but until then, drink

everything we got here.

Yeah, yeah,

come here, come here.

Oh, sweet boy.

I'm sorry.

Daddy's gotta go do

some work, okay?

I'll see you soon.

I'll see you soon.

Bye, sweetie.

I just... I wish they were

more appropriate to your standards.

I think it's...

- Joe!

- Hey.

Joe, I'm so excited you're here.

Look at...

This is great, hey.

You just caught us

at cocktail hour.

You cleaned up.

Yeah, it's... well, we got a big

couple weeks coming up, huh?

Yeah.

Come on, come meet everybody.

Joe, this is my mom.

This is Perry.

Oh, Mr. McGinniss.

Nice to meet you.

And this is...

This is Bernie Segal,

our fearless leader.

Bernie has been my guy

since the beginning.

Is that right?

Uhh, Bernie, nice to meet you.

I've heard about your work

with the war protestors.

Good to have you with us.

You can help us with

the public face of all this.

We sure hope so.

And Joe, this is Wade Smith,

attorney at law.

Very nice to meet you.

Thank Wade's college

connections for landing us here

at this frat house.

Guilty as charged.

Yeah.

It's not ideal,

but it's a lot more

private than a hotel would be.

Wade, I told you

He was gonna be here.

Yes.

Yes, you did.

Let me guess.

Scotch and soda?

What soda?

That's what I like to hear.

Mom?

You know, it's funny being back

on a college campus.

Colette and I got married

when I was in Princeton.

Really?

When was the first time

you met Colette?

That's crazy,

but I was 12 years old.

12, if you can believe it.

It took a few more years

to fall in love.

Sha la la la la la

Are you nervous?

No.

Well, maybe.

Mm-hmm.

Hello, hello.

Welcome.

Merry Christmas.

Look at you.

Oh!

Mrs. Kassab, how are you?

Merry Christmas to you.

Where's your coat?

We didn't think it was

gonna be so cold.

It's freezing.

And this is...

This is the two of you.

Mm-hmm, saying goodbye.

And this one is you, as well.

Yes, that's me right out

of officer's school,

and the one above is after

a few months in Europe.

Wow.

So, how's Princeton?

Hard work.

Heck of a nice campus,

just beautiful.

Ta-da!

Dinner is served.

Oh, my, my, my.

Look at that Turkey.

It's heavy.

Freddy was actually

Colette's stepfather,

but Colette absolutely

adored Freddy.

She never called him

anything but dad,

and when she decided

that she loved me,

and I was part of the family,

Freddy absolutely

welcomed me in.

About you

sha la la la la

They say they say you never,

never, never, never been true

Oh, thank you.

Is that a curtsy?

Doesn't matter

what they say I know

I'm gonna love you

any old way what can I do

When it's true

don't want nobody,

Nobody 'cause baby,

it's you

Baby, it's you

Baby, it's you

What is it about her?

She was the nicest

person I ever met.

All right, I have

a surprise for you?

What?

What are you doing?

Come on.

Keep your eyes closed.

Careful.

Don't peek.

Okay, you stay right here.

Keep your eyes closed.

What did you do?

Okay, open 'em.

Oh, my god.

What do you think

of that beauty?

This must have cost a fortune.

Jeff, you can't keep

doing things like this.

I love watching you get excited.

Can I play it?

Of course.

This is all yours, babe.

We were a good team.

You know, we knew how to

take care of the girls

and give each other

the space we needed, too.

How'd you do that,

have your own space?

Colette, she never

finished college,

and she started getting

interested in psychology,

child development classes.

So she did that a couple

of nights a week,

and I'd take care of the girls.

All right.

Daddy.

For you.

For you.

Mm.

Thank you, daddy.

Okay. Bye, girls.

I love you.

Bye, sweetie.

Have fun.

Yeah, I love you.

But it's too late

Too late to cry

all right,

who's gonna want

another hot dog?

Me!

Me!

What'd you do for space?

I got into boxing.

Boxing?

Yeah.

Okay, Joe Frazier.

Hardly.

I was the doctor

for the base boxing team.

I caught the bug and started

training with them.

They were getting

ready for this...

This big competition in Russia.

It was a big trip.

I'd be gone for about a month.

Colette was gonna let you

go to Russia for a month.

Yeah.

She was all for it.

Really my biggest concern

was making weight for the match.

I didn't want to look

like a joker

in front of the younger guys.

I remember that afternoon.

I came home from work,

and it was a 24-hour shift

in an off-base E.R.

I was firing on all cylinders.

- Hello.

- Daddy!

I felt like a superhero,

you know?

And it happened

later that night.

Some superhero.

Mr. McGinniss?

Joe.

Okay.

Joe.

Umm, when Jeffrey packed up

the house at fort Bragg,

I held onto some

of the family things.

It's some old home movies.

Anything I can take

a look at helps.

I know you're busy,

but please watch these

so that you can really see my

granddaughters and our family.

They were beautiful.

That was a day

I'll never forget.

So sorry.

I can...

I can watch this later.

No, no, it's okay.

Umm, where did you get these?

Your mother.

Please, go ahead.

I want to see them.

You sure?

Yeah.

So that's Kristen?

Yeah, I remember the first time

we brought her home.

All Kimberly wanted to do

was hold her.

She really just wanted

to pinch her.

She was so jealous.

And that day, wow.

That was a great day.

Colette and I took the girls

to visit their pony.

I think that was the first time

Kristen was ever on a horse.

How long was this

before the night they died?

It'd be a month before they

died, maybe not even.

How many kids do you have, Joe?

Me, I have four.

I have a little boy

named Matthew with my wife

and three from

a previous marriage.

How often do you

get to see them?

Umm...

Not as much as I'd like.

I met Nancy while I was

still married, so...

I try, but...

Trust me.

Spend as much time

with them as you can.

Okay.

Umm, you want to tell me

what happened that night?

The night they died?

Sure.

One of the girls had wet

my side of the bed.

It was late.

Thought it'd be easier

to sleep in the living room

than change the sheets.

Dad, why are they

doing this to me?

This is groovy.

Kill the pigs.

Daddy!

Acid rain.

Daddy!

Colette?

Okay.

Oh, god.

No, no.

Come on.

Come on.

Oh, god.

Oh, god, no.

Help me.

Oh, god.

No.

No, no, no, no.

No.

Emergency services.

I need an ambulance.

544 castle drive.

Is that on or off coast?

544 castle drive.

Help. Hurry.

I was probably in shock.

I didn't realize at the time,

but when they examined me

later at the hospital,

one of my lungs

was partially collapsed.

You know, Colette was pregnant.

Ms. MacDonald?

Just... I wanted to thank you

for the home movies.

You were right, they were

a beautiful family.

Did you see the one with Colette

leaving the hospital

with Kristen?

I did, yeah.

That must have been

a special day.

Didn't Jeffrey tell you

what happened?

No, He didn't tell me

what happened.

Jeffrey was at the hospital

with Colette
