EXT. AN ABANDONED PARK - CONTINUOUS An abandoned park with an unused fountain at its center, shrouded in darkness. The street lamps and pathways of the park are silhouetted only by moonlight. One by one, gas lamps flick on, revealing leeries on every lamppost - until the entire park is glowing with brilliant light. DANCE SEQUENCE - which includes Jack, Maddie, and all the leeries spinning on lampposts and performing spectacular stunts on their bicycles. The Leeries all dance round their lamp posts, jumping on and off. Jack and Maddie join them, tipping their hats to Angus and the other Leeries. Angus flirts with Maddie and dances with her which makes Jack jealous. Jack and a small group of Leeries dance in front of Mary Poppins, Martha Poppins, and the children. They join the other Leeries on lamp posts as other Leeries on bikes perform amazing stunts and parkour over traveling ladders, followed by a ladder section. Jack, Angus, Maddie, and the crew dance, jumping up and spinning round the lamp posts. At the end of it, ANGUS bounds over to the children.
ANGUS: Come along - join us in a bit of kick and prance.
JOHN: What did he say?
JACK: Kick and prance - it means "dance." It's leerie speak. You don't say the word you mean; you say something that rhymes, only - (It's hard to describe:) Here, I'll show you how it works. Angus... GIVE US YOUR WEEP AND WAIL (more) (To the children, aside:) TO THE REST OF YA, THAT MEANS: "TALE"
ANGUS: I WAS SHORT OF A SHEET.
MADDIE: HE WAS IN THE STREET.
ANGUS: JUST TO TUMBLE DOWN THE SINK.
JACK: JUST TO GET HIMSELF A DRINK.
ANGUS: THEN I PINCHED WHAT'S FATTER.
MADDIE: HE GRABBED HIS LADDER.
ANGUS: TO SMILE AND SMIRK.
JACK, MADDIE, AND ANGUS TO WORK!
MADDIE: You see? There's nothing to it.
ANNABEL: Can you two speak leerie, Mary and Martha Poppins?
MARY POPPINS: (A wide-eyed glance:) Can we speak leerie?
JACK: Of course they can. They're Mary and Martha Poppins!
JORDAN: Can we do it with you two?
ANNABEL AND JOHN: Please?
MARTHA POPPINS: Oh, very well then.
MADDIE: Children... TELL US YOUR SORRY TALE.
THE LEERIES: GIVE US YOUR WEEP AND WAIL!
JOHN: Well... WE HAD THIS BOWL...
MARY POPPINS: RABBIT IN THE HOLE.
ANNABEL: THAT FELL AND BROKE...
MARTHA POPPINS: BICYCLE SPOKE.
JOHN: SO WE TOOK IT TO A SHOP...
MARY POPPINS: LIKE A LOLLIPOP.
JORDAN: AND WENT UPSIDE-DOWN!
MARTHA POPPINS: THAT'S A CIRCUS CLOWN.
JOHN: THEN WENT TO THE BANK...
MARY POPPINS: RATTLE AND CLANK.
ANNABEL: GOT LOST IN THE FOG...
MARTHA POPPINS: LUMP ON A LOG.
JOHN: TILL WE FOUND A FRIEND AND OUR AUNT...
MARY POPPINS: TO STAND AND DEFEND AND BE PROUD.
ANNABEL: WHO TOOK US ON A TRIP...
MARTHA POPPINS: SNAP A HORSE'S WHIP
THE CHILDREN: (Loudly:) AND WE TRIPPED A LITTLE LIGHT FANTASTIC!
