Cousin, I'm so excited,
and I just can't hide it.
I'm about to lose control..
...and I think I like it.
I can't believe I am finally going to fly on an aero plane
and spend a whole week in The Great Pumpkin.
No, Balki, not "The Great Pumpkin."
New York City is the "Big Apple."
I‐is that all you're taking?
Well, of course not. Don't be ridiculous.
I'm wearing an extra set of Jockey shorts.
[knock on door]
‐ Hi, girls! ‐ Hi!
‐ Hi. ‐ Oh, hi.
Are you two ready for New York City?
Larry, a‐about that
I'm afraid we have some bad news.
We've finally been assigned to work the Hawaii flight
the one we've been bidding on for so long.
It's the best route on the schedule more money
and something most flight attendants only dream about.
Well, that doesn't sound like bad news to me.
It doesn't, does it?
What was the bad news, Jennifer?
The bad news is that
we have to start our new flight tomorrow
so we can't go to New York with you guys.
I‐I'm really sorry, Larry.
Oh. Oh...well, uh..
Well, that's alright. I‐I‐I understand about careers.
Well...without you
the...the Big Apple will be rotten to the core.
Gee, too bad you guys are so set on New York.
If you weren't, you could go to Hawaii with us.
Hawaii? Well, that sounds great!
But‐but I don't know if we can afford it
No, sure you can. If you fly stand by it'll be just
a little bit more than you spend on your trip to New York.
Cousin, Hawai‐i!
It will be fun and educational.
Isn't that where the Japanese bombed Pearl Bailey?
Yes, it is.
‐ Well, let's go to Hawaii! ‐ Oh!
This is great!
Well, we better go get packed.
Will see you in the morning.
We'll be ready.
We'll never be ready.
It took six weeks to pack for New York City.
Now I've got 12 hours to pack for Hawaii.
I need sunscreen, sunglasses, casual wear, something formal
yet not fussy, in case we go out to dinner‐‐
Cousin...all you need for Hawai‐i
is a swimsuit, a towel
and a pair of those sandals
with, uh, that thing that goes in between your toes.
Thongs.
You're welcome. See you in the morning.
[instrumental music]
Hello.
Hi.
Hello.
I'm Balki Bartokomous.
Balki Bartokomous. I'm in 22‐D.
Feel free to drop by anytime.
Hello, hello, hello.
How are you? Balki Bartokomous.
Sheepherder.
Cousin, cousin? 22‐D and E, come on down!
[sighs]
Sorry.
Excuse me.
‐ Oh! ‐ Oh, I'm terribly..
‐ Oh! ‐ I'm sorry.
I'll be by in a second.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Oh, oh. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
Let me, let me just get by, and I'll be fine.
I'm sorry. I'm very sorry.
Thank you.
Cousin, uh..
[sighs]
You know, uh..
...if you check, check these bags
then they, they'll put them
in the stomach of the plane for you.
Balki, Balki, Balki.
I make it a point to carry on all my luggage
and put in the overhead compartment.
Well, just‐just‐just, let me..
I was just going to say that
"This particular compartment was full."
So it was.
Cousin, uh, you‐you.. Uh, let me take care of that.
‐ Y‐y‐you do your bag. ‐ Alright, alright, alright.
Thank you so much.
‐ Oh. I'm, I'm so sorry. ‐ Oh, that's okay. That's okay.
‐ I'm sorry. ‐ It's okay. It's okay.
[sighs]
Thank you, sir.
(Larry) 'Excuse me.'
'I'm sorry. Very sorry.'
You know I love the way you demanded
the no‐smoking section at the ticket counter.
Oh!
I never knew you could be so forceful.
Well, there's a lot about me you don't know, honey.
But you'll have the rest of our lives to find out.
Let me guess.
Honeymooners?
[chuckles]
Yes, we are.
So tell me, was it a prearranged marriage..
...or did you have to pay for her with livestock?
Gee...she looks like she could command at least..
...two sheep and a goat.
Do you know, my Aunt Uvula used to say
"Just give me an ox.
I don't care about the dowry
I don't care about those little towels that you‐‐"
Excuse him.
He's on anti‐nausea medication.
[exhales sharply]
Balki, these people don't want to be disturbed.
Now, buckle up.
But, cousin, as you know
I prefer suspenders to a belt buckle anytime
both for aesthetic and practical considerations.
‐ As I once‐‐ ‐ Seat belt. Oh, here.
‐ Here. ‐ Oh..
‐ Comfy? ‐ Yeah.
‐ Tight enough? ‐ Oh, yes!
Balki...put the tray table up.
Well, I‐I‐I‐‐
Put the tray table up now.
Stop it!
You're not ever... gonna do that again..
...are you?
Cousin, I‐I have to just say here, he has a point.
It is..
It‐it's‐it's very disruptive to the travel experience.
‐ Come here. ‐ Oh, cousin, no!
‐ I promise I'll never touch it. ‐ Come here. Come here.
Come here! Come here ! Come on!
[groaning]
Oh.

‐ Balki! ‐ Aah!
Why you did that for?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I forgot, I forgot to tell you.
This is a...no‐singing section.
Hi, guys.
Jennifer! Mary Anne!
Oh!
[laughing]
Oh, we just wanted to say "Hello"
because we won't have a chance to talk during the flight.
Well, then, I have to give you these now.
I, I baked us a little treat...for our trip.
‐ Those look good. ‐ What are they?
These are honey‐roasted chalkidikis.
Hmm.
What?
Honey‐roasted chalkidikis
the traditional travel food of Mypos. Cousin.
Yeah.. No, I'll wait for the honey‐roasted peanuts..
...the traditional travel food of America.
Balki, these are delicious.
Oh, thank you very much.
They're‐they're not only tasty and nutritious
but they have a shelf‐life of over 120 years.
(Pilot) 'This is |Captain Hogan.'
'Will the flight attendants please prepare for departure.'
‐ Seatbelts on. ‐ Oh.
‐ Would you buckle up. ‐ Buckle up.
[instrumental music]
(Balki) 'Cousin, we're fly‐ing!'
Larry..
...I feel terrible, and so does Mary Anne.
Well, maybe it's something you ate.
What'd you have for breakfast this morning?
Well, just a...little coffee, dry toast
and that chalkidiki Balki gave us.
Jennifer, think very carefully.
What kind of toast was it?
Balki, it wasn't the toast.
What's in those chalkidikis?
Cousin, nothing special.
Just, uh, you know
uh, flour, eggs, honey, yeast..
...um, goat spleen..
...aged at room temperature
until it has that little green fur on it.
'Salt and pepper to taste‐‐'
Excuse me.
Little green fur?
Cousin, I know what you're thinking.
You're thinking I should have waited
until the goat spleen fur turned blue
but that's‐that's only what they do
on the south side of Mypos.
‐ It's a regional thing. ‐ No, no, no.
That's not what I'm talking about.
Those chalkidikis made her sick.
I find that hard to believe.
I've been eating them since I was five years old
and they never made me sick..
...un‐unless I have them with milk.
But‐but you don't combine spleen with dairy products.
It's, uh, common knowledge.
What happens if you do?
You wish you were dead.
Ah.
‐ Mary Anne? ‐ Hm?
H‐how do you feel?
I wish I were dead.
Not a good sign, cousin.
Did you have any dairy products this morning?
Just the cream in my coffee.
That would do it.
Jennifer, maybe you should get help
from the flight attendants in first class.
No, Larry, they'll think we can't handle the job
and we'll lose the route.
Hey, don't worry.
I‐I had a glass of milk, and..
...I think that will make me feel better.
Think again.
Ohh!
Cousin, uh, remind me
to put a warning label on any future chalkidikis.
Balki, are they gonna be alright?
Yeah, of course, they're gonna be fine in just a few hours.
But until then, it won't be pretty.
(male #1) 'Hey, what do you have to do to get a drink on this flight?'
Oh, I‐I guess, I better explain to the other passengers.
I'm sure they'll understand.
No, no, no. You can't do that.
Those people don't wanna understand.
All they want is service.
Well, of course, how are they going to get service
with, uh, Jennifer and Marry Anne so sick?
We'll do it ourselves.
‐ What? ‐ Come on.
All we have to do is pass out a few magazines
pour some coffee, heat up a few TV dinners.
‐ Let's go. ‐ Cousin, I‐I want the blue one.
No, it doesn't make any difference.
No, I really want it.
‐ I need the blue‐‐ ‐ Alright. Alright.
Alright. Alright. Here.
'Okay.'
Let's head 'em up..
...and move 'em out.
Maybe this little thing down here is the brake.
[crash]
Yep.
That was it.
Sir, may I interest you in a refreshing beverage?
White Russian.
Oh, my goodness, no, no, no.
Ah, many people make that mistake.
I'm actually an olive skinned Myposian.
Balki, it's a drink.
Oh, that White Russian!
Coming up.
‐ Hup, ho! ‐ Ho!
Ice.
‐ Nice. ‐ Ice.
Nice twice.
‐ Vodka. ‐ Alodka.
Oh, hup.
Ho. Hey.
Kahlua.
For you‐a.
‐ Hup. Ho! ‐ 'Ho!'
Cream.
A dream.
Hup, ho!
Swizzle.
A bizzle.
[all clapping]
I thought you guys were just passengers.
Oh, no, no, no. Uh, we work for the airline.
We're, uh, quality control experts.
Yes, whenever we find quality..
...we try to control it.
Don't go away, anybody.
You don't wanna miss the dinner show.
[applauding]
Balki.
Balki, this is great.
For the first time, I'm helping Jennifer
out of a jam I didn't get her into.
Come on. Let's get the dinners ready.
(Hogan) 'Ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Hogan again.'
'Please fasten your seat belts.'
'It appears, we'll be experiencing'
'a little turbulence.'
Cousin..
...what‐what is turbulence?
Is‐is that regular?
‐ Yes, it is. ‐ Oh, good.
‐ Aah! ‐ Aah!
Yeah.
Is that decaf?
Yes, it is.
‐ Cream or sugar? ‐ Yes, please.
Aah!
Well, the cream is‐is by your left foot
and, uh, the sugar..
...sugar is bad for you.
Hey, you, muck! My baked potato's cold.
Let me heat that up for you.
Will you get these dirty trays?
Dirty trays? We haven't even eaten yet.
‐ Yeah. ‐ Yeah, when are we gonna eat?
I'll‐I'll get your dinners out as fast as I can.
Balki, help me.
Balki, rows 22 through 24 still need their dinners.
and‐and we've got to pick up the trays
from rows 19 through 21.
23a wants a club soda with a twist
and 86 the 7 and 7 on, uh, 26b.
10‐4, cousin.
Listen..
...who gets the veterinarian supper?
‐ Uh, 19c. ‐ Okay.
Oh. Oh. Potato's ready.
‐ Ow! ‐ Oh‐oh, cousin!
‐ Ooh. ‐ Aah! Aah!
Aah! Aah!
Ow. Ow. Ooh. Ooh.
‐ Aah. ‐ Ooh! Aah!
Ow! Ow!
Ow! Ow! Ow!
Thank you.
You, pick up the dirty trays.
I‐I'll fix the rest of the dinners.
Okay.
‐ 'Hey, what's taking so long?' ‐ 'Yeah, what's going on?'
‐ I‐I just.. ‐ Where's my vegetarian meal?
Oh, sir, I‐I know just where it is.
It's in the Mr. microphone oven.
I'll go get it.
‐ There. ‐ 'Hey, hey, hey. Wait!'
Wait a minute, now. They‐they've already eaten.
That should be our food.
It's mine now, buddy.
Alright.
Here‐here you go.
Here you go, sir.
One veterinarian supper.
But this is steak. I'm a vegetarian.
Well, I added that.
Our veterans deserve the best.
There you go.
‐ Thank you. ‐ Yeah.
You promised to get me a brownie, dear.
Well, I think they're out of them, dear.
I want a brownie!
Uh, I think, I can get you an extra brownie.
Thank you.
Why does the broad get an extra brownie?
Broad? Hey, you can't call my bride a broad, buddy.
You wanna step outside?
‐ Yeah. I'd like to. ‐ Well, come on.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Look, I know we're all a little irritable
because we haven't eaten‐‐
Yeah, and it's all your fault.
‐ Yeah, when are we gonna eat? ‐ 'Yeah!'
Let's take over the kitchen.
(all) Yeah.
Cousin, need some help?
Hey, why are you on a coffee break when I'm starving?
Yeah, let's get our own food.
Hold it right there!
One more step, and no movie!
My God!
I think he means it!
What is the movie anyway?
Oh, it's a good one.
"Ernest goes to camp."
Get him!
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Now, just‐just get back, funky cats.
Now, I may be mistaken
but I'm picking up some bad vibes from you people.
You're supposed to be going off to have a nice vacation.
Why aren't you happy and joyful?
Why are you acting like a lunch mob?
Because you're the worst flight attendants we've ever seen.
(all) Yeah!
Well, I got a hot flash for you.
We're not flight attendants at all.
Here are your flight attendants
and they happen to be two of the best in the business.
Unfortunately, at the moment
they're two of the sickest in the business.
Yeah, well, cry me a river.
I paid good money for good service and I'm not getting it.
We understand that.
The only reason we're only doing this
is to help these ladies out.
I mean, if somebody complains
they could lose their jobs.
Look, look, is it‐is it too much to ask
that‐that we all just help out a little ?
Just sit down and be patient
and‐and we'll get to you.
Think about it.
You're fighting over airline food.
Yeah, he's got a point, my brownie was awful.
I thought the Jell‐O was pretty good.
But I'm still hungry.
You know what?
I don't know how‐how Jennifer and Mary Anne
serve dinner at all with the plane bouncing around like this.
(Hogan) 'Ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Hogan again.'
'I think the turbulence is finally behind us.'
'Flight attendants may now begin serving dinner.'
(Balki) 'Girls, I'm glad you're feeling better.'
You know, Jennifer, after trying to do your job
I have a whole new respect for you.
No‐no‐not that I didn't respect you before.
Oh, no. I‐I understand.
Oh, look. Someone left their jacket.
Jennifer, uh..
Although you feel fine now
I‐I‐I got to warn you
that there is one nasty little side effect.
For about a week you're going to have
a very bad reaction to plaid.
[chuckles]
A bad reaction to plaid?
Oh, Balki.
Well, I guess, I'll turn this in to lost and..
