Admiral Boom: [observes the long queue of want-to-be nannies] Ghastly looking crew, I must say! Mr. Dawes, Sr.: While stand the banks of England, England stands — whoa, whoa...! [Mr. Dawes stumbles over his own cane] When fall the banks of England... ENGLAND FALLS! [Mr. Dawes falls backward and the rest of the Board of Directors have to catch him] Uncle Albert: The other day, when it was so cold, a friend of mine went to buy some long underwear. The shopkeeper said to him, "How long you want it?" And my friend said, "Well, from about September to March." Old Crone: Come with me, my dears. Granny'll hide you!

Admiral Boom: Time Gun ready? Mr. Binnacle: Ready and charged, Sir. Admiral Boom: Three minutes and six seconds. Mr. Binnacle: Aye, aye, sir. Bert: [to the audience] What he's famous for is punctuality [touches his nose as he says this]. The whole world takes its time from Greenwich. But Greenwich they say, takes its time from Admiral Boom. [calling up to the admiral] What cheer, Admiral? Admiral Boom: Good afternoon to you, young man. Where are you bound? Bert: Number 17. Got some parties who want to see it. Admiral Boom: Enter that in the log. Mr. Binnacle: Aye, aye, sir. Admiral Boom: A word of advice, young man. Storm signals are up at number 17. Bit of heavy weather brewing there. Bert: Thank you sir! Keep an eye skinned.

Winifred Banks: What is it, Katie Nanna? Katie Nanna: Mrs. Banks, I have something to say to you. Winifred Banks: Where are the children? Katie Nanna: The children, madam, to be precise, are not here. They've disappeared again. Winifred Banks: Katie Nanna, this is really too careless of you. Doesn't it make the third time this week? Katie Nanna: The fourth, madam. And I for one have had my fill of it. I'm not one to speak ill of the children, but... Winifred Banks: Oh, please, when do you expect them home? Katie Nanna: I really couldn't say. And now if you'd be good enough to compute my wages, I'll... Winifred Banks: Oh, gracious, Katie Nanna! You're not leaving? What will Mr. Banks say? He's going to be cross enough as it is to come home and find the children missing. Ellen, put these things away. You know how the cause infuriates Mr. Banks. Ellen: Yes, ma'am. Winifred Banks: Katie Nanna, I beseech you. Please reconsider. Think of the children. Think of Mr. Banks. He was just beginnin

Jane: Father? George: Yes? Jane: We've discussed everything, and we're very sorry about what we did today. George: I should certainly think so. Jane: It was wrong to run away from Katie Nanna. George: It was indeed. Jane: And we do so want to get on with the new nanny. George: Very sensible. I shall be glad to have your help in the matter. Jane: We thought you would. That's why we wrote this advertisement. George: Advertisement for what? Jane: For the new nanny. George: You wrote an advert... Winifred: George, I think we should listen. Jane: You said you wanted our help. George: But, I... oh, very well. Jane: [reads an ad she and Michael wrote] Wanted: a nanny for two adorable children. George: Adorable — well that's highly debatable, I must say. Jane: If you want this choice position, have a cheery disposition... George: Jane, I don't... [Winifred silences him.] Jane: Rosy cheeks, no ... Michael: That's the part I put in! Jane: Play games all sorts. You must be kind, you must be witty
