[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]

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.

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!

[spills coffee on Millicent]

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...?

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

Consequences of Magic and School Regulations
Mafalda Hopkirk 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.
[voiceover through letter]
Molly Weasley Just because you're allowed to use magic now, DOES NOT MEAN YOU HAVE TO WHIP YOUR WANDS OUT FOR EVERYTHING!
[annoyed to Fred and George as they appear behind her, startling her]
Hermione Granger Everyone, this is Loony Love… Luna Lovegood.
[clears throat; correctly]
Hermione Granger 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.
Sybill Trelawney 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.
[goes into a trance, makes a prediction]
Voldemort You're a fool, Harry Potter. And you will lose…everything.
Preparing for a Storm and Unexpected News
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 Radio"? I feel it in my knees. My knees never lie.
[scoffs]
Jonathan Guess what, Mrs. Bird? We found a bear!
[runs in the room]
Mrs. Bird Uh-huh.
Jonathan A real bear from Peru!
Mrs. Bird Oh, that's nice, dear.
Jonathan You don't seem very surprised.
[confused]
Mrs. Bird Oh, I was surprised when they came up with the microwave oven. And I still don't trust you.
[glares at a microwave oven]
