I change my clothes four times a day.
Mrs. Fleming, we're all praying here that the tracer works.
Oh, God, I know that I've overreacted before.

Synopsis

Presented as an episode of a soap opera, complete with swelling organ stings, the sketch opens at an airline's baggage office in Las Vegas, where an agent informs Jessica Fleming that her bags did not arrive. As he solemnly explains the slow paperwork of a luggage trace and the cities her suitcase could be in, Jessica refuses to accept the news, while her husband Ted plays the steady, square-jawed spouse and sternly demands results. She retreats to the airport chapel, where Ted tries to calm her before leaving her alone, and she pours out a tearful prayer about her missing clothes and accessories, confessing to an outrageous stunt she once pulled to recover a garment bag. The agent finally arrives with an update that only sets her off again.
