HIGH SPIRITS,
MMMMMM........I ponder prior to initiating my first response to this forum, or any other for that matter, (virginity has a shelf life), you indeed point out a valid example of "thank my lucky stars I never had to fly with him!"
However, remembering vivdly my own impression of that particular scene and taking into account my own experience soon after that series was televised up until the present, I can only conclude (with the very odd exception) that this was an unfortunate editing job aimed at creating a confrontational and pressure driven impression far removed from reality (well the frustration can really bubble over I know and few well placed snippets can form a strong impression).
