Act 1: Bean goes to a public swimming pool where he uses a manual arm to get his ticket at the carpark and tries out the super-high diving board, and chickens out until two impatient boys push him off (by stamping on his hand as he attempts to climb down). Bean loses his swimming trunks, and is unable to retrieve them as a small kid fishes them out of the pool with a snorkel. Bean, naked, tries to get back to the changing room unseen and almost succeeds, but the lifeguard appears near the change room. He hides behind a corner, but a women's swimteam appears behind him. The members of the swimteam scream and go back to the changing room immediately.
Act 2: Bean finds he can't pay the ridiculously high parking price of £16.00 at the swimming pool car park, and tries to leave through the entrance by wheeling a refuse container in front of the entrance to trick the machine into issuing a ticket and opening the barrier. He succeeds and drives his car past the barrier and into the entrance lane. Just as he was moving the container back, a black Mercedes arrives and he is forced to reverse back into the car park. He eventually escapes by waiting for another car to enter the car park and lift the barrier, and then driving full speed at the entrance lane, driving out of it and knocking the other car out of the way. The victim turns out to be the Reliant and, once again, it topples over.
Act 3: Bean goes to the park to have a lunch break, and makes himself a sandwich in a really ridiculous way, using ingredients and tools he has stashed with him in his coat. He cuts the bread with scissors, spreads the butter with his credit card (his "flexible friend"), washes the lettuce in a drinking water fountain and uses his sock to dry it, pretends to kill two dead anchovies, and crushes the peppercorns with his shoe. He even makes tea in a hot water bottle, using his mouth to transfer milk from a baby bottle to the hot water bottle. Eventually, however, the pepper makes him sneeze and he drops the sandwich. The man next to him (Angus Deayton) offers Bean half of his own pre-packed sandwich, which Bean gratefully accepts.
Act 4: In this brief act, when Bean approaches a left turn at an intersection, he has to stop at a red light. He then sees a cyclist, also doing a left turn through the intersection, dismounting from his bike and pushing it over the control line of the still-red traffic lights. Bean gets out of his car and pushes it across the intersection too, just like the cyclist did. (This scene was filmed in Feltham, about a mile down the road from where Act 2 was filmed.)
Act 5: Bean goes to see A Nightmare on Elm Street with his girlfriend. He buys himself a giant popcorn tub, and her a small one, even stealing from hers but slapping her hand when she tries to do the same. Before the film, he teases her and scares her, spills popcorn and interrupts the other people there. He then gets scared witless himself by the actual feature and tries to avoid watching it by any means necessary (including pulling his sweater over his head—causing a huge shriek from his girlfriend when his head has apparently disappeared—and using popcorn as earplugs). After the film, as the two of them leave, his girlfriend puts her coat over her body and Bean shakes one of her coat's sleeves, under the impression that her hands have been amputated, making them both jump.
