“The steward comes over and says, 'Hey, one of our passengers would love it if you turned off the sound machine.' And I'm sitting there thinking, 'Oh my God.'
“And I feel Tom say, 'Hey, ask the passenger if she wants to hold our screaming child while we turn it off.' And I mean, the ice was running through his veins.”
“By the way, I couldn't believe it, she asked us to turn it off!” she added.
“We were so angry. Then we landed and it was the woman right in front of us. And so we stand up and she says, “Oh, so your daughter knows how to smile.”
“At that moment I understood why women end up on Dateline,” she hilariously explained.
Kaley then added, “I could have thrown that woman off the plane.”

“I knew our flight was coming. I thought, “Oh my God. How are you going to do that?” …I said, “Do you want to watch TV and watch TV for the child?”
“She was like, ‘Oh no. We don't allow our child to watch TV yet. “And I thought Matilda just watched the first season of Succession last week,” Kaley said as Jimmy burst out laughing.
“I thought, ‘Okay, so shouldn’t we do this?’ I don’t understand. I am not joking. “We saw the final.”

“I told her the show was over, she cried,” Kaley said. “I think I do the exact opposite of what people do.”
