Supervisor James delivers some bad news
to three San Diego passengers.
They've missed the flight because their boarding call
couldn't be heard in the bar.
What happened to our bags?
They'll be there.
The next one is 5:50 and after that there's a 7:30.
The other friend?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
You know.
He's a mess.
I know.
You know he may not get on the plane.
Wait, I'm sorry?
He may not get on the plane.
Why?
Because if he had been drinking
they'll deny him boarding getting on the plane.
Maybe he should stop now then.
If he been drinking, I mean seriously, we're
trying to get you guys there.
But if he's been drinking, they probably
will deny him boarding.
But I've been informed by the counter
that he's been drinking.
He's standing there with a beer, drinking,
and he's giving them a little flack.
So it's a decision where I don't know if I'm
going to let him board or not. - Are you being serious?
Swear to god.
Go.
They have enough time, I think,
to sober up if they work at it diligently from this point
and, you know, drink coffee, sit down.
I just let them know that he's not going to be able to get on.
Is he that bad?
I don't know.
I have-- is he in the bar?
Dave Fox and his friends have been to see the rock band
Trapt, and he's got a plan.
Maybe if he's convincing enough, people will think that they're
actually members of the band.
It's our band, Trapt.
Are you guys kidding me?
You guys don't even know who we are?
No.
Oh, that's not an issue.
If he's intoxicated when he comes the boarding door,
I have to deny him boarding.
How did you know I was the singer?
We can go bar, we can go coffee.
Anything we can do to get him in good condition to fly.
Our new CD, a little bit different,
a little bit different.
- We got to go over there. - Go over here.
Right here.
How are you, Dave.
You should start drinking water right now.
I'm the operations supervisor at Southwest here.
My concern is you've had a little bit
too much to drink right now to be getting on the airplanes,
OK.
Oh, I'm fine.
OK.
I just want to make sure.
If you do have a smell of presence
of alcohol and everything when you board I may have to deny,
so. - That's perfect.
- OK. - Thank you.
I appreciate it, Dave.
Can I finish this and start drinking water?
- Well that's up to you. - No, no.
If I were you, I'd go right to water.
The plane is delayed so he has a little,
another hour or so to sober up, possibly, but I don't--
I don't know.
Dave's notion of what constitutes
being drunk seems to differ from the boarding agent's.
Do I seem drunk?
Tell the truth.
Did, was I, exactly.
I think I might have handled myself
a little bit, a little bit kind of naughty.
I'm not drunk.
Do I seem drunk?
Tell the truth.
Dave seems to have convinced himself,
but can he convince the airline?
Yeah, I'm actually completely sober.
It doesn't seem.
And I have a shoot right now.
If you're going to make me look bad in front of a camera.
OK, I'm not trying to make you look bad.
I'm just letting you know.
That actually is going to [bleep] me up.
I'm going to have call my manager.
Are you starting to threaten me?
Not at all.
OK.
Like, like, show something, like.
I was just watching you and I just
kind of, what I was observing.
Observations?
I'm a scientist.
OK.
That actually bothers me.
I mean you just, you seem to be under the influence, though.
How?
I don't know.
Just by your actions.
OK, well.
It's not looking so good with Dave.
He's wasted.
Just pickled beyond belief.
Do you guys know where Millionaire Aviation is?
He's going to try to contact his record label, Warner
Brothers, to see if they'll contract a private jet
from them out to Los Angeles so they could perform
at the Avalon tomorrow night.
So they have a show in front of 20,000 or 30,000 people,
they got to perform.
Where's Millionaire Aviation?
How do we get a cab here?
You want to take a cab to Millionaire?
Yeah.
Is it expensive?
Has he booked a charter for you?
Brett, hold on.
Yeah.
Do you want me to speak to him?
Where is it?
No, it's over on--
If you want me to speak to him, I will.
State.
What's that?
We can take, we're going to take the train.
I'm [bleep] delirious right now.
I can't, I can't be angry anymore.
I'm not quite sure if there's actually
anybody on the other end of the phone
if he's trying to charter a jet.
But he gave me information, anyway.
At the last minute to charter a jet out of here
is going to run him $50,000.
Nobody's [inaudible].
Are you serious?
Without a spare $50,000 to his name,
and no other flights available, Dave and his friends
will try to get home in the morning.
Sucks!
Thank you.
I don't know what happened.
He started chugging water and he got more obnoxious
as he drank more water.
That's the craziest thing.
Hopefully he'll be OK in the morning, they'll get out.
I hope they get out.
Flights are pretty full, so we'll see.
Good luck to them.
