Henry quotes from Paddington (2014)

View Quote Henry: [referring to Paddington] That animal is going straight to the authorities!
Mary: But what about the explorer?
Henry: There is no explorer! I'm not putting this family in danger while you go on some wild goose chase. First thing tomorrow, that bear is out of here!

View Quote Mr. Curry: [from his window] Heck of a racket coming from your way last night, Brown.
Henry: [turns around] Oh, hello, Mr. Curry. I'm sorry if we disturbed you.
Paddington: Good morning.
Mr. Curry: [looks at Paddington] I don't believe I've had the pleasure.
Mary: Mr. Curry, this is Paddington.
Jonathan: He's a bear!
Mr. Curry: I can see that. You must be a long way from home.
Paddington: I'm from Darkest Peru.
Mr. Curry: Ah.
Henry: Don't worry, Mr. Curry, he's going. [the Browns walk away]
Mr. Curry: Just as well. Don't wanna be kept by any of your loud jungle music. [closes his window]

View Quote Judy: Hey, Paddington. Have you seen the paper? [gives Paddington the newspaper]
Paddington: Gosh.
Jonathan: You've already been in London a day, and you're already famous.
Paddington: Oh.
Judy: I'm sorry if I wasn't very nice before. It's just...it's a new school and I didn't want everyone to think I was weird.
Paddington: Oh, I understand, Judy. It's not easy being somewhere new.
Judy: No, it isn't.
Henry: [offscreen, faintly] He put earwax on my toothbrush! [Judy laughs]
Paddington: Things can be very different from how you imagined.
Jonathan: Oh, don't let him bother you. Dad's always been boring and annoying.
Mrs. Bird: Oh, don't know 'bout that. More to your father than meets the eye.
Jonathan: Like what?
Mrs. Bird: Well, when I first met him, he was a very different man.
[flashback, "Born to be Wild" plays in the background]
Mary: WHOOOOOO!!!!! Ya-aay!!! Woo-hoo!!!
Henry: That's my girl! [he and Mary stop at the hospital]
Mary: Not gonna let this change us, right?
Henry: No way, baby! [they high-5 each other]
Mary: We're having a baby! [they run in the hospital, then the flashback fast-forwards]
Mrs. Bird: [during the flashback] But becoming a father does strange things to a man.
Henry: [he and Mary leave the hospital] Could you be careful? There's a baby here. Hey, step back, there's a baby coming through. Could you keep those flowers away, please? She's too young for pollen.
Mary: [confused] Where's the bike, darling?
Henry: This is our new car.
Mary: What? It's very beige, isn't it?
Henry: It's a calm and neutral color. Could you get in?
Mrs. Bird: [the flashback ends] The point is, your father loves you very much. Give him a chance. [picks up a laundry basket] He might just surprise you. [walks away]
Judy: Maybe you and Dad just need a fresh start.
Paddington: Hmm. I suppose I didn't make the best first impression.
Judy: Don't take this the wrong way, but...why don't we try to make you to look a bit more presentable?
Paddington: Hang on a minute. You're not talking about...?

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]

View Quote Henry: Paddington? Paddington? [the elevator door opens]
Paddington: Psst! Mr. Brown. In here.
Henry: What are you doing?
Paddington: We need to get into that archive. [Henry sighs] Hmm...
Henry: [enters the elevator] Paddington, please don't take this the wrong way, but are you certain there was an explorer? [Paddington stares calmly at him, then begins to furrow his brow angrily and widen his eyes in anger] You didn't just find the hat and make up some...? [he notices Paddington glaring at him] 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: Hmm.
Paddington: Flushed?
Henry: Hmm.
Paddington: Queasy?
Henry: Hmm.
Paddington: It's called a hard stare. [relaxes his face] My aunt taught me to do them when people had forgotten their manners.
Henry: [under his breath] Oh, give me strength.
Paddington: Mr. Brown, you can trust me. There really was an explorer. And if we can find him, I know he'll give me a home, a proper home, like yours. Now I've got an idea, but I'm going to need your help.

View Quote 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.

View Quote 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]

View Quote Mary: [as they run to the leftmost window] Henry? Henry, do not go out there.
Jonathan: Do it, Dad!
Henry: Someone has to. [jumps down] And that someone is me.
Mary: Oh... Oh, I say... [Henry kisses her, Jonathan stares]
Judy: Um... [she looks away in embarrassment]
Mary: My hero. [her painting reveals Henry's face] Crikey. [Henry walks out the window]

View Quote Millicent: Not so fast! [the Browns gasp in fear] C'mon, hand over the bear.
Mary: No. We won't do that.
Paddington: Mrs. Brown?
Mary: [she puts her hand on Paddington] He's family.
Millicent: "Family"? You're not even the same species.
Paddington: It's true.
Henry: It is true. And when I first met Paddington, I wanted nothing to do with him. [looks at Mary] But my wonderful wife, she opened her heart to him. [looks back to Millicent] And so did my incredible children. And now I have too! [he walks up to Millicent]
Mary: [softly] Henry...
Henry: It doesn't matter that he comes from the other side of the world. Or that he's a different species. [Millicent prepares to shoot] 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! [Mary smiles]
Millicent: Okay then. [Mary gasps in fear]
Henry: When I say "all"...
Millicent: I've never stuffed a human before, but...
Paddington: [interrupts] Wait! Wait. You don't need to do that. [starts walking towards Millicent]
Jonathan: Paddington!
Judy: [sadly] No.
Millicent: [smiling wickedly] Yes. That's it. Come, come.
Paddington: [sees a pigeon land on the roof] Uh...could I have one last request?
Millicent: [sighs is disgust] What is it?
Paddington: I'd like a sandwich. There's one in my hat.
Millicent: Go on then.
Paddington: Thank you. [takes off his hat, pulls out his sandwich, and throws it at Millicent]
Millicent: [the pigeons fly at her, leading her off the cliff] Nice try, bear! [the hatch opens in front of her] Aah!
Mrs. Bird: THE CROW'S NEST!
Paddington: Mrs. Bird!
Mrs. Bird: What?!
Millicent: [offscreen] Hey! [seen hanging on a flagpole] Why don't you look where you're going?
Mrs. Bird: Ah, shut your pie hole. [spills coffee on Millicent]
