Beans (1)

Beans is a tough, smart, and full of fiery independence Desert iguana, Beans is on a mission to find out where all of Dirt's water has gone. She still holds on to her Daddy's ranch, even as the odds against survival stack higher and higher. She ends up falling in love with Rango as the film progresses.

Role in Film[]

Beans serves as one of the main protagonists of the film. She is first seen when Rango tries to recover some water that was out in the desert. Rango comes across Beans who, believing that he may be involved with the drought that her town is suffering, interrogates at gunpoint. Beans realizes Rango is not the cause when he puts on a dance number for her. Rango sees that Beans has a cart full of bottles, and takes a sample of one. Beans tells him that he is eating her father's cigarette ashes. Rango says that ‎"he may have had his reasons," causing Beans to get offended, start yelling at Rango, and abruptly freezes in her tracks. When she revives, she tells Rango that freezing is a ‎"‎defense mechanism‎." Beans then offers Rango a ride into the of Dirt, to which he accepts.

Once Beans drops Rango off, she arrives at the Bank of Dirt to visit the bank manager, Mr. Merrimack. Mr. Merrimack reveals to Beans that the towns reserve water supply – a water cooler bottle – is near empty, which horrifies Beans now that the chances of saving her ranch are slim. Beans then tells Mr. Merrimack that she has reason to believe that someone is dumping water out into the desert. Mr. Merrimack suggests that Beans go see The Mayor.

When Rango is waiting to see the mayor in the waiting room, the mayor makes a deal with Beans to sell her ranch. Beans angrily declines by saying ‎”‎I CAME HERE TO SAVE MY LAND, NOT SELL IT!‎”, and storms out. While Beans makes her way out of the waiting room, she recognizes Rango and repeatedly looks at him.

Beans starts to take into suspicion of the mayor's disconcern about the water shortage and the dumping of water out in the desert. Mr. Merrimack tells Beans to go and see Rango (who was made sheriff by the mayor after killing a hawk). Beans finds Rango showcasing a cowboy outfit. She also sees Angelique (the mayor's secretary), whom Beans obviously has hatred for as seen by insulting her. Beans tries to get Rango's attention, but he ignores her and gives someone an autograph. Beans then scolds Rango, telling him that her ranch is on the verge of an ‎”‎agricultural meltdown”, and she suddenly freezes up. Once Beans revives, she asks Rango if he's ever heard about the fate of the old sheriff, which surprises Rango. With that, Beans walks out.

Shortly after, Beans, along the other villagers, grab empty bottles and head towards a spigot. Rango is the first one to get a bottle of water from the spigot, but the townsfolk are all shocked to see mud come out instead of water. The mayor tries to calm everyone down by telling that sacrifices will have to be made and he'll be willing to help in way he can. Beans interrupts him and, inadvertently, yells out the spigot running dry is also stemmed to the bank low on water where everyone can hear. The town goes into a panic and Beans realizes her mistake.

The town forms into an angry mob and blames the water shortage on Mr. Merrimack and the bank. Rango tries to assure everyone that he will protect the remaining water. Beans is seen in the crowd.

The next day the bank is revealed to have been robbed, so Rango decides to organize a posse. They discover a tunnel that the robbers used to perform the theft. Rango hands torch out to all the members of the posse, but halts when he sees Beans wishes to join them. Rango tells Beans that a posse ain't no place for a lady, but Beans angrily takes the torch out of Rango's hand. The posse discovers a pipe that leads directly under the bank and Beans assumes that something is controlling the water, they all decide to track it. Once they come to the end of the pipe (after crossing an aquifer), Rango tells everyone to douse their torches, and sure enough, they see light coming from the surface. Beans says to Rango, “You keep thinkin' like that, your head's gonna catch on fire”. The posse climbs up to the surface, where they discover Mr. Merrimack's corpse. Beans suggests to bury the body, although the others suggest to leave it out, saying «‎the birds got to eat, too‎». They all decide to continue their journey on horseback.

Rango and his posse decide to set up camp for the night. Rango takes first watch as he sees Beans looking out to a see of yuccas. Beans tells Rango the legend of how the yuccas would come to live at night and look for a source of water. She also tells him that she would always stay up late and see for herself. Beans then asks Rango if he ever felt lonely, and couldn't imagine it, due to his ability to make friends quickly. The two of them get into a conversation about if they ever had someone special in there lives, at which point Beans freezes up again. Only this time, she wasn't under any stress. Rango, realizing this, kisses Beans on the cheek and walks away. Beans revives and smiles warmly.

The next day, Beans, Rango, and the posse spot thieves who stole the water from the bank. They ambush the thieves, however it is revealed that they are not alone. The posse steal back the water and the thieves give chase. Beans and Rango pilot the cart carrying the water, as the rest of the posse fight off the thieves. The cart topples over and it is revealed that there was no water in the jug. One of the three main thieves admits that the jug had already been stolen before they got to the bank, so he got a decoy jug. Beans, Rango, and the posse then decide to hold the thieves under arrest.

As a lynch mob in Dirt tries to preemptively murder Balthazar and his two family members, Rattlesnake Jake comes into town and confronts Rango about his alleged past as a great hero. He brielfy wraps around Beans and encourages Rango to kill him, who does not have the guts to do so and is forced to leave Dirt. After Rango is exiled from Dirt, the mayor tries to coerce Beans into giving up her father's ranch, but she still refuses. Due to this, Rattlesnake Jake wraps his massive coils around beans. He then threatens her and then squeezes her and then tries to choke her to death but Rango returns to town. As Rattlesnake Jake prepares to duel Rango, the mayor's goons tie up Beans.

When the water returns to Dirt, Rango is about to kill Rattlesnake Jake but the mayor forces him to stop by threatening to kill Beans. When Rango gives up his gun, he is thrown into the bank's safe along with Beans, and Rango unties her. She is happy to see him and kisses him, at the same time Rango has the one bullet in his mouth which Beans accidentally swallows. When Rango alerts her of this, Beans enters her frozen state and Rango tries to thrust the bullet from her throat. As he pushes her, the bullet exits her mouth and hits the glass door of the safe, breaking it and pushing them out of the safe. This flush of water also pushes the mayor out of the bank and onto his back out of his wheelchair, and he is dragged away by Rattlesnake Jake.

When the mayor is defeated, Beans congratulates Rango on saving the town, and she makes him a lunch as shown in the end credits.

Personality[]

Beans is exceedingly intelligent, tough, and quick‐witted. Half of the film depicts her as hostile, short‐tempered, and irritable, as shown when she yells at Rango for mentioning her father's alcoholism and smoking habits. As the film progress, she is shown to be more caring, protective, warmhearted, and very selfless.

Heroism[]

Beans is probably best known for her stubborn nature and her no‐give‐up attitude. Beans is absolutely determined to succeed and will not stop until she reaches her goal, no matter how hopeless it may seem. She is also has great leadership skills, as shown throughout her and the town's search for their stolen water from the bandits.

Stress[]

Beans has consistently dealt with stress throughout her life. Taking care of and saving the entire town of Dirt, protecting her ranch, dealing with the new arrival hero Rango, and fighting off bandits are just a few reasons why Beans suffers from stress.

Physical Appearance[]

Beans is said to be the most beautiful lizard in Dirt. She is a tan desert iguana with brown ringlet hair and orange eyes. She wears a gray-blue 1900s dress, a necklace, and dark brown boots.

When Rango borrows her dress for the acting scene against the mole family, Beans wears the Wounded Bird's coat, to play a princess.

Relationships[]

Rango[]

At first, Beans finds Rango rather strange due to his random excuses and unusual dress, in addition to Rango being a foreigner. As the movie progresses, she grows to like him more, finding him charming and funny. Even after Rango was exposed as a fraud by Rattlesnake Jake, Beans still had feelings for the chameleon because he saved her from his clutches.

Beans' Daddy[]

The circumstances of Beans' relationship with her father is unknown, due to him having died prior to the events of the film. However, Beans seems to think very highly of her father and looked up to him as a great man, despite his smoking addiction. Whenever someone mentions Beans' father's habits, Beans immediately retaliates and scolds said person and tells them about how great of a man her daddy was. In memory of her daddy, Beans carries around his cigarette ashes in her wagon. Thus, it is implied that two had a fairly strong father–daughter relationship.

Talents[]

Beans has different abilities.

  • Intelligence – She was the first citizen of the town to realize the cause of the town's water shortage and the perpetrator who had been taking control of the water. Beans also seems to hold great knowledge of geographical structures and wildlife. She was able to identify an aquifer(an underground layer of water–bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials). Beans also knew about the ‎"Spanish dagger‎‎" and the legend that it held.
  • Firearms – Beans, like many other people of Dirt, is very skilled when handling a firearm. She has mostly been seen using a shotgun.
  • Combat Skills – Beans is shown to impressively be able to fend for herself. This is evidently seen when she fought a number of robbers who were trying to apprehend her, and was able to fight them off.
  • Cooking – Beans was seen at the end of the movie to have made Rango a lunch. It consisted of a danish with the raisins picked out.

Weaknesses[]

Whenever Beans becomes too anxious or upset, she goes into a petrified state, just like me whenever I remember that i haven't paid my homies dues yet. It seems that her species does this whenever there is an incoming threat. She claims this to be a defense mechanism against enemies, but actually, this ability of hers leaves her wide open. Since she is unable to defend herself or move at all, she is completely vulnerable and could easily be killed while in this state.
