is while we've been sitting here

the tide has been coming in.

We're completely cut off.

What are we going to do?

- Do hurry, Mr Potts.

- Everyone stay calm.

Look! They are completely

cut off by the tide.

They will all drown.

I haven't seen a good drowning in years.

- Can I help?

- Push the throttle lever!

- Hurry, Daddy!

- Quickly, before they get here.

- Not that one. The other one.

- It won't start.

We're gonna have to swim for it.

Come on, Jemima.

- We must. Come on, Jeremy.

- Everybody over the side.

Everybody hold on.

- This is impossible.

- Well, you built it.

- You always said it was a magic car.

- I did?

- Look. It's a boat.

- I knew Chitty would save us.

Hang on, everybody. We're off.

A floating car?

What do you think of that, Chancellor?

Yabba, a car, floaten on the waterfol.

This in my whole lifelodes,

this never could be seen, never.

It's uncategorical.

A fuel-burning oracle.

A fantasmagorical machine!

## It's more than spectacular

## To use the vernacular

- It's wizard!

- It's smashing!

## It's keen

## Oh, Chitty, you Chitty,

pretty Chitty Bang Bang

## Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,

we love you

## And, Chitty, our Chitty,

pretty Chitty Bang Bang

## Chitty Chitty Bang Bang loves us, too

## High Chitty, low Chitty, anywhere we go,

on Chitty Chitty we depend

## Bang bang,

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

## Our fine four-fendered friend

They're firing at us!

We'll show them something.

Follow that car!

I want that car!

I must have it!

Follow that car!

I want the car!

I must have it!

Action stations.

We're going ashore.

Get out!

Where are my two spies?

Ah, there you are.

Now, then.

I have a secret mission for you.

You will go ashore and capture

that motor car, understand?

Good. But...

if you fail,

I will cut off your heads.

Now!

I want that car.

- Now, then, vere are we?

- I haf here a map.

I know where we are, stupid!

We are in England.

And ven we are in England,

vat do ve do?

We play cricket.

No. We dress like Englishmen.

Remarkable weather we are having

for the time of the year.

Do you not think so, Cuthbort?

Indubitabably, Basil.

- You know, Mr Potts...

- Caractacus.

- It's a pretty silly name.

- I don't think so.

You know, I really owe you an apology.

You're more than just a father

to those two children.

Nursemaid, private tutor,

chief cook and bottle-washer, everything.

Except what they really need.

- It's been quite a day.

- It certainly has.

Thank you, and say goodbye

to the children for me.

Yes, I will.

- I hope we'll see you again.

- I hope so, too.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

## This lovely, lonely man

## I've only known a day

## I look at him

and cannot look away

## Oh, what a love

## Oh, what a lovely, lonely man

## I've met so many men

## So easy to forget

## I thought I'd grown immune to them

## And yet

## He's such a love

## He's such a lovely, lonely man

## How did he touch my heart?

## How did this feeling start?

## This glow that feels so warm inside

## This sudden summer storm inside

## My life now has a plan

## To someday make him see

## That I need him

as much as he needs me

## Oh, what a love

## Oh, what a lovely, lonely man

## My life now has a plan

## To someday make him see

## Oh, what a lovely, lonely man

## Oh, how I love

## This one and only man

Get over, you halfwit.

It's Father,

and he's in one of his tempers.

There isn't room.

Get out of the way.

Move over, you idiot.

Turn off here.

to be English gentlemen.

So, let us try and behave

like English gentlemen.

Ja, ja, ja.

So, open the door.

Typical English eccentric.

- I don't know.

Caractacus, I'm being kidnapped.

What are you doing?

You come down here.

It's me, your own father.

They won't get away with that.

Hold tight back there.

You're a genius!

It's nothing, really.

We'll catch 'em up.

ta- ta and toodle-oo

## And fare thee well and bon voyage,

## In every foreign strand I land,

the royal trumpets toot me

## The royal welcome mat is out,

they 21- gun salute me

## But monarchies are constantly

commanding me to call

well, you can't oblige 'em all

## Oh, the posh, posh travelling life,

the travelling life for me

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl (English: , Norwegian: [ˈruːɑl ˈdɑːl]; 13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990) was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter, and fighter pilot. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide.Born in Wales to Norwegian immigrant parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. He became a flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander. He rose to prominence as a writer in the 1940s with works for both children and adults, and he became one of the world's best-selling authors. He has been referred to as "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century". His awards for contribution to literature include the 1983 World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, and the British Book Awards' Children's Author of the Year in 1990. In 2008, The Times placed Dahl 16th on its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".Dahl's short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children's books for their unsentimental, macabre, often darkly comic mood, featuring villainous adult enemies of the child characters. His books champion the kindhearted, and feature an underlying warm sentiment. Dahl's works for children include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox, The BFG, The Twits and George's Marvellous Medicine. His adult works include Tales of the Unexpected. more…
