A scene from Paddington 2014
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.

Mary
[flashback, "Born to be Wild" plays in the background]

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...?
