"Man this flight to Aukland is long," thought Admiral Rossaroni, as he finished leafing through the in-flight magazine for the fourth time.
As he put down the magazine he looked around the cabin at his fellow passengers. Several rows in front of him was seated a very dapper looking gentleman who was having an argument with the stewardess over how often she was supposed to bring him a fresh gin & tonic. He was saying "every 15 minutes" while she was saying "are you barmy?" He had a kind of George Sanders look to him.
On the other side of the plane the Admiral spotted a man and his young son. The man had a bandage wrapped around his head and was helping his boy play with Legos. And by "helping," I mean he was doing most of it himself. So perhaps the boy was helping his dad play with Legos.
A few rows beyond them, the Admiral spotted a young woman who appearred to be in handcuffs. And, although she was in handcuffs, her hair was magnificently styled, as if she had trained weasels sitting atop her head. She also looked very annoyed.
Just as the Admiral was about to examine some other, ancilliary characters, the plane suddenly started shaking violently. SHAKE! SHAKE! SHAKE! SHAKE! SHAKE! Then part of the cabin ripped off and a few passengers, none of whom were important, were sucked out of the aircraft.
Fade to black.

Forward 6 months: Ben will sneak up on Hurley in his kitchen and the spooked Hurley will "hurl" a Hot Pocket at him. Simmonses everywhere will laugh hysterically.
