-I'm paddington bear!

[Paddington]: dear aunt lucy. Stay
you'll never guess what
I've been doing...

Ballet dancing.

-No, paddington.
Not like that. Like this.

You need grace.

-But I don't know
anyone called grace.

-Grace means to move with ease.

Like zegreat russian
dancer sergei oblomov.

You'll see him perform
at our school concert.

And you'll be able
to meet all my friends.

They've heard so much about you.

[School bell]

-Girls please!

Mr. Oblomov will be here any
moment and I want everything
to be perfect.

-Yes miss grimshaw.

-And I want you to be
on your best behavior.

-Yes miss grimshaw.

-I can't wait to dance the pas
de deuxwith sergei...
He's so dreamy.

-I'm sure he's looking
forward to it too, monica.

Now, girls, remember.
No screaming.

-Yes miss grimshaw.

Look! It's judy and paddington!

-Girls... Come back!

-Yeah! Yeah!

-He feels lovely.
-It's like silky cream.

-You're nicer than your picture.

-Come along... We've
lots to catch up on.

I told mrs. Beedle
all about you.

And she's laid on some special
marmalade sandwiches
in the tuck shop.

-Mrs. Beedle laid on some
marmalade sandwiches?!

-Girls come back! Girls!!

-I'm sure those girls were
meant to swoon over him,
not paddington.

-He's not going to like
it if there's nobody
here to greet him.

-Oh dear. I have a feeling
this is the maestro now.

-Aaah! Oh!

- Vatis this? No fanz?

-Mr. Oblomov.

Uh. We... Uh... They...
Well they were here but eh...

-What she means to say,
mr. Oblomov, is that
the girls were here

But they got
a little sidetracked.

-By vat?

-A bear... Actually...

-A bear?!

Vatbear? Who is zisbear?

-His name's paddington, and...

-Mr. Oblomov.
I'm terribly sorry.

The girls will be here
to greet you at any moment.

-I have never
been so humiliated!

[ ♪♪♪ ]

-Are you enjoying
the ballet so far?

-It's all right. But I can't
hear what they're saying.

-You're not supposed to. You
have to guess what's happening
by the way they're dancing.

-Then it doesn't look
like much is happening.

-Ah!

-What?!

Sergei isn't performing! Why?

-Apparently he's upset because
no one was there to greet him
when he arrived.

And monica is so devastated
she's locked herself
in her room.

-Oh... Paddington,
it's all my fault.

I should have introduced you
to the girls after the show.

-I knew if I didn't do something quickly, the show would be ruined.

-What's going on, darling?

-I smell trouble.

-Speaking of trouble,
where is paddington?

-He was here a moment ago.

Oh no.

-Please, sergei.

-No! I vill not go on.

-He's only a bear.
-Only a bear?

It's a good thing mrs. Bird
didn't hear you say that.

-You!! You are zatbear!

-I am very sorry about what
happened earlier, mr. Oblomov.

The girls will be very
disappointed if you don't dance.

-Vell...

If you insist.

I have changed my mind.

I will not disappoint my fanz.

First I will do my famous
solo zen le pas de deux.

I trust everything izin order?

-No... I mean yes.
I'm sure it will be.

-Paddington. You've got to
stall sergei while I coax
monica out of her room.

-Ah-ah!

-Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
-I'm afraid so.

-You!! Again!!

And what is zis?

-Don't worry, mr. Oblomov.
It's only marmalade.

-Oh.

-Whoa!

-I cannot go on. For once zing,
you have too much shortness,

And for zeesecond think your
entrechats... Zeyare not clean.

-My entrechats are not clean?
But I had a bath last night.

-I do not mean they are dirty.

I mean zeyshould be clean...
Znappy...like so.

-It's a bit difficult

When you've only got paws,
mr. Oblomov,

But I'll have a try.

Aaah!

[Applause]

-Paddington! Are you all right?

-You were wonderful.
Even monica said so.

-How did you manage
those high jumps?

-Cause and effect.

We've removed the cause, and
he'll soon get over the effect.

[Paddington]: so you see,
aunt lucy, dancing with
mr. Oblomov wasn't so hard.

All you need is one large,
open safety pin and
the sky's the limit.

-There you go, mr. Brown, all
polished up and as good as new.

-Thank you very much,
mr. Gruber. I can't think
how it got so scratched.

-When you remember all
the thousands of miles
we have traveled together,

It is not so surprising.
Besides, real leather needs
feeding from time to time.

-Perhaps it would like
some marmalade.

-I think not, mr. Brown.
Do you remember our
first trip together?

I was planning the opening
chapter for my book, the
world and its wonders.

Camera, passport,
travelers cheques...

-Don't forget the map
of france, mr. Gruber.

-Thank you mr. Brown.
Where would I be without you?

-In russia?
-There is many a true word
spoken in jest, mr. Brown.

I could do with someone
like yourself to help me
on my travels.

Always willing
to lend a paw.

Perhaps it isn't such
a fanciful idea after all.

You could be my man friday.

Or perhaps I should
say my bear friday.

-What about the rest
of the week, mr. Gruber?

-Um, if you will
excuse me, mr. Brown.

I have a telephone call to make.

-You want paddington
to go to france with you?
To help you with your book?

The one your millionaire
customer is paying you to write?

Excuse me a minute, mr. Gruber.

Henry!

-I was delighted that you could
accompany me on my trips

To plan itineraries
and do research.

-Yes... And since we
were going to france,

Mr. Brown lent me his old
beret and jonathan gave
me that fake moustache.

But planning an itinerary
wasn't as easy as it sounded.

I think I must have turned
left at the end of windsor
gardens by mistake.

-Paddington?

Are you all right in there?
I hope you haven't made a mess.

I only tidied up this morning.

Paddington?

Oh.

-Excusez-moi?

-I beg your pardon?

-I didn't know you
understood french, mrs. Bird.

You can borrow
my book if you like.

-"Useful phrases for the traveler abroad?"
Um...

Well, you mind you don't
give yourself a headache.
All those new words.

-I won't, mrs. Bird. Au revoir.

Oooh!

-Paddington may
be ready for france,

But are the french
ready for paddington?

-Remember mr. Brown, I'm
counting on you to take
notes for future reference.

-Note number one.
Remember to take notes.

-Paddington, I think
that must be your plane.

Wow!

-Fancy flying

In your own private jet.
-Mr. Gruber's benefactor

Certainly isn't
cutting any corners.

-Oh!

-I'll be interested to see
how many times your passport

Gets stamped before you've
completed your book mr. Gruber.

-Mercy me. Passports!
What about paddington?

-Do bears need one?

-I don't imagine
paddington's got a passport,
knowing his circumstances...

-Did you say there's someone
traveling without a passport?
Where is this individual?

-This definitely isn't
on the itinerary.

Someone has left
their table tennis bats.

-It's paddington.
What's he up to now?

-So, that's the gentleman
in question?

I shall need his
full name and address.

-Well, er... He isn't actually
a gentleman. He's a bear.

We called him paddington
after the train station.

-You're telling me I'm dealing
with a bear. What's more...

One without a passport...

Traveling under
an assumed name?

This will all have to
be fully investigated.

-Put down those paddles!

-But I was only practicing
my table tennis sh*ts,

Then that aeroplane started
coming towards me...

-Now we can get it
from the bear's mouth.
Where are you from?

-Well... It depends.

You see I live at number
windsor gardens, but
I come from darkest peru.

I stowed away
in a lifeboat and...

-A stowaway. This
is a serious matter.

I shall have to ask you
to come with me and have

Your credentials checked.

-Have my credentials checked.
But I felt alright at breakfast.

That's a false moustache
that jonathan gave me.

And that's my notebook.
I'm supposed to write
down everything I see.

-Are you in the pay
of some foreign power?

-Oh no... Mr. Gruber
comes from hungary, but
I don't think he's paying me.

-What's that?
-It's a marmalade sandwich.

I always keep one in case of
emergency... And I think
I've got one coming.

-I wonder what else
you've got hidden away.

There's something very fishy
about this suitcase.

For a start, it's smaller on
the inside than it should be.

-That's because it's got
a secret compartment.

-Oh dear. Paddington can look
very suspicious sometimes.

Especially if you
don't know him.

-Of course I blame myself
for not thinking about

Paddington's circumstances
before I suggested the trip.

-If that bear is in trouble
they'll have me to deal with.

-You don't think they'll send
paddington back to peru, do you?

-They wouldn't, would they?
-They mustn't.
-Over my dead body!

-What would we do without him?
-They can't!

-Hum-um...

-Paddington! What happened?

-Everything was cleared up when
I showed them my passport.

[All]: you have a passport!

-Of course. My aunt lucy would
never have let me travel
all this way without one.

-All is well that ends well,
mr. Brown...

But why ever didn't you say so?

-Nobody asked me, mr. Gruber...
Except for the nice lady.

-The nice lady?

-I must say this marmalade
sandwich is awfully good.

You don't happen to have any
more do you... Hidden away?

-No... But I have a jar
of marmalade if you have
some bread and butter.

-I've said it before,
and I'll say it again.
Bears always land on their feet.

-Mrs. Bird was right, and it's
a good thing they do, mr. Brown.

In our many adventures
since then I've learned

That with you as a travelling
companion, anything can happen.

-And usually does.

... Dear aunt lucy,
just imagine my excitement

When I found the browns and I

Had been invited to
a fancy dress ball!

Of course, such an affair
requires the right clothes.

Not to mention a good tailor.

-Perfect! Don't move.

Hmmm.

Oh dear. This will be difficult.

The gentleman's legs
are a bit...

Hum... Still, we've
never been beaten yet.

May I ask... Is that your copy

Of duncan hyde's
restaurant guide?

Ah, to eat at an establishment
he has rated worthy
of bowler hats!

That would be heaven!

-I'm treating my family
to a lunch out today.

So I asked paddington to find
us a good place to go.

-If I may be so bold...

There's a new restaurant just
opened up underneath this shop.

The food there is
simply exquisite.

-So you've tried it then.

-Well... No...
But the menu is a work of art.

-Why not?

Paddington, we'll meet you there
when you are finished here.

-Hmm.

Speaking of bowlers.

An inspiration!

I have a feeling
this is the beginning

Of a great adventure

-The tailor wanted to deliver the suit, but I decided to wear it there and then.

I couldn't wait to show the browns my new outfit.

-I don't understand it!

We've been open for weeks now
and still no sign of a review
in the paper from duncan hyde!

If only we knew what
he looked like!

All we have to go on is
his silly newspaper picture!

How am I supposed
to attract business

If the most famous restaurant
reviewer in london

Won't even step
through my door?

Uh!

It's him! At last!

-Ahem!

May I be of assistance, sir?

-I noticed you are not in
the book. But I was hoping
to do some tasting later on.

I think some of your dishes
might be worth a bowler.

-Good afternoon, sir!

May I say what an honour it is
to have you here with us today!

May I show you to
our very best table?

-This restaurant was seeming nicer by the minute, aunt lucy.

I was sure duncan
hyde would enjoy it!

-Get this gentleman
whatever he wants!

He need only sign the bill.

-You might like to try
the chef's salad bombay
or the shish kebab flambe,

The fruits de mer saute...
Or perhaps the risotto bato?

-Those all sound good.
-Such dedication to duty!

Start the gentleman
on the salad bombay.

-I had never seen such
food before, aunt lucy.

The first dish
cleansed my palate,

And the second warmed it up.

I plunged into the
third course with gusto.

All in all... It was
a magical experience.

-Peking duck.

Rack of lamb.

-Goodness, look at how much
that bear has eaten!

-Do you think he's trying for
some sort of world record?

-Would sir care for a digestif?

Cognac? Armagnac? Cointreau?

Or perhaps a nice
chilled dessert wine?

-Do you have any hot cocoa?

-I have a feeling you're
trying to catch us out!

Perhaps you would like
to cast an eye over our
selection of sweet temptations?

-I'd rather eat them. But I
really should save some room.

I'm having lunch
with the browns.

-Oh, how nice!

-Look at how much he's eaten.

It must be some kind
of publicity stunt
to drum up customers.

-Well, he's certainly
making me feel hungry.

-Goodness, what a popular place!
I hope we can get a table.

-I don't see paddington. He
must still be at the tailor's.

-If you would just
sign this, sir.

-What's this?

Do you mean to say you're not
duncan hyde, the famous gourmet?

-Duncan hyde? My name's
paddington brown, from
darkest peru!

[Crowd]: I saw it all.
Most extraordinary. Hollow leg!

-A bear with hollow legs?
-And no money!

-Come on everyone. I think
we have some rescuing to do!

Excuse us!

- Pounds? For a meal?
-About meals by my reckoning.

- Pounds for a
bombe surprise!

-That's all part
of the surprise.

-Well I've got one for you!
I've only got pence.

-Does this young
bear belong to you?

-Well, actually, hum.

-Henry, how could you?

-Since you ask, I'm afraid he
does. Belong to us, that is.

Yeh!!!

-Come come now,

No need to worry
about mere money!

Having that bear in here has
brought me more customers

Than even the best review
from duncan hyde!

I owe you a vote of thanks,
my young friend!

Please, sit, everyone!

As friends of this bear,
you are all welcome to
lunch on the house!

-Well, paddington,
why don't you order first?

-I think perhaps I might just
sit and watch, if you
don't mind, mr. Brown.

But I know what I would
like to do first.

May I please borrow a pen?
-Of course!

-I'm afraid I can't award
you any bowler hats...

But here are peruvian
ones instead.
