“One for the Angels” quotes from The Twilight Zone (1959)

And now, the final offer. My very best. What I now present has never been sold any where else in these entirety of the world. I offer...one servant, for all eternity. One man, to travel with you along the cosmos, to entice, to assist in whatever way I can. Because you see, my good sir...I offer you...

Why...it's midnight! It's past midnight and I've missed my appointment!

You realize, of course, that you've reached the terms of our deal.

That's right.

...But it was pretty great, wasn't it?

Yes, it was, Mr. Bookman. One for the angels.

That's right. One for the angels.

Now, come along.

All right, all right. I'm ready...wait.

You never know who may need something up there. Hm? Up there?

Up there, Mr. Bookman. You made it.

Street scene. Summer. The present. Man on a sidewalk named Lew Bookman, age sixtyish. Occupation: pitchman. Lew Bookman, a fixture of the summer. A rather minor component to a hot July. A nondescript, commonplace little man whose life is a treadmill built out of sidewalks. In just a moment Lew Bookman will have to concern himself with survival. Because as of three-o-clock this hot July afternoon, he'll be stalked by...Mr. Death.

Lewis J. Bookman, age sixtyish. Occupation: pitchman. Formerly a fixture of the summer. Formerly a rather minor component to a hot July. But throughout his life, a man beloved by the children...and therefore a most important man. Couldn't happen you say? Probably not in most places, but it did happen...in the Twilight Zone.
