Gameplay[edit | edit source]
A Cable car will drop off a Bean Person on the stage, and the player has to write where the character is from, or the characters name.

- Mat: Yeah well maybe you shouldn't!
- Heather: I'm the popular one!
- Mat: Is that the best you can do?
- Heather: I can do better... just keep going.
- Mat: Are we really going to sit here and argue?
- Heather: Well we haven't got any legs so what else are we going to do?
- Mat: We could at least not do it in front of the gamers.
- Heather: When else are we going to do it...
- Mat: ...When the game is closed...
- Heather: ...Do we even exist?
- Mat: Maybe we should keep on talking so they don't close us down.
- Heather: ...But I have run out of things to say.
- Mat: Oh great now you finally shut up... Typical!
- Heather: ...
- Mat: ...
- Heather: Please don't close us!

- Mat: Why not Mat?
- Heather: Look what he did with my hair!
- Mat: Whats wrong with it?
- Heather: Whats right with it?
- Mat: There's not a pixel out of place!
- Heather: How can you tell? There are so few pixels!
- Mat: Yeah I don't get it - why didn't he draw us bigger?
- Heather: He sure is Lazy.
