It's just a slip of tongue in the film at 1:12, isn't?

The man says: "And then "a" older woman came...". Guess it is very common and no big deal for native English speakers, right?
 
I can't watch the clip at the moment but if the person says "a older woman", it's an error. I wouldn't say it's very common and, for some of us, it's a big deal!
 
It isn't a slip of the tongue. It's just that when he says a, he hasn't yet planned exactly which word will follow.
