Dear Aunt Lucy,

00:00:34,723 --> 00:00:37,043
it's been a day full of surprises,

16
00:00:37,123 --> 00:00:40,603

Thank you, Paddington.

This is from both of us.
Although it was my idea.

23
00:00:59,923 --> 00:01:01,443
No, it was my idea.

24
00:01:01,523 --> 00:01:03,323
I was the one who said,

"Mum would love a new mug."

Kids, Paddington, can I have a quick word?

You forgot Mum's birthday?

I'm in so much trouble.

We could throw a surprise party
for Mrs. Brown.

57
00:02:42,163 --> 00:02:44,443
I used to do one
every single year for Aunt Lucy

58

and she was surprised every time.

Great idea, Paddington.

60
00:02:48,563 --> 00:02:51,483
The problem is,
you have to arrive at a surprise party

61
00:02:51,563 --> 00:02:53,443
and Mum's already here.

62
00:02:53,603 --> 00:02:56,323
How about I take her out for an hour,

63
00:02:56,403 --> 00:02:58,043
then you can prepare the house?

64

-Well, there's no time to waste.

Oh!

Well, I think
the less you know the better.

-Don't want to ruin the surprise.
-Are you finished setting up?

107

Um… To be honest, we're a little behind.

-We need some more time.
-Oh!

00:05:24,443 --> 00:05:26,323
But we have fed the ducks so many times

I can only suggest you find
another way to distract Mrs. Brown.

-At ten in the morning?

121
00:05:52,123 --> 00:05:54,643
Did I say lunch? I meant morning meal.

122
00:05:54,723 --> 00:05:58,483
-Oh! Like brunch?
-Yes, like brunch.

123
00:05:58,563 --> 00:06:01,723
I'm still full from breakfast,
so I can wait till lunch.

I suppose I should have guessed that.

Yeah! Grandmother's Footsteps!

It certainly sounds like fun,
but I'm afraid I don't know how to play.

It's easy. You're the grandma

and you look this way,
and we all have to try and get you,

but if you turn around, we have to freeze.

138
00:06:41,163 --> 00:06:44,123
And if you catch us moving,
we have to start again.

139
00:06:51,643 --> 00:06:52,923
And when do we start?

-Can I?
-Yes, Paddington.

-You moved.
-So did you!

00:07:19,643 --> 00:07:20,843
Oh! Start again.

150
00:07:27,483 --> 00:07:29,123
And what happens if you get to me?

151
00:07:31,403 --> 00:07:33,483
Please, I just need to know the rules.

152
00:07:33,563 --> 00:07:35,283
If we get to you, we swap places.

Hello. Browns' residence.

00:07:46,723 --> 00:07:48,883
Paddington, is everything ready?

158
00:07:48,963 --> 00:07:51,203
-Very much so, Mr. Brown.
-Great!

00:07:51,283 --> 00:07:54,283
I can't wait to see Mrs. Brown's face
when she sees the cake.

Cake?

We don't have a cake!

We need more time, Mr. Brown. Goodbye!

Um… oh… right!

164
00:08:02,763 --> 00:08:05,403
Right! So, uh, what shall we do now?

165
00:08:05,563 --> 00:08:08,283
We could go home and digest
the eight different dishes

166
00:08:08,363 --> 00:08:10,443

167
00:08:11,163 --> 00:08:13,723
Or… time to catch a show

in London's glittering West End.

00:08:16,043 --> 00:08:18,443
When was the last time
we went to the theatre?

170
00:08:18,603 --> 00:08:20,803
When you had a ponytail.

171
00:08:20,963 --> 00:08:22,763
That was a very cool look, back then.

Oh, you can do that,
while I warm up my bagpipes.

Ho, ho! It's not a party without bagpipes.

00:08:44,843 --> 00:08:47,203
-What is that?
-An icing bag.

180
00:08:47,283 --> 00:08:49,083
You use it for decorating.

181
00:08:51,083 --> 00:08:53,163
-Right. My go.
-But I'm not finished!

182
00:08:53,243 --> 00:08:56,123
-But you're taking ages!
-I'm doing it carefully!

183
00:08:56,203 --> 00:08:57,163
Don't make a mess.

184
00:08:57,323 --> 00:09:00,483
-I want to make it perfect.
-No, I want to make it perfect.

185
00:09:01,403 --> 00:09:04,283
You wouldn't believe
what happened next, Aunt Lucy.

186
00:09:09,123 --> 00:09:14,083
["Happy Birthday" playing with bagpipes]

187
00:09:16,203 --> 00:09:18,443
Surprise! Oh!

188
00:09:19,803 --> 00:09:21,283
I'm so sorry, Mum.

189
00:09:21,363 --> 00:09:24,443
We were trying to arrange
a surprise party for you.

190
00:09:24,523 --> 00:09:27,243
We're very sorry
to have ruined your birthday.

191
00:09:28,323 --> 00:09:30,923
It's my fault.
I forgot about your birthday.

192
00:09:31,003 --> 00:09:33,203
-And I was trying to improvise.
-[laughs]

193
00:09:33,283 --> 00:09:37,363
And I'm sorry.
It's been a really terrible day.

194
00:09:37,443 --> 00:09:41,363
[laughs] It wasn't terrible.
It was a wonderful day out,

195
00:09:41,443 --> 00:09:44,043
full of surprises
I could never have predicted.

196
00:09:44,123 --> 00:09:46,603
Mr. Brown even took me to the theatre.

197
00:09:46,683 --> 00:09:49,723
-Can you believe that?
-It's not that far-fetched, is it?

198
00:09:51,043 --> 00:09:53,843
-Yes!
-Out of this world, even.

199
00:09:53,923 --> 00:09:56,603
Perhaps you should come
and see the living room.

200
00:09:58,123 --> 00:10:00,643
[gasps] Oh, wow!

201
00:10:02,443 --> 00:10:04,123
You did this all for me?

202
00:10:04,203 --> 00:10:06,363
[all] Happy birthday!

203
00:10:06,443 --> 00:10:08,803
This is the most special birthday ever!

204
00:10:09,883 --> 00:10:11,523
And this cake is delicious.

205
00:10:12,043 --> 00:10:14,963
Although it wasn't the surprise
we all intended,

206
00:10:15,043 --> 00:10:17,523
at least Mrs. Brown saw the funny side.

207
00:10:18,003 --> 00:10:21,403
And I'm sure she will remember
this birthday forever!

208
00:10:21,483 --> 00:10:22,883
I know I will.

209
00:10:22,963 --> 00:10:25,483
Love from Paddington.

210
00:10:25,563 --> 00:10:26,643
[whistles]

211
00:10:26,723 --> 00:10:28,083
[chuckles]

212
00:10:31,803 --> 00:10:33,123
Dear Aunt Lucy,

213
00:10:33,203 --> 00:10:36,803
today I discovered musical instruments.

214
00:10:36,883 --> 00:10:41,563
A musical instrument can make
a horrible noise one moment,

215
00:10:41,643 --> 00:10:44,963
and then a wonderful tune the next.

216
00:10:45,043 --> 00:10:46,843
Let me start at the beginning.

217
00:10:47,003 --> 00:10:48,843
Woohoo! It's Saturday!

218
00:10:49,003 --> 00:10:51,403
So it is. Why are you celebrating?

219
00:10:51,483 --> 00:10:55,043
No school today or tomorrow!
So it's the best day of the week!

220
00:10:55,123 --> 00:10:57,123
Well, I'm rather partial to a Wednesday.

221
00:10:57,563 --> 00:10:59,763
What are you going to do
with your Saturday?

222
00:10:59,843 --> 00:11:02,123
Dad and I are going to put
Old Betty in the lake!

223
00:11:02,203 --> 00:11:05,203
Goodness! Can old Betty swim?

224
00:11:05,283 --> 00:11:09,283
Paddington, Old Betty is the model boat
Jonathan and I have been building.

225
00:11:09,363 --> 00:11:10,603
Wow!

226
00:11:10,683 --> 00:11:12,963
I bet that could make it
all the way to Peru!

227
00:11:13,043 --> 00:11:15,683
Ha, ha! Come on, Jonathan,
or we'll miss the regatta.

228
00:11:15,763 --> 00:11:17,363
Aye-aye, Captain!

229
00:11:17,923 --> 00:11:19,563
What are you planning to do?

230
00:11:19,643 --> 00:11:23,083
Your mother and I are off to zumba,
my dear.

231
00:11:23,163 --> 00:11:26,163
Looking this good
takes a lot of work at my age!

232
00:11:26,243 --> 00:11:28,803
Um… What's "zumba", Mrs. Bird?

233
00:11:29,243 --> 00:11:32,163
Hmm. What's best way to describe it?

234
00:11:32,323 --> 00:11:34,163
[funky music]

235
00:11:39,963 --> 00:11:42,603
It's a spot of light exercise.

236
00:11:43,123 --> 00:11:46,643
That leaves you and me, Paddington.
Let's build a sofa fort!

237
00:11:46,723 --> 00:11:48,083
What's a sofa fort?

238
00:11:48,163 --> 00:11:51,123
A hiding place for us
made out of cushions!

239
00:11:51,203 --> 00:11:54,203
You'll remember in letter 362, Aunt Lucy,

240
00:11:54,363 --> 00:11:58,203
that I explained to you how a sofa works.

241
00:11:58,283 --> 00:12:00,123
Marmalade… [slurps]

242
00:12:00,203 --> 00:12:02,603
Well, it turns out
they have other uses too!

243
00:12:03,043 --> 00:12:05,803
Sofa fort! Cushions off!

244
00:12:07,163 --> 00:12:09,203
Design! Let's go igloo!

245
00:12:09,363 --> 00:12:11,203
[wind blowing]

246
00:12:11,363 --> 00:12:12,923
No, tepee!

247
00:12:13,083 --> 00:12:14,963
[flute music]

248
00:12:15,363 --> 00:12:17,523
No, impenetrable fortress!

249
00:12:17,683 --> 00:12:18,843
[bugle call]

250
00:12:18,923 --> 00:12:20,203
Attack!

251
00:12:22,603 --> 00:12:25,643
Oh! I'm afraid you need to stop
playing sofa fort.

252
00:12:25,723 --> 00:12:28,043
Miss Potts is coming over
to give you your violin lesson.

253
00:12:28,203 --> 00:12:29,603
Oh!

254
00:12:29,683 --> 00:12:31,523
Oh, yeah. Great.

255
00:12:31,603 --> 00:12:34,043
Thanks, Mum. Just can't wait!

256
00:12:34,203 --> 00:12:36,803
Lovely. Miss Potts will be here soon.
See you later!

257
00:12:38,403 --> 00:12:39,723
[sighs]

258
00:12:43,083 --> 00:12:46,323
Judy, can I ask? What is a violin?

259
00:12:46,403 --> 00:12:49,563
It's a silly instrument
which I find boring!

260
00:12:49,723 --> 00:12:53,123
But you told Mrs. Brown that you were
looking forward to your lesson.

261
00:12:53,563 --> 00:12:57,523
-That was a little white lie.
-A little white lie?

262
00:12:57,683 --> 00:12:59,803
It's a very small lie that you tell

263
00:12:59,883 --> 00:13:02,283
when you don't want
to hurt someone's feelings.

264
00:13:02,363 --> 00:13:03,243
[doorbell rings]

265
00:13:03,403 --> 00:13:06,043
[ominous music]

266
00:13:06,523 --> 00:13:08,603
-I'll get it, shall I?
-Stop!

267
00:13:08,683 --> 00:13:12,203
We're not going to answer it.
We'll pretend no one is here!

268
00:13:12,283 --> 00:13:14,843
-But we are here.
-It's another little white lie.

269
00:13:14,923 --> 00:13:16,843
So we don't hurt Miss Potts' feelings.

270
00:13:16,923 --> 00:13:18,723
-[doorbell rings again]
-Hello?

271
00:13:18,803 --> 00:13:21,003
Judy, I'm not sure about this.

272
00:13:21,083 --> 00:13:22,883
Aunt Lucy says you should never lie.

273
00:13:23,043 --> 00:13:25,923
But this isn't a lie,
it's a little white lie.

274
00:13:26,283 --> 00:13:29,643
It still feels mean.
Miss Potts has come all this way.

275
00:13:29,723 --> 00:13:31,843
-Hello?
-Come on!

276
00:13:32,963 --> 00:13:37,603
Judy? Judy, are you in there?
Your mother has paid for your lesson!

277
00:13:38,963 --> 00:13:40,043
That should do it.

278
00:13:40,123 --> 00:13:42,403
Oh, this seems rather naughty.

279
00:13:42,483 --> 00:13:44,363
Ha! Now I know you're in there!

280
00:13:44,443 --> 00:13:46,963
Windows don't close by themselves,
you know.

281
00:13:47,043 --> 00:13:50,003
-What should we do?
-There's only one thing to do.

282
00:13:53,123 --> 00:13:55,323
Paddington, is that you?

283
00:13:56,683 --> 00:13:59,163
What on earth is going on, Paddington?

284
00:13:59,243 --> 00:14:02,963
I'm very sorry, Miss Potts,
but a little white lie got out of hand.

285
00:14:03,523 --> 00:14:06,123
Judy is ready for her violin lesson now.

286
00:14:07,003 --> 00:14:09,563
Uh… Judy?

287
00:14:09,643 --> 00:14:12,803
I'm a busy lady, you know.
There's no time to waste.

288
00:14:12,963 --> 00:14:14,123
Uh…

289
00:14:16,003 --> 00:14:18,963
Miss Potts, I would love
to take the lesson, please.

290
00:14:19,123 --> 00:14:22,963
I see. You are aware
I am teaching grade six violin?

291
00:14:23,043 --> 00:14:24,683
This is not a class for beginners.

292
00:14:25,403 --> 00:14:28,603
And because I didn't want
to hurt her feelings, Aunt Lucy,

293
00:14:28,683 --> 00:14:31,683
I told a little white lie of my own.

294
00:14:31,763 --> 00:14:34,603
Yes, in fact I am a grade…

295
00:14:36,403 --> 00:14:38,563
-100.
-100?

296
00:14:38,643 --> 00:14:40,643
But there are only eight grades!

297
00:14:40,803 --> 00:14:45,523
Miss Potts, in Peru,
we take the violin very seriously.

298
00:14:45,683 --> 00:14:49,323
Well, then, we better get started!
Please put up the stand.

299
00:14:49,403 --> 00:14:50,883
Of course! Right away.

300
00:14:50,963 --> 00:14:52,283
Ooh!

301
00:14:52,443 --> 00:14:54,523
[whimsical music]

302
00:14:58,323 --> 00:14:59,443
Ah!

303
00:14:59,603 --> 00:15:00,683
Oh!

304
00:15:03,163 --> 00:15:04,403
There!

305
00:15:10,123 --> 00:15:13,123
Now, if you will, Paddington,
please read this piece of music.

306
00:15:13,203 --> 00:15:17,003
Reading! Of course, Miss Potts.
I can definitely do that.

307
00:15:17,723 --> 00:15:18,683
-[breath]
-Huh?

308
00:15:19,403 --> 00:15:20,603
Shh!

309
00:15:21,723 --> 00:15:23,683
Come on, Paddington,
I haven't got all day.

310
00:15:23,763 --> 00:15:25,083
Um…

311
00:15:25,243 --> 00:15:26,963
Oh, my!

312
00:15:29,083 --> 00:15:35,403
We begin with five lines
with several different squiggles on them.

313
00:15:35,563 --> 00:15:37,883
-Paddington, do it properly!
-Of course.

314
00:15:38,043 --> 00:15:39,283
I'm so sorry.

315
00:15:39,363 --> 00:15:40,923
Ahem!

316
00:15:41,003 --> 00:15:44,523
"Squiggle, squiggle, squiggle, dot."

317
00:15:44,603 --> 00:15:47,563
"Double squiggle, dot,
squiggle, squiggle, squiggle."

318
00:15:47,723 --> 00:15:49,603
Stop being so silly!

319
00:15:50,523 --> 00:15:53,723
Paddington, here is your violin and bow.

320
00:15:53,803 --> 00:15:54,803
Wow!

321
00:15:55,883 --> 00:15:59,563
At that moment, Aunt Lucy,
I had to use my wits.

322
00:15:59,643 --> 00:16:02,123
But, sadly, my wits failed me.

323
00:16:02,203 --> 00:16:03,923
[horrible screech]

324
00:16:04,003 --> 00:16:05,043
No, no, no.

325
00:16:06,403 --> 00:16:10,683
-The other way around.
-Oh! Of course! Silly me.

326
00:16:12,883 --> 00:16:15,403
No, I meant the violin and bow.

327
00:16:16,083 --> 00:16:17,803
Correct. I was testing you.

328
00:16:18,963 --> 00:16:20,843
Oh, that's better. [gasps]

329
00:16:21,603 --> 00:16:22,963
Is someone in here?

330
00:16:23,043 --> 00:16:26,043
[suspenseful music]

331
00:16:29,443 --> 00:16:30,843
[gasps]

332
00:16:38,443 --> 00:16:40,083
[neighing]

333
00:16:50,683 --> 00:16:52,163
Oh!

334
00:16:52,803 --> 00:16:54,363
I don't mean to be rude,

335
00:16:54,523 --> 00:16:56,923
but there must be
something wrong with this violin.

336
00:16:57,083 --> 00:16:59,923
Paddington, in all my years
as a violin teacher,

337
00:17:00,003 --> 00:17:03,123
I have never witnessed
anything quite so strange.

338
00:17:04,162 --> 00:17:06,443
That is how you hold a violin.

339
00:17:07,122 --> 00:17:08,723
Grade 100!

340
00:17:09,162 --> 00:17:11,923
Of course, Miss Potts.
Obviously, I knew that all along

341
00:17:12,003 --> 00:17:13,843
and was just testing you.

342
00:17:13,923 --> 00:17:16,162
Now, to play…

343
00:17:18,803 --> 00:17:20,083
Ooh!

344
00:17:22,443 --> 00:17:24,003
[chuckles]

345
00:17:24,083 --> 00:17:26,723
[beautiful imaginary melody]

346
00:17:42,203 --> 00:17:44,123
[Miss Potts] Oh, Paddington…

347
00:17:45,123 --> 00:17:47,163
Paddington…

348
00:17:47,323 --> 00:17:52,403
Paddington! Please, please stop!

349
00:17:52,483 --> 00:17:56,923
Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Potts.
I think I got a little… carried away.

350
00:17:57,003 --> 00:18:00,403
[sighs]
I wish someone would carry me away.

351
00:18:00,483 --> 00:18:01,443
[door opens]

352
00:18:01,803 --> 00:18:03,563
Hello, Miss Potts.

353
00:18:03,643 --> 00:18:08,443
Paddington? Sorry, what's going on?
Where's Judy?

354
00:18:08,523 --> 00:18:11,043
And why is Paddington learning violin?

355
00:18:11,203 --> 00:18:13,883
Learning is a strong word, Mrs. Brown.

356
00:18:13,963 --> 00:18:16,043
Perhaps you should explain, Paddington.

357
00:18:16,123 --> 00:18:19,403
Right. Well, what happened was…

358
00:18:19,963 --> 00:18:21,563
At that very moment, Aunt Lucy,

359
00:18:21,643 --> 00:18:24,083
I tried my very best to tell a white lie.

360
00:18:24,163 --> 00:18:26,603
But I found it rather difficult.

361
00:18:27,123 --> 00:18:29,523
-There was a crocodile!
-A crocodile?

362
00:18:29,683 --> 00:18:34,603
Yes. And it asked Judy to… to…
go on holiday.

363
00:18:34,763 --> 00:18:37,643
A talking crocodile took Judy on holiday?

364
00:18:37,723 --> 00:18:43,163
Yes. To, uh… Whitstable… I believe and…

365
00:18:43,243 --> 00:18:46,283
Oh! I can't do this.

366
00:18:46,363 --> 00:18:49,243
Mum, I'm sorry.

367
00:18:49,323 --> 00:18:52,963
I hid from Miss Potts
and poor Paddington had to lie for me,

368
00:18:53,123 --> 00:18:56,363
because the truth is,
I don't like playing the violin.

369
00:18:56,443 --> 00:18:58,403
And I don't want any more lessons.

370
00:18:58,483 --> 00:19:01,883
-Darling, why didn't you tell me?
-Or me?

371
00:19:02,043 --> 00:19:04,203
I didn't want to hurt your feelings.

372
00:19:04,283 --> 00:19:08,563
So I told a little white lie
and pretended I liked violin.

373
00:19:08,723 --> 00:19:12,403
Oh, darling, you don't have
to play violin if you don't want to.

374
00:19:12,483 --> 00:19:16,323
I've just always thought it would be
such a wonderful instrument to learn.

375
00:19:16,403 --> 00:19:19,323
Which it is, when played properly.

376
00:19:19,483 --> 00:19:22,763
You see, when I was your age,
I dreamt of playing the violin,

377
00:19:22,843 --> 00:19:25,323
and I just wanted you to have
what I couldn't have.

378
00:19:25,403 --> 00:19:28,003
Oh, Mum, I am sorry.

379
00:19:28,083 --> 00:19:31,443
I really should have asked you first,
Judy. I'm sorry too.

380
00:19:32,843 --> 00:19:34,723
-Ah!
-Thanks.

381
00:19:34,803 --> 00:19:35,963
My pleasure.

382
00:19:36,523 --> 00:19:40,203
The truth is, I've always
rather fancied playing the drums.

383
00:19:40,283 --> 00:19:43,563
-Drums? Gosh!
-Oh, please, no.

384
00:19:43,643 --> 00:19:47,283
Shame we've got 20 violin lessons
booked that'll go to waste!

385
00:19:47,443 --> 00:19:49,403
Well, it's never too late
to learn, Mrs. Brown.

386
00:19:49,483 --> 00:19:51,923
And Miss Potts is such a good teacher.

387
00:19:58,923 --> 00:20:01,683
I'm sorry I was just a little
out of tune, Miss Potts.

388
00:20:01,843 --> 00:20:05,043
And I have no idea what I'm doing!

389
00:20:05,203 --> 00:20:09,483
It's a good thing you've already paid
for 20 lessons, Mrs. Brown,

390
00:20:09,563 --> 00:20:12,483
because you're going to need
at least 20 more.

391
00:20:14,763 --> 00:20:18,883
So, Aunt Lucy, I learnt today
that a little white lie,

392
00:20:19,043 --> 00:20:23,043
even if meant well,
is still a lie like any other.

393
00:20:23,723 --> 00:20:25,963
And although
I'm not a natural at the violin,

394
00:20:26,043 --> 00:20:28,123
it is a beautiful instrument.

395
00:20:28,203 --> 00:20:30,403
Love from Paddington.
