Mr Banks:
(He takes her bags out of her hands and sets them down at the bottom of the
steps stage right. Katie Nanna Follows. He waves goodbye as she walks

Mr Banks:

Mrs Banks:

Mr Banks:
They should have been bathed and in bed now, why it’s already 6.15!
(From the back of the room, the constable begins to lead Michael and Jane
up to the stage through the center aisle.)

Mrs Banks:

Ellen:
Michael and leads them off stage left) I knew it. When all’s said and
done, who bears the brunt of everything around here? Me that’s who! They
don’t want an honest good working girl around here. They need a bloomin’
zookeeper.
(Mr Banks – gets his newspaper and sits down in his chair, upstage right.)

Mrs Banks:
was going to be firm with the children.

Page 5/31
Mr Banks:
they’ve all been disasters! We need one who will be firm, respectable, and

rules and ensures discipline at all times.

(Jane and Michael look sadly at each other as Ellen leads them off stage

Mr Banks:

Mary Poppins:
