This episode is called “Reporting Damaged Luggage.” “Luggage” is what you use to carry your clothing and other things when you go on a trip. Let’s get started.

Clerk: Next. How can I help you?

Clerk: What’s the problem?
Jordan: The handle is broken and I think someone has gone through my bag.
Clerk: That was probably security.
