-I'm paddington bear!

-Dear aunt lucy. Last night,

I gave the browns some
of my special homemade
toffee for dessert.

What do you think
of it, mr. Brown?

-It's uh...

Quite unique.

-Where did you find
the recipe, paddington?

-It was handed down to me
by my uncle in darkest peru,
mrs. Brown.

-I should think he was
glad to be rid of it.

-More toffee?
-Oh!

-I was just about
to brush my teeth,

But I couldn't resist one more piece of toffee.

My uncle used to say it's very good exercise for the jaws.

-I think paddington's toffee
could have industrial
applications

As a super-cement.
[Paddington]: aaah!

-Paddington! What's wrong?

-I've lost one of my teeth.
I know I had it this morning!

-I can see where it was.

The bottom half is there, but
the top must have broken off.

-But I've had that
tooth since I was born.
And it was my best one!

-It's a pity you've
lost your broken piece.

You could have left it under
your pillow for the tooth fairy.

-She would have given
you pence for it!

-Perhaps we can find it!

-We've searched everywhere,
but no luck.

-That means I shan't
get my five pence.

-Cheer up, paddington,
it could have been worse.

If you'd lost a whole tooth,
it would have been pence.

- Pence?! Someone ought
to tell the tooth fairy

Bear's teeth are worth a
lot more than that. I bet
she's got all her teeth.

-Are you all right,
paddington? Does it hurt?

-It doesn't hurt, mrs. Brown.
It just feels empty.

I had to take good care of
what was left. You never
know with tooth fairies.

I don't think I shall have
any breakfast this morning.

The spot where my tooth
was is starting to hurt.

-That's it. I'm
calling the dentist.

-I wonder if we should be
taking him to the dentist,
or the vet.

-The vet?!

-It was good of mr. Leach

To see a new patient
like paddington so quickly.

-Who said anything about
paddington?

I simply said there was
an emergency in the family.

-Don't you think you're a
little overdressed, paddington?

-Jonathan told me
I might be frozen.

-Oh! He didn't mean
the whole of you, dear.

Just the bit 'round your
tooth, so that it won't hurt.

-There's nothing to be
afraid of, paddington.

Mr. Leach has been
practicing for years.

-Practicing?! Couldn't we
pay extra and get someone
who knows what he's doing?

-Open wide.
We're ready to begin.

I'm afraid I shall
have to charge extra.
Bears have teeth.

-But I've only got
and a half.

-That's still and a half
more than I normally deal with.
-I expect some of mine

Are spares in case of an
emergency. Like the marmalade
sandwich I keep under my hat.

-Hmm... It looks to me as
though we've been eating

Something we shouldn't...

-Have you been making
toffee too, mr. Leach?

-No, I haven't. Now open wide.

-I must say going to the
dentist wasn't as bad as
I thought it might be.

There was a comfortable chair, a lamp to keep me warm,

And it was all over in no time.-There!

-Thank you very much, mr. Leach.
I didn't feel a thing.

-That's because I haven't
done anything yet. I have to
give you an injection first.

Now, just stay where you are for
a moment, I'll be right back.

-I thought the injection
must be the freezing
jonathan told me about,

So I decided to have
some fruit juice first.

Yuck!

Oops!

Then, I noticed that
mr. Leach had left his
vacuum cleaner plugged in.

-Well, it seems we're all
comfortable and ready to start.

Open wide, please.

-How do you think it's going?
It's awfully quiet in there.

-They say no news is good news.

-Are we ready for
our injection now?

And please understand -

This will hurt me more than
it will hurt you. There we go.

All done!
-That didn't hurt at all.
Would you like me to give you

Your injection now, mr. Leach?

-Certainly not. Whatever next?

-But you said yours
would hurt more than mine.

-I need to take
a wax impression.

Now, say "ah". Then, bite
down hard and don't let go
for anything.

-Aah...

-Aaah!!!

-Oh dear!

-That was my thumb,
or what's left of it.

-But you said don't let
go for anything, mr. Leach.

-Would you like us to
come back another day?
-No. No...

When I first became a dentist
I was told some days would be
worse than others,

And I won't be beaten now. If
I'm going to fit this young bear

With a new gold top to
his tooth, I'm going
to finish the job!

-A new gold top?

-It'll make you even more
valuable than you are now.

-Thank you very much,
mr. Leach.

Perhaps you'd like
to try one of these?

-I, uh... That's very kind of
you. I don't normally indulge.

It doesn't set a very
good example. But perhaps
just this once.

-Oh dear, mr. Leach. I hope
you haven't done what I did.

But I'm afraid
he had, aunt lucy.

On the other hand,
it gave me an idea.

I unwrapped the toffee I'd started the night before, and there was my tooth!

I put the pence the tooth fairy left me towards buying

The ingredients for
making softer toffee.
I hope you enjoy it.

-Oh!

Nurse!

- Mr.gruber and I were visiting
london's natural history museum

Where there was the most

Amazing thing
I had ever seen!

What is it, mr. Gruber?

- That's a diplodocus. One of
the largest dinosaurs

Ever to roam the earth.

- Large?... It's huge!

But just skin and bones.

[Tap-tap-tap]

Well, just bones, actually.

-It's a fossil of a
dinosaur that lived
millions of years ago.

-Oh! I was wondering how
it got down those stairs.

Wouldn't a creature like that

Make a wonderful
chapter in your book...

-The world and its wonders!precisely why I've brought
you here, mr. Brown.

We're off to visit an old
friend of mine in canada,

To go on a dinosaur dig,

In the alberta badlands.

-Peek-a-boo!
-Ah!

-Hey, gruber!
Long time no see!

-Indeed it is, dr. Canmore.
And may I introduce you to
my friend...

-Paddington brown, of ,
windsor gardens, london.
Originally of darkest peru.

-Pleased to meet you,
paddington! I see you admire

Our albertosaurus, originally
of the darkest jurassic.

The albertosaurus was
one of the fiercest
flesh-eating dinosaurs...

-Flesh-eating?

-Speaking of eating, we've
finished, but do you guys
want some lunch?

-No, thank you. I'm
not particularly hungry
right now, doctor.

Why is a doctor needed here?
Are the dinosaurs ill?

-No! No, mr. Brown. Dr. Canmore
is a paleontologist, a scientist
who studies ancient life.

-That means anything before
gruber here was born! Come
on, I'll show you around.

This is where we dump rock
after checking it for fossils.

There's a lot of digging
in paleontology.

-Bears are good at digging.
Perhaps I could be

A paleotool...
A palotoly... A palo...

-Ha! Ha! Ha!

-Think of dr. Canmore as a...
A dinosaur detective, mr. Brown.

-A detective! That means you
have to search for clues.

-Yes, but my clues are hundreds
of millions of years old.

In fact, you're standing
in one right now!

-Ah! A footprint!

-Paddington, I'd like you to
meet my research assistant,

Archibald didsbury.

Why don't you show paddington
around your dig.

-According to mr. Didsbury the dry badlands used
to be a big wet swamp

When the dinosaurs lived here. It all seemed quite fantastic.

-Don't touch that!

Paleontology is a
most precise science.

We must know the exact
position of every bone.

-Oh, I wasn't going to move it,
mr. Didsbury, it's much too big.
-Any mistake could mean

A difference of millions of
years in our calculations.

Very important, especially
if we discover a new dinosaur.

-There are new dinosaurs,
mr. Didsbury? Live ones?

-All dinosaurs are old and dead.

There are just some we
haven't found yet.

Hand me that brush, please.

Oh!

-Oh! I'm sorry, mr. Didsbury!

-Say, uh... Paddington,
isn't it? It would be
a great help to us

If you could check to see
if we missed any fossils back
at where the big machine is.

-I'd love to help, mr. Didsbury!
But will the hose go that far?

-No need for the hose.

Just get out of here! Uh...
I mean, just get digging.

-It was a big responsibility to be in charge of a dig

On my first day as a
paleotol... Palotoly...
Dinosaur detective!

-Mr. Didsbury! Mr. Didsbury!
-Ow!

-Mr. Didsbury! I found a fossil!
-Where?

-It's not a big one,
I'm afraid, but have you
ever seen one like it?

-Yes, it was called lunch!

-My dinosaur!

My marmalade! Whoa!

Luckily I still had
a bit of string,

So I thought I'd try using it to get my marmalade back.

-Hey, didsbury!
-Ah!

-Oh! I thought you were that
bear! If he isn't soaking me,

He's making dinosaurs out
of chicken bones and...

Ah! Now, what has he done?!

-Mr. Gruber!

-I've got you, mr. Brown!

-A fossil! I... I've never
seen anything like it!

-It's some kind of
hair-bearing therapsid,

From the permian period, an
ancestor of today's mammals!

-Mr. Brown! I've got you,
mr. Brown!

Look, mr. Brown,
if you screw up your eyes,
it almost looks as though

It could have been pushing some
kind of early shopping basket
on wheels which has tipped over.

But perhaps it had an
accident on its way home
with the shopping.

-Maybe he didn't make it
because there was some
cataclysmic upheaval.

-You should look
around, mr. Brown,

And see if there is
any prehistoric shopping
lying around.

-I'm afraid not, mr. Gruber.
There's only my jar
of marmalade.

But my jar had a label.
Could it have belonged
to the dinosaurs after all?

-We will never know
the truth, mr. Brown.

But in this world of wonders,
all things are possible.

In any case, this will make
a good ending to my chapter.

-Actually, I know an even
better one! Paddington gets
to name this new discovery.

-I would like to name this
new species of dinosaur,

The paddingsaurus marmaladus!

... Dear aunt lucy, last
saturday mr. Brown took us

To brightsea for the day.

And I went on the pier.

There was so much going on,

I didn't know what to
look at first.

Did you see that?

That lady looks as though
she's gliding on water.

- It's called water-skiing.

I wish I could do that.

- I wonder where
you get the skiis.

- At signor alberto's
water-skiing school.

Look!

Signor alberto guarantees
to teach anyone to ski.

"Crash courses given daily."

- Crash courses!!

I'm not sure I like
the sound of that.

Come along everyone,
the browns will

Be wondering where
we've got to.

- If I may, ms. Bird, I'd like
to stay here for a while.

- All right then. We'll
be at the fun fair.

-Oops!

Mrs. Bird, you forgot
your umbrella!

Mrs bird!

Oh dear, I'd better
hang on to it for her.

I wanted to know more about these "crash courses",

So I went off in search
of signor alberto.

-It's a day at the pier,
and we're here

With local water-skiing
instructor, signor alberto.
Tell me, signor.

How's business?

-Well, darling, used to be
everybody wants to water-ski.

Now its parasailing!

Eh... What's you gonna do?
Life has its ups and it has
its downs!

-Excuse me, signor alberto?

If I took one of your crash
courses, would I need a helmet?

-Crash courses?!!

-No, no, no! It's just
an expression!

No one is crashing!

It's "hurry up to learn",
capisce?!

-A television camera! Is your
program shown in darkest peru?

Hello, aunt lucy! I hope
you got my last postcard!

-Hey, sonny, we
are very busy here!

-But I only wanted to inquire
about water-skiing lessons.

-Anytime, anywhere!

At signor alberto's school of water-skiing,
I can
teach anyone to water-ski.

Only not today, I'm busy
with this very important
television interview.

He!

-So sorry, signor, we just
don't have time to wait!
Perhaps some other time. Ciao!

-Ah! Mister alberto,
might you have the time now?

-Mamma mia!after you lose
me all that free publicity!

Not a chance you get
a lesson from a me!

[Sighing]

-Here now, why so glum?

-I wanted to take one of
signor alberto's crash courses.
-Excuse me, lad.

That wouldn't be a marmalade
sandwich, would it?

-Yes. Would you like half?

-Don't mind if I do.
Stanley's the name.

-I'm paddington brown.
Pleased to meet you.

-You can't fool me!

I knows a marmalade sandwich
when I smells one!

-Paddington, meet
my good friend oliver.

-Would you like my
half, mr. Oliver?

-Right neighborly of you,
paddington, I was feeling
a bit peckish.

But what are you gonna eat?

-Not to worry, mr. Oliver.
I always keep a spare one under
my hat in case of an emergency.

[They're laughing.]

-Ah! Eating again, eh?

And who's lunch might you be
scrounging off this time?

-Paddington here practically
forced it on us!

A regular silver tongue
if ever I heard one!

-Yes, and I'm the queen mother.

Come on then, boys, or we'll
miss the hairy legs contest!

-Would you happen to know what
the first prize is this week?
-You'll never guess.

A water-skiing lesson

From signor alberto.

-Did someone mention
a hairy legs contest?

-Very hairy indeed!
-Ha! Ha! Ha!

-What do you mean
paddington's entered a contest?
[Children]: you'll see!

-Finally, something
halfway interesting
to use for our report!

-What "day at the pier" would
be complete without a contest or
two? And today is no exception!

-Well then, ladies and
gentlemen, you've seen
all the contestants.

Remember, it's your applause
that will choose the winner
of our hairy legs contest.

-Who, let's not forget, will
receive a free crash course!

[All]: crash course?!

-Did I say crash course?

I meant "hurry up
to learn" course!

Capisce?

-Is it contestant number ?
[Applause]

Or is it number ?
[Applause]

Or number ?
[Louder applause]

Yes, it's number !

Let's hear it for number !

Here is our winner!
Hey, wait a minute.

You're a bear! A bear can't
win a hairy legs contest!

-You didn't say anything about
bears not being able to enter!

-That's discrimination, that is!

-Give him the prize.
-Uh... Er...

-Well, like I said,
we have our winner!

-No!

I cannot teach a bear
to water-ski.

-But your poster said
you can teach anyone.

-Huh!

-What do you say to
that, signor alberto?

-Uh... Like I said. Anyone.

-Anyone!

The funny thing about
life, aunt lucy,

Is that sometimes you
get what you wished for,

And other times you begin to wish you hadn't wished for it in the first place.

-Keep your legs together
and your knees bent!

And just shout when
you're ready to go faster!

-I'm afraid my knees are a bit
near the water to start with!

-Okay! Faster it is.

-Oh dear! Signor alberto,
I can't seem to master this!

-Faster this? Okay!

-Signor alberto, slow down!

Oh no! Not up! Down!

-Wow! Look at paddington.

-Now, who says you can't
teach an old dog new tricks!

It certainly looks like
business will be picking
up, signor alberto!

-Well, it's like I said.
Life has its ups and it has
its downs.

And now, thanks to this
young bear's gimmick,

It has its ups.

-I thought you might enjoy seeing these photographs,

Which mr. Brown took of my first flight, aunt lucy.

But I think from now on, I'll leave the flying to the birds.

Because like the old
saying goes, what
goes up, must come down.

-Ah, nephew. Ha! Ha! Ha!

You certainly are a bear
who has his paws firmly
rooted on the ground...

Most of the time!
