Quotes 

• Mr. Curry : [into megaphone]  We don't want him here.

  Henry Brown : No, of course you don't. YOU never have! As soon as you set eyes on that bear you made up your mind about him. Well Paddington's not like that. He looks for the good in all of us and somehow, he finds it! It's why he makes friends wherever he goes. And it's why Windsor Gardens is a happier place whenever he's around. He wouldn't hesitate if any of *us* needed help! So stand aside, Mr Curry. 'Cause we're coming through!

• Henry Brown : Would you excuse us a moment?

  [flicks a switch] 

  Henry Brown : What are you doing?

  Mary Brown : Talking to the nice men.

  Henry Brown : Nice men? Mary, we can't trust these people. I mean look at them! Talk about a rogues' gallery. Hideous! And as for that bearded baboon in the middle, he's hardly got two brain cells to rub together.

  Knuckles McGinty : We can still hear you, Mr Brown. That was the light you turned off. The microphone is on the other side. It's got 'microphone' written on it.

• Paddington : Have you ever been fired, Mr. Brown?

  Henry Brown : Well, no. But, er... are you, you quite sure you're ready for the workplace, Paddington?

• Mary Brown : What happened to the man I married? He'd have believed me.

  Henry Brown : Oh, him. He's gone.

• Judy Brown : Guess what, Paddington?

  Paddington : [drinking from the teapot]  H'm?

  Judy Brown : The steam fair's coming to town.

  Paddington : Unh!

  Judy Brown : I'm going along tonight to write about it in my newspaper.

  Paddington : H'm!

  Jonathan Brown : Who's going to want to read about that?

  Judy Brown : Everyone! They travel the world in a old steam train! I thought you'd love it!

  Jonathan Brown : I do. Don't tell anyone, OK? Not cool.

  Mary Brown : Why don't we all go?

  Henry Brown : Good idea!

  Mary Brown : Your father's a dab hand at coconut shy. Bullseye Brown they used to call him.

  Henry Brown : Well, not anymore. Coconuts are a young man's game.

• Phoenix Buchanan : Oh, well that sounds entirely... plausible.

  Henry Brown : Does it? Great! Well, I'm delighted to say that everything seems tickety-boo.

  Phoenix Buchanan : Wonderful.

  Henry Brown : So! I'll nip back to the office and get the boys to type that up ASAP. And we'll hope to see you soon!

  Phoenix Buchanan : Indeed! Perhaps next time, *not* in your pyjamas. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

  Mary Brown : [laughing]  He's such a silly one!

  Phoenix Buchanan : Now, now.
