Paddington Page #2

You can be whatever you want, peanut.

- Oh, stranger danger.

- What?

Keep your eyes down.

There's some sort of bear over there.

- Probably selling something.

- Good evening.

No, thank you.

Oh, dear.

Must be doing something wrong.

Hello there.

Mary!

Oh. Hello.

Coming down in stair rods, isn't it?

Oh...

Yes.

- Mum...

- Er...

I hope you don't mind me asking,

but shouldn't you be at home?

Oh, yes, I should. But... I haven't

quite worked out how to find one.

- Where are your parents?

- They died when I was small.

- Here we go.

- All I have left is my aunt.

- And where's she?

- Darkest Peru.

- In the home for retired bears.

- Yeah, course she is.

How did you get here?

- I stowed away. In a lifeboat.

- Cool!

And ate marmalade.

Did you know bears like marmalade?

I didn't even know bears could talk.

Well, I'm a very rare bear.

There aren't many of us left.

And what are you going to do now?

Well, I thought I would probably

just sleep over there in that bin.

That's the spirit. Anyway...

- Dad!

- Why don't we find you some help?

Oh, yes, please.

If you're sure it's no trouble?

Of course it isn't. Is it, darling?

Not at all.

- Yes, that is good.

- So...

- What's your name?

- Hmm?

- Do bears even have names?

- Of course we do.

My name is...

Beg your pardon?

Right.

- Well, go on.

- Hmm?

You try it.

Back of the throat.

Mr Brown, that is extremely rude.

Oh, at last.

Oh. Er, wait for me.

Is someone coming to get him?

Everyone's gone.

He'll have to come with us.

- No way.

- Dad!

- Stay where you are.

- He's so embarrassing.

We can't leave him here.

We can.

He's not our responsibility.

He's a young bear

who needs our help, Henry.

It's just for one night, until we can

find the right people to look after him.

There you are.

- OK.

- Yes!

- Excuse me?

- Hello.

I'm dreadfully sorry,

I don't actually know your name.

Well, I've got a bear name, but it seems

to be rather hard to pronounce.

That's not ripe.

- Perhaps you'd like an English name.

- An English name? Like what?

Oh, look, Henry, it's perfect.

You want to call him Ketchup?

Ketchup the bear?

- Paddington!

- Paddington?

Paddington.

Pa-dding-ton.

Paddington!

Sorry! I like it.

Well, then, Paddington, how would you

like to come home with us?

London is the place for me

London, that lovely city

You could go to France or America

India, Asia or Australia

You're gonna come back to London City

London is the place for me

Oh! What sort of route do you call that?

Well, the young bear

said it was his first time in London.

I thought I'd show him the sights.

- Should've charged more!

- Keep the change.
