He tries to cheer the boy up by various means, by sticking magazine bits on his face to amuse him, playing with a self-inflating life jacket (it later flies out of Bean's seat) and by blowing air into a paper bag and trying to pop it. He realised that the bag had holes in it, so he starts searching for another empty bag. While his back is turned, the boy vomits into a sick bag and offers the bag to Bean, who takes it unaware and pops the bag between his hands.
