Mr. Curry

Miss Clyde! [runs up to Millicent]

Millicent

Mr. Curry. What do you want?

Mr. Curry
[shows a bouquet of withered flowers]

I found these tied to a lamppost and I thought: "Waste not, want not". [gives Millicent the bouquet]

Millicent

Charming. Now, if you'll excuse me... [walks away]

Mr. Curry

Uh...where exactly are you going?

Millicent
[stops and turns around]

What concern is it of yours?

Mr. Curry
[points to the taxidermist van, referring to Paddington]

You've got the bear in there.

Millicent

And...?

Mr. Curry

It's just... I thought you were sending him to Peru, but...

Millicent

I said I was sending him where he belongs, which, in his case, is the Natural History Museum.

Mr. Curry

But, Honeypot, that is barbaric.

Millicent
[angrily]

Mr. Curry, I am not your "Honeypot". I never was.

Mr. Curry
[realizes he's been used]

What?

Millicent
[gives Mr. Curry back the bouquet in frustration]

Now take your rotten flowers and get out of here. Go. [Mr. Curry backs away slowly, she barks at him, he then runs away]

Millicent
[opens the museum doors]

Welcome to your new home, bear. This is a cathedral of knowledge. Every major explorer has added to its glory. [points to 3 of many exhibits in the room] Charles Darwin brought the giant tortoise from the Galapagos.

Paddington

Good evening.

Millicent

Captain Scott, the emperor penguin from Antarctica.

Paddington

Gentlemen.

Millicent

Captain Cook, the kangaroo from Australia.

Paddington

Good day.

Millicent

Each of these men have been immortalized through these 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.

Boss Geographer
[the flashback begins]

No specimen?

Montgomery

Gentlemen, gentlemen... I-I-I mean, these were no dumb beasts. I mean, they-they were intelligent and civilized.

Geographer 1

Oh, come off it, Clyde. They didn't even speak English.

Montgomery

Well, no, but...

Geographer 2

Did they play cricket?

Geographer 3

Drink tea?

Geographer 4

Do the crossword?

Geographer 1

Pretty rum idea of civilization you've got, Clyde.

Boss

Tell us their location. We'll send a real explorer to get a specimen.

Montgomery
[pause]

Never. [the crowd gasps]

Boss

Very well. You leave me no choice. This expedition shall be struck from the records. [receptionist rips off the records] Montgomery Clyde, I hereby revoke your membership of the hallowed Guild. [rips off his membership necklace] Geographers, turn your backs. [turns his back on Montgomery, followed by his fellow geographers]

Millicent
[during the flashback]

We could've 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. [the flashback ends] And now, at last, that day has come. [unveils a glass box that reads "Ursus marmaladus", Paddington sees a foreshadowing vision of himself in it] That's right. I'm going to stuff you, bear.

Paddington
[Paddington gasps and runs away in fear, trying to escape the museum, but Millicent shot him the butt with a tranquilizer] [weakly]

Ow...! [he falls down the stairs and falls asleep]

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]
