1:07:01
Three weeks?
That's how long you've known?

1:07:05
Twenty-four days.
1:07:06
That's nothing.
1:07:09
No wonder you're acting
the way you are.

1:07:10
You're in shock
over finding out.

1:07:12
-I'm in shock?
-Yes, you're in shock.

1:07:14
And you're reacting with an anger
that anybody would have...

1:07:17
but most people
wouldn't take it this far.

1:07:19
You gotta think about this. Just
take the time to think about this.

1:07:23
This won't accomplish anything.
This is nobody's fault.

1:07:27
And later on and I still feel this way,
you'll have no trouble coming back?

1:07:30
You don't realize here
you're in deep trauma.

1:07:33
Trauma? I thought I was in shock.
This gets worse by the minute.

1:07:36
Look, I realize you're upset.
1:07:37
But you've got to put
some perspective on this.

1:07:39
Perspective...
1:07:41
People with HIV
lead happy, healthy lives.

1:07:45
It's not a death sentence
anymore.

1:07:47
You don't have AIDS, Tom.
You are HIV-positive.

1:07:50
There's a difference.
Do you know the difference?

1:07:52
For someone who just had
a negative HIVtest...

1:07:54
you seem overly concerned.
1:07:56
I'm not gonna lie to you, I'm
gonna get the fuck out of here.

1:07:58
What are you gonna do to yourself
when I walk out that door?

1:08:01
Thank you for the concern,
but at twenty-four days...

1:08:03
this is how I feel and
nothing's gonna change that.

1:08:10
Why did you pick me
that night?

1:08:14
Why'd you let that night
ever happen?

1:08:28
I have just one life.
1:08:30
I chose one set of
feelings over another.

1:08:32
And denied part of yourself.
1:08:35
I denied a part of myself so
I could keep the most important.

1:08:38
And what was that?
1:08:40
Your tough guy image,
your neighborhood pals?

1:08:43
My wife.
1:08:46
You said
you weren't married.

1:08:50
High school sweethearts.
1:08:53
Does she know?
1:08:54
Know what?
That I was with you?

1:08:56
The only time I was ever
unfaithful was with a man?

1:08:59
That I'm HIV-positive?
I don't know.
