Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Yeah, why do you think I call her the Yellow Baron?

I want you to invite me over because you mean it, not because I said something about it.

You have to ask me when I'm not expecting it. It means more.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Cloud Pony and Air Dragon fly in formation, and every time Cloud Pony calls for help with an enemy on his tail, Air Dragon bails him out and collects an "I owe you one." Tired of the running tab, Air Dragon floats a different way to settle up: a dinner invitation for him and his wife. Cloud Pony offers one on the spot, but Air Dragon rejects it as pity and insists it only counts if the invitation is spontaneous and sincere. Each fresh emergency call brings another botched attempt to invite him at the wrong moment, until Cloud Pony finally asks at an unexpected time and gets a yes, only to find the next bogey waiting.

    Falling back into formation. Let's all keep lookout for the MiGs about 1,300 feet below. I've Mayday! Mayday! I got a bogey on my tail. I don't know where this guy came from. He's riding me good. I need your help.

  2. 00:20

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    Sit tight, Cloud Pony. I'm en route.

  3. 00:23

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    My dogs are barking. I need backup.

  4. 00:27

    Cloud Pony

    Thanks, Air Dragon. I owe you one.

  5. 00:33

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    Sure you do. Yeah, that's right. You owe me another one, actually.

  6. 00:41

    Cloud Pony

    Yeah, you're a good pilot and a great wingman.

  7. 00:45

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    Seems like every time we get airborne, there's a bogey on your tail and I bail you out.

  8. 00:51

    Cloud Pony

    Well, I guess.

  9. 00:53

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    It seems like every time I do, you say, thanks, Air Dragon, I owe you one.

  10. 00:58

    Cloud Pony

    Well, I owe you one. I do the same for you.

  11. 01:01

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    Well, I never get bogeys on my tail. I just seem to keep them off yours.

  12. 01:06

    Cloud Pony

    Well, you're a better pilot than I am.

  13. 01:08

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    And clearly, a better friend

  14. 01:10

    Cloud Pony

    What's that supposed to mean?

  15. 01:13

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    Well, you're a great cook

  16. 01:15

    Cloud Pony

    What's that have to do with anything?

  17. 01:17

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    Well, did you ever think that getting me back doesn't have to be shooting bogeys off my tail?

  18. 01:23

    Cloud Pony

    What?

  19. 01:24

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    You know my wife Ling Pai and I are lonely We like some company every now and then We can't have kids

  20. 01:29

    Cloud Pony

    I didn't know you and Ling Pai couldn't have kids

  21. 01:31

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    Yeah, why do you think I call her the Yellow Baron?

  22. 01:35

    Cloud Pony

    I thought it was an aviator thing

  23. 01:37

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    No. Maybe you owing me one could be paid off by a nice sit-down dinner for the little lady and I.

  24. 01:43

    Cloud Pony

    Oh, well, that's no problem. Do you two want to come over for dinner sometime?

  25. 01:47

    Air Dragon (Rick)

    No, not now. I want you to invite me over because you mean it, not because I said something about it. I don't want your pity. The Baron and I aren't desperate.

  26. 01:57

    Cloud Pony

    Oh, no. Air Dragon! Mayday! Mayday! I got a bogey on my six! I got a bogey on my six! I need your help, buddy!

    Cloud Pony

    Listen! Do you and Ling Pai want to come over for dinner tomorrow?

  29. 02:13

    Air Dragon (Rick)
