-I'm paddington bear!

- Dear aunt lucy,
mr. Brown found

His old sailing cap
when he cleaned out the shed,

And instead of throwing it out
with the rest of the rubbish,

He gave it to me. It
didn't fit over my hat,

But it did come in handy
while I was picking

Berries for ms. Bird.

And that's when I noticed something very strange

In mr. Curry's garden.

It looked as though
he was getting ready

For a garden party,
but he never has those.

And then he started

Doing the strangest
thing with an old rag.

-Ah, nothing like
a fresh summer day

To clear the mind
and relax the body.

Ow.

[ Hollering ]

-Mr. Curry. Are you all right?

-Of course I'm not all right,
bear. Now help me up.

-Perhaps you should put your
rake away before your party.

Then no one else will get hurt.

-Party? What party?

Are you spying on me, bear?

I've a good mind to report you.

-I wasn't spying, mr. Curry.

I was just looking
at that old rag

You are hanging between
your trees.

-Old rag!

It's not a rag, it's a hammock!

-A hammock!

-Shhhhh...

There's no need to broadcast it
to the whole neighborhood, bear.

Promise not to tell anyone, and
I may let you have a go on it.

-Thank you very much, mr. Curry.

I don't think I've ever
been on a hammock before.

-Sailors used to sleep
on them aboard ship.

Ah...a sailing cap.

May I borrow it, bear?

It will help set the mood.

-Yes, mr. Curry, but...

-Beaarrrrr!

-Oh, dear! I'm sorry, mr. Curry.

Is there anything I can do?

-Yes. You can tie the other end
of the hammock to the tree

While I go inside to change.

Then I shall take
a well-deserved rest

After a hard week's work.

-I shall have to tell
mrs. Bird that she's wrong.

She says you haven't done
a day's work in your life.

-Why, I never...

Oh, the nerve of that woman.

-Are you sure your hammock
is safe, mr. Curry?

-Safe? Of course it's safe.

It may have one or two holes
here and there.

-One or two?

There's one here
and there and here.

I think you may have
some hammock moths.

-Hmm.

Bear,

After you finish
tying it to the tree,

You can test it to make sure
it's perfectly sa--

Er, comfortable.

And don't touch a drop
of my lemonade.

I shall know if you have.

I've marked the jug.

-Getting into
mr. Curry's hammock

Wasn't as easy as it looked.

I could have done with
a book of instructions.

-Bear! Stop swinging
and get to work!

-My best marmalade sandwich!

At least it softened
my landing.

It was time for plan b.

Umph!

-Bear...

There's no time to lie around.

Get cracking.

[ Muttering ]

[ Sighing ]

-It was just a matter of proper
timing to hit the target.

-How is the hammock, bear?

-It's a little snug, mr. Curry.

And I certainly
wouldn't call it relaxing.

Mr. Curry said
not to touch his lemonade,

So I was sure he would be upset that I had spilt some.

Ha.

Hopefully mr. Curry won't notice
that it's been watered down.

I still had to find
a way onto the hammock.

Hmm.

-I do hope paddington
comes back soon.

Henry said he was coming home
early with a special surprise.

-Since bears are good
at climbing,

It was time for plan c.

Mmm.

And after all of my efforts,
I'm sure mr. Curry

Wouldn't begrudge me
one small apple.

-What are you doing
up there, bear?

-Plan c, mr. Curry.

"C" for catastrophe.

-How dare you pick my apples
without permission?

My lemonade!

Argh!

Why, you! Beaaarrrrr!

Get me out of here!

-I'm sorry, mr. Curry.

It's just that
the hose slipped and...

[ Coughing ]

-Give me that hose.

Ooh!

[ Gasping ]

-Why, that mr. Curry...

-What are you doing, mr. Curry?

You soaked this shirt.

-What am I doing?

It's all that bear's fault.

-I'm sorry, mrs. Bird.

I was helping mr. Curry
with his new hammock.

-His new hammock, did you say?

But that's our old hammock.

Henry put it out with the other
rubbish from the shed yesterday.

-What ever is happening
over here?

-Paddington's been trying out
mr. Curry's newhammock.

-Oh, don't get on that.
It's completely rotten.

-Rotten?

But mr. Curry asked me
to test it for him.

-Is this true, mr. Curry?

Imagine putting
a young bear at risk.

[ Gulping ]

-Well, i, er...
You see...it was...

[ Laughing ]

-Forget about that old hammock.

Look. I've got
a new one right here.

If you like, mr. Curry,
you can come over

And try it when I've set it up.

-If you wait a few years,
it may get thrown out too.

Then you'll have two hammocks.

[ Grumbling ]

[ Laughing ]

I think it will be
a while before I go

Anywhere near another hammock, aunt lucy.

Mr. Brown said I could
be the first to try out

His new one, but you
taught me to be polite,

So I've been saying
"after you" to everyone.

-Ah, nephew, you don't know
what you're missing.

- Here we are mr. Brown

In the medieval town of
charlemagne, germany.

It's the setting for the
next chapter of my book,

The world and it's wonders.

- I thought we came to see
knights in shining armour.

As well as your friend,
herbert von dulong.

I don't know about the knights,
but if you ask me,

Everyone here dresses
a little strangely.

- A wise bear,
it is 'oft I'm told,

Knows all that glitters
is not gold!

Knows all that glitters
is not gold!

- They have a funny way
of putting things too!

- Oh, he talks that way because
he's a fool, mr. Brown.

- Mr. Gruber! It's
not like you to be rude.

- Ha ha! Not that
kind of fool, mr. Brown.

I mean, he's a jester.

You see, every year, the
people of charlemagne dress up

And pretend to be someone
from the olden days.

It's part of
a medieval festival

Celebrating
the town's history.

Ng ]

-Ha, ha, ha, ha.

-Oh, that crazy
locksmith rutger.

Every year he plays
the black knight, and every year

He has to pretend he's more
evil than the year before!

-Herbert. Is that you?

-Samuel! You made it.

Ahem, yes,

It is i, but today I am
known as the white knight.

-Well, then, brave white knight,
allow me to introduce

My dear friend,
mr. Paddington brown.

-A great honour it is,

But I have terrible news.

I am to be disqualified
from the jousting matches.

-Disqualified? But why?

-My squire became ill
this morning.

And without one, I cannot joust!

It is so dictated.

-But that's awful!

Is there no one else
who can help you?

-Excuse me, mr. Knight.

I'm not a squire, but bears
are very good at helping.

-Be you brave, honest and
true, as all squires must be?

-My aunt lucy thinks so.

-Then do not loiter,
squire paddington!

-Excuse me, mr. Knight,
but what exactly is

A jousting competition?

-It is when knights ride
their horses at one another

And try to knock the other
to the ground with lances.

The one who touches the ground
first is thus defeated.

[ Gulping ]

-Knights of charlemagne, you are
the finalists in the battle

For my hand in marriage.

-Her hand?
But what about the rest of her?

-It's a figure of speech,
mr. Brown.

It's an old medieval tradition.

-May you all remain true to your
code of honour until the joust.

-Ha, ha, where did you find

Your squire white knight?

In a zoo?

-In a zoo!

I'm from peru, darkest peru.

-You are doomed, white knight,

For i, the black knight,
shall be victorious once more!

-If you do win again,
it will only be

Through acts of treachery!

Goodness, paddington!
Have you polished armour before?

You're very good at it!

-No, but I've watched
mrs. Bird polish her silver.

You can see her face in it.

-Arghhh.

I'm supposed to be a knight
in shining armour,

Not pink armor!

I can't joust in this!

-Oh, no, someone has put
glue in my helmet!

If I put it on,
I'll never get it off!

-Oh, don't tell me
these knights can't compete?

[ Laughing ]

Isn't that a shame?

Everyone's having such bad luck!

-Forewarned is forearmed.

-The fool wasn't
so silly after all.

As mr. Knight's squire,
I had to be on the lookout.

-Help! Heeeeeelp!

-What is it, black knight?

-I'm not playing
knights now, herbert.

There's no time to explain.

Hurry. Please.

-Stay here, paddington.

-Hurry! Hurry!

You'll see what's wrong
in a moment.

Through here.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,
such trusting

Souls are too easy to fool.

-Rutger! Really!
This is too much!

-No...it is just enough
to ensure victory is mine.

-Goodness, black knight,
where are the other brave souls?

-I'm afraid I shall be the only
contestant today, fair maiden.

-What? What happened
to the others?

Where are their squires?

-Here I am! But my knight
seems to have disappeared.

-In that case, fair squire,
you must ride in his place!

Tradition dictates it!

Besides, there's no way
I'm even pretending

To marry the black knight.

-Are you serious?

You dare compete with me?

Look what you've done!

Swine!

That will cost you dearly,
I promise you!

-It already has.

A whole jar of marmalade.

Vengeance shall be mine.

I was starting
to get in the mood.

-The contest
has commenced without me!

All is lost.

-No, wait. Look.

It's mr. Brown.

-Ugh.

Wretched marmalade.

-May the best knight win!

-Ha! Foolish knight,
come and meet your master.

Ooof!

[ Cheering ]

-It was a foul.

He put marmalade
all over my lance.

I demand a rematch.

[ Giggling ]

-Nonsense, black knight. It was
a case of the biter being bit.

I declare our honoured
guest the winner.

-Well done, mr. Brown!

-Honoured bear, you embody
the true spirit of a knight

And may claim your prize.

Yuck!

What's this?

Ooh, marmalade?

I hate marmalade!

-Then I fear, fair maiden,
we cannot be wed.

-In matters of taste,
I am afraid,

A bear will always
choose marmalade!

-No truer words
were ever spoken.

- Ahhh!

- Wallpaper... If only...

Two weeks had gone by
since mr. Brown announced

He would redecorate my bedroom.

But he still hadn't started.

And I was beginning
to think I'd have to live

In the guestroom forever.

But then things
began to look up.

-There you are, henry.

Now you've no excuse for leaving

Paddington's room
a moment longer.

-Then I'll start bright
and early...in a few days.

-That's what you said last week.

Why not begin this morning?

-Because I won't be able
to finish it today, and tomorrow

We have a wedding to go to.

Like mrs. Bird says,
there's no point

Starting a job
if you can't finish it.

-I've never heard you say that.

But I have said,
"don't put off until tomorrow

What you can do today."

-Henry, paddington's
been waiting

Two weeks already.

-Don't worry, paddington.

Dad can't put it off forever.

-Goodness knows he's trying to.

Your father isn't
very fond of decorating.

-Perhaps he ought to pay someone
to do the work for him.

-Hurry, everyone, or we'll
be late for the wedding.

-Allow me, mr. Brown.

Here, I'll get that
for you, mrs. Bird.

-Thank you, paddington.

-I hope you won't be at
a loose end

While we're gone for the day.

Don't worry about me,
mrs. Brown; I get my best ideas

When I'm at a loose end.

-Whoa!

Hmm, I don't like
the sound of that.

-There was no reason
for mr. Brown

To pay someone to decorate,

Not when he had an extra pair of handy paws in the house.

Painting the window frame looks like a good place to start.

Now I must be careful
not to spill any.

This didn't happen to
the workmen next door.

Perhaps the window frame
wasn't the best place

To start after all.

I realized I should have started with the ceiling,

Because I could then cover any paint drips with the wallpaper.

That's just what I need.

[ Humming ]

Bears never stay down for long.

Whoaaa!

Heeelllp!

Aunt lucy always told
me that what goes up,

Must come down.

Whoa!

And she was right.

Oh, dear.

Luckily, I'm not the sort of bear who gives up easily.

This was the part I'd
been looking forward to.

I decided it was
why they invented

Wallpaper in the first place -- to cover up any splodges.

Now for the paste.

Woop!

Why is it things
that look easy are often

The hardest of all to do right?

But I discovered that
once you get the hang

Of putting the paste
on the paper,

Wallpapering really isn't very difficult at all.

Except you have to
be careful to cover the wall and not yourself.

I'd better hurry if I'm
to give mr. Brown a surprise.

The trick is getting the paper to stick straight.

It doesn't look so bad.

The overall effect
is quite nice,

Especially if you turn
your head and squint a bit.

Hmm.

Someone must have stolen the
door while my back was turned!

Help.

-Paddington, we're home!

Paddington?

-I don't like the sound of that.

-I didn't hear anything.

-Exactly.

-Shhh. Listen. Three fast.
Three slow. Three fast.

Uh-oh! That's an s.o.s.!

Coming, paddington.

-Oh, no! It can't be!

-We cannot leave you
alone for five minutes.

[ Laughing ]

-I think I must have papered
over the door by mistake

While I was doing
the decorating.

It was meant to be a surprise.

I expect it will look
better when it's dry.

-If this paint dries,
we'll never

Get a comb through your fur.

It's bath time
for a certain young bear.

-It's a shame we can't give
the entire room a bath.

-That settles it, henry.

We simply must hire
some professional decorators.

-Oh, if you insist, mary.

-I was in trouble again, and I wasn't looking forward

To another of
mr. Brown's little chats.

-Good job, paddington.

Now I won't have to do
the decorating!

Here's an extra pound
for your pocket money.

-Oh!

-Thanks to you, paddington,
we'll finally

Get the job done properly,
and the decorators

Will be finished in no time.

Here's a pound for your work.

-Well done, paddington.

Because they're going
to hire professionals,

I won't have to do
any of the cleaning up!

Here's a pound
as a little thank you.

-I wonder how much I would get

If I offered to paint
and paper the whole house.
