(male announcer) 'Support your prime minister.

Remember him on election day.'

'Support your prime minister. Remember him on election day.'

(Paddington) 'Excuse me.

Coming through. Oh, so sorry.'

You're so kind. Thank you very much.

(Paddington) 'My favorite part of the morning

shopping is buying buns.'

Good mornin'. I have your standin' order, Mr. Brown.

Four buns.

(Paddington) 'I'd like a dozen

today, please.'

A dozen?

Yes, please. It's my pocket money day.

But that was only 12.

That's right. Twelve makes a dozen.

zap

But a baker's dozen is 13.

You're quite right.

Thank you very much.

I shall enjoy sharing these with Mr. Gruber.

Huh, that bear drives a hard bargain.

That's a good start for the day.

(Paddington) 'Oh, it's time for

elevenses with Mr. Gruber.'

(male announcer) 'Support the prime minister.'

'Support the prime minister.'

[grunting]

[indistinct chatter]

honk honk

One moment. So sorry. Just a slight delay.

Move along there, bear.

Oh! Oh, no.

(Paddington) P-please, s-stop.

clang clang

James, there is a suspicious looking bear following us.

Right, Prime Minister. Hold on.

vroom

Ooh. Oh, my.

He's still following us.

(James) 'We'll see about that.'

vroom

bash

(Paddington) 'Watch out.'

screech

(Paddington) 'Oh, no. H-e-e-elp.'

(Paddington) Excuse me.

(James) 'We seem to have

lost him, Prime Minister.'

Look out.

(Prime Minister) 'Not quite, James.'

screech

[all screaming]

vroom

Not my size at all.

I know that bears are supposed

to be determined creatures, James

but this is ridiculous.

screech

Ah, Mr. Brown, just in time for our elevenses.

Ha-ha, you've had quite a morning, Mr. Brown.

Caught in a traffic jam, taking a wild ride.

Are you feeling better now?

Much better. Thank you, Mr. Gruber.

Oh, perhaps you'd like this last.

Oh, please, Mr. Brown, do indulge yourself.

I dare say you need it after the excitement you've had.

Events are always a bit unpredictable

around election time.

What's an election, Mr. Gruber?

It's when people vote to decide

who is going to be in charge of the country.

Oh, it sounds very important.

If you like, Mr. Brown, I will close the shop early today.

And we can go for a walk in Hyde Park.

'I'll take you to the Speakers' Corner.'

It's a good place to go if you want to learn about elections.

Oh, yes, please, Mr. Gruber. I'd like that.

[instrumental music]

Ah, there's nothing like a peaceful stroll

in the park to set things right.

Gloom and doom. That's right, ladies and gentlemen..

...uh, boy and bear.

I am tellin' ya the empire's going to wreck and ruin.

bam

Soon, money won't be worth the paper it's printed on.

[trumpet music]

And we'll all be left without

even an umbrella for our rainy day.

clang

[laughing]

And just what do you think you're doing, bear?

Why, I'm giving you an umbrella for a rainy day.

Although it doesn't look at all like rain.

[laughing]

(male 1) 'Doesn't look like rain. Ha

ha.'

(male 2) 'You tell him, bear.'

You'd better run along and--

Life isn't all gloom and doom.

There are many good things like marmalade sandwiches.

[laughing]

(Paddington) 'And having elevenses.'

And there's driving a hard bargain too.

(together) Yeah, that's right.

There ought to be a law against bears inciting

riots.

What do you stand for?

The national anthem or when a lady comes into the room.

[laughing]

What do you sit for?

Marmalade sandwiches.

[crowd cheering]

- 'No flies on that bear.' - What party do you represent?

Uh, what party? I don't know.

[crowd cheering]

He represents, "The Don't Knows."

(male 3) 'That's what we need.'

Yeah. Someone to represent "The Don't Knows."

He could win the election.

Ha ha. You would be prime minister, Paddington.

That's a great idea, guv.

Paddington for prime minister.

(together) Paddington for prime minister.

Paddington for prime minister.

Huh, prime minister?

(Mr. Gruber) 'I think it's time

I took you home, Mr. Brown.'

(together) 'Paddington for prime

minister.'

A most unusual day, Mr. Brown.

(together) 'Paddington for prime

minister.'

I wonder what Aunt Lucy would say.

[thinking] Dear, Aunt Lucy,

today was most unusual.

(Mr. Brown) 'I don't believe it.'

plop

- It looks just like.. - Like Paddington.

(Mr. Brown) '"Bear to run the country."'

'What is this all about?'

If you ask me, it smells trouble.

(Paddington) 'Hmm, it's a bit fuzzy.'

Paddington, what have you done to your face?

I was writing a letter to my Aunt Lucy and--

Oh, never mind. Just tell us, is this you?

Yes, I-I think so.

Ha ha, no, no. Not the real you. Is this you in the newspaper?

Oh, no. It couldn't be me. Much too fuzzy.

Hmm, perhaps it's another bear from darkest Peru.

Another bear?

Well, I don't much care for public spectacles.

And elections are the worst.

Yes, they're very tiring. I think, I may go to bed.

Amazing likeness, really.

I've always said there's more to that bear than meets the eye.

(Prime Minister) 'The Don't Know Party.'

'I don't like the sound of it, Mr. Pennyworth.'

(Mr. Pennyworth) 'No, Prime Minister.'

You realize what this means?

If they capture the "Don't Knows" vote

it could spell disaster for all of us.

We won't stand a chance.

Uh, what's the leader's name?

Paddington Brown, Prime Minister.

(Prime Minister) 'Paddington Brown?

Hmm, how curious.'

'He looks just like that bear'

'who was following me this morning.'

Uh, find out all about this, uh, Paddington Brown.

His circumstances, where he's from and what he's up to?

Right away, Prime Minister.

[indistinct chatter]

[yawns]

Good morning.

[crowd cheering]

A vote for "The Don't Knows"

is a vote for Paddington Bear.

I'm going downstairs to have my toast and marmalade now.

(together) Hooray!

Goodbye, dear, I'll see you in..

What in the name of..

- Where is Paddington Brown? - Can he win the election?

Is marmalade really the answer?

Any history of hibernation on the job?

If he wins, who's going to be Foreign Secretary?

P-Paddington, I expect.

He comes from darkest Peru.

How about Minister of Transport?

Paddington's got a shopping basket on wheels.

thud

Quick, back inside the house.

- What's his background? - How did he do in school?

What are his marks?

Marks? Sort of a paw print. He signs it on everything.

The phone's ringing off the hook.

Everyone's demanding Paddington for prime minister.

[babbling]

Mummy, there's a man coming down our chimney.

And I don't think it's Santa Claus.

They've invaded the cellar.

(male 4) 'Hey, ow, we're the press.'

Back. Back to the dog pit you crawled from.

Get away from my roses.

And watch those geraniums.

(male 5) Excuse me, madam. What does

Paddington like for breakfast?

Where is Paddington?

I think, I'll take my breakfast out today.

(together) Send out Paddington.

We want Paddington.

(together) We want Paddington.

We want Paddington.

We want Paddington. We want Paddington..

Oh, travelling in disguise is all very well.

But it does make you hungry.

Especially when you're a bear who hasn't had breakfast.

Wearing a disguise? Most suspicious.

(Paddington) 'Perhaps, Mr. Gruber

would like to have'

'his elevenses at nineses today.'

screech

(Sir Huntley) 'There you are, Paddington.'

'I've been looking all over for you.'

Oh, hello, Sir Huntley. I was in disguise.

Meeting Sir Huntley? Very mysterious.

No!

thud

(Sir Huntley) 'I've got a surprise for

you at my marmalade factory.'

It's always a pleasure to visit your factory, Sir Huntley.

Splendid and afterwards, we can have

a marmalade sandwich or two.

I'd sooner have two.

(Mr. Pennyworth) He's getting away.

Official business. I need that tricycle.

That's alright, sir.

This one's mine.

[panting]

Out of the way! Look out! Official business.

[panting]

vroom

[coughing]

Oh, no.

I say, no.

I should have t-t-taken the b-b-bus.

boing boing

Morning, Sir Huntley.

(Mr. Pennyworth) 'Coming through.'

crash

thud

No authorization, no admittance.

(Sir Huntley) 'This is my printing

room, Paddington.'

It's where all the labels for my marmalade jars are printed.

(Paddington) 'Oh, it's most

impressive, Sir Huntley.'

And over here is your surprise.

Why, it's me. And here, I come again.

And again.

(Sir Huntley) 'In honor of your candidacy'

'I'm having all of my marmalade jars labeled with your

picture.'

- How is it done? - Oh, it's quite simple.

(Sir Huntley) 'The suction cup

picks up the paper.'

'And carries it to the glue pot.'

'Here it's coated on one side with..'

- 'Glue?' - 'Precisely.'

'Then it's on to the printing press where it gets printed.'

I never knew that standing

for prime minister could be such fun.

Yes, Paddington. But it's also serious and important too.

Now, how would you like to sample the finished product?

Oh, yes, please.

Um, Sir Huntley, there is one thing I don't quite understand.

How do you get such big sheets of paper

to go on much smaller jars?

(Sir Huntley) 'Nothing easier.'

'The label chopper takes care of all that.'

'Those razor sharp blades trim everything down to size.'

[muffled screaming]

thud thud

[intense music]

thud

That bear is definitely a threat to the government.

(Prime Minister) 'Inciting a riot.

Travelling in disguise.'

'Printing marmalade labels of himself.'

Uh, this is turning into a very sticky situation.

Absolutely, Prime Minister.

Perhaps, it's time I paid a personal visit

to Mr. Paddington Brown.

A personal visit, Prime Minister?

The future of us all depends upon it.

[indistinct chatter]

All stations, report.

Windows secure.

The chimney's secure, dear.

whirr

(male 6) 'No! She's found us, Fred.'

plop

Kitchen all clear.

And where is the cause of all our problems?

Paddington?

The last time I looked, he was up

in his room practicing his acceptance speech.

Friends, Romans, countrymen.

No, no, that's not right.

Uh, ladies and gentlemen.

No. Madams and monsieurs.

I do hope all those people are gone by morning.

Don't rely on it. I'm told they always attack at dawn.

vroom

People are leaving. I'll go see.

No, David, it's a trick to lull us

into a false sense of security.

knock knock knock

[instrumental music]

snap snap

Where is this Paddington Brown?

- Prime Minister! - Huh, my dress.

(both) How exciting.

I'll make tea.

[clearing throat]

My delightful people, as prime minister..

Uh, hello.

Are you Paddington Brown from darkest Peru?

Now, wait a minute. He's a perfectly legal bear.

That's right. He has his passport.

You're not gonna deport him, are you?

Everyone else to the kitchen.

I have state business to discuss with this bear.

You know, Mr. Brown, being prime minister

is not all parades and speeches.

Oh, I'm glad of that. Bears aren't very good in speeches.

Being prime minister would also mean fewer visits

to your friend Mr. Gruber.

No more shopping by yourself, and of course..

...you would have to leave the Browns

and live in Downing Street?

Leave the Browns? But...but I couldn't do that.

I'm much too happy here.

Perhaps, uh, we could come to an agreement?

A bargain? We bears, drive hard bargains, you know.

What will the prime minister do to Paddington?

Oh, he might deport him.

Or take him into custody.

The prime minister can be awfully tough.

And we're very fond of that bear.

What are they doing now?

They're sitting on the couch.

Oh, that's a bad sign.

Now, he's giving the prime minister

marmalade.

(Mr. Pennyworth) 'Even worse.

He hates marmalade.'

This marmalade is excellent, Paddington.

Now, about your proposition..

I do hope he's not too hard on Paddington.

(Prime Minister) 'Ha ha ha.'

(together) Whoa!

Ha ha. Very well then, Paddington.

You shall give me your support

in exchange for what we've agreed upon.

That bear has certainly got his head screwed on the right way.

[instrumental music]

- Well done, Paddington. - Does this mean you can stay?

- How'd you do it? - Well, let him speak.

Now, Paddington, are we to understand

that you are not standing for prime minister?

Stand for prime minister, Mrs. Bird?

Oh, no, I shall be much too busy for that.

I have been appointed Minister of Marmalade.

(together) '"Minister of Marmalade?"'

What will you do?

Why, taste marmalade for the prime minister, of course.

Two cases a year to be exact.

A case of Sir Huntley's chunky

and one of regular should be right.

Or maybe the extra sweet would be nice.

'I shall have to sleep on it.'

Hoo-hoo. It's nice to have a bear around the house.
