Do you remember we were dancing

on the dance floor to that horrible DJ?

Remember how mad you were at me because

I kept taking videos on my cell phone?

I wanted to take videos because...

I wanted our children to see...

how amazing their mother was...

on that night,

in that dress.

You looked beautiful.

I looked blotchy. Irish skin.

Wit, listen to me.

They're going to find you,

and they're going to kill you.

Unless you kill them first.

Kill...

them...

all.

Mike?

Mike? Please tell me where you are.

Tell me you're okay.

I'm fine, I just need

to take a little nap.

Mike, listen...

you're going into hypovolemic shock.

You need to apply pressure

to stop the hemorrhaging.

I'm just a little tired.

- Mike, please.

- I just need to close my eyes.

Don't, Mike. Don't leave me.

My mother used to sing us lullabies.

The Neary family

is notoriously tone-deaf.

Well, hey there, little kiddie.

And welcome to the Little Kiddie Museum.

I'm Ranger Rowdy,

and I'll be your tour guide today

to the wonderful forest

filled with the wonderful animals

we've come to call friends.

Let's get started. What do you say?

Here at the County Forest Preservation,

the state's largest nature preserve,

wildlife feels free to run wild.

The animals kingdom

is filled with different species.

Do you know that some birds of prey

like falcons and owls

can see in the dark?

How cool is that nature, kids?

Remember, little kids, the animal kingdom

is not always a nice place.

Some animals are predators,

some animals are prey.

Out there in the wild,

it's survival of the fittest.

America is bountied with beautiful

and varied species...

...we must protect Mother Nature...

..for the birds and the bears,

this is home.

Mi casa es su casa, kiddies.

Hi, Mom. Yeah, I was just about

to call you.

Yeah... no...

I'm good. Yeah.

I know I have soccer practice.

I'll be home in, like, a couple hours.

Because, Mom, Dad was supposed

to give me a ride home from work,

and now I have to ride my bike, so...

yeah, I'm gonna be a little late.

No, I know. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to make you worry.

I'm fine. I'm totally fine.

Yeah. Yeah. I know.

I'm just... hanging out with my friends.

Yeah. I'll see you at home soon.

I love you, too.
