Dialogue

[edit]
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]
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.
Rex: [referring to Paddington] That animal is going straight to the authorities!
Fly: But what about the explorer?
Rex: 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!
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 get some sleep, okay? [walks out of the attic through the hatch she came in] Night-night.
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]
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.
Ferdinand: Every morning it arrives at 11:00 bringing salvation. Quack-a-doodle-doo! [fall from the roof of growing like a rooster straight towards Paddington] Ay! It’s like every single time they face on a duck.
Paddington: Really? [eats a berry]
Ferdinand: Well, oh! Do you want to know why? Because, humans eat Ducks. They don’t eat cats. Anyone know why? Because they eat me if I don’t do something soon, I’ll turn into dinner! And if I turn it into dinner, the last thing you’re gonna see me is whacking and screaming, and shouting, while am ax goes towards my poor body! [collapse and groans]
Paddington: Was it hard to find survive?
Ferdinand: No! It’s simple! What a duck is about to be Christmas dinner, it runs away. It’s headed towards bright blue skies, gentler lands, and plenty of other ducks to play with. That’s where I want to be. I want to become. And I want to see. [getting up, he goes inside of the shed] But I soon learned a home is more than a roof over your head. [steam, Part of the shed cracks open] I need to survive, because if I don’t, I’ll become dinner! And I’ll become a maniac or rooster! (Begins, covering his wings)
Paddington: Oh, no.
Ferdinand: Well, I’ll do something about about the job! And it’s going to be mission impossible. I have to do this on my own. You stay here, and when I come back with the alarm clock, you’re gonna dispose it in a creek.
Paddington: Don’t worry, I’ll help you. Your life isn’t my hands, her, I mean, wing. [He goes inside the brown house Ferdinand climbs on a window. There, lays dutches the cat. Baby upstairs carefully, he begins to creek. Ferdinand watches. Some paint buckets are about to fall. A yarn falls and roast towards Duchess. Paddington freezes, but luckily, it stops just in time. Paddington continues walking upstairs to get the alarm clock. However, string stuck, triggering everything, and where he goes. Ferdinand panics, and quickly rushes through the doggie door, quacking, and stopping in front of Paddington.]
’’’ Ferdinand’’’: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Stop, stop, stop, stop. Here, still, and let me get that for you. (He removes the string from Paddington’s foot, and he begins to go upstairs) Stand guard, and I beg you, not word. (Go up the stairs, hopping while Paddington stands.) If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself. (He reaches the bedroom, and notices the alarm clock, but before he can grab it, he suddenly sees Paddington arriving upstairs already)
’’’Paddington’’’: Standard about what?
’’’Ferdinand’’’: Oh! OK, I warn you, Stick by me, one. More.. No come on.

(Paddington slowly takes the alarm clock and puts sick his mouth, and they go down the stairs. However, they see Duchess sleeping right near them. They both tiptoe quietly over the stream. Paddington notices some toffee apples and grab a bite. Just stop they realize that the door is far away. They noticed Duchess. Holding the rats quietly, they go, before they go any step further so they can exhale, Ferdinand begins to sneeze)

’’’Paddington’’’: (while holding his breath and can only speak on the side of his mouth) Don’t sneeze, Ferdy.
’’’Ferdinand’’’: Ahhh….
’’’Paddinton’’’: just try to hold your breath..!
’’’Ferdinand’’’: AHHH…..CHOOOO!!!!

(Due to me, Paddington accidentally drops the alarm clock, and he stopped, holding his breath, exhaling. It starts to rain, awakening, Duchess. We cut outside the house, where there are quacks, screams, sneezes, splashes, squeals, yelping, splashing, splotching, and cat shrieks. There was a loud bang and we show Paddington and Ferdinand running away from the house, covered in blue paint. Duchess follows them, screeching like a cat. They run through the streets, panting as they run. Dutches follows after them. Meanwhile, let’s find Paddington, not at the spot and notices a cat screeching. Concern for Paddington, he runs towards the cat while Paddington freezes in an alley with Ferdinand, who flies on top of it and tried to take Paddington.)

’’’Ferdinan’’’: Ahhhh! Follow me, I can take you to safety!
’’’Paddington’’’: (here remains frozen while Duchess closes in, about to get her paws on him)

(Rex sly appears, fighting Duchess offscreen. Ferdinand drops to the ground, letting us scream as he and Paddington remain frozen to witness the fight. Duchess runs back to the house, screeching. There are suddenly meows of feral cats And Paddington remains frozen while Rex looks up and shouts for Paddington to run. Paddington remains frozen. Rex shouts for Paddington to go and knock him down, and they quickly run away as far as they can. Once they are far away, Ferdinand quickly flies back to the house to avoid getting into trouble. Paddington begins to speak once he regain his breath)

’’’Paddigton’’’: But, I wanted to help our demand. I just wanted him to revent becoming dinner..:.
’’’Rex’’’: You disobeyed the house rules!
’’’Paddington’’’: I’m sorry… I…
’’’Rex’’’: What if I never appeared in time?! You could’ve been…. When I tell you to obey, you OBEY! NEVER Disobeyed like that! Ever! (Paddington: I’m… I’m sorry.) (sternly) Let’s go home.
[The next morning, Ferdinand is running away After hearing the brown prepare for Christmas dinner]
Ferdinand: Dinner means death! That means carnage! Christmas means carnage! Christmas means carnage!!! (He then accidentally bumped into Rex, his leg, who looks up at him sternly. He then lifts up his front leg to let him pass, allowing Ferdinand to run away. Paddington suddenly appears$
Paddington: So, where are we off to today?
Rex: You’re gonna stay near the house where it safe.
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.
[flashback, "Born to be Wild" plays in the background]
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: [during the flashback] But becoming a father does strange things to a man.
Henry: [he and Mary leave the hospital] 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.
Mary: [confused] Where's the bike, darling?
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 flashback ends] The point is, your father loves you very much. Give him a chance. [picks up a laundry basket] He might just surprise you. [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...?
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: [pause] Yes, alright. We'll see if they know anything. [Jonathan hugs him] But if it's a dead end...
Mary: I'm sure it won't be.
Paddington: Thank you very much, Mr. Brown. [he smiles, Henry smiles back]
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 glares at him] You didn't just find the hat and make up some...? [he notices Paddington] 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 proper home, like yours. Now I've got an idea, but I'm going to need your help.
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.
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]
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: 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 slowly, she barks at him, he then runs away]
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: G'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.
[the flashback begins]
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: [pause] Never. [the crowd gasps]
Boss: Very well. You leave me no choice. This expedition shall be struck from the records. [receptionist rips off the records] Montgomery Clyde, I hereby revoke your membership of the hallowed Guild. [rips off his membership necklace] Geographers, turn your backs. [turns his back on Montgomery, followed by his fellow geographers]
Millicent: [during the flashback] 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. [the flashback ends] And now, at last, that day has come. [unveils a glass box that reads "Ursus marmaladus", Paddington sees a foreshadowing vision of himself in it] That's right. I'm going to stuff you, bear.
[Paddington gasps and runs away in fear, trying to escape the museum, but Millicent shot him the butt with a tranquilizer]
Paddington: [weakly] Ow...! [he falls down the stairs and falls asleep]
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]
Millicent: Not so fast! [the Browns gasp in fear] C'mon, hand over the bear.
Mary: No. We don'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: [interrupts] Wait! Wait. You don't need to do that. [starts walking towards Millicent]
Jonathan: Paddington!
Judy: [sadly] No.
Millicent: [smiling wickedly] Yes. That's it. Come, come.
Paddington: [sees a pigeon land on the roof] Uh...could I have one last request?
Millicent: [sighs is disgust] What is it?
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: [the pigeons fly at her, leading her off the cliff] Nice try, bear! [the hatch opens in front of her] AAH!!!
Mrs. Bird: THE CROW'S NEST!
Paddington: Mrs. Bird!
Mrs. Bird: What?!
Millicent: [offscreen] Hey! [seen hanging on a flagpole] Why don't you look where you're going?
Mrs. Bird: Ah, shut your pie hole. [spills coffee on Millicent]
’’Duchess’’’
Oh, my dear Rex. So sad to see you, sedated. I do say that I know what happens to Bears, right?
’’’Rex’’’: Mmm…

Matches his way while carrying Paddington by the foot, as the little bear begins to cough. Rex watches in and run to stop him. Putting him in the bath and to train car, dag begins to laugh and knock the train car into the Thames river. Ricks watches in car and grabs dag by the foot, tossing him around and he and his defeated jackal gang fall, into a pile. Rex run towards the bridge to save Paddington. Meanwhile, Paddington swims up and gasps. The train cars sinks into the river. Rex looks down to the spot where it had fallen, then he jumps in and swims down. Paddington grunts at he swims and tries to push himself out. Reaches the train and swims towards the door. Paddington takes a deep breath and dives into the water where he sees Rex his nose. They swim towards the chain and try to pull Paddington losing a few bubbles. Rex by holding his breath that they need to try to push the train car open. Air bubbles float to the surface. After trying, there is no use. Rex swims up and dives back in, where he does a breastrokes swim and managed to tug it open, while Paddington roses is final bubble.
