-I'M PADDINGTON BEAR!
-HALF A STEP TO THE RIGHT.
A TOUCH FORWARD.
QUARTER STEP TO THE LEFT. HMM...
PHEW! THIS IS HARD WORK.
- MAY I PUT IT DOWN NOW,
Mr. CURRY?
IT'S... VERY HEAVY.
-HEAVY?! THAT ROCK'S NOT HEAVY.
WHY, IF IT WASN'T FOR...
FOR THIS SPLINTER IN MY THUMB,
I COULD CARRY THREE
OF THOSE AT A TIME!
- PADDINGTON? YOUR
COCOA IS READY!
-I'LL BE BACK AFTER MY COCOA
AND MARMALADE SANDWICH.
I NEED TO BUILD UP MY STRENGTH,
Mr. CURRY.
-STRENGTH? HA! IT'S ALL THAT
COCOA AND MARMALADE THAT'S
GOT YOU OUT OF SHAPE.
- IF SOMEONE LIKE Mr. CURRY
COULD LIFT THREE ROCKS,
MAYBE I WAS OUT OF SHAPE.
-PADDINGTON!
YOU'RE GOING TO SPILL THE COCOA.
- IT'S ALL RIGHT, Mrs. BIRD.
I COULD LIFT THREE COCOA TRAYS.
-HEE! HEE! HEE!
MY ARMS WERE A BIT STIFF
FROM MOVING ALL THOSE ROCKS.
[TV]: HE'S AS QUICK AS AN EEL,
HEALTHY AS A HORSE,
AND STRONG AS A BEAR!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WELCOME GRANT STALWART!
HE CAN LIFT BAGS OF CEMENT!
BEND IRON BARS!
CRUSH WALNUTS WITH HIS BICEPS!
- THE BROWNS DIDN'T HAVE
CEMENT BAGS OR IRON BARS,
BUT THEY DID HAVE WALNUTS...
OOPS! - OH!
PADDINGTON!
WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING?
- IS IT CRACKED, Mrs. BIRD?
- NO.
BUT I'M BEGINNING TO
THINK YOU MAY WELL BE.
-YOU CAN DO ALL THIS
AND MORE...
WITH MY WORLD FAMOUS
GRANT STALWART BODY
BUILDING SYSTEM!
- 50 POUNDS' WORTH OF
GRAMT STALWART EQUIPMENT,
YOURS FOR ONLY 5 POUNDS!
PLUS A MONEY BACK
GUARANTEE IF YOU ARE
NOT COMPLETELY SATISFIED!
- I COULD BE AS STRONG
AS GRANT STALWART
AND GET A GREAT BARGAIN!
IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
- DON'T FORGET THE
5-POUND DOWN PAYMENT.
THE BALANCE IS DUE TWO
WEEKS AFTER DELIVERY.
- I HAD 5 POUNDS SAVED
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.
BUT GETTING IN SHAPE
WAS MORE IMPORTANT.
AND SURE ENOUGH, THE GRANT
STALWART BODY BUILDING SYSTEM
ARRIVED A WEEK LATER.
THE ONLY TROUBLE WAS, YOU WERE
SUPPOSED TO FIX THE SPRINGS
TO A CONVENIENT WALL,
BUT NONE OF THE BROWNS' WALLS
SEEMED VERY CONVENIENT.
- IT SOUNDS LIKE PADDINGTON IS
REARRANGING HIS FURNITURE.
- HE'S BEEN BEHAVING
RATHER ODDLY LATELY.
JUST LAST WEEK, HE SENT
A WALNUT ZOOMING
ALL OVER THE KITCHEN. [CRASH]
THAT BEAR JUST DOESN'T
KNOW HIS OWN STRENGTH.
- I DECIDED THERE HAD
TO BE A BETTER WAY.
THIS WAS MUCH BETTER.
-BEAR!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
TO MY FE... YEE-OUCH!
-OH. I'M SORRY, Mr. CURRY.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE POKING
YOUR NOSE IN MY BUSINESS.
THESE ARE MY GRANT STALWART
EXERCISE SPRINGS.
THEY'RE MEANT FOR
7-STONE WEAKLINGS.
I EXPECT IF YOU HAD A GO, YOU
COULD BECOME AN 8-STONE WEAKLING
IN NO TIME AT ALL.
IT... IT'S WORTH 50 POUNDS.
AND THERE'S A MONEY
BACK GUARANTEE.
-MONEY BACK GUARANTEE, HEY?
IN THAT CASE, IT NEEDS
A PROPER TEST.
I SUGGEST YOU USE MY ATTIC.
AND DON'T YOU WORRY.
WE'LL GET OUR MONEY BACK
FOR THIS SHODDY MERCHANDISE.
- OUR MONEY?
- OF COURSE, I'LL HAVE TO DEDUCT
THE COSTS OF OINTMENT
FOR MY NOSE,
DAMAGE TO MY FENCE, USE OF
MY ATTIC AS A TESTING SITE...
-Mr. CURRY HAS A WAY
OF TWISTING WORDS AROUND TO
MAKE THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS THINGS
SOUND PERFECTLY REASONABLE.
I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW EASILY
THE SCREWS WENT INTO THE WALL.
BUT... EASY COME, EASY GO.
AND NO MATTER WHERE I TRIED,
THEY JUST WOULDN'T HOLD.
I NEEDED TO SHED MORE
LIGHT ON THE PROBLEM.
AH, AH! THERE. THAT OUGHT TO...
AH!! [FOOTSTEPS]
-BEAR!
HAVE YOU FINISHED
INSTALLING THAT...? BEAR!!!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY WALL?
- I... I THOUGHT
IT MIGHT BE HANDY
HAVING THE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR EASY REFERENCE.
-AH! WHO NEEDS INSTRUCTIONS?
I'LL JUST WARM UP WITH SOME
OF MY OLD ARMY EXERCISES...
THEN EXPOSE THIS
GRANT STALWART SYSTEM
FOR THE JUNK IT IS.
AAAH!!!
SIGNATURE.
PAW PRINT.
THIS DOCUMENT HEREBY
TRANSFERS OWNERSHIP
OF THE GRANT STALWART
EXERCISE SYSTEM TO ME,
AND I'M HENCEFORTH
ENTITLED TO ALL MONEYS
OWING ON THE GUARANTEE.
[DOORBELL]
- GRANT STALWART!
- NONE OTHER THAN!
- HERE NOW. IS THAT
GRANT STALWART?
THAT BEAR DOESN'T OWN
THE EXERCISE SPRINGS.
I DO! IT'S ALL THERE
IN BLACK AND WHITE.
I, Mr. CURRY, AM DUE
THE 50 POUND REFUND.
-YOU ARE INDEED THE LUCKY OWNER.
AND WHILE I AM VERY GENEROUS
IN MY REFUND POLICY,
THE EQUIPMENT MUST BE RETURNED
IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION,
NOT COVERED IN PAINT AND GLUE.
AND THERE SEEMS TO
BE SOME KIND OF FUR
STUCK IN THE COILS.
PLUS, THE 5 POUNDS IS
JUST A DOWN PAYMENT.
YOU, Mr. CURRY,
OWE ME 45 POUNDS.
-45 POUNDS? OH!
-HELP!
GET HIM OFF OF ME!
PERHAPS YOU WOULDN'T MIND GIVING
MY BILL TO YOUR FRIEND
ONCE HE COMES TO AND...
HERE'S SOMETHING TO KEEP THIS
LITTLE... INCIDENT QUIET.
-10 POUNDS?
-YES.
- Mr. STALWART GAVE ME
10 POUNDS,
WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO DONATE
TO THE HOME FOR RETIRED BEARS.
BUT BEST OF ALL,
THE BROWNS ALL SAY
I'M STRONGER BOTH INSIDE AND OUT
THAN ALL THE WORLD'S CURRYS
AND STALWARTS COMBINED.
- OH, OH, PADDINGTON!
MY DEAR STRONG BEAR!
MI OURSO FUERTE!
- I WAS ABOUT TO GO TO AMERICA
TO HELP Mr. GRUBER
WITH HIS BOOK, THE WORLD
AND ITS WONDERS,
WHEN Mr. CURRY TRICKED ME
INTO FIXING THE FENCE
BETWEEN OUR TWO GARDENS. - BEAR!
I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO
FIX THIS LOOSE BOARD
BEFORE PAINTING IT?
AND YOU MISSED A SPOT.
- BUT Mr. CURRY,
THE LOOSE BOARD IS A HANDY WAY
TO GO BETWEEN OUR TWO GARDENS.
AND YOUR FENCE IS
A TOUCH TOO HIGH.
- THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A GOOD
HIGH FENCE TO KEEP THE PEACE.
WHOA!
- AND EXACTLY WHAT
IS GOING ON HERE?
-I HAD A FEELING Mrs. BIRD
DIDN'T THINK THE FENCE
WAS HIGH ENOUGH.
-WASHINGTON D.C.,
CAPITAL OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA!
COME ALONG, Mr. BROWN.
THERE'S A TOUR OF THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES AT 2 O'CLOCK.
-435 MEMBERS ARE ELECTED
TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
-435 IN ONE HOUSE!
DO THEY EACH HAVE A BEDROOM,
OR DO SOME HAVE TO SHARE?
- UH... IT'S NOT THAT KIND
OF HOUSE, ACTUALLY.
AND WE'RE IN FOR A
SPECIAL TREAT TODAY.
PROFESSOR PATRICK BERRINGTON,
THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
EXPERT, WILL BE ADDRESSING
THE HOUSE.
- THIS HOUSE DOESN'T
HAVE AN ADDRESS?
- AFRAID IT'S A NO-SHOW
ON PROFESSOR P.B.
HIS FLIGHT HAS BEEN DELAYED
FROM PERU VIA LONDON.
-WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD...
BUT WE CAN STILL WATCH
CONGRESS IN ACTION.
- EXCUSE ME...
- WHO ARE YOU? IDENTIFY!
- PA... BE...
- YOU'RE P.B.?
-UH... WELL YES, I AM P.B.
- P.B. HAS LANDED. REPEAT:
P.B. HAS LANDED.
- FROM LONDON. BUT I STARTED
OFF IN DARKEST PERU.
- YEP. POSITIVE I.D.
LONDON VIA PERU...
JUST LIKE YOU SAID.
SHORT. ECCENTRIC.
WEARS HAT INDOORS.
AND YOU WEREN'T KIDDING
ABOUT THAT BEARD.
HURRY! IT'S TIME TO GIVE
YOUR SPEECH TO CONGRESS.
- A SPEECH? WHAT WOULD YOU
LIKE ME TO TALK ABOUT?
-P.B. REQUESTS SPEECH TOPIC...
RIGHT. "A THEMATIC APPROACH
TO INTERNATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY
WITH RESPECT TO
BOUNDARIES, BORDERS,
AND DISPUTED LAND CLAIMS."
OR, "WHAT MAKES A
GOOD NEIGHBOUR."
- NOW NEIGHBOURS WAS SOMETHING
I KNEW A BIT ABOUT.
- SO PLEASE WELCOME PROFESSOR
PATRICK BERRINGTON.
[APPLAUSE]
HERE, P.B. SOME CONGRESSIONAL
RECORDS TO STAND ON.
- THIS IS CERTAINLY A MUCH BIGGER
HOUSE THAN THE ONE I'M USED TO.
AND YOU'RE ALL ONE FAMILY?
[LAUGHTER]
-WHY, IT'S Mr. BROWN!
-WHAT MAKES A GOOD NEIGHBOUR?
WELL, Mr. CURRY AND Mrs. BIRD
WOULD BOTH SAY
YOU NEED A GOOD FENCE. AND
IT ISN'T OFTEN THEY AGREE.
Mrs. BIRD WOULD LIKE THEM A MILE
HIGH, BUT I'D PREFER THEM LOWER
SO YOU CAN TOUCH THE
TOP WHEN ON TIPTOES.
AND THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE
AT LEAST ONE LOOSE BOARD...
[WHISPERING]
UH, SO THAT YOU CAN
GET BACK THINGS
THAT YOUR NEIGHBOUR TOOK WITHOUT
ASKING YOUR PERMISSION.
[CHEERS]
- THAT IS NOT PROFESSOR
PATRICK BERRINGTON.
I WANT THAT IMPOSTOR IN
MY OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.
-YES SIR, Mr. PRESIDENT.
-PROFESSOR!
-OVER HERE, PROFESSOR.
-PROFESSOR!
PROFESSOR!
EXCUSE ME, PROFESSOR.
-CAN WE PRINT THAT?
- WHEN YOU SAY TIPTOE,
WOULD THAT BE
YOUR TOES OR THE AVERAGE
AMERICAN'S?
-PLEASE COME WITH ME.
THE PRESIDENT WISHES TO SEE
YOU IN THE OVAL OFFICE.
-Mr. BROWN! Mr. BROWN!
- YOUR SPEECH ON
INTERNATIONAL BORDERS
WAS A BIG HIT
WITH CONGRESS, UH...
PADDINGTON, IS IT?
- YES, SIR... UH, Mr. PRESIDENT.
- ONE THING: WOULDN'T
THAT LOOSE BOARD
LEAD TO A FLOOD OF IMMIGRATION?
-OH NO! YOU WON'T FLOOD THE
GARDEN IF YOU REMEMBER
TO TURN OFF THE HOSE.
- HA! HA! HA! YOUR METAPHORS
CERTAINLY ARE BRILLIANT,
BUT PERHAPS YOU COULD EXPLAIN...
-WHAT'S A METAPHOR?
-HA! HA! HA!
YOU'RE BOTH BRILLIANT
AND CRAFTY.
- I ONCE FORGOT TO TURN OFF
Mr. CURRY'S GARDEN HOSE.
I WASN'T VERY POPULAR.
- I ADMIRE SOMEONE WHO
ADMITS TO HIS MISTAKES.
- OH. I'VE HAD PLENTY
OF PRACTICE.
BEARS ARE GOOD AT
MAKING MISTAKES.
[KNOCKING] - Mr. BROWN!
Mr. BROWN... OH!
-Mr. GRUBER!
-PLEASE, Mr. PRESIDENT.
Mr. BROWN DIDN'T MEAN TO GIVE
THE PROFESSOR'S SPEECH.
IT WAS JUST A MISTAKE.
- YOU... YOU MEAN I WASN'T
SUPPOSED TO GIVE A SPEECH?
-THAT'S ME AND THE PROFESSOR
LAST YEAR IN HELSINKI. IT WOULD
TAKE THE PROFESSOR AN HOUR
TO TELL ME THAT
THIS APPLE IS RED.
THEN ANOTHER HOUR TO REMIND ME
THAT THERE ARE ALSO GREEN
ONES AND YELLOW ONES.
THE PROFESSOR, GENTLEMEN,
IS A WINDBAG.
- OH.
- BUT YOU, PADDINGTON,
GET RIGHT TO THE POINT.
GOOD FENCES MAKE FOR
GOOD NEIGHBOURS.
NOT TOO HIGH, NOT TOO LOW.
A LOOSE BOARD IS ALWAYS HANDY.
LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES.
GREAT STUFF. @
WHY, YOU CUT THROUGH
ALL THE NONSENSE
LIKE A HOT KNIFE THROUGH...
-MARMALADE?
-I WAS ABOUT TO SAY BUTTER.
BUT YES. MARMALADE'S
BETTER THAN BUTTER.
DO YOU MIND IF I USE THAT
IN A SPEECH, PADDINGTON?
XPxPxxhhMO6ws ç ç999yyyyyyyÑued
-IT'S Mrs. BIRD'S BEST.w, Uo
!!
THERE ARE LOTS OF CHUNKS.
- THAT'S IT!
INSTEAD OF THE "MELTING POT",
WHERE EVERYTHING IS
THE SAME CONSISTENCY,
WE HAVE THE "MARMALADE POT".
SMOOTH BUT WITH A LOT
OF CHUNKS MIXED IN.
I OWE YOU ONE, PADDINGTON.
IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO FOR YOU?
ANY PROBLEM YOU NEED HELP WITH?
- HMM... WELL, THERE
IS ONE THING.
WHEN THE PRESIDENT OFFERED HIS
HELP, I THOUGHT OF Mrs. BIRD,
Mr. CURRY AND THE FENCE.
-I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT
BEAR IS BACK TO FINISH
THE WORK ON MY FENCE.
-HALT!
WHO GOES THERE? - WHA...?
IT'S... ME... Mr. CURRY.
- CURRY ACTIVITY REPORTED
IN FENCE QUADRANT THREE.
DO YOU READ ME? - AHEM!
PLEASE BE SO KIND
AS TO RETURN THE INTRUDER
TO HIS SIDE OF THE FENCE.
-BUT... BUT...
BEAR!!!
-AT... CHOO!
AT... CHOO!
OH. GOOD BORDING, BADDIGTON.
- BADDIGTON? MY NAME'S
PADDINGTON, Mr. BROWN.
-I DOW IT IS, BADDIGTON.
BUT I HAVE A TERRIBLE COLD,
AND SO DOES Mrs. BROWN.
- IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO TO HELP?
- WELL, AS A MATTER
OF FACT THERE IS.
SINCE Mrs. BIRD IS AWAY AND
OUR WASHING MACHINE IS BROKEN,
A LAUNDRY MAN IS
COMING THIS MORNING.
CAN YOU TAKE CARE OF IT?
IT'S REALLY VERY SIMPLE.
THE CLOTHES ARE IN THE KITCHEN.
AND YOU'LL FIND THE
MONEY ON THE TABLE.
- WHAT I NEED IS SOMETHING
WITH WHEELS.
[DOORBELL]
[DOORBELL]
-I THOUGHT YOU SAID BADDIGTON
WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE
OF THE LAUNDRY?
[DOORBELL] - HE WAS!
-THE LAUNDRY MAN...
I'M COMING!
-NOBODY HOME.
-HURRY, BADDIGTON!
THE LAUNDRY MAN IS LEAVING!
- DON'T WORRY, Mr. BROWN.
I'LL CATCH HIM.
-OH...
-WAIT!
- AH, Mr. BROWN. WHAT
HAVE YOU GOT THERE?
-IT'S THE BROWNS' LAUNDRY.
I WAS TRYING TO CATCH
THE LAUNDRY VAN, BUT I'M
AFRAID I'VE MISSED IT.
- WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THE CLOTHES
TO THE LAUNDERETTE?
- THE LAUNDERETTE!
OF COURSE. UH...
WHAT EXACTLY IS A LAUNDERETTE,
Mr. GRUBER?
- IT'S REALLY QUITE SIMPLE,
Mr. BROWN.
THE LAUNDERETTE IS A PLACE
WHERE YOU WASH YOUR OWN CLOTHES
IN COIN-OPERATED MACHINES.
- IT DOESN'T SOUND VERY SIMPLE,
Mr. GRUBER.
- NOW FIRST, YOU HAVE TO SORT
YOUR CLOTHES INTO PILES
ACCORDING TO THE COLOR.
THEN YOU PUT THEM INTO
A SEPARATE MACHINE
FOR EACH PILE. MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT COINS.
AND WHEN THE MACHINE
STOPS SPINNING...
-OOH!
-YOU SIMPLY TAKE OUT THE CLOTHES
AND PUT THEM IN THE DRYER.
- NOW ARE YOU QUITE SURE YOU
KNOW HOW TO DO THE LAUNDRY?
- OH YES. Mr. GRUBER EXPLAINED
HOW TO DO EVERYTHING.
HE SAID IT'S ALL
VERY SIMPLE REALLY.
- HMM... AND WHAT DO YOU
THINK YOU SHOULD DO FIRST?
- I HAVE TO SORT THE
CLOTHES INTO PILES.
- I GUESS YOU DO KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOIN'.
-NOW LET'S SEE... 1,
2, 3...
I'M GOING TO NEED 19 MACHINES.
-OH!
YOU ONLY NEED 3.
ONE FOR THE WHITES,
ONE FOR THE DARKS
AND ONE FOR THE COLOURS.
-OH. THAT IS SIMPLE!
-NO, NO, NO!
THOSE MACHINES ARE
FOR WET CLOTHES.
STOP! I MEANT THOSE
ARE THE DRYERS!
YOU HAVE TO WASH
YOUR CLOTHES FIRST.
- MAYBE DOING THE LAUNDRY
WASN'T SO SIMPLE AFTER ALL.
-I SAY, BEAR...
WHAT A STROKE OF LUCK!
-LUCK?
-YES. RUNNING INTO YOU, I MEAN.
I SEE YOU'RE DOING THE LAUNDRY.
- YES?
- WELL, YOU CAN DO MY SWEATERS
AT THE SAME TIME.
NO POINT US BOTH THROWING MONEY
DOWN THE DRAIN, IS THERE?
-WELL...
- WONDERFUL! JUST DROP THEM
OFF WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED,
AND MAKE SURE
THEY'RE PERFECTLY CLEAN.
- Mr. CURRY IS ALWAYS TRYING
TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
I BOUGHT A WHOLE BOX OF
DETERGENT. Mr. CURRY DID SAY
HE WANTED HIS SWEATERS
"PERFECTLY CLEAN".
OH NO!
-OH DEAR!
SO Mr. GRUBER SAID DOING
THE LAUNDRY WAS SIMPLE?
- OH DEAR... I THINK
I'M IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
-I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
SEEING AS HOW
WE'RE NOT VERY BUSY,
AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY
YOUR 1st TIME HERE,
WHY DON'T I GET YOU
STARTED AGAIN?
IT'S NOT EVERY DAY WE HAVE
A BEAR'S WASHING TO DO.
- THANK YOU. AND I HOPE
IT'LL BE A LONG WHILE
BEFORE YOU HAVE TO AGAIN.
FINALLY, EVERYTHING
WAS WORKING PERFECTLY...
THEN THE WASHING DISAPPEARED.
HELP! THE CLOTHES...
THEY'RE GONE!
-NO, THEY HAVEN'T.
IT ONLY LOOKS AS IF
THEY'VE DISAPPEARED
BECAUSE THEY'RE SPINNIN'
AROUND SO FAST.
IT'S A SORT OF PHENOMENON.
- I THINK I SHALL HAVE TO REMIND
Mr. GRUBER ABOUT THE PHENOMENON.
-CAREFUL THERE.
THESE SWEATERS ARE WOOL,
AREN'T THEY?
-OH NO. THEY'RE Mr. CURRY'S.
- WELL, I HOPE THIS
Mr. CURRY'S TALL AND THIN,
AND HE KNOWS MORE ABOUT DOING
LAUNDRY THAN YOU DO.
-SOMEHOW, I DOUBTED IT.
- I KNEW COMING HOME EARLY
WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING'S
BEEN GOING ON HERE.
- BADDIGTON'S BEEN
DOING THE LAUNDRY.
- AND I SAW THE LAUNDERETTE
FULL OF SOAP BUBBLES.
- BUT BADDIGTON WAS SUPPOSED TO
CATCH UP WITH THE LAUNDRY MAN.
- I HAVE A NASTY
FEELING HE DIDN'T.
-HELLO!
-I NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE THIS.
I COULDN'T HAVE DONE
IT BETTER MYSELF.
- I DO HOPE IT'S ALL RIGHT,
Mrs. BIRD.
I HAD A BIT OF A PHENOMENON
IN THE LAUNDERETTE.
- A PHENOMENON? I THINK YOU
MUST BE MISTAKEN, DEAR.
A PHENOMENON MEANS
SOMETHING STRANGE.
-THAT'S EXACTLY IT, Mrs. BROWN.
-AH, BEAR!
I WANTED TO THANK YOU
FOR WASHING MY SWEATERS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DID.
THEY WERE ALWAYS RATHER BIG,
BUT THEY FIT PERFECTLY NOW.
- I'M SURE IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE
LONG AND THIN, Mr. CURRY.
- PERHAPS THERE WAS A PHENOMENON
AT THE LAUNDERETTE AFTER ALL.
-UH... YES.
WELL, THANKS JUST THE SAME.
AND HERE. A TOFFEE
FOR YOUR TROUBLES.
-SPEAKING OF PHENOMENONS...
IT'S NOT EVERY DAY Mr. CURRY
REPAYS PEOPLE FOR THEIR HELP.
-YOU'RE RIGHT, Mrs. BIRD.
SO I THINK I SHALL
MAKE THIS ONE LAST.

OF HOUSE, ACTUALLY.
AND WE'RE IN FOR A
SPECIAL TREAT TODAY.
PROFESSOR PATRICK BERRINGTON,
THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
EXPERT, WILL BE ADDRESSING
THE HOUSE.
- THIS HOUSE DOESN'T
HAVE AN ADDRESS?
- AFRAID IT'S A NO-SHOW
ON PROFESSOR P.B.
HIS FLIGHT HAS BEEN DELAYED
FROM PERU VIA LONDON.
-WELL, THAT'S TOO BAD...
BUT WE CAN STILL WATCH
CONGRESS IN ACTION.
- EXCUSE ME...
- WHO ARE YOU? IDENTIFY!
- PA... BE...
- YOU'RE P.B.?
-UH... WELL YES, I AM P.B.
- P.B. HAS LANDED. REPEAT:
P.B. HAS LANDED.
- FROM LONDON. BUT I STARTED
OFF IN DARKEST PERU.
- YEP. POSITIVE I.D.
LONDON VIA PERU...
JUST LIKE YOU SAID.
SHORT. ECCENTRIC.
WEARS HAT INDOORS.
AND YOU WEREN'T KIDDING
ABOUT THAT BEARD.
HURRY! IT'S TIME TO GIVE
YOUR SPEECH TO CONGRESS.
- A SPEECH? WHAT WOULD YOU
LIKE ME TO TALK ABOUT?
-P.B. REQUESTS SPEECH TOPIC...
RIGHT. "A THEMATIC APPROACH
TO INTERNATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY
WITH RESPECT TO
BOUNDARIES, BORDERS,
AND DISPUTED LAND CLAIMS."
OR, "WHAT MAKES A
GOOD NEIGHBOUR."
- NOW NEIGHBOURS WAS SOMETHING
I KNEW A BIT ABOUT.
- SO PLEASE WELCOME PROFESSOR
PATRICK BERRINGTON.
[APPLAUSE]
HERE, P.B. SOME CONGRESSIONAL
RECORDS TO STAND ON.
- THIS IS CERTAINLY A MUCH BIGGER
HOUSE THAN THE ONE I'M USED TO.
AND YOU'RE ALL ONE FAMILY?
[LAUGHTER]
-WHY, IT'S Mr. BROWN!
-WHAT MAKES A GOOD NEIGHBOUR?
WELL, Mr. CURRY AND Mrs. BIRD
WOULD BOTH SAY
YOU NEED A GOOD FENCE. AND
IT ISN'T OFTEN THEY AGREE.
Mrs. BIRD WOULD LIKE THEM A MILE
HIGH, BUT I'D PREFER THEM LOWER
SO YOU CAN TOUCH THE
TOP WHEN ON TIPTOES.
AND THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE
AT LEAST ONE LOOSE BOARD...
[WHISPERING]
UH, SO THAT YOU CAN
GET BACK THINGS
THAT YOUR NEIGHBOUR TOOK WITHOUT
ASKING YOUR PERMISSION.
[CHEERS]
- THAT IS NOT PROFESSOR
PATRICK BERRINGTON.
I WANT THAT IMPOSTOR IN
MY OFFICE IMMEDIATELY.
-YES SIR, Mr. PRESIDENT.
-PROFESSOR!
-OVER HERE, PROFESSOR.
-PROFESSOR!
PROFESSOR!
EXCUSE ME, PROFESSOR.
-CAN WE PRINT THAT?
- WHEN YOU SAY TIPTOE,
WOULD THAT BE
YOUR TOES OR THE AVERAGE
AMERICAN'S?
-PLEASE COME WITH ME.
THE PRESIDENT WISHES TO SEE
YOU IN THE OVAL OFFICE.
-Mr. BROWN! Mr. BROWN!
- YOUR SPEECH ON
INTERNATIONAL BORDERS
WAS A BIG HIT
WITH CONGRESS, UH...
PADDINGTON, IS IT?
- YES, SIR... UH, Mr. PRESIDENT.
- ONE THING: WOULDN'T
THAT LOOSE BOARD
LEAD TO A FLOOD OF IMMIGRATION?
-OH NO! YOU WON'T FLOOD THE
GARDEN IF YOU REMEMBER
TO TURN OFF THE HOSE.
- HA! HA! HA! YOUR METAPHORS
CERTAINLY ARE BRILLIANT,
BUT PERHAPS YOU COULD EXPLAIN...
-WHAT'S A METAPHOR?
-HA! HA! HA!
YOU'RE BOTH BRILLIANT
AND CRAFTY.
- I ONCE FORGOT TO TURN OFF
Mr. CURRY'S GARDEN HOSE.
I WASN'T VERY POPULAR.
- I ADMIRE SOMEONE WHO
ADMITS TO HIS MISTAKES.
- OH. I'VE HAD PLENTY
OF PRACTICE.
BEARS ARE GOOD AT
MAKING MISTAKES.
[KNOCKING] - Mr. BROWN!
Mr. BROWN... OH!
-Mr. GRUBER!
-PLEASE, Mr. PRESIDENT.
Mr. BROWN DIDN'T MEAN TO GIVE
THE PROFESSOR'S SPEECH.
IT WAS JUST A MISTAKE.
- YOU... YOU MEAN I WASN'T
SUPPOSED TO GIVE A SPEECH?
-THAT'S ME AND THE PROFESSOR
LAST YEAR IN HELSINKI. IT WOULD
TAKE THE PROFESSOR AN HOUR
TO TELL ME THAT
THIS APPLE IS RED.
THEN ANOTHER HOUR TO REMIND ME
THAT THERE ARE ALSO GREEN
ONES AND YELLOW ONES.
THE PROFESSOR, GENTLEMEN,
IS A WINDBAG.
- OH.
- BUT YOU, PADDINGTON,
GET RIGHT TO THE POINT.
GOOD FENCES MAKE FOR
GOOD NEIGHBOURS.
NOT TOO HIGH, NOT TOO LOW.
A LOOSE BOARD IS ALWAYS HANDY.
LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES.
GREAT STUFF. @
WHY, YOU CUT THROUGH
ALL THE NONSENSE
LIKE A HOT KNIFE THROUGH...
-MARMALADE?
-I WAS ABOUT TO SAY BUTTER.
BUT YES. MARMALADE'S
BETTER THAN BUTTER.
DO YOU MIND IF I USE THAT
IN A SPEECH, PADDINGTON?
XPxPxxhhMO6ws ç ç999yyyyyyyÑued
-IT'S Mrs. BIRD'S BEST.w, Uo
!!
THERE ARE LOTS OF CHUNKS.
- THAT'S IT!
INSTEAD OF THE "MELTING POT",
WHERE EVERYTHING IS
THE SAME CONSISTENCY,
WE HAVE THE "MARMALADE POT".
SMOOTH BUT WITH A LOT
OF CHUNKS MIXED IN.
I OWE YOU ONE, PADDINGTON.
IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO FOR YOU?
ANY PROBLEM YOU NEED HELP WITH?
- HMM... WELL, THERE
IS ONE THING.
WHEN THE PRESIDENT OFFERED HIS
HELP, I THOUGHT OF Mrs. BIRD,
Mr. CURRY AND THE FENCE.
-I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT
BEAR IS BACK TO FINISH
THE WORK ON MY FENCE.
-HALT!
WHO GOES THERE? - WHA...?
IT'S... ME... Mr. CURRY.
- CURRY ACTIVITY REPORTED
IN FENCE QUADRANT THREE.
DO YOU READ ME? - AHEM!
PLEASE BE SO KIND
AS TO RETURN THE INTRUDER
TO HIS SIDE OF THE FENCE.
-BUT... BUT...
BEAR!!!
-AT... CHOO!
AT... CHOO!
OH. GOOD BORDING, BADDIGTON.
- BADDIGTON? MY NAME'S
PADDINGTON, Mr. BROWN.
-I DOW IT IS, BADDIGTON.
BUT I HAVE A TERRIBLE COLD,
AND SO DOES Mrs. BROWN.
- IS THERE ANYTHING
I CAN DO TO HELP?
- WELL, AS A MATTER
OF FACT THERE IS.
SINCE Mrs. BIRD IS AWAY AND
OUR WASHING MACHINE IS BROKEN,
A LAUNDRY MAN IS
COMING THIS MORNING.
CAN YOU TAKE CARE OF IT?
IT'S REALLY VERY SIMPLE.
THE CLOTHES ARE IN THE KITCHEN.
AND YOU'LL FIND THE
MONEY ON THE TABLE.
- WHAT I NEED IS SOMETHING
WITH WHEELS.
[DOORBELL]
[DOORBELL]
-I THOUGHT YOU SAID BADDIGTON
WAS GOING TO TAKE CARE
OF THE LAUNDRY?
[DOORBELL] - HE WAS!
-THE LAUNDRY MAN...
I'M COMING!
-NOBODY HOME.
-HURRY, BADDIGTON!
THE LAUNDRY MAN IS LEAVING!
- DON'T WORRY, Mr. BROWN.
I'LL CATCH HIM.
-OH...
-WAIT!
- AH, Mr. BROWN. WHAT
HAVE YOU GOT THERE?
-IT'S THE BROWNS' LAUNDRY.
I WAS TRYING TO CATCH
THE LAUNDRY VAN, BUT I'M
AFRAID I'VE MISSED IT.
- WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THE CLOTHES
TO THE LAUNDERETTE?
- THE LAUNDERETTE!
OF COURSE. UH...
WHAT EXACTLY IS A LAUNDERETTE,
Mr. GRUBER?
- IT'S REALLY QUITE SIMPLE,
Mr. BROWN.
THE LAUNDERETTE IS A PLACE
WHERE YOU WASH YOUR OWN CLOTHES
IN COIN-OPERATED MACHINES.
- IT DOESN'T SOUND VERY SIMPLE,
Mr. GRUBER.
- NOW FIRST, YOU HAVE TO SORT
YOUR CLOTHES INTO PILES
ACCORDING TO THE COLOR.
THEN YOU PUT THEM INTO
A SEPARATE MACHINE
FOR EACH PILE. MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT COINS.
AND WHEN THE MACHINE
STOPS SPINNING...
-OOH!
-YOU SIMPLY TAKE OUT THE CLOTHES
AND PUT THEM IN THE DRYER.
- NOW ARE YOU QUITE SURE YOU
KNOW HOW TO DO THE LAUNDRY?
- OH YES. Mr. GRUBER EXPLAINED
HOW TO DO EVERYTHING.
HE SAID IT'S ALL
VERY SIMPLE REALLY.
- HMM... AND WHAT DO YOU
THINK YOU SHOULD DO FIRST?
- I HAVE TO SORT THE
CLOTHES INTO PILES.
- I GUESS YOU DO KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOIN'.
-NOW LET'S SEE... 1,
2, 3...
I'M GOING TO NEED 19 MACHINES.
-OH!
YOU ONLY NEED 3.
ONE FOR THE WHITES,
ONE FOR THE DARKS
AND ONE FOR THE COLOURS.
-OH. THAT IS SIMPLE!
-NO, NO, NO!
THOSE MACHINES ARE
FOR WET CLOTHES.
STOP! I MEANT THOSE
ARE THE DRYERS!
YOU HAVE TO WASH
YOUR CLOTHES FIRST.
- MAYBE DOING THE LAUNDRY
WASN'T SO SIMPLE AFTER ALL.
-I SAY, BEAR...
WHAT A STROKE OF LUCK!
-LUCK?
-YES. RUNNING INTO YOU, I MEAN.
I SEE YOU'RE DOING THE LAUNDRY.
- YES?
- WELL, YOU CAN DO MY SWEATERS
AT THE SAME TIME.
NO POINT US BOTH THROWING MONEY
DOWN THE DRAIN, IS THERE?
-WELL...
- WONDERFUL! JUST DROP THEM
OFF WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED,
AND MAKE SURE
THEY'RE PERFECTLY CLEAN.
- Mr. CURRY IS ALWAYS TRYING
TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
I BOUGHT A WHOLE BOX OF
DETERGENT. Mr. CURRY DID SAY
HE WANTED HIS SWEATERS
"PERFECTLY CLEAN".
OH NO!
-OH DEAR!
SO Mr. GRUBER SAID DOING
THE LAUNDRY WAS SIMPLE?
- OH DEAR... I THINK
I'M IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
-I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
SEEING AS HOW
WE'RE NOT VERY BUSY,
AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY
YOUR 1st TIME HERE,
WHY DON'T I GET YOU
STARTED AGAIN?
IT'S NOT EVERY DAY WE HAVE
A BEAR'S WASHING TO DO.
- THANK YOU. AND I HOPE
IT'LL BE A LONG WHILE
BEFORE YOU HAVE TO AGAIN.
FINALLY, EVERYTHING
WAS WORKING PERFECTLY...
THEN THE WASHING DISAPPEARED.
HELP! THE CLOTHES...
THEY'RE GONE!
-NO, THEY HAVEN'T.
IT ONLY LOOKS AS IF
THEY'VE DISAPPEARED
BECAUSE THEY'RE SPINNIN'
AROUND SO FAST.
IT'S A SORT OF PHENOMENON.
- I THINK I SHALL HAVE TO REMIND
Mr. GRUBER ABOUT THE PHENOMENON.
-CAREFUL THERE.
THESE SWEATERS ARE WOOL,
AREN'T THEY?
-OH NO. THEY'RE Mr. CURRY'S.
- WELL, I HOPE THIS
Mr. CURRY'S TALL AND THIN,
AND HE KNOWS MORE ABOUT DOING
LAUNDRY THAN YOU DO.
-SOMEHOW, I DOUBTED IT.
- I KNEW COMING HOME EARLY
WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING'S
BEEN GOING ON HERE.
- BADDIGTON'S BEEN
DOING THE LAUNDRY.
- AND I SAW THE LAUNDERETTE
FULL OF SOAP BUBBLES.
- BUT BADDIGTON WAS SUPPOSED TO
CATCH UP WITH THE LAUNDRY MAN.
- I HAVE A NASTY
FEELING HE DIDN'T.
-HELLO!
-I NEVER EXPECTED TO SEE THIS.
I COULDN'T HAVE DONE
IT BETTER MYSELF.
- I DO HOPE IT'S ALL RIGHT,
Mrs. BIRD.
I HAD A BIT OF A PHENOMENON
IN THE LAUNDERETTE.
- A PHENOMENON? I THINK YOU
MUST BE MISTAKEN, DEAR.
A PHENOMENON MEANS
SOMETHING STRANGE.
-THAT'S EXACTLY IT, Mrs. BROWN.
-AH, BEAR!
I WANTED TO THANK YOU
FOR WASHING MY SWEATERS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DID.
THEY WERE ALWAYS RATHER BIG,
BUT THEY FIT PERFECTLY NOW.
- I'M SURE IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE
LONG AND THIN, Mr. CURRY.
- PERHAPS THERE WAS A PHENOMENON
AT THE LAUNDERETTE AFTER ALL.
-UH... YES.
WELL, THANKS JUST THE SAME.
AND HERE. A TOFFEE
FOR YOUR TROUBLES.
-SPEAKING OF PHENOMENONS...
IT'S NOT EVERY DAY Mr. CURRY
REPAYS PEOPLE FOR THEIR HELP.
-YOU'RE RIGHT, Mrs. BIRD.
SO I THINK I SHALL
MAKE THIS ONE LAST.
