I'm Paddington bear!

-Now there, coochie,
coochie, what a pretty baby,

coochie, coochie, rock-a-
bye-baby on the tree top.

-Why Mr. Curry,I didn't know you liked babies!

-Of course I do.
I know everything about them.

And babies love me. - Watch.

Coochie, coochie Maxine.

-Wwwaaaaaa-AAAaaaaaa!!!!

-Hmm! It sounds to me as thoughshe's got a mind of her own.

-Just a touch of wind,
that's all. Nothing a good
pat on the back won't cure.

-Is everything all
right Uncle? How's Maxine?

-She's wonderful, Sheila.
We're getting along fine.

-I'm glad to hear it.

Then do you think I couldleave her with you for a while?

I need to do some shopping.

-You run along my dear. We'll
be okay, won't we Maxine...

Psst! Bear!
Come over here, ...NOW!

-Is anything
the matter, Mr. Curry?

-Why is she crying?
You've been a cub, bear.

What did your Aunt
Lucy do when you cried?

-Well, she used
to lick me, but... The Browns
have a book about babies.

I'll see if
Mrs. Bird knows where it is.

-What kept you bear?
She's done nothing but
cry ever since you left.

-This book
will tell us what to do.

It's called
"Everything you Need to Know
about Bringing up a Child."

Mrs. Brown used
it for Jonathan and Judy.

Bath time.
Sleep time. Feeding time.

Changing time.

-What about stopping
crying time? I can't stand it.

[sniffs]

What's that terrible smell?

-Ah here we are: Crying.

"A baby's crying
is often a sign of discomfort.
Changing the baby may help."

-Changing? No one said
anything about changing her.

-I thought you said
you knew all about babies.

-Not changing them. I'venever changed a baby in my life.

What does your book say?

-It looks a bit complicated.I'm not surprised she's crying.

-I'll get what we need.

Here we are bear. I've got
all the bits and pieces.

Towels... safety pins... powder

-Mrs. Brown's book
says you ought to practice
on something first.

Or someone.

-Someone?

Why me?

Fine. Now we've practiced.
Let me get this over with.

After I gave you that book,
Paddington, I found some toys

that I'm sure the baby
would like to play with.

I'm helping
Mr. Curry change Maxine.

-Good gracious.
Wonders will never cease.

[giggling]

If you ask me, you've
got it the wrong way round.

-BEARRRRR!

-I've seen everything now!

I expect you babysitters
must be getting hungry.

I'll come back with some lunch.

-Thank you Mrs. Bird.

-Let's see. alright.

around this.
woops... under here.

fasten firmly.
and... There! All done.

-Look Mr. Curry. Your niece
must have left this for you.

It looks like a
kit for changing babies.

What will they think ofnext. They don't even need pins.

They... oh... stick...

-Now let me get to work. Hmmm.

Let's see how this goes on.

Ah Ha! I think I've got it!

There now. Nothing to it.

Look what I've found. A bottle.

I expect Maxine's
thirsty after all that crying.

-She's thirsty?!
Give me that bottle bear.

-The book says
the milk should be warm.

-Perhaps you ought to test it
to make sure it's not too hot.

-Owwww! Ohhhh!

-I've burnt my hand now.
It's all your fault, bear.

-I think it's
too hot - Perhaps you should
put the bottle in cold water.

-There there.No more crying. All better now.

-Perhaps you should try patting
her on the back, Mr. Curry.

It's what's known as burping

[burp]

-Bear... there's
something wet down my back...

Now see what you've done
bear. And she's crying again.

Just look at the mess.

-Messes... see baths...

Babies like nothing
better than a good bath,

especially if they
have some toys to play with.

-See ifyou can find something in thosetoys Mrs. Bird brought, bear.

-She seems very
small for such a big bath.

-Mrs. Bird! I'm just takingsome toys up for Maxine's bath.

Why don't you come and watch.

-Your book was
right bear, she loves this.

-You're getting to be avery good babysitter, Mr. Curry.

Perhaps you
should go into business.

-Ahhh!

-Ahhh!

-What a day.

-I shall never be able to look
Mrs. Bird in the face again.

-She keeps pulling
my fur. Now I know why
teddy bears are so popular,

to protect real bears.

-I'll warm it up.
I know, I know... not too hot.

Maybe if we're
lucky she'll fall asleep.

-Look who I met
coming down the street.

I've told her
everything's alright.

-Mr. Curry
is giving Maxine her bottle.

-I hope he's decent, this time.

[snoring]

-Why. hoo... don't
they look cozy together.

Who would have guessed!

-Thank you
so much, uncle Reginald. I
hope everything's been okay.

-Oh yes. Mr. Curry was right.

He does know
everything about babies.

-Yes, well...
it's all very easy, really.

And I'd be happy
to help anytime at all.

-Oh I'm so happy to
hear you say that, uncle.

I've been looking
for someone to take care of

Maxine for a week
while I go on holiday.

Would next Monday be convenient?

-A week...

Monday?

-I think train journeys areexciting, Mr. Gruber. Don't you?

-I do indeed Mr. Brown.

And this one, the
world famous Orient Express,

is perhaps the
most exciting train of all.

Especially tonight,
because for our entertainment

there will
be some dinner theatre.

-Dinner theatre?

Do you mean we're
going to watch people eat?

-No no, Mr. Brown. Ha ha!

While we have ourdinners, actors will perform...

a detective mystery.

And we won't know who the actorsare until the play starts.

-I wonder if we can guess.

-Your Royal Highness.Your table is right this way...

-Oooo! Rock Clifton!!!
Can I have your autograph?

You're my FAVORITE movie star!

-Well, in that case,
I'd be glad to little lady...

-I think this train journey
will make a very interesting

chapter for your book,
The World and its Wonders!

-Your rolls, Monsieur.

-Thank you!

Do you know when the detective
mystery will begin Mr. Gruber?

-Any moment now I should say.

-Woaa.

-Oh dear! Whooooo...

Yeoooowwwch!!!

Hot!

-Oh dear.
I think I'm in trouble again.

-Hot! Hot! Hot!

Woaaaa!

Ahhhs. Wooo...

-Oh. Get off. Get off.

-I'm so sorry

-I don't suppose this isall part of the dinner theatre?!

-OOF!... Eeek!... Aaaaaaa!!!

-Here let me help you.

-What is this mess? Get me up.

-I'm sorry my
jar of marmalade caused so
much trouble your highness.

-Come along, Mr. Brown.

We don't want to
get in the way of the play.

-EEEEEEEEEEEEK!
My bracelet!!! It's gone!!

-This is all my fault. Don'tworry, Your Highness. I'll help.

Bears are good
at finding things.

-I think we've done quite
enough already, Mr. Brown.

-STOP!...

Touch nothing!
It could be evidence!

I am the great detective
Inspector Hercule Aunault.

-How lucky he
happens to be here.

I'm sure he'll be ableto find the princess' bracelet.

-I believe we've found
one of the actors, Mr. Brown.

Remember, the play
is to be a detective mystery.

-Fancy the missing bracelet
being part of the mystery.

-Stop. You! Nobody move.

We must search the
dinning car for it at once.

-But how are
we supposed to search the car
if we're not allowed to move?

-Your attention Please!!

From my search I have deduced
that the Princess' bracelet...

Was stolen!

-Ooooo...

-And I thought it fell off wheneveryone bumped into each other.

-That is
exactly what a master criminal
would want you to think.

But I will uncover
the evidence that will leadstraight to this fiendish thief.

No clue can
escape my watchful eye.

-I wonder if
that marmalade's a clue?

-Of course not. Don't be silly.I have left no rock un-turned.

-There aren't
any rocks on a train.

-It is clear that the thief issomeone... in this dining car!!

-Ooooooo.

Everyone is a suspect.

Silence, s'il vous plaît.
The first clue, you see,

is this partly open window.

The thief lay in
wait on top of the train

until the precise momentthe train entered the tunnel...

then reached into
the car through this window,

snatched the bracelet...
and made good his escape.

-I didn't see
any of that happen.

-Only one among
us could perform such a
daring feat... Rock Clifton!

Star of countless action moviesfeaturing death defying stunts!

-Now hold on there compadre!
I couldn't have done that!

-But he's the one who knockedthe princess over so he couldn't

have been on top of the train.

I think that
actor's forgotten his lines.

-Er...
but of course! Ah... ah...

And that is why I know
the open window is merely a

red herring to throw meoff the trail of the real thief.

-There's
that interesting splotch
of marmalade to consider...

-After examining the facts I amquite certain that "marmalade"

played no part in this crime.

-Hold on, Inspector. I think
this bear may have a point.

-Ah!
Just as I suspected! You wishto distract me from the obvious!

It was you...
The Great Mesmerion!

-What? Me? Who?!

-Mesmerion! The famed hypnotistand master thief who recently

escaped from prison! With
your HYPNOTIC STARE, you took

advantage
of the confusion... and
forced the entranced Princess

to remove her
bracelet and hand it to you!

-That's outrageous!

-But Inspector, this man doesn'tlook anything like the waiter.

-Er... ah, that's whatMesmerion has led you to think.

-Hmmm. What is this?

-You see...
he's hypnotized you all.

-What... oh...

-Excuse me! Mr. Brownhas something to show everyone.

-Oooo!

-The bracelet's been
in my marmalade all this time.

I was right!
It was only lost after all.

My Aunt Lucy taught
me that often the answer lies

right under your nose.

[applause]
-Bravo. What a performance.
Wonderful dinner theatre.

Bravo.
Very good show. Wonderful.

-Congratulations
on your improvisation.
You should take a bow, too.

You gave
a great performance. Couldn't
have done better myself.

-Your jar of
marmalade changed everything
in the play, Mr. Brown.

-We had quite
a time making things up after
the bracelet went missing.

It was supposed to
be the tiara that was stolen.

-I suppose
this is what they mean whenthey say "the show must go on".

[horn honks]

-Please hurry,
Professor Paddington.

-We must rid
ourselves of the Frog of Doom.

-Have no fear, Jonathan. Once
buried, the Frog of Doom will

trouble us no more.

Phew! I wonder if real
archeologists ever bury things
instead of digging them up.

-That bear...
up to his old tricks, eh?

-No one will ever find it now.

-Find what I wonder?

-Cursed be the one
who dares to lift the lid,

for he shall wish he never did.

-We need to cover
it up now, for all eternity.

-Judy. Jonathan.
Paddington. Lunch is ready.

-Coming Mrs. Bird.

-Come on let's go.

-I'm starving.

-What are they
covering up for all eternity?

What have we here?!

Why it's a teapot.
And a nice one at that.

Paddington [echoes]:
-Cursed be the one
who dares to lift

the lid, for he
shall wish he never did.

-Dare to lift the lid.
Ha! What a load of nonsense.

Aaaaaaaaaa! - Ooof!!!

At least now they won't have
to bother filling in the hole.

Ha ha ha ha! It's time
I got myself a new teapot.

And for free to boot.

-Let's continue
our game and finish the partwhere we bury the Frog of Doom.

-Ha! It looks like that
part's been finished for us.

-Then we can
go onto the next part.

Finding the lost
treasure of Arca in the attic.

-Now to try out my new teapot.

Ribbit. Ribbit.

Curse indeed. Ha! Ha! Ha!

-I just passed the building
site at the end of the road.

They're about to bringin one of those wrecking balls.

If you're quick,
you'll see it go past.

-Look. Here it comes now.

[rumbling]

-Whaaaaa...
What's going on here?

Could that bear's curse be true?

-What are you
looking for, Mrs. Bird?

-My old frog teapot.

-Uh...Why do you want that old thing?

-I heard
there's a craze for collecting
old fashioned tea-pots.

I thought
mine might be valuable.

-Valuable?

-I thought
she'd never miss that teapot.

-Perhaps we
should have asked her

before we used
it to play Frog of Doom.

-We'll have it out of thathole and cleaned up in no time.

-If not,
we really will be doomed...

-Now what are they up to?

I thought they'd
buried that teapot for good.

-Who'd have
thought it could be valuable.

-Valuable. Well well well...

-It's gone.

-But how can that be?

-Perhaps there's moreto the curse than we thought...

-Maybe someone took it?

Oh...
what will we tell Mrs. Bird?

-The only
thing we can. The truth.

-Let's wait until tomorrow.

If we're lucky, she'llgive up looking for it by then.

-I don't
know Jonathan. Mrs. Bird has afunny way of finding things out.

-So... it would
appear you are valuable.

I wonder just how valuable.

Very valuable?
Ribbit ribbit. Ha ha ha!

[snoring]

Humm... Oh, the lid...
[thunder]

THE LID!!!

Whaaaaaa! Oh! Oh!

What - wha - what's going on?

Curse or no curse.
I'll be glad to be rid of you.

I'll make the
rounds to the antique market,

and sell you
to the highest bidder.

Bear! Bear!

-I can't
understand where it's got to.

-She's still lookingfor it. We have to tell her now.

-Um... Mrs. Bird.
About your teapot...

-We're very sorry, wehad no idea you still wanted it.

-Here it is. Take it!
I never want to see it again!

You can keep your Frog of Doom.

-My teapot...

-Not the lid. No...
it's cursed... Cursed I say.

-But we were just pretending
about the curse, Mr. Curry.

You didn't really
believe us, did you?

-Pretending?
But... the noises yesterday.

And the lights
and thunder during the night.

And the earth trembling.

-Well there
was a bad storm last night.

-And that building site downthe street's been awfully noisy.

Especially
with that wrecking ball.

-Wrecking ball? Building site?

-See. The wrecking ballcaused the loud noises, and the

underground drilling must have
made your house shake a bit.

And then there was
the thunder and lighting.

-There isn't
any curse, Mr. Curry.

-You and your tricks bear.

You won't have the last
laugh on me. Just you wait.

-Well.
All's well that ends well.

-Not exactly.

What's all this
about the Frog of Doom?

-It's rather
complicated, Mrs. Bird.

But I have a feeling
it's about to strike again.
