:26:00
early enough to get
a boarding pass.
:26:02
But our boarding passes
are ticket folders.
:26:05
l know.
:26:06
l go to a counter and say l've
lost mine and need another one.
:26:11
The clerks are busy,
and lots of people are waiting.
:26:14
They always give me one.
:26:17
lt's just a blank folder.
lt isn't made out as a pass.
:26:21
l do that myself
in the ladies room.
:26:24
l know just what to write.
:26:26
l carry one of these black
pencils like the airlines use.
:26:30
-See?
-Yes, l do.
:26:31
l'll keep that
if you don't mind.
:26:33
lt's really mine,
but if you want it,
:26:36
l can get another one.
:26:39
So now you have a boarding pass.
What then?
:26:42
Then l go to the departure gate.
:26:44
-Coffee?
-No, thank you.
:26:46
l wait till the man
checking tickets is busy.
:26:49
Then l walk past
and onto the plane.
:26:51
Do you hear that, Mr. Coakley?
:26:54
No one stops you,
not even the stewardesses?
:26:56
lf you get on late,
:26:58
they're hanging up coats
and talking to the men,
:27:01
and l just show them my folder
quickly, you see, like--
:27:06
l'll keep that, too.
:27:08
But l'm sure you don't always
use a boarding pass.
:27:12
No. Sometimes l tell them
that my son has gone aboard...
:27:15
but he dropped his wallet.
:27:17
l carry a man's wallet
in my hand...
:27:21
[Closes clasp]
:27:23
That works best of all.
:27:25
l must say, Mrs. Quonsett,
:27:27
you have everything
figured out very carefully.
:27:30
My late husband taught me
to be thorough.
:27:32
He was a teacher of geometry.
:27:39
My late husband was a lawyer,
and he always said,
:27:46
Now l understand what he meant.
:27:48
You're a widow, too.
:27:49
Oh, l'm sorry, my dear,
:27:51
but you're young and attractive,
and l'm sure--
:27:54
Let's confine the conversation
to you, Mrs. Quonsett.
:27:57
We're sending you back to
Los Angeles on the next flight.
