-I'm paddington bear!

-"Dear aunt lucy, each day can bring something unexpected, -stay right there for more

Like the morning I went
to the supermarket."

-Harold price and deirdre flint!

Don't you two look as cozy
as hot cocoa in front of
a fire on a winter's night!

-We're so happy.

-Tomorrow's the big day.
-The wedding's been
planned to a "t".

We're so looking forward to it.

-I am too! I've never been
to a wedding before.

-Ah, here's the bear who
made it all possible!

-It happened when paddington
was helping out with our
amateur dramatic society.

-I'm afraid I pulled
the wrong rope by mistake.

-I should think you did.
Was that when you broke
your arm, harold?

-Yes.

-Oh, at least it brought
us closer together.

-Well, congratulations!
And have a wonderful
time tomorrow.

Weddings are such
beautiful occasions.

-And ours certainly will be.

[Ring!]

-Hello, preserves counter.
Harold price speaking...

Oh no, oh dear!...

It can't be! What?

-What's wrong, harold?

-Nothing, dear.
Everything's fine.

-Good. I just don't know
what I would do if anything
happened to spoil our day.

-The usher has canceled.
Will you stand in for him
at the wedding tomorrow?

-Yes, of course!

-Wonderful! You see...

Hello, love!
-Hello, miss flint!

-Now, tomorrow morning,
go to my flat

And pick up the guest list.

Oh, and whatever you do,
don't breathe a word
of this to anyone.

Deirdre will be frantic

If she hears the real
usher can't make it.

-I shall have to tell
the browns, mr. Price.
-Fine. Tell mrs. Brown

I'll give her a ring.
-Thank you, mr. Price.

I'm sure she'll be very pleased.

-Oh! Paddington.
Did you get what

We needed at the supermarket?

-Yes, mrs. Bird, and,
you'll never guess what.

Mr. Price wants me to be an
usher at his wedding tomorrow.

-Are you certain
that's what he said?

-He gave me his keys
to pick up the guest list.

Oh, and mr. Price said he would
give you a ring, mrs. Brown.

Isn't that generous of him?
[Ring!]

[Ring!]

-Hello?...

Oh yes, mr. Price.

Paddington said
you'd give me a ring.

-Oh, paddington!

You're the handsomest
usher bear I've ever seen.

-You've got an important
job being in charge of
seating the guests.

-Seating the guests?

But there are of them.
I shall never find
that many chairs.

-Ha! Ha!
Don't worry, paddington.
The seats will be there already.

All you have to do
is point them out.

-Fancy people not knowing
what a seat looks like!

I had no trouble
finding the guest list

On the kitchen table
at mr. Price's flat.

And soon, I had shown
everyone where to sit.

A job well done.

-I must say paddington's
done remarkably well.

He never ceases to amaze me.

-The day is still young.

-Shush.

Shush!

-I do wish he wouldn't
keep telling people
to be quiet, though.

-If you ask me, I suspect
that's what he thinks
an usher's really for.

To keep saying "ush"
to everybody.

-Shush!

-Well, I hope he doesn't
say it to deirdre

During the ceremony.

-And now the ring.

-Where's the ring?
-I thought you had it.

-Where's my ring, harold?

-I don't understand it.

I thought I left it
on the kitchen table

This morning,
next to the guest list.

Paddington!

-Oh.

I think I'm in trouble again.

Understand this, harold:

No ring, no wedding!

-Paddington?
Where did he go?

-When I saw the ring
on the kitchen table,

I thought it was
the one mr. Price said

He would give to mrs. Brown.

It was time to get some help.

-Where did he go?
-I saw him only a moment ago.

-Paddington?

-Paddington? Where are you?

-This was no ordinary trouble.

This was trouble with
a capital "t", and
mrs. Bird told me who to call

If I ever had a real emergency.

-Anyone who gets a bear to act
as an usher at their wedding

Is asking for trouble!

[Sirens]

-Why, that sounds like a...

It's the fire brigade, and
they've stopped right outside.

But they would only do
that if there's...

Fire!
Everybody out of the church.

-Fire!

-Hurry!

-You should know, bear, that
the emergency telephone number
is only for real emergencies.

-This is a real emergency
if you're a bear.

-Paddington!

-My ring!

-I thought it was the ring
mr. Price said he would give
to mrs. Brown.

-Mrs. Brown?
-Uh, i...

I meant I'd give mrs. Brown
a ring on the telephone!

-Oh dear. When I saw
it by the guest list

I thought I would
save you a journey

And give it to
mrs. Brown myself.

And so I wouldn't
lose it I put it on!

But it got stuck just like now.
-Ha! Ha! Ha!

[Crowd]: oooh!

-I don't believe it!

-Oh!
-If you carry on like this,
it'll save a lot of time

If you're the one that
gets married. Ha! Ha! Ha!

-If it doesn't come off,
perhaps I could come on the
honeymoon with you, miss flint.

I've never been on
one of those before.
-Aaah!

[Paddington]: but you'll be pleased to know, aunt lucy, that the ring did come off.

Mr. And mrs. Price were
so relieved they gave me

An extra slice of wedding cake as a reminder of the day,

And I would like to
share it with you.

-Oh, oh. And what
a buenoreminder it is.

Gracias,paddington.

... Ms. Bird once told me
that a pilgrimage

Is a journey to a place that's
very special to you.

And since I'm very
fond of marmalade,

Seeing the orange groves in
seville, spain, was wonderful.

It's where they grow the finest marmalade oranges in the world!

Mr. Gruber wanted to include the city's famous flamenco festival

In his book,the world
and its wonders.

-Ole! Ole!

-Ole! Ole!

-Senorgruber!

Oh, how wonderful to see you!
This is my daughter maria.

-Anna! And hello, maria.
I would like you
to meet mr. Brown.

-Hola, senores.
Welcome to seville!

-Thank you, maria.

-Come, senorita.dance with me.

-Oh no, no. I couldn't.

-Poor maria. She could be
such a wonderful dancer.

If only she had a
little confidence.
-Anna told us that maria

Dreamed of becoming
a famous dancer.

As for me.

I was surrounded by oranges.

-Anna! Maria!
Thank goodness you are back.

It's good to see you, my
old friend, but forgive me,

I will not be able to spend
much time with you today.

-Papa? What is it?
Is something wrong?

-The oranges have ripened.
We must pick them quickly
or they will begin to rot.

-Rot?

-Are you thinking what
I'm thinking, mr. Brown?

-Wait for us!
We're coming with you!

But, the fiesta?

We will be working all
day and you have come
a long way to see it.

-There will be other
opportunities, my friend.

Right now, saving your
crop is more important.
Let us not waste any more time.

-I've never seen so
many oranges in my life.

-All waiting to be picked and
turned into delicious marmalade,
mr. Brown.

-Then we'd better hurry,
mr. Gruber.

-Caramba!look at
that young bear go.

-Mr. Brown is very motivated
when it comes to marmalade.

-No, senor.like this.

-You are a very
good dancer, maria.

You must enter the festival.

-Oh no, no, I couldn't do that.
I'm far too busy.

Oh, besides, I do
not have a partner.

-That's because you refuse
to dance in front of people.

Why, if you did, you'd
have your pick of young
admirers to dance with.

-Why do they use seville oranges
to make marmalade, mr. Gruber?

-There's only one way
to find out, mr. Brown.

-I had never tasted anything so sour in my entire life.

It's no wonder mrs. Bird puts plenty of sugar in when she makes her marmalade.

[Paddington whistles.]

You forgot these!

-No, no. Those oranges are too
ripe. We will throw them away.

-It seems such a waste.
Unless...

Do you mind if I make marmalade
out of them, mr. Miguel?

-Not at all.

-Senorbrown!

Our work is finished.
Everyone will meet us

At the fiesta's grand finale.
-Something tells me I've
used too much sugar.

-Ah, senorbrown?!

-Could you please give me
a hand? I'm stuck in some
of my marmalade chunks.

-Ay, caramba,this
is some marmalade.

-It's very nearly as
good as mrs. Bird's,
even if I do say so myself.

-What is that noise?

-The pips.

-You sound just like
a flamenco dancer.

-Ole!

Oh-oh!

-Ah!

-I think you've finally
found a dancing partner, maria.

-We need help.

Everyone is at the square
for the grand finale.

-How will we ever
find mr. Gruber?

[Crowd]: ole.bravo. Hourrah!

-No, you don't understand,

We're not dancers.

Ah! So many people.

-Mr. Brown?

-Oups.
-Whoa!

-What kind of flamenco is this?

-I think it's called
the padenco!

-Ahh!

-Oooh!

-Would you like
to dance with me?

-Well done, mr. Brown.
Such original technique.

What is your secret?

Marmalade?

-Maria, you've found
someone else to dance with.

-Yes, this is carlos.

We're going to practice together
and enter next year's fiesta.

And to think, if you
hadn't made such a mess

With your marmalade,
paddington, none of this
would have happened.

Thank you.

-That's the first time
anyone has ever thanked
me for making them sticky.

- Dear aunt lucy, as you know,
I always like getting letters.

And today, I had a very
special one indeed!

-I wonder who it's from?
-Oh, let's see!

"Sir huntley martin requests the
pleasure of mr. Paddington brown

As his guest of honour
on monday the th.

There'll be a tour
of the factory

Followed by a ceremony
to open the new extension."

-Sir huntley martin? Isn't he
the man who makes the nice jams?

-Marmalade. He makes
wonderful marmalade!

-And, he's been kind enough to
invite the rest of us to the
ceremony later in the afternoon.

-Why would he invite paddington
on a tour and to a ceremony?

-Do you remember when I won all
that marmalade at the cut-price
grocers in the market?

-Of course. You were
their millionth customer,

And you were allowed to fill
your shopping trolley with as
many things as it could carry.

Sir huntley was delighted
when he heard I'd filled
it with his marmalade,

And he promised that one day
he'd show me 'round his factory.

-Trust paddington to get himself
invited to a marmalade factory.

-Well, a certain bear has
a lot of cleaning up to do

Before he'll be fit to go on
any tour or attend a ceremony.

-I suppose everyone has
their methods, but anyone would
think I was a rug, not a bear.

Are we almost there?
-Just a couple more miles, guv.

-Miles?

But it's only about
inches on the map.

-Well, enjoy yourself, guv.

You're certainly spruced
up for the occasion.

-Thank you very much.

Oh! My invitation!

Why does it only take a moment
to get dirty when you're clean,

But hours to get clean
when you're dirty?

-Here now. Where do
you think you're going?

-I've come to see
sir huntley martin.

-Humph, I'm sure you have.
And I suppose you left your
rolls around the corner?

-Rolls? I didn't bring
any rolls. I'm here for
the ceremony.

-Ah, the ceremony.
And I suppose your invitation
fell into the gutter.

-How did you know?
Did that happen to yours too?

-Oh!

[Ring!]

-Hello, brown residence.

What? Paddington
hasn't arrived yet?

But he left in a taxi some time
ago. He should be there by now.

Yes, I'll let you know.
Good-bye.

That was sir huntley
martin's secretary.

Paddington is late and they're
wondering if he got lost.

-But how could he be lost?
The taxi was supposed to take
him right to the front door.

-Remember, paddington
is the sort of bear
that things happen to.

-Hard stare or no, the only way
you're getting in this factory
is through the works entrance!

-Well, we are a bit
short-handed.

Come along with me and
I'll put you on trial.

-On trial? I was
expecting a guided tour.

-Now he wants a guided tour!

So where would
you like to start?

-Do you have a
taste-testing department?

-You can't start there.
You'll have to work your
way up from the bottom.

-How about the
chunks department?

Mrs. Bird says I'm an expert
on chunks. Of course, she
has to clean them up.

-Chunks?

Chunks!
I know just the place.

Follow me.

These orange barrels
need cleaning out before
we send them back to spain.

I daresay you might come across
a few chunks while you're at it.

-But it'll take days
to clean all these.

And I've only got
one pair of paws.

-That's all you need.

Just keep at it
until I come back.

-Uh.

Whoa!

It was certainly
a paws-on tour.

-Well, any sign of
our guest of honour?

-I am sorry, sir huntley.

Apparently he left by taxi
some time ago and hasn't
been seen since.

-Tut-tut... And what's the
latest weather forecast?

-There's still a risk of
afternoon thunderstorms.

-I hope our ceremony isn't
a complete wash-out!

-I must say you've
done a good job there.

It's a pity there aren't a few
more bears like you around.

-Thank you, but as much as I'm
enjoying this part of the tour,
I'd like to move on.

-Oh! Oh! Oh!
You're not done yet.

-I'd better hurry up.

I don't want the ceremony
to start without me.

Oooh!

-Still no sign of paddington.
Where could that bear
have got to?

-Please forgive the delay,
ladies and gentlemen,

But we are still awaiting
our guest of honour, so...

-I have never been inside

A washing machine,
but now I know

What a load of wet clothes must feel like!

-I have the strangest
feeling that there's
someone we know in that barrel.

-There you are, my friend.

-Wow! What an entrance!

-And now our guest of honor,
paddington brown,

Will say a few words before we
open the new factory extension.

Mr. Brown?

-Thank you, sir huntley.

I must say your marmalade is
the tastiest in the whole world.

Except of course

For mrs. Bird's.

-Um-um...

-But that's homemade.

-Ha! Ha! Ha!

-But martin's marmalade
does have a lot of chunks.

Why, if you took all the
chunks from just one jar

Of your special marmalade
and laid them end to end,

They would probably stretch
from here, to here!

Whoa!

-Oh.

[Crowd]: oooh!

-These paw prints will
remain here, set in cement,

As a wonderful reminder of the
opening of our new extension!

-In fact, aunt lucy, if all the chunks from all the jars

In sir huntley's new factory were laid end to end

It wouldn't surprise me to find they stretched all the way to darkest peru and back.

-Oh! Oh! Oh!
