  • Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
    Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Act One The story begins in Mr. Coggins' Junkyard, where Mr. Coggins is describing the last race of a great race car ("Opening"). The English car was the star of her day, but she met her end during the British Grand Prix of 1910, when the Vulgarians sabotaged her. Now she is a lonely wreck, with only two children, Jeremy and Jemima, to care for her. The children have come to love the old car, and they are shocked when Coggins tells them he must sell it. He promises them that if they can raise 30 shillings, they can have the car. Meanwhile, Truly Scrumptious has arrived at the junkyard, searching for a part for her motorcycle. She is distressed to see the two children out of school. As they leave, two Vulgarian spies enter. They have been searching for the legendary car for years and are determined to get it before the children. Truly takes the children home and meets their father, Caractacus Potts. The Potts patriarch shows Truly his many amazing inventions, including a new type of candy. Truly and Potts argue about how he is raising the children, and she leaves. Potts and the children prepare to eat ("You Two"). Jeremy and Jemima tell their father about Coggins' offer to sell the car, and he promises them he will try to come up with the 30 shillings to purchase the vehicle. Later, Grandpa tries the new candy his son has invented and realizes that it can make a beautiful whistling sound. The next day, Potts and the children pay a visit to the Scrumptious Sweet Factory, trying to sell his new candy, which he calls Toot Sweets.
