  • (Peter MacNicol) "-- I see"
  • (Peter MacNicol) "Come on, everybody, it's gonna be great. Dr. Bean is a genius of the very highest order."
  • (Peter MacNicol) "Well sir, an unorthodox start; but I never expected things with a man of your calibre to be normal. I must confess I've never actually read any of your work. Tell me doctor, what exactly is your position at the gallery?"
  • (Rowan Atkinson) "I sit in the corner -- and look at the paintings."

Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean

  • (Rowan Atkinson) "Brace yourself."
  • (Rowan Atkinson) "Hello, I'm Dr. Bean. Apparently. And my job is to sit and look at paintings. So, what have I learned that I can say about this painting? Well, firstly, it's quite big, which is excellent. If it were very small, microscopic, then hardly anyone would be able to see it. Which would be a shame. Secondly, and I'm getting quite near the end of this -- analysis, secondly, why was it worth this man spending fifty million of your American dollars? And the answer to that is, that it's a picture of Whistler's mother. And as I've learned, staying with my best friend David Langley and his family, families are very important. Even though Mr. Whistler was obviously aware that his mother was a hideous old bat who looked like she'd had a cactus lodged up her backside, he stuck with her, and even took the time to paint this amazing picture of her. And that's marvellous. It's not just a painting. It's a picture of a mad old cow who he thought the world of. Well that's what I think."

  • (Sandra Oh) "Yes."
  • (Peter MacNicol) "I've got nothing against Jon Bon Jovi. The man has had two great hairstyles in the last ten years, which is an achievement not to be sniffed at. But so far as I know, Mr Jovi knows absolutely nothing about 19th-century Impressionism."

Tricia Vessey as Jennifer Langley
