Act 1
Bean goes to the launderette where he suffers a series of mishaps. First, he realises the price of washing has increased from ₤2 to ₤3, so he is forced to pull out a spare coin from a specially designed envelope in his trousers. A man (Grant Masters) arrives and pushes Bean away into the next washing machine. Bean then proceeds to place his laundry (which consists of some shirts, an inflatable toy, a lampshade, Teddy, a welcome mat, oversized fuzzy dice and a few pairs of underpants) into the washing machine.
However, Bean then realises he is wearing underwear he wanted to wash, so he stands behind a partition to change out of them, accidentally getting his trousers mixed up with a lady's skirt. As Bean walks past the man, this escalates the taunting he receives from the bully. Bean then finds that another pair of underwear has accidentally not been put into the machine, but by this time the machine has already been started, so he simply tries to put them on, but the bully interferes by stepping on them for his amusement.
So Bean decides to take his revenge on the man by switching the man's liquid detergent with a cup of black coffee from the vending machine. This finally works, as the man does not realise he is pouring the coffee into the machine instead of his detergent. Bean appears to drink the detergent so that the man will not suspect him for switching the cup. Later, the man blames the launderette shop owner as his martial arts gear emerges severely stained from the wash.
After retrieving his mutated washing (including a shrunken Teddy) from the clothes dryer, Bean needs to retrieve his trousers from the lady's washing. He resorts to climbing into a dryer to find them, just as the lady returns and closes it (and starts it), with Bean still inside, and it then starts spinning.
