The bus stop

In this episode, Mr. Bean leaves his apartment to run an errand and tries unsuccessfully to start his car. Battery problem. He goes to the bus stop where he finds another man suffering from a heart problem. (Unlucky!)

At first, Mr. Bean tries to leave, but quickly returns, panicked by the scene. Not wanting to perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the man, he grabs a leaflet and blows into it to give him air! (Brave!)

Bean then asked a neighbor to lend him some charging cables. He plugged them into the lamppost and performed CPR using them. Against all odds, the method worked! The man got up and regained consciousness. (First responder)

This situation didn't last, because when the man went to shake Mr. Bean's hand to thank him, he received another electric shock from the cables that Bean hadn't put back. (Distracted)

As the ambulance arrives to attend to the unconscious man, Mr. Bean recharges his car using the ambulance's battery, which then also dies. (Disrespectful)

The suitcase

On the road, Mr. Bean accidentally swallows a stamp when he suddenly sees a mailbox. He then retrieves a stamp from a letter a woman wanted to mail. Trying to escape her, Bean hides in the mailbox where he is bothered by a dog that tugs at his tie. (Disrespectful)

Back at the apartment, Mr. Bean packs his suitcase for his holiday, but he can't take everything because it's too small. He has to make some choices. He chooses one shirt instead of five, only one pair of underwear, breaks his toothbrush, uses three-quarters of his toothpaste, and cuts his trousers into shorts! (Clever!)

He even hesitates to cut off Teddy's head. He finally notices a larger trunk under his bed! Annoyed by the situation, Mr. Bean finds a solution: he puts the small suitcase inside the large one! (Distracted)

Travel

Mr. Bean finds himself in a train compartment with a man in his fifties. The man bursts into loud laughter while reading his book. (Disturbed)

Mr. Bean tries to escape the noise by putting on his tie, then his socks, and finally a piece of old chewing gum in his ears. Finally rid of his neighbor's laughter, Mr. Bean doesn't hear the ticket inspector asking for his ticket. He approaches him, causing surprise, and instinctively throws his book out the window. (Clever)

Mr. Bean is now on a plane. A flight attendant asks if he can look after a young boy who seems ill. He does his best to entertain him. He blows on a small bag to pop it, but it doesn't have the desired effect. (He's doing a good deed)

The plane encountered some turbulence, and the young man began vomiting into a larger bag. He offered it to Bean, who then popped it open. We won't see the consequences of this act! (Childlike)
