He sounds like he's not talking directly into the microphone

Are you fucking kidding me?!

---------

I know that voice.

-------

You know my voice, huh? That's great.

He pauses for a moment

Why does this thing say you're JR Sully?

------

A long sigh

That's a long story, Sutton. But that's me, yeah.

Pause

Do you know anything about this place yet?

------

I was here for a while. They told me it was 2148. Then suddenly here I am in 2017. So I don't know what's going on.

I served with JR Sully. Heard he disappeared back in 45.

-----

surprised tone 2148 huh? I'll be damned.

Well that's true enough. The island brought me back a few weeks before the Japs surrendered, just as I was walking into my new duty station. That was about two years ago.

And damn right you served with me. I saved your sorry ass on Cape Gloucester and count yourself lucky you never saw Peleliu . That was even worse than the 'Canal.

-------

Yeah, and there are about 100 Sullys running around this place then. Is this why you never really talked about home back during the war? And why do you sound like a dame?

-----

Only a hundred? We'll probably have that many running around by the time I'm a grandparent at the rate we're all popping out kids. I'm from a big family.

Yeah that's why. I'm island born and raised.

Because right now I am one, damn good looking one too. The island swapped my wife and I on Valentines Day and hasn't switched us back yet.

------

I didn't actually count so there may have been more. And that's just the ones that kept the Sully name.

That explains a lot. At least now I know you weren't a criminal.

If I hadn't already spent time in this place that wouldn't have made any sense to me at all. How about we meet up somewhere and I can see how good looking a dame you are?

------

Mom seems determined to be the Eve of this place, so that doesn't surprise me.

Ha! No, not a criminal. Just someone displaced in Space and Time. But who would have believed me? Better to keep my mouth shut.

That's why I waited, and sure. You can either come out to my place or we can meet at the diner if you know where that is.

------

I can ask the rest of my questions face to face. The diner sounds good. I'm actually close to there. How long will it take you to get there?

-----

I can be there in twenty minutes tops.
