At his flat, Bean packs for a holiday but his small briefcase does not have enough space for his clothes, as well as some cans of baked beans. He reduces the size of his belongings (often using scissors) to fit them into the case by cutting a pair of trousers (before realising he already has a pair of shorts), breaking his toothbrush, pouring some toothpaste down the sink, and he takes just one sandal and uses a flannel for a towel. He does not have the heart to cut up Teddy.
