Impersonate Elvis.

Thank you very much.

- Hello!

- Hi, come on.

Hello.

Oh, look at this room!

Oh, my God!

I'm pretty sure

in the seventies,

they shot porn

in this room.

Oh, come on, this is awesome!

Look at this place.

Oh, my God!

There's half a plane here.

It's really cool.

Look, there are wires.

Well, here we are.

Home sweet home.

Oh, my God!

President Al Sayed

flew on this plane, right?

Yes, baby, 35 years ago.

And the network gave me

a shoestring budget

so we are

on a 75% discount.

For 75%

of a f***ing plane.

Frank, I'm sorry.

It was the best I could do on such short notice.

Spare metal here. There are wires hanging.

I know, I know.

Keep filming, Pete,

you need to practice.

At least I can stay awake.

Huh?

"We'll erase it, baby,

I promise."

What's he talking about?

You don't remember, do you?

I know it's not,

it's not your fault.

I mean, it's not that bad.

I mean, it's color coordinated,

we got a TV. What more do we need?

- A TV that works.

- Yeah.

I think it's

kind of cool.

It's not so bad.

I mean, it's bad,

but it could be worse.

It's beautiful.

So get this, Pete.

We fly out of New York

on the 17th, right?

That's right

So that gives my beautiful wife a six-day windowto

realize what a stupid f***ing idea this was.

Touch.

You are so sweet.

Marcela, when you have

a minute or 30 seconds

I've got a video

you need to see.

- What is it?

- You'll love it.

Trust me.

Starting to pull.

Will this plane fly,

anybody want in?

I got 20

that says no.

Anybody?

I found the liquor cabinet.

- How about you, Frank?

- Any f***ing drink will do.

- How long is our layover?

- About six hours?

You know, we should pop in

to see my aunt Jennifer.

She'd love to meet you.

She's a big fan.

She actually says to me

that you are cute.

Cute...

That's what they want.

Well, the ANC execs tell me

your best demographic

is women over 50. What the f***?

She and her little

sewing circle

get together every Thursday night to watch you.

- Did you see that? - See what?

There is a f***ing gun

on the stewardess.

I don't know, just look out

the window, Kane!

What do you mean?

Sh*t!

Juliana, stay there!

- Kane, what?

- Stay back!

What's going on?

Pete, what's going on?

Back off!

- Please just stay there.

- What's going on?

He's got a gun

on the stewardess.

- Get out of the way.

- No.

Get on the radio,

call the tower,

tell them

what's happened.

This is not your plane!

We understand

but we cannot let them in.

Get your f***ing head

away from the door!

Listen to me.

We cannot let them in.

That's my crew out there.

Get out of the way!

Enough!

Go, go!

Take the phones.
