- Gloria,
c'mon,
you there?

- Just keep your distance
Close the door.

But I'm not infectious, I'm absolutely not
You're perfectly safe,
but I need milk and bread and food and stuff.
I've wrote a list,
it's there with my card.
If you could just go shopping and bring it back for me.
- Okay. But I'm not doing anything
until you tell me what's wrong.
- They said it was Tuberculosis.
- Oh my god, that's infectious.
You let me walk inside!
- No but it stopped. I'm getting better.
I had this cough and it stopped.
Look at me, am I coughing?
No, I'm a lot better than I was.
- So what did the doctor say?
- They took me to the hospital,
and they gave me this questionnaire
and I was like, what's this for?
They said, it's for people like you,
(coughing)
and asked about, you know,
medical history, and place of birth
and it said sexual preference.
And then it said, it said,
there was a question that said,
have you ever had sex with animals?
- What?
- [Man] Have you ever had sex with animals?
- I don't understand
- It said in the questionnaire
Have you ever had sex with animals?
- [Woman] But why?
- They don't think that it's Tuberculosis
- [Woman] Then what is it?
(crying)
- What do you think it is?
What do you think it is?
(crying)
(people yelling)
(dogs barking)
[Man] But I'm getting better
and you don't get better from AIDS, do you?
- I don't know
- Well you don't, you die, and I'm getting better.
They say that AIDS is a cancer,
and I haven't got cancer.
- But the I and the D stand for immune deficiency,
and that could be Tuberculosis. Is that right?
- But caused by cancer.
The deficiency harms when you get cancer,
doesn't it?
- Does it?
- [Man] I don't know.
- I don't think anyone knows.
And what's it got to do with animals?
- I don't know.
Someone told me this story.
There was a production of seven brides
for seven brothers in Chicago
and all seven brothers are dead.
- Is that true?
- I just liked the idea of seven brothers
(beep)
each other.
- The point is, they let you go home.
So you can't be that bad.
- I discharged myself.
- Oh
- But they didn't try to stop me.
So how infectious is that?
All I'm gonna do is keep getting better.
They gave me the drugs
and I've got a letter
saying it's Tuberculosis,
so that means I can have four weeks off work.
If I can use those four weeks to get better
and shake it off, then I'll be fine.
If you help me.
- What do you want me to do?
- Just this, just shop and things.
You could pop in at work
and get my sick pay
You can leave things in the table.
You don't have to come anywhere near me, just in case.
But,
please don't tell anyone.
- We could all help though.
- I'll get sacked.
If word gets out, they sack people for being gay,
never mind AIDS.
- [Woman] Let me tell Roscoe, he's your mate.
- Roscoe talks.
He talks and talks and talks.
And I don't want anyone to know, because I'm not...
- Not what?
(people talking)
(sirens playing)
- A slut.
- Okay
