How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Mary Poppins.
Quote #1
MARY: As I expected. "Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way."
Mary has magical measurement tape, which sums up people's personalities. It's one of the first magical objects she acquaints the kids with, and, predictable, it amazes and disturbs them—especially because the measuring tape reveals their own flaws.
Quote #2
BERT: What did I tell ya? There's the whole world at your feet. And who gets to see it but the birds, the stars, and the chimney sweeps.
Bert might be a simple cockney chimney sweep, but he's more capable of amazement and awe than someone like Mr. Banks is. He knows how to see what's right in front of him and be moved by it.
Quote #3
MARY: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious isn't just a word to make you feel happier—although it is that. It's also a way you can express your own feelings of awe and amazement. It's what Mary Poppins says in order to express her feelings after she wins a race, for example.
