The Unit2006

Susan Abernathy:
I have a job to do.

Jonas Blane:
I want you to postpone it.

Susan Abernathy:
Why should I?

Jonas Blane:
[Takes a card from his pocket and writes his number down] Take this card. Hold on to it.

Susan Abernathy:
What is that?

Jonas Blane:
No matter how blessed our lives, how charmed our existence, things still, inevitably, irrevocably, go wrong. Your mother is swindled out of her savings. Your estranged husband runs off with your kids. Your best friend goes on vacation in a foreign land and disappears. Eventually, bad things find us all. You ever hear of the Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free card? This is a Get-Out-of-Hell card. At some point in your life, God forbid, you have no where else to turn, call that number. That is why you are going to postpone your job.

Susan Abernathy:
Two hours.
