Ralph : Hey, sun came out again.
P.L. Travers : You say it as if you're surprised, as if the sun were particular about for whom it appears. It seems you think I am responsible for its miraculous dawning every day. For heaven's sake, it's California.
Ralph : Certainly is!
P.L. Travers : I'd so much rather be accountable for the rain.
Ralph : Oh, that's sad.
P.L. Travers : Sad is entirely the wrong emotion. I shan't bother explaining why. It would just... Zip!
Ralph : Huh. Okey-dokey.
P.L. Travers : The rain brings life.
Ralph : So does the sun.

Ralph : Yes, ma'am.

[Ralph is helping Travers build a grass and mud-made castle]
Ralph : I got a kid.
P.L. Travers : Most people do.
Ralph : Jane. Yeah. What a terrific kid. Beautiful little girl. She's got a lot of problems, though. She's handicapped, you know? She's in a wheelchair. See, and that's why I concern myself with the weather so much. Sunny day, she can sit outside in the garden. Rainy day, I gotta leave her cooped up inside. I worry about the future, but you can't do that. Only today.
