Chris and Lachel: Exit Row
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A flight attendant asks two newlyweds whether they can help in an emergency, but Chris and Lachel struggle to answer even the simplest questions without tangling themselves in contradictions. Their complaints about comfort and service interrupt the safety briefing, while a nearby passenger gives Lachel another reason to question her husband. The conversation becomes increasingly personal as the attendant tries to finish her preflight duties.

Wow, the rude jumped out of you, didn't it.
What about pretzel blankets?

Speaker 1 ?
I'm a D, boy, I'll tell you what the meaning is. The baddest turn to action.

Flight Attendant
Sir, are you willing and able to assist in case of an emergency?
- 00:15
Lachel ?
Babe.
- 00:16
Chris ?
Hi.
- 00:18
Lachel ?
The lady.
- 00:18
Flight Attendant
Are you willing and able to assist in the event of an emergency? I just need a verbal yes.
- 00:22
Chris ?
Oh, y'all.
- 00:24
Flight Attendant
Sorry, I need a verbal yes.
- 00:26
Chris
Bet.
- 00:26
Flight Attendant ?
Yes.
- 00:27
Lachel
Babe, just say yes.
- 00:29
Chris
No doubt.
- 00:30
Flight Attendant
Okay. Um, what about you, ma'am? Are you willing and able to assist in the event of an emergency?
- 00:35
Chris
Babe, listen to this.
- 00:38
Lachel ?
Hold on.
- 00:40
Chris
Nigga, bop, bop, bop.
- 00:42
Lachel ?
Yes.
- 00:42
Chris
Because we never, never stop.
- 00:45
Chris
It's good, right?
- 00:46
Lachel ?
Yes, it is.
- 00:46
Chris ?
It's good.
- 00:47
Lachel ?
Yes.
- 00:47
Chris ?
It's good.
- 00:48
Chris
I wrote that in eighth grade.
- 00:49
Lachel
I know. I remember. I was there.
- 00:51
Flight Attendant
Are you willing and able to assist in the event of an emergency?
- 00:53
Lachel
What emergency?
- 00:55
Flight Attendant
A hypothetical one.
- 00:56
Lachel
Okay, because we don't have time for an emergency because we are on our way to our honeymoon.
- 01:00
Chris ?
Yes.
- 01:01
Lachel ?
Yes.
- 01:02
Chris ?
Yes.
- 01:02
Flight Attendant
Congratulations. And we will take off just as soon as you confirm that you are willing and able to assist.
- 01:07
Lachel
Okay, like, I'm currently able, but what if I become unable over the course of the flight? Because anything can happen. You don't know.
- 01:14
Flight Attendant
Okay, well, you two don't have to sit here.
- 01:16
Chris ?
Ooh, Ru!
- 01:17
Lachel ?
Wow! The Ru jumped out at you, didn't it?
- 01:19
Chris
Okay, let me ask you this. Do we get to exit first?
- 01:22
Lachel
And do I get to take my homegirl with me?
- 01:23
Chris ?
Uh-huh.
- 01:25
Flight Attendant
Sir? Are you ready to provide a verbal yes?
- 01:28
Chris ?
I mean, I felt like I said that. Yeah. You know it.
- 01:30
Flight Attendant
Okay. So what do you say?
- 01:32
Chris
Yerp.
- 01:33
Flight Attendant
Yes.
- 01:34
Chris
Yam.
- 01:35
Flight Attendant
Yes.
- 01:35
Chris
Yaman.
- 01:36
Flight Attendant
Yes.
- 01:37
Chris
Yodel.
- 01:38
Flight Attendant
Yes.
- 01:38
Chris
Yoshi.
- 01:40
Flight Attendant ?
Yeah. That was just a sound.
- 01:46
Chris ?
Yeah.
- 01:47
Flight Attendant ?
Yes.
- 01:49
Chris ?
Yet.
- 01:50
Lachel
Does this even work?
- 01:51
Flight Attendant
Ma'am, could you please not do that?
- 01:53
Lachel
Because you're over here talking about...
- 01:54
Flight Attendant
Ma'am, can you not do that?
- 01:56
Lachel ?
Oh, excuse me.
- 01:59
Chris
Let me ask you one more thing. How much does this job pay?
- 02:02
Flight Attendant
It's not a job. It's volunteer.
- 02:04
Chris
Do I get free pretzels?
- 02:05
Lachel
That's a good question, babe.
- 02:07
Chris
Do I get a blanket?
- 02:07
Lachel
Right. Because y'all don't want to give out blankets no more, and it's crazy.
- 02:10
Chris
What about pretzel blankets?
- 02:11
Lachel
You know we got married.
- 02:13
Chris ?
The statistics of black men getting married aren't good.
- 02:15
Lachel ?
It's real low.
- 02:15
Lachel
So you really need to treat him with some respect, because we have been very above the odds.
- 02:21
Chris ?
That's right.
- 02:22
Flight Attendant
I will relocate both of you to middle seats in the back of the plane unless I get a verbal yes.
- 02:27
Lachel ?
Yeah, yeah. Got it.
- 02:29
Chris ?
And you ain't going to move nobody.
- 02:32
Flight Attendant ?
Oh, yes. You know what? I'll take it.
- 02:35
Chris ?
Yep,
- 02:36
Flight Attendant
sir. Sir, get on up. I'm moving you two seats in the back.
- 02:38
Chris
I was just playing.
- 02:39
Flight Attendant
It's fine. Go to the back.
- 02:41
Chris ?
I'll see you when we get there.
- 02:42
Lachel ?
I'll see you when we get there.
- 02:43
Chris ?
All right. I love you.
- 02:45
Lachel ?
Stop playing. We're on a plane.
- 02:47
Chris ?
Stop. We're on a plane.
- 02:49
Lachel ?
Stop.
- 02:52
Flight Attendant

Lachel
And I don't want to get kicked off.
- 03:29
Chris ?
Uh-huh.
- 03:29
Lachel
So if you could stop yelling, that'd be nice.
- 03:31
Chris
Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this. Does nigga wear camo like me? Doesn't he got a beard like me? Oh, he does? All right, I'm going to sit down.

One's carrying apples, and one's carrying oranges.
