a man with a wooden leg named Smith." and Michael says, "Really? What's the name of his other leg?" CHAIRMAN: The man's gone mad. Call the guard! GEORGE: Supercalifragilistic-expialidocious. I'm feeling better all the time! (attempts to give Chairman tuppence) DAWES: Banks, don't you dare strike my father! GEORGE: There's the tuppence. The wonderful, fateful, Supercalifragilistic- expialidocious tuppence. Guard it well. Good-bye! CHAIRMAN: How dare you. Banks, where are you going? GEORGE: I don't know. I might dance with statues or run around on the rooftops of London. Or I might just fly a kite! (he’s laughing uproariously as he exits.) Dawes: Mad as a march hare. CHAIRMAN: A wooden leg named Smith. A wooden leg named Smith. A wooden le--(starts to laugh uncontrollably. As lights fade) DAWES: Father? Father! Father, are you all right!
