Paddington and the Cumquat Marmalade Shortage
Chink! Thump! THUD! Rumble... rumble... rumble..
PADDINGTON: "Oh! Excuse me!"
DADDY: "Goodness what is all that noise?"
PADDINGTON: "Don't worry, Daddy! It's just me." *Raises hat.*
DADDY: "Oh! Paddington!"
PADDINGTON: "I just bumped into the bowl of oranges and I think I scared it, because all the oranges rolled away. I hope I didn't cause it any offence."
DADDY: "I'm sure you didn't, Paddington darling. But what are you doing here? I thought you had gone to Mummy Marian's (Marian Kloon (on and off)) for breakfast using the magic portal."
PADDINGTON: "Oh I did, Daddy! Mummy Marian made me a stack of marmalade sandwiches. They were delicious!" *Licks lips.*
DADDY: "Oh I'm sure they were, Paddington darling. Mummy Marian makes lovely sandwiches."
PADDINGTON: "It's just that..."
DADDY: "What, Paddington darling?"
PADDINGTON: "Well it's just that I find your cumquat marmalade is much sweeter than Mummy Marian's orange marmalade."
DADDY: "Sweeter? I would have thought it was more bitter. Then again, perhaps bears' taste buds are different to people."
PADDINGTON: "Be that as it may, I've come back to enjoy some more delicious cumquat marmalade, Daddy."
DADDY: "But you've had breakfast already, Paddington darling!"
PADDINGTON: "Well, if a bear can have two birthdays, which I do, I don't see why I can't also have two breakfasts, Daddy. So I'll just settle down and you can bring me another jar of delicious sweet cumquat marmalade. Grumbly tummy, Daddy! Grumbly tummy!" *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
DADDY: "Well, I'd love to Paddington darling, except..."
PADDINGTON: "Except Daddy?"
DADDY: "Well I don't have any cumquat jam, I'm afraid, Paddington."
PADDINGTON: "What, Daddy? No cumquat jam?"
DADDY: "No Paddington darling. You have eaten it all!"
PADDINGTON: "Daddy! I would never have done that!" *Offended.* "It must have been some other bear with a penchant for cumquat marmalade!"
DADDY: "Well, whether it was you or some other bear, there is no cumquat marmalade left."
PADDINGTON: "But I have a grumbly tummy, Daddy! Grumbly tummy, Daddy! Grumbly tummy!" *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
DADDY: "Well, I was just about to cut up some oranges and make some orange marmalade."
PADDINGTON: "What is this, Daddy?"
DADDY: *Reluctantly.* "It's my last jar of ruby grapefruit marmalade, Paddington darling."
PADDINGTON: "Well, I'll just take this for now until your orange marmalade is ready to eat."
DADDY: "But Paddington darling..."
PADDINGTON: "Needs must, Daddy! Grumbly tummy, Daddy! Grumbly tummy!" *Rubs tummy vigorously.*
An exceptionally charming and true to character recreation of Paddington, who is cherished around the world for his kind nature….and fondness of marmalade sandwiches! Entirely British-made, this Paddington Bear has been designed to bring a lifetime of joy and companionship, and is the ultimate memento of the Paddington movie franchise.
Beautifully hand-crafted in Merrythought’s historic Ironbridge factory, Paddington combines the finest natural materials with four generations of the very best British teddy bear making expertise. His intricate design and friendly expression accurately and beautifully capture the personality of the movie character. He is made of rich-mahogany woven mohair plush and soft wool felt. Paddington is dressed in a gold-trim pure wool felt hat, along with a replica of his iconic duffle coat, featuring wooden toggle detailing. He is finished with an endearing hand-stitched smile and accompanied by Paddington’s famous ‘Please look after this bear. Thank you.’ luggage tag and ‘Wanted On Voyage’ leather suitcase.
Created by Merrythought as a Special Edition before the release of Paddington 3 - Paddington in Peru in cinemas on November the 8th, Paddington - the Movie Edition is individually numbered as part of a limited worldwide release. I am fortunate enough to have number 18.
