Quotes 

• Paddington : Mrs Brown says that in London everyone is different, and that means anyone can fit in. I think she must be right - because although I don't look like anyone else, I really do feel at home. I'll never be like other people, but that's alright, because I'm a bear. A bear called Paddington.

• Paddington : [Henry Brown is brushing his teeth with the toothbrush Paddington got his earwax on the day before]  Um, you're not using those ear brushes to clean your mouth are you, Mr Brown?

• Mary Brown : Oh, look, Henry. It's perfect!

  [Paddington is holding a squeezy tomato ketchup bottle] 

  Henry Brown : You want to call him Ketchup?

  Mary Brown : What?

  Henry Brown : Ketchup The Bear?

  [Mary is looking at the "Paddington" station sign] 

  Mary Brown : No. Paddington!

  Judy Brown : Paddington?

  Paddington : Paddington?... Pa... dding... ton.

• Paddington : Dear Aunt Lucy. I'm sorry I haven't written sooner but so much has been happening. I even met the explorer's daughter, but she tried to stuff me, so Mrs. Bird threw her off a roof. Millicent Clyde. The Judge didn't think that prison would do her any good. So instead he gave her community service...

  Millicent : No Please! Anything! Anything but that!

  Paddington : In the petting zoo.

• Henry Brown : Paddington, please don't take this the wrong way, but are you certain there was an explorer? You didn't just find a hat and make up some...

  [Paddington glowers at him] 

  Henry Brown : What? Why are you looking at me like that? Is it me or is it hot in here? Why do I feel so...

  Paddington : Uncomfortable?

  Henry Brown : Mmm.

  Paddington : Flushed?

  Henry Brown : Mmm.

  Paddington : Queasy?

  Henry Brown : Mmm.

  Paddington : [stopping]  It's called a hard stare. My aunt taught me to do them when people had forgotten their manners.

• Millicent : Come on, hand over the bear.

  Mary Brown : No. We won't do that.

  Paddington : Mrs. Brown?

  Mary Brown : He's family.

  Millicent : Family? You're not even the same species.

  Paddington : It's true.

  Henry Brown : It is true. And when I first met Paddington, I wanted nothing to do with him. But my wonderful wife... she opened her heart to him, and so did my incredible children. And now I have, too.

  Mary Brown : Henry.

  Henry Brown : It doesn't matter that he comes from the other side of the world, or that he's a different species. Or that he has a worrying marmalade habit. We love Paddington. And that makes him family! And families stick together! So if you want him, you'll have to take us all!

  Millicent : Okay, then.

• Henry Brown : Paddington! Up here!

  Paddington : [waking from a tranquilizer stupor]  Is that you, God?

  Henry Brown : What?

  Paddington : It's just you sound a lot more like Mr. Brown than I imagined.

  Henry Brown : It is Mr. Brown!

  Paddington : [seeing him outside the window]  Mr. Brown! What are you doing out there?

  Henry Brown : We've come to rescue you!

  Paddington : You have?

  Henry Brown : Mr. Curry explained everything. I'm so sorry I didn't believe you.

• Paddington : [after accidentally causing a fire]  But it wasn't my fault.

  Henry Brown : Who else was in the house? The front door was still locked.

  Paddington : There was an elephant.

  Judy Brown : An elephant?

  Jonathan Brown : What?

  Paddington : Well, it had the head of an elephant and the body of a snake, but it tried to shoot me!

  Mrs. Bird : Have you been drinking salt water?

  Paddington : No.

  Mary Brown : Paddington, why don't you tell us what really happened?

  Paddington : What?

  Mary Brown : We won't be cross.

  Henry Brown : Speak for yourself.

  Paddington : Mrs. Brown, you must believe me. I would never lie to you.

• Millicent : Welcome to your new home, bear. This is a cathedral of knowledge. Every major explorer has added to its glory. Charles Darwin brought the giant tortoise from the Galapagos.

  Paddington : [passing by animal exhibits]  Good evening.

  Millicent : Captain Scott, the emperor penguin from Antarctica.

  Paddington : Gentlemen.

  Millicent : Captain Cook, the kangaroo from Australia.

  Paddington : G'day.

  Millicent : Each of these men has been immortalized through his finds. But do you see anything from my father? No. Because when he met your oh, so precious species, he refused to collect a specimen. We could have been rich and famous. But instead, he threw it all away and he opened a petting zoo. He put the happiness of a few furry creatures above his own flesh and blood. I vowed that one day I would finish the job my father never could. And now, at last, that day has come.

  [unveiling a glass case] 

  Millicent : That's right! I'm going to stuff you, bear.

  [gasping he fear, he tries to run away, but she shoots him with a tranquilizer dart] 

  Paddington : [falling unconscious]  Ow!

• Henry Brown : Hi, big fella. What's cooking?

  Paddington : Marmalade, Mr. Brown. Go on, have a taste.

  Henry Brown : [tasting a bit]  Mm, delicious.

  Paddington : And just one sandwich contains all the vitamins and minerals a bear needs for the whole day.

  Jonathan Brown : So does that mean I don't have to eat vegetables?

  Mrs. Bird : He said "bear," not "boy."

  Paddington : Sorry, Jonathan.

• Jonathan Brown : [Henry and Paddington retrieve an 8mm film from the Geographer's Guild]  So you actually broke in, Dad?

  Henry Brown : That's right.

  Mary Brown : Well, it sounds incredibly brave, Henry.

  Henry Brown : Well, you know, there's a time for being boring and annoying and there's a time for being a man.

  Paddington : Mr. Brown dressed up as a lady and someone stuck pins in him.

  Judy Brown : What?

  Henry Brown : Oh, look, it's starting.

  Mary Brown : Sorry. What was that?

  Henry Brown : Doesn't matter.

  Jonathan Brown : In a dress?

  Henry Brown : No! Did look like a dress. It was more of a housecoat. It was quite liberating, actually.

• Paddington : I'm looking for Montgomery Clyde.

  Millicent : Well, that's my father.

  Paddington : The... the explorer Montgomery Clyde?

  Millicent : That's right. Come on in out of the cold. I'll be right down.

  Paddington : Oh. Oh, thank you. Thank you!

  [entering the house] 

  Paddington : Is Captain Clyde at home?

  Millicent : I'm afraid not. You see, my father is dead.

  Paddington : Oh. Oh, dear.

  Millicent : What did you want from him?

  Paddington : He once told my aunt that if ever we came to London, we'd be welcome. And I suppose I hoped he might give me a home.

  Millicent : Oh, but I can do that.

  Paddington : You can?

  Millicent : Of course. A lovely specimen like you shouldn't be out on the streets. You belong somewhere very special. And I know just the place.
