Mr Bean at the movies

Mr Bean and his girlfriend goes to the movie theater together and he buys her a small bucket of popcorn and takes one. The girl thinks he is funny so wants to take one from his bucket but he says “oh it’s mine” and makes her really unhappy. It’s a horror movie so Mr Bean is very scared. At first he cover his eyes with his hands. After that some friendly music comes and he makes some funny noise, then the red light comes and makes him scared again. But when he covered his eyes he can’t cover his ears so he can still hear the guns shooting and he is so frightening that he shaked his hands when he is holding the popcorn bucket and all of the popcorn come out. He comes up with an idea. He makes all of the popcorn out of this bucket and puts it on his head so that it can cover his ears and eyes at the same time.

Tv setup

Mr Bean came home with 2 boxes on the top of his car and they were strapped by ropes. He couldn’t get outside because the ropes has strapped the whole car so he climbed outside by his window wide open. He tried to make the light in the house bright but he hadn’t got any batteries so put a coin in the machine. Then he wants to set up the TV but he doesn’t know how to so at first he takes out the bottom of the cable and pushes it into the plug, and plugs the plug into the socket. The signal wasn’t good so he moves the aerial and at last he finds out that he can put it at the back of the television.
