-I'm paddington bear!

[The announcer is whispering]:
he's putting for a birdie.

The crowd is breathless
with anticipation.

Brilliant sh*t!

What are your comments,
arnold parker?

- In all the years
I've been a golf pro,

I've hardly ever seen
a better display

Of technique and finesse.

[Crash!]
-I had broken something...
And I didn't even hit the ball!

- Whatever was that
horrible noise?

-It's that mr. Curry.

He's practicing his golf game

For this weekend's
open tournament.

And he's broken his own
window. Ha! Ha! Ha!

- Seeing how I was trying
to learn about golf,

I thought it might be
good to watch someone

Play in the flesh.

This knot hole usually
gave a very good view
of mr. Curry's garden...

But something was blocking it.
- Ah!

-Bear!

Did you do that on purpose?

- Oh no, mr. Curry. I was only
trying to unblock the hole.

If I'd known you were there,
I would have done it
much more gently.

- I was looking for my golf ball.
It went into your garden.

- It couldn't have gone
too far, mr. Curry.

Found it! But...

I think you'll be in
trouble with mr. Brown.

He's very fond of
his tomato plants.

-If people don't take
the trouble to build
their fences high enough,

They must expect these things.

Bear, I need a caddie for the
golf competition tomorrow.

If you're interested,
I might not report you for
nearly poking my eye out.

-A caddie?

- Wonderful. The first thing
to do is fill my golf bag

With my clubs in
the proper order.

The driver, the 3 woods,
6 irons, sand wedge,

Pitching wedge for the short
game and, of course, the putter.

That's settled then. I'll
see you on the links
at 2 o'clock sharp.

-Thank you, mr. Curry.
I don't think I've ever
been on a links before.

Links? Caddie?

♪ Of all the silly
types of games ♪

♪ That people like to play
there's really nothing ♪

♪ Quite as odd as
what we'll do today ♪

♪ To golf you need
a set of clubs in a bag
strapped on your back ♪

♪ A different club for
every stroke just to
give the ball a whack ♪

♪ A par birdie hole-in-one

♪ Bogey eagle or fore

♪ You need a dictionary
just to keep the score ♪

♪ I guess golf is a simple
game you only have one goal ♪

♪ To hit the ball
with fewer strokes ♪

♪ And put it in the hole

♪ That's putt it in the hole

♪ They have a giant sandbox
where grown men have a fit ♪

♪ About this little white ball
that they can't seem to hit ♪

♪ A caddie carries all the clubs
and never gets to play ♪

♪ I'd rather sit here on the
train and eat some marmalade ♪

♪ I guess golf is a simple game
you only have one goal ♪

♪ To hit the ball
with fewer strokes ♪

♪ And put it in the hole

♪ And put it in the hole
that's putt it in the hole ♪♪

Mr. Curry told me I've got
to keep sight of his ball
after he hits it.

So I decided a marmalade chunk
would make it impossible

To mix his ball up
with anyone else's.

Oops!

- Bear! My driver!
I'll... I'll...

- Perhaps we could tie
the 2 ends together.

-Tie them together!

I shall make you
pay for that, bear.

That was my best club!

- If anyone is owed an apology,
it's this young bear.

And if this is your best club,
I must say I wouldn't care to
see your worst. It's all rusty.

My name's parker. Arnold parker.

I'm acting as an official
here this afternoon.

- Thank you very much,
mr. Parker.

My name's brown.
Paddington brown.

-Arnold parker, the golf pro?

I was only joking. This is just
my practice set of clubs.

Bear, do you happen to have

My tee handy?

-I'll be right back, mr. Curry.

Your tea, mr. Curry.

The club house said you could
pay for it after the tournament.

-Pay for it? Bear!!

I didn't mean that sort of tea.

I meant the kind you place
the ball on. Oh, never mind.

Now stand clear.

Ah!! Oh!!

- Oh, dear. I think you've
trodden on the sandwich

Mr. Brown was kind
enough to bring you.

-Why you... Bear!

I'll show... Oh, when
I get my hands on you!

It's all your fault, bear!

Leaving marmalade sandwiches
lying around like that.

-Nonsense. If you hadn't thrown
it down in the first place,
it never would have happened.

- Perhaps I could take your place
in the competition, mr. Curry.

-There's no reason why not.

It doesn't say anything in the
rules about bears being barred.

- Mind you make a good
job of it, bear...

Or you'll have to reimburse
my entrance fee!

[Almost whispering]:
this is a new competitor.

The crowd is breathless
with anticipation.

[The crowd]: oooh!

- Address the ball properly,
mr. Brown.

-Address the ball?

But I don't even
have any stamps.

-Yes. Well, try again.

And bring your stance
closer to it.

Fore!

-Five!

-It's paddington!

It's paddington!
- Yeah! Good old paddington!

- The ball is heading
off the course.

Oh my! A train. It's...

-Yurk! A marmalade chunk?

- Oh, you can't trust
anyone today.

...famed golf pro arnold parker.

- Well, I've never seen
anything like it.

Getting through an 18-hole
golf course in one swing.

It must be a world record.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I present to you the winner

Of this year's open tournament:
paddington brown!

[Cheers]

And I present to you,
mr. Brown, the grand prize:

A brand-new set of golf clubs.

- Thank you very much,
mr. Parker.

I'm going to give these
golf clubs to my neighbor,
mr. Curry.

After all, I did break
his best club.

- Incredible! I can't
believe my luck.

Aah!!

- And I do so hope
he's all right.

-Bear!!!

- I'm glad we're up here and
not down there, mr. Gruber.

- I would have to agree,
mr. Brown.

-Those are wildebeest.

The thunder of the plains.

-And they'll make the
perfect picture for
your book, the world

And its wonders, mr. Gruber.

If only they would stay
still for a moment.

-Patience, mr. Brown.

Things move at a different
pace here in africa.

Everything comes
to those who wait.

-Waiting is the hardest part.

- The diversity of species
is hard to believe.

From anteaters to zebras.

- But despite the efforts of
nature lovers like ourselves,

Animals continue to
disappear each day.

Poachers are the big problem.

-Poachers? Like for eggs?

- Even egg poachers.
Nothing is safe.

The villains are always on the
lookout to take what they can.

- Ranger odumbe is right,
mr. Brown.

It has become a very
serious matter.

-I could tell that it was.

So that night,

I decided to do
something about it.

I would protect our
eggs from the poachers.

Even if mr. Gruber
prefers his scrambled.

But then I remembered that
ranger odumbe said the villains

Are always on the lookout
to take what they can.

So I intended to take
extra special care.

If those egg poachers
try anything,

They'll have ranger paddington
to deal with.

[Noise]

Who goes there?

-Shh!

-There was someone out there.

Luckily,

Back home in the jungles
of darkest peru,

My aunt lucy had taught
me how to move through
the forest quietly

And unseen.

-Ah... What a steal!

- This ostrich egg
is worth a fortune.

-Egg poachers!

I had to tell ranger odumbe.

- Ah, good morning, mr. Brown.
Did you sleep well?

Mr. Brown?

Mr. Brown is gone.

-But to where?

-Who knows?

But we must find him
before he goes too far.

- I also got my keen sense
of direction from aunt lucy

And I was certain our
camp was through here.

On second thought...

Oh, dear.

I hope that ostrich
doesn't think I took her egg.

One good peck from her and I'd
have a headache for days.

On the other hand, if I'd
laid an egg that size

And it was stolen,
I'd be upset too.

If everybody went around
stealing ostrich eggs,

There soon wouldn't be any left.

And that would be
the end of ostriches.

- Tire marks! Poachers
are in the area.

- Oh! I hope they haven't
found mr. Brown.

Can you tell
which way they went?

-Whoa!

[Both]: help! Get us down!

Help! Help! Help!!!

- It was mr. Gruber
and ranger odumbe.

They were in some
kind of danger.

It was up to ranger paddington
to save them.

-Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Well now, this is quite a catch.

-You're both under arrest.

-Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

-You won't get away with this.

-Mr. Gruber is very close.

And so are you.

Not many people know crocodiles
like marmalade.

That's something else
aunt lucy taught me.

This all looks very serious.

-Poaching is a crime.

You will be punished.
- You should be ashamed.

-Ha! Ha! Ha! This ostrich egg

Will fetch us a fortune. And
there's no one about to stop us.

- Ha! Ha! Ha!
- Just as I suspected.

Release mr. Gruber and ranger
odumbe, you egg poachers!

-Run, mr. Brown! Get help.

-Do you see what I see?

He'll be worth a fortune to
the right customer. Grab him!

-Well done, mr. Brown.

But look out!

-You'll pay for that, bear!

[Both men]: oh, stop it!

Let us out of here!!!

- Only when you're locked up,
safe and sound.

- I'm so glad I found you,
mr. Gruber.

I had quite a time, what with
all the egg poaching going on.

-Egg poaching?

- Yes. I was guarding
our breakfast eggs

When I saw these men with
this poor ostrich's egg.

-Ha! Ha! Ha! Egg poachers!

Oh, mr. Brown! You never
cease to amaze me.

Bears certainly do have a way

Of landing on their paws,
don't they?

- That's what mrs. Bird always
says, mr. Gruber.

Mr. Gruber, I think I've managed

To find the perfect photograph
to take for your book,

The world and its wonders!

-This is all very...

Egg...

Citing. Ha! Ha! Ha!

-After that day's experience,

We decided that for breakfast,
we would only have
fruit and toast

During the rest of
our stay in africa.

And I think that was a very
good decision indeed.

-Dear aunt lucy.

How I miss the simple
christmases in darkest peru.

Here in england, christmas
is like a jigsaw puzzle.

Every time you get someone a
present, you fill in a piece.

When you have all
your presents, you've
finished the puzzle.

It's "getting" the presents
that's the hard part.

This year, I've decided
to take the advice

Of my favourite television show

And make all of mine.
The program's called:
make it yourself!

In the last show, they told
us to find some wood,

Set out some tools,

Then mix up some paste
in the kitchen...

But they didn't say
anything about the mess.

- Welcome to the best in do
it yourself programming.

It's the make it yourself show!

- With your hosts
jan and jeremy!

Okay, everyone at home,

Have you got everything
ready? Got your paste?

- Yes.
- Got your wood and your tools

And your paper patterns

All neatly organized? - Yes.

-So are we ready to begin?

Remember: safety first!

So safety glasses, everyone!

- By the end of the show, I
had almost filled in the whole

Of my christmas puzzle.

- We hope you had as
much fun as we did.

Now, let's see what
we've made, shall we?

-2 Trinket boxes.

- For mrs. Brown and judy.
- One tie rack.

-For jonathan.

-A useful spoon for stirring.

-Mrs. Bird will like that.

-And a toothbrush holder.

-For mr. Brown.

- Now be sure to clean up,
otherwise you'll be in trouble.

-And until next time...

[Both]: make it yourself!

- I had done it! But
I still needed

To make a gift for
jan and jeremy,

The make it yourself team. The
only question was, "what?"

Then I noticed that
if I wanted to,

I could put the piece back into
mr. Brown's toothbrush holder

And make a small towel rack.

And that's when an even
better idea struck me!

I would make them a puzzle!

But what to make it from?

A glance outside
gave me my answer.

For mr. Curry appeared
to be throwing out

The very thing I needed.

- Yes? What is it?
I'm a busy man today.

- Mr. Curry? I wonder, since you
seem to be finished with that...

- I'm not finished. I'm
only just beginning.

I have lots more to do
before I'm finished.

-Yes. But I wonder if I might...

That is... Christmas
is coming and...

- Whatever it is, fine.
I wish you luck.

Now leave me to my work! Humph!

-Thank you very much.

I couldn't believe
my good fortune.

The painting was even stuck
to a sheet of plywood.

It would make the
perfect puzzle!

[Sawing]

Ah!

Now for the finishing touch.

A present for you!

There! I've made all my gifts.

[Knocking]

-Thieves! Brigands!

Bandits!

Bear, did you notice any
suspicious characters

While you were prowling
around my house?

"A present for you..."

A present for me?

You got me a present, bear?

- Actually, it's a
christmas present.

- A christmas present! I must
say, bear, I'm very touched.

Let's open it now, shall we?

- You don't understand.
It's meant for...

- A jigsaw! And homemade
at that. Fancy you

Going to all that
trouble for me!

- Actually, I didn't really
go to any trouble for you.

- You've made me feel
much better, bear.

I'm upset, you see, because
of what happened while
I was cleaning my hall,

This afternoon. - Cleaning?

- I'd stood all the things
outside while I was working

And... Guess what happened?
- You mean...

You weren't throwing things out?

- Someone stole a
priceless painting!

Hard to believe, isn't it?
- Oh, I believe you, mr. Curry.

Perhaps you should finish
the jigsaw later.

- Nonsense. It's
starting to take shape.

-That's what I was afraid of.

-Bear!

I can't see to do my jigsaw.
- Oh, that's good.

I... I mean... - My painting!

This is my painting!

Bear, what's the
meaning of this?

Where are you? Come back here!

Uh?!

Get away from there!
They're my things!

Leave them alone!

- Thankfully, aunt lucy, it
appeared mr. Curry didn't

Like jan and jeremy's
present after all.

- Well, you can't trust
anyone today.

I mean, you leave things
outside and what happens?

-I felt badly about his
painting and wanted to
make it up to him,

But that meant
I had to get busy.

- Thank you, mrs. Bird.
I'll see myself in.

He destroyed a perfectly
good painting,

A perfectly good painting!
It's an outrage.

Absolute outrage!
He left me this note.

Oh, wait till I get
my hands on him!

-Uh, may I help you, mr. Curry?

-That bear! That bear!

-Uh, "dear mr. Curry.
If you watch make it
yourself this afternoon,

You may see something
to your a-vantage?"

- What on earth is that
supposed to mean?

-I expect he means "advantage".

Paddington doesn't
spell very well.

- It's the
make it yourself show.

Working here at make it yourself

Is full of surprises!

- Today, for example, we
became the proud owners

Of a bear's restoration.

Now who could have
predicted that?

- What's that? That's my
painting! What's it doing

On your television?!
-Never mind your painting.
What's paddington doing?

- This used to be a worthless
copy of a painting called

The laughing cavalier.

- Worthless?! It's been
in my family for years!

- Until it was improved
by paddington brown.

Now it's a picture and a jigsaw!

Talk about a clever gift idea!

- Paddington asked us to send
the print's original owner

A brand-new copy
of his painting.

We've put it in a new frame
that's worth more on its own

Than the old frame and
picture put together.

- Well, well. A new frame too,
you say? Things are looking up.

- And perhaps, when mr. Curry's
new painting arrives,

I could turn that into
a jigsaw as well!

-Bear!!!
