　　Jack: Here I am, mom. What’s up?

　　Mom: Send that old cow to the market to exchange some money back.

　　Mom: Shut up. Do as I said.

　　Jack: (sign) All right, all right.

　　Act 1 Scene 2

　　(In the market.)

　　Girl: Sir, do you want any matches? If you buy ten boxes, I’ll give a 40 percent discount.

　　Jack: Sounds terrific. But I don’t have any money.

　　Girl: Please, sir, I haven’t eaten anything for three days. I’d like to exchange your cow with my matches.

　　Jack: Sorry, but I don’t need matches. Good-bye, and good luck to you.

　　Old man: Sir, since the sun is burning, would you like some ice cream?

　　Jack: Thank you, but I don’t really feel like eating ice cream. See you.

　　Mr. Bean: I have soybeans, mung beans, green beans, broad beans, green soybeans, peas, and above all, the most amazing beans in the world --- magic beans.

　　Jack: Wow, sounds wonderful. Beans is my favorite food, I can’t wait to have a bowl of bean soup. I want to buy all the beans with this cow.

　　Mr. Bean: This cow? What do I need this old skinny cow for? Go away, don’t bother me, kid.

　　Jack: Sir, please. My mom always told me “Helping someone in need is a honorable deed.”

　　Mr. Bean: All right, all right. (Sign) Today isn’t my day.
