• Ellen : [about the visiting lawyers]  The wolves are at the door.

  Michael Banks : What do they want?

  Ellen : Well, a good thrashing, if you ask me.

• Anabel Banks : Can you please get the door? I've got the plumbers here.

  Ellen : That was quick work, wasn't it?

  [handing a mop and towels to Georgie] 

  Ellen : Here, Georgie. Take them.

  [the knocking on the front door continues] 

  Ellen : Yes, I'm coming! Blimey.

  Gooding : [as she opens the door]  Ah! Good morning, mum.

  Ellen : They don't look much like plumbers to me.

  Anabel Banks : I meant on the phone.

  Gooding : We are not plumbers, we are lawyers.

  Ellen : Lawyers? And here's me hoping you might prove useful.

• Ellen : How exactly am I supposed to make breakfast when there's nothing in the larder but pickled herrings and marmalade?

  Michael Banks : The groceries. I meant to go yesterday.

  Ellen : Very well. Pickled herrings for breakfast and marmalade for lunch.

• Ellen : Michael, your briefcase! Blimey, he'd leave his head on the breakfast table if it weren't screwed on.

  Mary Poppins : Here, Ellen. I'll take the briefcase. The children and I are heading that way on an errand. We'll stop by the bank afterwards.

  Jack : I'll give you a lift. My rounds are done.

  Mary Poppins : Wonderful.

  Jack : [leading them to his bicycle]  All aboard, everyone. Come on.

  Anabel Banks : On the bicycle? But there are five of us. We can't all fit.

  John Banks : The weight on those wheels alone. Mary Poppins, how much do you weigh?

  Jack : [her eyes widen in shock]  Never you mind about that. It's all a question of balance.
