Jane: I do wish we could go up there.

Michael: So do I! I like chimneys.

Bert: Oh, rightly so! A chimney is a wondrous thing. She's built tall right up there on the roof. When the wind is just right, it blows across her top, then draws the smoke right up the flue. Here. Feel the pull on the end of that brush. It's like I got a whale on the end of the line, ain't it? Michael!

Mary Poppins: Be careful. You never know what may happen around a fireplace. Oh, bother!

Maddie: Michael! Michael, come back down here. Michael! Michael, where are you?

Pippa: Well, that's a bit awkward. I must say!

Martha Poppins: Bert and Pippa, I'll thank you two to stop putting ideas in their heads! There goes the other two.

Bert: Shall I go after 'em?

Mary Poppins: Well, we can't have them gallivanting up there like kangaroos, can we?

Jane: Michael, don't be frightened. Everything's going--

Martha Poppins: Will you put your things on at once? Hurry up, please. Spit spot!

Pippa: Here you are! I thought you'd left us.

Maddie: We didn't mean to.

Bert: Well, no harm done. The truth is, this is what you might call a fortuitous circumstance. Look there. A trackless jungle just waiting to be explored. Why not, Mary Poppins, Martha Poppins, and Pippa?

Jane: Oh, please, Mary Poppins, Martha Poppins, and Aunt Pippa?

Michael: Please!

Mary Poppins: Oh, well. If we must, we must. Fall in. Look lively, look lively. Jump to it! Jump to it! Get in line. Attention! A-show arms! A-right turn! Quick march!

Michael: Hello there!

Bert: It's just good, clean soot, Michael.

Pippa: As far as we go, right?

Martha Poppins: Not at all.

Bert: What did I tell ya? There's the whole world at your feet. And who gets to see it, but the birds, the stars and the chimney sweeps?

Mary Poppins: Quite nice, but we should all get in out of the night air. Follow me, please.
