This bean speaks Kansai-ben.

MAMESHIBA
Girl 1: そろそろお見合いとかどうなの？
Girl 2: そんなの必要ないわよ
Bean: あかんって
Girl 2: え？
Bean: まいど！
まいど…
Bean: ね、知ってる？歌が下手なカナリアは、一生独身なんやって。
Girl 2: ええ？！うるせー！

In my Translation:
MAMESHIBA
Girl 1: It’s about time you tried to get set up for an arranged marriage or something isn’t it?
Girl 2: I don’t need anything like that…
Bean: Hey that’s no good!
Bean: Welcome!
Girl 1: Welcome?
Bean: Hey did you know? A canary that can’t sing well will be single forever…
Girl 2: What?! Shut up!!!

Kansai-ben is an international language. You must learn it.

まいど！
