00:00:37,688 --> 00:00:40,223
Please prepare to exit the ferry.
3
00:00:43,427 --> 00:00:44,728
Attention on deck.
4
00:00:44,729 --> 00:00:46,644
We are now arriving at Fire Island Pines.
5
00:00:47,198 --> 00:00:49,198
Welcome to Fire Island, everybody.
6
00:00:49,199 --> 00:00:50,999
Please take care exiting the boat.
7
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,202
Those steps can be wet.
8
00:00:53,203 --> 00:00:55,238
Also double-check you
have all your luggage...
9
00:01:00,711 --> 00:01:02,278
Have a good day.
10
00:01:22,301 --> 00:01:24,735
- Hey, Weeks.
- Hey, honey.
11
00:01:24,736 --> 00:01:27,405
How you doing?
12
00:01:27,406 --> 00:01:29,541
We're doing great.
13
00:01:33,045 --> 00:01:35,080
Here we are.
14
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,454
What are you guys doing?
15
00:01:43,455 --> 00:01:46,423
Hairy is out. Your turn, teddy bear.
16
00:01:46,424 --> 00:01:48,225
Oh, no, I love my teddy.
17
00:01:48,226 --> 00:01:50,761
Calvin Klein would not approve.
18
00:01:50,762 --> 00:01:53,163
Baseball game is on
19
00:01:53,164 --> 00:01:55,699
and my summer has officially begun.
20
00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:57,134
The thing is, he actually means it.
21
00:01:57,135 --> 00:01:58,802
- Hey, baby.
- How are you?
22
00:01:58,803 --> 00:02:01,305
- Cold beer?
- No, I've already had a couple.
23
00:02:01,306 --> 00:02:03,840
Nice stripes, Lieutenant. Hot.
24
00:02:03,841 --> 00:02:06,042
Oh, please... Captain.
25
00:02:06,043 --> 00:02:07,944
Just got back from the Reserves.
26
00:02:07,945 --> 00:02:11,447
You know what they say, once a
month I get to play a real man.
27
00:02:11,448 --> 00:02:14,250
Oh, haven't seen you at the gym lately.
28
00:02:14,251 --> 00:02:16,853
Bruce?
29
00:02:16,854 --> 00:02:19,422
- Your turn, Bruce.
- What? What?
30
00:02:19,423 --> 00:02:21,691
Brucey, please, don't embarrass
our house at the beach, hon.
31
00:02:21,692 --> 00:02:23,760
Uh-oh. Gotta do it.
32
00:02:25,696 --> 00:02:27,230
You know what they say, Ned.
33
00:02:27,231 --> 00:02:29,532
If you can't beat 'em...
34
00:02:31,401 --> 00:02:33,436
join 'em.
35
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,839
That's my guy.
36
00:02:43,447 --> 00:02:45,180
Craig was miserable when
you weren't interested.
37
00:02:45,181 --> 00:02:47,382
Now look. He's got Robert Redford.
38
00:02:47,383 --> 00:02:49,551
Shows you there is a God.
39
00:02:49,552 --> 00:02:52,087
- How's John?
- John?
40
00:02:52,088 --> 00:02:54,456
- John.
- John? Oh, John.
41
00:02:54,457 --> 00:02:56,725
No, I'm with Gregory now.
42
00:02:56,726 --> 00:02:58,827
We're celebrating our
15-month anniversary.
43
00:02:58,828 --> 00:03:01,363
15? That's a long time for you, Mickey.
44
00:03:01,364 --> 00:03:04,032
Oh, please, we're lovers
and we live together.
45
00:03:04,033 --> 00:03:05,933
It's not like we're
faithful to each other, too.
46
00:03:05,934 --> 00:03:09,103
He's not even Jewish. Don't tell my rabbi.
47
00:03:12,308 --> 00:03:14,976
My God.
48
00:03:14,977 --> 00:03:17,611
He He Hey,
49
00:03:17,612 --> 00:03:20,481
Why do you even come here anymore?
50
00:03:20,482 --> 00:03:21,916
We don't want you.
51
00:03:23,752 --> 00:03:26,587
You made us look terrible in your novel.
52
00:03:26,588 --> 00:03:28,856
Look around you. Sex is liberating.
53
00:03:28,857 --> 00:03:32,126
All I said was having so much
sex makes finding love impossible.
54
00:03:32,127 --> 00:03:34,961
Do not put your failure to find someone
55
00:03:34,962 --> 00:03:37,898
- on the rest of us.
- Neddy!
56
00:03:37,899 --> 00:03:39,366
- Ow!
- Oh, jeez.
57
00:03:46,541 --> 00:03:48,342
Oh, God.
58
00:03:51,478 --> 00:03:54,014
Guys!
59
00:04:00,121 --> 00:04:02,122
Hey, what happened?
60
00:04:02,123 --> 00:04:04,024
- You okay?
- I'm okay.
61
00:04:04,025 --> 00:04:05,959
Just got a little lightheaded.
62
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,860
I got myself up. I'm fine.
63
00:04:07,861 --> 00:04:12,164
I just got a little dizzy.
64
00:04:12,165 --> 00:04:14,834
He seemed okay.
65
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:39,058
Blow!
66
00:04:39,059 --> 00:04:41,560
He's good at that.
67
00:04:53,606 --> 00:04:56,274
I fucking love this place!
68
00:05:31,642 --> 00:05:35,012
Ned! Hey, Ned!
69
00:05:35,013 --> 00:05:37,114
Come on. Please?
70
00:07:21,682 --> 00:07:23,817
I sold you a ceramic pig once
71
00:07:23,818 --> 00:07:26,853
at Maison France on Bleecker Street.
72
00:07:26,854 --> 00:07:28,855
I'm Sanford.
73
00:07:28,856 --> 00:07:30,490
Yes, I remember.
74
00:07:30,491 --> 00:07:32,526
Somebody I was friends
with then collected pigs
75
00:07:32,527 --> 00:07:35,829
and you had the biggest pig I'd
ever seen outside a real pig.
76
00:07:41,635 --> 00:07:43,369
They just keep getting bigger
77
00:07:43,370 --> 00:07:45,438
and won't go away.
78
00:07:46,673 --> 00:07:48,874
I'm her 20th case.
79
00:07:49,876 --> 00:07:51,945
And six of them are dead.
80
00:08:01,621 --> 00:08:03,556
Hey, Ned. Won't be a minute.
81
00:08:03,557 --> 00:08:05,624
Hey, Buzzy. I didn't know you worked here.
82
00:08:11,064 --> 00:08:13,599
Who are you?
83
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,402
Uh, Ned Weeks. I spoke to
you after the "Times" article.
84
00:08:19,072 --> 00:08:20,305
Come in. Take your clothes off.
85
00:08:20,306 --> 00:08:22,607
I only came to ask some questions.
86
00:08:26,145 --> 00:08:27,812
You are gay, aren't you?
87
00:08:27,813 --> 00:08:29,848
Yes.
88
00:08:29,849 --> 00:08:31,483
Take your clothes off. Don't be nervous.
89
00:08:31,484 --> 00:08:34,285
I've seen more men than you have.
90
00:08:37,857 --> 00:08:40,424
To answer all of
your questions, I don't know.
91
00:08:40,425 --> 00:08:44,028
I've never seen or heard
of anything like this.
92
00:08:44,029 --> 00:08:45,730
Have you had any of the symptoms?
93
00:08:45,731 --> 00:08:47,898
Most of the shit the "Times" said...
94
00:08:47,899 --> 00:08:50,001
amoebas, gonorrhea, hepatitis.
95
00:08:50,002 --> 00:08:52,603
You don't know what it's been
like since the sexual revolution.
96
00:08:52,604 --> 00:08:54,372
What makes you think I don't?
97
00:08:54,373 --> 00:08:57,708
Any fever, night sweats, weight loss?
98
00:08:57,709 --> 00:09:00,177
Don't I wish. No.
99
00:09:00,178 --> 00:09:02,913
And purple lesions? Open your mouth.
100
00:09:04,148 --> 00:09:06,449
It's a cancer.
101
00:09:06,450 --> 00:09:08,785
There's a strange reaction
in the immune system.
102
00:09:08,786 --> 00:09:11,454
It's collapsed. Won't fight.
103
00:09:11,455 --> 00:09:13,590
So the diseases most of my
patients are coming down with
104
00:09:13,591 --> 00:09:16,326
are brought on by germs
that wouldn't hurt a baby.
105
00:09:18,295 --> 00:09:19,295
Tick wlish.
106
00:09:19,296 --> 00:09:21,273
At least not a baby in
New York City anyway.
107
00:09:21,274 --> 00:09:24,367
The immune system is the
system we know the least about.
108
00:09:28,539 --> 00:09:30,806
So where's this big
mouth I hear you've got?
109
00:09:30,807 --> 00:09:33,076
- Is big mouth a symptom?
- No.
110
00:09:33,077 --> 00:09:34,911
It's a cure.
111
00:09:34,912 --> 00:09:37,146
This seems to only be happening to gay men.
112
00:09:37,147 --> 00:09:40,349
Buzzy says you are well-known
in the gay community
113
00:09:40,350 --> 00:09:42,752
and not afraid to say what you think.
114
00:09:42,753 --> 00:09:45,087
I can't find any gay leaders
115
00:09:45,088 --> 00:09:48,824
and I call gay organizations,
no one ever calls me back.
116
00:09:48,825 --> 00:09:52,428
Dr. Brookner, no one with half a
brain gets involved with gay politics.
117
00:09:52,429 --> 00:09:54,763
- There's no room for criticism.
- What's your criticism?
118
00:09:54,764 --> 00:09:56,231
I hate that we play victim
119
00:09:56,232 --> 00:09:57,999
when many of us, most of us, don't have to.
120
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,834
Then you're exactly what's needed now.
121
00:09:59,835 --> 00:10:01,937
Maybe they're just waiting
for someone to lead them.
122
00:10:01,938 --> 00:10:03,539
I don't want to lead them.
123
00:10:03,540 --> 00:10:06,108
What exactly are you
trying to get me to do?
124
00:10:06,109 --> 00:10:08,243
Tell gay men to stop having sex.
125
00:10:10,345 --> 00:10:13,014
Do you think that this cancer
is sexually transmitted?
126
00:10:13,015 --> 00:10:14,816
I think it is, yes.
127
00:10:14,817 --> 00:10:17,251
Can I prity it yet? No.
128
00:10:19,354 --> 00:10:21,623
Do you realize that you're talking about
129
00:10:21,624 --> 00:10:23,291
millions of men
130
00:10:23,292 --> 00:10:25,226
who have singled out promiscuity
131
00:10:25,227 --> 00:10:27,495
as their principal political agenda?
132
00:10:27,496 --> 00:10:30,798
- How do you deal with that?
- Tell them they may die.
133
00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:34,102
- Where?
- Down the hall. Down the hall!
134
00:10:34,103 --> 00:10:37,037
It's not that simple. It's
more complicated than that.
135
00:10:37,038 --> 00:10:38,839
They think sex is all they have.
136
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,075
Mr. Weeks, if having sex can kill you,
137
00:10:41,076 --> 00:10:43,376
doesn't anyone with half
a brain stop fucking?
138
00:10:47,482 --> 00:10:49,984
You can go. I'm not finding
what I'm looking for here.
139
00:10:51,486 --> 00:10:54,287
- Where?
- Open up!
140
00:10:54,288 --> 00:10:56,223
- Where? Where?
- Right in that room.
141
00:10:56,224 --> 00:10:59,126
Just put him up on the table.
142
00:10:59,127 --> 00:11:01,161
Up here. Let's find a pulse.
143
00:11:01,162 --> 00:11:03,163
Baby, easy.
144
00:11:03,164 --> 00:11:05,698
- Be still.
- Can you tell me what happened?
145
00:11:05,699 --> 00:11:07,900
We were meeting him outside.
146
00:11:07,901 --> 00:11:09,802
We turned the corner and he just collapsed.
147
00:11:15,309 --> 00:11:16,809
Jesus!
148
00:11:16,810 --> 00:11:19,178
Hey, get the fuck out of the street!
149
00:11:20,648 --> 00:11:23,149
Baby!
150
00:11:23,150 --> 00:11:25,685
- Oh, my God!
- Help!
151
00:11:30,124 --> 00:11:31,724
- Who's the lover?
- I am, ma'am.
152
00:11:31,725 --> 00:11:33,959
- What's your name?
- Bruce Niles.
153
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,395
Brookner. I need a room immediately.
154
00:11:36,396 --> 00:11:38,531
Niles, you were Reinhardt's boyfriend.
155
00:11:38,532 --> 00:11:39,998
Yes, ma'am. How do you know that?
156
00:11:39,999 --> 00:11:42,301
He died three weeks ago.
157
00:12:15,133 --> 00:12:17,802
Wouldn't even let me say goodbye.
158
00:12:18,937 --> 00:12:22,673
Not even let me kiss him goodbye.
159
00:12:24,209 --> 00:12:26,510
He's dead?
160
00:12:34,319 --> 00:12:36,286
So sorry.
161
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,429
It can happen this fast?
162
00:12:46,431 --> 00:12:48,665
It just did.
163
00:12:57,742 --> 00:13:00,944
We have to do something.
164
00:13:00,945 --> 00:13:03,279
No one else will.
165
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,982
What are we supposed to do?
166
00:13:10,420 --> 00:13:13,623
You make these assumptions
on the basis of 46 cases.
167
00:13:13,624 --> 00:13:17,159
You wanted to know what I
think. This is what I think.
168
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,295
You are all going to infect each other.
169
00:13:24,968 --> 00:13:27,603
Now only a few of you have.
170
00:13:27,604 --> 00:13:30,639
Unfortunately, we can't
tell yet which ones.
171
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,209
Long before we isolated
the hepatitis viruses,
172
00:13:34,210 --> 00:13:36,779
we knew about the diseases they caused
173
00:13:36,780 --> 00:13:38,580
and how they got around.
174
00:13:38,581 --> 00:13:40,482
Where are the medical
journals? The "Times"?
175
00:13:40,483 --> 00:13:43,752
I sent my first reports to the
medical journals over a year ago.
176
00:13:43,753 --> 00:13:46,388
Excuse me, how do you know
what you're looking for,
177
00:13:46,389 --> 00:13:49,157
real quick, if you don't
know what you're looking for?
178
00:13:49,158 --> 00:13:50,958
I'm sorry, I guess that's a dumb question.
179
00:13:50,959 --> 00:13:53,561
No, it isn't. It's the
smartest question of all
180
00:13:53,562 --> 00:13:55,363
and the hardest one to answer.
181
00:13:55,364 --> 00:13:58,065
Doesn't common sense tell you
you should cool it for a while?
182
00:14:00,135 --> 00:14:02,036
Why not?
183
00:14:02,037 --> 00:14:05,539
That doesn't leave much to look forward to.
184
00:14:05,540 --> 00:14:06,908
What if it turns out that you're wrong?
185
00:14:06,909 --> 00:14:08,609
Let her speak!
186
00:14:08,610 --> 00:14:12,146
The worst that could happen would
be that you cooled it for a while.
187
00:14:12,147 --> 00:14:14,615
No, excuse me. Excuse me.
188
00:14:14,616 --> 00:14:17,785
Excuse me. That is not the
worst that will have happened.
189
00:14:17,786 --> 00:14:19,920
Guys will become frightened of sex.
190
00:14:19,921 --> 00:14:21,455
We will lose our self-respect
191
00:14:21,456 --> 00:14:23,290
that we fought very, very hard for.
192
00:14:23,291 --> 00:14:25,025
We will be scapegoated worse than ever.
193
00:14:25,026 --> 00:14:26,627
The world will think we're carriers
194
00:14:26,628 --> 00:14:28,729
and the Moral Majority will
have even more of a field day.
195
00:14:31,299 --> 00:14:33,500
I am not coming back until
this bitch on wheels is gone.
196
00:14:33,501 --> 00:14:37,270
Wait! I see more cases each
week than the week before.
197
00:14:37,271 --> 00:14:39,339
Half of all my patients die.
198
00:14:40,842 --> 00:14:42,275
Okay, I hope she winds this up,
199
00:14:42,276 --> 00:14:44,444
'cause I've got a tiny
little orgy in New Rochelle.
200
00:14:44,445 --> 00:14:46,412
Where's the health
department? Where's the mayor?
201
00:14:46,413 --> 00:14:49,415
- Shut the fuck up, John.
- Oh, you shut the fuck up, hon.
202
00:14:49,416 --> 00:14:51,116
What are the numbers?
203
00:15:01,862 --> 00:15:03,830
Is every gay meeting like this?
204
00:15:05,466 --> 00:15:08,100
Half these people just
showed up to get laid.
205
00:15:10,003 --> 00:15:11,971
Quiet! Quiet!
206
00:15:11,972 --> 00:15:15,407
We're starting a group. We're
starting a health crisis group.
207
00:15:15,408 --> 00:15:17,042
We're gonna meet here again.
208
00:15:17,043 --> 00:15:19,278
Next time, bring some fucking food.
209
00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:21,413
Hey, hey, hey. That's not nice.
210
00:15:25,718 --> 00:15:28,119
Welcome to gay politics.
211
00:15:59,384 --> 00:16:02,453
Yeah, I'm very late for an important
meeting with Craig Claiborne.
212
00:16:02,454 --> 00:16:04,555
He's expecting me.
213
00:16:20,104 --> 00:16:22,339
- Hi, Felix Turner.
- And you are?
214
00:16:22,340 --> 00:16:25,108
My name's Ned Weeks.
215
00:16:25,109 --> 00:16:27,177
You're very cute.
216
00:16:27,178 --> 00:16:30,279
You caught me at a rough moment, all right?
217
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,214
I have a deadline. The
First Lady is coming to town.
218
00:16:32,215 --> 00:16:34,818
I've been told you're
gay and you might be able
219
00:16:34,819 --> 00:16:37,053
to help me get some vital
information in the "Times."
220
00:16:37,054 --> 00:16:39,722
You've "been told"? And
who was it that told you?
221
00:16:39,723 --> 00:16:42,826
Oh, honey, everybody's talking about it.
222
00:16:46,029 --> 00:16:47,529
Why does everyone gay
223
00:16:47,530 --> 00:16:49,198
think that I run "The New York Times"?
224
00:16:49,199 --> 00:16:51,167
I can't help you with this.
225
00:16:51,168 --> 00:16:53,336
Sorry to hear that. What
would you suggest I do?
226
00:16:53,337 --> 00:16:55,704
Take your pick. I got 23 parties,
227
00:16:55,705 --> 00:16:58,107
37 new restaurants, 12 new discos.
228
00:16:58,108 --> 00:17:01,110
Listen, I can't get anyone
here to write another article.
229
00:17:01,111 --> 00:17:02,878
I've talked to half a dozen reporters
230
00:17:02,879 --> 00:17:04,379
and the guy who worked on the first piece.
231
00:17:04,380 --> 00:17:06,815
"Mr. Leather"? Yeah, no.
232
00:17:06,816 --> 00:17:09,551
No one here will write
about it and I can't.
233
00:17:09,552 --> 00:17:11,820
Look, we're very compartmentalized.
234
00:17:11,821 --> 00:17:14,456
You wouldn't want science to
write about sweaters, would you?
235
00:17:14,457 --> 00:17:16,257
It's a very peculiar
feeling having to go out
236
00:17:16,258 --> 00:17:18,426
and seek support from a
straight world for something gay.
237
00:17:20,262 --> 00:17:22,030
I wouldn't know about that.
238
00:17:22,031 --> 00:17:24,432
I just write about gay
designers and gay discos
239
00:17:24,433 --> 00:17:26,767
and gay chefs and gay
models and gay rock stars
240
00:17:26,768 --> 00:17:28,936
and gay celebrities and gay everything.
241
00:17:28,937 --> 00:17:31,606
I just don't call them gay.
242
00:17:31,607 --> 00:17:34,009
Isn't it time you start?
243
00:17:36,077 --> 00:17:38,513
- Look, I really do have a deadline,
- Hmm.
244
00:17:38,514 --> 00:17:41,048
And you wouldn't want me to get fired.
245
00:17:41,049 --> 00:17:43,518
Would you?
246
00:17:43,519 --> 00:17:46,286
Guys like you give me a pain in the ass.
247
00:17:48,957 --> 00:17:51,125
- You in the book?
- Yes.
248
00:17:56,998 --> 00:17:59,500
Hi, guys. Give to gay cancer?
249
00:17:59,501 --> 00:18:02,102
Hi, give to gay cancer? No?
250
00:18:02,103 --> 00:18:03,303
Hi. Give to gay cancer?
251
00:18:03,304 --> 00:18:04,905
Hi, sir...
252
00:18:04,906 --> 00:18:07,074
Hi, give to gay cancer? There's
a cancer in the gay community.
253
00:18:07,075 --> 00:18:08,542
Can you give to gay cancer?
254
00:18:08,543 --> 00:18:10,777
There's a... there's a crisis
in our community right now.
255
00:18:10,778 --> 00:18:12,078
We could really use...
256
00:18:12,079 --> 00:18:13,847
We could use a little help. Anything? No?
257
00:18:13,848 --> 00:18:15,515
I think you could be a
little less aggressive.
258
00:18:15,516 --> 00:18:17,216
Less aggressive? We've tried that.
259
00:18:17,217 --> 00:18:19,419
Can you give to cancer in our community?
260
00:18:21,321 --> 00:18:23,356
Hi, give to gay cancer?
261
00:18:23,357 --> 00:18:25,258
Hi, give to gay cancer?
262
00:19:28,821 --> 00:19:32,990
It's funny. My mother sent flowers.
263
00:19:32,991 --> 00:19:35,726
And I had never told her I was gay.
264
00:19:35,727 --> 00:19:37,894
I just told her that Craig had died.
265
00:19:39,731 --> 00:19:42,799
I think she knew.
266
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,069
I think somehow mothers always know.
267
00:19:57,649 --> 00:20:01,051
Doesn't spending $5 million
on a house frighten you?
268
00:20:01,052 --> 00:20:04,787
Scared the shit out of me even
having you handling my finances.
269
00:20:04,788 --> 00:20:06,722
You can have a house anytime you want.
270
00:20:06,723 --> 00:20:09,425
Which reminds me, your
account needs more money.
271
00:20:09,426 --> 00:20:12,228
You're not doing too badly.
272
00:20:12,229 --> 00:20:14,130
I miss you being in the movie business.
273
00:20:14,131 --> 00:20:16,666
- I like movies.
- Do I detect a note of approval
274
00:20:16,667 --> 00:20:19,169
from the big brother
that called me "Lemon"?
275
00:20:20,237 --> 00:20:21,503
I don't want a house.
276
00:20:21,504 --> 00:20:22,738
Then why have you been searching
277
00:20:22,739 --> 00:20:24,273
in the country for so long for?
278
00:20:24,274 --> 00:20:27,376
- No fun living in it alone.
- This Bruce...
279
00:20:28,444 --> 00:20:29,679
is he someone you're seeing?
280
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,947
I see him, he doesn't see me.
281
00:20:34,450 --> 00:20:36,251
Ben...
282
00:20:36,252 --> 00:20:38,220
could your law firm take this on for free?
283
00:20:38,221 --> 00:20:40,289
What's it called? Pro bono?
284
00:20:40,290 --> 00:20:42,924
We started an organization, I
told you there's this new disease.
285
00:20:42,925 --> 00:20:45,960
Now this sounds like just another
excuse to keep from writing.
286
00:20:45,961 --> 00:20:47,729
Why can't you just say "yes"?
287
00:20:47,730 --> 00:20:49,764
I told you, because we have a committee
288
00:20:49,765 --> 00:20:51,466
that decides that kind of thing.
289
00:20:51,467 --> 00:20:52,634
But you're the senior partner
290
00:20:52,635 --> 00:20:54,769
and I'm your brother.
291
00:20:54,770 --> 00:20:58,173
Hey, Mario. How's Homer?
292
00:21:01,944 --> 00:21:04,579
If you're not gonna help, I'm
gonna have to find somebody else.
293
00:21:04,580 --> 00:21:06,881
- Well, you're more than free to do that.
- I don't want to do that.
294
00:21:06,882 --> 00:21:09,383
I want my big brother's fancy, famous,
295
00:21:09,384 --> 00:21:11,018
big-time, major law firm
296
00:21:11,019 --> 00:21:12,886
to be the first straight New York law firm
297
00:21:12,887 --> 00:21:14,522
to do pro bono work for a gay cause.
298
00:21:14,523 --> 00:21:16,824
I'd be real proud of that and
299
00:21:18,594 --> 00:21:20,728
I'll ask my partners'
approval at the next meeting.
300
00:21:20,729 --> 00:21:24,498
I'll lobby them. You don't
sound like a very sure vote.
301
00:21:32,540 --> 00:21:34,208
Okay.
302
00:21:39,147 --> 00:21:41,148
You're getting better at it.
303
00:21:44,252 --> 00:21:46,486
I'm seeing three
to four new patients a week.
304
00:21:46,487 --> 00:21:50,357
I've got seven in ICU. The whole
hospital only has room for 30.
305
00:21:50,358 --> 00:21:51,858
I've had to admit some of them under
306
00:21:51,859 --> 00:21:53,593
other illnesses. That's a no-no.
307
00:21:53,594 --> 00:21:56,129
I've got 20 in private
rooms they can't afford.
308
00:21:56,130 --> 00:21:58,898
Okay, what about the guys who
don't have health insurance...
309
00:21:58,899 --> 00:22:01,333
- artists, actors?
- I've got eight of them in another ward
310
00:22:01,334 --> 00:22:02,902
where I shouldn't put them.
311
00:22:12,679 --> 00:22:15,114
Why don't you wear gloves and a face mask?
312
00:22:15,115 --> 00:22:17,883
Never have and I never will.
313
00:22:17,884 --> 00:22:20,719
And I'm still here.
314
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,054
Why is all the food sitting
outside their rooms like this?
315
00:22:23,055 --> 00:22:24,790
- It's getting cold.
- It's always cold
316
00:22:24,791 --> 00:22:27,926
because the appropriate staff
won't bring it into the rooms,
317
00:22:27,927 --> 00:22:31,029
so it sits and rots
until one of my staff can.
318
00:22:32,365 --> 00:22:35,133
Right there. Yeah, by the water.
319
00:22:35,134 --> 00:22:36,634
Yeah, right through the tunnel.
320
00:22:36,635 --> 00:22:39,237
Take the tunnel. We'll take the book back.
321
00:22:40,339 --> 00:22:42,440
I know him. Can I go inside with you?
322
00:22:44,944 --> 00:22:47,578
Only if you wear all the protective shit.
323
00:22:47,579 --> 00:22:49,681
If you don't, I don't.
324
00:22:53,619 --> 00:22:56,187
Over there. Go the other way.
325
00:22:56,188 --> 00:22:58,122
No, are you listening to me?
326
00:22:58,123 --> 00:22:59,857
Are you listening to me? Go back.
327
00:22:59,858 --> 00:23:02,460
- Hi, Sanford.
- You see that? Take the tunnel.
328
00:23:02,461 --> 00:23:04,261
Go ahead, drive straight through.
329
00:23:04,262 --> 00:23:05,663
How we doing, soldier?
330
00:23:05,664 --> 00:23:08,398
I want my dog. Can you
please bring me my dog?
331
00:23:08,399 --> 00:23:10,901
He won't be able to live without me.
332
00:23:10,902 --> 00:23:13,938
I want my dog. I want my dog.
333
00:23:13,939 --> 00:23:15,706
Go ahead. That's right.
334
00:23:15,707 --> 00:23:18,575
Oh, good. Good. No. Take the book back.
335
00:23:18,576 --> 00:23:20,444
Right there. Pull hard.
336
00:23:20,445 --> 00:23:22,146
Right there.
337
00:23:22,147 --> 00:23:24,147
Can you please bring me my dog?
338
00:23:24,148 --> 00:23:25,849
He won't know how to live without me.
339
00:23:30,521 --> 00:23:33,056
Don't bother.
340
00:23:33,057 --> 00:23:36,460
Who's going to bring me my dog?
341
00:23:36,461 --> 00:23:39,829
His name is Skip. He'll
come when you call him.
342
00:23:39,830 --> 00:23:42,131
Please.
343
00:23:44,401 --> 00:23:46,802
I miss him.
344
00:23:53,277 --> 00:23:55,278
I miss him.
345
00:23:57,146 --> 00:23:59,348
Can you imagine this at 19?
346
00:23:59,349 --> 00:24:02,885
Your first boyfriend you were
gonna spend your whole life with.
347
00:24:10,193 --> 00:24:11,660
- Excuse me.
- Yeah.
348
00:24:11,661 --> 00:24:13,795
You're the TV guy?
349
00:24:13,796 --> 00:24:15,830
Please go to room 407 and fix it.
350
00:24:15,831 --> 00:24:18,566
- No I'm not gonna do that.
- Fix the TV. It's your fucking job.
351
00:24:18,567 --> 00:24:21,536
My union says I don't gotta risk my life
352
00:24:21,537 --> 00:24:23,505
for some contagious fairy.
353
00:24:23,506 --> 00:24:26,375
If I have to go in there,
then I fucking quit.
354
00:24:35,317 --> 00:24:38,486
So what exactly has your side been doing?
355
00:25:03,377 --> 00:25:05,879
- Hi.
- Hey.
356
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,148
Thanks.
357
00:25:08,149 --> 00:25:09,783
Want some of this? A beer?
358
00:25:09,784 --> 00:25:11,885
Oh, beer's fine. Thanks.
359
00:25:14,489 --> 00:25:16,389
Oh, hey, pooch.
360
00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:20,226
- Her name's Sam.
- Hi, Sam.
361
00:25:20,227 --> 00:25:22,528
You know, I really used to like high-tech,
362
00:25:22,529 --> 00:25:24,630
but I'm tired of it now.
363
00:25:24,631 --> 00:25:27,267
I think I want chintz back again.
364
00:25:27,268 --> 00:25:29,235
Don't be insulted.
365
00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:30,903
I'm not.
366
00:25:30,904 --> 00:25:34,774
I want chintz back again, too.
367
00:25:34,775 --> 00:25:37,944
So, here we are.
368
00:25:37,945 --> 00:25:39,445
Two fellows who want chintz back again.
369
00:25:39,446 --> 00:25:41,581
I guess this really is a date.
370
00:25:44,751 --> 00:25:47,653
I'm starving.
371
00:25:47,654 --> 00:25:49,489
- You glad I'm here?
- Oh...
372
00:25:49,490 --> 00:25:51,123
I'm pleased as punch you're here.
373
00:25:51,124 --> 00:25:53,459
You're very good-looking.
What are you doing here?
374
00:25:53,460 --> 00:25:54,893
You think you're bad-looking or something?
375
00:25:54,894 --> 00:25:57,196
Where you from?
376
00:25:57,197 --> 00:25:59,831
I'm from Oklahoma.
377
00:25:59,832 --> 00:26:02,801
I left home at 18, put myself through...
378
00:26:02,802 --> 00:26:05,237
what, you wanna dance?
379
00:26:05,238 --> 00:26:08,306
Put myself through college.
380
00:26:08,307 --> 00:26:11,409
My dad worked at the refinery in West Tulsa
381
00:26:11,410 --> 00:26:13,411
and my mom was a waitress.
382
00:26:13,412 --> 00:26:15,213
Had a luncheonette in Walgreens.
383
00:26:17,984 --> 00:26:20,752
It's amazing, isn't it? How
a kid comes out of all that
384
00:26:20,753 --> 00:26:22,521
and wind up on the "Times,"
385
00:26:22,522 --> 00:26:24,955
dictating taste and
style to the entire world.
386
00:26:24,956 --> 00:26:27,791
And we were just starting
to talk so nicely.
387
00:26:27,792 --> 00:26:29,193
Talking's not my problem.
388
00:26:29,194 --> 00:26:31,262
Shutting up's my problem.
389
00:26:31,263 --> 00:26:33,398
Why do you write all that
fancy ball gown bullshit?
390
00:26:33,399 --> 00:26:36,200
I bet you gobble it up every day.
391
00:26:37,836 --> 00:26:40,604
I know 10 people who have died.
392
00:26:40,605 --> 00:26:43,273
When I came to you, it was only one.
393
00:26:43,274 --> 00:26:46,577
I'm sorry.
394
00:26:46,578 --> 00:26:48,679
Is that why you agreed to this date?
395
00:26:55,954 --> 00:26:58,855
Fork on the left.
396
00:26:58,856 --> 00:27:00,524
Knife on the right.
397
00:27:03,428 --> 00:27:04,861
Did you know that Hitler's Final Solution
398
00:27:04,862 --> 00:27:06,963
to eliminate the Polish Jews
399
00:27:06,964 --> 00:27:09,299
was first mentioned in the
"Times"? It was on page 28.
400
00:27:09,300 --> 00:27:11,301
On page 6 of the "Washington Post."
401
00:27:11,302 --> 00:27:14,037
They are both owned by
Jews. Their very own people.
402
00:27:14,038 --> 00:27:17,073
Scholars are finally writing honestly
about it and it's damning to everyone.
403
00:27:17,074 --> 00:27:20,810
Where is the Christian churches?
The Pope? Churchill? Roosevelt?
404
00:27:20,811 --> 00:27:22,812
A few words from any of them
would have put Hitler on notice.
405
00:27:22,813 --> 00:27:26,515
Dachau was open in 1933.
Where the fuck was everybody?
406
00:27:27,952 --> 00:27:31,887
This is turning out to be
a very romantic evening.
407
00:27:31,888 --> 00:27:33,389
You've never had a lover, have you?
408
00:27:33,390 --> 00:27:35,657
I suppose you've had quite a few.
409
00:27:35,658 --> 00:27:37,259
I had a very good one.
410
00:27:37,260 --> 00:27:40,896
For a number of years, thank you.
411
00:27:40,897 --> 00:27:44,933
He was older than I was and
he found someone younger.
412
00:27:44,934 --> 00:27:49,004
- You looking for a father?
- No, I'm not looking for a father. God.
413
00:27:49,005 --> 00:27:50,839
You're relentless.
414
00:27:59,548 --> 00:28:01,316
Okay.
415
00:28:01,317 --> 00:28:02,985
That's yours.
416
00:28:02,986 --> 00:28:05,520
Everybody had a million reasons
for not getting involved.
417
00:28:05,521 --> 00:28:08,490
The American Jews knew
exactly what was going on.
418
00:28:08,491 --> 00:28:11,926
Could you imagine if every Jew had
marched on Washington proudly, huh?
419
00:28:11,927 --> 00:28:13,228
Ned.
420
00:28:15,197 --> 00:28:18,266
You don't remember me, do you?
421
00:28:18,267 --> 00:28:20,668
It was at the baths a few years ago.
422
00:28:22,938 --> 00:28:25,640
Come to Man's
Country, see what we're all about
423
00:28:25,641 --> 00:28:27,675
and what we have to offer.
424
00:28:27,676 --> 00:28:30,711
Man's Country is a full
facility, multileveled complex
425
00:28:30,712 --> 00:28:33,948
that was designed to feature
something for everyone.
426
00:28:33,949 --> 00:28:36,483
Come to Man's Country
to develop your body...
427
00:28:36,484 --> 00:28:39,119
or a friendship with somebody else's.
428
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,122
Visit us once and you'll
come again and again.
429
00:28:57,772 --> 00:28:59,539
You would've thought I
was applying for the CIA
430
00:28:59,540 --> 00:29:02,142
the way you looked at me.
431
00:29:03,144 --> 00:29:05,145
And then what happened?
432
00:29:11,318 --> 00:29:13,319
I followed you into your room.
433
00:29:24,164 --> 00:29:28,000
You couldn't even open your eyes.
434
00:29:28,001 --> 00:29:31,035
You told me your real name was Alexander.
435
00:29:36,442 --> 00:29:38,210
I asked what you did and
you said something like
436
00:29:38,211 --> 00:29:41,580
you "tried a number of things" and...
437
00:29:41,581 --> 00:29:43,682
I asked if that had included love.
438
00:29:46,018 --> 00:29:49,687
That's when you said, "I have
to get up early in the morning."
439
00:29:49,688 --> 00:29:50,955
Yeah.
440
00:29:54,292 --> 00:29:57,261
Men do not naturally not love.
441
00:29:59,832 --> 00:30:01,933
They learn not to.
442
00:30:04,802 --> 00:30:07,271
I think you're a bluffer.
443
00:30:09,374 --> 00:30:11,007
How could I not remember you?
444
00:30:11,008 --> 00:30:12,909
I don't know.
445
00:30:12,910 --> 00:30:14,811
It was very dark.
446
00:30:18,049 --> 00:30:20,483
Do you think we could start over?
447
00:30:22,220 --> 00:30:24,121
Yeah.
448
00:31:18,073 --> 00:31:20,842
When I was going to Yale, I thought
I was the only gay guy there.
449
00:31:20,843 --> 00:31:23,111
Swear to God.
450
00:31:23,112 --> 00:31:26,414
Went to the shrink who tried to change me.
451
00:31:26,415 --> 00:31:28,449
Now they have "Gay Weeks" there
452
00:31:28,450 --> 00:31:30,551
and they throw the best dances of anyone.
453
00:31:32,221 --> 00:31:34,522
Imagine being able to dance cheek to cheek
454
00:31:34,523 --> 00:31:37,959
with your boyfriend during
your bright college days.
455
00:31:43,332 --> 00:31:45,766
Did you ever sleep with a woman?
456
00:31:50,605 --> 00:31:52,039
What?
457
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,343
Her name was... Delilah.
458
00:31:55,344 --> 00:31:57,712
Delilah?
459
00:31:57,713 --> 00:31:59,346
She was...
460
00:31:59,347 --> 00:32:02,249
a stand-in on this movie I wrote.
461
00:32:02,250 --> 00:32:05,986
She was very nice and pretty.
462
00:32:05,987 --> 00:32:09,022
Always smiling at me.
463
00:32:09,023 --> 00:32:12,792
So I... I asked a straight
friend to explain it to me.
464
00:32:12,793 --> 00:32:16,730
I thought I knew, but I
just wanted to make sure.
465
00:32:16,731 --> 00:32:19,499
And I had her to dinner and...
466
00:32:19,500 --> 00:32:22,702
afterwards, what I deemed
to be a suitable moment
467
00:32:22,703 --> 00:32:25,004
because I had been communicating
with it down there...
468
00:32:25,005 --> 00:32:28,040
"Are you ready? Are you
absolutely certain you're ready?"
469
00:32:28,041 --> 00:32:31,710
And when it appeared
"Abercrombie" was ready.
470
00:32:31,711 --> 00:32:34,180
I picked her up, very Rhett Butler,
471
00:32:34,181 --> 00:32:36,015
and carried her to my bed.
472
00:32:36,016 --> 00:32:38,918
- Where I couldn't get it up.
- Oh!
473
00:32:38,919 --> 00:32:40,953
- But...
- I can certainly relate to that.
474
00:32:40,954 --> 00:32:42,621
In the middle of the
night, I woke up with this
475
00:32:42,622 --> 00:32:46,825
gigantic erection, God... God knows how.
476
00:32:46,826 --> 00:32:50,796
So I shake her, shouting, "Please
stick it in for me, Delilah."
477
00:32:50,797 --> 00:32:54,032
I was afraid of it going
away before I could...
478
00:32:54,033 --> 00:32:58,470
while I was hunting for
the right place to put it.
479
00:32:58,471 --> 00:33:02,073
She did and I did, and Abercrombie did.
480
00:33:02,074 --> 00:33:05,576
Ugh...
481
00:33:07,013 --> 00:33:10,115
The next morning I woke up
482
00:33:10,116 --> 00:33:13,618
and I, who had been under
the spell of this shrink
483
00:33:13,619 --> 00:33:15,820
who was determined to change me,
484
00:33:15,821 --> 00:33:17,688
rushed into his office.
485
00:33:17,689 --> 00:33:20,091
And I, who had been fucking with fellows
486
00:33:20,092 --> 00:33:21,826
since the 7th grade,
487
00:33:21,827 --> 00:33:25,129
hysterically, at the age of 32 proclaimed,
488
00:33:25,130 --> 00:33:27,465
"Dr. Gillespie, I'm no longer a virgin!"
489
00:33:27,466 --> 00:33:30,835
Oh, aw.
490
00:33:41,046 --> 00:33:45,316
He's in here. I
think we'll catch him.
491
00:33:45,317 --> 00:33:46,483
All right.
492
00:33:46,484 --> 00:33:48,419
So, I just go over and say hello?
493
00:33:48,420 --> 00:33:51,288
I told him I invited you
and we went to Yale together.
494
00:33:51,289 --> 00:33:54,624
It's my farewell party. What's he gonna do?
495
00:33:54,625 --> 00:33:56,392
Let's go.
496
00:33:56,393 --> 00:33:57,694
Ahem.
497
00:33:57,695 --> 00:33:59,996
His Honor would like you to get lost.
498
00:33:59,997 --> 00:34:02,866
- This is my friend, Ned Weeks.
- Yeah, we know who he is.
499
00:34:04,134 --> 00:34:06,102
Mr. Mayor! We need your help!
500
00:34:06,103 --> 00:34:08,572
There's this new disease.
You must have heard about it.
501
00:34:08,573 --> 00:34:11,374
We need your help badly!
Get off me, you pigs!
502
00:34:11,375 --> 00:34:12,875
This is America!
503
00:34:12,876 --> 00:34:15,144
Mr. Mayor! We're dying!
504
00:34:17,914 --> 00:34:22,452
Okay, this is what Ned
wrote for us to send out.
505
00:34:22,453 --> 00:34:25,588
"I am sick of guys moaning
that giving up careless sex..."
506
00:34:25,589 --> 00:34:27,422
"...until this blows
over is worse than death.
507
00:34:27,423 --> 00:34:30,225
I am sick of guys that can
only think with their cocks.
508
00:34:30,226 --> 00:34:33,929
I am sick of closeted
gays. It's 1982 now, guys,
509
00:34:33,930 --> 00:34:37,399
when are you gonna come out?
By 1983 you could be dead."
510
00:34:39,836 --> 00:34:41,036
You're crazy.
511
00:34:41,037 --> 00:34:42,771
Am I, Bruce? Do you really think so?
512
00:34:42,772 --> 00:34:45,407
Aren't we supposed to
elect a president tonight?
513
00:34:45,408 --> 00:34:47,775
We can't tell people how
to live their lives, Ned.
514
00:34:47,776 --> 00:34:50,512
The entire gay political
movement is fucking.
515
00:34:50,513 --> 00:34:52,680
- Hi.
- Hi.
516
00:34:52,681 --> 00:34:54,916
You know, I'm very interested in starting
up some sort of services for the patients.
517
00:34:54,917 --> 00:34:56,718
We've gotta start talking about them.
518
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,421
Also, there are a lot of
very scared people out there
519
00:34:59,422 --> 00:35:00,855
and they're desperate for information.
520
00:35:00,856 --> 00:35:03,090
I'd like to start a hotline.
521
00:35:03,091 --> 00:35:04,258
Who's he?
522
00:35:04,259 --> 00:35:06,227
Ooh, he does not know who I am yet.
523
00:35:06,228 --> 00:35:08,696
His name is Tommy Boatwright.
524
00:35:08,697 --> 00:35:11,432
In real life, he is a
hospital administrator.
525
00:35:11,433 --> 00:35:14,101
Uh... he's here to help
and he's a Southern bitch.
526
00:35:14,102 --> 00:35:16,237
Mr. Boatwright, Bruce Niles.
527
00:35:16,238 --> 00:35:17,771
- Nice to meet you.
- My pleasure.
528
00:35:17,772 --> 00:35:18,939
You're very handsome.
529
00:35:18,940 --> 00:35:20,607
He knows.
530
00:35:22,744 --> 00:35:24,645
The fuck is this?
531
00:35:24,646 --> 00:35:26,847
Was this your idea, Ned?
532
00:35:26,848 --> 00:35:28,482
I'm looking. What am I not seeing?
533
00:35:28,483 --> 00:35:31,318
- Keep looking.
- What we put for our return address.
534
00:35:31,319 --> 00:35:33,720
Do you mean because the word
"gay" is on the envelope?
535
00:35:33,721 --> 00:35:36,657
Fucking A, yes. Instead
of just our initials.
536
00:35:36,658 --> 00:35:38,759
- We can't send these out.
- Excuse me.
537
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,561
If we want anybody to
show up for this dance,
538
00:35:40,562 --> 00:35:42,195
we have to get these out tonight.
539
00:35:42,196 --> 00:35:44,264
We need to go through and scratch out
the word "gay" with a Magic Marker.
540
00:35:44,265 --> 00:35:45,999
Oh, honey, 10,000 times?
541
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,935
Bruce, I have sympathy
for kids living at home
542
00:35:47,936 --> 00:35:49,669
on Long Island with their parents, but...
543
00:35:49,670 --> 00:35:52,905
but the guys who are
getting these... look at you.
544
00:35:52,906 --> 00:35:55,141
You live at home... you live
alone, you own your own apartment,
545
00:35:55,142 --> 00:35:56,742
your mother lives in another state.
546
00:35:56,743 --> 00:35:59,045
Okay, what about my mailman?
547
00:35:59,046 --> 00:36:00,813
You don't expect me to take you seriously.
548
00:36:00,814 --> 00:36:03,249
- Yes, I do, Ned.
- Okay, ladies, behave.
549
00:36:03,250 --> 00:36:06,819
Look, it's getting late and we
still haven't elected a president.
550
00:36:06,820 --> 00:36:07,987
Neddy...
551
00:36:07,988 --> 00:36:10,723
I think that it should be Bruce.
552
00:36:10,724 --> 00:36:13,966
Everybody knows him everybody
likes him and everybodt...
553
00:36:13,967 --> 00:36:15,854
'Cause he's popular and
everybody's afraid of me?
554
00:36:15,855 --> 00:36:16,896
Yes!
555
00:36:16,897 --> 00:36:18,998
I mean, look at him. He's... he's gorgeous
556
00:36:18,999 --> 00:36:20,933
and all the kids in Christopher
Street and Fire Island,
557
00:36:20,934 --> 00:36:23,569
they'll just... they'll feel a little
bit more comfortable following him.
558
00:36:23,570 --> 00:36:25,737
- Just like high school.
- Yes!
559
00:36:25,738 --> 00:36:27,672
All right, all
those in favor of Bruce Niles
560
00:36:27,673 --> 00:36:29,941
as our first president, raise their hands.
561
00:36:32,112 --> 00:36:33,745
I don't think I want this.
562
00:36:33,746 --> 00:36:37,716
Oh, come on. You're gorgeous
and we're all gonna follow you.
563
00:36:37,717 --> 00:36:41,987
- Fuck you, I accept.
- Well, fuck you, congratulations.
564
00:37:09,214 --> 00:37:12,816
Felix... let's move somewhere far away,
565
00:37:12,817 --> 00:37:14,918
just the two of us,
together on a desert island.
566
00:37:14,919 --> 00:37:17,543
Don't you dare sto for
one sid what you're doing.
567
00:37:19,991 --> 00:37:21,358
I appreciate you not yelling at me
568
00:37:21,359 --> 00:37:23,226
about what the "Times" isn't doing
569
00:37:23,227 --> 00:37:26,918
- and my not being more political.
- Why don't you?
570
00:37:26,919 --> 00:37:29,399
It's a relief not having
to have to talk politics
571
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,434
with someone, but that's not the reason.
572
00:37:31,435 --> 00:37:34,371
No?
573
00:37:34,372 --> 00:37:37,207
It's because you're too good to be true,
574
00:37:37,208 --> 00:37:39,676
because I've been waiting for
a lover like you my whole life,
575
00:37:39,677 --> 00:37:41,311
you haven't showed up until now,
576
00:37:41,312 --> 00:37:44,514
and I'm scared shitless that I'm
gonna do something to fuck it up.
577
00:37:44,515 --> 00:37:48,350
- Am I crazy?
- Of course.
578
00:37:48,351 --> 00:37:50,519
That's why I'm here.
579
00:37:56,193 --> 00:37:58,027
Now we gettin' warm.
580
00:38:01,298 --> 00:38:03,465
Forget-me-nots
581
00:38:55,350 --> 00:38:58,418
Did I look okay?
582
00:38:58,419 --> 00:39:00,921
Could you tell I was
wearing all this makeup?
583
00:39:00,922 --> 00:39:03,157
You looked great.
584
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,461
- You have got to go see Emma.
585
00:39:07,462 --> 00:39:10,096
Can we just forget about this?
586
00:39:10,097 --> 00:39:12,031
I'm all right.
587
00:39:12,032 --> 00:39:14,334
And if I'm not, I don't wanna
know because no one will hire me,
588
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,510
and haven't lostork any weight.
589
00:39:23,511 --> 00:39:25,812
I can still cover it up.
590
00:39:30,250 --> 00:39:32,951
- I told you not to tell him.
- Sorry.
591
00:39:37,957 --> 00:39:39,992
Already afraid to kiss me?
592
00:39:39,993 --> 00:39:43,829
That's not true.
593
00:39:43,830 --> 00:39:46,531
It's okay. I'm afraid to let you.
594
00:40:00,913 --> 00:40:02,781
I love you.
595
00:40:08,854 --> 00:40:11,889
I'll walk him down.
596
00:40:18,096 --> 00:40:21,465
Okay, he's the third guy I've been with.
597
00:40:21,466 --> 00:40:24,935
Reinhardt, Craig, and I
don't know what I'll do
598
00:40:24,936 --> 00:40:26,437
if Albert has this.
599
00:40:26,438 --> 00:40:28,939
You're gonna fight.
600
00:40:28,940 --> 00:40:32,409
We'll fight together.
601
00:40:32,410 --> 00:40:34,945
You're my best friend, Ned Weeks.
602
00:40:34,946 --> 00:40:38,949
You're my best friend and I've
never met anyone like you before.
603
00:40:38,950 --> 00:40:40,250
What do you mean, like me?
604
00:40:40,251 --> 00:40:42,085
Like you, meaning...
605
00:40:44,421 --> 00:40:46,056
where I'm from, I... I mean...
606
00:40:46,057 --> 00:40:48,992
I didn't even see a Jew
until I was in the Army,
607
00:40:49,994 --> 00:40:52,495
let alone a man that was
608
00:40:52,496 --> 00:40:54,497
smart,
609
00:40:54,498 --> 00:40:56,599
funny...
610
00:41:01,271 --> 00:41:03,239
decently good-looking.
611
00:41:05,576 --> 00:41:07,009
My friends stopped hanging out with me
612
00:41:07,010 --> 00:41:09,511
because they say I depress them.
613
00:41:11,147 --> 00:41:13,015
So be it.
614
00:41:18,721 --> 00:41:21,690
And you...
615
00:41:21,691 --> 00:41:23,259
you don't look that Jewish.
616
00:41:23,260 --> 00:41:24,593
Well, you don't look gay,
617
00:41:24,594 --> 00:41:27,061
so I guess we can both
pass for white people.
618
00:41:35,772 --> 00:41:38,774
I love Albert.
619
00:41:38,775 --> 00:41:40,442
Bruce, look at me.
620
00:41:40,443 --> 00:41:42,510
I love him.
621
00:41:42,511 --> 00:41:45,380
Albert's gonna make it.
622
00:41:48,117 --> 00:41:50,618
What if he doesn't?
623
00:41:53,956 --> 00:41:56,024
Let's get you home.
624
00:42:10,038 --> 00:42:13,206
- I'm a mess.
- Yeah.
625
00:42:26,854 --> 00:42:29,489
- Classy moment.
- Yeah.
626
00:42:49,977 --> 00:42:52,211
- I'm all right.
- Okay.
627
00:43:04,524 --> 00:43:06,057
When I finally get you where I want you,
628
00:43:06,058 --> 00:43:08,159
I don't want you anymore.
629
00:43:10,530 --> 00:43:13,031
Hey, Bruce, I'm in love too.
630
00:43:18,070 --> 00:43:20,472
Hey.
631
00:43:26,745 --> 00:43:29,647
Holy shit!
632
00:43:29,648 --> 00:43:31,416
Queen control.
633
00:43:31,417 --> 00:43:33,784
Really works when it wants to.
634
00:43:43,161 --> 00:43:45,429
Oh, hey, Felix. This is Dick Lombardo.
635
00:43:45,430 --> 00:43:46,931
- Hi.
- Finally got us someone on our board
636
00:43:46,932 --> 00:43:48,566
who isn't a disco dummy.
637
00:43:48,567 --> 00:43:50,568
Well... maybe tonight.
638
00:43:50,569 --> 00:43:52,537
- I'll see ya.
- Nice to meet ya.
639
00:43:52,538 --> 00:43:54,138
Come on.
640
00:44:38,282 --> 00:44:40,416
We are all so happy you joined us tonight!
641
00:44:42,219 --> 00:44:44,386
We are proving that we are more than just
642
00:44:44,387 --> 00:44:47,489
looks, brains, talent and heart.
643
00:44:47,490 --> 00:44:51,894
Together we raised more than
any gay group ever in this city.
644
00:44:53,930 --> 00:44:56,131
And I wanna call over
645
00:44:56,132 --> 00:44:58,834
Mr. Ned Weeks.
646
00:45:00,269 --> 00:45:02,504
Don't be shy.
647
00:45:09,112 --> 00:45:10,545
We did it!
648
00:45:10,546 --> 00:45:13,748
We will now reveal just
how much we raised together.
649
00:45:13,749 --> 00:45:15,950
In three, two, one...
650
00:45:15,951 --> 00:45:18,820
$53,000!
651
00:45:35,570 --> 00:45:38,439
Gay Men's Health Crisis, come on up.
652
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,541
Felix, honey, come on up, please. Come up.
653
00:45:40,542 --> 00:45:42,909
I love you.
654
00:45:45,780 --> 00:45:47,114
Let's dance!
655
00:47:31,850 --> 00:47:35,452
Imagine if we had this when we were young.
656
00:47:35,453 --> 00:47:37,087
No fear, no shame.
657
00:47:40,959 --> 00:47:46,996
All I was imagining
all those years was you.
658
00:48:09,753 --> 00:48:13,055
Felix Turner, would you
like to move in with me?
659
00:48:13,056 --> 00:48:14,657
Yes.
660
00:48:14,658 --> 00:48:16,092
- Yes?
- Yesterday.
661
00:48:16,093 --> 00:48:18,094
Yes? Yes!
662
00:48:18,095 --> 00:48:23,098
Yes! Yes!
663
00:48:46,622 --> 00:48:48,990
"We are all walking time bombs
664
00:48:48,991 --> 00:48:51,326
waiting for whatever it is to set us off."
665
00:48:58,200 --> 00:48:58,979
C'mon, we're almost there.
666
00:48:58,980 --> 00:49:01,003
"If this article doesn't
scare the shit out of you,
667
00:49:01,470 --> 00:49:04,138
gay men may have no future here on Earth.
668
00:49:04,139 --> 00:49:07,141
Our continued existence depends
on just how angry you can get."
669
00:49:11,746 --> 00:49:13,166
They turned us away from
four emergency rooms.
670
00:49:13,167 --> 00:49:14,037
Come in!
671
00:49:14,038 --> 00:49:15,816
I think he's lost his mind.
672
00:49:15,817 --> 00:49:16,715
D, where can I take him?
673
00:49:16,716 --> 00:49:18,239
Put him on the couch there. I'll call Emma.
674
00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:21,788
- God damn it!
- I'll get some water.
675
00:49:21,789 --> 00:49:23,390
How long has he been like this?
676
00:49:23,391 --> 00:49:25,659
A couple hours.
677
00:49:27,662 --> 00:49:30,929
Well, I'm glad you asked me that question.
678
00:49:30,930 --> 00:49:33,632
What do I think? I know that the government
679
00:49:33,633 --> 00:49:37,236
is intentionally ignoring this epidemic.
680
00:49:37,237 --> 00:49:40,339
You're accusing the
government of the United States
681
00:49:40,340 --> 00:49:43,609
of a conspiracy to murder all gay men?
682
00:49:48,982 --> 00:49:51,350
Yes. Yes, you can say that.
683
00:49:51,351 --> 00:49:53,385
Yes, Sarabeth, I am. Yes.
684
00:49:53,386 --> 00:49:56,088
That is a powerful accusation.
685
00:49:56,089 --> 00:49:58,790
This is an epidemic and it's being ignored
686
00:49:58,791 --> 00:50:00,292
by the United States government.
687
00:50:00,293 --> 00:50:02,294
- Intentionally?
- Intentionally being ignored.
688
00:50:02,295 --> 00:50:04,295
This is a national emergency.
689
00:50:04,296 --> 00:50:06,130
This is an epidemic. It's a plague.
690
00:50:06,131 --> 00:50:09,166
You can't go on national TV and
accuse the government of murder, Ned.
691
00:50:09,167 --> 00:50:11,969
- Why not?
- Because one day we're gonna get money,
692
00:50:11,970 --> 00:50:13,389
research grants.
693
00:50:13,390 --> 00:50:15,306
Congress still hasn't appropriated a dime.
694
00:50:15,307 --> 00:50:16,941
The mayor's still... on and on!
695
00:50:16,942 --> 00:50:20,211
Ned, when you go public, you have no
right to speak for this organization
696
00:50:20,212 --> 00:50:24,382
unless we have approved what
you have to say in advance.
697
00:50:24,383 --> 00:50:26,984
You know, in point of fact, you aren't
even an officer of this organization
698
00:50:26,985 --> 00:50:29,186
and you shouldn't be
speaking for us at all.
699
00:50:29,187 --> 00:50:32,589
Well, thank you for
sharing that with me, Dick.
700
00:50:45,837 --> 00:50:47,571
Why do you think the city has been so slow
701
00:50:47,572 --> 00:50:50,507
to acknowledge and deal
with this emergency?
702
00:50:50,508 --> 00:50:52,643
Well, you're implying that
the city has recognized
703
00:50:52,644 --> 00:50:55,145
and acknowledged this
emergency, Malcolm. It has not.
704
00:50:55,146 --> 00:50:57,047
Why not, do you think?
705
00:50:57,048 --> 00:50:59,282
Because the mayor's gay
and he's scared shitless
706
00:50:59,283 --> 00:51:00,984
out of his panties it'll blow his cover.
707
00:51:00,985 --> 00:51:02,552
What?
708
00:51:02,553 --> 00:51:04,154
- Take it off, get it off.
- Are we still rolling?
709
00:51:05,889 --> 00:51:07,523
You can't tell me what to say
when I'm speaking for myself.
710
00:51:07,524 --> 00:51:09,359
Bullshit. They all know you're one of us.
711
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:10,960
It is totally and politically incorrect
712
00:51:10,961 --> 00:51:13,429
to call someone gay who does
not self-identify as being gay.
713
00:51:13,430 --> 00:51:15,064
I know it's been that way forever,
714
00:51:15,065 --> 00:51:17,433
but something different is
going on here now. We're dying.
715
00:51:17,434 --> 00:51:19,234
The mayor, he's a personal friend of yours.
716
00:51:19,235 --> 00:51:21,070
You want him to appoint you a judge.
717
00:51:21,071 --> 00:51:23,272
Do you have a little conflict
of interest going on here?
718
00:51:23,273 --> 00:51:24,907
- I told you I sent him a memo.
- When?
719
00:51:24,908 --> 00:51:26,408
- Through channels.
- When?
720
00:51:26,409 --> 00:51:28,277
- He'll answer me.
- When?!
721
00:51:28,278 --> 00:51:30,612
There's 110 new cases this month!
722
00:51:30,613 --> 00:51:33,182
Still no meeting with our gay mayor.
723
00:51:33,183 --> 00:51:35,284
No meeting with his gay assistant.
724
00:51:38,855 --> 00:51:41,123
What? Do I embarrass you, Bruce?
725
00:51:41,124 --> 00:51:43,458
Yes. You do.
726
00:51:43,459 --> 00:51:44,726
You get more with honey
than with vinegar, babe.
727
00:51:44,727 --> 00:51:46,127
God, no one's told me that one, Tommy.
728
00:51:46,128 --> 00:51:48,229
No, obviously, they haven't.
729
00:51:48,230 --> 00:51:49,965
I never believed that bullshit, anyway.
730
00:51:49,966 --> 00:51:51,967
We are in over our heads with
the patients we're trying to help.
731
00:51:51,968 --> 00:51:55,103
Tommy, will you please read
this report out loud for Ned?
732
00:51:55,104 --> 00:51:59,073
We have trained 25 crisis counselors
733
00:51:59,074 --> 00:52:01,909
to help the newly diagnosed in
whatever needs that they might have.
734
00:52:01,910 --> 00:52:05,546
We have 12 group leaders who
meet with these counselors
735
00:52:05,547 --> 00:52:07,648
at least once a week to
go over their clients.
736
00:52:07,649 --> 00:52:09,450
There are now 17 volunteer social workers,
737
00:52:09,451 --> 00:52:12,020
psychologists and/or psychiatrists.
738
00:52:12,021 --> 00:52:13,654
We helped draw up 75 wills last...
739
00:52:13,655 --> 00:52:16,423
75, Bruce!
740
00:52:16,424 --> 00:52:18,125
You used to be a fighter once.
741
00:52:18,126 --> 00:52:21,061
- Did you like being in the Green Berets?
- Yes. I loved it.
742
00:52:21,062 --> 00:52:23,096
Have you completely forgotten how to fight?
743
00:52:23,097 --> 00:52:25,699
Don't tell me how to fight. I
just fight differently than you.
744
00:52:25,700 --> 00:52:27,668
- I haven't seen your way yet.
- No?
745
00:52:27,669 --> 00:52:30,404
Bruce... Albert may be dying.
746
00:52:30,405 --> 00:52:33,306
You son of a bitch! You
say another word about him!
747
00:52:33,307 --> 00:52:36,043
Relax.
748
00:52:36,044 --> 00:52:37,944
And you.
749
00:52:37,945 --> 00:52:40,514
You have no right being on this board
750
00:52:40,515 --> 00:52:42,582
unless you put pressure
on your friend the mayor.
751
00:52:42,583 --> 00:52:45,618
That's why I asked you to join us
in the first place and you know it.
752
00:52:57,598 --> 00:52:59,699
- No, no, I'm not gonna do that.
- Why not?
753
00:52:59,700 --> 00:53:01,434
No, you got your free
legal work from my firm.
754
00:53:01,435 --> 00:53:03,202
I'm not gonna be on
your board of directors.
755
00:53:03,203 --> 00:53:05,571
It's only for the stationery.
You don't have to do a thing.
756
00:53:05,572 --> 00:53:08,641
That is just an evasion. If you
thought this was a straight disease...
757
00:53:08,642 --> 00:53:09,919
It's got nothing to do with you being gay.
758
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,379
What else does it have to do with?
759
00:53:12,011 --> 00:53:13,379
One of these days, I'm
gonna get you to agree
760
00:53:13,380 --> 00:53:15,581
that over 20 million men
and women in this country
761
00:53:15,582 --> 00:53:18,384
don't require the
services of a psychiatrist.
762
00:53:18,385 --> 00:53:19,685
Look, try to understand.
763
00:53:19,686 --> 00:53:21,887
You know, I read stuff, I see TV.
764
00:53:21,888 --> 00:53:23,889
Guys in leather and chains.
765
00:53:23,890 --> 00:53:25,657
Dresses, high heels.
766
00:53:25,658 --> 00:53:27,492
I say to myself, "This isn't Ned."
767
00:53:27,493 --> 00:53:30,295
You know the media always
dramatizes the most extreme.
768
00:53:30,296 --> 00:53:32,497
You guys have a dreadful image problem.
769
00:53:32,498 --> 00:53:33,999
That's why it's so important
770
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:35,433
to have people like you supporting us.
771
00:53:35,434 --> 00:53:37,135
You already have your dignity.
772
00:53:37,136 --> 00:53:39,737
We better get to lunch.
I've got an important meeting.
773
00:53:39,738 --> 00:53:41,939
Do you? How important?
774
00:53:41,940 --> 00:53:43,575
I'm asking for your support.
775
00:53:43,576 --> 00:53:46,177
In every area I consider
important, you have my support.
776
00:53:46,178 --> 00:53:49,147
The only area that I consider important
777
00:53:49,148 --> 00:53:52,083
I don't have your support at all.
778
00:53:52,084 --> 00:53:54,152
In some place deep down inside you,
779
00:53:54,153 --> 00:53:55,419
you still think I'm sick, don't you?
780
00:53:55,420 --> 00:53:57,187
I think you've adjusted
to life pretty well.
781
00:53:57,188 --> 00:54:00,591
- All things considered.
- I saw how unhappy you were.
782
00:54:00,592 --> 00:54:02,192
So were you!
783
00:54:02,193 --> 00:54:05,930
You wound up going to shrinks,
too. We grew up side by side.
784
00:54:05,931 --> 00:54:08,699
We both felt the same about Mom and Pop.
785
00:54:08,700 --> 00:54:13,069
I'll agree to the fact that I have
any number of awful character traits,
786
00:54:13,070 --> 00:54:16,906
but not to the fact that whatever
awful things they did to us
787
00:54:16,907 --> 00:54:20,744
made me sick and gay while you
stayed straight and healthy.
788
00:54:20,745 --> 00:54:22,846
We don't all react the
same way to the thing.
789
00:54:22,847 --> 00:54:25,215
So you became a lawyer
and I became a writer.
790
00:54:25,216 --> 00:54:27,417
Well, we have a difference
of opinion over theory.
791
00:54:27,418 --> 00:54:30,120
But your theory turns
me into a man from Mars.
792
00:54:30,121 --> 00:54:32,588
My theory doesn't do that to you.
793
00:54:32,589 --> 00:54:34,924
Are you suggesting I did something wrong
794
00:54:34,925 --> 00:54:37,226
in sending you into therapy so young?
795
00:54:37,227 --> 00:54:38,762
I didn't know you were
gonna stay there forever.
796
00:54:38,763 --> 00:54:40,463
I didn't think that I'd
had done anything wrong
797
00:54:40,464 --> 00:54:42,431
until you sent me there.
798
00:54:42,432 --> 00:54:46,269
Ben... you mean more to me
than anyone in the whole world.
799
00:54:46,270 --> 00:54:49,772
- You always have. Ben, you gotta say it.
- Say what?
800
00:54:49,773 --> 00:54:52,741
I'm the same as you. Just say it. Say it!
801
00:55:00,083 --> 00:55:03,618
No.
802
00:55:03,619 --> 00:55:06,755
You're not.
803
00:55:06,756 --> 00:55:08,857
I'm not gonna say it.
804
00:55:10,860 --> 00:55:13,896
Every time I lose this
fight, it hurts more.
805
00:55:13,897 --> 00:55:16,298
- I'm going home.
- Oh, come on, Lemon.
806
00:55:16,299 --> 00:55:17,932
I still love you.
807
00:55:17,933 --> 00:55:19,434
Sarah still loves you.
808
00:55:19,435 --> 00:55:21,603
- The cat still loves you.
- This is not a joke.
809
00:55:21,604 --> 00:55:25,840
You have my love, my legal
advice, my financial supervision.
810
00:55:25,841 --> 00:55:28,076
I can't give you the
courage to stand up to me
811
00:55:28,077 --> 00:55:30,912
and say you don't give a
flying fuck about what I think.
812
00:55:30,913 --> 00:55:32,681
Everybody's oppressed by somebody else
813
00:55:32,682 --> 00:55:35,382
in some form or another.
814
00:55:35,383 --> 00:55:38,586
Most of us learn to fight against
it despite people's opinions
815
00:55:38,587 --> 00:55:40,554
without the help of others.
816
00:55:40,555 --> 00:55:44,325
And stop trying to wring some kind
of admission of guilt out of me.
817
00:55:44,326 --> 00:55:47,028
Agreeing that you were born
just the same as I was born
818
00:55:47,029 --> 00:55:48,696
isn't gonna save your dying friends.
819
00:55:48,697 --> 00:55:52,333
That is exactly what is going
to save my dying friends.
820
00:55:52,334 --> 00:55:55,269
- You make it sound like I'm the enemy.
- I am beginning to think
821
00:55:55,270 --> 00:55:57,671
that you and your straight
world are our enemy.
822
00:55:57,672 --> 00:55:59,940
I am furious with you!
823
00:55:59,941 --> 00:56:02,509
And every goddamn doctor who made me feel
824
00:56:02,510 --> 00:56:04,278
it was sick to love a man.
825
00:56:04,279 --> 00:56:06,380
I am trying to understand
826
00:56:06,381 --> 00:56:09,750
why nobody gives a shit that we're dying!
827
00:56:11,518 --> 00:56:15,856
$5 million for a house? We can't
even get 27 cents from the city.
828
00:56:15,857 --> 00:56:20,393
I know 43 guys who have died and
you say it's my cause not yours?
829
00:56:20,394 --> 00:56:23,130
You still think I'm sick!
830
00:56:23,131 --> 00:56:27,300
I simply cannot allow it
for one single second longer.
831
00:56:27,301 --> 00:56:32,572
I will not speak to you again
until you accept me as your equal!
832
00:56:32,573 --> 00:56:34,374
Your healthy equal!
833
00:56:34,375 --> 00:56:36,476
Your brother!
834
00:56:43,984 --> 00:56:45,818
Yeah, be careful with that, boys.
835
00:56:45,819 --> 00:56:48,353
- That is a precious antique.
- Easy.
836
00:56:48,354 --> 00:56:50,355
I'm thinking we should put
that in the grand salon.
837
00:56:50,356 --> 00:56:52,191
Do we have a basement?
That's where it should go.
838
00:56:52,192 --> 00:56:54,827
Bella, I think it's time we moved
your filthy mouth above ground.
839
00:56:54,828 --> 00:56:56,928
I'll decorate tomorrow.
840
00:56:56,929 --> 00:56:58,697
Just shove it all in
there the best you can.
841
00:56:58,698 --> 00:57:00,399
Oh.
842
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,101
Okay, knock it off, both of you.
843
00:57:03,102 --> 00:57:05,170
Excuse me.
844
00:57:05,171 --> 00:57:08,507
- Yes, hi.
- Hi.
845
00:57:08,508 --> 00:57:10,742
My name is Estelle
846
00:57:10,743 --> 00:57:14,112
and my best friend Harvey died last night.
847
00:57:17,016 --> 00:57:20,718
We went everywhere together, you know?
848
00:57:20,719 --> 00:57:23,587
Like Broadway and the Rockettes
849
00:57:23,588 --> 00:57:25,123
and ice skating.
850
00:57:27,126 --> 00:57:30,127
He was a beautiful skater.
851
00:57:30,128 --> 00:57:31,962
I'm a klutz.
852
00:57:31,963 --> 00:57:35,633
But he didn't care.
853
00:57:35,634 --> 00:57:38,703
We had so much fun.
854
00:57:38,704 --> 00:57:41,372
Damn it, I wanna do something!
855
00:57:41,373 --> 00:57:42,973
Even though all my lesbian friends say,
856
00:57:42,974 --> 00:57:44,775
"What have you guys ever done for us?"
857
00:57:44,776 --> 00:57:49,446
But I don't care.
858
00:57:49,447 --> 00:57:51,581
This is for Harvey.
859
00:57:51,582 --> 00:57:55,585
Please... tell me you
can use me for something.
860
00:57:59,057 --> 00:58:01,058
Oh.
861
00:58:03,761 --> 00:58:07,063
I need a hotline director.
You think you can do that?
862
00:58:07,064 --> 00:58:09,733
- I don't know how.
- I don't either.
863
00:58:13,036 --> 00:58:15,238
Hey.
864
00:58:15,239 --> 00:58:17,440
Let me buy you a cup of coffee
865
00:58:17,441 --> 00:58:20,676
- and we'll figure this out, okay?
- Okay.
866
00:58:31,288 --> 00:58:34,357
- So, you want to set up here?
- Yeah, this is good. Let's do it.
867
00:58:34,358 --> 00:58:37,259
- What are you doing?
- We're from the NBC affiliate.
868
00:58:37,260 --> 00:58:39,928
- So?
- This is the new Gay Men's Health Crisis office...?
869
00:58:39,929 --> 00:58:42,664
- Who are you?
- I'm Bruce Niles. I'm the president.
870
00:58:42,665 --> 00:58:45,434
I didn't sign any consent form for
you to film me or this establishment.
871
00:58:45,435 --> 00:58:48,537
- Please turn it off and leave.
- Hey, now, don't touch my camera.
872
00:58:48,538 --> 00:58:51,840
- Who sent you here?
- Somebody named Ned.
873
00:58:51,841 --> 00:58:53,909
- Weeks.
- Oh, great. You're here.
874
00:58:53,910 --> 00:58:55,410
Anybody homo?
875
00:58:55,411 --> 00:58:56,711
Son of a bitch.
876
00:58:56,712 --> 00:58:58,380
Hello, is this thing rolling?
877
00:58:58,381 --> 00:59:01,549
Look at this! We're in
both of them the same week.
878
00:59:01,550 --> 00:59:03,418
Every major network
879
00:59:03,419 --> 00:59:06,021
and now finally our very first office.
880
00:59:06,022 --> 00:59:09,189
I wanna introduce you to our gay
president who's in the closet.
881
00:59:09,190 --> 00:59:11,526
And he's so handsome. Don't ya think?
882
00:59:11,527 --> 00:59:15,262
Such a very handsome
cover boy going to waste.
883
00:59:16,432 --> 00:59:20,288
- Oh, great. Now you fight.
- Great! Fight, Bruce.
884
00:59:20,289 --> 00:59:22,470
You made me sound like a
coward and I'm not a coward.
885
00:59:22,471 --> 00:59:24,138
You know what? You have nothing to lose.
886
00:59:24,139 --> 00:59:26,240
Your brother invests for
you so you have income.
887
00:59:26,241 --> 00:59:29,109
You can be gay 24/7, Ned, but I can't!
888
00:59:29,110 --> 00:59:30,777
I can't! So fuck you!
889
00:59:30,778 --> 00:59:31,945
No, fuck you, Bruce!
890
00:59:31,946 --> 00:59:35,681
Oh, oh, oh. Jesus.
891
00:59:36,917 --> 00:59:40,586
When I look at you, I
am filled with despair.
892
00:59:40,587 --> 00:59:43,089
When I look at you, I
worry we're not gonna win.
893
00:59:43,090 --> 00:59:45,091
How do you think this country was founded?
894
00:59:45,092 --> 00:59:47,260
I thought I was getting
started with Paul Revere,
895
00:59:47,261 --> 00:59:49,061
not some coward.
896
00:59:51,965 --> 00:59:54,433
Ned, look at me. Look at me!
897
00:59:54,434 --> 00:59:56,234
Look at me!
898
00:59:56,235 --> 00:59:59,371
We are doomed if we do it your way.
899
00:59:59,372 --> 01:00:00,973
- Doomed!
- How are they going to help us
900
01:00:00,974 --> 01:00:02,240
if they don't know who we are?
901
01:00:02,241 --> 01:00:04,809
They won't help us, Ned, if they do.
902
01:00:11,717 --> 01:00:14,286
Hey, hey, hey! Hey! Come on.
903
01:00:15,621 --> 01:00:19,157
- Holy shit.
- Shit!
904
01:00:34,974 --> 01:00:37,241
Okay, I'll get it, sure.
905
01:00:37,242 --> 01:00:39,610
Hello? Yeah, you are our very first call.
906
01:00:39,611 --> 01:00:42,579
How can I help you?
907
01:00:43,748 --> 01:00:46,083
I'm sorry, you have the wrong number.
908
01:00:51,223 --> 01:00:53,824
You each gotta pull your
shit together now, okay?
909
01:00:55,459 --> 01:00:58,662
And you need to stop being such
a fucking drama queen. God damn.
910
01:01:00,598 --> 01:01:02,966
This is Estelle.
911
01:01:02,967 --> 01:01:06,570
Hey. How's it going?
912
01:01:06,571 --> 01:01:09,139
Welcome.
913
01:01:59,289 --> 01:02:01,756
Well, we have four hands and two incomes.
914
01:02:01,757 --> 01:02:03,191
You're not getting any younger, you know.
915
01:02:03,192 --> 01:02:06,327
All right, let's leave my age out of this.
916
01:02:13,970 --> 01:02:17,905
- Very beautiful, the country.
- Very quiet, the country.
917
01:02:20,375 --> 01:02:21,609
No, no. Don't you dare!
918
01:02:21,610 --> 01:02:23,177
I have to.
919
01:02:24,946 --> 01:02:27,448
You didn't leave this
number on your machine.
920
01:02:28,484 --> 01:02:30,351
- You promised.
- Hello?
921
01:02:30,352 --> 01:02:32,987
I do think we should picket the mayor.
922
01:02:34,388 --> 01:02:37,457
Yes, I said that and I
stand by that. Thank you.
923
01:02:38,459 --> 01:02:39,927
You promised.
924
01:02:39,928 --> 01:02:43,163
No, no, no, no, no. Wait.
925
01:02:48,703 --> 01:02:51,838
Ahem... "And every gay man
who is unable to come forward
926
01:02:51,839 --> 01:02:53,306
and fight to save his own life
927
01:02:53,307 --> 01:02:55,775
is truly helping to kill the rest of us."
928
01:02:55,776 --> 01:02:58,378
How many of us have to die
before you get scared off your ass
929
01:02:58,379 --> 01:03:00,780
and into action? Thank you.
930
01:03:02,950 --> 01:03:05,485
Who was that?
931
01:03:05,486 --> 01:03:08,621
I hear it's being called the
"Ned Weeks School of Outrage."
932
01:03:11,391 --> 01:03:13,693
I did speak to one of
our science reporters.
933
01:03:13,694 --> 01:03:15,061
What did he say?
934
01:03:15,062 --> 01:03:18,264
It turns out he's gay and he won't...
935
01:03:18,265 --> 01:03:20,566
don't yell at me.
936
01:03:22,636 --> 01:03:25,871
All those shrinks, they must
have done something right.
937
01:03:26,939 --> 01:03:28,541
Dr. Ritvo,
938
01:03:28,542 --> 01:03:30,709
- Dr. Malev,
- Malev.
939
01:03:30,710 --> 01:03:33,345
Dr. Gillespie,
940
01:03:33,346 --> 01:03:34,880
Dr. Patty,
941
01:03:34,881 --> 01:03:37,316
Dr. Maxene, Dr. LaVerne.
942
01:03:39,318 --> 01:03:41,053
Why does that have to take so long?
943
01:03:41,054 --> 01:03:43,354
All you ever eat is desserts.
944
01:03:43,355 --> 01:03:44,923
Sugar's the most important thing in life.
945
01:03:44,924 --> 01:03:47,458
All the rest is just to stay alive.
946
01:03:48,460 --> 01:03:50,128
Mm.
947
01:03:54,133 --> 01:03:56,734
Agh!
948
01:03:56,735 --> 01:03:58,269
Shit.
949
01:03:58,270 --> 01:04:00,037
- What?
- The fucking board.
950
01:04:00,038 --> 01:04:03,107
They say I'm causing a panic,
that I'm making myself a celebrity.
951
01:04:03,108 --> 01:04:05,310
Not one of them will be
interviewed or appear on TV,
952
01:04:05,311 --> 01:04:07,745
so I do it all by default.
953
01:04:07,746 --> 01:04:10,081
And you're becoming a leader.
954
01:04:10,082 --> 01:04:12,482
- And you love to fight.
- I like to fight? Moi?
955
01:04:12,483 --> 01:04:14,651
Who, you? Yeah.
956
01:04:14,652 --> 01:04:16,821
And you're havin' at time.
957
01:04:16,822 --> 01:04:18,923
I am.
958
01:04:20,358 --> 01:04:22,827
It's funny, I never wanted to be a leader.
959
01:04:22,828 --> 01:04:25,796
I'm not doing very well.
960
01:04:25,797 --> 01:04:27,131
It's sad how much time we lost.
961
01:04:27,132 --> 01:04:29,600
We just weren't ready then.
962
01:04:36,574 --> 01:04:39,243
If I had it...
963
01:04:39,244 --> 01:04:41,612
would you leave me?
964
01:04:43,724 --> 01:04:45,358
I don't know.
965
01:04:47,961 --> 01:04:50,296
Would you if I did?
966
01:04:50,297 --> 01:04:52,731
No.
967
01:04:52,732 --> 01:04:54,332
How do you know?
968
01:04:54,333 --> 01:04:57,169
Because my mother ran the
local chapter of the Red Cross.
969
01:04:57,170 --> 01:05:00,305
She put me to work in the
Bloodmobile when I was eight.
970
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,176
I'm not programmed for anything else.
971
01:05:06,246 --> 01:05:09,781
Ned, I have something to tell you.
972
01:05:09,782 --> 01:05:12,250
You're finally pregnant.
973
01:05:15,554 --> 01:05:17,989
I was married once.
974
01:05:21,727 --> 01:05:22,794
You never told me that.
975
01:05:22,795 --> 01:05:25,096
Yeah, I...
976
01:05:25,097 --> 01:05:26,898
she said I had been unfair to her,
977
01:05:26,899 --> 01:05:29,733
which I had been.
978
01:05:32,004 --> 01:05:34,972
- I have a son.
- You have a son.
979
01:05:34,973 --> 01:05:38,642
- She won't let me see him.
- You can't see your own son?
980
01:05:38,643 --> 01:05:41,245
But didn't you fight?
981
01:05:41,246 --> 01:05:42,913
That means you're ashamed.
982
01:05:42,914 --> 01:05:45,182
So he will be, too.
983
01:05:45,183 --> 01:05:47,484
This is why I didn't tell
you. Who says I didn't fight?
984
01:05:47,485 --> 01:05:49,386
Ned?
985
01:05:49,387 --> 01:05:52,356
What happens to people who can't
be as strong as you want them to be?
986
01:05:52,357 --> 01:05:54,692
Weakness scares the shit out of me!
987
01:05:54,693 --> 01:05:57,861
My father was weak, and
I'm afraid I'll be like him.
988
01:05:57,862 --> 01:06:00,831
His life didn't stand for
anything and then it was over.
989
01:06:00,832 --> 01:06:02,866
So I fight, constantly.
990
01:06:02,867 --> 01:06:04,567
And if I can do it, I can't understand
991
01:06:04,568 --> 01:06:07,337
why everybody else can't do it, too, okay?
992
01:06:07,338 --> 01:06:08,671
Wait, where are you going?
993
01:06:08,672 --> 01:06:10,807
Felix! Where you going?
994
01:06:14,278 --> 01:06:15,545
(Sighs
995
01:06:15,546 --> 01:06:18,013
Felix. I didn't mean
anything by that, Felix.
996
01:06:18,014 --> 01:06:20,650
I... I... I'm scared of... lots of things.
997
01:06:20,651 --> 01:06:24,420
Really. Heights. I never
told you I'm terrified of...
998
01:06:24,421 --> 01:06:26,622
what?
999
01:06:41,604 --> 01:06:44,539
It keeps getting bigger and bigger.
1000
01:06:44,540 --> 01:06:46,808
It doesn't go away.
1001
01:06:58,954 --> 01:07:00,955
Felix?
1002
01:07:03,626 --> 01:07:06,995
Who, may I ask, is Felix?
1003
01:07:06,996 --> 01:07:10,631
I've never been so in love in my life.
1004
01:07:10,632 --> 01:07:14,302
Never been in love in my life.
1005
01:07:14,303 --> 01:07:17,939
Tell him to come to see me
first thing tomorrow 7:30.
1006
01:07:17,940 --> 01:07:20,358
Ned, God damn it.
1007
01:07:20,359 --> 01:07:22,504
What are we supposed to do?
Not be with anybody ever?
1008
01:07:22,944 --> 01:07:26,013
It's not as easy as you might think.
1009
01:07:26,014 --> 01:07:27,981
Oh, Em, I'm sorry.
1010
01:07:27,982 --> 01:07:29,983
Don't be.
1011
01:07:31,853 --> 01:07:33,654
How'd you get it?
1012
01:07:33,655 --> 01:07:36,624
I was five years old.
1013
01:07:36,625 --> 01:07:38,425
A woman from the Bahamas came to our town
1014
01:07:38,426 --> 01:07:39,592
carrying the polio virus.
1015
01:07:39,593 --> 01:07:43,030
She... stayed with friends.
1016
01:07:43,031 --> 01:07:45,532
Their kid was in my kindergarten class.
1017
01:07:45,533 --> 01:07:48,335
Four of us in that class got polio.
1018
01:07:50,538 --> 01:07:53,440
I was all dressed up
in my Halloween costume
1019
01:07:53,441 --> 01:07:55,274
to go
trick-or-treating
1020
01:07:55,275 --> 01:07:58,144
and my mother felt my
forehead, put me to bed.
1021
01:07:59,413 --> 01:08:02,549
In the middle of the night,
I realized my whole body
1022
01:08:02,550 --> 01:08:05,284
except my arms and my hands were paralyzed.
1023
01:08:05,285 --> 01:08:07,320
I was crying out for my mother.
1024
01:08:07,321 --> 01:08:10,022
"I can't move, I can't move."
1025
01:08:10,023 --> 01:08:13,725
They rushed me to the hospital,
1026
01:08:13,726 --> 01:08:15,794
were told I'd be dead in 24 hours.
1027
01:08:15,795 --> 01:08:17,430
I fought. I lived.
1028
01:08:17,431 --> 01:08:19,765
Were you in an iron lung?
1029
01:08:19,766 --> 01:08:21,834
I was.
1030
01:08:21,835 --> 01:08:24,570
Then I was in bed at home.
1031
01:08:26,006 --> 01:08:29,074
I was connected to my
class with this little...
1032
01:08:30,710 --> 01:08:32,744
- little loudspeaker.
1033
01:08:32,745 --> 01:08:36,381
All the children were required to visit me.
1034
01:08:37,416 --> 01:08:40,819
We would say, "Hello,"
1035
01:08:40,820 --> 01:08:43,088
and then not know what to say next.
1036
01:08:43,089 --> 01:08:45,223
They were all terrified of me.
1037
01:08:45,224 --> 01:08:46,624
Still are.
1038
01:08:46,625 --> 01:08:48,860
I scare the shit out of people.
1039
01:08:48,861 --> 01:08:51,863
The "holy terror" in a wheelchair.
1040
01:08:53,332 --> 01:08:54,599
I'm scaring people, too.
1041
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,402
Learn how to use it.
1042
01:08:57,403 --> 01:09:00,337
Don't need everybody's love and approval.
1043
01:09:01,540 --> 01:09:04,475
Ned, your organization is... worthless.
1044
01:09:04,476 --> 01:09:06,811
I can't get anyone important on the board.
1045
01:09:06,812 --> 01:09:09,346
I've seen over 300
patients. Me. One doctor.
1046
01:09:09,347 --> 01:09:12,049
All these guys who made
millions off of us...
1047
01:09:12,050 --> 01:09:15,720
fashion, rock, movies,
real estate, forget it.
1048
01:09:15,721 --> 01:09:18,322
And any time Bruce doesn't agree with me,
1049
01:09:18,323 --> 01:09:20,590
- he puts it to a board vote.
- And you lose.
1050
01:09:20,591 --> 01:09:22,959
I can't pass along sex recommendations
1051
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,029
or any information that isn't 100% certain.
1052
01:09:25,030 --> 01:09:28,132
Nothing is 100% certain in science.
1053
01:09:28,133 --> 01:09:29,599
It wouldn't matter what you say anyway.
1054
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,435
Don't yell at me for what I'm not doing.
1055
01:09:31,436 --> 01:09:33,537
- What the fuck is your side doing?
- I don't know!
1056
01:09:33,538 --> 01:09:35,238
Where's your A.M.A.?
1057
01:09:37,408 --> 01:09:39,943
Does being Jewish always make you hungry?
1058
01:09:39,944 --> 01:09:42,278
I don't know. I'm not Jewish.
1059
01:09:43,548 --> 01:09:45,882
I'm German.
1060
01:09:45,883 --> 01:09:49,452
- Everybody thinks you're Jewish.
- I know.
1061
01:09:49,453 --> 01:09:51,754
In medicine it helps.
1062
01:09:54,658 --> 01:09:57,993
You stayed in bed the
whole way through school?
1063
01:09:57,994 --> 01:10:00,563
By college I had my first braces
1064
01:10:00,564 --> 01:10:03,699
and I could walk... a little.
1065
01:10:03,700 --> 01:10:05,101
I don't walk so good anymore.
1066
01:10:05,102 --> 01:10:07,302
Probably because I'm too busy to practice.
1067
01:10:08,404 --> 01:10:09,805
You must practice.
1068
01:10:09,806 --> 01:10:12,441
Right now. I mean it.
1069
01:10:12,442 --> 01:10:14,610
Right now. C'mon.
1070
01:10:14,611 --> 01:10:17,145
N't n't scratch my Mathis.
1071
01:10:26,289 --> 01:10:28,190
May I have this dance?
1072
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:34,096
Okay. You asked for it.
1073
01:10:37,500 --> 01:10:40,668
My crutches.
1074
01:11:04,126 --> 01:11:08,996
Mm-mm. I got it.
1075
01:11:10,965 --> 01:11:11,898
- Oh...!
- Okay?
1076
01:11:11,899 --> 01:11:14,001
Okay. Mm-hmm.
1077
01:11:36,157 --> 01:11:38,824
I'm afraid to leave him alone now.
1078
01:11:38,825 --> 01:11:41,927
I'm afraid a cure won't come in time.
1079
01:11:41,928 --> 01:11:46,298
I'm afraid of my anger.
1080
01:11:46,299 --> 01:11:50,469
- I'm a terrible leader and...
- A lousy dancer. Put me back.
1081
01:12:09,121 --> 01:12:11,456
Polio is a virus, too.
1082
01:12:15,127 --> 01:12:20,198
Nobody gets polio anymore.
1083
01:12:45,657 --> 01:12:49,059
Where is he? We've been
here for an hour and a half.
1084
01:12:49,060 --> 01:12:52,996
Who are these people? We're
in a fucking dungeon here.
1085
01:12:52,997 --> 01:12:56,566
He can't do this to us. He cannot
do this to us and get away with it.
1086
01:12:58,737 --> 01:13:00,437
- Did you start?
- No.
1087
01:13:00,438 --> 01:13:01,939
- Okay, God, hi.
- Hi.
1088
01:13:01,940 --> 01:13:03,707
Jesus Christ, what a tomb.
1089
01:13:03,708 --> 01:13:05,876
Do they not want us to
be seen above ground?
1090
01:13:05,877 --> 01:13:07,677
And where is he? I'm an hour late.
1091
01:13:07,678 --> 01:13:10,146
- Hour and a half.
- Don't start on me, lamb chop.
1092
01:13:10,147 --> 01:13:13,316
- Tommy, where were you?
- I was up at Bellevue.
1093
01:13:13,317 --> 01:13:17,120
Had to put a sweet dying
child together with his mama.
1094
01:13:17,121 --> 01:13:20,790
They hadn't seen
each other for 15 years.
1095
01:13:20,791 --> 01:13:22,726
He never told her he was gay.
1096
01:13:22,727 --> 01:13:26,195
He didn't want to see her. He
refused to see her for weeks.
1097
01:13:26,196 --> 01:13:29,232
Oh, he was angry when
I waltzed in with her.
1098
01:13:30,834 --> 01:13:34,536
It was a real weeper. Mama holding her son.
1099
01:13:34,537 --> 01:13:37,339
He's dead now.
1100
01:13:38,942 --> 01:13:41,877
I'm truly sorry I'm
late. I'm Hiram Keebler.
1101
01:13:41,878 --> 01:13:44,747
Hello. Are you related to the
folks who make the crackers?
1102
01:13:44,748 --> 01:13:47,283
I'm kidding. I'm Tommy Boatwright.
1103
01:13:47,284 --> 01:13:49,718
Ned Weeks.
1104
01:13:49,719 --> 01:13:51,953
Bruce Niles. I'm the president.
1105
01:13:51,954 --> 01:13:53,822
The mayor wants you to
know how much he cares
1106
01:13:53,823 --> 01:13:56,625
and how impressed he is with
how you've been shouldering
1107
01:13:56,626 --> 01:13:58,660
your own responsibilities.
1108
01:13:58,661 --> 01:14:00,262
- Thank you.
- Thank you?
1109
01:14:00,263 --> 01:14:02,164
Responsibilities? Everything we're doing
1110
01:14:02,165 --> 01:14:04,266
is the stuff you guys should
be doing and we need help.
1111
01:14:04,267 --> 01:14:05,867
Uh, what Mr. Weeks is trying to say, sir,
1112
01:14:05,868 --> 01:14:07,568
is that... we're swamped.
1113
01:14:07,569 --> 01:14:11,506
We're fielding over 500 calls
a day on our emergency hotline.
1114
01:14:11,507 --> 01:14:13,708
And we're providing
information that, quite frankly,
1115
01:14:13,709 --> 01:14:15,843
the city should be providing, and isn't.
1116
01:14:15,844 --> 01:14:17,978
Sir, we need office space.
We have one small room.
1117
01:14:17,979 --> 01:14:20,548
We have over 100 people calling
or walking in and out every day,
1118
01:14:20,549 --> 01:14:22,717
and plus it's real hard when
people don't want to rent to us
1119
01:14:22,718 --> 01:14:24,686
because we're...
- Whoa. That's illegal discrimination.
1120
01:14:24,687 --> 01:14:26,187
Yeah, we know that to be true, sir.
1121
01:14:26,188 --> 01:14:28,889
Mr. Keebler, it is not illegal to
discriminate against homosexuals.
1122
01:14:28,890 --> 01:14:31,325
We've been waiting for 14
months to see the mayor.
1123
01:14:31,326 --> 01:14:33,493
It's taken us a year to
get this meeting with you.
1124
01:14:33,494 --> 01:14:34,600
You're an hour and a half late.
1125
01:14:34,601 --> 01:14:36,955
Have you told the mayor
there's an epidemic going on?
1126
01:14:36,956 --> 01:14:38,199
- Uh, says who?
- The government.
1127
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:39,967
Which government? What? Our government?
1128
01:14:39,968 --> 01:14:42,303
An epidemic?
- The Centers for Disease Control declared it...
1129
01:14:42,304 --> 01:14:44,338
- 17 months ago.
- You can't not know this!
1130
01:14:44,339 --> 01:14:46,307
Could you please reduce
your level of hysteria?
1131
01:14:46,308 --> 01:14:47,774
Certainly.
1132
01:14:48,843 --> 01:14:52,145
New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles,
1133
01:14:52,146 --> 01:14:56,082
Chicago, Boston, Denver. Every
single major American city
1134
01:14:56,083 --> 01:14:57,617
is now showing cases.
1135
01:14:57,618 --> 01:15:00,420
At least 25 foreign
countries. But New York City,
1136
01:15:00,421 --> 01:15:02,922
our home, the city that
you have pledged to protect
1137
01:15:02,923 --> 01:15:04,423
has more than half of everything.
1138
01:15:04,424 --> 01:15:06,226
Half the cases, half the dead.
1139
01:15:06,227 --> 01:15:08,995
I know 57 of the dead ones.
I don't wanna know any more.
1140
01:15:08,996 --> 01:15:10,964
Now, when do we get to see the mayor?
1141
01:15:10,965 --> 01:15:13,066
14 months is a long
time to be out to lunch.
1142
01:15:13,067 --> 01:15:16,202
- You wait a minute.
- No, you wait a minute. We can't.
1143
01:15:16,203 --> 01:15:18,104
Time is not on our side.
1144
01:15:18,105 --> 01:15:20,205
Now, if you won't take word to
the mayor, what are we gonna do?
1145
01:15:20,206 --> 01:15:22,775
Hire a hunky hustler and
send him up to Gracie Mansion
1146
01:15:22,776 --> 01:15:24,643
with a plea tattooed to his cock?
1147
01:15:24,644 --> 01:15:28,313
- Mayor Koch is not gay!
- Oh, come on, "Blanche."
1148
01:15:31,485 --> 01:15:33,118
Listen.
1149
01:15:33,119 --> 01:15:35,921
Don't you think I want to help you?
1150
01:15:35,922 --> 01:15:38,490
I have a friend who is dying of this shit,
1151
01:15:38,491 --> 01:15:40,926
right now in the V.A. hospital.
1152
01:15:40,927 --> 01:15:44,763
But it's very tricky. You can
see that. It is very tricky.
1153
01:15:44,764 --> 01:15:47,132
Tricky, shit! There are a
million gay people in New York.
1154
01:15:47,133 --> 01:15:48,934
A million and one counting you!
1155
01:15:48,935 --> 01:15:51,503
You know what? A fire goes
out in a school furnace
1156
01:15:51,504 --> 01:15:55,740
on the West Side. I get
3,000 calls in one day.
1157
01:15:55,741 --> 01:15:57,609
You know what I mean?
1158
01:15:57,610 --> 01:16:00,912
If so many of you are so upset, why
do I only hear from this loudmouth?
1159
01:16:00,913 --> 01:16:04,482
- That's a very good question.
- Okay, so there are half a million
1160
01:16:04,483 --> 01:16:08,319
gay men in our area. 315
cases doesn't seem too high,
1161
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,721
considering how many of
us... of you there are.
1162
01:16:10,722 --> 01:16:13,090
- This is bullshit!
- Ned, please.
1163
01:16:13,091 --> 01:16:14,992
Look, I understand this is tricky, sir.
1164
01:16:14,993 --> 01:16:17,461
- But we need your help...
- I think, that is, that the mayor thinks
1165
01:16:17,462 --> 01:16:19,163
you guys are overreacting.
1166
01:16:19,164 --> 01:16:23,734
You tell that cocksucker he is a
selfish, heartless son of a bitch!
1167
01:16:30,374 --> 01:16:32,342
You are Michael R. Marcus. You hold
1168
01:16:32,343 --> 01:16:34,678
an unsecure job with the
city's Department of Health.
1169
01:16:34,679 --> 01:16:37,013
I'd watch out for your
friends if I were you.
1170
01:16:49,093 --> 01:16:50,393
I don't believe that just happened.
1171
01:16:50,394 --> 01:16:53,029
Mickey, I am going on
"The Today Show" tomorrow
1172
01:16:53,030 --> 01:16:54,597
and I am telling them
1173
01:16:54,598 --> 01:16:57,300
that the mayor just threatened
your job to shut us up.
1174
01:16:57,301 --> 01:16:59,435
"The Today Show"? You're gonna what?
1175
01:16:59,436 --> 01:17:02,472
They are treating us like
shit and we're allowing them.
1176
01:17:02,473 --> 01:17:05,975
No, politicians, the only thing
they really respond to is pressure.
1177
01:17:05,976 --> 01:17:08,978
You heard him with his
"3,000 West Side calls."
1178
01:17:08,979 --> 01:17:10,646
We're not yelling loud enough!
1179
01:17:16,853 --> 01:17:18,320
Get your stuff.
1180
01:17:18,321 --> 01:17:20,422
Get your stuff.
1181
01:17:38,741 --> 01:17:40,775
- This is Tommy.
- Tommy, it's Ned.
1182
01:17:40,776 --> 01:17:44,513
- Hey.
- Nick died.
1183
01:17:44,514 --> 01:17:46,781
Shit.
1184
01:17:46,782 --> 01:17:48,782
God damn.
1185
01:17:48,783 --> 01:17:52,586
I'll call later when I know
more about the memorial.
1186
01:18:00,029 --> 01:18:02,030
I have this tradition.
1187
01:18:03,732 --> 01:18:06,133
It's something I do now when a friend dies.
1188
01:18:08,970 --> 01:18:12,372
I save his Rolodex card.
1189
01:18:12,373 --> 01:18:14,074
What am I supposed to do?
1190
01:18:14,075 --> 01:18:16,176
Throw it away in the trash can?
1191
01:18:16,177 --> 01:18:18,012
I won't do that.
1192
01:18:18,013 --> 01:18:19,880
No, I won't.
1193
01:18:19,881 --> 01:18:21,915
That's too final.
1194
01:18:25,286 --> 01:18:28,721
Last year I had five cards.
1195
01:18:28,722 --> 01:18:31,624
Now I have 50.
1196
01:18:31,625 --> 01:18:34,361
A collection of cardboard tombstones,
1197
01:18:34,362 --> 01:18:36,796
bound together with a rubber band.
1198
01:18:38,365 --> 01:18:40,900
I hate these fuckin' funerals.
1199
01:18:40,901 --> 01:18:43,002
I really do.
1200
01:18:44,204 --> 01:18:45,872
And you know what else I hate?
1201
01:18:45,873 --> 01:18:47,974
I hate the memorials.
1202
01:18:47,975 --> 01:18:50,342
That's our social life now.
1203
01:18:50,343 --> 01:18:52,645
Going to these things.
1204
01:18:58,518 --> 01:19:01,653
Nick was a choreographer.
1205
01:19:01,654 --> 01:19:04,723
I don't know if any of you knew that.
1206
01:19:04,724 --> 01:19:08,026
He was just starting out. He
didn't tell a lot of people.
1207
01:19:08,027 --> 01:19:11,096
He was waiting to invite you to his
1208
01:19:11,097 --> 01:19:13,431
big debut at Carnegie Hall or some shit
1209
01:19:13,432 --> 01:19:15,934
so we could all be proud of him.
1210
01:19:18,972 --> 01:19:22,307
But he was so good.
1211
01:19:22,308 --> 01:19:24,743
He had such promise.
1212
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:30,582
We're losing an entire generation.
1213
01:19:32,451 --> 01:19:34,619
Young men at the beginning.
1214
01:19:34,620 --> 01:19:37,054
Just gone.
1215
01:19:37,055 --> 01:19:40,891
Choreographers, playwrights,
1216
01:19:40,892 --> 01:19:43,561
dancers, actors.
1217
01:19:45,296 --> 01:19:48,332
All those plays that won't get written now.
1218
01:19:50,969 --> 01:19:54,739
All those dances never to be danced.
1219
01:19:59,077 --> 01:20:02,646
In closing, I'm just gonna say I'm mad.
1220
01:20:02,647 --> 01:20:04,814
I'm fuckin' mad.
1221
01:20:06,184 --> 01:20:09,386
I keep screaming inside,
"Why are they letting us die?"
1222
01:20:10,421 --> 01:20:13,056
"Why is no one helping us?"
1223
01:20:16,927 --> 01:20:19,462
And here's the truth.
1224
01:20:19,463 --> 01:20:21,631
Here's the answer.
1225
01:20:24,635 --> 01:20:26,836
They just don't like us.
1226
01:21:41,075 --> 01:21:44,445
I'm going to beat this.
1227
01:21:44,446 --> 01:21:46,980
I've always been lucky.
1228
01:21:49,618 --> 01:21:52,620
Good. That's the right attitude.
1229
01:21:53,955 --> 01:21:57,523
I wanted a job on the "Times," I got it.
1230
01:21:57,524 --> 01:21:59,760
I wanted Ned.
1231
01:22:04,565 --> 01:22:07,200
Have I given it to Ned?
1232
01:22:07,201 --> 01:22:09,535
I don't know.
1233
01:22:15,008 --> 01:22:17,343
One person has a cold,
1234
01:22:17,344 --> 01:22:19,579
sometimes the partner
catches it, sometimes not.
1235
01:22:21,282 --> 01:22:24,049
Some doctors are saying
it's okay if we use condoms.
1236
01:22:24,050 --> 01:22:26,152
I know they are.
1237
01:22:40,167 --> 01:22:42,234
- Can we kiss?
- Felix.
1238
01:22:42,235 --> 01:22:43,936
You have nothing to fight back with.
1239
01:22:43,937 --> 01:22:45,637
You have no immune system to speak of.
1240
01:22:45,638 --> 01:22:48,674
Your body is now open to every
conceivable type of infection.
1241
01:22:48,675 --> 01:22:50,175
You must be careful.
1242
01:22:50,176 --> 01:22:54,245
I'm going to do my damnedest, so must you.
1243
01:22:54,246 --> 01:22:56,080
I bet you say that to all the boys.
1244
01:22:56,081 --> 01:22:58,517
As a matter of fact,
1245
01:22:58,518 --> 01:23:00,619
I do.
1246
01:23:23,107 --> 01:23:26,777
Oh, God.
1247
01:23:26,778 --> 01:23:29,780
Oh.
1248
01:23:36,921 --> 01:23:38,822
Once upon a time
there was a little boy
1249
01:23:38,823 --> 01:23:42,359
who always wanted to
love another little boy.
1250
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:44,494
One day he finally found that love
1251
01:23:44,495 --> 01:23:46,330
and it was wonderful.
1252
01:23:48,066 --> 01:23:49,566
I'm supposed to use gloves.
1253
01:23:49,567 --> 01:23:52,001
I'm supposed to do this.
I'm supposed to do that.
1254
01:23:52,002 --> 01:23:54,136
I'm supposed to not kiss him.
1255
01:23:54,137 --> 01:23:57,374
- I'm so sorry.
- I'm not supposed to be only 45 years old
1256
01:23:57,375 --> 01:24:00,343
and taking care of a
35-year-old young man
1257
01:24:00,344 --> 01:24:02,512
who's 100 years old and dying.
1258
01:24:07,050 --> 01:24:09,218
Emma calls it a seesaw.
1259
01:24:10,220 --> 01:24:12,421
He's fine, he gets sick,
1260
01:24:13,790 --> 01:24:15,457
he gets better...
1261
01:24:17,460 --> 01:24:19,362
he gets sicker.
1262
01:24:19,363 --> 01:24:22,331
God help me.
1263
01:24:35,478 --> 01:24:37,780
He's afraid I'll leave him.
1264
01:24:38,981 --> 01:24:41,783
I told him I wouldn't leave him.
1265
01:24:41,784 --> 01:24:45,120
That I never for one second
would think of leaving him.
1266
01:24:45,121 --> 01:24:47,222
But he doesn't believe me.
1267
01:24:49,392 --> 01:24:53,061
It's hard to believe in much these days.
1268
01:24:53,062 --> 01:24:56,798
But we must never stop
believing in each other.
1269
01:25:01,804 --> 01:25:05,372
I'm a mess. That's what I am.
1270
01:25:09,277 --> 01:25:12,680
You cry and you cry until
you think can't cry anymore
1271
01:25:14,349 --> 01:25:16,550
and then you cry somee.e.e.
1272
01:25:22,623 --> 01:25:26,393
Not only for yourself or Felix,
but for all the little boys
1273
01:25:26,394 --> 01:25:28,262
who finally found their other little boys
1274
01:25:28,263 --> 01:25:31,865
they've wanted all their
lives now that we're men.
1275
01:25:36,671 --> 01:25:38,939
G.M.H.C.
1276
01:25:38,940 --> 01:25:40,707
Estelle speaking. How may I assist you?
1277
01:25:40,708 --> 01:25:42,542
Someone needs a will!
1278
01:25:42,543 --> 01:25:44,511
- Where's Ned? I want to speak to him.
- He's in the back.
1279
01:25:44,512 --> 01:25:45,912
- Here, give him this number.
- Thank you.
1280
01:25:45,913 --> 01:25:47,246
- G.M.H.C.
- G.M.H.C.
1281
01:25:47,247 --> 01:25:49,449
Tommy, I think I got
us maybe four qualified
1282
01:25:49,450 --> 01:25:51,150
social workers to volunteer.
1283
01:25:51,151 --> 01:25:54,287
- They're all lesbians.
- Thank God for the lesbians.
1284
01:25:54,288 --> 01:25:56,522
Your anus?
1285
01:25:56,523 --> 01:25:59,392
Oh, Planet Uranus.
1286
01:25:59,393 --> 01:26:02,061
Thank you for sharing.
1287
01:26:02,062 --> 01:26:04,296
Mickey, why aren't you in Rio?
1288
01:26:04,297 --> 01:26:07,032
I put the phones on service.
You guys should get some rest.
1289
01:26:07,033 --> 01:26:09,502
We don't want any burnouts.
1290
01:26:09,503 --> 01:26:11,837
Good night, Phil. Thank you.
1291
01:26:11,838 --> 01:26:13,171
Night, honey.
1292
01:26:13,172 --> 01:26:14,339
- Bye, baby.
- Good night, sweetheart.
1293
01:26:14,340 --> 01:26:16,575
Good work today.
1294
01:26:16,576 --> 01:26:18,210
All right.
1295
01:26:21,481 --> 01:26:24,416
Phil got diagnosed today.
1296
01:26:29,088 --> 01:26:31,656
Mickey, why aren't you on vacation in Rio?
1297
01:26:31,657 --> 01:26:33,791
I was in Rio. Gregory...
1298
01:26:33,792 --> 01:26:35,960
and I were in Rio.
1299
01:26:35,961 --> 01:26:37,996
I get a call from Hiram's office
1300
01:26:37,997 --> 01:26:41,198
saying I should be in his office
right away first thing this morning.
1301
01:26:41,199 --> 01:26:44,168
From Rio? What kind of meeting?
1302
01:26:44,169 --> 01:26:48,172
I get to City Hall, Hiram
keeps me waiting forever.
1303
01:26:48,173 --> 01:26:51,075
And finally the commissioner
comes out and he says
1304
01:26:51,076 --> 01:26:55,446
that Hiram doesn't want to see me anymore.
1305
01:26:55,447 --> 01:27:01,252
I wanted to scream, "I haven't
slept in two days, you dumb fuck."
1306
01:27:01,253 --> 01:27:04,221
But I didn't. Instead I said,
1307
01:27:04,222 --> 01:27:06,257
"Please, sir, then...
1308
01:27:06,258 --> 01:27:10,326
why did he make me come
all the way back from Rio?"
1309
01:27:10,327 --> 01:27:13,997
And he says, "Oh, I'm afraid he
didn't take me into his confidence."
1310
01:27:13,998 --> 01:27:16,099
And he walks off.
1311
01:27:17,936 --> 01:27:21,538
Ned's article attacking
Hiram just came out.
1312
01:27:21,539 --> 01:27:25,175
I'm not going to lose my job
because Ned doesn't like himself.
1313
01:27:25,176 --> 01:27:27,944
What's that, Mick?
1314
01:27:27,945 --> 01:27:30,947
You keep trying to get us to say
things that we don't wanna say
1315
01:27:30,948 --> 01:27:32,549
and I don't think we can afford
1316
01:27:32,550 --> 01:27:34,951
to make so many enemies
before we have enough friends.
1317
01:27:34,952 --> 01:27:37,753
Terry Spaulding is
calling all of his friends
1318
01:27:37,754 --> 01:27:40,323
from under his oxygen tank to say goodbye.
1319
01:27:40,324 --> 01:27:42,658
Tibby Maurer took an overdose.
1320
01:27:42,659 --> 01:27:45,728
Hal Schechter has got stumps for feet.
1321
01:27:45,729 --> 01:27:50,633
- Frannie Santuzza's lost his mind!
- Will you stop it? Just stop!
1322
01:27:50,634 --> 01:27:53,803
- Mickey, you all right?
- I don't think so.
1323
01:27:55,271 --> 01:27:57,673
Why can't they find the virus?
1324
01:27:57,674 --> 01:27:59,541
Baby, it takes time.
1325
01:27:59,542 --> 01:28:02,844
I work all day for the
city writing stuff on...
1326
01:28:02,845 --> 01:28:04,679
breast-feeding versus formula
1327
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:06,515
and how to stay calm when you have herpes.
1328
01:28:06,516 --> 01:28:09,651
And at night I work on our newsletter
and our health column for the "Native."
1329
01:28:09,652 --> 01:28:13,054
I just... I can't take it anymore.
1330
01:28:13,055 --> 01:28:16,925
I have written about every single theory.
1331
01:28:16,926 --> 01:28:18,927
Repeated infection by a virus.
1332
01:28:18,928 --> 01:28:20,695
New appearance by a dormant virus.
1333
01:28:20,696 --> 01:28:25,233
Single virus, new virus, old
virus, multi-virus, partial virus,
1334
01:28:25,234 --> 01:28:27,736
- latent virus, mutant virus...
- Take it easy, honey.
1335
01:28:27,737 --> 01:28:30,404
No, we mustn't forget
about fucking and sucking
1336
01:28:30,405 --> 01:28:31,973
and kissing and blood and voodoo
1337
01:28:31,974 --> 01:28:33,741
and drugs and poppers and needles
1338
01:28:33,742 --> 01:28:36,010
and Africa, Haiti, Cuba, blacks,
1339
01:28:36,011 --> 01:28:40,881
amoebas, pigs, fucking Uranus!
1340
01:28:43,985 --> 01:28:47,421
- What if it isn't any of them?
- I don't know.
1341
01:28:47,422 --> 01:28:50,524
The great plague of London was
caused by drinking water from a pump
1342
01:28:50,525 --> 01:28:53,293
that just nobody... nobody noticed it.
1343
01:28:55,563 --> 01:28:58,431
Maybe it's predisposition
or the theory of the herd...
1344
01:28:58,432 --> 01:29:02,903
only so many of us are going to
get it, then the pool's used up.
1345
01:29:02,904 --> 01:29:05,338
What if it's monogamy? Bruce, you and I
1346
01:29:05,339 --> 01:29:07,674
could actually be worse off
1347
01:29:07,675 --> 01:29:10,310
because of constant bombardment
from a single source...
1348
01:29:10,311 --> 01:29:12,212
our lovers.
1349
01:29:12,213 --> 01:29:13,813
So maybe the guys who go to the baths,
1350
01:29:13,814 --> 01:29:15,515
maybe they've built up the best immunity.
1351
01:29:15,516 --> 01:29:18,918
I don't know what to tell anybody
anymore and everybody asks me.
1352
01:29:18,919 --> 01:29:20,487
Who's right? I don't know.
1353
01:29:20,488 --> 01:29:22,421
Who's wrong? I feel...
1354
01:29:22,422 --> 01:29:25,124
I feel so fucking inadequate.
1355
01:29:25,125 --> 01:29:28,260
How can we tell people, "Stop"?
1356
01:29:28,261 --> 01:29:32,131
It's just... I
don't... it might be caused by...
1357
01:29:32,132 --> 01:29:33,700
I don't know. I don't know.
1358
01:29:33,701 --> 01:29:36,535
That's exactly how I feel.
1359
01:29:36,536 --> 01:29:38,870
And maybe he's right.
1360
01:29:38,871 --> 01:29:40,472
And that scares me.
1361
01:29:40,473 --> 01:29:42,841
Neddy, you scare me.
1362
01:29:42,842 --> 01:29:45,244
You really think the president...
1363
01:29:45,245 --> 01:29:48,180
that he wants this to happen?
You really think the CIA
1364
01:29:48,181 --> 01:29:50,115
has unleashed germ warfare
1365
01:29:50,116 --> 01:29:53,118
to kill off all the queers
that Jerry Falwell doesn't want?
1366
01:29:53,119 --> 01:29:56,487
- Mick. Try to hold on.
- To what?
1367
01:29:56,488 --> 01:29:58,389
I used to love my country.
1368
01:29:58,390 --> 01:30:00,391
The "Native" received an
anonymous letter describing
1369
01:30:00,392 --> 01:30:03,795
top-secret Defense Department
experiments at Fort Detrick, Maryland...
1370
01:30:03,796 --> 01:30:07,498
that have produced a virus that
can destroy the immune system.
1371
01:30:07,499 --> 01:30:09,634
Its codename was "Firm Hand."
1372
01:30:09,635 --> 01:30:12,637
They started testing it
in 1978 on a group of gays.
1373
01:30:12,638 --> 01:30:13,971
I never used to believe shit like that...
1374
01:30:13,972 --> 01:30:15,940
they're gonna persecute us!
1375
01:30:15,941 --> 01:30:17,775
They're gonna cancel our health insurance,
1376
01:30:17,776 --> 01:30:19,477
they're gonna put us into camps,
they're gonna quarantine us.
1377
01:30:19,478 --> 01:30:21,346
And you think that I'm killing people?
1378
01:30:21,347 --> 01:30:24,982
- That is not what I said.
- It is, you know you said it.
1379
01:30:26,719 --> 01:30:28,753
I've spent 15 years of my life
1380
01:30:28,754 --> 01:30:30,554
fighting for our right to be free
1381
01:30:30,555 --> 01:30:32,522
and to make love wherever, whenever.
1382
01:30:32,523 --> 01:30:34,058
And you're telling me all those years
1383
01:30:34,059 --> 01:30:37,061
of what being gay stood for is wrong!
1384
01:30:37,062 --> 01:30:40,765
And that I'm a murderer.
1385
01:30:40,766 --> 01:30:45,101
We have been so oppressed.
Don't you remember?
1386
01:30:45,102 --> 01:30:49,239
Can't you see how important
it is for us to love openly,
1387
01:30:49,240 --> 01:30:52,342
without hiding, without guilt?
1388
01:30:52,343 --> 01:30:54,711
Why can't you see that?
1389
01:30:59,450 --> 01:31:01,648
I went to the top of the
Empire State Building.
1390
01:31:01,649 --> 01:31:03,031
Okay, I'm taking you home.
1391
01:31:03,032 --> 01:31:04,754
You can jump off from
there when nobody's looking.
1392
01:31:04,755 --> 01:31:07,056
All right, Mickey,
let's go home. Right now.
1393
01:31:12,830 --> 01:31:15,364
Ned, I'm not a murderer. I'm not.
1394
01:31:17,101 --> 01:31:19,868
All my life I've been hated for being gay,
1395
01:31:19,869 --> 01:31:21,637
for being short...
1396
01:31:21,638 --> 01:31:23,306
Jewish.
1397
01:31:23,307 --> 01:31:24,873
So go ahead, you tell everybody.
1398
01:31:24,874 --> 01:31:27,042
Tell everybody that we
were wrong and I'm sorry.
1399
01:31:27,043 --> 01:31:29,578
Someday, somebody's gonna come along
1400
01:31:29,579 --> 01:31:31,380
and they're gonna stick the knife in you
1401
01:31:31,381 --> 01:31:34,616
and tell you everything you
fought for your whole life is shit!
1402
01:31:34,617 --> 01:31:35,784
Mickey!
1403
01:31:35,785 --> 01:31:38,520
Mickey! Get up!
1404
01:31:38,521 --> 01:31:40,189
- Get up. Come here.
- It's okay.
1405
01:31:40,190 --> 01:31:42,357
Come on.
1406
01:31:42,358 --> 01:31:45,493
I'm gonna take you home now, okay?
1407
01:31:45,494 --> 01:31:49,564
I don't wanna go home.
Take me to St. Vincent's.
1408
01:31:49,565 --> 01:31:52,834
Okay. That's fine. Come. Let's go.
1409
01:31:54,670 --> 01:31:57,839
Look, we're all real tired, you hear me?
1410
01:31:57,840 --> 01:32:02,477
We got ourselves here a
lot of bereavement overload.
1411
01:32:08,884 --> 01:32:11,785
We're the fighters. Aren't we?
1412
01:32:11,786 --> 01:32:14,421
We're the fi...
- You bet, sweetness.
1413
01:32:14,422 --> 01:32:17,225
And you're a hero.?
1414
01:32:17,226 --> 01:32:21,162
You're a hero whether you know that or not.
1415
01:32:21,163 --> 01:32:23,164
You're our first hero.
1416
01:32:23,165 --> 01:32:25,265
Let's go.
1417
01:32:34,542 --> 01:32:36,543
You wanna be president?
1418
01:32:36,544 --> 01:32:38,912
I just want Felix to live.
1419
01:32:49,823 --> 01:32:53,293
Gay Men's Health Crisis.
1420
01:32:53,294 --> 01:32:56,296
Hiram, old buddy. How's it hanging?
1421
01:33:04,605 --> 01:33:06,005
Mm.
1422
01:33:10,577 --> 01:33:13,145
- You ready?
- Yeah.
1423
01:33:13,146 --> 01:33:15,114
The mayor's found a secret little fund
1424
01:33:15,115 --> 01:33:17,482
for giving away money secretly.
1425
01:33:17,483 --> 01:33:19,885
We are not allowed to tell
anyone where we got it,
1426
01:33:19,886 --> 01:33:22,988
and if we do, we'll never get any more.
1427
01:33:22,989 --> 01:33:25,690
- How much?
- $9,000.
1428
01:33:27,493 --> 01:33:28,827
Ned.
1429
01:33:32,097 --> 01:33:34,165
Albert's dead.
1430
01:33:37,069 --> 01:33:40,071
His mother wanted to see him
in Phoenix before he died.
1431
01:33:41,474 --> 01:33:44,743
And this was the last
week, when it was obvious.
1432
01:33:44,744 --> 01:33:49,180
So I got permission from Emma
and took him to the airport.
1433
01:33:57,889 --> 01:33:59,790
And when we got to the airport,
1434
01:33:59,791 --> 01:34:02,927
the pilot refused to fly the plane.
1435
01:34:02,928 --> 01:34:05,629
So I refused to get off of it.
1436
01:34:07,098 --> 01:34:10,900
You would have been very proud of me, Ned.
1437
01:34:10,901 --> 01:34:13,203
So finally we get another pilot
1438
01:34:15,506 --> 01:34:18,508
and when we take off,
1439
01:34:18,509 --> 01:34:21,845
Albert just loses his mind.
1440
01:34:21,846 --> 01:34:23,212
I don't wanna be in this thing.
1441
01:34:23,213 --> 01:34:25,582
It's okay.
- I don't wanna be in this...
1442
01:34:25,583 --> 01:34:28,485
- I'm just gonna go.
- No, Albert.
1443
01:34:28,486 --> 01:34:30,353
I don't wanna...
1444
01:34:30,354 --> 01:34:32,088
- Albert.
- Tell him to sit down.
1445
01:34:33,858 --> 01:34:37,794
- I'm sorry.
- Sir, sir, you have to keep seated.
1446
01:34:37,795 --> 01:34:41,230
- Sit down up there.
- Sir, have a seat. You have to...
1447
01:34:41,231 --> 01:34:43,532
No!
1448
01:34:43,533 --> 01:34:44,700
- Sir...
- Stop!
1449
01:34:44,701 --> 01:34:46,402
Sir!
1450
01:34:46,403 --> 01:34:49,905
We gotta sit down, okay?
1451
01:34:49,906 --> 01:34:53,376
He doesn't recognize me.
1452
01:34:53,377 --> 01:34:54,877
It's me. It's me.
1453
01:34:54,878 --> 01:34:56,979
Doesn't know where we're going.
1454
01:34:56,980 --> 01:34:59,147
- We're almost home.
- That we're going to see his mother
1455
01:34:59,148 --> 01:35:03,118
in Phoenix... nothing.
1456
01:35:03,119 --> 01:35:05,988
- He just becomes...
1457
01:35:05,989 --> 01:35:09,157
Oh, shit. Can I get a
goddamn towel, please?
1458
01:35:09,158 --> 01:35:13,361
When we land in Phoenix
and when we get to the hospital
1459
01:35:13,362 --> 01:35:16,631
where his mother had fixed
up the room real nice...
1460
01:35:20,469 --> 01:35:22,603
Albert is dead.
1461
01:35:27,143 --> 01:35:29,911
The hospital doctors refused to examine him
1462
01:35:29,912 --> 01:35:32,513
and give him a cause of death
on his death certificate.
1463
01:35:32,514 --> 01:35:36,216
Without the death certificate,
the undertakers will not take him.
1464
01:35:36,217 --> 01:35:39,954
- And neither would the police.
- - Come on, man. Pull it down.
1465
01:35:39,955 --> 01:35:43,824
Finally some orderly comes
in and stuffs my Albert
1466
01:35:43,825 --> 01:35:46,293
in an oversized Glad garbage bag
1467
01:35:46,294 --> 01:35:49,496
and puts him in the alley
with the rest of the garbage.
1468
01:35:50,898 --> 01:35:54,034
I did you a favor, man. I got him out.
1469
01:35:54,035 --> 01:35:56,303
I want 50 bucks.
1470
01:36:19,393 --> 01:36:22,661
- Is that all of him?
- Yep.
1471
01:36:22,662 --> 01:36:25,831
You want him? $3,000.
1472
01:36:33,373 --> 01:36:37,175
He's gone. He's gone.
1473
01:36:37,176 --> 01:36:40,779
Gone.
1474
01:36:40,780 --> 01:36:44,049
Oh, God.
1475
01:36:46,953 --> 01:36:49,121
"I am telling you
they are murdering us
1476
01:36:49,122 --> 01:36:50,555
and we are letting them.
1477
01:36:50,556 --> 01:36:52,257
- We're gonna die."
1478
01:36:52,258 --> 01:36:53,992
"We're gonna die very soon,
1479
01:36:53,993 --> 01:36:56,595
unless you get off your
fucking asses and fight back."
1480
01:37:13,545 --> 01:37:15,346
Emma's in there waiting.
1481
01:37:28,326 --> 01:37:31,295
Come on, two bites. Come on, now.
1482
01:37:31,296 --> 01:37:35,032
- No.
- Don't make me break out the yogurt.
1483
01:37:39,171 --> 01:37:42,706
- One more.
- Have you talked to your brother yet?
1484
01:37:50,148 --> 01:37:53,850
I remember that about you.
1485
01:37:53,851 --> 01:37:57,154
You don't talk to the people
you love most in the world.
1486
01:38:03,894 --> 01:38:06,462
You want me to get better
and I'm not getting better
1487
01:38:06,463 --> 01:38:09,065
and I feel so fucking guilty.
1488
01:38:21,444 --> 01:38:24,613
You have a lunch meeting
with Bill Blass on Friday.
1489
01:38:24,614 --> 01:38:27,950
- Fancy.
- Mm...
1490
01:38:27,951 --> 01:38:30,219
I'm call with my regrets.
1491
01:38:32,788 --> 01:38:34,250
What are you doing?
1492
01:38:34,251 --> 01:38:36,274
Making a date with you two months from now.
1493
01:38:36,859 --> 01:38:39,361
I've been invited to
speak at Yale's Gay Week.
1494
01:38:39,362 --> 01:38:42,997
And we're going. Remember how I told
you they have those dances there now?
1495
01:38:42,998 --> 01:38:45,467
You're my date.
1496
01:39:14,796 --> 01:39:17,365
I want you to live so much.
1497
01:39:17,366 --> 01:39:19,933
I'm not supposed to say that.
1498
01:39:25,473 --> 01:39:28,575
Oh, please, God. Give us one more year.
1499
01:39:32,247 --> 01:39:34,948
I promise I'll eat my spinach.
1500
01:40:00,340 --> 01:40:02,008
I am taking care
1501
01:40:02,009 --> 01:40:03,976
of more victims of this disease
1502
01:40:03,977 --> 01:40:05,611
than anyone in the world.
1503
01:40:05,612 --> 01:40:07,780
We have more frozen blood samples,
1504
01:40:07,781 --> 01:40:09,915
more data of every kind,
1505
01:40:09,916 --> 01:40:12,551
and much more experience.
1506
01:40:15,121 --> 01:40:18,624
Dr. Brookner, the
government's position is this.
1507
01:40:18,625 --> 01:40:22,461
There are $5 million in the
pipeline for which we have received
1508
01:40:22,462 --> 01:40:25,096
over $55 million worth of requests.
1509
01:40:25,097 --> 01:40:28,867
5 million doesn't seem quite
right for some 2,000 cases.
1510
01:40:28,868 --> 01:40:33,805
The government spent 3 million
investigating seven deaths from Tylenol.
1511
01:40:33,806 --> 01:40:36,607
- We're entering the third year.
- We voted to reject
1512
01:40:36,608 --> 01:40:39,077
your application for funding.
1513
01:40:39,078 --> 01:40:41,546
Oh?
1514
01:40:41,547 --> 01:40:43,013
I'd like to hear your reasons.
1515
01:40:43,014 --> 01:40:45,249
The direction of the
research you're suggesting
1516
01:40:45,250 --> 01:40:48,118
is imprecise and unfocused.
1517
01:40:48,119 --> 01:40:50,688
Oh, it is, is it?
1518
01:40:50,689 --> 01:40:52,957
You don't know what's
going on any more than I do.
1519
01:40:52,958 --> 01:40:56,461
Could you tell me precisely
why you're blocking my efforts?
1520
01:40:56,462 --> 01:40:59,129
Dr. Brookner. There are
now other investigators.
1521
01:40:59,130 --> 01:41:02,366
This is no longer only your disease,
though you seem to think it is.
1522
01:41:02,367 --> 01:41:03,800
Oh, I do, do I?
1523
01:41:03,801 --> 01:41:06,603
And you're here to take it
away from me, is that it?
1524
01:41:06,604 --> 01:41:09,273
Well, I'll let you in on
a little secret, Doctor.
1525
01:41:09,274 --> 01:41:11,041
You can have it. I didn't
want it in the first place.
1526
01:41:11,042 --> 01:41:13,477
You think it's a privilege
to watch young men die?
1527
01:41:13,478 --> 01:41:15,479
What am I arguing with you for?
1528
01:41:15,480 --> 01:41:17,748
You do not know enough
to study boiled water.
1529
01:41:17,749 --> 01:41:20,016
How dare you come down here and judge me?!
1530
01:41:20,017 --> 01:41:22,986
We only serve on this peer review
panel at the behest of Dr. Murray.
1531
01:41:22,987 --> 01:41:26,923
Another idiot... and, by the
way, a closeted homosexual
1532
01:41:26,924 --> 01:41:31,127
doing everything in his power
to sweep this under the rug.
1533
01:41:31,128 --> 01:41:34,430
And I vowed I'd never say
anything like that in public.
1534
01:41:34,431 --> 01:41:36,032
How does it always happen
1535
01:41:36,033 --> 01:41:38,434
that all of the idiots
are always on your team?
1536
01:41:38,435 --> 01:41:41,837
How can you refuse to fund my research
1537
01:41:41,838 --> 01:41:45,041
or not invite me to participate in yours?
1538
01:41:45,042 --> 01:41:47,377
Your National Institutes of Health
1539
01:41:47,378 --> 01:41:50,546
received my first request
for money two years ago.
1540
01:41:50,547 --> 01:41:54,082
It took you one year just to
print up application forms.
1541
01:41:54,083 --> 01:41:56,886
It's taken you three years
from my first reported case
1542
01:41:56,887 --> 01:42:00,790
just to show up here for a look,
and the paltry amount of money
1543
01:42:00,791 --> 01:42:04,493
you are forcing us to beg
for out of the $4 billion
1544
01:42:04,494 --> 01:42:07,095
you now receive each and every year
1545
01:42:07,096 --> 01:42:10,865
to protect the health of American people
1546
01:42:10,866 --> 01:42:13,768
won't come to anyone
before only God knows when.
1547
01:42:13,769 --> 01:42:16,638
A promising virus has
been discovered in France.
1548
01:42:16,639 --> 01:42:18,407
Why do you refuse to
cooperate with the French?
1549
01:42:18,408 --> 01:42:22,109
Why are we told not to
cooperate with the French?
1550
01:42:22,110 --> 01:42:24,446
Just so you can steal a Nobel Prize
1551
01:42:24,447 --> 01:42:28,483
while something is being
passed around that causes death!
1552
01:42:30,085 --> 01:42:32,487
Women have been discovered
to have it in Africa
1553
01:42:32,488 --> 01:42:35,323
where it is clearly
transmitted heterosexually.
1554
01:42:35,324 --> 01:42:37,158
It is only a question of time.
1555
01:42:37,159 --> 01:42:39,660
We could all be dead
before you do anything.
1556
01:42:39,661 --> 01:42:42,229
You want my data? You want my ideas?
1557
01:42:42,230 --> 01:42:44,131
You want my patients? Take them!
1558
01:42:44,132 --> 01:42:46,700
Just do something with them!
1559
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:53,674
You're fucking right! I am...
1560
01:42:53,675 --> 01:42:57,711
imprecise and unfocused
and you are all idiots!
1561
01:43:12,059 --> 01:43:14,095
Did you organize
that picketing of the mayor?
1562
01:43:14,096 --> 01:43:15,040
Yes.
1563
01:43:15,041 --> 01:43:17,263
- And the signs?
- Yes.
1564
01:43:17,264 --> 01:43:19,799
And your next play is about a First Lady
1565
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:22,502
- who gave the best blow jobs in Hollywood.
- Yes.
1566
01:43:22,503 --> 01:43:25,738
- This place is perfect for our new office.
- Yes.
1567
01:43:35,883 --> 01:43:38,885
So tidy.
1568
01:43:38,886 --> 01:43:41,787
Here.
1569
01:43:41,788 --> 01:43:43,523
I got him.
1570
01:43:43,524 --> 01:43:45,190
Come on. Let's get you back to bed.
1571
01:43:45,191 --> 01:43:47,559
Okay.
1572
01:43:48,895 --> 01:43:50,828
Here you go.
1573
01:43:50,829 --> 01:43:53,931
Estelle made you some
stuffed cabbage for later.
1574
01:43:56,502 --> 01:43:58,669
There's this new drug in Paris.
1575
01:43:59,738 --> 01:44:02,306
Kessler's lover is flying out to get it.
1576
01:44:04,276 --> 01:44:07,978
Here it is. HPA-23.
1577
01:44:10,615 --> 01:44:12,616
Ned.
1578
01:44:14,853 --> 01:44:17,555
- He looks awful
- You this is anything
1579
01:44:17,556 --> 01:44:20,190
or is it just another shit
drug like all the rest?
1580
01:44:24,662 --> 01:44:27,830
I think you need to prepare
yourself for letting go.
1581
01:44:30,301 --> 01:44:33,903
You can't stop fighting
for the ones you love.
1582
01:44:33,904 --> 01:44:37,207
Haven't you ever had to
fight for somebody you love?
1583
01:44:46,416 --> 01:44:49,786
Tommy. You gotta start
putting yourself out there
1584
01:44:49,787 --> 01:44:52,855
in a way that everyone
else could see what I see.
1585
01:44:56,426 --> 01:44:59,861
What kind of a fucked-up
love scene is this?
1586
01:45:10,574 --> 01:45:12,808
Yes?
1587
01:45:12,809 --> 01:45:15,410
Yes, ma'am?
1588
01:45:15,411 --> 01:45:17,412
4:30 tomorrow?
1589
01:45:17,413 --> 01:45:19,615
Yes, ma'am.
1590
01:45:20,817 --> 01:45:23,151
The fucking White House.
1591
01:45:23,152 --> 01:45:26,321
Fuck the mayor. I've just been
invited to the White House.
1592
01:45:26,322 --> 01:45:27,923
They're gonna do something!
1593
01:45:33,162 --> 01:45:34,629
Oh, just so I understand,
1594
01:45:34,630 --> 01:45:37,432
what exactly does your title mean
1595
01:45:37,433 --> 01:45:39,834
in terms of our plague?
1596
01:45:39,835 --> 01:45:43,037
We prefer not to use negative
terms. It only scares people.
1597
01:45:43,038 --> 01:45:46,741
Well, there's 3,339 cases so far.
1598
01:45:46,742 --> 01:45:49,543
1,122 dead.
1599
01:45:49,544 --> 01:45:51,679
Sounds like a plague to me. I'm scared.
1600
01:45:51,680 --> 01:45:53,580
Aren't you?
1601
01:45:53,581 --> 01:45:55,415
What does your title mean again?
1602
01:45:55,416 --> 01:45:57,718
I come up with ideas for the president
1603
01:45:57,719 --> 01:45:59,654
about what he ought to
be doing and not doing.
1604
01:45:59,655 --> 01:46:01,321
Okay, good. Got it.
1605
01:46:01,322 --> 01:46:04,124
So, the money's there, right?
It just hasn't been spent.
1606
01:46:04,125 --> 01:46:07,227
So there's this new drug in France.
1607
01:46:07,228 --> 01:46:08,862
Why doesn't the N.I.H. study it?
1608
01:46:08,863 --> 01:46:12,432
I mean, what I want, what we
want, what we desperately need
1609
01:46:12,433 --> 01:46:14,768
is for somebody to help us
cut through all this red tape.
1610
01:46:14,769 --> 01:46:17,103
I can asure you that not a week goes by
1611
01:46:17,104 --> 01:46:20,073
that I don't bring new information
and reports to the president.
1612
01:46:20,074 --> 01:46:21,607
The progress that's
been made on this disease
1613
01:46:21,608 --> 01:46:23,810
- is unprecedented.
- But it's contagious.
1614
01:46:23,811 --> 01:46:25,645
Can't you see that because it's contagious,
1615
01:46:25,646 --> 01:46:28,548
you... you have to work faster?
1616
01:46:30,417 --> 01:46:32,285
Do you really believe that anybody
1617
01:46:32,286 --> 01:46:35,421
in a serious public policy
position in their heart of hearts
1618
01:46:35,422 --> 01:46:37,657
or even in their most closeted meetings
1619
01:46:37,658 --> 01:46:39,458
says to each other, "Hey, guys,
1620
01:46:39,459 --> 01:46:41,494
let's not get too upset about this"?
1621
01:46:41,495 --> 01:46:44,564
Yes, your boss hasn't said
the word "AIDS" out loud.
1622
01:46:57,476 --> 01:47:00,612
Answer me this one question.
1623
01:47:00,613 --> 01:47:02,715
This shit, can... can hookers get it?
1624
01:47:02,716 --> 01:47:05,084
Or, you know, someone
who had a one-night stand?
1625
01:47:05,085 --> 01:47:06,819
- Of course.
- You can't prove that.
1626
01:47:06,820 --> 01:47:09,020
I mean, from what I
understand, what I've read,
1627
01:47:09,021 --> 01:47:11,055
female-to-male
transmissions through normal
1628
01:47:11,056 --> 01:47:13,991
vaginal intercourse does not
seem to be very efficient.
1629
01:47:15,561 --> 01:47:17,262
It's a virus, y it doesn't discriminate.
1630
01:47:17,263 --> 01:47:18,963
Yes, but...
1631
01:47:18,964 --> 01:47:21,700
it's very difficult. Isn't it?
1632
01:47:21,701 --> 01:47:25,436
It's almost impossible
for a straight, you know,
1633
01:47:25,437 --> 01:47:28,239
regular heterosexual guy
to get it, am I right?
1634
01:47:28,240 --> 01:47:31,042
- I'm sorry?
- There's no documented cases, am I right?
1635
01:47:31,043 --> 01:47:33,144
There's not a single documented case
1636
01:47:33,145 --> 01:47:35,980
of a heterosexual man getting it?
1637
01:47:35,981 --> 01:47:39,283
Not from fucking or a blow job?
1638
01:47:39,284 --> 01:47:41,818
I don't have that information.
1639
01:47:47,459 --> 01:47:49,860
Great, that's what I thought.
1640
01:47:55,734 --> 01:47:57,468
Susan, call my meeting.
1641
01:47:57,469 --> 01:48:00,804
I'll be about 15 minutes late. Thanks.
1642
01:48:06,310 --> 01:48:08,178
- Thank you so much.
- Wait, please.
1643
01:48:08,179 --> 01:48:10,847
- Call me anytime.
- Sir. Wait.
1644
01:48:17,554 --> 01:48:20,990
100 million predicted
1645
01:48:20,991 --> 01:48:24,694
and nobody is paying any attention!
1646
01:48:24,695 --> 01:48:27,997
Hi, I need security on the second floor.
1647
01:48:57,126 --> 01:48:58,760
Why you sitting on the floor?
1648
01:48:58,761 --> 01:49:02,197
I fell down trying to
get from there to here.
1649
01:49:07,436 --> 01:49:09,037
Oh, don't touch me! God.
1650
01:49:13,342 --> 01:49:15,443
I hate it when you look at me.
1651
01:49:19,014 --> 01:49:22,216
You hungry? I'm hungry, how about you?
1652
01:49:24,319 --> 01:49:27,355
I looked in all my datebooks.
1653
01:49:27,356 --> 01:49:29,490
No one else I slept with is sick.
1654
01:49:29,491 --> 01:49:31,592
Maybe you're the carrier.
1655
01:49:37,565 --> 01:49:41,301
We don't have to do this to each other.
1656
01:49:41,302 --> 01:49:44,071
You're gonna get better, Felix. You are.
1657
01:49:47,508 --> 01:49:50,244
Emma says the N.I.H. is
finally starting research.
1658
01:49:50,245 --> 01:49:51,979
- We have to hope.
- Oh, do we?
1659
01:49:51,980 --> 01:49:55,314
- Yes, we do.
- Do we? And how am I supposed to do that?
1660
01:49:55,315 --> 01:49:56,949
Huh?
1661
01:50:01,321 --> 01:50:03,456
Stop eating that shit!
1662
01:50:03,457 --> 01:50:06,426
- Give it to me.
- No!
1663
01:50:07,895 --> 01:50:09,996
You know how important it
is to watch your nutrition.
1664
01:50:09,997 --> 01:50:11,998
I have a life expectancy
of 10 more minutes.
1665
01:50:11,999 --> 01:50:14,233
I'll eat what I wanna eat.
1666
01:50:21,341 --> 01:50:24,810
Ned.
1667
01:50:24,811 --> 01:50:28,313
It's getting messier. Okay?
1668
01:50:28,314 --> 01:50:31,149
I don't wanna make you see it.
1669
01:50:31,150 --> 01:50:32,451
Nobody can make me do anything.
1670
01:50:32,452 --> 01:50:34,119
You should know that better than anybody.
1671
01:50:34,120 --> 01:50:36,522
Now you gonna sit there on the
floor for the rest of your life?
1672
01:50:36,523 --> 01:50:37,923
- Do you hear me?
- Do you hear me?
1673
01:50:37,924 --> 01:50:39,558
- No!
- No?
1674
01:50:39,559 --> 01:50:42,761
I've had over 40 treatments. No?
1675
01:50:42,762 --> 01:50:47,632
I've had three... no, four
different kinds of chemo. No!
1676
01:50:47,633 --> 01:50:49,200
I've had three different experimentals.
1677
01:50:49,201 --> 01:50:51,836
Emma has spent more time
on me than anyone else.
1678
01:50:51,837 --> 01:50:53,604
And it hasn't done a thing!
1679
01:50:55,841 --> 01:50:57,608
You cannot force the
goddamn sun to come out!
1680
01:50:57,609 --> 01:51:01,446
I am so sick of fighting
1681
01:51:01,447 --> 01:51:03,648
and everybody's stupidity
1682
01:51:03,649 --> 01:51:05,516
and blindness and guilt trips.
1683
01:51:05,517 --> 01:51:07,284
You can't eat the food? Don't eat the food.
1684
01:51:07,285 --> 01:51:10,120
I don't care. Take your
poison, I don't care.
1685
01:51:10,121 --> 01:51:11,722
Fish is good for you.
1686
01:51:11,723 --> 01:51:13,390
Don't want any of that, do we?
1687
01:51:13,391 --> 01:51:15,660
No green salad!
1688
01:51:15,661 --> 01:51:18,429
No broccoli! No vegetables!
1689
01:51:18,430 --> 01:51:20,831
No bread with seven grain!
1690
01:51:20,832 --> 01:51:23,000
Why would anyone ever want any milk?
1691
01:51:23,001 --> 01:51:25,869
You might get some calcium in your bones!
1692
01:51:25,870 --> 01:51:28,172
Do you wanna die, Felix?
1693
01:51:28,173 --> 01:51:29,974
Die!
1694
01:51:56,600 --> 01:51:59,969
Please don't leave me, Felix.
1695
01:52:06,710 --> 01:52:09,745
Keep out! Keep out!
1696
01:52:09,746 --> 01:52:11,346
Keep out! Keep out!
1697
01:52:11,347 --> 01:52:13,015
Keep out! Keep out!
1698
01:52:13,016 --> 01:52:14,683
Keep out! Keep out!
1699
01:52:14,684 --> 01:52:16,451
Keep out! Keep out!
1700
01:52:16,452 --> 01:52:17,987
Keep out! Keep out!
1701
01:52:17,988 --> 01:52:19,622
Keep out! Keep out!
1702
01:52:19,623 --> 01:52:21,189
Keep out! Keep out!
1703
01:52:21,190 --> 01:52:22,757
Keep out! Keep out!
1704
01:52:22,758 --> 01:52:24,426
Keep out! Keep out!
1705
01:52:24,427 --> 01:52:25,860
Keep out! Keep out!
1706
01:52:25,861 --> 01:52:27,529
Keep out! Keep out!
1707
01:52:27,530 --> 01:52:28,963
Keep out! Keep out!
1708
01:52:28,964 --> 01:52:30,598
Keep out! Keep out!
1709
01:52:30,599 --> 01:52:31,966
Keep out! Keep out!
1710
01:52:31,967 --> 01:52:33,468
Keep out! Keep out!
1711
01:52:33,469 --> 01:52:35,003
Keep out!
1712
01:52:35,004 --> 01:52:36,505
Assholes.
1713
01:52:36,506 --> 01:52:39,440
Gay Men's Health Crisis.
1714
01:52:39,441 --> 01:52:41,007
Thrush is a fungus, yes.
1715
01:52:41,008 --> 01:52:42,501
Can you tell him that
we'll be picketing there
1716
01:52:42,502 --> 01:52:44,045
and not afraid of arrest
or police brutality.
1717
01:52:44,046 --> 01:52:45,212
- Gay Men's Health Crisis.
- That's right.
1718
01:52:45,213 --> 01:52:47,582
The mayor has four more
hours before we carry out
1719
01:52:47,583 --> 01:52:49,984
our threats of civil disobedience
if he doesn't meet with us.
1720
01:52:49,985 --> 01:52:52,186
Tommy got the call yesterday, Ned.
1721
01:52:54,790 --> 01:52:57,058
Why didn't you tell me?!
1722
01:52:57,059 --> 01:52:58,792
You see, it works!
1723
01:52:58,793 --> 01:53:02,430
- When? When?
- Only two can go to the meeting, Ned.
1724
01:53:03,865 --> 01:53:05,732
- When?
- Tommy's executive director.
1725
01:53:05,733 --> 01:53:08,902
I'm going.
1726
01:53:08,903 --> 01:53:10,938
- I polled the fucking board, Ned.
- I wrote that letter
1727
01:53:10,939 --> 01:53:12,973
to the mayor. That meeting is mine.
1728
01:53:12,974 --> 01:53:15,842
I am going to go and
represent this organization
1729
01:53:15,843 --> 01:53:18,511
that I have spent every
minute of my life fighting for
1730
01:53:18,512 --> 01:53:20,480
and that was started in my living room
1731
01:53:20,481 --> 01:53:22,348
or I quit.
1732
01:53:28,389 --> 01:53:30,290
You'd let me quit?
1733
01:53:39,567 --> 01:53:41,367
The board asked me to
read this out loud to you.
1734
01:53:41,368 --> 01:53:43,869
- Read what?
- A letter.
1735
01:53:43,870 --> 01:53:45,972
Ahem.
1736
01:53:50,610 --> 01:53:52,611
Go on, read it.
1737
01:53:54,880 --> 01:53:58,116
"We are circulating this
letter widely among people
1738
01:53:58,117 --> 01:54:01,586
of judgment and good sense.
1739
01:54:01,587 --> 01:54:06,324
You are on a colossal
ego trip we must curtail.
1740
01:54:06,325 --> 01:54:09,293
To manipulate fear as
you have done repeatedly
1741
01:54:09,294 --> 01:54:13,131
is to us, sheer barbarism.
1742
01:54:13,132 --> 01:54:15,799
To exploit the deaths of
gay men as you have done
1743
01:54:15,800 --> 01:54:19,203
on television and in
publications all over America
1744
01:54:19,204 --> 01:54:22,740
is to us, an act of vandalism.
1745
01:54:23,775 --> 01:54:27,144
And after years of liberation,
1746
01:54:27,145 --> 01:54:30,748
you helped make sex dirty again for us...
1747
01:54:30,749 --> 01:54:34,317
terrible and forbidden.
1748
01:54:34,318 --> 01:54:37,121
We are more angry at you
1749
01:54:37,122 --> 01:54:40,290
than ever in our lives toward anyone.
1750
01:54:40,291 --> 01:54:44,027
We think you want to lead us all.
1751
01:54:44,028 --> 01:54:45,828
Well...
1752
01:54:45,829 --> 01:54:49,299
we do not want you to lead us.
1753
01:54:52,703 --> 01:54:57,206
In accordance with our bylaws
as drawn up by Weeks, Frankel,
1754
01:54:57,207 --> 01:54:59,142
Levinstein,
1755
01:54:59,143 --> 01:55:01,744
Mr. Ned Weeks is hereby removed
1756
01:55:01,745 --> 01:55:05,548
as a director of Gay Men's Health Crisis.
1757
01:55:05,549 --> 01:55:09,585
We beg that you leave us quietly
1758
01:55:09,586 --> 01:55:13,722
and not destroy us and
what good work we manage
1759
01:55:13,723 --> 01:55:16,358
despite your disapproval.
1760
01:55:16,359 --> 01:55:19,027
Effective immediately."
1761
01:55:41,617 --> 01:55:43,118
Ned.
1762
01:55:43,119 --> 01:55:46,387
The executive director isn't
on the board, you know that.
1763
01:55:46,388 --> 01:55:48,022
I don't have a vote.
1764
01:55:48,023 --> 01:55:49,490
What could...
what could I have done?
1765
01:55:49,491 --> 01:55:51,892
- You didn't support me.
- That's not true.
1766
01:55:51,893 --> 01:55:53,328
You're all nothing but undertakers.
1767
01:55:53,329 --> 01:55:55,062
This whole organization
is a funeral parlor.
1768
01:55:55,063 --> 01:55:57,832
Ned...
- All you do is take care of the dying.
1769
01:55:57,833 --> 01:56:00,101
Who's fighting so the
living can go on living?
1770
01:56:00,102 --> 01:56:02,203
Who's fighting for my Felix?
1771
01:56:02,204 --> 01:56:05,272
Tommy. We need you upstairs.
1772
01:56:10,411 --> 01:56:13,214
I belong to a culture that
includes Marcel Proust,
1773
01:56:13,215 --> 01:56:16,617
Walt Whitman, Tennessee
Williams, Alexander the Great,
1774
01:56:16,618 --> 01:56:19,453
so many popes and cardinals
you wouldn't believe.
1775
01:56:19,454 --> 01:56:22,522
Mr. Green Beret, did you know that
it was an openly gay Englishman
1776
01:56:22,523 --> 01:56:25,158
who's responsible for winning World War II?
1777
01:56:25,159 --> 01:56:28,762
His name's Alan Turing and he
cracked the Germans' Enigma code.
1778
01:56:28,763 --> 01:56:30,664
After the war was over,
he committed suicide
1779
01:56:30,665 --> 01:56:33,667
because he was so hounded for being gay.
1780
01:56:33,668 --> 01:56:36,335
Why didn't they teach
any of that in schools?
1781
01:56:36,336 --> 01:56:40,706
A gay man is responsible
for winning World War II!
1782
01:56:42,009 --> 01:56:43,777
If they did, maybe he
wouldn't have killed himself
1783
01:56:43,778 --> 01:56:47,046
and you wouldn't be so
terrified of who you are.
1784
01:56:50,417 --> 01:56:53,452
That's how I want to be remembered.
1785
01:56:53,453 --> 01:56:55,521
As one of the men who won the war.
1786
01:56:59,459 --> 01:57:03,562
Bruce, I know that I am an asshole.
1787
01:57:03,563 --> 01:57:07,132
But please don't shut me out.
1788
01:57:43,635 --> 01:57:46,070
Go.
1789
01:57:59,951 --> 01:58:02,185
Your brother and I are lovers.
1790
01:58:03,888 --> 01:58:06,590
I'm dying and I need to make a will.
1791
01:58:09,126 --> 01:58:11,194
- Please.
- Thank you.
1792
01:58:24,641 --> 01:58:27,978
I want to leave everything to Ned.
1793
01:58:30,647 --> 01:58:34,984
- How's my brother?
- Well, he blames himself for everything
1794
01:58:34,985 --> 01:58:39,989
from my dying to the
state of the entire world.
1795
01:58:39,990 --> 01:58:43,359
All that plus you two still not talking.
1796
01:58:45,863 --> 01:58:48,364
You must be as stubborn as he is.
1797
01:58:50,433 --> 01:58:52,134
I'll call him right away.
1798
01:58:52,135 --> 01:58:55,304
Do. He's at home packing.
1799
01:58:55,305 --> 01:58:58,874
We're going to Yale in a few days.
1800
01:58:58,875 --> 01:59:01,977
For Gay Week.
1801
01:59:01,978 --> 01:59:03,812
He says he can't believe it.
1802
01:59:05,981 --> 01:59:09,117
He tried to kill himself
there when he was a freshman.
1803
01:59:13,923 --> 01:59:16,491
I haven't much...
1804
01:59:18,260 --> 01:59:20,862
except for a beautiful piece of land
1805
01:59:20,863 --> 01:59:23,764
on the Cape in Wellfleet.
1806
01:59:25,100 --> 01:59:27,668
Ned doesn't know about it.
1807
01:59:27,669 --> 01:59:29,603
It was to have been a surprise
1808
01:59:29,604 --> 01:59:31,940
for when we lived there together
1809
01:59:31,941 --> 01:59:36,144
or riding away happily ever after.
1810
01:59:36,145 --> 01:59:39,547
I also have an insurance policy,
1811
01:59:39,548 --> 01:59:42,850
uh... with the "Times." I'm a reporter...
1812
01:59:42,851 --> 01:59:44,585
for "The New York Times."
1813
01:59:44,586 --> 01:59:48,456
It's meant to come to my next of kin.
1814
01:59:48,457 --> 01:59:50,090
I'm afraid they might not give it to him.
1815
01:59:50,091 --> 01:59:52,225
Well, if he's listed as
a beneficiary, they must.
1816
01:59:52,226 --> 01:59:54,661
You're smarter than
that. Don't be so naive.
1817
01:59:54,662 --> 01:59:58,398
I assure you, I will fight
to make sure that they do.
1818
02:00:01,635 --> 02:00:05,005
I was hoping you'd say that.
1819
02:00:12,279 --> 02:00:14,313
Felix...
1820
02:00:16,116 --> 02:00:18,718
I wish we'd met sooner.
1821
02:01:14,689 --> 02:01:16,779
I should be wearing something
1822
02:01:16,780 --> 02:01:19,028
You are, honey.
1823
02:01:19,778 --> 02:01:21,812
It should... it should be something
1824
02:01:21,813 --> 02:01:27,217
Perry Ellis ran up for me personally.
1825
02:01:34,092 --> 02:01:36,226
Ned?
1826
02:01:40,731 --> 02:01:43,567
You find a way to fight again.
1827
02:01:45,403 --> 02:01:47,404
I will.
1828
02:01:52,142 --> 02:01:55,478
Hey, hey, hey.
1829
02:01:55,479 --> 02:01:57,681
Hey.
1830
02:02:05,890 --> 02:02:08,657
Emma. Emma...?
1831
02:02:08,658 --> 02:02:12,395
Could we... could we start now, please?
1832
02:02:18,969 --> 02:02:21,437
Ahem.
1833
02:02:21,438 --> 02:02:24,339
"We are gathered here in the sight of God
1834
02:02:24,340 --> 02:02:27,542
to join together these two men.
1835
02:02:27,543 --> 02:02:29,778
They love each other
1836
02:02:29,779 --> 02:02:31,981
very much and...
1837
02:02:31,982 --> 02:02:35,150
want to be married in the
presence of their family
1838
02:02:35,151 --> 02:02:37,152
and friends.
1839
02:02:40,256 --> 02:02:43,592
I see no objection.
1840
02:02:43,593 --> 02:02:45,827
Do you, Felix Turner,
1841
02:02:45,828 --> 02:02:50,365
- take Ned Weeks..."
- Alexander. Yeah.
1842
02:02:53,469 --> 02:02:58,873
- "To be your..."
- My great true love.
1843
02:03:04,479 --> 02:03:06,948
I do.
1844
02:03:09,985 --> 02:03:13,487
I do. I do.
1845
02:03:14,889 --> 02:03:16,857
I do.
1846
02:03:16,858 --> 02:03:18,459
I do.
1847
02:03:18,460 --> 02:03:21,595
I do. I do.
1848
02:03:49,890 --> 02:03:52,191
This is Tommy.
1849
02:03:59,566 --> 02:04:02,434
Thanks for letting me know.
1850
