Sam: That was your husband on the phone there, Carla.
Carla: Why was he calling you?
Sam: Well, he's upset. He wanted me to ask you, find out why, you know, you won't go see him.
Carla: How can l, Sam? I can't afford a plane ticket to Seattle.
Sam: Well, now I could loan you the money.
Carla: Great. But who could get the time off?
Rebecca: If it's for the sake of your marriage, I'm sure we could work something out. If you'd like to take a leave of absence for say, a year, that would be fine.
