Quinn: "Hello, everybody! Welcome to another episode of Hamilton Reacts to Stuff!" Quinn said as she blinked her crystal blue orbs, her hair flowing gently in the breeze.
Hamilton: What was that?
Quinn: That was my impersonation of a Mary Sue. Not bad, huh? Anyway, we're back from our trip to London and ready for more reaction fun.
Laurens: The bomber simulator was so cool!!
Herc: I almost puked. It was the best day of my life.
Angelica: It was definitely exciting. It was interesting, stepping into the life of a soldier. Hopefully it taught Heather some respect.
Quinn: Oh, I'm sure she learned a lesson she won't soon forget. Welp, let's get into today's request. The winner of this week's Ham4Ham is... DD_287 ! Congratulations! Here is what they requested.
Eliza: Oh, we've seen Mary Poppins Returns many times now!
Laurens: Yeah, that movie's great!
Samuel: It's probably my favorite movie. I mean, I haven't seen a lot of movies, but Mary Poppins Returns would be my favorite I've seen.
Hamilton: *rolls his eyes*
Madison: Hamilton, even you can't deny the music and performances are good.
Hamilton: So we're all just gonna kiss the ground of Lin-Manuel McWhatsisname.
Quinn: Well, don't worry, Hammy. Today we'll be watching the original Mary Poppins, which came out well before Lin-Manuel was born. And here to join us is a special guest! Please welcome @DD_287 herself...Dani!
[ENTER Dani]
Dani: Hey, everyone!
Quinn: Welcome to Hamilton Reacts, Dani. We're glad to have you!
Dani: *grins* Aw, thanks. Also, I brought lots of snacks and stuff for the movie. *starts passing out candy and chips to everyone*
Laurens: Oh, thanks!
Herc: We instantly like anyone who brings us food. It's a well-known fact about us.
Philip and Theo: *sitting in a big cardboard box on the floor next to it, hoarding lots of candy*
Burr: You two haven't gotten tired of that box yet, huh?
Philip: No, sir! It's our fort!
Theo: Also, can someone get us that blanket? *points to a blanket folded on the couch*
Dani: I got it. *hands blanket*
Theo: Thank you. And can you put it over the top? Like a roof?
Dani: *nods and stretches blanket over the open top of the box*
Theo: Thanks!
[Giggling, whispering and rustling candy wrappers can be heard from inside]
Susan: *tiptoes over to the box and kinda stands over it*
Theo: Huh? Is someone there? *lifts the blanket a bit and pokes her head out* Oh, hey, Susan.
Susan: *staring at her feet*
Theo: Do you wanna come in?
Susan: *nods, a hint of an eager smile on her lips*
Theo: Okay!
Philip: We usually climb in like this: climb onto the arm thingy on the couch *points to the armrest* and jump in.
Theo: But she's little. She might get hurt. Wait... I've got a better idea. *hoists herself onto the couch from the box and climbs out*
Philip: *follows her*
Theo: *tips the box onto its side so it looks like a cave, drapes the blanket overtop like a canopy. There! Now we can still watch the movie!
Philip, Theo, and Susan: *crawl into fort and let their heads stick out from under the blanket, grinning*
Quinn: Okay, so the original Mary Poppins was first released in 1964, and it starred Dick van Dyke and human beam of sunshine Julie Andrews. I watched this movie a lot growing up, and I still have a soft spot for it, so I'm really happy I get to share it with you guys now. *turns it on*
Theo: Hey, I just realized something: we were in London last week! Where Mary Poppins lives!
Burr: *chuckles* Too bad you didn't see her, huh?
Theo: *looks at Burr like he's dumb* Mary Poppins isn't real, Dad.
Burr: *looks deflated*
King George: My word, what unholy abomination is that man's British accent? Is he mocking me?!
Quinn: It was supposed to be good...
King George: Treason! His whole family is charged with treason! Off with their heads!!!
Hamilton: *sighs and buries his face in his hands* This is gonna be a long movie...
Theodosia: (At Life I Lead) This reminds me of you, Aaron. A man of routine.
Burr: *grins sheepishly* I like knowing what comes next.
King George: *shudders* DO YOU WISH TO HAVE YOUR HEAD OFF TOO?!
Angelica: (At Sister Suffragate) I really like Mrs. Banks already. Votes for women! *pumps fist*
Peggy: Geez, you would think they'd have a better handle on their children...
Hamilton: (At Perfect Nanny) Oh my gosh! What an awful father!
Eliza: That letter was important to them, and he just let it burn. That's terrible.
Dani: (When the nannies all blow away and Mary Poppins comes) *chilling with Herc and Laff* Oh, I love this part.
Angelica: *chuckles at Mary Poppins* I like her, too.
Philip: You're kinda like Mary Poppins, Aunt Angelica.
Angelica: *smiles, amused* You think so?
Philip: Yeah. Except nicer.
Jefferson: To you, maybe.
Angelica: *gives Thomas a sickly sweet smile*
Eliza: (At Spoonful of Sugar) Oh, I like this song! If only messy children's rooms could be cleaned that easily. *grins teasingly at Philip*
Philip: *giggles*
Peggy: (At Jolly Holiday) I ship it!
Laurens: *stands up and offers Peggy his arm, says in Bert's voice* Ello, Peggy! Fancy a stroll?
King George: I swear, urchin, if you push me any further, you shall regret it with the utmost remorse.
Peggy: *giggles and takes John's arm*
Laurens: *strolls around the room to the tune of the song* Oh, it's a jolly 'oliday with Peggy... Peggy makes your 'eart so light! When the day gets grey and ordinary... Peggy makes the sun shine bright!
Peggy: *bright red and giggling, snorts*
Angelica: *glares daggers at King George* If you ruin this, Georgie, I swear that you wll regret it with the utmost remorse.
King George: *stares at Angelica, his eyes little slits* I'll allow it, but only because I wish to keep watching the movie. Look away from me now.
Angelica: *smirks and turns back to the movie*
Hamilton: (At Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) What... that's not even a real word.
Jefferson: That's the point, Hamilton. Anything can be a word if you give it a meaning.
Hamilton: I'm coming up with a lot of words for you right now.
Dani: C'mon, guys, just calm down. You're both two smart to be bickering like this.
Hamilton: *quickly stops and turns away to prove he's smarter*
Jefferson: *rolls eyes*
Susan: (At Stay Awake) *yawns, folds her arms, and rests her head on them*
Philip: Why is she telling them to stay awake if she's singing them to sleep?
Hamilton: That's called reverse psychology, Philip. If you become a lawyer like me someday, you'll learn a lot about that.
Philip: *looks at the camera like Simba at "Pumbaa, not in front of the kids!"*
Martha: This scene is very sweet.
Washington: I haven't seen the new one, but I'm enjoying this one very much.
Philip: You haven't seen Mary Poppins Returns, Papa George?
Washington: No, son, I haven't.
Philip: Why not?
Washington: *smiles* Because when your family went to see it, I stayed behind to babysit you.
Philip: *blinks in surprise, then grins, a mix of affection and embarrassment on his face*
Angelica: (At I Love to Laugh) *chuckles* Reminds me of Alexander and his friends.
Laurens: And Burr is Mary Poppins in this scene.
Burr: *straight faced and annoyed*
Laurens: See?! They're twinsies!
Samuel: (At Step in Time) Oh, they're like the lamplighters from the second movie!
Philip and Theo: *cackling with laughter at this scene*
Quinn: Which would you guys rather be: a leerie or a chimney sweep?
Laff: I am not sure... both are very messy jobs... I do like the dancing the leeries do, though. I guess a leerie. I will hold the ladder, and another leerie can trip the light.
Philip: I wanna be a chimney sweep! *runs over to Alex and tips his imaginary hat* Thank you, gov'na!
Hamilton: *chuckles* You're crazy.
Philip: *laughs and runs back into the fort*
Eliza: (At Let's Go Fly a Kite) *tearing up a bit* This ending is beautiful... they're such a sweet little family. Alexander, we should go fly a kite together. As a family.
Hamilton: *chuckles* Whatever you want, my love.
Philip and Theo: *skipping around the room, with Susan following behind* Let's go fly a kite! Up to the highest height! Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring...
All: Up to the atmosphere! Up where the air is clear! Let's all go... fly a kite! *laughs*
Quinn: So, what did you guys think?
Dani: I love that movie!
Peggy: It was so good! The new one's still my favorite, but this one is great, too!
Angelica: This one reminded me a lot of the new one, actually. In some ways, they were the same movie.
Laurens: Yeah, I noticed that, too. Like the story and stuff, and even some of the songs were a lot alike.
Quinn: Which do you guys like better?
Eliza: It's hard. I like them both.
Samuel: I agree. This is my other favorite movie now.
Dani: The new one is my favorite, but I like them both a lot.
Hamilton: I liked this one for sure. Not just becasue that Lin guy isn't in it, it was just more... I don't know. Magical, I guess.
Madison: I agree with Hamilton, this one was my favorite.
Maria: I haven't seen the new one, but I loved this movie. *quietly sings Feed the Birds*
Laurens: I do think the dancing was better in the new one, though. And there was a lot more of it.
Theodosia: Yeah, I love the dancing in the new one. But I think I might like this one better. I really liked the Mary Poppins in this one.
King George: While that "Bert" fellow ought to be hanged for his crimes against the king's English, I did like Mary Poppins. Her voice was resplendant.
Quinn: That was Julie Andrews! She's amazing, isn't she?
Theo: I wish Mary Poppins was real...
Philip: Yeah, me too.
Dani: We all need a Mary Poppins.
Quinn: We really do. Now you guys need to watch Saving Mr. Banks! It's about the author of the Mary Poppins books, and how the series got turned into a movie!
Samuel: Oh, that sounds interesting.
Quinn: It is. the author, P.L. Travers, was very protective of her books and characters, and she felt like Disney was going to ruin them.
Hamilton: She was thinking of her legacy... she wanted to keep her legacy protected.
Quinn: Exactly. It's a great movie. Well, I guess that's all for today. It's been great having you, Dani.
Dani: *beams* Aw, thank you so much!
Quinn: Of course! You wanna close us out?
Dani: Thanks for watching, everyone! We'll see you next time on Hamilton Reacts to Stuff!
Everyone: Bye!
