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]

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]

Communication Breakdown and Unexpected Issues
Henry Brown
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?
[slams on door]
Paddington
Uh, nothing. Ah, I'm just having a spot of bother with the facilities.

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.
Paddington
There was an elephant.
Jonathan
An elephant?
Judy
What?
[confused]
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
Paddington, why don't you tell us what really happened?
[crouches down]
Paddington
What?
[confused]
Mary
We won't be cross.
Henry
Speak for yourself.
Paddington
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]

Heck of a racket coming from your way last night, Brown.
[from his window]
Henry
Oh, hello, Mr. Curry. I'm sorry if we disturbed you.
[turns around]
Paddington
Good morning.
Mr. Curry
I don't believe I've had the pleasure.
[looks at Paddington]
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.

Seeking Access to the Archive
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. Hmm...
[Henry sighs]
Henry
Paddington, please don't take this the wrong way, but are you certain there was an explorer? You didn't just find the hat and make up some...? What? Why are you looking at me like that? Is it me or is it hot in here? Why do I feel so...
[enters the elevator; Paddington stares calmly at him, then begins to furrow his brow angrily and widen his eyes in anger; he notices Paddington glaring at him]
Paddington
Uncomfortable?
Henry
Hmm.
Paddington
Flushed?
Henry
Hmm.
Paddington
Queasy?
Henry
Hmm.
Paddington
It's called a hard stare. My aunt taught me to do them when people had forgotten their manners.
[relaxes his face]
Henry
Oh, give me strength.
[under his breath]
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 proper home, like yours. Now I've got an idea, but I'm going to need your help.

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...?

Reflections on Home and New Beginnings
Mr. Gruber
Every morning it arrives at 11:00 bringing salvation. Just like a train that I took many years ago.
[puts nuts in his coffee]
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 ], when I was not much older than you are now.
[[Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted|all the way across Europe; a vision of Mr. Gruber's pats appears]
Paddington
Was it hard to find a home?
Mr. Gruber
I had a great aunt who once took me in. But I soon learned a home is more than a roof over your head. 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.
[a distant voice can be heard; steam, the vision disappears]
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... Marmalade?
[pulls out a sandwich]
Paddington
My uncle always kept a marmalade sandwich in his hat, in case of emergency.
Mr. Gruber
You're pulling my legs off! What a splendid idea!

Unexpected Encounter by the Lamppost
Mr. Curry
Miss Clyde!
[runs up to Millicent]
Millicent
Mr. Curry. What do you want?
Mr. Curry
I found these tied to a lamppost and I thought: "Waste not, want not".
[shows a bouquet of withered flowers; gives Millicent the bouquet]
Millicent
Charming. Now, if you'll excuse me...
[walks away]
Mr. Curry
Uh...where exactly are you going?
Millicent
What concern is it of yours?
[stops and turns around]
Mr. Curry
You've got the bear in there.
[points to the taxidermist van, referring to Paddington]
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 ].

Mr. Curry
But, Honeypot, that is barbaric.
Millicent
Mr. Curry, I am not your "Honeypot". I never was.

What?
[realizes he's been used]
Millicent
Now take your rotten flowers and get out of here. Go.
[gives Mr. Curry back the bouquet in frustration; Mr. Curry backs away slowly, she barks at him, he then runs away]

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
Pretty rum idea of civilization you've got, Clyde.
Boss
Tell us their location. We'll send a real explorer to get a specimen.
Montgomery
Never.
[pause; the crowd gasps]
Boss
Very well. You leave me no choice. This expedition shall be struck from the records. Montgomery Clyde, I hereby revoke your membership of the hallowed Guild. Geographers, turn your backs.
[receptionist rips off the records; rips off his membership necklace; turns his back on Montgomery, followed by his fellow geographers]
Millicent
We could've been rich and famous, but instead he threw it all away, and he opened a petting zoo. He put the happiness of a few furry creatures above his own flesh and blood. I vowed that one day, I would finish the job my father never could. And now, at last, that day has come. That's right. I'm going to stuff you, bear.
[during the flashback; the flashback ends; unveils a glass box that reads "Ursus marmaladus", Paddington sees a foreshadowing vision of himself in it]
Paddington
Ow...!

A Search for the Missing Explorer
Mary
Can't you sleep? Me neither.
[opens the hatch; Paddington shakes his head, as if to say "no"; 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. He gave my uncle this hat.
[points to the hat he's wearing]
Mary
What, that was the explorer's hat?
Paddington
Mm-hmm. Why?
Mary
I've got a friend who runs an antique shop in the Portobello Road. He knows all about old things like your hat.
[referring to Mr. Gruber, gasps]
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
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 get some sleep, okay? Night-night.

A Decision About Leaving for London
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. But it is not yet time for you to retire. You must find a new home...in London.
[before Paddington could speak, she raises her hand]
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, 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. Now take care, my darling. Remember your manners. And keep safe.
[puts a label around Paddington's neck; puts a red hat on his head; hears a group of people; kisses Paddington, then walks away]
