• Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff : How would you like to come over to our house and work on your gadgets?

  Poppins : Really?

  Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff : Mmm-hmmmm.

  Poppins : That must be wonderful. But how would I live?

  Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff : The same way we do.

  Poppins : The same way? Well who takes care of you?

  Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff : The same One that takes care of the lilies of the field, Mr. Poppins, except that we toil a little, spin a little, have a barrel of fun. If you want to, come on over and become a lily too.

• Poppins : The die is cast. I'm a lily!
