"RARE CANCER SEEN IN 41 HOMOSEXUALS.
OUTBREAK OCCURS AMONG MEN IN NEW YORK--"
- "AND CALIFORNIA. EIGHT DIED INSIDE TWO YEARS." - SECOND PARAGRAPH.
"THE CAUSE OF THE OUTBREAK IS UNKNOWN, AND THERE IS YET--"
"NO EVIDENCE OF CONTAGION.
"BUT THE DOCTORS WHO HAVE MADE THE DIAGNOSIS, CONTAGION ?
"MOSTLY IN THE NEW YORK CITY AND SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA...
"ARE ALERTING OTHER PHYSICIANS WHO TREAT LARGE NUMBERS OF HOMOSEXUAL MEN TO THE PROBLEM,
"IN AN EFFORT TO HELP IDENTIFY MORE CASES...
AND TO REDUCE THE DELAY IN OFFERING CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT."
COME ON, PLEASE.
"THE SUDDEN APPEARANCE OF THE CANCER, CALLED... LOOK.
KAPOSI'S SARCOMA--" I'M GONNA HAVE TO HEAR THE REST OF THIS LATER.
OH. OKAY ? I'M SORRY.
I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU TOO.
HAVE YOU HEARD THIS ?
WHERE WERE YOU ? OUTSIDE.
"THE SPOTS GENERALLY DO NOT ITCH OR CAUSE OTHER SYMPTOMS,
"OFTEN CAN BE MISTAKEN FOR BRUISES,
"SOMETIMES APPEAR AS LUMPS...
AND CAN TURN BROWN AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME." [ Gasps ] WHAT'S THIS ?
YOU GOT A BRUISE ON YOUR NECK.
"THE CANCER OFTEN CAUSES SWOLLEN LYMPH GLANDS...
AND THEN KILLS BY SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE BODY. DOCTORS--"
"INVESTIGATING THE OUTBREAK BELIEVE THAT MANY CASES HAVE GONE UNDETECTED...
"BECAUSE OF THE RARITY OF THE CONDITION...
AND THE DIFFICULTY EVEN DERMATOLOGISTS MAY HAVE IN DIAGNOSING IT."
IS THAT IT ? IT GOES ON TO-- WELL, YOU CAN READ IT.
IT'S PROBABLY FROM USING POPPERS, I BET. THANK YOU, WILLY.
I'M SERIOUS. YES, I CAN SEE THAT YOU ARE.
"MOST CASES INVOLVE HOMOSEXUAL MEN...
"WHO HAVE HAD MULTIPLE AND FREQUENT SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS WITH DIFFERENT PARTNERS,
"AS MANY AS TEN SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS EACH NIGHT, UP TO FOUR TIMES A WEEK.
OOOH !
"MANY OF THE PATIENTS HAVE ALSO BEEN TREATED FOR VIRAL INFECTIONS--
PROBABLY FROM EXERCISING TOO MUCH, IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH. THINK ABOUT IT.
"SUCH AS HERPES, CY-CYTOM-- [ Mumbling ]
"AND HEPATITIS B, AS WELL AS PARASITIC INFECTIONS, WHAT WAS THAT ?
MANY OF THESE GUYS HAVE HAD OTHER INFECTIONS, THAT'S ALL.
"SUCH AS AMEBI-- AMOEBAS.
"AND GIAR-- GIARDIASIS.
"MANY PATIENTS ALSO REPORT THAT THEY HAD USED DRUGS SUCH AS AMYL NITRITE,
SEE ? "AND L.S.D. TO HEIGHTEN SEXUAL PLEASURE.
"THE CANCER IS NOT BELIEVED TO BE CONTAGIOUS. WHAT IS THIS "CONTAGIOUS" ?
THIS IS LIKE THE C.I.A. TRYING TO SCARE US OUT OF HAVING SEX.
"BUT CONDITIONS THAT MIGHT PRECIPITATE IT, SUCH AS PARTICULAR VIRUSES,
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS, MIGHT ACCOUNT FOR AN OUTBREAK AMONG--"
I WANNA THANK YOU FOR THIS, FUZZ. IT'S BEEN A NICE WAY TO WAKE UP, REALLY.
THEY THINK IT'S POPPERS. GREAT.
YOU DON'T USE THAT MANY POPPERS.
WELL, LISA CALLED. THOUGHT MAYBE YOU'D WANNA FIND OUT.
THIS IS BULLSHIT. I'M SORRY. I HATE THE NEW YORK TIMES.

LOOK, I WASN'T EVEN THINKING ABOUT THAT, I SWEAR.
WELL, YOU HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT MUCH, HAVE YOU ? YOU KNOW SOMETHING, MARK ?
YOU SEEN THIS ? SHH.
YOU HAVE A KNACK FOR BEHAVING BADLY. SOME MIGHT EVEN SAY A TALENT FOR IT.
YOU'RE GONNA WANNA SEE THIS, BELIEVE ME.
WHAT ? STORY LINE FOR AUGUST.
I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT. WELL, YOU WON'T LIKE THE SOUND OF WHAT ELSE I HAVE TO TELL YOU.
HUH ? WHAT ? WHY ? ARE THEY KILLING ME OFF OR SOMETHING ?
[ Chuckling ]
[ Laughing ] OH, GOD, I THINK IT'S GREAT, DON'T YOU ?
[ Exhales ] COME ON.
I THINK IT'D BE FUN. DAYTIME SOAP'S FIRST--
FIRST BUTCH GAY PERSON ON TV.
YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE. WHAT ? THAT YOU'RE THE FIRST ?
ARE YOU SERIOUS ? YOU THINK YOU'RE NOT MASCULINE ?
[ Grunts ] THEY PEG YOU INTO PLAYING THOSE PARTS.
"OH, HE'S THAT GUY WHO PLAYED THE HOMO." SO ?
"I DON'T THINK HE'S RIGHT FOR THIS. HE'S A LITTLE LIGHT, DON'T YOU THINK ?"
IT'S FINE FOR SOMEBODY LIKE, I MEAN, FOR BILL HURT TO PLAY A FAG.
I HATE THAT WORD. EVERYBODY KNOWS HE'S STRAIGHT.
A HOMOSEXUAL. EXCUSE ME.
KAREN HASN'T HAD AN OFFER SINCE SHE DID THAT FILM.
I KNOW. SHE HASN'T EVEN BEEN OFFERED A PLAY.
WELL... IT WAS A LOUSY MOVIE.
...A SLIM CHANCE THAT MY MEDICINE WILL DO HIM ANY GOOD.
THIS IS NOT JUST AN OLD HEAD.
THIS IS PRINCE AHMED OF ANCIENT EGYPT.
AND SEAN GOT SO PLUGGED IN ABOUT ALL OF THIS SHIT.
[ Sighs, Chuckles ] YOU KNOW, HE F--
HE FOUND A SPOT ON HIS LEG ABOUT THIS BIG AROUND.
TURNED OUT TO BE RINGWORM. WHAT'S THAT ?
OH, I DON'T KNOW. YOU PUT CREAM ON IT, IT GOES AWAY.
OH, BUT THE DOCTOR DID SAY HE THOUGHT MAYBE ALL OF THIS HAD...
SOMETHING TO DO WITH OVEREXPOSURE TO THE SUN.
BECAUSE GAYS SPEND SO MUCH-- OH, WAIT.
I'M SORRY. EXCUSE ME.
I'M A FRIEND OF JOHN DEACON'S, AND WE WERE WONDERING IF WE COULD FIND OUT...
SOMETHING ABOUT HIS PROGNOSIS, OR-- JOHN DEACON ?
YEAH. I'M SORRY.
I WILL BE RIGHT WITH YOU. WHY DON'T YOU GO IN THERE AND HAVE A SEAT.
IS THE MAN WITH PNEUMONIA ? THAT'S RIGHT.
WELL, WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR FRIEND. MM-HMM.
HE'S VERY, VERY SICK RIGHT NOW.
WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM YET,
BUT HE DOES DEFINITELY HAVE PNEUMONIA IN BOTH LUNGS.
HE DOES ? OH.
HIS BLOOD GASES-- OR THE LEVEL OF OXYGEN IN HIS BLOOD-- IS VERY LOW.
WE'RE WAITING FOR A BED TO OPEN UP IN THE I.C.U.
BUT THE NEXT FEW HOURS, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.
IF HE CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE,
HE MAY REQUIRE BEING PUT IN A MECHANICAL VENTILATOR. MM-HMM.
AND WE MAY ALSO HAVE TO TAKE A BIOPSY OF HIS LUNG TISSUE.
BUT, DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING--
I MEAN, IS HE HAVING ANY TROUBLE WITH HIS IMMUNE SYSTEM OR ANYTHING ?
IT'S A POSSIBILITY, YES. BUT WE'LL KNOW MORE IN A COUPLE OF HOURS.
AND I ALWAYS THINK IT'S BEST TO TAKE THIS SORT OF THING ONE BIT AT A TIME.
RIGHT. WELL--
OKAY, THANKS. THAT'S-- THANK YOU.
I'M SORRY I CAN'T BE MORE--
NO, THAT'S GREAT.
SHE WOULD'VE SAID IT IF THEY WERE SURE.
MAYBE HE GOES TO THE BATHS ALL THE TIME AND DOESN'T TELL ANYBODY.
[ Sighs ] I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW ANYTHING.
I CERTAINLY DON'T THINK EVERYBODY'S GONNA DIE WHO GETS IT. DO YOU ?
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE CRYSTAL ROOM IS PROUD TO PRESENT...

[ Continues ] HI.
WHAT'S THE MATTER ?
WHAT'S WRONG ?
JOHN'S IN THE HOSPITAL. I'VE BEEN THERE ALL DAY.
WHY IS HE IN THE HOSPITAL ?
HE HAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIS IMMUNE SYSTEM. HOW WAS WASHINGTON ?
OH, CHRIST.
ARE YOU SURE ? ARE THEY SURE ?
NO. BUT... PROBABLY.
HI.
YOU TALKED TO THE DOCTORS ? I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THE WAY THEY RUN THIS PLACE.
"OH, I'M SORRY, WE DON'T HAVE BLANKETS HERE IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM."
WAIT. GOOD IDEA.
TWENTY-EIGHT HOURS HE WAITED FOR A BED.
THEY'RE MORE WORRIED ABOUT HIS FUCKING INSURANCE,
WHICH, OF COURSE, HE DOESN'T HAVE !
THEN THEY DON'T EVEN TELL HIM WHAT THEY'VE TOLD ME AND DAVID. DID HE CALL DAVID ?
"DON'T BE WORRIED. I'M SURE IT'S NOT THAT."
"NOT WHAT ?" HE SAYS.
IT'S PNEUMONIA.
HE'S ON A-A... RESPIRATOR.
DON'T REGULAR PEOPLE GET PNEUMONIA ? HE DIDN'T FUCKING CALL ME.
HE'S BEEN SICK FOR WEEKS FROM THE WAY HE LOOKS. DAVID'S BEEN CALLING HIM.
CALM DOWN. HE DOESN'T PICK UP THE PHONE.
DID YOU, UH, GET YOUR CONTRACTS ALL SETTLED ?
I'M SO SORRY.
IT'S JUST NOT FUCKING FAIR.
IT'S NOT FAIR !

MY LIFE, AS IT HAS BEEN LIVED, WITH DIGNITY.
[ Chuckling ] [ Lisa ] YES, YES.
[ Sean ] NO. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. YES, HE DOES.
OH, MY GOD, I THINK THAT'S-- DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S BRILLIANT ?
NO. I DO. WHAT ?
THAT'S WHY HE'S SO POPULAR. NO, E.T. WELL, IT COULD BE. REAGAN ?
NO, WHY EVERYBODY LOVES REAGAN-- HE LOOKS LIKE E.T. YOU'VE SPOILED EVERYTHING.
LISTEN TO THIS. E.T. SPOILED EVERYTHING ?
THIS IS A GREAT POLITICAL ANALYSIS. RONALD REAGAN.
RONALD REAGAN SPOILED E.T. ? LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS UNREAL.
THAT'S WHY WE LOVE HIM SO. WE THINK HE'S AN ALIEN.
[ Imitating Crying ] DOES THAT MEAN YOU CAN'T GO SEE HIM NOW FOR THE 55th TIME ?
REALLY ? FIFTY-FIVE ? HE IDENTIFIES WITH HIM.
I DO. SOMETHING ABOUT THE--
WHY DON'T YOU PUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON YOUR SHOW ? AN ALIEN.
OH, WOULDN'T THAT BE WONDERFUL ? JUST BRING IN A SCRIPT.
HAVE ONE SHOW UP IN GROVERS CORNERS OR WHATEVER IT'S CALLED.
CENTRAL FALLS. [ Lisa ] I'M SORRY. I SHOULD KNOW THAT.
[ Sean ] WHY ? CENTRAL FALLS. OH, BECAUSE I USED TO LOVE SOAPS.
THAT'S TRUE. I CAN VOUCH FOR IT.
LISA USED TO CUT CLASSES IN SEVENTH GRADE JUST TO WATCH GENERAL HOSPITAL.
WE LIVED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE SCHOOL. [ Fuzzy ] OH, IT WAS GREAT.
ANYTIME YOU JUST WANTED TO CUT CLASSES AND TAKE A BREAK. [ Lisa ] HAVE A GIN AND TONIC.
- MY MOTHER ADOPTED YOU. - REALLY ?
SHE DIDN'T QUITE KNOW WHAT SHE WAS GETTING.
BUT, NO, IT'S TRUE. I KNEW EVERY PLOT LINE TO EVERY SOAP FOR SIX YEARS RUNNING.
THAT'S HOW I KNOW ALL ABOUT LIFE. I LOVED SOAPS. WELL--
STILL, I DON'T EXPECT EVERYBODY TO FOLLOW...
ALL THE UNHAPPY LIVES OF ALL THE DENIZENS OF CENTRAL FALLS...
JUST BECAUSE I HAVE TO.
I WISH I COULD.
WHO IS THAT ?
I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I NEVER GET TO WATCH.
YOU KNOW, START, PLEASE.
A LOT OF PEOPLE'S WORK LIVES GET IN THE WAY OF THEIR TV VIEWING.
UH-HUH. IT'S A REAL PROBLEM.
YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE FIRST PERSON-- I HAVE TO SAY, THOUGH,
THAT'S THE FIRST PERSON I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME.
WHO ? OR HEARD ABOUT.
- THAT GUY. - A GUY WITH K.S. JUST WALKED BY.
THIS LOOKS GREAT, DAVID. I THINK IT'S--
YOU KNOW ? DOESN'T IT SEEM THAT WAY ?
[ Lisa ] LIKE IT'S GOING AWAY ? LIKE IT'S RUN ITS COURSE, OR IT'S STARTING TO.
DO YOU READ THE NEWSPAPERS... EVER ? NO.
I MEAN, GAY PEOPLE. OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STILL GETTING IT.
MAYBE. I'VE-- ONE THING I'VE NOTICED--
IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING SICK,
THEY-THEY SEEM LIKE A PARTICULAR MIND-SET.
SELF-DESTRUCTIVE, YOU KNOW ? A LOT OF DRUGS, A LOT OF SEX.
I'M NOT PUTTING DOWN DRUGS OR SEX, WHICH HAVE PLAYED SUCH AN INTEGRAL PART IN MY LIFE.
BUT I JUST DON'T THINK YOU CAN ABUSE A BODY FOR THAT LONG...
WITHOUT PAYING SOME PRICE.
IT'S A VIRUS. I KNOW IT'S A VIRUS.
BUT SO WAS THE BLACK PLAGUE AND NOT EVERYBODY GOT THAT.
NOT EVERYBODY WAS BITTEN BY FLEAS. NO, IT'S NOT JUST THAT.
IT'S WANTING TO LIVE. LOVING YOURSELF, YOU KNOW ?
...CLOSE AS A BLADE, OR YOUR MONEY BACK. HERE WE GO ! HURRY UP !
THE FIRST SCREEN SHAVES IT INCREDIBLY CLOSE, THE SECOND EVEN CLOSER.
THE REMINGTON MICRO-SCREEN SHAVES AS CLOSE AS A BLADE, OR I'LL GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK.
- TOMMY. - YES ?
I HAVE, UH-- I HAVE SOMETHING TO ASK YOU. WHAT ?
I FEEL A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT IT. WHAT ?
I HEARD A RUMOR. I'M SURE IT'S JUST-- IT'S JUST THAT.
WELL, TELL ME, FOR GOD'S SAKE.
THEY CAN SAY "GOD'S SAKE" NOW ?
IT'S ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE IN SCHOOL. [ Crunching ]
SHH ! AN UNDERGRADUATE.
ABOUT MARK ?
YES.
WHO WERE YOU TALKING TO ? DON'T TELL ME. MARK, MAYBE ?
AND WHAT WAS THE BIG DISH ? DISH ?
SOUND A LITTLE FEY, THE WORD ? [ Bob ] WHOA !
I JUST CAME FROM HIS OFFICE. I HAD TO TALK TO HIM ABOUT THE TRIAL.
I NEVER EXPECTED--
I JUST WASN'T PREPARED TO HEAR THOSE WORDS.
AND THE IDEA OF YOU TWO TOGETHER--
AMERICA GOES CRAZY.
I DROVE STRAIGHT HOME. PLEASE, DON'T BE ANGRY WITH ME.
IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
BUT I HAVE TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
IF ONLY-- [ Doorbell Ringing ]
ARE YOU EXPECTING SOMEONE ? [ Lisa ] OH, GOD !
[ Laughing ]
[ Cheering ]
ISN'T IT APPALLING ? IT'S NOT APPALLING.
I THINK IT'S GREAT. IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR DYNASTY, WE WOULDN'T BE DOING IT--
WE WOULDN'T BE DOING IT AT ALL. IT'S TRUE.
SOON AS IT BECOMES UNPOPULAR AND UNCHIC AGAIN, IT'LL TURN OUT THE CHARACTERS WERE LYING...
AND THE KISS WILL BE REVEALED TO HAVE BEEN A DREAM SEQUENCE.
BUT ISN'T IT IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO SEE IT ANYWAY ?
- NOT NECESSARILY. IT DOESN'T STOP THEM FROM HATING YOU. - [ Fuzzy And Willy Chattering ]
THE WHOLE WAY THEY'VE DRAGGED THIS STORY OUT FOR A YEAR.
I MEAN, I'VE HEARD OF FOREPLAY-- [ Lisa ] UH-HUH.
AND THE IDEA OF GIVING ME ALL THE QUEER SCENES IS DEMEANING. WELL, WHY ?
BECAUSE. DON'T THEY GIVE FILMS ABOUT BLACKS TO BLACK WRITERS ?
I RESENT THAT. NO ! OH, HE'S JUST SAYING THAT. YES !
THE POINT-- TO MY WAY OF THINKING ANYWAY--
OF BEING AN ARTIST IS TO BE ABLE TO IMAGINE SOMETHING.
IF I CAN'T WRITE A CONVINCING OLD LADY OR A RUSSIAN...
OR A BLACK CHARACTER, THEN I STINK.
YOU'RE GONNA MISS YOUR OWN DIALOGUE, SO SHUT UP.
MARK. I'VE GOTTA TALK TO YOU.
I KNOW HIM, THE ACTOR. MARK. I'M SORRY.
COME ON IN. [ Woman ] I'LL JUST BE RUNNING ALONG.
NO, ELAINE. NO, PLEASE, YOU TWO GO RIGHT ON AHEAD.
PLEASE. WE HAVE TO TALK THIS OUT. I WOULDN'T THINK OF INTERFERING.
YOU'RE NOT INTERFERING. YOU'RE MY FIANCEE.
LOOK, EVERYONE, I'M SORRY FOR WHATEVER I'VE DONE.
I NEVER MEANT ANY HARM TO EITHER OF YOU. HE LIVES IN MY BUILDING.
NEXT TO ME. REALLY ?
ELAINE ! LET GO OF ME.
I'LL LEAVE YOU TWO IN YOUR LITTLE LOVE NEST.
[ Laughing ]
SHE MADE THAT UP. I WOULD NEVER WRITE "LOVE NEST."
HI. FUCK.
I'M SORRY.
HOW ARE YOU, MARK ?
I'VE BEEN BETTER. YEAH.
HE LIVES IN YOUR BUILDING ? SHH.
I MISSED YOU SO MUCH. IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
LET ME GIVE YOU A HUG... AT LEAST ?
AT LEAST. SHH.
HERE IT COMES.
OH, I CAN'T STAND IT. I CAN'T STAND IT. [ Laughing ]
[ Cheering ]
SISTERS.
AND HIS LOVER IS CUTE TOO. YOU SHOULD SEE HIM.
I MISSED YOU SO MUCH. PLEASE, DON'T SAY THAT.
[ Sean ] WHOSE ? MARK ? ALL RIGHT, I'LL PRETEND I HAVEN'T. HOW'S THAT ?
NO, HE'S STRAIGHT. I ASKED. I'M SURE.
[ Lisa ] WELL ? [ David ] YOU ASKED ?
[ Lisa ] HE LIVES WITH ANOTHER GUY, AND THEY BOTH HAVE GREAT BODIES.
YOU TELL ME.
[ Thunder Rumbling ]
DAVE ? YES ?
COULD YOU COME HERE FOR A SECOND ?
COULD YOU LOOK AT THIS ? WHAT ?
HAVE I ALWAYS HAD THIS ? WHERE ?
THIS MOLE ? YES, YOU HAVE.
YOU SURE ? POSITIVE.
I NEVER EVEN NOTICED IT BEFORE. WOULDN'T I HAVE NOTICED IT ?
I'M SO TIRED ALL THE TIME.
YOU DON'T HAVE AIDS.
I'VE HAD EVERYTHING YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE, YOU KNOW ?
I'VE HAD HERPES, I'VE HAD AMOEBAS.
YOU'RE FEELING GUILTY BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GO TO THE HOSPITAL WHEN JOHN WAS DYING.
IF YOU SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME, I SWEAR I'M GONNA BEAT YOUR FUCKING FACE IN.
I DIDN'T KNOW JOHN WAS DYING. I'M SORRY.
I FEEL THAT SOMETHING'S... HAPPENING...
IN MY BODY.
NOW, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT JOHN.
I'M TALKING ABOUT ME.
I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS... STALKING ME.
I KNOW YOU THINK I'M BEING MELODRAMATIC.
- DID YOU SLEEP WITH SOMEONE ELSE ? - NO.
WELL, THEN, YOU CAN'T HAVE AIDS, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T TOUCHED ANOTHER MAN...
SINCE WE WERE IN KEY WEST, 1980.
UNLESS YOU CAN PICK IT UP ON A TOILET SEAT.
THEY DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GONNA TAKE TO GERMINATE. IT'S NOT GONNA TAKE FOUR YEARS.
INCUBATE ? INCUBATE.
DID YOU SLEEP WITH JOHN ? NO, I DID NOT SLEEP WITH HIM.
THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. MY SIDE OF THE BED WAS SOAKING THIS MORNING.
WELL, SO WAS MINE. BECAUSE IT'S SUMMER. IN THE SUMMER, IT IS HOT.
FINE. WE DON'T HAVE AIR-CONDITIONING.
[ Sighs ] WHAT ?
I DIDN'T-- I'M NOT... A CHILD.
I KNOW YOU'RE NOT A CHILD. STOP TALKING TO ME LIKE I'M A CHILD.
LOOK, I KNOW.
I'M SORRY YOU'RE UPSET.
I LOVE YOU.
NO, YOU DON'T.
[ Sighs ] BUT IT'S OKAY.
WHAT IS MOUNT RUSHMORE ? RIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT, EVERYBODY. GOOD NIGHT. SLEEP TIGHT.
NIGHT, WILLY. NIGHT.
OKAY, OKAY. TEN-LETTER WORDS FOR 600.
WHAT ?
WHERE ARE YOU, WILLY ?
[ Line Ringing ]
[ Ringing ] HI.
WHERE ARE YOU ? AT THE HOSPITAL.
WHAT HAPPENED ?
WELL, I HAVE A TWO-CENTIMETER LESION ON THE LEFT LOBE OF MY BRAIN,
SO IT'S-- I'M OKAY.
THEY-- THEY'RE NOT GONNA DO THE BIOPSY ? NO, THEY'RE NOT.
UH, UNLESS I DON'T RESPOND TO THE MEDICINE FOR THE TOXO. I'M REALLY OKAY.
AND IT'S GOOD TO KNOW WHY I'VE BEEN THROWING UP ALL THIS TIME.
UH--
I-I DON'T TH-THINK I CAN GET AWAY UNTIL WE FINISH SHOOTING...
THIS STUPID COMMERCIAL. I KNOW. I'M REALLY FINE. THERE ISN'T ANYTHING WE CAN'T HANDLE.
[ Announcer On Television, Indistinct ]
[ Chattering ]
AND ABOUT SIX OF THESE EVERY COUPLE HOURS.
SIX ? MM-HMM.
HELLO, HANDSOME MAN. THE GANG'S ALL HERE.
HI, DAVID.
WHAT DID YOU BRING ME ? HIMSELF.
- I'M BEING INUNDATED WITH ALFALFA TABS. - OH, WOW.
I'VE WRITTEN ON THE LABEL WHAT HE SAID SO YOU CAN REMEMBER. GREAT.
HOW MANY AND HOW OFTEN. GOOD.
OH, AND THIS IS LECITHIN, WHICH IS ALSO SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD FOR THE IMMUNE SYSTEM.
- CAN I USE THE BATHROOM ? - SURE. IT'S RIGHT THERE.
TWICE A DAY IT SAYS. AND, OH, YEAH, TAHEEBO.
THAT'S FLEXIBLE, I THINK. HOW MANY ?
AND ASCORBITOL PALMITATE,
WHICH DOES SOMETHING TO ACTIVATE THE VITAMIN C-- I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT.
ONLY ONE OF THOSE, THOUGH, BECAUSE IT'S A CHEMICAL.
AND, AGAIN, WHEN YOU GET OUT, I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD SEE THIS GUY YOURSELF...
AND HAVE HIM CHECK ALL THESE LEVELS ON YOU PERSONALLY.
I MEAN, I TOLD HIM ABOUT YOU, AND HE TESTED ME, SORT OF LIKE A PROXY, YOU KNOW.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ? WELL, HE DOES THIS THING...
WHERE HE HOLDS A SUBSTANCE UP TO ME,
AND HE ASKS MY BODY IF YOUR BODY NEEDS THIS AND HOW MUCH.
IT'S MUCH MORE SCIENTIFIC THAN IT SOUNDS.
UH-HUH. NO, IT REALLY IS.
- AND SHE'S LIKE-- - I MEAN, SHE HAD CANCER HERSELF.
OH, SHE DID ? YEAH, SHE TALKS ABOUT IT THROUGH THE BOOK AND ON THE TAPES.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW. YOU CAN TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT,
BUT I THINK THE WHOLE IDEA THAT DISEASE...
IS A KIND OF "DIS-EASE" WITH ONESELF IS AMAZING.
I MEAN, WHEN DO YOU GET SICK ? WHEN YOU'RE TIRED OR UPSET ABOUT SOMETHING.
AND EVERYBODY BELIEVES YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF SICK. [ David ] RIGHT.
BUT CAN YOU MAKE YOURSELF WELL ?
[ Chuckles ] OF COURSE YOU CAN. THERE YOU GO.
[ Michael ] THERE YOU GO. THAT A BOY.
YEAH, NO, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO REAFFIRM. IT REALLY IS.
YEAH !
SHE HAS ALL THESE EXERCISES WHERE YOU LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR AND YOU SAY,
"I LOVE MY EARS, I LOVE MY NOSE, I LOVE MYSELF."
BECAUSE IF WE THINK WE'RE BAD FOR BEING GAY...
UH-HUH. OR NOT BEING A GOOD SON,
RIGHT. THEN WE CRITICIZE OURSELVES.
AND HER WHOLE BIG THRUST IS THAT WE DON'T CRITICIZE OURSELVES.
IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY WE FEEL.
WELL, GREAT. I CAN'T WAIT.
IT REALLY-- I BET IT DOES THOUGH, YOU KNOW ?
I MEAN, IF I TELL MYSELF SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN,
THAT I'M GONNA DROP SOMETHING OR FAIL AT SOMETHING--
YOU DO. RIGHT. AND IF I TELL MYSELF I'M GONNA SUCCEED--
YOU DO. [ Chuckles ]
- SO, YOU GUYS GOING TO THE HOUSE AT ALL THIS FALL ? - PROBABLY A COUPLE MORE TIMES.
BECAUSE WE'RE THINKING OF MOVING SEAN'S COMPUTER OUT THERE SO HE CAN WORK.
[ Michael ] OH, GREAT. YOU KNOW, UNTIL IT GETS TOO COLD.
OH, WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO WORK.
THAT'S-- ESPECIALLY IN THE FALL, THAT'S MY FAVORITE TIME.
YEA !
[ Chuckles ] AND WE TOLD THE NETWORK HE HAS AN ULCER.
THEY'RE GIVING HIM A MONTH'S LEAVE.
OH, TERRIFIC.
WELL, I SHOULD PROBABLY GET BACK TO WORK.
BACK TO THE BODY JAIL.
- IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU. YOU LOOK GREAT. - THANK YOU, DARLING.
- ARE YOU GONNA STAY ? - UH, A LITTLE BIT.
SURE, STAY. OKAY.
SO, UH, GOOD LUCK WITH ALL YOUR TESTS.
- WELL, I LOVE MY TOES, AND I LOVE MY NOSE. - RIGHT.
[ David ] SAY HI TO FUZZY FOR US. I WILL.
BYE. BYE.
THANK YOU.
[ Sighing ] IT'S OKAY TO CRY.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
[ Crying ]
[ Crying Continues ]
[ Woman ] WE NOW ALLOW THIS LOVE...
TO FLOW TO THE SURFACE.
IT FILLS OUR HEARTS, OUR BODIES,
OUR MINDS, OUR CONSCIOUSNESS,
OUR VERY BEINGS,
AND IT RADIATES OUT FROM US IN ALL DIRECTIONS...
AND RETURNS TO US MULTIPLIED.
THE MORE LOVE WE USE AND GIVE,
THE MORE WE HAVE TO GIVE.
THE SUPPLY IS ENDLESS.
THE USE OF LOVE-- I CAN'T DO BOTH THINGS AT ONCE.
IT IS AN EXPRESSION OF OUR INNER JOY. RIGHT.
WE LOVE OURSELVES. [ Sighs ]
HONEY, YOU THINK IN THE OUTLINE, THEY MEAN ELAINE IS STILL JEALOUS ABOUT MARK AND TOMMY ?
DO YOU KNOW ?
OKAY.
MAYBE. YEAH, I DO.
[ Beeping ]
[ Ringing ] HELLO ? HI.
WHAT DID THE DOCTOR SAY ?
WELL-- YOU HAVE TO TAKE THESE ONE AT A TIME, ALL RIGHT ?
SORRY. OH, THAT'S OKAY.
WELL, HE THOUGHT--
ARE YOU NAUSEOUS ? DOES YOUR TUMMY FEEL UPSET ?
IT DOES ? [ Sighs ]
ALL RIGHT, JUST TRY TAKING ONE TO START, OKAY ?
YEAH, WE'RE GONNA TRY STOPPING THE SULFA DRUGS FOR A WEEK...
TO SEE IF THAT'LL RAISE HIS WHITE BLOOD COUNT,
WHICH IS A RISK, BECAUSE HE MIGHT HAVE ANOTHER SEIZURE.
UH-HUH. BUT HE CAN'T TAKE THIS NEW DRUG FOR C.M.V...
UNLESS HIS BLOOD COUNT IS ABOVE 750.
AND IF HE DOESN'T TAKE IT, HE'LL PROBABLY GO BLIND, HE SAID.
OH. BUT IF HE HAS ANOTHER SEIZURE,
IT MAY PERMANENTLY DAMAGE HIS NERVOUS SYSTEM, SO TAKE YOUR PICK.
GOD. NO.
IT'S WORTH IT IF IT CAN SAVE THE EYE.
SO KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED. [ Call Waiting Clicks ]
LISTEN, CAN I CALL YOU LATER THIS AFTERNOON ? SURE.
THAT MAY BE THE STUDIO. BYE. OKAY. BYE-BYE.
HELLO. UH, SEAN, PLEASE.
JUST A SECOND.
IT'S MARTIN. ALL RIGHT ? JUST WAIT FOR ME.
JUST SAY, "I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT" IF YOU DON'T KNOW, ALL RIGHT ?
"I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT."
SEAN ? IT'S MARTY. YES ?
HOW YOU DOING ? HOW ARE YOU DOING ?
OH, I'M FINE.
BUT LISTEN. UH, ABOUT THESE LAST TWO SCRIPTS YOU SENT IN,
THERE'S A KIND OF FUNNY THING GOING ON IN THEM.
I MEAN, THEY'RE GETTING A LITTLE SURREAL.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN ?
YOU STILL THERE ? UH-HUH.
LIKE THE STUFF WITH, UH,
ELAINE WAFFLING NOW ON THE ADOPTION.
I KNOW THE OUTLINE MENTIONS IT, BUT IT JUST SEEMS--
WELL, IT'S A LITTLE... SEVERE...
THE WAY YOU'VE GOT IT.
YOU THINK YOU CAN SOFTEN IT ?
I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT. NO !
NO ? WHAT DO YOU MEAN, YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT ?
SAY, YES, YOU'LL SOFTEN IT. YES, I'LL HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT.
NO ! NO, I HAVE TO--
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT.
YOU'LL SOFTEN IT.
SEAN ? I'LL SOFTEN IT.
WELL, I MEAN, DO YOU DISAGREE ?
UH-HUH. NO. NO ! YOU DO ?
ARE YOU SURE ?
YES.
OKAY.
I MEAN, YOU CAN, YOU KNOW, IF YOU-- IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER THOUGHT, ALL RIGHT ?
I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT. [ Sighs ]
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ?
I MEAN, I DON'T THINK I CAN GET INSURANCE FOR HIM ON THE PICTURE.
BECAUSE ?
BECAUSE HE'S SICK. WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S SICK, WALTER ?
I MEAN, HE HAS AIDS. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. HOW DO YOU KNOW HE HAS AI--
I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT, AND HE'S MY CLIENT.
[ Walter ] HE WAS FIRED FROM THE SOAP.
[ Fuzzy ] NOW YOU SEE, THIS IS HOW RUMORS GET STARTED. HE WAS NOT FIRED FROM THE SOAP.
BECAUSE I GOT HIM OUT OF HIS CONTRACT.
ALL RIGHT. AND I SHOULD KNOW. WHERE THE HELL DID YOU HEAR THAT ?
SOMEBODY ELSE'S AGENT, RIGHT ? NO, I DON'T--
NO.
SUPPOSE HE DID ? SUPPOSE HE HAD AIDS ?
IS HE SUPPOSED TO STOP ACTING ? NO, I DON'T--
[ Sighs ] LOOK,
I KNOW I CAN'T GET A BOND ON THIS PICTURE IF ONE OF THE ACTORS HAD AIDS.
I DIDN'T MAKE THE RULES. FUCK YOU ! YOU KNOW ?
[ Transvestite ] I'M SURE THEY'LL LET YOU GO HOME AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOU STAY HERE ANY LONGER THAN NECESSARY, BELIEVE ME.
I WON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN. WHAT ?
I'M NOT GONNA LET THIS HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN.
[ Door Opens ]
HELLO, PAUL.
HI. HOW YOU DOING ?
YOU FEELING OKAY ?
THIS IS DR. FROMER, ANOTHER OF THE NEUROLOGISTS.
JUST NOD IF YOU HEAR ME, PAUL.
- I HEAR YOU FINE. - OKAY. GOOD.
WE'RE GONNA ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS,
CHECK A FEW THINGS...
TO SEE HOW YOU'RE DOING AFTER YOUR SEIZURE YESTERDAY.
YOU WANNA SIT UP ?
CAN YOU TELL ME HOW MANY FINGERS I'M HOLDING UP IN THE AIR ?
TWO. TWO ?
TWO FINGERS AND A THUMB.
RIGHT.
WHAT'S SIX PLUS SEVEN ?
SIX PLUS--
THIRTEEN. ALL RIGHT.
WHO'S THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ?
RONALD REAGAN.
ALL RIGHT. WHO'S THE VICE PRESIDENT ?
NANCY REAGAN. ALL RIGHT.
TELL ME IF YOU CAN FEEL THIS, PAUL.
HI.
GOOD FOR YOU. NO.
YOU CAN'T TALK TO PRODUCERS LIKE THAT AND STAY IN THIS BUSINESS.
I HATE WHAT I DO.
ISN'T THAT-- I MEAN--
MAYBE YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT VOLUNTEERING SOME OF YOUR TIME...
TO THE GAY MEN'S HEALTH CRISIS OR SOMETHING. OH, GOD, NO.
IF I NEVER HEAR THE WORD "AIDS" AGAIN AS LONG AS I LIVE,
IT'LL BE TOO SOON.
SO, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU AND SAM ?
HE'S NICE. IT'S WORKING OUT.
I'M IN LOVE. YOU KNOW.
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU AND WILLY ?
THAT'S WONDERFUL.
NOTHING.
NOTHING AT ALL. IT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE.
YOU'RE BEING CAREFUL, AREN'T YOU, WITH EVERYTHING ? YES, YES, MOTHER.
NOW THEY FOUND THE VIRUS IS IN SALIVA,
SO I SUPPOSE WE CAN'T EVEN KISS ANYMORE.
DO YOU THINK IT'S THE WORST THING THAT'LL HAPPEN IN OUR LIVES,
OR DO YOU THINK KHOMENEI WILL TAKE OVER AND WE'LL ALL BE MADE SLAVES ?
JUST DON'T GET SICK, OKAY ?
SEAN. SEAN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?
HOWARD, LOOK, THEY'VE CHANGED THEIR MIND ABOUT THE PART FOR SOME REASON.
THEY'RE GONNA USE SOMEBODY ELSE.
THEY'VE DECIDED TO GO ANOTHER WAY, THEY SAID.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY DIDN'T CALL YOUR AGENT INSTEAD OF ME.
I GUESS JUST BECAUSE THEY HAD ME ON THE PHONE. I DON'T KNOW.
I'M SORRY.
WHAT ABOUT THE APARTMENT ?
I STILL HAVE A CALL INTO THE A.C.L.U.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET THROWN OUT ON THE STREET, I PROMISE.
I KNOW. ALL RIGHT ?
AND I'M SORRY ABOUT THE MOVIE.
I'LL DO IT IF NOBODY ELSE WILL ! RON, WAIT !
GODDAMN IT ! YOU CAN'T. IT'S IN THERE FOR A REASON.
NURSE, CAN WE HAVE SOMEBODY IN HERE ? WHAT'S WRONG ?
THE GUY IN THE NEXT BED JUST PULLED OUT HIS I.V. WAIT.
COULD WE-- HELLO ? WE COULD USE SOME ASSISTANCE HERE!
SOMEBODY'S GOTTA TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORN ! I'M GOING HOME !
YOU UNDERSTAND ?
THERE'S BLOOD ALL OVER HERE. NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND !
LEAVE THEM ALONE.
I'M SORRY.
I'M JUST AFRAID ALL THE TIME.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE ?
WE GET TO HAVE SEX AGAIN.
I HOPE.
[ Over Radio ] I USED TO THINK MAYBE YOU LOVE ME
NOW, BABY, I'M SURE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT, HENRY. I KNOW.
AND I JUST CAN'T WAIT TILL THE DAY
HOW DID YOU SLEEP ?
WERE YOU WARM ENOUGH ? [ Grunts ]
NO ?
YOU WANT ANOTHER BLANKET TONIGHT ?
IT'S NOT-- WHAT ISN'T IT?
[ Groans ] I'M SORRY.
WAS I TOO ROUGH ?
IT'S NOT-- TELL ME WHAT IT'S NOT.
IT--
I'M LISTENING.
MAKE UP--
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT ME TO MAKE.
LET'S GO. OKAY, LET'S GO.
OKAY.
HERE WE GO.
LET'S GO.
AND, UH, SOME MORE OF THE BIG TRASH BAGS WITH THE YELLOW TIES.
AND WHATEVER YOU WANT FOR LUNCH.
OH, OKAY.
AND YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TIME. I'VE GOT STUFF I WANNA DO.
OKAY. SO I'LL BE FINE BY MYSELF FOR A WHILE.
I'D PREFER IT, ACTUALLY.
LET'S GO.
THAT'S OKAY. YOU CAN GO.
YOU CAN LET GO, MY BABY.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
DON'T BE AFRAID. I'M HERE. [ Mumbling ]
YOU LET GO OF EVERYTHING.
DON'T HOLD ON.
[ Continues Mumbling ]
IT'S ALL OKAY NOW.
LET GO.
JUST RELAX.
LET EVERYTHING GO.
JUST LET GO.
LET GO.
I'M... TIRED.
I KNOW. I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED.
JUST LET GO.
I'VE GOT YOU. NOTHING BAD'S GONNA HAPPEN.
YEAH. JUST LET GO OF EVERYTHING.
DON'T WORRY.
LET GO.
ALL THE PAIN.
JUST LET IT ALL GO.
JUST LET GO.
THERE YOU GO.
THERE'S A CALL FOR YOU.
SORRY. I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
- HELLO. - HI.
HI.
WHAT'S WRONG ?
LISTEN, HONEY, SEAN'S JUST DIED.
OH, GOD.
I JUST STOPPED BY, AND DAVID'S FINE. UH-HUH.
I JUST STOPPED IN TO SEE IF THEY NEEDED ANYTHING,
AND I GUESS IT WAS LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO.
COPS ARE HERE NOW, YOU KNOW, TO FILL OUT THE DEATH CERTIFICATE.
UH-HUH.
I TRIED FUZZ, BUT HIS LINE WAS BUSY. I'LL CALL HIM.
I THOUGHT YOU'D WANNA COME OVER.
YEAH.
OKAY. OKAY.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU TOO.
AW.
POOR PUPPY.
HOW ARE YOU ?
I'M OKAY. GOOD.
YOU CAN TOUCH HIM IF YOU LIKE.
[ Doorbell Rings ]
I MEAN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO. [ Laughs ]
- HE'S STILL WARM. - YEAH. SURE.
[ Rings ]
GAY MEN'S HEALTH CRISIS. THIS IS BILL. HOW MAY I ASSIST YOU ?
HI, BILL. I'M CALLING FOR A FRIEND WHOSE LOVER JUST DIED.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY PARTICULAR FUNERAL HOMES...
THAT HAVE A HISTORY OF DEALING WITH PEOPLE WITH AIDS.
YEAH, THERE ARE. THERE ARE ?
THEY WANT YOU TO PICK SOMETHING OUT FOR HIM TO BE CREMATED IN.
THAT'S ALL. I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY BURN UP. IT'S RIDICULOUS.
[ Willy ] DO YOU WANT ME TO PICK SOMETHING OUT ? WOULD YOU ?
I'LL HELP YOU.
- THEY SAY WHAT TIME THEY'D BE HERE ? - A LITTLE WHILE.
HE WAS GONE A LONG TIME, YOU KNOW.
NO, HE WASN'T. NOT REALLY.
YOU WANT SOMETHING TO DRINK ? NO.
I DO. I'LL GET IT.
NO, IT'S OKAY. RELAX. I'M FINE.
ALL THESE GORGEOUS SWEATERS.
WHAT COULD THEY SAY ?
IF WE SAID WE KNEW HIM AND WE KNOW THAT'S THE WAY HE WANTED TO BE REMEMBERED.
OH, IT NEEDS A HAT.
[ Both Laughing ]
A BIG BEA LILLIE THING.
SHOULD WE ?
I KEEP WONDERING IF HE'S PAYING ATTENTION.
THAT WAS IN, LIKE, 1969, I THINK.
HIS FIRST PLAY ? [ Lisa ] OH, WOW.
AND HE WAS ALSO ON THE COUNCIL OF THE DRAMATISTS GUILD...
FROM 1973 TO...
SOMETHING LIKE '76, '77.
THEY CAN CHECK IF THEY WANT.
WELL, I'M SURE HIS AGENT CAN SEND OVER A PICTURE OF HIM.
OKAY.
AND YOU WANT IT TO SAY THAT SEAN IS SURVIVED...
BY HIS LONGTIME COMPANION, DAVID ELDERS.
HERE. WHY DON'T THEY SAY "LOVER" ?
THAT'S FOR ME. THEY DIDN'T USED TO SAY ANYTHING.
THEY DIDN'T USED TO SAY "GAY."
ALL RIGHT. I'M GONNA GO CALL.
THANK YOU.
[ Lisa ] SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE "LOVER."
DO THEY ?
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'M GONNA MISS HAVING HENRY...
TO CLEAN UP AFTER THE TWO OF US.
IT'S JUST SO FUCKING...
NOT STRANGE.
YOU KNOW ?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ?
IT'S JUST NOT STRANGE.
[ Bob ] AFTER SEAN HAD DIED AND BEFORE DAVID GOT SICK HIMSELF,
I REMEMBER DAVID SAYING HE WANTED HIS OWN MEMORIAL, WHENEVER, TO BE REAL SIMPLE...
OR SEAN WOULD NEVER FORGIVE HIM FOR OUTDOING HIS.
AND THAT, I THINK, MORE THAN ANYTHING...
EPITOMIZES WHO DAVID WAS.
SOMEONE...
UNLIKE ANYONE ELSE.
UH--
UH, I'M WILLY WOLLF.
[ Clears Throat ]
EVERYBODY SAID HOW, UH, FUNNY DAVID WAS.
AND, UH-- BUT,
UH, HE ALSO DID AMAZING THINGS FOR OTHER PEOPLE,
UH, WHEN THEY NEEDED HIM TO.
HE NEVER MADE A BIG DEAL ABOUT BEING FILTHY RICH AND--
[ Laughter ]
UH, THE MOST...
REMARKABLE THING I EVER SAW ANYBODY DO...
WAS THE WAY HE...
TOOK CARE OF SEAN...
AND, UH, GAVE HIM WHAT HE WANTED,
WHICH WAS, YOU KNOW, TO DIE AT HOME.
WHICH WASN'T EASY FOR DAVID.
AND THE DOCTORS ADVISED HIM AGAINST IT,
FOR HIS SAKE.
DAVID...
TAUGHT ME THAT...
LIFE IS ONLY WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT.
OR WHAT YOU GIVE AWAY.
I MEAN OF YOURSELF, NOT YOUR MONEY.
UH, BECAUSE HE WAS NOT GENEROUS WHEN IT CAME TO PICKING UP THE TAB.
UH,
I MET DAVID ALMOST, UH, NINE YEARS AGO.
HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE I MET WHEN I MOVED TO THE CITY.
AND...
HE IMMEDIATELY PUT THE MOVES ON ME, YOU KNOW.
AND...
THE THING I REMEMBER MOST WAS, UH,
THE WAY WHEN I MET FUZZY, ALLEN,
HE JUST TOOK HIM INTO THE FAMILY.
AND THAT WAS THAT. THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION.
FUZZY, UH,
BECAME AN IMMEDIATE FRIEND.
AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY CLASSY.
HE WAS, UH, REALLY CLASSY.
[ Stereo: Jazz ]
[ Chattering, Laughing ]
YES ! OKAY.
DAVID WENT HOME. DO YOU WANNA TELL THIS ?
DAVID WENT HOME TO BRYN MAWR FOR HIS SISTER'S WEDDING.
SHE WAS THERE TODAY. I KNOW.
DON'T THEY LOOK ALIKE ?
AND EVERYBODY WAS OUT AT THE REHEARSAL DINNER. DAVID WAS ALONE IN THE HOUSE.
SO HE WENT UPSTAIRS TO SEE HIS OLD BEDROOM.
AND HANGING ON THE BACK OF THE DOOR IS THE WEDDING DRESS.
[ Lisa ] SAM, YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS.
AND, YOU KNOW, APPARENTLY, HE TOOK A LOOK AT IT AND HE THOUGHT, "OH, WHAT THE HELL."
- WHAT THE HELL. - NOBODY'S GONNA SEE.
THIS IS DAVID AT HIS SISTER'S WEDDING. AND HE PUT IT ON.
- THE WEDDING DRESS. - THE WEDDING DRESS. - [ Bob ] I NEVER HEARD THIS.
AND HE'S STANDING OUT IN THE HALL ADMIRING HIMSELF IN IT IN THE MIRROR.
AND HE BACKS UP TO GET A BETTER LOOK,
KICKS THE TRAIN, WHICH SOMEHOW CAUGHT HIS FOOT.
HE FELL DOWN THE ENTIRE FLIGHT OF STAIRS BACKWARDS.
KNOCKED OUT COLD. WHEN THE FAMILY COMES HOME FROM THE REHEARSAL,
HE'S STILL OUT, THREE BROKEN RIBS.
THEY HAVE TO CUT HIM OUT OF THE DRESS WITH SCISSORS.
THE AMBULANCE GUYS ARE THERE, THE PARAMEDICS.
THE DRESS, OF COURSE, IS RUINED. THE SISTER IS LIVID.
[ Phone Ringing ]
LEGAL. [ Lisa ] HI.
WHAT'S UP ?
DID SOMEBODY TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS ? WAIT.
HIS NAME IS--
I JUST HAD IT.
FRANKLIN WASHINGTON. HE'S AN I.V. DRUG USER. NO.
HE'S STILL IN CABRINI WITH P.C.P.
CAN YOU GET A BED FOR HIM AT BAILEY HOUSE ? HE'S GONNA BE OUT ON THE STREET.
I GUESS HE HAD A LEASE OR... HIS GIRLFRIEND DID.
HE DOESN'T HAVE A BUDDY ASSIGNED.
[ Door Opens ]
HI, ALBERTO. IT'S WILLY.
HOW ARE YOU ? OKAY.
GOT YOUR LAUNDRY.
THANKS. OH, AND, UH,
FUZZY SAID HE SPOKE TO MEDICAID FOR YOU.
AND THEY'LL GET YOU, UH, A REPLACEMENT CARD.
- OR YOU CAN CALL YOURSELF ANYTIME, OKAY ? - OKAY.
YOU HAVE THE NUMBER ?
OKAY.
GETTING ANY EXERCISE ?
STILL FEELING, UH, WOBBLY ?
GOOD.
YOU LOOK BETTER.
WELL, SO, I'M JUST ON LUNCH, SO, UH--
COULD YOU STRAIGHTEN UP A LITTLE IN THE KITCHEN ?
SURE. YOU WANNA HELP ME ?
YOUR LEGS BOTHERING YOU NOW ?
WELL, YOU SHOULD GET UP. FORGET IT, WILLY.
I'M REAL CONFUSED. YOUR DOCTOR TELLS ME YOU'RE WELL ENOUGH TO START DOING THINGS.
BUT YOU WON'T LIFT A FINGER. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T--
I DON'T THINK I'LL BE NEEDING YOU ANYMORE, WILLY. THANK YOU.
YOU CAN JUST LEAVE THE KEYS.
YOU'RE FIRED, YOU GOT IT ? I'M A VOLUNTEER.
I DON'T GET PAID. YOU DON'T FIRE ME.
- YOU WALK WELL FOR SOMEBODY WHO WON'T GET OUT OF BED. - COME ON. I WANT MY KEYS.
I THINK YOU'RE REALLY, REALLY PISSED OFF, AND I DON'T BLAME YOU.
BUT IF YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO JUST WASTE AWAY,
I-- I FEEL--
I'M SORRY. I KNOW I'M NOT ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS OR YOUR FAMILY.
BUT, UH--
[ Applause, Cheers ]
GOOD EVENING. [ Clears Throat ]
THANK YOU.
MY NAME IS HOWARD PALIN.
I-- WELL, I USED TO BE ONE OF THOSE "OTHER PEOPLE."
FOR THOSE OF YOU--
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ADMIT TO WATCHING DAYTIME TV,
I'M AN ACTOR, AND I HAVE AIDS.
A LOT OF THE PERFORMERS YOU'LL SEE TONIGHT HAVE AIDS.
A LOT DON'T.
BUT WE'RE ALL COMMITTED TO ONE THING:
TO FIGHTING THIS DISEASE, OBVIOUSLY,
BUT TO THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE WITH AIDS ARE NOT VICTIMS.
[ Scattered Applause ] AND I'M DELIGHTED TO BE YOUR HOST FOR THE EVENING.
WELCOME TO LIVING WITH AIDS. [ Applause ]
AND PLEASE WELCOME THE FINGER LAKES TRIO, WHO HAIL FROM UPSTATE NEW YORK.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU ABOUT A PLACE WHERE ANYONE CAN GO...
IF THEY'RE A NEW BOY IN TOWN.
PERHAPS YOU'LL RECOGNIZE THE TUNE.
- THANK YOU. - [ Scattered Cheers ]
[ Guitar ]
YOUNG MAN
THERE'S NO NEED TO FEEL DOWN
I SAID YOUNG MAN
PICK YOURSELF OFF THE GROUND
YOUNG MAN
'CAUSE YOU'RE IN A NEW TOWN
THERE'S NO NEED TO BE UNHAPPY
IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE
Y.M.C.A.
IT'S FUN TO STAY AT THE Y.M.C.A.
YOU CAN GET YOURSELF CLEAN
YOU CAN HAVE A GOOD MEAL
YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU FEEL
[ Willy ] FUZZY'S AFRAID HIS PARENTS WILL SEE HIM ON THE NEWS.
I AM NOT. BESIDES, THEY WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE ME WITHOUT MY BEARD ANYWAY.
I WOULD LOVE TO GET ARRESTED.
THEY'RE GONNA SIT DOWN IN FRONT OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT...
AND, I GUESS, WAIT AND SEE IF THE MAYOR SHOWS UP.
I THINK WE OUGHT TO THROW ROTTEN EGGS AT HIM.
WOULDN'T THAT BE SORT OF REDUNDANT ?
THE WOMEN WERE STRIP-SEARCHED THE LAST TIME...
WHEN THEY BLOCKED THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE. I HEARD.
MICHAEL AND BOB COMPLAINED THEY WEREN'T STRIP-SEARCHED WHEREVER THEY GOT TAKEN.
IT WAS A DIFFERENT PRECINCT, I GUESS.
I'D LIKE TO SEE 'EM TRY. WITH ME ? LET 'EM.
I'M READY.
YOU GONNA GO MONDAY?
YEP. YOU ARE ?
ARE YOU ?
UH-HUH. OH, GREAT. IT'LL BE FUN.
IT SEEMS INCONCEIVABLE, DOESN'T IT ? GOING ?
THAT THERE WAS EVER A TIME BEFORE ALL THIS.
WHEN WE DIDN'T WAKE UP EVERY DAY WONDERING,
"WHO'S SICK NOW ? WHO ELSE IS GONE ?"
DO YOU EVER WONDER IF THEY EVER DO FIND A CURE,
PEOPLE WOULD GO BACK TO SLEEPING AROUND ?
WHO CARES, YOU KNOW ? IT'S JUST A QUESTION.
I KNOW. I KNOW, BUT--
I'M SORRY. I JUST THINK THAT...
WHETHER PEOPLE DO OR DON'T SLEEP AROUND OR WHAT THEY DO, IT'S JUST NOT THE POINT.
I'M SICK OF HEARING PEOPLE PONTIFICATE ABOUT IT. EXCEPT US.
EXCEPT US. EXACTLY.
I JUST WANNA BE THERE...
IF THEY EVER DO FIND A CURE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT IT'D BE LIKE ?
LIKE THE END OF WORLD WAR II.
