Editing Mr. Bean (section)

====Act One: The Laundromat====
Mr. Bean sets off for the laundromat to wash his laundry. He struggles to squeeze through the door with his overflowing bin bag of clothes. Spotting an available washing machine, he prepares £2 in coins, only to be surprised by a sign announcing that the price has been raised to £3. Frantically searching through his clothes for loose change, he finds a 20p coin in his jacket pocket, but it's not enough. Desperately, he retrieves a pound coin from a small paper envelope hidden in his trousers.

As Mr. Bean contemplates his predicament, a burly man enters and rudely shoves him aside to claim the next washing machine. This man confidently places his nun chucks inside and nudges Mr. Bean's coins into the adjacent machine, commandeering it. Dressed in a karate uniform with a black belt, symbolizing his martial arts expertise, he pours in detergent powder. Unfazed, Mr. Bean improvises with bathing soap and a grater on his own machine.

Opening his laundry bag, Mr. Bean unpacks his bed sheets, an inflated seahorse floatie (which he deflates by stepping on it), two fuzzy dice from his car, a welcome mat, a lampshade, and Teddy. He cautiously places Teddy inside the machine, but Teddy gets scared and tries to escape. Mr. Bean quickly devises a solution, using an L-shaped drinking straw to suggest that Teddy can breathe underwater, which calms Teddy down and convinces him to stay put.

He retrieves his weekly underpants, missing only Wednesday and Sunday pairs. Faced with the necessity of changing into a timed outfit, he removes his underwear. While heading to the closet to change his trousers, he inadvertently startles a lady, prompting him to quickly turn away. Placing his trousers on the woman's pile of clothes, he mistakenly picks up her skirt instead of his Wednesday underpants. After zipping up, he returns to the washing machine to deposit his Wednesday underpants, having paid £3 for the wash. Sitting down, he belatedly realizes he's wearing the lady's skirt.

Meanwhile, the tough man orders fabric conditioner and notices Mr. Bean conspicuously wearing a skirt. Amused, he teases Mr. Bean with a wink, which makes him nervous. Retrieving his laundry bag, Mr. Bean discovers his Sunday underpants left behind. Unable to open the operating washing machine, he discreetly attempts to wear them under the skirt. The man steps on his underpants, causing Mr. Bean to struggle to evade further embarrassment. The man releases them, causing Mr. Bean to stumble towards the bins. The man smirks and gives him a thumbs-up with a mischievous smile.

Mr. Bean plots his revenge by purchasing a cup of black coffee from the vending machine. Stealthily, he approaches the tough man's washing machine and swaps the fabric softener with coffee in an identical cup. Sitting down, he absentmindedly scratches his knee. When the washing machine chime sounds, the man rises and bends down to check his skirt, unwittingly pouring the black coffee into the detergent inlet. Mr. Bean smirks with satisfaction as he watches the man's laundry process go awry. Discovering his karate uniform stained brown, the man sniffs the empty cup, realizes it contained coffee, and glares at Mr. Bean. To cover his tracks, Mr. Bean blows on the fabric softener and pretends to drink it like coffee. The man storms off in anger, and Mr. Bean feels queasy.

Later, the man confronts the manager in an off-screen argument. Meanwhile, Mr. Bean, still avoiding trouble, transfers his laundry items to the drying machine. He retrieves his lampshade, now missing fabric trim, a floor mat with its welcome text smudged and spots transferred from the fuzzy dice, and Teddy, noticeably shrunk. He attempts to hide as the lady returns to use the dryer for her clothes, all while still wearing her skirt. She checks her watch just before removing her dried clothes and heads back to the now buzzing washing machine.

Mr. Bean searches through her basket for his trousers and even inside her dryer. As he crawls inside, the lady discovers an unfamiliar item among her clothes—Mr. Bean's trousers—and sets them aside. Unaware of Mr. Bean inside, she loads all her washed clothes into the dryer and shuts the door, inadvertently trapping him inside. Mr. Bean frantically knocks on the glass door, trying to stop the machine, but the lady, engrossed in her music through headphones, ignores him and starts the dryer, causing Mr. Bean to spin around inside.
