The premise
Here’s the bit.
Ed is working his last shift at the JFK Delta One Lounge, where a failing eggnog machine keeps spraying the travelers. His wife Rhonda calls from home, and their conversation turns into a Christmas duet. Between serving passengers, Ed reflects on leaving a workplace and colleagues he loves. Rhonda arrives in person, followed by the CEO of eggnog at Delta, and the three share a musical farewell.
