Poppins Becomes a Lily of the Field, Explained：when my ship comes in
A bored clerk named Poppins would rather build toys than add up figures, and a guest from the Sycamore house offers him their philosophy: "Everybody over at our place does just what he wants to do." The man invites him to try it — "come on over and become a lily" — while at the office Blakely's offer is brushed aside.
あらすじ
Mr. Poppins is a clerk at Kirby's office who secretly makes little toys. A visitor encourages him, tells him the people at their house all do what they please, and invites him to join them. Meanwhile Mr. Blakely tries to interest Mr. Vanderhof in a $100,000 deal, and Poppins decides to walk out.

What's really going on
Poppins spends his days checking figures he cares nothing about, and he admits, "I make up things." He keeps a private plan: someday he will do nothing else. "Someday, when my ship comes in," he says. The visitor answers with the family creed — "Everybody over at our place does just what he wants to do" — and a promise that providence, not a paycheck, keeps them: "The same one that takes care of the lilies of the field." Against that, Blakely's hundred-thousand-dollar talk and his parting shot, "If you leave, Poppins, you needn't come back," sound like exactly the trap the film warns about. Poppins walks out anyway.
Theme
DreamsPoppins would rather build toys than add figures, and the visitor urges him to chase that instead of a paycheck.
MoneyBlakely waves a $100,000 check at Vanderhof, who would rather talk fishing; the Sycamores measure a life without it.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Mr. Poppins stay in a job he dislikes?
He needs the money and the office is strict, but he makes toys on the side and keeps telling himself he will do that full time when his ship comes in; the visitor's offer is what finally pushes him out.
Who invites Poppins to the Sycamore house?
A guest he meets at the office, who tells him everyone at their house does what they like and that providence takes care of them. Poppins takes him up on it and quits.
What does "when my ship comes in" mean here?
It means when his luck finally turns and he has enough money. Poppins uses it to say he will quit the figures and make toys for a living someday.
Why does Blakely tell Poppins he needn't come back?
Because Poppins is walking out with the visitor, and Blakely will not take him back afterward; it is the office's way of punishing the choice to quit.
What does the $100,000 check have to do with the scene?
Blakely is trying to buy something from Mr. Vanderhof and waves the check to close the deal, but Vanderhof keeps changing the subject to fishing and graduations.
