when I arrive,

I'm going to head directly

to the Kasbah...

where I will purchase for you...

They don't have Kasbahs

in Afghanistan.

What? No rock the Kasbah?

Somebody is not

going to like that.

They're in North Africa,

not Afghanistan.

[ SIGHS ] You are so

your father's daughter.

Scary smart.

And you got my looks too.

You really have

the total package of me.

Okay, then I'll just go

to the mall...

and get you one of those stuffed

elephants with the mirrors all over it.

Just come home.

[ WOMAN ] Hurry up! Ann Coulter's

gonna dance next!

I gotta go.

Mmm.

Dree!

Dree.

I love you.

I love you more.

[ JET ENGINES WHINING ]

- [ JET ENGINES CONTINUE ]

- [ ENGINE STARTS ]

[ RICHIE ] Come on.

We're in the homestretch.

Last leg.

Come on. This is

just a short two-hour...

[ WHISPERING ]

Hell flight!

It's a hell flight.

This is a goddamn death trip.

Forgive me.

The '85 Bangles tour

was a death trip.

Susanna Hoffs would not

even talk to her own mother.

[ GROANING ]

I'm going to hurl.

[ RETCHES ]

[ WHINING ]

What if they hate me?

They're soldiers.

They'll kill me.

You want my air?

Here. Take mine.

No. I want to go home.

Hey, did I tell you my Stevie Nicks story?

Oh, God.

It's the Rumours tour.

[ RETCHING, COUGHING ]

Stevie can't go on.

Stevie won't go on.

Finally, I can't

stand it anymore.

I run over to her,

grab her by the shoulders.

I look her in the eye.

I SAY:
[ RETCHING CONTINUES ]

"Miss Stevie.

I'm nobody, but I'm a fan."

And there's a lot of kids

out there tonight just like me...

fans, who saved all month

to come and hear Stevie Nicks sing.

"To see Stevie Nicks twirl."

What happened?

Yeah. Crazy.

She head-butted me.

Deviated septum...

that I still have.

[ SNIFFS ]

Blood everywhere,

all over both of us.

But Miss Stevie Nicks went on and

did the show of her life that night.

And Ms. Ronnie Smiler, I think you are

that same kind of professional.

I believe in you.

Mmm.

He believes in you.

Oh, my God.

You should see the way he

looks at you while you sleep.

[ SMACKS LIPS ]

Stop it right now.

"Not wearing underwear."

[ WHISPERING ] You idiot.

That's what he's thinking.

- You idiot.

- It's only rock and roll, babe.

Yeah. Think Aspen.

But, you know, during wartime.

This is the last of it?

It's not ours.

[ MAN ] Your luggage probably

never made it on the flight.

It has been known to happen.

Is there a lost-and-found?

Not in the traditional sense,

sir.

Richie, I want to get out of here.

Mm-hmm.

Get me the hell out of here now.

Okay, Private?

We'll proceed to the Majestic Hotel,

get you people squared away.

Don't want to head into town in the dark,
