Jane: An outing with father?

Mary Poppins: Yes.

Michael: I don't believe it!

Jane: He's never taken us on an outing before.

Michael: He's never taken us anywhere!

Jane, Mary Poppins: However did you manage it?

Mary Poppins: Manage what?

Jane: You must have put the idea in his head somehow.

Mary Poppins: What an impertinent thing to say! Me, putting ideas into people's heads? Really!

Jane: Where's he taking us?

Mary Poppins: To the bank.

Jane: Oh Michael, the city! We'll see all the sights and father can point them out to us!

Mary Poppins: Well, most things he can. Sometimes a person we love, through no fault of their own, can't see past the end of his nose.”
