A night at 'The 711 Club,' an advergame

I think I see a familiar face in the crowd. I approach, blurting out a convoluted question about the nearest airport (get me outta here!) and concern for my heart condition. "You flatter me, but I don't think we've met," says the man introducing himself as Charles. Hmmm, I don't know a Charles ...
Suddenly, a burst of fire sets forth inside me. "LET'S DANCE!" I yell. Staggering out onto the dance floor, I am a man possessed. My feet are arrow keys, the beat falling blocks. I can do this!
"I know I've just met you, but I feel as though we've been dancing for all of eternity," Charles gushes. Eternity? Wait a minute, am I in ... "LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" I cry. Then everything goes black.
I awake to the piercing bleep-bleep-bleep of my alarm clock. It was all a dream. It's 7:11 and there's a hot, steaming Brazilian on my bedside table. Just what I need: a cup of coffee.

That's an anagram for "Stealthy comfortable slick dames.", in case you were curious. And I know you were.

That was the first thing I saw. I hate this. I'm reading a book and suddenly all that interests me are typos.

What if she didn't have a nice booty? Than you would feel bad for plundering it.

At first I read that as "A Night at "The 700 Club"".
I would only want to shoot lasers at Pat Robertson. Not as him.
