- Now, that's a good question.

- Do they say "please" and "thank you"?

- In what context?

- That will do to be going on with.

- [child laughs wickedly]

- Your children need me.

- [china shatters]

I'll go and make sure everything's

in order before I introduce you.

I shall introduce myself.

Please, Mr Brown,

go back to your newspaper.

- [tiny bells tinkling]

- [clattering and wild yelling]

[children squeal and yell]

[muffled shouting]

Oh, look.

The door's open and there's nobody there.

[muffled shrieks]

I am here.

I am Nanny McPhee.

Oh, did...did somebody speak?

- I didn't hear anything.

- That's because nobody's there.

- [gasps]

- [clanging]

Then listen carefully and try to hear this.

Stop what you are doing,

put the kitchen to rights

and go upstairs to bed.

[muffled shouts]

- Did you hear what I said?

- I've just had an idea.

Why don't we play here

in the kitchen all night long?

Let's, let's!

- Excellent notion.

- [Sebastian] Tomatoes!

Jump! Jump, jump! Jump!

- [magical wind rushes]

- [Chrissie] Jump, jump, jump, jump!

Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump...jump...

- jump.

- [whines]

- [creaking]

- [magical wind rushes]

Government nanny?

[crashing thud]

[Chrissie] What's she done?

- [Eric] She's done something to us!

- They went in the pot!

[Chrissie] I can't stop!

[Eric] She banged her stick!

[Chrissie] I'm going to be sick!

[yells and squeals]

- [Eric] It must be magic!

- [Lily] What's happening?

- [Lily] Please, Simon, let's stop!

- We've got to stop!

- Let's stop!

- Let's stop!

- Well, stop if you want, then!

- We can't!

It's her fault!

It started when she banged the stick!

- [Chrissie] I can't stop!

- [Eric] Slow down!

Simon!

Come on, whoever you are!

Let's stop this and go to bed!

- Say "please".

- I never say "please".

Very well.

- Please!

- Please!

- Don't touch Aggy!

- Wait!

Say it!

Actually, Simon, would you,

because this baby's gonna blow!

- And Aggy's gonna go in the stockpot!

- Put her back, Chrissie!

Oh, for goodness' sake! Please, then!

[Chrissie] Take Aggy off me!

Please, Nanny McPhee.

[Tora] Chrissie, don't!

- Say it!

- [Eric] Take Aggy out!

- [Tora] No, Lily!

- Say it!

Simon!

- [Lily] I can't stop myself!

- [pots clatter musically]

Please, Nanny McPhee.

[Lily] I'm going to jump!

Too late!

[magical wind rushes]

[tiny bell rings]

Blimey.

Up to bed, please.

Goodnight, Mrs Blatherwick.

Goodnight, Evangeline.

[servants] Goodnight, Nanny McPhee.

When Mr Brown said no dinner,

I thought they'd be down in a trice.

They've been ever so quiet.

Don't you fret.

They don't dare come in this kitchen.

I have it in writing.

[sighs contentedly]

- Be careful, Aggy.

- [jingling]

It's Mama's rattle,

and it's the only thing we've got of hers.

[Aggy gurgles]

- What on earth are you doing?

- Getting ready for bed.

- What she told us to do.

- Since when did we do what we're told?

Since we nearly got Cook blown up

and Aggy boiled.

May I just remind you of something?

We got rid of the last nannies.

We're getting rid of this one too.

[children all shout]

Fine! Be brave, then!

Yes, well, I nearly got blown up!

And anyway, l...

[magical tinkling]

Hm.

You must feel at such a disadvantage,

Nanny McPhee.

In what way?

We know your name

but you don't know ours.

[other children giggle]

Pleased to meet you.

I'm Oglington Fartworthy.

- [farty noise]

- [giggling]

How do you do?

That's F-A-R-T.

- Fartworthy.

- [giggling swells]

Booger McHorsefanny.

Knickers O'Muffin.

Sandra.

Bum.

I'm Bum!

Oh. Bosoms.

[children giggle]

Bum.

You can't be Bum, Aggy.

Sebastian's Bum. You're Poop.

Poop Bum.

You can't be Poop and Bum.

- [children laughing]

- [Aggy giggles then stops]
