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.
[the flashback begins]
Boss Geographer: 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 gasps and runs away in fear, trying to escape the museum, but Millicent shot him the butt with a tranquilizer]
Paddington: [weakly] Ow...! [he falls down the stairs and falls asleep]
