Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD : Next week, we should take my boat, Recovery Room, down to Long Beach. I know a guy there when I was with the Green Berets who can get us a good deal with a hotel room.
Randi : How long were you in the Green Berets?
Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD : Not long. Just over one year.
Randi : Did you see any combat?
Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD : I'm a doctor. I work with my hands. I save people. That's what I am. That's all I wanted to be.
Randi : Tell me Jeff, what was she like?
Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD : Who?
Randi : Colette.
Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD : [confused] Who's Colette?
Randi : You're wife.
Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD : Oh... right. Well... I loved here. She was my high school sweetheart. She was my everything.
Randi : That must have been horrible what you went through. You wife and two children being murdered like that. I can't even imagine...
Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD : [suddenly agitated] Yeah... I really don't want to talk about it.
Randi : I'm sorry. Did I say something?
Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD : [calms down] No... I'm sorry. It's just something I really don't want to talk about or think about.
Randi : Well, what can I do?
Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD : Just be here with me. Just be here. That's all I want.
Randi : Sure. I'm not going anywhere. If there is anything I can do to make you forget about that night, let me know.
Capt. Jeffrey MacDonald, MD : I'll never forget that night. Never.
