WORDS & CONTEXT

Words & context

“You're all set.”

All set means completely ready or finished with a procedure. You're all set. is a standard way for airport staff to tell a passenger that everything is complete.

“Look, I still have your gift.” / “You kept it.”

Still means even now, and kept is the past tense of keep (to hold on to). Frank is showing the souvenir Tina gave him in A1-51. Tina's it also refers to that souvenir: "You kept it."

“Walk me to gate four first.” / “I'm not ready for gate five.”

Walk someone to a place means to walk with someone until they reach a place, and first means before anything else. Not ready for ... means not prepared for something; here, emotionally. Tina knows her gate is number five, but reaching it means saying goodbye to Frank, so she wants to delay a little by going to gate four first.
