"Tempting as I'm sure it is," he says, turning to give the island a critical look-over-- it is not at all tempting, if you ask him-- "I doubt they'll simply hand the place over to you. It isn't terribly homelike, at any rate."

He is also fairly sure that whoever sent them here won't care to hear that he let his companion decide to stay behind on The Lonely Island, Doll Edition here. There's little reason to want to live on an unfortunate little island like this to begin with... or maybe he's just developed higher standards after the places he's known.
