Can You Pick Me Up at the Airport?

I emailed a friend last night to see if he could pick me up at John Wayne Aiport today. His answer, via text, this morning:
'Hit me up when you land. If I'm around I'll come get you. But I may be in L.A. Or with a chick so I can't confirm or promise.'
This made me extremely happy. Really. I'm reading 'A Scanner Darkly' and that is exactly what one of the degenerates in the book would say to one of his friends. 'A Scanner Darkly' is set in Orange County, too.
