Right. Thing is, I haven’t hired a nanny. I don’t need a nanny. I’m managing perfectly well. I never had a nanny because I don’t want any army nanny.
Nanny McPhee
Mrs. Green, I have been deployed.
Isabel
No, no, no, no there must be some mistake everything’s under control from hell. That’s Cyril, he’s not one of mine this is his cousin. He is parasitically. Not a very good influence indeed may come in. Must you i mean yes of course you must… perhaps later.

Exploring the Land of Poo
Celia
Where are we?
Cyril
We're in the land of poo. Duck poo, hen poo, cow poo, goat poo. Poo as far as the eye can see.
Blenkinsop
Here we are then. Out you get.
Cyril
In fact, it's a British museum of poo.
Celia
Have you gone completely insane, Blenkinsop? Mummy would never send me to a place like this. Take me home. You see?! They are savages. I refuse to leave the car!
[Screams as Vincent frightens her]
Cyril
Oh, put a sock in it, Cels! We've got no choice.
Celia
Take me home right now!
Cyril
And you know why we haven't got a choice too. So let's just stop pretending we're here because of bombs.
Cyril
Greetings, all covered-in-poo people. Do you speak English?
Norman
You're early.
Cyril
Yes, poo man. We've come from far away. Far. From the land of soap and indoor toilets.

Family Tensions Over Preserved Jam

No! It’s dad’s!

Megsie
Dad’s jam! We preserved sugar for months to make her, you touch her and I'll spread on your face.
Cyril
Ups! I touched her!
Celia
I’m going to wake up and this will all be a nasty dream. I’m going to to wake up and I’ll be in hers with mommy the shoes department. My maid tells they’ve arrived, so mommy and I have come to collect them but you haven’t fetch them for me. I’m going to wake up and there’ll be some pink paint and pumps my par mod with a matching cloak and I the doe hit day.
Norman
That's it. They die.
[Cyril has just indirectly shattered Mr. Green's jam jar]
