How about, “They Call Me MISTER Bean” featuring Rowan Atkinson?

Working title of the film = Gone With the Bean?
Maybe “Went with the Bean” and carol could come down the stoops wearing a wife beater and tool belt and punch darlene in the face.
where’s carol burnett when you need her?
btw, tomorrow all starbucks are offering free coffee if you bring in your mug. im not endorsing starbucks or anything, just throwing it out there for anyone who wants a free coffee.

I heard the owners apologized to the staff, but it was too little, too latte.
