Perhaps it was lost in translation? I understand what they tried to say in this dialog, but it's unusual and sounds weird in everyday conversation. Perhaps the writer meant: Julie: Hey, yeah. Come in. James: You guys made me ask (to get) off (from work) an hour early to see this dump?

It means to ask to leave (typically work) an hour early.

Hi

I'm wondering, did you hear "ask off" or did the caption say that?... I think James said: You guys made me TAKE off an hour early to see this dump?
