Editing Mr. Bean (section)

===The Return of Mr. Bean===

====Act One: The Busker====
Mr. Bean sees a busker playing a saxophone and wants to drop some change in his case, believing that giving him money will grant him access to the tunnel. When Bean realizes he has no change (and avoids using his paper bill), he places his handkerchief on the ground and starts dancing foolishly to the saxophone music. An elderly woman stops by and leaves Bean a coin, which he then drops into the saxophonist's case before continuing into the tunnel.

====Act Two: Shopping====
Mr. Bean tries out his new American Express charge card at Allders department store. After nearly suffocating in the perfume department, he begins his shopping by testing everything he wants to buy. Bean opens and uses a toothbrush (then returns it, pretending he didn't use it), tries on a selected bath towel, peels a potato with a peeler he intends to buy, and pulls a large fish out of his pocket to see if it fits on a frying pan he chose. He also takes the telephone from the receptionist's desk, assuming it’s the only working phone since it gave a dialing tone; he believes the other phones (disconnected display models) are broken.

At the register, Bean places his card on the counter. Another man's identical card gets covered under the grocery bag, leading him to take Bean's card by mistake. Instead of speaking up, Bean quietly pickpockets the man to retrieve his card, but his hand gets stuck in the man's wallet. The man unwittingly pulls Bean all the way into a toilet stall. Inside the stall, Bean uncomfortably watches as the man sits on the toilet. He eventually frees his hand, offers the man a roll of toilet paper, and shocks him as a form of comeuppance for dragging him into the restroom.

====Act Three: The Restaurant====
Mr. Bean goes to a restaurant to celebrate his birthday. He surprises himself by gifting and then opening a birthday card, which he proudly shows off, endeared by his own message. He orders steak tartare, expecting a regular steak. A waiter offers him the house wine, which Mr. Bean swiftly drinks while smiling at the waiter. When the waiter offers more, Bean declines, mentioning he might end up drunk driving. He then shows off the napkin brought by the waiter, but loses it when it flies to a neighboring table, pretending it's not his.

When the steak tartare arrives, Bean is disgusted by its taste and appearance, assuming it’s undercooked. He cuts it up and hides pieces in various places: an ashtray, a tiny vase, a hollowed-out roll, under a plate, a sugar basin, and even the violinist's trousers and a woman's handbag. The violinist insists he takes a bite, but Bean spits it into the violinist's trousers when he turns away. Conveniently, a waiter trips over Mr. Bean's leg while he is hiding the tartare in the handbag, spilling his tray onto Bean's table. This gives Bean an opportunity to show the waiter and the maitre d' the mess, revealing the hidden tartare.

The maitre d' apologizes and moves Mr. Bean to another table, offering a free dish. Unfortunately for Mr. Bean, it’s another, seemingly larger, steak tartare. Appalled but watched closely by the maitre d', the waiter, and the violinist, Bean is forced to eat it.

====Act Four: The Queen====
Mr. Bean eagerly awaits to meet Queen Elizabeth II at a royal premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square cinema, but finds himself quite unprepared. His nails and teeth are dirty, his breath smells, and his shoes are unpolished. Determined to rectify these issues, he improvises solutions: he uses spit to polish his shoes, folds back the corners of a postcard as a makeshift handkerchief, and employs a loose thread from a waitress's uniform to floss his teeth.

However, his attempt to clean his fingernail with his trouser's zip goes awry when the zip gets stuck. After struggling, he manages to force it back up just moments before the Queen greets him. As he prepares to bow, Mr. Bean accidentally headbutts the Queen, knocking her to the floor. Amidst the ensuing confusion, the episode ends with Mr. Bean making a hasty exit, running away from the scene.
