Dear Aunt Lucy,
today, I learned that you can have a best friend.
It all started this morning.
I was at my first ever raffle.
Judy, what exactly is a raffle?
Well, Sofia will pull out a ticket from the drum,
and whoever has the ticket wins a prize.
Oh, how exciting!
I hope the prize is a scooter.
-Or a flying scooter. -Oh, that would be so cool.
Or a marmalade sandwich!
Or, even better, two marmalade sandwiches.
-[laughter] -[sing-song announcement]
And the winner is…
-Please be me. Please be me. -Flying scooter.
Marmalade sandwich.
Oh, that's a receipt.
Number 567.
Um… Oh!
[Judy] Paddington, that's your ticket!
Oh, no, Judy.
-My ticket's right here in my paw. -You're the winner.
See? You have the matching ticket!
Well, I never!
Everyone! Paddington's won!
-[cheering] -Well done, Paddington.
Wonderful!
You have won a free meal
for two people
here at my café,
tonight!
First of all, I'd like to thank the Brown family for taking me in
when I --
Paddington, you don't need to make a speech.
Oh! If you say so. Thank you very much, Sofia!
A meal for two? Who are you going to take with you?
Hmm. I don't know.
Who would you take?
Well, I'd take my best friend, Mateo.
-No offence, Jonathan. -Don't worry.
I'd rather go with my best friend.
-Who's that? -Bally!
Yeah! Woohoo!
I've never had a best friend, so I wouldn't know who to take.
Well, the meal's tonight, so you have to choose one quickly.
You're right. I do need to find a best friend.
And fast.
Uh, how do you know when someone is your best friend?
I guess when you enjoy their company best of all.
Oh! Thank you, Judy!
[cheerful music]
-I might go this way, actually. -Okay, Paddington.
With Judy's advice in mind, I set about trying to find my best friend.
-[rustling of feathers] -Huh? Oh!
Hello, Pigeonton!
[cooing]
Oh! Um… Pigeonton, do you have a best friend?
-[cooing] -Me neither.
I don't suppose we could be best friends, Pigeonton?
[cooing]
Shall we find out?
[cheerful music]
[chuckles]
[cooing]
Ahem!
[cooing]
Hmm?
Whoa!
I'm okay!
[zen music]
Oh, my!
[soft music]
Wow!
Woohoo!
So, Aunt Lucy,
I was pretty certain Pigeonton was my best friend until…
I found myself at Mr. Gruber's shop,
playing a game called chess.
[inquisitive music]
Hmm.
Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.
Hmm.
[sighs]
-Hmm. -Hmm.
[chuckles]
Oh!
Aha! The knight gallops to the end of the board.
[laughter and neighing]
[epic music]
Oh!
-[trumpet] -Oh, no!
[pretended female voice] This is a disgrace!
It's the Queen!
Run!
-They're gaining on us! -[Mr. Gruber laughs]
[Mr. Gruber] No!
Whoa!
Aha! We've lost them!
Run!
Quick!
Whoa!
-Hurray! -Whee!
[neighing]
[laughter]
I had the most fun, Aunt Lucy.
And, by the end of it, I was certain I had two best friends,
Pigeonton and Mr. Gruber.
But who was I going to take to dinner?
And what if I had even more best friends I didn't yet know about?
Let me get this straight.
You think you and I might be best friends?
Quite possibly, Mr. Curry.
Don't get me wrong, I've grown to… put up with you.
[gasps] Thank you!
But I don't think we are best friends.
Good day.
That's a shame. I was going to take my best friend out for a free dinner.
Paddington! My best friend!
Please, come on in!
Ooh! Make yourself at home!
Oh, thank you.
So… wanna do some "cool friend" stuff?
Oh, yes. Why not?
You seem very… happy,
Mr. Curry.
Ha! Yes!
Oh, how rude of me!
Is there anything I can offer you?
Well, I wouldn't mind a snack, please.
-Jam sandwiches, right? -Uh… marmalade.
Coming right up!
[groans]
[playful music]
Free dinner to save me cooking tonight would be lovely!
There!
[munching]
How is it?
[clears throat] It's nice.
You can… really taste the bread.
Although Mr. Curry doesn't make the best sandwiches,
he is most certainly a best friend.
With dinner fast approaching,
I decided to try my best
not to make any more best friends,
so I wouldn't be letting anyone down.
-Ooh! -[panting]
Hello, Lucky! I'd love to play, but--
Woof, woof!
-[whimpers] -[sad music]
Okay,
we'll play fetch. But just the once.
-[joyful music] -[barking]
[Paddington] Three hundred and sixty-four…
Three hundred and sixty-five.
So, Aunt Lucy, Lucky became my best friend too,
and he wasn't the last.
Now I come to think of it, during my time in Windsor Gardens…
I've made a lot of best friends.
[cheerful music]
Goal!
[sirens]
[cheering]
Now I had so many best friends,
it was time for me to make a decision.
Who was I going to take to Sofia's café for dinner?
I couldn't help thinking that, maybe, I should cancel the whole thing.
Does anybody know why we're all here?
-No. -Me neither.
Well, all I know is Paddington told me to be here
for something very important.
[rustling]
Ahem!
Welcome, everybody. You're probably wondering why you are here.
-Yes! -Yes, I am wondering.
Well, I needed to find a best friend to take to dinner.
But it turns out
I don't have a best friend.
-[gasp] -Oh!
Because…
all of you are my best friends.
-Aw! -What?
I'm supposed to decide which one of you will come to dinner with me.
Hee, hee, hee, hee!
And the answer is…
[suspenseful music]
[cooing]
Everyone!
[cheering]
So, Aunt Lucy, dinner for two turned into dinner for everyone.
And we even had marmalade pizza for dessert.
You see, all my friends are my best friends.
Love from Paddington.
Dear Aunt Lucy,
this week, I had to help a friend find a new home.
It all began when I went to visit Mr. Gruber.
[soft music]
-Good morning, Mr. Gruber. -Good morning, Paddington.
Oh, I didn't know lampposts needed watering.
-Will that make it grow bigger? -[chuckles]
[Hungarian accent] You are a rare sort of bear.
I'm not watering the lamppost.
I'm watering the hanging basket of flowers.
How wonderful.
Having these beautiful flowers outside my shop really cheers me up.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't know you were in there.
[Paddington] Pigeonton!
How are you?
What are you doing up there?
Oh, there's a nest!
I think your friend Pigeonton's been living here.
What an odd place for a home.
Hmm. Not necessarily.
Pigeons can live in many different places.
And a hanging basket does make a very pretty nest.
-[taping] -Huh?
I'm afraid your pigeon friend will have to look for a new home.
This lamppost is going to be removed tomorrow.
[gasps] Oh, no! Why?
The council are replacing them with modern ones
without hanging baskets.
I tried to fight the decision, but there was nothing I could do.
I'm very sorry.
Hmm.
Ah! Well, we can just move the basket somewhere else.
I think it's attached.
I'm sure I can…
[straining]
One minute!
Yes, I'm pretty sure it's attached.
[cooing]
But if the lamppost is removed, where will Pigeonton live?
Wait! What about inside your shop, Mr. Gruber?
What a good idea!
[fluttering feathers]
What a bad idea!
This probably isn't the best place for a pigeon to live.
[lively music]
Come on, Pigeonton!
I'll find you a new home before the lamppost comes down tomorrow.
Goodbye, Mr. Gruber!
[sigh of relief] Thank goodness!
[gasps]
You could live on a boat.
I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier.
I know it seems odd, but lots of people live on houseboats.
[cooing]
The great thing about living on a boat is your house can move
whenever you want it to.
As long as there's water, of course.
You just have to sail it away.
And you know who else lives on boats?
-Pirates! -[rhythmic music]
You could be Pigeonton the Pirate.
[cooing]
Calm seas, Captain Pigeonton.
Wait. Pirates right ahead!
Quick! They're gaining on us!
[whistling]
-[Paddington] Aha! -Huh?
Ah! Paddington!
No!
Sorry, Mr. Curry. I think I got a little carried away.
[groans]
Finding Pigeonton a new home was becoming a real emergency.
Then I remembered someone I could always contact in an emergency.
So, if Pigeonton doesn't find a new home, I don't know what will happen.
Do you have any ideas where he could stay?
Well, I'm sure we can find somewhere.
Oh! [chuckles]
He looks quite at home.
[Paddington] Perhaps he could stay there.
[pop music starts on radio]
No! You mustn't play with the controls!
[sirens]
Oh, dear! Pigeonton!
I don't think this is going to work out!
I can't hear you!
I don't think this is going to work out!
-That's what I said! -Pardon?
I said, "This isn't going to work out!"
That's what I said!
-[sudden silence] -Oh, sorry.
This isn't going to work out.
[Miss Potts] Of course, Paddington.
Pigeonton is more than welcome to stay here.
Oh, thank you, Miss Potts.
I'm sure he'll be right at home.
-[cooing] -[Paddington] Ah!
I think he likes it.
Finally, it's all worked out.
I was beginning to worry we'd never find him a new home.
I hope Pigeonton doesn't mind a bit of music.
I've got a recital coming up and I need to practise.
Oh, no. I'm sure that will be fine.
What instrument is it? Violin?
No.
Drums.
Oh!
It is very noisy, isn't it?
Uh, sorry, Miss Potts.
How long will you be practising for?
Oh, not long.
But a lot of people have booked this space today.
So it's going to be very busy.

[rock music playing]
Oh! Phew!
Oh, hello, Miss Potts.
You're not going to practise the drums again, are you?
No. I'm practising for my upcoming dance performance.
It's got lasers!
[techno music playing]
[birdsong]
Oh! It's perfect!
It's a house, it's outside,
there's plenty of room.
[cooing]
[soft music]
-Hi, Paddington. -Hi, Pigeonton.
What are you doing here?
The lamppost Pigeonton has been living in
is being taken away tomorrow, so I'm trying to find him a new home.
I thought maybe he could stay here.
Okay, as long as he doesn't get in the way of our school projects.
Won't even know he's here.
[soft music continues]
Pigeonton seems very interested in your project, Jonathan.
-What is it? -It's the solar system.
[cooing]
Oh, dear! Maybe if I just…
[lively music]
Oh, no!
Ooh! Whoa!
Oh… I think we should be going.
Come on, Pigeonton.
We'll find you somewhere-- [screaming]
I'm okay!
[sighs] I don't know what we're going to do, Pigeonton.
We've still not found you a new home.
[cooing]
[sighs] If we don't find you one by tomorrow,
then you might have to move far away.
And I'd like you to live near me.
Wait a minute. That's it!
You can live with me!
I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.
[soft music]
Night-night, Pigeonton.
I thought I'd finally found the perfect new home
for Pigeonton.
-[snoring] -[alarm]
Morning, Pigeonton!
Pigeonton?
[inquisitive music]
He was gone!
But I had a good idea where.
I found Pigeonton somewhere new to live,
but I suppose this is the only place that feels like home to him.
Are you sure there's no way the lamppost can stay, Miss Potts?
Oh, I tried, but the council have said it's final.
-Their workman's already here. -[honking]
Poor Pigeonton!
-I'd better get him down. -[car door closing]
I'm sorry, Pigeonton, but I'm sure we'll find somewhere else
as nice and pretty as your basket.
-[cooing] -[melancholic music]
Oh, what's that?
Hmm.
Oh, my!
That's a very rare marking.
That means Pigeonton
is a very rare breed of blue-spotted pigeon.
This changes everything!
-Huh? -[cooing]
Miss Potts, there's been a mistake.
No, Paddington. The lamppost certainly can't come down now.
Pigeonton's nest is a rare-bird habitat.
-Stop the work! -It's okay. We haven't started yet.
Stop it now!
Hurray!
You're allowed to stay here, Pigeonton!
[cooing]
[soft music]
I was so pleased to see Pigeonton stay in his home, Aunt Lucy.
Because when you have a home you love,
it wouldn't be fair to have to live anywhere else.
And now Pigeonton's a very rare sort of pigeon
and I'm a very rare sort of bear,
we've got even more in common.
Love from Paddington.
