This is a listing of the Beanish frames and their associated dialog, using the Beanish Speech numbering system. By speculaing on what the Beanies might be saying, and looking for repeats and patterns, a phrase-book might be concocted, even without knowing the individual symbols' meaning.
Beanish Speech numbering system[]
Using the Beanie Speech numbering system, the first frame of actual Beanie speech is BS 1. (The previous frame, BS 0, had Cuegan speech)
BS-0 = M-2657 = GW-2662 = BA-2665
Dead Sea (which is big) Scrolls

|
BS-6 | Get/find/bring the medicine |

Beanish frames[]
BS-1: first meeting[]
the three Beanies are in very similar poses. Leftmost (closest to Cuegan) speaks. It could be:
- Hello (or its equivalent)
who are you?
Do you speak Beanie?
I don't understand.
Huh?
BS-2: middle Beanie speaks[]
- a longer loqution. Hands are extended a bit; that position suggests he (or she) is asking a question. It could be:
Where are you from?
How did you get here?
Do you speak Beanie?
I am leaving out the possibilities that the Beanies are equally lost and are asking the Cuegan "Do you know the way to San Jose?"
BS-3 Cuegan speak[]
BS-4 Cuegan bandage being removed[]
BS-5 Cuegan bandage completely removed[]
Rightmost Beanie has look of "Oh my!" Middle one curious, looking in. Leftmost (closest) one backing off a bit, perhaps to speak to the middle one.
BS-6: Middle Beanie speaks and points to whence the Beanies came[]
- (or to the third Beanie.. same direction) This results in the rightmost Beanie going back whence they came. Probably a command. Could be:
Get/find/bring thedoctor/elder/mommy/medical_kit (here).
The doctor/elder/mommy would know (what to do).
BS-7: Rightmost Beanie walking whence they came.[]
BS-8: Leftmost Beanie examins Megan's knee[]
BS-9: Leftmost Beanie points to Megans knee and says something to remaining Beanie[]
Could be:
- This looks serious.
I've never seen that before.
Looks like a keyboard attack.
At least nothing is broken.
... or the same, in question form.
BS-10: Rightmost Beanie returns with something.[]
BS-11: Leftmost Beanie leads them to a rock.[]
He has hands outstretched and looks like he's talking to Megan, but there's no speech indicated.
BS-12 Megan, center, on rock[]
Cuegan to left. Leftmost Beanie on far left, the other two Beanies each holding something and are on far right. Cuegan speech:
- Cueball: They seem to know what they're doing
Megan: Yeah. I wonder what that is.
BS-13 Megan points to what middle Beanie has and asks:[]
Cuegan speech:
- Megan: That. What is that?
BS-14 Middle Beanie responds.[]
Leftmost Beanie looks to left (away from group) Beanie speech (two long words). Could be:
- Bacitracin(r)
Magic elixir/antiseptic cream (or whatever it is)
This won't hurt a bit. (or something reassuring)
Brace yourself!
BS-15 Middle Beanie applies paste.[]
Cuegan speech:
- Cueball: It's some kind of paste. Does it hurt?
Megan: Not --ow-- not really.
BS-16 Middle Beanie continues to apply paste.[]
BS-17 The two rightmost Beanies back off, Megan gets up.[]
to test it out. White paste visible on her knee.
BS-18 The two rightmost Beanies turn (to go?).[]
Cuegan speech:
- Megan: Um, thank you.
BS-19 Leftmost Beanie gesturing at the Cuegan to follow[]
as they exit right. The leftmost Beanie has passed the Cuegan on the right.
