(BOTH LAUGHING)

- So dreams can come true.

- Yes, they can. Yes, they can, but you have to be practical, too.

- You have to face the facts. Man has to see things as they really are.

- After all, a man with responsibilities can't walk around with his head in the clouds all the time.

- A man should keep his feet solidly on the ground.

- Oh, a man should have his dreams, but a man has to learn to put those dreams to some practical use, not just sit around and think about them all the time.

- Oh, you, pretty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, we love you. And our pretty Chitty Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang loves us too. (2)

- High, low, anywhere we go, on Chitty Chitty we depend. Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, our fine four-fendered friend. (2)

- Bang Bang, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, our fine four-fendered friend. (9)
