Would you excuse us a moment? What are you doing?
[flips what he thinks is the microphone switch]
Mary Brown
Talking to the nice men.
Henry Brown
Nice men? Mary, we can't trust these people. I mean look at them! Talk about a rogues gallery. Hideous! And as for that bearded baboon in the middle, he's hardly got two brain cells to rub together.
Knuckles McGinty
We can still hear you, Mr. Brown. That was the light you turned off. The microphone is on the other side. It's got microphone written on it.
Henry Brown
...gentlemen.

Judgments on Celebrity Relationships and Appearances
William
So what do you think? Good move?
Honey
Good move. When all is said and done, she's nothing special. I saw her taking her trousers down and I definitely glimpsed some cellulite down there.
Bella
Good decision. All actresses are as mad as snakes.
William
Tony, what do you think?
Tony
Never met her, never want to.
William
Brilliant. Max?
Max
Absolutely. Never trust a vegetarian.
William
Great. Thanks. Brilliant.
Spike
I was called and I came. What's up?
Honey
William's just turned down Anna Scott.
Spike
You daft prick!
[shocked]
Honey
No, no, no, no, it's actually quite sensible.
Bella
That painting isn't the original, is it?
[looks at the painting of the Chagall that Anna gave William]
William
Umm, yeah, I think it might be.
Bernie
But she said she wanted to go out with you?
William
Yes...sort of...
Bernie
That's nice.
William
What?
Bernie
Well, you know, anyone saying they want to go out with you is...pretty great...isn't it?
William
It was sort of sweet, actually- um, I mean, I know she's an actress and all that, so she can deliver a line, but she said she might be as famous as can be, but also...that she was just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her. Oh, sod a dog, I've made the wrong decision, haven't I? Max, how fast is your car?
[pause; Spike nods. Another pause]

Yes, hello. Yes, that sounds fine. No-no-no-no-no-no, don't read me the terms and conditions. I really want to action this as soon as possible. No, don't put me hold on again! Paddington, what is going on in there?

Paddington

Paddington's Impact on Windsor Gardens
Mr. Curry
We don't want him here.
[into megaphone]
Henry Brown
No, of course you don't. YOU never have! As soon as you set eyes on that bear you made up your mind about him. Well Paddington's not like that. He looks for the good in all of us and somehow, he finds it! It's why he makes friends wherever he goes. And it's why Windsor Gardens is a happier place whenever he's around. He wouldn't hesitate if any of us needed help! So stand aside, Mr. Curry. Cause we're coming through!
