Mr. Beanwell: Mary Beth, are you sure they’re not late? I invited everyone I remembered from the past four years.

Mary Beth: Don’t worry. Everything will go okay as long as no kids come.

Mr. Beanwell: Well, I didn’t invite any. I’m sure it will go fine. Ooh, look, here comes Ms. Janie!

Ms. Janie: Hello, Mr. Beanwell and Mrs. Sobolewski! How are you guys doing?
Mr. Beanwell: Oh, I’m good. Care for a drink?
Ms. Janie: No, thank you. I have to do my nails. I’ll be back.

Mary Beth: So, how long have you kept underground?

Mr. Beanwell: Not long. I’ve been doing a few things for Michael’s Beantown but then they closed down…

Ms. Janie: Okay, I’m back.

Mr. Beanwell: That was pretty quick.

Ms. Janie: I know. They’re cheap manicure machines. Anyway, have you seen all the new collectibles they have to offer? I just love writing about them. I mean, not just Beanie Babies, but also things that aren’t as valuable and some things people just don’t really care about no more. If only people liked me more…

Mary Beth: People do like you. Your website is better than Ty’s. And your magazine may have failed, but one issue of yours couldn’t top a zillion of mine. I mean, “Half a dollar”? Come on! My writers can do better!
Ms. Janie: I thought you resigned.

Mary Beth: I know.

Ms. Janie: Oh, here comes Ryan Connell! Ryan, how are you doing?
Ryan Connell: Great.

Ms. Janie: You did how many Beanie websites now?
Ryan Connell: Four: “Beanie Babies Land”, “Beaniez”, “Collectiblez”, and currently, “CollectiblezSpot” with Ryan Johnson. He couldn’t come tonight because he had a date with my mom.

Ms. Janie: Hmm, that’s sweet. I think.

Mr. Beanwell: Ryan, how were you able to get all that information on your last website?
Ryan Connell: Collectiblez was a big hit, wasn’t it? The community’s really going down now, so I’m darn lucky to have gotten so much positive responses about it. Now working with Ry, it’s good that I’m working with an American since back in Canada, Ty’s still working on a solution for the retailers. I’ve got one solution suggestion for him: buy the postal service. If he can buy hotels and ranches, why can’t he control the postal service?
Mr. Beanwell: Triple work.

Mary Beth: I remember when you did that article on me. That was nice of you, Ryan.

Ryan Connell: You know, I could have done an article on you leaving, but I’m beginning college soon and I have to appear at various spring break parties.

Mary Beth: You can skip the parties and go Beanie hunting, you know.

Ryan Connell: Save it, ‘cause here comes La Rue from Kansas Brass and Pewter and Lisa from Planet Beans.

La Rue Horinek: Hello, dears! How are you doing?
Mary Beth: Fine!
Lisa LaMoy: Hey, Mary Beth, Ryan, and Mr. Beanwell!

Mr. Beanwell: How are you two?

Lisa LaMoy: Good. I had to drop my kids off at the all you can eat barbecue restaurant. They won’t like the catering here. All we got are beans.

La Rue Horinek: Yeah, I know. Fussy caterers don’t know old-fashioned southern cooking.

Ryan Connell: Wonder why you didn’t do websites on that?
Lisa LaMoy: We liked this better.

Mr. Beanwell: Hey, remember that Olympic contest that Ty did? That Nicole Moran… very friendly person. Ryan, you must have been very lucky to meet her.

Ryan Connell: Oh, it was only one day. Then she went back to her Swiss Miss diet.

La Rue Horinek: I’m also a very friendly person! I donate all the time!
Lisa LaMoy: She does. That’s why everyone loves her.

Mr. Beanwell: If she’s not married, then I’d love her.

La Rue Horinek: Um… I don’t know. You’re too secret to be my husband.

Mary Beth: Ooh, here are two people who aren’t too secret to be a couple… of Beanieholics! Randy and Theresa!
Mr. Beanwell: I have to give that joke an F plus.

Mary Beth: What can I say? I’m drunk!

Randy: Great to be here, people!

Theresa: Hi, Mary, Mister, Ryan, Lisa, La Rue, everyone!

Mr. Beanwell: I’m Bruce. I prefer not to be called Mister.

Theresa: I’m sorry. I didn’t know. People call you Mr. Beanwell.

Randy: Bruce Beanwell… now that’s a name for the ages.

Theresa: Indeed. I didn’t know his first name until now, really.

Lisa LaMoy: Actually, he told me in an email his name is Bruce Smith. He got the name “Mr. Beanwell” from fashion critic Mr. Blackwell.

Mr. Beanwell: That’s why I do a Beanie worst dressed list. Now, Wish, we hardly knew ye, but aren’t you a bit too young for five legs?
Theresa: I never knew criticism until now!

Randy: I’ve got a good one: “I wished on my wishbone that Wish would retire now or I’d throw my Wish into a wishing well!”

La Rue Horinek: Funny guys! Funny guys!
Mr. Beanwell: We should all join together and make our own Beanie website. You think?

La Rue Horinek: Maybe. What should we call it?
Randy: Ooh, how about “I Wish, I Wish, Ty Never Made a Beanie Starfish”!

Theresa: Nah, how about “Beanieholics CollectiblezSpot Planet Beanwell”?
Lisa LaMoy: I like it!
La Rue Horinek: But it needs my name in it.
