"What we have here is a failure to communicate"

Here is a great example of "Konglish"-someone with poor English attempting to explain something which sounds like they've tried translating with an old dictionary word for word.
Now, normally as long as someone tries their best to communicate, I can get the main gist. When it's an important matter of an airline ticket to Ethiopia and such, I kinda want to know what they are saying. Can you understand what they are trying to say here?! Welcome to my world, ha!ha!
