H-how did you find me?

I just came here to tell you

I'll do it.

I'm gonna come

to north Carolina.

That's fantastic.

Listen, I'm gonna need

two things.

I want full access

and full freedom

to write according

to my own judgment.

I'm going to ask you

some tough questions,

and you might not

like me very much.

Dr. MacDonald?

Absolutely.

We can... we can go over

all the details

and travel, all that, tomorrow.

Good.

Hey, they're throwing me

a send-off party.

You have to promise me to come.

Sure.

I like you already, Joe.

Yeah, everyone.

It means the world

that you're here.

One more, please.

Yeah.

May I have

everyone's attention, please?

Jeff, it goes without saying

how much we all believe in you,

but to show you just

how much we love you,

we got you a little something.

Well, you shouldn't have.

All right, this...

Oh, my goodness.

Here.

Huh?

Thank you.

And thank you all for coming.

Wow, it means the world to me.

I'm sure I'll be back here

in a couple of weeks,

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,
