OH, WELL, JUST LISTEN.
"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--

"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--

"AND GIAR--
GIARDIASIS.
"MANY PATIENTS ALSO REPOR 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 MIGH 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.

"OH, HE'S THAT GUY WHO PLAYED THE HOMO."

"I DON'T THINK HE'S RIGH 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 BES 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 I 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 ?

HI.

WHAT'S WRONG ?
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 !

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.

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.

WELL--
STILL, I DON'T EXPEC EVERYBODY TO FOLLOW...
ALL THE UNHAPPY LIVES
OF ALL THE DENIZENS OF CENTRAL FALLS...

I WISH I COULD.
WHO IS THAT ?
I DON'T KNOW WHY,

THAT'S THE FIRST PERSON
I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME.
WHO ?
OR HEARD ABOUT.

- 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.

- 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.

ARE YOU EXPECTING SOMEONE ?

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...

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 ARTIS 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

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 THRUS 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 ]
[ 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 COUN 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 I 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 GE 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 ]

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.

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' 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' 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 ABOU THE APARTMENT ?
I STILL HAVE A CALL
INTO THE A.C.L.U.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET THROWN

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.

[ 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 MIGH 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 NO 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 PU 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 THOUGH 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 OU 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 OU 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 ]

[ 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 ]

I'M REAL CONFUSED. YOUR DOCTOR
TELLS ME YOU'RE WELL ENOUGH TO START DOING THINGS.
BUT YOU WON'T LIF 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--

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 DIFFEREN 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' 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.
