Paddington's Reaction to the Wind
Paddington
Wind! Hot wind! 2 hot winds! I don't like it! Well, I hope I don't look weird after all that.
[as he's being blown by blow dryers; the blowing stops, offscreen; 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
Really?
[faintly]
Mary
He wore it on his first day of school.
Paddington
It's lovely. Wooden buttons for ease of paw. And these 2 sandwich compartments are an excellent idea.
[admiring the coat he's wearing]
Henry
I must say it suits you very well.
Paddington
I never thought I'd like a human coat, but...
Mary
You look like one of the family.
[offscreen]
Jonathan
You're not going to send Paddington to the authorities, are you?
Judy
You will try the Geographer's Guild?
Henry
Yes, alright. We'll see if they know anything. But if it's a dead end...
[pause; Jonathan hugs him]
Mary
I'm sure it won't be.
Paddington
Thank you very much, Mr. Brown.
[he smiles, Henry smiles back]

Communication Challenges and Misunderstandings
Sophie
He's not picking up. I can't even tell him how wrong it's all gone.
Rosie
Do you think he's just not hearing the phone? Or that he's taking it out of his pocket, seeing it's you and deciding not to answer?
Tanya
It's wonderful that you put that image in her head. Bolster, bolster.
[softly]
Rosie
I think his phone's on silent.
[eating slices of cucumber]
Sophie
I don't even know what I would say to him anyway.
Tanya
You would say you love him more than you love this argument.
Rosie
That's really good.
Tanya
I know.
Sophie
I love him more than any argument.
Rosie
Ooh.
Sophie
Just wish he was here so I could tell him.
Rosie
Well, I wish Bill was here, too, so that I could hit him.
Sophie
What did go wrong with you two?
Rosie
Ah. Well, there was this other woman hanging around, and I asked him about her, and you know you're in trouble when the word "just" comes before the word "friends.
Tanya
That's how most of my marriages ended, too.

Defending Family Against Adversity
Millicent
Not so fast! C'mon, hand over the bear.
[the Browns gasp in fear]
Mary
No. We won't do that.
Paddington
Mrs. Brown?
Mary
He's family.
[she puts her hand on Paddington]
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. But my wonderful wife, she opened her heart to him. And so did my incredible children. And now I have too!
[looks at Mary; looks back to Millicent; he walks up to Millicent]
Mary
Henry...
[softly]
Henry
It doesn't matter that he comes from the other side of the world. Or that he's a different species. 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!
[Millicent prepares to shoot; Mary smiles]
Millicent
Okay then.
[Mary gasps in fear]
Henry
When I say "all"...
Millicent
I've never stuffed a human before, but...
Paddington
Wait! Wait. You don't need to do that.
[interrupts; starts walking towards Millicent]
Jonathan
Paddington!
Judy
No.
[sadly]
Millicent
Yes. That's it. Come, come.
[smiling wickedly]
Paddington
Uh...could I have one last request?
[sees a pigeon land on the roof]
Millicent
What is it?
[sighs is disgust]
Paddington
I'd like a sandwich. There's one in my hat.
Millicent
Go on then.
Paddington
Thank you.
[takes off his hat, pulls out his sandwich, and throws it at Millicent]
Millicent
Nice try, bear! Aah!
[the pigeons fly at her, leading her off the cliff; the hatch opens in front of her]
Mrs. Bird
THE CROW'S NEST!
Paddington
Mrs. Bird!
Mrs. Bird
What?!
Millicent
Hey! Why don't you look where you're going?
[offscreen; seen hanging on a flagpole]
Mrs. Bird
Ah, shut your pie hole.
[spills coffee on Millicent]

Unexpected Visitors in a Locked House
Paddington
But it wasn't my fault!
Henry
Who else was in the house? The front door was still locked.

An elephant?
Judy
What?
[confused]

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?

No.

Paddington, why don't you tell us what really happened?

Henry
Speak for yourself.

Mrs. Brown, you must believe me. I would never lie to you.

A Farewell to Paddington
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. I hope that... now I have gone, things will calm down a bit. Yours, Paddington.
[Henry looks away in guilt; 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
Judy...?
[as Judy is about to leave]
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
You just don't get it, do you?
[sighs heavily]
Henry
What?
[turns to look at Mrs. Bird]
Mrs. Bird
This family needed that wee bear every bit as much as he needed you. There, said my piece.
[leaves the room]

Paddington's Unexpected Fame in London
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
He put earwax on my toothbrush!
[offscreen, faintly; 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 baby!
[they run in the hospital, then the flashback fast-forwards]
Mrs. Bird
But becoming a father does strange things to a man.
[during the flashback]
Henry
Could you be careful? There's a baby here. Hey, step back, there's a baby coming through. Could you keep those flowers away, please? She's too young for pollen.
[he and Mary leave the hospital]
Mary
Where's the bike, darling?
[confused]
Henry
This is our new car.
Mary
What? It's very beige, isn't it?
Henry
It's a calm and neutral color. Could you get in?
Mrs. Bird
The point is, your father loves you very much. Give him a chance. He might just surprise you.
[the flashback ends; picks up a laundry basket; walks away]
Judy
Maybe you and Dad just need a fresh start.
Paddington
Hmm. I suppose I didn't make the best first impression.
Judy
Don't take this the wrong way, but...why don't we try to make you to look a bit more presentable?
Paddington
Hang on a minute. You're not talking about...?

The Power of Love and Protection
Ollivander
The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter. That much has always been clear to those of us who have studied wandlore.

I think it's best if you two talk alone. She's very shy.
Lily Potter
Harry, you are so loved, so loved. Harry, Mama loves you. Dada loves you. Harry, be safe. Be strong.
[in Snape's memory; Whispering]
Molly Weasley
Not my daughter, YOU BITCH!

Dear Mr. Potter, the Ministry has received intelligence that at 6:23 this evening, you performed the Patronus Charm in the presence of a Muggle. As a clear violation of the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery, you are hereby expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hoping you are well, Mafalda Hopkirk.

Hermione Granger
Everyone, this is Loony Love… Luna Lovegood.
[clears throat; correctly]

That foul, evil, old gargoyle! We're not learning how to defend ourselves. We're not learning how to pass our OWLs. She's taking over the entire school.
[angry about Umbridge]
Sirius Black
This is the Black family tree. My deranged cousin. I hated the lot of them. My parents with their pure-blood mania.
[showing Harry the Black family tree on the wall; motions to Bellatrix Lestrange]
Rubeus Hagrid
It's changin out there. There's a storm comin', Harry... just like last time. And we'd all best be ready when she does.

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... and the Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal but he shall have power the Dark Lord knows not... For neither can live while the other s-survives.
