00:06Good afternoon, sir. Did you call for a flight attendant?
00:09I did. But had I realized you'd be so cute, I would have called for you much sooner.
00:13How can I assist you today, sir?
00:15You know, I'm just...
00:17I'm really, really, really thirsty. Like, incredibly thirsty.
00:23Well, you can definitely help with that. Would you like some water? Perhaps a soft drink?
00:26You know, I would really like a ginger ale. But after seeing you, I think you might be all the
00:32refreshment I need.
00:34Yes. One ginger ale. I'll be right back with that.
00:36Actually, wait. I'm just messing around with you.
00:40I'm sorry?
00:40I don't really need anything to drink. I saw you earlier walking up and down the aisle, and I was
00:45hoping to get a chance to talk with you.
00:46I'm flattered, sir, but I have other duties I need to focus on right now. If there's nothing I can
00:51actually assist you with, it was lovely to meet you.
00:53Okay, wait, wait, wait. Just hold on a second. Okay, don't leave yet. I...
00:58Yes, sir.
01:01What's your name?
01:02Lindsay, sir.
01:03Lindsay. That's a very beautiful name. Where's it from? Is that...
01:07I'm from California, sir.
01:09California. Hmm. Yeah. You know, I've visited there a couple of times. Beautiful state. And I must say, I never
01:16knew that they made them like you there.
01:18If there's nothing else you need, I really must get going. Other passengers require assistance.
01:23I know. I know. You know, you got duties to worry about, but...
01:28Just could you do me a quick favor before you leave?
01:31How can I help, sir?
01:32I think there might be something wrong with my seat belt. Would you mind helping me figure out how to
01:36buckle it?
01:37I...
01:37It's quite simple, sir. All you need to do is put the metal clip into the latch. Just like that.
01:41I see. I see. But, you know, something you could help me with, though, right? Show me how it's done?
01:48I really don't feel comfortable doing that, sir.
01:50But it's your job to ensure all passengers are safe, right? And everyone's seat belts need to be fasted during
01:56takeoff and landing?
01:57That's true, sir.
01:59Well, then, I'm really going to need some help here. I'm confused with all these different straps and buckles. You
02:06know, it's just so complicated.
02:08I'm sure you can figure it out, sir. Have a pleasant flight.
02:18What a tease.
02:26Excuse me? Is there something I can help you with?
02:29Oh, I'm quite alright. Thank you.
02:32I just noticed how that man was talking to you earlier. The one in 12C. It isn't right.
02:38Unfortunately, it happens all too often in this job, I'm afraid.
02:41That doesn't make it okay. How are you feeling? Are you okay?
02:45I'm alright. I just need a second to compose myself before I go back out there.
02:50Those types of comments. That kind of behavior. It's so alarming and unacceptable. I'm really sorry you had to experience
02:57that.
02:58It's just so hard for me to understand why people find it appropriate to behave that way. Like, they have
03:03some kind of right to make others uncomfortable.
03:05I was a waitress for years. Some of the people who came through that restaurant needed to be put on
03:10a watch list or something.
03:12It was crazy the things they would say. The way they would act.
03:15Exactly. It's the blatant disrespect and disregard for basic human decency that's so appalling.
03:21Well, for what it's worth, you're doing a great job. I really appreciate all your help during this flight. I
03:28hope the rest of it is a little better for you.
03:30Thank you. I really appreciate that more than you know. I think I'm just gonna avoid that particular seat for
03:36the rest of the flight. Have my male co-worker cover it instead.
03:39That's probably for the best. You shouldn't have to deal with that.
03:42Thanks for the chat. Is there anything I can get you before you go back to your seat?
03:46No. I'm fine. Thank you though.
04:00Hey, hey, um...
04:06Excuse me. I... I... Hey!
04:12My God!
04:15Sir, everyone has departed the plane. I must insist that you deplane as well.
04:20Lindsay! Just the woman I wanted to see.
04:23I apologize, but I need to move you along. It really is time to deplane, sir.
04:27You know, I noticed you were actually avoiding me the rest of the flight. Luckily for me, I like someone
04:34who plays a little hard to get.
04:35I wasn't playing at anything, sir. I was doing my job.
04:39Oh, no. I like someone with a little bit of fire as well. A little bit of spark. It's attractive.
04:45I don't interact with customers in this manner, especially when I'm on the clock.
04:49But surely you're off the clock now, right? The flight's over. Everyone's gone.
04:53So why don't we exchange numbers? Maybe I can take you out to dinner, grab a couple of drinks together,
04:59you know? What do you say?
05:00I appreciate that, sir, but I think I'll pass.
05:03You're really just gonna pass up on this?
05:07Do you know who I am?
05:08No, sir. I have no clue who you are.
05:10I'm John Verasco. Okay, surely you've heard of me. I made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. I own Diamond
05:17Eagle Records.
05:18I've never heard of any of that. I'm sorry.
05:21Doesn't matter. The point is, anything you want, I can make happen. Money's no object.
05:27You want to go to Paris? Done. Milan? Easy. Just name it.
05:33I appreciate the offer, but I don't go on dates with passengers. It's a personal policy.
05:40No, I must insist that you get off the plane. What's the rush? We're having such a great conversation here.
05:45I wouldn't really call this a conversation. And at this point, you're obstructing the staff from doing their job.
05:50All right. All right. All right. I get it. But if you change your mind, here's my card.
05:56You know, maybe you can call me tonight. After we've had time to think about it.
06:00I will not be doing that. Just take the card. Go home, Google me, and then make a decision. I
06:07guarantee you'll change your mind.
06:08Sir, please deplane. Now. You know what? Just have a little kiss before I go. Just a small one.
06:15If you do that, I'm going to call the police. Why are you so uptight? You need to learn to
06:19relax a little bit.
06:21Get your hands off of her! What's your problem, lady? This doesn't concern you.
06:25My problem is you. This doesn't concern you. Wrong. It absolutely concerns me.
06:31You know, I don't know what psych ward you stumbled out of, but this is none of your business, okay?
06:36So get off the plane and stop interrupting us.
06:38I'm not going anywhere until you leave this poor woman alone.
06:42We were just flirting around, okay? Having a little fun time. No harm in that.
06:46Your flirting seemed a lot more like harassment to me. And I've been watching you this entire flight.
06:53You know, you wish someone would harass you like this.
06:55Judging from the looks of you, no one's flirted with you in a very long time.
06:59No woman ever wants to be talked to the way you've been talking to her.
07:03The things you've said, the way you've treated this lady, it's deplorable.
07:08You should be ashamed of yourself.
07:10You know, I don't really care about the opinions of some nobody, okay?
07:13I'm John Verasco, CEO of Diamond Eagle Records. That means I can do whatever I want.
07:17Oh, I know all about you and who you are, but not because of your little title.
07:24What are you talking about?
07:25I actually know your family very well. Your sister and I were roommates in college.
07:30That's the most ridiculous coincidence I've ever heard. You're lying.
07:33I'm not lying. And you're supposed to be a CEO.
07:36That's funny, because I know that position was just handed to you by your mother.
07:41We were talking about it with your sister over brunch just last week.
07:45Okay, so maybe you know my sister. Great, who cares?
07:48Maybe you should care. Because I recorded your entire interaction with Lindsay.
07:54Every word, every gesture.
07:56You what?
07:57I recorded it. And I'm not only sending it to your sister, I'm also putting it online for everyone to
08:02see.
08:03No, you can't do that.
08:04I already have. Posted it five minutes ago. Good luck keeping that fancy job after this.
08:09You can't cancel me. I'll have my lawyers scrub that video from the internet.
08:15We'll see what happens. The internet is forever, they say. Now get out of here.
08:20This isn't over.
08:21Yes, it is. Leave. Now.
08:27I'm so sorry that happened to you. Are you okay?
08:30It's okay. And thank you. Thank you so much for standing up for me like that.
08:34Of course. The way he was behaving was completely unacceptable and gross.
08:39The lack of basic human decency was staggering.
08:43Men like that need to start facing consequences for their actions. Real consequences.
08:48Absolutely. Things like this have gone unchecked for far too long.
08:52People with money and power thinking they can treat others however they want.
08:56Are you sure you're okay? Do you need anything?
08:59I'll be okay. Thank you again for everything. You didn't have to do that.
09:02Yes, I did. We all need to look out for each other. That's how things change.
09:07You're absolutely right.
09:09And look at that. The video already has over a thousand views. Comments are coming in and people are not
09:16happy with Mr. Verasco.
09:18Good. Maybe he'll think twice before treating someone like that again.
09:21Maybe. Oh, I doubt it. But at least now there's evidence. His sister is going to have a field day
09:28with this.
09:29Thank you for being brave enough to speak up. A lot of people just look the other way.
09:34That needs to stop. We can't be bystanders anymore. Not when we see something wrong happening right in front of
09:40us.
09:41I didn't catch your name. Margaret. Margaret Thompson.
09:44Well, Margaret, you made my day so much better. Thank you.
09:49You're very welcome, Lindsay. Take care of yourself, okay?
09:51I will. You too.
09:53And hey, keep being professional and kind even when others aren't. The world needs more people like you.
09:59Thank you. That means a lot.
10:08Good riddance.
10:12Good riddance.
10:14Good riddance.
