[in a flashback, General Campbell talks to Elisabeth Campbell about her rape at West Point]
Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: [General Campbell sits over Elisabeth's hospital bed, staring into her bruised and beaten face] Daddy loves you... and he's so proud of you. Shh. Rest now. Try not to think about it anymore.

[General Campbell then kisses Elisabeth's forehead as she tries to turn her head away]
Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: [in the present] Not my finest hour.
