Well, it's no paradise out on that island. Just want to make sure you know what you're in for.
Tom Sherbourne:
All due respect, Mr. Coughlan, it's not likely to be tougher than the Western Front.
Mr. Coughlan:
Oh, you're probably right about that. You pay your own passage to every posting. You're a relief worker so you don't get holidays. I understand you're a single man. No family. So, that's a slight concern. Wouldn't normally send a single man to Janus. It's pretty remote and wife and family can be a great practical help, not just a comfort. But, seeing it's only temporary, you leave for Port Partageuse in two days. From there you'll be shipped off to Janus. Welcome to Commonwealth Lighthouse Service. Proud to have a man who served our country with such distinction amongst our ranks.
