[repeated lines] Fate be changed, look inside. Mend the bond torn by pride.

[Merida and Bear Elinor reach the witch's cottage]
Merida: I can't believe it. I found it. [excitedly opens the door, only to find the cottage completely empty with only the cauldron still in the middle; confused] No. She was here. [closes the door; to Bear Elinor] No, really, she was just here. [Bear Elinor whines] Oh, wait. [snaps her fingers then opens the door again, but finds it the same as before] No. [bangs the door shut. Tries again several times, but to no avail] No, no. No! No! [steps in the door and accidentally trips a wire, starting a Rube Goldberg machine that eventually shoots a knife, nearly killing Merida. The cauldron begins to bubble and glow green. Merida and Bear Elinor walk over. A ghostly image of the witch appears above the cauldron]
Witch: Welcome to the Crafty Carver, home of bear-themed carvings and novelties. I am completely out of stock at this time. But, if you'd like to inquire about portraits or wedding cake toppers, pour vial one into the cauldron. If you'd like the menu in Gaelic, vial two. If you're that red-haired lass, vial three. To speak with a live homunculus-- [Merida quickly grabs the third vial, pops it open and pours its contents into the cauldron] Princess! I'm off to the Wickerman Festival in Stornoway and won't be back till spring. There's one bit I forgot to tell you about the spell. By the second sunrise, your spell will become permanent, [Merida gasps] unless you remember these words: [turns red] "Fate be changed, look inside, mend the bond torn by pride." [turns back to green]
Merida: [confused] "Fate be changed?" "Mend the bond?" What does that mean?
Witch: One more time. [turns red again] "Fate be changed, look inside, mend the bond torn by pride." [turns back to green again; cheerfully] That's it! Tah-tah! Oh, and thank you for shopping at the Crafty Carver! [disappears]
Merida: [panicking] No. No! Where'd you go? [pours another vial into the cauldron]
Witch: [suddenly reappears] Welcome to the Crafty Carver...
Merida: [horrified] What?
Witch: ...for all your-- [Merida pours in another vial, causing the speech to overlap]
Merida: Maybe there's a book of spells. [to Bear Elinor] Look around. We'll need more vials. [proceeds to frantically dump in the last two vials]
Witch: I'm off to the Wickerman Festival in Stornoway, and-- [all of the messages begin talking over one another. Merida and Bear Elinor brace for impact] Thank you for visiting. Have a lovely day! [the cauldron explodes, tearing apart the cottage]
Merida: I can't believe it. I found it. [excitedly opens the door, only to find the cottage completely empty with only the cauldron still in the middle; confused] No. She was here.

Paddington (2014) as Mrs. Bird
View Quote
Paddington: [as he's being blown by blow dryers] Wind! Hot wind! 2 hot winds! I don't like it! [the blowing stops, offscreen] Well, I hope I don't look weird after all that. [onscreen, his fur stands up]
Judy: Too much?
Jonathan: Too much. [laughs]
Paddington: "Too much"? Then get me a brush, will you.
Mrs. Bird: Ah, there it is. [pulls out a duffle coat]
Jonathan: It's my old duffle coat.
Judy: Actually, it was mine first.
Henry: Well, long before that, it was mine.
Paddington: Oh, was it, Mr. Brown?
Judy: [faintly] Really?
Mary: He wore it on his first day of school.
Paddington: [admiring the coat he's wearing] It's lovely. Wooden buttons for ease of paw. And these 2 sandwich compartments are an excellent idea.
Henry: I must say it suits you very well.
Paddington: I never thought I'd like a human coat, but...
Mary: [offscreen] You look like one of the family.
Jonathan: You're not going to send Paddington to the authorities, are you?
Judy: You will try the Geographer's Guild?
Henry: [pause] Yes, alright. We'll see if they know anything. [Jonathan hugs him] But if it's a dead end...
Mary: I'm sure it won't be.
Paddington: Thank you very much, Mr. Brown. [he smiles, Henry smiles back]
Judy: Too much?
Jonathan: Too much. [laughs]

Paddington: But it wasn't my fault!
Henry: Who else was in the house? The front door was still locked.
Paddington: There was an elephant.
Jonathan: An elephant?
Judy: [confused] What?
Paddington: Well, it had a head of an elephant and a body of a snake. But it tried to shoot me!
Mrs. Bird: Have you been drinking saltwater?
Paddington: No.
Mary: [crouches down] Paddington, why don't you tell us what really happened?
Paddington: [confused] What?
Mary: We won't be cross.
Henry: Speak for yourself.
Paddington: Mrs. Brown, you must believe me. I would never lie to you.

Mary: "Dear, Browns. Thank you very much for having me stay. You're a very lovely family. I'm very sorry about the flood, and the fire, and the incident at the Geographer's Guild. [Henry looks away in guilt] I hope that... now I have gone, things will calm down a bit. Yours, Paddington." [puts down the note]
Judy: Well, shall we go after him?
Henry: It's...better this way. He didn't really belong here.
Jonathan: How can you say that? [runs out of the room]
Henry: [as Judy is about to leave] Judy...?
Judy: I'm going to my room. [puts on her headphones and leaves, Mary follows]
Henry: Where are you going?
Mary: I'm just, um... I need to know he's okay. [leaves, Henry sits on the table and sulks in regret]
Mrs. Bird: [sighs heavily] You just don't get it, do you?
Henry: [turns to look at Mrs. Bird] What?
Mrs. Bird: This family needed that wee bear every bit as much as he needed you. There, said my piece. [leaves the room]
