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.

    Babe, listen to this.

  15. 00:38

  17. 00:42

  23. 00:47

  24. 00:48

    Chris

    I wrote that in eighth grade.

  25. 00:49

    Lachel

    I know. I remember. I was there.

  26. 00:51

    Flight Attendant

    Are you willing and able to assist in the event of an emergency?

  27. 00:53

    Lachel

    What emergency?

  28. 00:55

    Flight Attendant

    A hypothetical one.

  29. 00:56

    Lachel

    Okay, because we don't have time for an emergency because we are on our way to our honeymoon.

  30. 01:00

    Chris ?

    Yes.

  31. 01:01

    Lachel ?

    Yes.

  32. 01:02

    Chris ?

    Yes.

  33. 01:02

    Flight Attendant

    Congratulations. And we will take off just as soon as you confirm that you are willing and able to assist.

  34. 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.

  35. 01:14

    Flight Attendant

    Okay, well, you two don't have to sit here.

  36. 01:16

    Chris ?

    Ooh, Ru!

  37. 01:17

    Lachel ?

    Wow! The Ru jumped out at you, didn't it?

  38. 01:19

    Chris

    Okay, let me ask you this. Do we get to exit first?

  39. 01:22

    Lachel

    And do I get to take my homegirl with me?

  40. 01:23

    Chris ?

    Uh-huh.

  41. 01:25

    Flight Attendant

    Sir? Are you ready to provide a verbal yes?

  42. 01:28

    Chris ?

    I mean, I felt like I said that. Yeah. You know it.

  43. 01:30

    Flight Attendant

    Okay. So what do you say?

  44. 01:32

    Chris

    Yerp.

  45. 01:33

    Flight Attendant

    Yes.

  46. 01:34

    Chris

    Yam.

  47. 01:35

    Flight Attendant

    Yes.

  48. 01:35

    Chris

    Yaman.

  49. 01:36

    Flight Attendant

    Yes.

  50. 01:37

    Chris

    Yodel.

  51. 01:38

    Flight Attendant

    Yes.

  52. 01:38

    Chris

    Yoshi.

  53. 01:40

    Flight Attendant ?

    Yeah. That was just a sound.

  54. 01:46

    Chris ?

    Yeah.

  55. 01:47

    Flight Attendant ?

    Yes.

  56. 01:49

    Chris ?

    Yet.

  57. 01:50

    Lachel

    Does this even work?

  58. 01:51

    Flight Attendant

    Ma'am, could you please not do that?

  59. 01:53

    Lachel

    Because you're over here talking about...

  60. 01:54

    Flight Attendant

    Ma'am, can you not do that?

  61. 01:56

    Lachel ?

    Oh, excuse me.

  62. 01:59

    Chris

    Let me ask you one more thing. How much does this job pay?

  63. 02:02

    Flight Attendant

    It's not a job. It's volunteer.

  64. 02:04

    Chris

    Do I get free pretzels?

  65. 02:05

    Lachel

    That's a good question, babe.

  66. 02:07

    Chris

    Do I get a blanket?

  67. 02:07

    Lachel

    Right. Because y'all don't want to give out blankets no more, and it's crazy.

  68. 02:10

    Chris

    What about pretzel blankets?

  69. 02:11

    Lachel

    You know we got married.

  70. 02:13

    Chris ?

    The statistics of black men getting married aren't good.

  71. 02:15

    Lachel ?

    It's real low.

  72. 02:15

    Lachel

    So you really need to treat him with some respect, because we have been very above the odds.

  73. 02:21

    Chris ?

    That's right.

  74. 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.

  75. 02:27

    Lachel ?

    Yeah, yeah. Got it.

  76. 02:29

    Chris ?

    And you ain't going to move nobody.

  77. 02:32

    Flight Attendant ?

    Oh, yes. You know what? I'll take it.

  78. 02:35

    Chris ?

    Yep,

  79. 02:36

    Flight Attendant

    sir. Sir, get on up. I'm moving you two seats in the back.

  80. 02:38

    Chris

    I was just playing.

  81. 02:39

    Flight Attendant

    It's fine. Go to the back.

  82. 02:41

    Chris ?

    I'll see you when we get there.

  83. 02:42

    Lachel ?

    I'll see you when we get there.

  84. 02:43

    Chris ?

    All right. I love you.

  85. 02:45

    Lachel ?

    Stop playing. We're on a plane.

  86. 02:47

    Chris ?

    Stop. We're on a plane.

  87. 02:49

    Lachel ?

    Stop.

  88. 02:52

    Flight Attendant

    Sir? Hi. Sir? Hi. Would you like an exit row seat? There's lots of leg room.

  89. 02:57

    Passenger

    Baby, please. Could you stop? Because this is a very nice airline.

  104. 03:27

    Chris ?

    Uh-huh.

  105. 03:28

    Lachel

    And I don't want to get kicked off.

  106. 03:29

    Chris ?

    Uh-huh.

  107. 03:29

    Lachel

    So if you could stop yelling, that'd be nice.

  108. 03:31

    Chris

  109. 03:40

    Lachel ?

    I got another question.

  110. 03:42

    Lachel

    Listen, if two trains leave Pittsburgh at 6 o'clock, right?

  111. 03:47

    Passenger ?

    Yeah.

  112. 03:48
