It's so much better.

You get a bigger seat.

You get food.

But also, you get to sit first.

You get to sit before

anybody else does.

They sit you down and you get

to just sit there with champagne

and watch all the sweaty,

miserable,

all the single moms hefting

their stroller and the kid.

"That looks heavy and nobody's

helping you. That's a drag."

And you get to just--

Anyway, so I'm on the plane.

I'm in first class

and this soldier gets on the plane.

I see soldiers fly all the time

because that's how they

get to the war.

They fly on a shitty airline.

You think they get to go on a

cool green plane with a red light.

"Go! Go! Go!"

No, they just go to Delta.

And they just

wait in line to go to a war.

And they always fly coach.

I've never seen a soldier in

first class in my life.

It could be a full bird colonel,

he's between two fat

guys in coach.

And they're always nice.

I've never seen a soldier

get on a plane--

"Hey, I'm in the Army."

"F*** you. I have a gun."

They're always, "Oh, yes sir.

Thank you very much ma'am."

It's like having an extra flight attendant.

They help everybody put their sh*t up.

They're awesome.

And every time that I see a

soldier on a plane, I always think,

You know what,

I should give him my seat.

It would be the right thing to do.

It would be easy to do and it

would mean a lot to him.

I could go up to him, "Hey, Son."

I get to call him, "Son."

"Hey, son, go ahead

and take my seat."

Because I'm in first class, why,

for being a professional a**hole.

I'm in first class because I talk

about babies with big d*cks.

That's what got me my seat.

This guy is giving his life

for the country, he thinks,

and so he has to sit--

But that's good enough.

That's good enough,

the fact that he thinks it.

I'm serious.

He's f***ing told by everybody

in his life system

that that's a great thing

to do and he's doing it.

And it's scary but he's doing it.

And he's sitting in this shitty seat

and I should trade with him.

I never have.

Let me make that clear.

I've never done it once.

I've had so many opportunities.

I never even really,

seriously came close.

And here's the worst part.

I still just enjoy the fantasy

for myself to enjoy.

I was actually proud of myself

for having thought of it.

I was proud.

Ah, I am such a sweet man.

That is so nice of me

to think of that and then

totally never do it.

At least you should be good

just to the people--

Just turn a good face to the

people that you see in life.

I don't do that either

because when I get in the

elevator in my building--

That's my first contact

with human beings after

being home and just being

disgusting for hours.
