Mother: ARE YOU TAKING HARLEY?

WHERE?

SCHOOL.

IT MIGHT BE NICE.

IT'S HIS FIFTH ONE IN TWO MONTHS.

IT'S OUR THIRD HOUSE IN TWO MONTHS.

DAN, PLEASE.

( sigh )

TELL HIM TO TAKE THE MOTORCYCLE.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO RIDE WITH ME ANYWAY.

YOU USED TO TELL HIM

TO NEVER RIDE IN THE STREET.

IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS.

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THAT REALLY MAKE NOW?

OH, HI!

HOW YOU DOING?

DID YOU CUT YOURSELF?

GIVE ME A BREAK.

I'LL LIVE.

YOU'VE GOT TO WATCH IT.

I'M IMMORTAL.

HOW GOES THE HARDWARE WARS?

HOW GOES ALGEBRA?

YOU GOT A "D".

"D-MINUS"-- CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE.

I'M LATE.

YOU GET TO SCHOOL YOURSELF?

YEAH, SURE.

WEAR A HELMET

AND BE CAREFUL.

( protesters chanting: ) NO AIDS IN SCHOOL. NO AIDS IN SCHOOL.

NO AIDS IN SCHOOL. NO AIDS IN SCHOOL.

NO AIDS IN SCHOOL.

THAT'S HIM OVER THERE.

( protesters jeering )

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SCHOOL WITH MY KIDS.

ARE THEY TRANSFERRING?

WE'RE NOT LETTING YOU IN.

I'LL GIVE LESTER MADDOX YOUR BEST.

YOU'RE NOT GETTING INSIDE.

STOP ME, PAL.

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

I'VE GOT A COURT ORDER.

SO WHAT? THEY DON'T WANT YOU HERE.

WHY NOT TAKE CORRESPONDENCE?

YOU WOULDN'T LET ME LICK THE STAMP.

YOU COULD GET HURT.

LIKE A BOO ON MY ELBOW?

JUST KEEP THESE JERKS OFF OF ME.

Penhall: SHE'S TERRIFIC.

WAIT TILL YOU MEET.

YOU HAVEN'T EVEN MET HER.

OKAY, YEAH. SO?

I'M MOVING IN SLOW ON THIS ONE.

I'VE SEEN HER AND SHE'S SEEN ME.

I HANG OUT AT THE PLACE WHERE SHE WORKS, RIGHT?

THERE'S BEEN THAT MOMENT WHERE OUR EYES MEET

AND WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER

AND THINGS ARE SPOKEN WITHOUT USING ANY WORDS.

SHE DEAF?

OR BLIND.

THANKS, CAPTAIN.

HANSON, CAN YOU GIVE ME A MINUTE?

YEAH.

LOVE IS A WONDERFUL THING, DOUG.

DON'T SCREW IT UP.

DON'T CALL HER.

THE TROUBLE WITH YOU

IS YOU GOT NO ROMANCE IN YOUR PANTS.

SIT DOWN, TOM.

I WANT TO TALK OFF THE RECORD HERE.

OKAY.

AN ASSIGNMENT HAS COME UP.

I THINK YOU'RE THE ONE FOR IT.

BUT I WANT TO EXPLAIN, IT'S TOUGH.

DO I HAVE TO WEAR A DRESS AGAIN?

NO.

GOOD.

LAST TIME, SOME MOOK SENT ME A DOZEN ROSES.

HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT AIDS?

NOT MUCH-- I NEVER THANKED THE MOOK.

I'M SERIOUS HERE, HANSON.

AIDS?

UH... I DON'T KNOW.

I KNOW WHAT EVERYBODY KNOWS, I GUESS.

YOU GET IT.

YOU DIE.

IT'S PRETTY SCARY.

DOES IT SCARE YOU?

WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT, YEAH.

HARLEY POOLISH IS A SENIOR WHO JUST TRANSFERRED IN

OVER AT HUNTINGTON HIGH.

HE'S GOT AIDS.

AT LEAST HE'S BEEN TESTED SERO-POSITIVE FOR THE VIRUS.

AND HE SUFFERS FROM SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE.

WHAT HAS THAT GOT TO DO WITH US?

IT'S NOT AGAINST THE LAW TO HAVE IT...

NOT YET.

NO, BUT IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO BEAT UP ON SOME KID

BECAUSE HE'S TESTED POSITIVE

TO KEEP HIM OUT OF SCHOOL.

HOW DID HE GET IT?

DOES THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

KIND OF.

BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS, THEY THINK.

POOLISH IS A HEMOPHILIAC.

IF HE KEEPS GETTING BEAT UP

ONE OF THESE TIMES HE WILL DIE BECAUSE HIS BLOOD DOESN'T CLOT.

IT'S REAL DANGEROUS.

SOMEONE'S GOT TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

SOMEONE LIKE ME, I TAKE IT.

YOU WANT THE JOB?

NO.

OKAY, I'LL ASK SOMEONE ELSE.

HOPEFULLY, THEY WON'T WANT TO WEAR RUBBER GLOVES.

I DON'T THINK ANYBODY ELSE WILL WANT IT

SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL GIVE IT TO ME.

Penhall: I'VE SEEN YOU AROUND HERE.

THAT MAKES SENSE.

CONSIDERING YOU'VE BEEN AT BOTH SHOWS

EVERY WEEKEND FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS.

I'VE GOT A THING ABOUT BIG FISH.

WHALES AREN'T FISH.

I WAS BEING EUPHEMISTIC.

OOH, GOOD WORD.

I'M PENNY ABLE.

DOUG PENHALL.

I KNOW.

I'VE GOT A THING FOR BIG FISH, TOO.

YOU'RE A POLICE OFFICER?

NO, I'M A COP.

MY FRIEND, TOM HANSON, HE'S A POLICE OFFICER.

HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?

THESE GUYS CAN NEVER KEEP A SECRET.

ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT.

FORGET MY GREENPEACE DONATION THIS YEAR.

NO, REALLY, HOW DID YOU KNOW?

YOUR POLICE OFFICER FRIEND, TOM HANSON.

HE CALLED--

TOLD ME YOU WERE A GOOD GUY.

SAID IF I DIDN'T GO OUT WITH YOU

THEY WOULD HAVE TO

PUT YOU TO SLEEP.

HANSON?

BUT BEFORE WE GO OUT, THERE IS SOMETHING I WANT TO ASK YOU.

DO YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?

ME?

NO, THE WHALE.

OF COURSE NOT.

WAIT, DON'T ANSWER SO FAST.

I'M ASKING FOR THE TRUTH HERE.

YOU KNOW, HONESTY.

NO, I REALLY DON'T.

'CAUSE I'M REALLY TIRED OF THAT.

YOU KNOW, DATING SOME GUY WHO HAS A WHOLE OTHER LIFE.

ME TOO.

I MEAN ABOUT DATING SOME GIRL.

OKAY, GOOD.

I KNOW THIS GREAT FISH FRY PLACE.

SHH! NOT IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN.

HI.

HARLEY?

YOU MUST BE HARLEY, RIGHT?

I'M TOM HANSON.

I KNOW.

THEN I GUESS YOU KNOW WHY I'M HERE, RIGHT?

MORE THAN YOU DO.

YOU CAN BET ON IT.

YOU LIKE MOTORCYCLES?

YEAH, I LIKE MOTORCYCLES.

YEAH, ME, TOO.

I LIKE SCARING THE HECK OUT OF MYSELF

YOU KNOW?

COOL.

YOU RACE THIS THING?

YEAH, I USED TO.

BACK WHEN I COULD PASS THE PHYSICAL.

SO YOU'RE A COP, HUH?

YEAH.

YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE A COP.

I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO.

THAT'S WHY THEY GIVE ME THIS KIND OF ASSIGNMENT.

YOU LIKE IT?

BEING A COP? IT'S ALL RIGHT.

NO, I MEAN, GETTING THIS KIND OF AN ASSIGNMENT?

BABY-SITTING SOME KID

SO HE DOESN'T BITE SOMEONE OR BREATHE ON THEM, HUH?

THAT'S NOT WHY I'M HERE.

ARE YOU COLLECTING FOR THE POLICE BENEVOLENT FUND?

I'M HERE BECAUSE YOUR CIVIL RIGHTS HAVE BEEN VIOLATED

AND YOU'RE GETTING KICKED AROUND AT SCHOOL.

I'M SUPPOSED TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE.

I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT SOMEONE WITH YOUR...

SITUATION

COULD DIE IF YOU GET TOO BRUISED OR SOMETHING.

LOOK, IT'S A CONDITION.

LAVERNE AND SHIRLEY IS A SITUATION.

OKAY, BEING A BLEEDER, WHATEVER.

ANYWAY, I HEAR IT'S A REAL BITCH OF A DISEASE.

IT'S HEMOPHILIA, OKAY?

AND IT'S A CONDITION

BUT IT IS A BITCH.

NOW, AIDS, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS A DISEASE.

YOU'VE GOT A HELL OF A BEDSIDE MANNER.

I'M A COP, NOT A DOCTOR.

OH?

DID THEY TELL YOU I'M GOING TO DIE, DOC?

EVERYBODY'S GOING TO DIE.

YEAH, BUT MOST OF US DON'T KNOW WHEN.

THAT'S THE THING ABOUT AIDS, MAN.

I'VE GOT ABOUT TWO YEARS MAX.

YOU MIND IF I SMOKE?

THAT, YEAH.

OOH.

IT'S AGAINST THE LAW.

SO WHAT?

THIS IS GOING TO BE HARD AS IT IS.

LOOK, PAL, UNDERSTAND SOMETHING--

A GUY WITH A DEATH SENTENCE

DOESN'T WORRY ABOUT BREAKING LAWS.

YOU BETTER WORRY WITH ME.

( loud knocking )

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE.

DOROTHY?

HI, DOUG.

DOROTHY PEZZINO?

DOUG PENHALL?

THIS IS SORT OF...

SURPRISED?

SHOCKED.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WAITING TO BE INVITED IN.

I SEE YOU'RE STILL A SLOB.

SO, THIS IS THE PLACE.

YES, I AM AND IT IS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN IT?

COME ON, DON'T PLAY GAMES WITH ME.

YOU KNOW.

I JUST WANT TO HEAR YOU SAY IT... QUICKLY.

HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

BETTER.

HAVE YOU TURNED INTO A FLIT?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WOW, YOU LOOK GREAT.

I DON'T FEEL GREAT.

IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS.

TWO YEARS, THREE MONTHS AND 12 DAYS.

TWO YEARS, THREE MONTHS AND 11 DAYS--

LIVING WITH TODD RUBACH.

SEVEN DAYS.

I LEFT HIM LAST WEDNESDAY.

BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING HERE?

WHY ARE YOU SO HOSTILE?

LAST TIME YOU CALLED THE COPS ON ME.

MY POP CALLED THE COPS.

( buzzer )

YOU GOT SOMEWHERE TO GO?

NO, I...

THIS IS BIZARRE.

DOUG, DO YOU HAVE A DATE?

NO, I...

YES, I DO.

THAT'S GREAT.

FOR TWO YEARS YOU'VE BEEN LIVING WITH A GUY

WHO SELLS STARCH BLOCKERS.

YOU HAVE A DATE?

YES, DOROTHY, I DO.

OKAY, FINE.

I CAN DEAL WITH THAT TONIGHT

BUT WHAT ABOUT US?

US?

YOU PROMISED THAT IF I EVER WANTED TO COME BACK...

EVER...

EVEN IN A MILLION YEARS...

YOU PROMISED TO TAKE ME BACK AND LOVE ME FOREVER.

Doug: I SAID THAT?

Dorothy: A LOT.

I WANT BACK.

AM I INTERRUPTING?

YES.

NO.

THIS IS DOROTHY PEN...

PEN...

PENHALL-- SHE'S MY SISTER.

GIRLFRIEND.

GOOD NIGHT, PENNY.

GOOD-BYE, DOUG.

AND TO THINK, SOME PEOPLE WONDERED WHAT I SAW IN YOU.

(protestors chanting)

SO DOES ANYONE ELSE KNOW YOU'RE A COP?

THAT'S NOT USUALLY HOW WE DO IT.

THAT WOULD MAKE IT TOUGH

TO BUST SOME KID SMOKING A JOINT IN THE JOHN.

THANK YOU.

I'M NOT HERE TO BUST KIDS FOR SMOKING POT IN THE JOHN.

JUST IN THE GARAGE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO TALK TO ME.

I DON'T GET PAID EXTRA.

WHAT IF I TELL THEM YOU'RE A COP?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

I WOULD THANK YOU.

THEN THEY'D HAVE TO GET YOU A NEW BOY.

HEY, TOM!

RIGHT HERE.

THEY GOT ROOM FOR US.

YOU DON'T MIND, DO YOU?

COME ON.

YOU'VE GOT PLENTY OF LUNCH TIME LEFT.

WHERE YOU GOING?

I'LL CATCH YOU GUYS AFTER SCHOOL.

I'D THINK SOMEONE IN YOUR SITUATION

WOULD WANT TO BE MAKING FRIENDS INSTEAD OF LOSING THEM.

YOU THINK I WOULD MAKE FRIENDS WITH THESE GUYS?

THEIR PARENTS ARE OUTSIDE HOLDING THE SIGNS.

GOD FORBID I KISS ONE OF THEIR DAUGHTERS.

NOT A CHANCE.

YOU'RE REAL TOUGH-- YOU AND JAMES DEAN.

THIS COWBOY WANTS TO DIE ALONE.

LOOK--

FIRST, I DON'T WANT TO DIE.

SECOND, FROM WHAT I GET, EVERYONE DIES ALONE.

THERE'S NO CHAPERON.

JUST YOU, HANSON.

JUST YOU AND YOUR STUFF.

WHAT ABOUT GOD?

YEAH, WELL... I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

I WASN'T ALWAYS SUCH A HORSE'S ASS.

I HOPE NOT.

BUT DEAD MEN DON'T MAKE FRIENDS EASILY--

ESPECIALLY WITH KIDS

WHO THINK THEY'LL NEVER DIE.

LIKE YOU--

LIKE EVERYBODY IN HERE, BUT ME.

I WISH THEY WEREN'T SO AFRAID TO EVEN TOUCH ME.

NOBODY TOUCHES ME ANYMORE.

NOT MY DAD--

HARDLY EVEN MY MOM.

IT'S THE WORST PART.

I'M GIVING THEM RUBBER GLOVES

FOR THEIR ANNIVERSARY.

I FORGOT MY MILK.

HERE.

I DON'T LIKE CHOCOLATE.

YEAH, WELL...

NO ONE DOES.

Doug: JUST TELL HER I CALLED.

PENNY ABLE.

TELL HER DOUG PENHALL CALLED.

I KNOW I CALLED BEFORE.

I KNOW HOW MANY TIMES.

JUST PLEASE TELL HER I CALLED, OKAY?

( phone ringing )

PENHALL.

We've got to talk.

I'VE BEEN CALLING ALL MORNING.

YOU WERE RIGHT HERE.

DOROTHY.

DO YOU WANT PEAS, CORN OR CARROTS?

DOESN'T MATTER.

YES, IT DOES.

WHICH ONE?

WHATEVER YOU WANT.

Doesn't matter.

OKAY, CORN.

NOT PEAS?

OKAY, PEAS.

I THOUGHT YOU WANTED CORN.

I DO, BUT PEAS ARE FINE.

CARROTS, LIZARD EGGS-- IT DOESN'T MATTER.

SO NOW YOU'RE MAD.

NO, I'M NOT.

I'm... I...

I THINK WE HAVE TO TALK.

THAT'S WHY I CALLED.

PEAS, CORN OR CARROTS?

WHERE'S YOUR HELMET?

I DON'T WEAR ONE--

TOO SAFE.

WHEN I RACED, YEAH, FULL LEATHERS

BUT THEN THE BUMMER VIRUS.

MY MOM FREAKED.

MY DAD HAD A MAN-TO-MAN WITH ME.

HE SAID LIFE WASN'T FAIR, AND TO LIVE EVERY MOMENT.

THEN HE CRIED.

DOESN'T TALK TO ME MUCH NOW.

HOW'S THAT FOR A DEATH BENEFIT?

HEY...

GREAT MOVE, DINK-BREATH.

POOLISH, I'D BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF YOU

BUT I'M AFRAID I MIGHT CATCH SOMETHING.

I'LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING.

HEY!

BOTH OF YOU.

GET OUT OF HERE.

HEY, LOOKS LIKE YOUR BOYFRIEND'S HERE.

LEAVE HIM ALONE.

WE'RE TRYING, MAN.

WE'RE GOING.

WE'RE GONE.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

BYE, BOYS.

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YOU DIDN'T GET CUT OR NOTHING?

HEY!

LET ME GIVE YOU A RIDE.

HI.

HELLO.

HELLO AGAIN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I CAME TO APOLOGIZE.

THAT ISN'T NECESSARY.

NOT TO YOU, TO THE CHILDREN.

I'M SORRY.

YOU TOLD THESE GUYS YOU'RE SORRY.

THEY ACCEPT.

GO HOME.

I'VE DATED ALL THE LIARS I WILL EVER NEED.

I'M NOT A LIAR.

RELAX.

I ONLY LOST OUT ON A FREE DINNER.

NO BIG DEAL.

I'M NOT A LIAR.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

IT DOES TO ME.

LAST NIGHT, THAT GIRL--

SHE WAS MY GIRLFRIEND.

THE ONE YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T HAVE.

I DIDN'T.

LIKE I SAID, SHE WAS MY GIRLFRIEND IN HIGH SCHOOL.

SHE TOOK OFF.

I SAID SHE COULD ALWAYS COME BACK.

AND...

WELL, SHE CAME BACK.

CONGRATULATIONS.

THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO.

YOU COULD HAVE SAID IT'S TOO LATE.

MAYBE IT ISN'T.

YOU SEE, THAT'S IT.

YOU GUYS ARE ALWAYS

AFRAID TO MAKE A COMMITMENT.

SOMETHING BETTER MIGHT COME ALONG.

DOROTHY DIDN'T JUST COME ALONG.

SHE CAME BACK.

YOU DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN.

YOU'RE GOING TO LET DOROTHY STAY?

YEAH, I FIGURE I OWE HER THAT MUCH.

WHY?

BECAUSE I SAID I WOULD.

OH, YEAH, RIGHT.

YOU DON'T LIE.

IF IT DOESN'T WORK OUT WITH DOROTHY...

DON'T EVEN...

RIGHT, I WON'T CALL.

HE WOULDN'T SAY WHERE HE WAS GOING.

HE DIDN'T GO TO SCHOOL.

I WENT LOOKING FOR HIM.

HE WASN'T THERE.

I KNOW.

LAST NIGHT HE TOLD HIS FATHER AND ME

HE'S DECIDED TO QUIT--

THAT HE DIDN'T SEE MUCH POINT IN IT.

HE SAID, "YOU DON'T NEED GOOD S.A.T. SCORES

TO GET INTO HEAVEN."

QUITTING SCHOOL MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST THING.

AT LEAST, HARLEY'S RAISING AWARENESS OF THE DISEASE.

MY LITTLE BOY IS DYING.

BUT I GUESS YOU KNOW THAT.

YES, MA'AM.

OR THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY.

I DON'T MEAN THE DOCTORS

I MEAN THE NEWSPAPERS.

DOCTORS WON'T TELL YOU ANYTHING EXCEPT

"WELL, RESEARCH IS BEING DONE

ON SOME GUY WHO'S LIVED WITH AIDS."

READ THE NEWSPAPERS-- ALL I READ IS BODY COUNT.

IN TWO MORE YEARS

MORE PEOPLE WILL BE DEAD FROM AIDS

THAN FROM THE VIETNAM WAR.

THIS IS EASY TO SAY, AND MAYBE I HAVE NO RIGHT

BUT THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE.

I MEAN, I HOPE THERE'S HOPE.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT HOPE IS?

FEAR.

HOPE IS ALL THAT'S LEFT

WHEN YOU'RE AFRAID TO FACE WHAT'S REAL.

HARLEY IS DYING.

BUT THAT'S NOTHING NEW.

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DYING

FROM THIS FOR EIGHT YEARS.

YET, OUR PRESIDENT

HAS NEVER EVEN PUBLICLY MENTIONED THE WORD AIDS.

I BET HE WOULD IF HIS KID HAD IT.

YEAH, PROBABLY.

MAYBE THEN THOSE DRUGS

THAT ARE FIVE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD

WOULD BE AVAILABLE TODAY.

BUT THEY'RE NOT.

THANK YOU FOR SPENDING TIME WITH HARLEY.

EVEN IF HE DIDN'T TELL YOU

HE LIKES YOU.

I CAN TELL.

I'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE HIM.

COULD YOU, UH... TELL ME WHERE HE IS?

HE ASKED ME NOT TO.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID HE LIKED ME.

HE DOES.

BUT YOU MAKE HIM FEEL LIKE A LEPER.

WHY?

NEXT TIME, DRINK THE MILK.

IT WON'T KILL YOU.

DON'T MOVE, DON'T MOVE.

IS IT AGAINST THE LAW TO QUIT SCHOOL NOW?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE.

I HAD HER WORKING THERE, HUH?

RELAX, I GO DOWN LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME.

THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BLAST.

IT IS.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

YOU CAN CHECK OUT NOW, HANSON.

DON'T NEED YOUR PROTECTION.

NEVER REALLY DID.

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?

YOUR MOM.

I ASKED HER NOT TO.

HEY, LOOK, I'M SORRY ABOUT THE MILK.

RELAX, HANSON, YOU GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT

UNLESS WE HAVE SEX OR SHARE THE SAME HYPODERMIC NEEDLE.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU.

I'M NOT INTERESTED IN EITHER

OF THOSE OPTIONS.

YOU WANT TO GIVE ME A HAND?

YEAH.

YOUR MOM'S VERY COOL.

YEAH, SHE'S A GREAT LADY.

IT'S TOO BAD, TOO.

SHE HAD BIG PLANS FOR ME.

I HAD BIG PLANS FOR ME.

LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

SHE'LL HOLD UP.

WANT TO TAKE HER FOR A SPIN?

REALLY?

YEAH.

ABSOLUTELY.

ONE DOWN, FIVE UP

RIGHT?

WATCH THAT CLUTCH.

IT'S A KILLER.

THANKS.

WATCH THE CLUTCH.

NO PROBLEM.

JUST WATCH IT ANYWAY, BIG SHOT.

I'VE RIDDEN BEFORE ON A POLICE MOTORCYCLE--

A HARLEY.

OOH, BIG DEAL.

BIGGER THAN THIS.

YEAH.

YEAH.

COME ON, I CAN HANDLE IT.

JUST WATCH THAT CLUTCH.

I'M WATCHING IT ALREADY.

ON A POLICE BIKE, HUH?

A HARLEY?

I WASN'T USED TO THE CLUTCH.

SURE.

I WASN'T.

Harley: I'M GOING INTO TURN TWO.

IT'S FLAT OUT RIGHT.

I'M 16, OPEN CLASS

IN MY FOURTH RACE.

I'M ON THE GUY FOR THIRD.

HE MISSES A DOWN SHIFT.

BAM! I TAG HIM.

SOME JERK WON IT WITH A BIKE HIS DAD BOUGHT.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

DID YOU EVER WIN ONE?

NO, CAME SECOND AT A QUALIFIER.

ONLY RACED IN TWO NATIONALS BEFORE I GOT SICK.

THREE, BUT I FINISHED IN 14th.

IT WAS COOL, THOUGH.

MAN, IT WAS VERY COOL.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN THINKING.

WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS, IF YOU'RE A HEMOPHILIAC

AND YOU CAN'T RISK GETTING HURT

HOW CAN YOU RACE MOTORCYCLES?

BECAUSE IT'S A LIE.

YOU DON'T RACE MOTORCYCLES?

NO, I'M... NOT HEMOPHILIAC.

YOU MADE IT UP?

I DIDN'T, MY DAD DID.

WE GOT ALL THIS ATTENTION

ABOUT ME BEING KEPT OUT OF SCHOOL.

HE HAD TO TELL THEM SOMETHING.

WHY NOT JUST TELL THE TRUTH?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

MY DAD?

LOOK, HANSON

THERE ARE THREE WAYS TO GET AIDS--

BLOOD TRANSFUSION, NEEDLES...

I DON'T USE NEEDLES

AND I'VE NEVER HAD A BLOOD TRANSFUSION.

SO FIGURE IT OUT.

YOUR DAD WASN'T REAL COOL ABOUT IT, HUH?

HE'S LIKE THE ANITA BRYANT OF THE HARDWARE BUSINESS.

AND, WELL...

I'M NOT.

( clears throat )

YOU CAN RELAX, HANSON.

WE DON'T BITE.

LUCKY FOR YOU.

OH, I'M NOT WORRIED.

I'M GLAD.

LOOK, I'M REALLY SORRY

YOU GOT INVOLVED IN ALL THIS.

IT WASN'T MY IDEA.

I FEEL BAD.

ONCE WE FOOLED THEM THAT I WAS A BLEEDER--

THEY FIGURED I NEEDED PROTECTION

BECAUSE THERE WAS GOING TO BE TROUBLE.

LIKE AT THE OTHER SCHOOLS.

GOT WAY OUT OF HAND.

ARE YOU DYING OF AIDS?

NO.

SO THEN THIS WHOLE THING IS CRAP.

I HAVE AIDS.

BUT I'M NOT GOING TO DIE FROM IT.

I'M GOING TO BEAT IT.

YEAH?

YEAH.

I'M GOING TO FLAT OUT BEAT IT.

GOOD TO HEAR THAT.

YOU KNOW HOW YOU BEAT AIDS?

DON'T LET IT KILL YOU FIRST.

WHEN YOU'RE NOT HAPPY ANYMORE

TAKE YOURSELF OUT.

WAIT, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT SUICIDE?

MAYBE.

IF I'M GOING TO DIE, AT LEAST I'LL KNOW WHEN.

IS THIS ONE YOUR DEALS OR IS IT SERIOUS?

THAT DEPENDS...

ON WHETHER YOU'RE A FRIEND OR NOT.

KNOW HOW MANY FRIENDS I HAVE, HANSON?

ONE.

YOU.

I MEAN, UH... IF YOU ARE.

YEAH, I'M YOUR FRIEND.

WHICH MEANS YOU CAN'T GO AND BLAB THIS TO YOUR BOSS.

OKAY.

AND YOU WON'T TRY TO STOP ME.

NOBODY CAN STOP YOU IF YOU WANT TO DO IT.

I WANT TO DO IT, ALL RIGHT.

YEAH, RIGHT.

CHECK IT OUT.

ON MY BIRTHDAY.

RIGHT DOWN TO THE VERY MINUTE.

THE EIGHTH OF THIS MONTH, AT 5:46 A.M..

THAT'S DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

WHAT A COINCIDENCE.

I'M GOING TO FLY MY BIKE OFF THE END OF CLEAR CANYON

AND SEE IF I CAN TOUCH THE SUN.

Dorothy: WHO IS IT?

DOUG?

DOUG, IS THAT YOU?

IT'S ME.

WHERE WERE YOU?

OUT.

OUT IS A BIG PLACE.

I'M A BIG BOY.

I WAS WORRIED.

LISTEN...

I THINK WE OUGHT TO GIVE THIS THING

ONE MORE SHOT.

I'M STILL NOT OVER YOU YET--

AND I MUST NOT BE IF I'M GOING THROUGH ALL THIS--

AND I FIGURE

MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING THERE, YOU KNOW?

OF COURSE I KNOW.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M DOING?

YOU'RE TAKING OFF YOUR CLOTHES.

AND THEY SAY YOU'RE NOT A ROCKET SCIENTIST.

I'M NOT A ROCKET SCIENTIST.

I'M GOING TO BED.

HERE?

THAT'S WHERE I USUALLY DO IT.

I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE MADE OUR MISTAKE LAST TIME.

LET'S WAIT.

WAIT?

WAIT.

WAIT?!

JUST UNTIL YOU'RE SURE.

I'LL NEVER BE SURE.

THIS THING HAS TURNED INTO A GIANT MESS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

PUNT.

WE COULD HAVE HIM PICKED UP

AND PUT INTO PROTECTIVE CUSTODY.

I CAN'T DO THAT.

HE MADE A SUICIDE THREAT TO A POLICE OFFICER.

THAT'S A CRIME.

ONLY IF HE GOES THROUGH WITH IT.

BESIDES, I WASN'T A POLICE OFFICER WHEN HE TOLD ME

I WAS A FRIEND.

WHICH IS SOMETHING, I GUESS

PEOPLE WITH AIDS DON'T HAVE A LOT OF.

I GAVE HIM MY WORD.

IS YOUR WORD WORTH MORE THAN SAVING HIS LIFE?

THAT'S THE THING--

NOBODY CAN SAVE HIS LIFE, NOT EVEN HIM.

OKAY. IS YOUR WORD WORTH MORE THAN MAKING IT A LITTLE LONGER?

I DON'T KNOW.

COME ON, HANSON.

IT IS TO HIM.

I BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.

OR-- HE'S JUST SEEING HOW GOOD A FRIEND YOU ARE.

I AM NOBODY TO PLAY GOD WITH THIS KID.

DOESN'T HARLEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DIE WHEN HE WANTS TO?

THERE'S ONLY ONE GUY WHO HAS THAT RIGHT.

HE DOESN'T RIDE MOTORCYCLES, THOUGH.

HIS ROBES GET CAUGHT IN THE SPOKES.

SO YOU WON'T HELP ME?

I DON'T HAVE TO.

I FIGURED YOU WOULD TURN COP--

WIMP OUT.

I DIDN'T WIMP OUT.

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU DID, THOUGH.

I MEAN ABOUT TRYING TO STOP ME.

YOU GAVE ME YOUR WORD.

I GAVE YOU MY WORD THAT I WOULDN'T TELL ANYBODY.

AND I DID.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO CATCH MY LIE

IT MIGHT AS WELL BE THE RIGHT ONE.

STILL FRIENDS?

WE WERE...

ALMOST.

LET'S PRETEND WE STILL ARE ALMOST.

SO THE NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO KILL YOURSELF

DON'T TELL ME.

I CAN'T TAKE IT.

HANSON--

I CAN'T TAKE IT EITHER.

I'M GLAD YOU CAME.

NOBODY ELSE WOULD HAVE.

I DON'T WANT TO DIE, MAN.

I KNOW.

BUT I AM.

I'M SORRY.

WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR?

SURE.

JUST HOLD ME, MAN.

HOW IS MARRIED LIFE TREATING YOU?

I'M NOT MARRIED.

I'M IN HELL.

YOU'RE JUST ABOUT MARRIED.

WHAT DID I SAY?

MARRIED.

I AM NEVER GETTING MARRIED.

SOME GIRLS HAVE ALL THE LUCK.

THERE'S MEAT LOAF, MASHED POTATOES,

PEAS, CARROTS, CORN.

WHO WANTS WHAT?

PEAS.

NOT CORN?

TAKE ALL THREE.

TRUST ME.

( phone rings )

I'LL GET IT.

Judy: WHICH ONE VEGGIE WOULD YOU LIKE, CAPTAIN?

CARROTS.

HELLO?

YEAH, I'LL GET HIM.

HANSON, IT'S FOR YOU.

QUITE A LITTLE WOMAN YOU'VE GOT THERE.

YEAH, HANSON.

Tom, I thought you should know

HARLEY DIED THIS EVENING OF PNEUMONIA.

I'M SORRY.

HE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU

IT'S OKAY ABOUT THE MILK.
