Saving Mr. Banks Page #6

at the thought of visiting

your dollar-printing machine.

Well, for crying out loud,

when does anybody

get to go to Disneyland

with Walt Disney himself?

Disappointments are to the soul

what the thunderstorm is to the air.

Hello?

He...

He hung up. He hung up.

Guys, we gotta fix this.

Father, winds from the east.

The aunt.

Oh, dear.

Now...

I've brought every newfangled

treatment available in Sydney.

Close your mouth, Biddy.

We are not a codfish.

Hmm.

Now, I see a multitude of jobs

that need to be done.

I've just been, um... I've been so worried.

Oh, stop your babbling nonsense.

I'm here now, and I shall fix everything.

I thought I made it perfectly clear

that you two ought to start helping.

Hmm?

Spit-spun

Where are we?

This isn't the way.

Change of venue this morning,

apparently.

Oh...

Wow!

There he is!

Living and breathing.

Oh, boy!

Oh, I can get that.

Mrs. Travers,

welcome to the Magic Kingdom.

IS it all like this?

Yep.

isn't it wonderful?

He'!-

Do you always get

everything you want, Walter?

Pretty much.

With the exception of the rights

to my books, of course.

Well, the war ain't over yet, Pam.

The war ain't over yet.

I love you so much.

Oh, ho!

Sure, sure. Here you go.

Here you go.

Pre-signed?

Hey, you should get hers, too.

This woman is a bonafide genius.

The tour starts this way' Pam.

Hot dog.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Move along, move along. Up, up, up, up!

That's good. That's good.

Each section of the park

has a high point

so you can get your bearings.

In Adventureland, there's a tree.

This is a fun fact, this is a titbit.

"Tidbit. "

It's got three million leaves,

four million flowers.

- Gosh.

- They said only God could make a tree.

Mr. Disney, sir,

would you mind signing this?

No. Do you one better.

Here you go, have a great day.

Oh. Thank you so much.

Mr. Disney!

- Hey.

Where did she come from?

Who?

Oh, I think you know.

She flew in through the window one day.

"Flew in through the window. "

It was just that easy, was it,

Mrs. Travers?

Do you see those spires?

Plated with 24-karat gold.

Roy was against it,

so I waited until he was

out of town to get it done.

How clever.

Now, I know

you don't want to be here,

so, I'm just gonna take you 10 one ride.

My favorite amusement,

and then I'll set you free.

Hello, Mr. Disney!

Hello, folks, how are you? Enjoy the day.

Hey, kids.

Ernie.

Welcome. Right this way.

- Thank you so much.

Excuse me, please.

Mrs. Travers, I would be honored

if you would take a ride on Jingles, here.

This is Mrs. Disney's favorite horse.

No, thank you. I'm happy to watch.

Now, there's no greater joy than that

seen through the eyes of a child,

and there's a little bit

of a child in all of us.

Maybe in you, Mr. Disney,

but certainly not in me.

Get on the horse, Pamela.

Now, when we first met,

you said to me, "They're family. "

I said what?

Mary Poppins, the Banks.

They're family.

The boys have come up with

an idea for your Mr. Banks.

I think it's gonna make you happy.

You didn't bring me all the

way out here to tell me that?

Oh, no, no, no.

I brought you all the way out here

for monetary gain.

I had a wager with the boys.

Couldn't get you on a ride.

I just won 20 bucks.

I see you. I see you.

Well begun is half done.

There you go.

Give it a whack, Biddy. Nice and hard.

Morning, Mrs. Travers.

What horrors have you in store

for my beautiful characters today?

You sit here.

All right.

What are you up to?

We were thinking about what you said,

and you're right.

Mr. Banks isn't cruel. He isn't.

So, we have a new end for the film.

Oh, God, I hope you like it.

Michael says,

"He mended it. It's wonderful. "

"However did you manage it?"

He mended the kite?

With tuppence

for paper and strings

You can have your own set of wings

With your feet on the ground

You're a bird in ight

With your fist holding tight

To the string of your kite

Oh, oh, oh!

Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height

Let's go fly a kite

And send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Oh, let's go y a kite

Then, Mrs. Banks

runs through her house.

She gets the suffragette ribbon,

and says...

"A proper kite deserves a proper tail,

"don't you think?"

Oh, oh, oh!

Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height

Let's go fly a kite

And send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Oh, let's go y a kite

When you send it ying up there

All at once

You're lighter than air

You can dance on the breeze

Over houses and trees

With your fist holding tight

To the string of your kite

Mr. Disney! Walt!

I'm sorry to interrupt.

It's just that she's dancing.

Mrs. Travers. She's dancing with Don.

Oh, oh, oh!

Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height

Let's go fly a kite

And send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Oh, let's go y a kite

He... He fixes the kite.

Oh, I love it.

Although, the proper English would be,

"Let us go and y a kite. "

Let us go and y a kite

I might be willing to overlook that.

All right.

Very good.

Look at you.

I rewrote the poem, Father.

The aunt gave me tuppence.

Shall I buy you something, Father'?

Pears.

Pears.

Father.

Tuppence for pears,

pears, pears, pears.

Tuppence for pears,

pears, pears, pears.

You're quite right, you know'?

It is beautiful.

Exquisite.

It's always new.

So, Jolly Holiday is in?

Mmm. By all means.

Wonderful.

I do have a question about it, actually.

How in the world does

Mr. Disney propose to

train all the penguins to dance?

I've heard about

his implausibly-leaved trees.

So, I presume he does have

some insane

penguin-wrangling scheme.

But it does seem a little

far-fetched, even for him.

Can you train a penguin to dance?

No, I don't think you can train...

- They're animated.

- Dick...

- They're what?

- Cartoons.

Dick!

What?

Are we getting real penguins?

Yes, 2:
00, Tuesday.

Good afternoon, Mrs. Travers.

I'm hereto see Mr. Disney.

Oh, please, have a...

Mrs. Travers, please!

Disney!

Mrs. Travers?

Mrs. Travers!

I'm terribly sorry, Walt.

It's all right, Tommie.

Just close the door.

I never let anyone see me smoking.

I hate to encourage bad habits.

Please, sit down.

I shall not sit in the seat of a trickster,

a fraudster, a sneak!

Pamela!

Mrs. "Travers,"

please!

Mrs. Travers,

what has you so upset now?

Penguins.

Penguins have very much

upset me, Mr. Disney.

Animated dancing penguins.

Now, you have... You have seduced me

with the music, Mr. Disney.

Yes, you have.

Those Sherman boys

have quite turned my head.

But I shall not be moved upon

the matter of cartoons, sir.

Not one inch!

It is a sequence.

You promised me.

You promised me that this film

would not be an animation!

And it isn't.

So, they're real penguins?

No. No, they are animated.

But the actors, you see,

the actors are very, very much real.

Foolish old woman.

Have a good day, Mr. Disney.
