Dialogue

Lucy: Stay out of sight until London. Paddington: But...aren't you coming? Lucy: I am too old and too tired to go any further. Paddington: Oh. Then what will you do? Lucy: Oh, don't you worry about me. I will be safe in the Home for Retired Bears. [before Paddington could speak, she raises her hand] But it is not yet time for you to retire. You must find a new home...in London. Paddington: But... But I don't know anyone there. What if they don't even like bears? Lucy: You know, there was once a war in the explorer's country. Thousands of children were sent away for safety, [puts a label around Paddington's neck] left at railway stations with labels around their necks, and unknown families took them in and loved them like their own. They will not have forgotten how to treat a stranger. [puts a red hat on his head] Now take care, my darling. Remember your manners. [hears a group of people] And keep safe. [kisses Paddington, then walks away]

Dialogue

Mrs. Bird: Batten down the hatches, young'un! There'll be a storm tonight. Mary: Well, the radio said it was clearing up. Mrs. Bird: [scoffs] "Radio"? I feel it in my knees. My knees never lie. Jonathan: [runs in the room] Guess what, Mrs. Bird? We found a bear! Mrs. Bird: Uh-huh. Jonathan: A real bear from Peru! Mrs. Bird: Oh, that's nice, dear. Jonathan: [confused] You don't seem very surprised. Mrs. Bird: Oh, I was surprised when they came up with the microwave oven. [glares at a microwave oven] And I still don't trust you.

[slams on door] Paddington, what is going on in there? Paddington: Uh, nothing. Ah, I'm just having a spot of bother with the facilities.

Dialogue

Henry: [referring to Paddington] That animal is going straight to the authorities! Mary: But what about the explorer? Henry: There is no explorer! I'm not putting this family in danger while you go on some wild goose chase. First thing tomorrow, that bear is out of here!

Dialogue

Mary: [opens the hatch] Can't you sleep? [Paddington shakes his head, as if to say "no"] Me neither. [enters the attic] Paddington: I do wish we could've found the explorer. Mary: I know, Paddington. But I've been looking everywhere and I still can't find any mention of an English expedition in Peru. Paddington: But there really was an explorer, Mrs. Brown. [points to the hat he's wearing] He gave my uncle this hat. Mary: What, that was the explorer's hat? Paddington: Mm-hmm. Why? Mary: [referring to Mr. Gruber, gasps] I've got a friend who runs an antique shop in the Portobello Road. He knows all about old things like your hat. Paddington: Oh? Mary: It's just possible he could help us find your explorer. Paddington: Oh, that would be wonderful. But didn't Mr. Brown say...? Mary: [interrupts Paddington] Don't you worry about Mr. Brown. As far as he's concerned, we're going to the authorities. But I'm not standing by while there's a chance to find you a proper home. Now make sure you ge

Dialogue

Mr. Curry: [from his window] Heck of a racket coming from your way last night, Brown. Henry: [turns around] Oh, hello, Mr. Curry. I'm sorry if we disturbed you. Paddington: Good morning. Mr. Curry: [looks at Paddington] I don't believe I've had the pleasure. Mary: Mr. Curry, this is Paddington. Jonathan: He's a bear! Mr. Curry: I can see that. You must be a long way from home. Paddington: I'm from Darkest Peru. Mr. Curry: Ah. Henry: Don't worry, Mr. Curry, he's going. [the Browns walk away] Mr. Curry: Just as well. Don't wanna be kept by any of your loud jungle music. [closes his window]

Dialogue

Mr. Gruber: [sees Mary] Ah, Mrs. Brown, come in! Paddington: You must be Mr. Gruber. Mr. Gruber: And you must be the young gentleman whose hat sounds so fascinating. Welcome. You're just in time for elevenses.

Dialogue

Mr. Gruber: Every morning it arrives at 11:00 bringing salvation. [puts nuts in his coffee] Just like a train that I took many years ago. Paddington: Really? [eats a treat] Mr. Gruber: Oh yes. You see, there was a lot of trouble in my country. So my parents sent me all the way across Europe, [a vision of Mr. Gruber's pats appears] when I was not much older than you are now. Paddington: Was it hard to find a home? Mr. Gruber: I had a great aunt who once took me in. [a distant voice can be heard] But I soon learned a home is more than a roof over your head. [steam, the vision disappears] My body had traveled very fast. But my heart, she took a little longer to arrive. But now I should like to take a look at your hat. Paddington: Oh, thank you. [he gives Mr. Gruber his hat] Mr. Gruber: Unusual color. But it is hard to say how much of that is original, and how much... [pulls out a sandwich] Marmalade? Paddington: My uncle always kept a marmalade sandwich in his hat, in case of emergency. M

Dialogue

Judy: Hey, Paddington. Have you seen the paper? [gives Paddington the newspaper] Paddington: Gosh. Jonathan: You've already been in London a day, and you're already famous. Paddington: Oh. Judy: I'm sorry if I wasn't very nice before. It's just...it's a new school and I didn't want everyone to think I was weird. Paddington: Oh, I understand, Judy. It's not easy being somewhere new. Judy: No, it isn't. Henry: [offscreen, faintly] He put earwax on my toothbrush! [Judy laughs] Paddington: Things can be very different from how you imagined. Jonathan: Oh, don't let him bother you. Dad's always been boring and annoying. Mrs. Bird: Oh, don't know 'bout that. More to your father than meets the eye. Jonathan: Like what? Mrs. Bird: Well, when I first met him, he was a very different man. Mary: WHOOOOOO!!!!! Ya-aay!!! Woo-hoo!!! Henry: That's my girl! [he and Mary stop at the hospital] Mary: Not gonna let this change us, right? Henry: No way, baby! [they high-5 each other] Mary: We're having a ba

Dialogue

Paddington: [as he's being blown by blow dryers] Wind! Hot wind! 2 hot winds! I don't like it! [the blowing stops, offscreen] Well, I hope I don't look weird after all that. [onscreen, his fur stands up] Judy: Too much? Jonathan: Too much. [laughs] Paddington: "Too much"? Then get me a brush, will you. Mrs. Bird: Ah, there it is. [pulls out a duffle coat] Jonathan: It's my old duffle coat. Judy: Actually, it was mine first. Henry: Well, long before that, it was mine. Paddington: Oh, was it, Mr. Brown? Judy: [faintly] Really? Mary: He wore it on his first day of school. Paddington: [admiring the coat he's wearing] It's lovely. Wooden buttons for ease of paw. And these 2 sandwich compartments are an excellent idea. Henry: I must say it suits you very well. Paddington: I never thought I'd like a human coat, but... Mary: [offscreen] You look like one of the family. Jonathan: You're not going to send Paddington to the authorities, are you? Judy: You will try the Geographer's Guild? Henry: [

Dialogue

Henry: Paddington? Paddington? [the elevator door opens] Paddington: Psst! Mr. Brown. In here. Henry: What are you doing? Paddington: We need to get into that archive. [Henry sighs] Hmm... Henry: [enters the elevator] Paddington, please don't take this the wrong way, but are you certain there was an explorer? [Paddington stares calmly at him, then begins to furrow his brow angrily and widen his eyes in anger] You didn't just find the hat and make up some...? [he notices Paddington glaring at him] What? Why are you looking at me like that? Is it me or is it hot in here? Why do I feel so... Paddington: Uncomfortable? Henry: Hmm. Paddington: Flushed? Henry: Hmm. Paddington: Queasy? Henry: Hmm. Paddington: It's called a hard stare. [relaxes his face] My aunt taught me to do them when people had forgotten their manners. Henry: [under his breath] Oh, give me strength. Paddington: Mr. Brown, you can trust me. There really was an explorer. And if we can find him, I know he'll give me a home, a

Dialogue

Paddington: But it wasn't my fault! Henry: Who else was in the house? The front door was still locked. Paddington: There was an elephant. Jonathan: An elephant? Judy: [confused] What? Paddington: Well, it had a head of an elephant and a body of a snake. But it tried to shoot me! Mrs. Bird: Have you been drinking saltwater? Paddington: No. Mary: [crouches down] Paddington, why don't you tell us what really happened? Paddington: [confused] What? Mary: We won't be cross. Henry: Speak for yourself. Paddington: Mrs. Brown, you must believe me. I would never lie to you.

Dialogue

Mary: "Dear, Browns. Thank you very much for having me stay. You're a very lovely family. I'm very sorry about the flood, and the fire, and the incident at the Geographer's Guild. [Henry looks away in guilt] I hope that... now I have gone, things will calm down a bit. Yours, Paddington." [puts down the note] Judy: Well, shall we go after him? Henry: It's...better this way. He didn't really belong here. Jonathan: How can you say that? [runs out of the room] Henry: [as Judy is about to leave] Judy...? Judy: I'm going to my room. [puts on her headphones and leaves, Mary follows] Henry: Where are you going? Mary: I'm just, um... I need to know he's okay. [leaves, Henry sits on the table and sulks in regret] Mrs. Bird: [sighs heavily] You just don't get it, do you? Henry: [turns to look at Mrs. Bird] What? Mrs. Bird: This family needed that wee bear every bit as much as he needed you. There, said my piece. [leaves the room]

Dialogue

Mr. Curry: Miss Clyde! [runs up to Millicent] Millicent: Mr. Curry. What do you want? Mr. Curry: [shows a bouquet of withered flowers] I found these tied to a lamppost and I thought: "Waste not, want not". [gives Millicent the bouquet] Millicent: Charming. Now, if you'll excuse me... [walks away] Mr. Curry: Uh...where exactly are you going? Millicent: [stops and turns around] What concern is it of yours? Mr. Curry: [points to the taxidermist van, referring to Paddington] You've got the bear in there. Millicent: And...? Mr. Curry: It's just... I thought you were sending him to Peru, but... Millicent: I said I was sending him where he belongs, which, in his case, is the Natural History Museum. Mr. Curry: But, Honeypot, that is barbaric. Millicent: [angrily] Mr. Curry, I am not your "Honeypot". I never was. Mr. Curry: [realizes he's been used] What? Millicent: [gives Mr. Curry back the bouquet in frustration] Now take your rotten flowers and get out of here. Go. [Mr. Curry backs away slow

Dialogue

Millicent: [opens the museum doors] Welcome to your new home, bear. This is a cathedral of knowledge. Every major explorer has added to its glory. [points to 3 of many exhibits in the room] Charles Darwin brought the giant tortoise from the Galapagos. Paddington: Good evening. Millicent: Captain Scott, the emperor penguin from Antarctica. Paddington: Gentlemen. Millicent: Captain Cook, the kangaroo from Australia. Paddington: Good day. Millicent: Each of these men have been immortalized through these finds. But do you see anything from my father? No. Because when he met your oh-so-precious species, he refused to collect a specimen. Boss Geographer: No specimen? Montgomery: Gentlemen, gentlemen... I-I-I mean, these were no dumb beasts. I mean, they-they were intelligent and civilized. Geographer 1: Oh, come off it, Clyde. They didn't even speak English. Montgomery: Well, no, but... Geographer 2: Did they play cricket? Geographer 3: Drink tea? Geographer 4: Do the crossword? Geographer 1

Dialogue

Mary: [as they run to the leftmost window] Henry? Henry, do not go out there. Jonathan: Do it, Dad! Henry: Someone has to. [jumps down] And that someone is me. Mary: Oh... Oh, I say... [Henry kisses her, Jonathan stares] Judy: Um... [she looks away in embarrassment] Mary: My hero. [her painting reveals Henry's face] Crikey. [Henry walks out the window]

Dialogue

Millicent: Not so fast! [the Browns gasp in fear] C'mon, hand over the bear. Mary: No. We won't do that. Paddington: Mrs. Brown? Mary: [she puts her hand on Paddington] He's family. Millicent: "Family"? You're not even the same species. Paddington: It's true. Henry: It is true. And when I first met Paddington, I wanted nothing to do with him. [looks at Mary] But my wonderful wife, she opened her heart to him. [looks back to Millicent] And so did my incredible children. And now I have too! [he walks up to Millicent] Mary: [softly] Henry... Henry: It doesn't matter that he comes from the other side of the world. Or that he's a different species. [Millicent prepares to shoot] Or that he has a worrying marmalade habit. We love Paddington, and that makes him family. |And families stick together! So if you want him, you'll have to take us all! [Mary smiles] Millicent: Okay then. [Mary gasps in fear] Henry: When I say "all"... Millicent: I've never stuffed a human before, but... Paddington: [
