[Paddington] Dear Aunt Lucy,
in Peru, I spent the night in a tree
and in London, I spend the night in a house.
But recently,
I spent the night in a treehouse.
It all started when we were making marmalade sandwiches.
-[playful music] -[squishing]
Do you think we have enough?
-How many have we made? -[Paddington chomps]
This is number six.
Paddington, stop eating the supplies!
Supplies? Supplies for what?
For tonight.
We want to sleep in the treehouse.
-Oh, that's a wonderful idea. -That's a terrible idea.
What?
Why is that a terrible idea?
Because, in the middle of the night, they'll all get scared,
come running back in the house and we won't get any sleep.
We will not get scared!
You say that now, but just wait until it gets dark.
You are just too young for this sort of thing.
Too young? Mrs. Bird had sailed half way to India
by the time she was my age.
And look how she turned out.
-[Scottish accent] How is that exactly? -[screams]
Uh… As a wonderful woman, who is a credit to this family
and we are very grateful for everything you do for us.
Aye. That's what I thought.
-Well, I think it's a splendid idea. -What?
Besides, Paddington will be there,
and he came all the way from Peru.
That I did, Mrs. Brown. So I know a thing or two about…
Oh…
I've eaten the supplies again.
Well, I say go for it.
As long as you promise to be careful
and come in if you do get scared.
[both] We won't get scared!
[sighs]
None of us is getting any sleep tonight.
[ominous music]
With every step we took,
we delved deeper into the unknown.
What are you doing, Jonathan?
I'm narrating our adventure.
All great explorers do it.
Well, you're not an explorer.
Said Judy,
the brave explorer's boring sister.
[Paddington] Hmm.
Now it's dark, it does look a little bit scary.
Nonsense.
Once we set up the lamp, it won't be in the least bit scary.
You did bring the lamp, didn't you, Jonathan?
Yeah. Here it is.
We're good.
Now, Paddington…
Paddington?
-Yes? -[both screaming]
-Don't do that! -Do what?
-Jump out on us like that. -You scared the life out of me.
Oh, I didn't jump out on you.
I was behind you when I spoke and there's nothing scary…
-[cooing] -[screaming]
Pigeonton!
I see what you mean now.
[Paddington] Ah!
Well, it all feels very cosy now.
Wait till Jonathan dishes out the snacks.
They're not snacks, they're rations.
That's what explorers call them.
But you aren't an explorer.
Said the explorer's annoying sister.
Er, do explorers also put all the chocolates in their pile?
That's… an accident.
[lively music]
Ah! I think we are going to have a lovely evening.
Yeah, silly dad thinking we'd get scared.
-[sizzling] -[all screaming]
What happened?
The batteries for the lamp must have run out.
Don't worry. I brought spares.
[Jonathan chomps]
Jonathan,
are you eating my chocolates?
No.
Right, I'm taking some of yours.
[suspenseful music]
[gasps and screams]
I didn't know you were scared of spiders, Judy.
[trembling] I'm not.
[chuckles] I thought you weren't scared!
-[screaming] -Oh!
I'm not scared, by the way.
I just want to give the spider its space.
[soft music]
I know I heard something.
If you're trying to steal my gnomes,
I must warn you I have a flashlight
and I'm not afraid to use it!
-[crash] -[screams]
Bye-bye, Mr. Spider.
[crash]
-What's that? -It's coming from Mr. Curry's garden.
-Perhaps we should see what it is. -Yeah.
[rhythmic music]
-Go see what it is, Judy. -Me?
Wait. Is the brave explorer scared?
I'm not scared. I just…
don't want to go.
Yeah. Because you're scared.
No. You're scared.
-Why don't we all go? -[Judy] Yeah!
You first.
[Mr. Curry] Maurice, Michelle, Tracey, Fred, Ginger,
Maude, Ethel, Gertrude.
[suspenseful music]
[screams]
[rustling]
Oh!
It's coming from next door.
Be brave, Mr. Curry.
[whispering] Be very quiet.
[both screaming]
What are you doing?
I thought you were stealing my gnomes!
There seems to have been a mix-up.
Let's all just go back to bed.
And keep the noise down!
Sorry, Mr. Curry.
And I'll be counting my gnomes!
Maybe we should sleep in the house tonight, after all?
And prove Dad right?
No way!
There's nothing to be scared of now.
[ominous music]
-[hooting] -[both screaming]
Oh!
My goodness, a barn owl.
Would you mind ever so much leaving our treehouse, please?
This isn't a barn.
Oh!
Maybe it's a treehouse owl.
Whatever owl it is, I'm not scared. Shoo!
-[Jonathan] Shoo! -[hooting]
Hmm. So far, not a peep.
-Perhaps they're braver than you thought. -Hmm…
I must say, I am rather impressed.
I half expected them to be shrieking with fear by now. But…
maybe I'll be proved wrong.
-[hooting] -[both screaming]
[rhythmic music]
Oh! Oh!
-[hooting] -[he screams]
[suspenseful music]
Okay, it's gone.
-[hooting] -It's back!
[both screaming]
[rhythmic music]
It's okay. It's gone again.
-Well, it won't come back a… third time! -[hooting]
Oh!
If you go away, you can take all Jonathan's chocolate!
Hey!
[music stops]
Now, listen, my little owl friend,
you have been asked nicely and now there's nothing else for it.
It's time for a hard stare.
[suspenseful music]
[hoots]
Well, I must confess this has been very dramatic.
Perhaps we should call it a night and just go to sleep inside.
No! We're not going to sleep inside.
It was only a silly bird
and a very small spider that I wasn't scared of at all.
[demonic laugh]
Okay… so I was a little scared of the spider.
So let's just all cuddle up and go to sleep.
I think that sounds like a splendid idea, Judy.
[soft music]
Turn the lamp off, Jonathan.
And sleep in the dark?
Would an explorer be afraid of the dark?
So, the brave explorer turned out the lamp
and cuddled his sister
just to make sure she wasn't scared.
Which she isn't,
because there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of.
[thunder]
[Jonathan and Judy screaming]
Psst! Are you awake?
No.
Do you think we should go and get the kids?
[sighs]
They are probably fast asleep, like I was.
It's only light rain. It'll probably stop in a moment.
[thunder]
-[ominous music] -[screaming]
[laughs] Who's scared now, Dad?
I wasn't scared. I was surprised.
But I can see you got scared or you wouldn't be in the kitchen!
No, we didn't come in because we were scared,
we came in because it was raining.
Well, what matters is you are all safe.
And having what looks like a lovely midnight feast.
There's plenty of sandwiches if you want to join us, Mrs. Brown.
Actually, I've got a better idea.
[gentle music]
-Oh! -Ah! [laughs]
-[thunder] -[gasps]
The storm's not so scary in here.
In fact, it's rather beautiful.
Oh!
Yes, it is, Paddington.
Very beautiful indeed.
I told you none of us would get a good night's sleep.
[yawns]
But this is much nicer.
[lively music]
[Paddington] It was a wonderful night, Aunt Lucy.
I really enjoyed watching the storm,
and I can't believe I was ever scared of it.
It goes to show that sometimes
the things that scare you at first…
-[cooing] -[screams]
[sighs]
…can end up being something you really enjoy.
Love from Paddington.
[Paddington] Dear Aunt Lucy,
this has been an absolutely monstrous week.
I'll start from the beginning.
Judy was telling us a scary story…
[Judy] And the noise got louder and louder.
But it wasn't the sound of the washing machine.
[Paddington] Judy, why are you shining your torch under your chin?
Paddington, it's supposed to make the story more spooky.
Oh, sorry.
-It wasn't the sound of the boiler. -[both screaming]
[Judy] And it wasn't the sound of Dad snoring.
Oh!
Sorry.
Do go on, Judy.
The scary noise was coming from between the walls.
[screams]
They peeped through the rip in the wallpaper and saw…
the monster!
I beg your pardon, Judy, but what is a monster?
A monster?
It's a beast with great hairy feet!
[gasps]
-And great hairy hands! -[gasps]
-And flashing eyes! -A scaly tail!
And sharp teeth!
And they hide in your houses, in the attics!
And below the floorboards.
And they only come out at night.
[Paddington] Oh! Oh!
Oh, no!
There's no mention of monsters in The Young Bear's Guide to London.
[Paddington] You see, Aunt Lucy,
Judy's story really got me thinking about monsters.
[the floor creaks]
-[Paddington] And then I heard it. -[low growl]
Oh!
-[low growl] -Oh!
[low growl]
[Paddington] It was just my tummy.
[sigh of relief]
Luckily, I had my emergency sandwich.
-[scurrying] -Oh!
[ominous music]
-[sound continues] -Oh!
[screams]
[gasps] The monster ate my sandwich.
[music stops]
[Mrs. Brown] Are you okay, Paddington?
I think there's a monster in my room.
[Mrs. Brown] Oh, Paddington,
there's no such thing as monsters
Oh.
Don't you worry, Paddington.
I'll keep an eye out.
[rhythmic music]
[Paddington] Hmm.
[screams]
Oh, Paddington, you're so jumpy!
I'm looking for monster footprints.
It'd be just like a monster
to come in here without wiping its feet.
I just made that story up, you know.
I used to be afraid of monsters too.
Did you?
-I thought there was one under my bed. -[screams]
-Then I thought it lived in my toy box. -[screams]
But, Paddington, there were no terrors in my toy box
or beasts under the bed.
It was all in my imagination.
Yes.
I suppose you're right, Judy.
Just my imagination.
[scurrying]
Oh! Oh!
[suspenseful music]
[gentle music]
Hmm.
Oh! Paddington?
Yes, Mrs. Bird?
Still having a wee problem with a monster, I hear.
Well… yes. I do. But I know what you're going to say.
Oh? What am I going to say?
That there's no such thing as monsters.
No such thing as monsters? Oh!
Monsters are very real indeed!
[gasps] They are?
Of course!
But you are in luck, little bear.
I am one of the boldest monster hunters in the world.
You, Mrs. Bird?
Have you ever heard of the Loch Ness Monster?
Well, I caught her,
gave her some excellent advice about hiding,
and sent her back to the depths.
Crikey!
Bigfoot? [laughs]
I caught her too, gave her some comfortable shoes,
and popped her back in the woods.
Oh, that sounds very kind, Mrs. Bird.
And we'll do the same with your monster.
Now what are you doing with that magnifying glass?
I was rather hoping to find some monster tracks.
Well, for a start,
you're looking in the wrong place.
Oh!
[she giggles]
[Mrs. Bird] Looks to me like we've got ourselves a trail.
[Paddington] So Mrs. Bird and I went off on a monster hunt.
It wasn't long
before we found some monstrous clues.
Aha! Definite sign of a monster!
Really? Feathers?
Monsters are allergic to feathers.
These are found in the snuggliest of bedclothes.
If you want to keep monsters at bay,
you should surround yourself in a snuggly quilt.
Look! There's more…
Why don't we follow them?
[soft music]
Ah!
They'll probably lead into the garden.
How do you know?
Oh, just a guess.
[growling]
Do you hear that, Mrs. Bird?
It sounds like a monster.
-Yes. It does rather. -Look!
That my feather quilt!
Hmm… I think I recognise that monster snoring.
I think the sound is coming from behind the pile.
Are you ready, little bear?
[snoring]
[both] Got you!
[screaming]
-[panting] -Goodness!
We're very sorry, Mr. Brown.
We mistook you for a monster.
A monster?
Now, look here, Paddington,
I may snore, but I don't sound like a monster.
[clears his throat] A small car, maybe.
Now then, Mr. Brown. I see you are, um… very busy.
So, we won't disturb you any more.
Yes. Yeah, I just, uh…
I just wanted somewhere quiet to read the news.
By the way, um… what did you want all those lamps for?
Shh!
[Paddington] Then we took our monster hunt
into the studio, which was very illuminating.
You see, monsters are afraid of the dark.
So they like to keep things as bright as possible.
My goodness!
Monsters are afraid of the dark?
They don't sound very frightening.
Och, Paddington. I never said they were frightening.
Perhaps we'd better turn out all these lights,
to scare them off.
[soft music]
Oh!
[crash]
I've found something.
[suspenseful music]
It's looking at me with its monster eyes!
[growling]
It's moving around!
[screams]
[ominous music]
[gasps]
It's got a great big tentacle! [gasps]
Help me, Mrs. Bird!
It's trying to suck me in!
[Mrs. Bird] That's because it's a vacuum cleaner!
Well, it's jolly rude one, I can tell you.
[muffled] I wouldn't mind a little help!
[Paddington] Mrs. Bird and I spent the whole afternoon
hunting for monsters.
We found they had made a terrible mess in the kitchen.
Oh, look at this.
The monster is trying to get rid of the milk.
Trying to get rid of the milk?
Monsters hate it.
So, to ward them away,
the best thing to do
is to have a lovely, warm mug of milk
right before bed.
Oh, I see.
Are you all right,
Paddington Bear?
All this talk of snuggly blankets and warm milk
has made me feel… [yawns]
…quite sleepy.
How about an early night?
[soft music]
Now we know the best way to keep monsters at bay.
Get cuddled up in a snuggly bed,
have a lovely mug of warm milk, and…?
Turn out the light.
Absolutely correct.
Mrs. Bird, I know what you've been doing.
And… what's that, dear?
You were making sure
that I wouldn't be scared of monsters any more.
And all those things that monsters don't like, well,
they make bedtime all snuggly and cosy, don't they?
They do indeed, you clever cub.
And I'm afraid I also told you a fib.
There's no such thing as monsters, is there?
-[crash] -[gasps]
-The noise! -[crash]
The monstrous noise!
Only, there's no such thing as monsters.
So it won't be anything to be scared of.
[suspenseful music]
-[squeaking] -Oh!
-Why, it's just a mouse! -[screaming]
A mouse! Of course!
I'm not frightened at all. No, no. That wasn't a scream!
I think that's just about enough excitement for one day.
Sleep well, Paddington.
[Paddington] Good night, Mrs. Bird.
-[squeaking] -Oh, and, Mrs. Bird?
Yes, dear?
Do you think we could go on another monster hunt tomorrow?
[chuckles]
And I think you're rather partial to marmalade sandwiches.
[Paddington] So, it turns out that monsters are not real,
but the best thing I learnt is that Mrs. Bird is very, very fun
to go on a monster hunt with.
Love from Paddington.
