just thought it ironic considering the current circumstances.........
transcript excerpts from mary poppins....in 2 parts - worth the read - and if anyone can find the 5 or so minutes from the movie online, again worth watching.
mr banks is an employee on the bank and has bought his children to the bank to deposit some money.
***********************************************************
Mr. Banks:
Michael, I will not permit you to throw your money away! When we get to the bank, I shall show
you what may be done with your tuppence. And I think you'll find it extremely interesting.
Mr. Dawes:
Hello, Banks. What's all this about?
Mr. Banks:
These are my children, Mr. Dawes.
Mr. Dawes:
Well, so I assumed. But why are they here?
Mr. Banks:
They wish to open an account, sir.
Mr. Dawes:
Oh, indeed?
Mr. Banks:
Yes.
Mr. Dawes:
And just how much money do you have, young man?
Michael:
Tuppence. But I want it to feed the birds.
Mr. Banks:
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
Tuppence? Tuppence? Precisely how I started.
Mr. Banks:
That's the chairman of the bank, the elder Mr. Dawes. A giant in the world of finance.
Michael:
A giant?
Mr. Banks:
Shh, shh, shh.
Mr. Dawes:
Uh, Father, these are Banks's children. They want to open an account.
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
Oh, they do, do they, boy? Excellent. Excellent. We can al-always use, al-always use more
money to, to put to work for the bank, can't we, boy?
So, you have tuppence? May I be permitted to see it?
Michael:
No. I want it to feed the birds!
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
Fiddlesticks, boy! Feed the birds and what have you got? Fat birds!
But if you invest your tuppence
Wisely in the bank
Safe and sound
Soon that tuppence safely invested in the bank
Will compound
And you'll achieve that sense of conquest
As your affluence expands
In the hands of the directors
Who invest as propriety demands
Mr. Banks:
May I, sir?
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
Carry on, Banks.
Mr. Banks:
You see, Michael, you'll be part of...

No, I won't! I want it to feed the birds.
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
Banks!
Mr. Banks:
Yes, sir. Now, Michael.
When you deposit tuppence in a bank account
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
Go on!
Mr. Banks:
Soon you'll see

Mr. Banks:

Client 1:
There's something wrong. The bank won't give someone their money!
Client 2:
Well, I'm going to get mine! Come along, young man! I want every penny!
Client 3:
And mine, too!
Client 4:
And give me mine, too!
Banker:
Stop all payments. Stop all payments.
Mr. Banks:
Michael! Jane!
Michael:
Give me my money!
Mr. Banks:
Children, come back here.
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
Stop those children.
Mr. Banks:

Mr. Dawes (Snr):
Come in!
Take your hat off, Banks.
Mr. Banks:
Good evening, gentlemen.
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
Well, get on with it. Go on.
Mr. Dawes:
Uh, yes, Father. In 1773, an official of this bank, unwisely loaned a large sum of money, to
finance a shipment of tea to the American colonies. Do you know what happened?
Mr. Banks:
Yes, sir. Yes, I think I do. Uh, uh, as the ship lay in Boston harbor, uh, a party of the colonists
dressed as Red Indians, uh, boarded the vessel, behaved very rudely, and, and threw all the
tea overboard. This made the tea unsuitable for drinking, even for Americans.
Mr. Dawes:
Precisely. The loan was defaulted. Panic ensued within these walls. There was a run on the
bank!
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
From that time to this, sir, there has not been a run on this bank until today! A run, sir, caused
by the disgraceful conduct of your son. Do you deny it?
Mr. Banks:
I do not deny it, sir. And I shall be only too glad to assume responsibility for my son.
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
What are you waiting for? Get on with it!
Mr. Dawes:
Uh, y-yes, Father.
Director 1:
No, not that!
Director 2:
Steady on.
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
Well, do you have anything to say, Banks?
Mr. Banks:
Well, sir, they do say that when there's nothing to say, all you can say I-
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
Confound it, Banks! I said, do you have anything to say?
Mr. Banks:
Just one word, sir.
Mr. Dawes (Snr):
Yes?
Mr. Banks:
Supercalifragilistic- expialidocious.
