If you can't beat 'em,

Craig was miserable
when you weren't interested.
37

Now look, he's got Robert Redford.
38
00:02:47,585 --> 00:02:48,753
It shows you there is a god.

Oh, John! No, I'm with Gregory now.

Fifteen... That's a long time for you, Mickey.
44
00:03:01,641 --> 00:03:06,020
Oh, please! We're lovers and we live together.
It's not like we're faithful to each other, too.
45
00:03:06,104 --> 00:03:07,522
He's not even Jewish.
46

You made us look terrible in your novel.
53

Look around you. Sex is liberating.
54
00:03:28,835 --> 00:03:32,463
NED: All I said was having so much sex
makes finding love impossible.
55
00:03:32,547 --> 00:03:35,883
Do not put your failure to find someone
on the rest of us.

- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.
64

I just got a little light-headed.
I got myself up. I'm fine.
65

I sold you a ceramic pig once
at Maison France on Bleecker Street.

I'm Sanford.

Yes, I remember.

Somebody I was friends with then
collected pigs
90

I'd ever seen outside a real pig.

- BROOKNER: Who are you?
99
00:08:14,036 --> 00:08:16,914
Uh, Ned Weeks.
I spoke to you after The Times article.
100
00:08:19,208 --> 00:08:20,459
Come in. Take your clothes off.
101
00:08:21,043 --> 00:08:22,670
I only came to ask some questions.
102
00:08:26,507 --> 00:08:28,759
- You are gay, aren't you?
- Yes.
103
00:08:30,136 --> 00:08:34,265
Take your clothes off. Don't be nervous.
I've seen more men than you have.
104
00:08:38,394 --> 00:08:40,595
BROOKNER: To answer all of your questions,
I don't know.
105
00:08:40,646 --> 00:08:44,191
I've never seen or heard of anything like this.
106
00:08:44,275 --> 00:08:45,901
Have you had any of the symptoms?
107
00:08:46,318 --> 00:08:49,780
Most of the shit The Times said,
amoebas, gonorrhea, hepatitis.
108
00:08:50,114 --> 00:08:52,594
You don't know what it's been like
since the sexual revolution.
109
00:08:52,616 --> 00:08:54,744
What makes you think I don't?
110
00:08:54,827 --> 00:08:57,538
Any fever, night sweats, weight loss?
111
00:08:57,621 --> 00:08:58,914
Don't I wish.
112
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,082
No.
113
00:09:00,875 --> 00:09:03,419
And purple lesions? Open your mouth.
114
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,422
It's a cancer.
115
00:09:06,630 --> 00:09:09,425
There's a strange reaction
in the immune system.
116
00:09:09,508 --> 00:09:10,634
It's collapsed.
117
00:09:10,718 --> 00:09:13,763
Won't fight, so the diseases
most of my patients are coming down with
118
00:09:14,722 --> 00:09:16,682
are brought on by germs
that wouldn't hurt a baby.
119
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:19,393
Ticklish.
120
00:09:19,477 --> 00:09:21,278
At least not a baby in New York City, anyway.
121
00:09:21,645 --> 00:09:24,398
I mean, the immune system
is the system we know the least about.
122
00:09:28,319 --> 00:09:30,780
So where's this big mouth I hear you've got?
123
00:09:30,863 --> 00:09:31,989
Is big mouth a symptom?
124
00:09:32,656 --> 00:09:34,241
No. It's a cure.
125
00:09:34,950 --> 00:09:37,661
This seems to only be happening to gay men.
126
00:09:37,745 --> 00:09:40,206
Buzzy says you are well-known
in the gay community
127

- I can't find any gay leaders,
129
00:09:46,253 --> 00:09:48,798
and I call gay organizations,
no one ever calls me back.
130
00:09:48,881 --> 00:09:52,384
Dr. Brookner, no one with half a brain
gets involved with gay politics.
131
00:09:52,468 --> 00:09:54,804
- There's no room for criticism.
- What's your criticism?
132
00:09:54,887 --> 00:09:58,182
I hate that we play victim when many of us,
most of us don't have to.
133
00:09:58,265 --> 00:10:00,101
Then you're exactly what's needed now.
134
00:10:00,184 --> 00:10:01,602
Maybe they're just waiting for someone
to lead them.
135
00:10:01,852 --> 00:10:03,187
I don't want to lead them.
136
00:10:03,395 --> 00:10:06,273
What exactly are you trying to get me to do?
137
00:10:06,357 --> 00:10:08,275
Tell gay men to stop having sex.
138
00:10:10,903 --> 00:10:13,114
Do you think that this cancer
is sexually transmitted?
139
00:10:13,572 --> 00:10:15,449
I think it is, yes.
140
00:10:15,533 --> 00:10:17,493
Can I prove it yet? No.
141
00:10:19,703 --> 00:10:23,082
Do you realize that you're talking about
millions of men
142
00:10:23,165 --> 00:10:27,586
who have singled out promiscuity
as their principal political agenda?
143
00:10:28,045 --> 00:10:29,421
How do you deal with that?
144
00:10:29,505 --> 00:10:30,798
Tell them they may die.
145
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:33,884

- Down the hall! Down the hall!

147

It's more complicated than that.
148
00:10:37,388 --> 00:10:38,931
They think sex is all they have.
149
00:10:39,014 --> 00:10:40,850
Mr. Weeks, if having sex can kill you,
150
00:10:40,933 --> 00:10:43,519
doesn't anyone with half a brain
stop fucking?
151
00:10:47,731 --> 00:10:50,109
You can go.

always smiling at me.

what I deemed to be a suitable moment,
488
00:32:22,817 --> 00:32:24,777
because I'd been communicating
with it down there,

to put it.

How do you know?
1022
01:04:54,892 --> 01:04:58,354
Because my mother ran the local chapter of
the Red Cross, and she put me to work

in the blood mobile when I was eight.

Ned, I have something to tell you.

You never told me that.
1030

Yeah, I...
1031
01:05:25,589 --> 01:05:29,093
She said I had been unfair to her,
which I had been.
1032
01:05:31,846 --> 01:05:32,888
I have a son.
1033

You have a son?
1034
01:05:35,516 --> 01:05:36,559
She won't let me see him.
1035

You can't see your own son?
1036
01:05:39,145 --> 01:05:40,771
But didn't you fight?
1037
01:05:41,856 --> 01:05:44,066
That means you're ashamed,
so he will be, too.

This is why I didn't tell you.
Who says I didn't fight, Ned?

Well, what happens to people who can't be
as strong as you want them to be?

My father was weak
and I'm afraid I'll be like him.

His life didn't stand for anything
and then it was over!

I was five years old.

A woman from the Bahamas came to our town
carrying the polio virus.

I was all dressed up in my Halloween

and my mother felt my forehead,
put me to bed.
