Who wants to comeCopy !req
5. to the most remote
part of New York?Copy !req
6. You'd think people would come
to pay their respects.Copy !req
7. Out of sight, out of mind.Copy !req
8. I'm tired.Copy !req
9. I've been to three funerals
this week.Copy !req
10. Three. Where's the cure?Copy !req
11. Look, we got to keep it
together today, Pray.Copy !req
12. We got a long day ahead of us.Copy !req
13. I know.Copy !req
14. I'm sorry, I just...Copy !req
15. It upsets me.Copy !req
16. His name is... was Keenan.Copy !req
17. Keenan Howard.Copy !req
18. I'm here to see...
his burial site.Copy !req
19. He's a relation of yours?Copy !req
20. Not exactly.Copy !req
21. We dated, we broke up.
Listen.Copy !req
22. He died of pneumoniaCopy !req
23. - and I was told
he was buried here.
- Here's the thing.Copy !req
24. Names don't matter here.Copy !req
25. Just a bunch of pine boxes
in a ditch.Copy !req
26. - So no headstones?
- Welcome to Hart Island.Copy !req
27. Just a mass grave
of people whose familiesCopy !req
28. couldn't afford a burialCopy !req
29. or unclaimed bodies
from the morgue.Copy !req
30. Infants are out back
in Potter's Field.Copy !req
31. We quarantine the ones
that died of AIDS,Copy !req
32. don't want them infecting
anyone else, you know.Copy !req
33. But they're already dead.Copy !req
34. Sweetie, we don't know
how this thing is spread.Copy !req
35. Come on, Pray.Copy !req
36. How did Keenan end up here?Copy !req
37. - I thought he had family.
- No.Copy !req
38. Orphaned just like
the rest of us.Copy !req
39. After we broke up,
I heard that he had gotten sickCopy !req
40. and I tried to reach out.Copy !req
41. But I think that he...Copy !req
42. he was embarrassed...Copy !req
43. about getting sick.Copy !req
44. He died alone.Copy !req
45. In that tiny studio apartment.Copy !req
46. In the dead of summer.Copy !req
47. Three weeks before
anybody found him.Copy !req
48. Was lying in the heat
for so long,Copy !req
49. - I heard that his body just
melted into the mattress.
- Mm-mmm, mm-mmm.Copy !req
50. I'm not settling
for this, Pray.Copy !req
51. We got to do something.Copy !req
52. - Right?
- Yeah.Copy !req
53. Only way this isn't
gonna be our realityCopy !req
54. is if we help each other.Copy !req
55. 'Cause they sure as hell
aren't gonna do anything. Trust.Copy !req
56. There it is.Copy !req
57. Judy told me about this place
and I didn't believe her.Copy !req
58. She... she said this islandCopy !req
59. used to be a tuberculosis ward.Copy !req
60. Now it's a burial site.Copy !req
61. Each one of these
heart-shaped rocksCopy !req
62. represents someone buried here,Copy !req
63. left by someone left behind.Copy !req
64. So, what now?Copy !req
65. We pray.Copy !req
66. We pray for strength...Copy !req
67. to keep fighting.Copy !req
68. Yeah.Copy !req
69. The category is...Copy !req
70. Live...Copy !req
71. Work...Copy !req
72. Pose!Copy !req
73. - Hi, Blanca.
You want to come in?
- Hi. Yeah.Copy !req
74. Yeah.Copy !req
75. This place is like the Taj Mahal
compared to St. Vincent's.Copy !req
76. You know they had me
on a six-weekCopy !req
77. waiting list just to get
a doctor to read my labs.Copy !req
78. By the way, thank you for
squeezing me in like this.Copy !req
79. Anything for family, kid.Copy !req
80. So, what does it say?Copy !req
81. I tried reading my labs
when I picked it up,Copy !req
82. but... it all looked like
Klingon to me.Copy !req
83. Well, your red blood cells
are good.Copy !req
84. - I'm just checking out
your CD4s.
- See?Copy !req
85. There you go again
speaking that Klingon.Copy !req
86. English, please?Copy !req
87. CD4s, or T-cells,
are what we want a lot of.Copy !req
88. So... how many I gots?Copy !req
89. 'Cause I know I got a lot.Copy !req
90. I stopped drinking,Copy !req
91. I take my Flintstone vitamins
every day.Copy !req
92. Well, sometimes being healthy
isn't enough for this virus.Copy !req
93. Your T-cells have fallen
bellow 200.Copy !req
94. What's...
So? What's that mean?Copy !req
95. It means we have to start
monitoring you once a monthCopy !req
96. instead of every three months.Copy !req
97. And we have to move your
diagnosis of being HIV-positiveCopy !req
98. to having AIDS.Copy !req
99. What?Copy !req
100. S...Copy !req
101. So I have AIDS now?Copy !req
102. Well, it's-it's just a number.Copy !req
103. It's a way of flagging
how much care a patient needs.Copy !req
104. Nah, I've been feeling fine.Copy !req
105. I've been feeling
amazing, actually.Copy !req
106. Last winter,
when my kids got sick,Copy !req
107. I didn't have a sniffle at all.Copy !req
108. I mean, sometimes you can't tell
what HIV is doingCopy !req
109. - to your immune system.
- So I'm dying.Copy !req
110. No.
You're not dying.Copy !req
111. You still have plenty
of T-cells to fight with,Copy !req
112. but we can't let those numbers
drop any lower.Copy !req
113. So what do I do?Copy !req
114. It ain't no cure for this thing.Copy !req
115. Not yet.Copy !req
116. But there is this.Copy !req
117. AZT. It helps slow
the progression of the virusCopy !req
118. - and it's all we've got.
- Ain't that stuff for rich folk?Copy !req
119. Well, pharmaceutical companies
are in the businessCopy !req
120. of making a profit,
but there are folksCopy !req
121. in our community who care
about the less fortunate.Copy !req
122. And they're the ones who can
get us this shit for free.Copy !req
123. When the wealthy white queens
and their friends knowCopy !req
124. that the end is coming close,
they call us.Copy !req
125. It's the same thing every time.Copy !req
126. We pay our respects.Copy !req
127. We say our goodbyes.Copy !req
128. And then we collect
the leftover meds.Copy !req
129. Their dying wishes
are to make sure that the griefCopy !req
130. isn't the only thing
they're leaving behind.Copy !req
131. Some of them
just have antibiotics.Copy !req
132. But the rich ones
always have AZT.Copy !req
133. Pray Tell told me aboutCopy !req
134. a friend of his
who was on these meds.Copy !req
135. He said it was
as toxic as chemo.Copy !req
136. And once he got on 'em,
his body completely gave out.Copy !req
137. Blanca, I'm gonna
be straight with youCopy !req
138. because you need to hear this.Copy !req
139. You're in denial of what HIV
is doing to your body.Copy !req
140. If you don't do something
about it soon, you'reCopy !req
141. - gonna be dead in six months.
- No.Copy !req
142. Listen, they're working on
new drugs every day.Copy !req
143. You just got to stay alive
long enoughCopy !req
144. for something better
to come along.Copy !req
145. You know...Copy !req
146. it's moments like these
that make your lifeCopy !req
147. flash right before you.Copy !req
148. Crazy thing is,
it's... not my lifeCopy !req
149. I'm seeing right now,
it's my kids.Copy !req
150. It's my kids.Copy !req
151. Everything in this life is
set up to work against them.Copy !req
152. There is stillCopy !req
153. so much in their lives
that I have to fix.Copy !req
154. We have a saying around here:Copy !req
155. either get busy living,Copy !req
156. or you get busy dying.Copy !req
157. And you've got a lot
to live for.Copy !req
158. Darling.Copy !req
159. That one's gonna be good.Copy !req
160. Yeah.Copy !req
161. - Hey, can you do me a favor?
Stop.Copy !req
162. Just look this way.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.Copy !req
163. Right there, right there.
Give me that smile.Copy !req
164. That one's great, actually.Copy !req
165. Um... yeah.Copy !req
166. Oh, shit.Copy !req
167. Y'all hear that?Copy !req
168. That's the new Madonna single.Copy !req
169. It's been on constant repeat
on Z100.Copy !req
170. - It's gonna be the song
of the summer.Copy !req
171. The most famous woman in
the world signing about us.Copy !req
172. - Mm!
- Strike a pose.Copy !req
173. The category is...Copy !req
174. Runway...Copy !req
175. Mo-del...Copy !req
176. - Effect.Copy !req
177. Everything is about to change.Copy !req
178. I can see it as clear as day.Copy !req
179. Well, your vision must be cloudyCopy !req
180. 'cause ain't shit about
to change for our black asses.Copy !req
181. Madonna is shining a bright
spotlight on us, girl.Copy !req
182. - We've been underground
for how long?Copy !req
183. About 20 years.
Since Crystal LaBeija lostCopy !req
184. one too many titles
to white girls.Copy !req
185. Ha-ha! Yes, baby!Copy !req
186. Let us have it.Copy !req
187. These walks

197. gorgeousness...Copy !req
198. and raw talent?Copy !req
199. I mean, look.Copy !req

206. with her spotlight, the
Evangelistas are gonna be ready.Copy !req

218. Hey, baby.Copy !req
219. Girl, what are you doing
out here?Copy !req
220. We talked about this.Copy !req
221. You said you wasn't gonna
walk the piers no more.Copy !req
222. - There are more options
out there.
- Like what?Copy !req
223. Mopping floors
and waiting tables? No.Copy !req
224. No, thanks.
I like being my own boss.Copy !req
225. Well, I got a plan.Copy !req
226. Get in.Copy !req
227. Just tell me where we're going.Copy !req
228. I was at work
and I was flipping throughCopy !req
229. Elle magazine while I was
on my lunch break and...Copy !req
230. I saw this advertisement
for a modeling contest.Copy !req
231. Do you see her?Copy !req
232. Yes.Copy !req
233. I'm not the face
they're looking for.Copy !req
234. - I ain't no model.
- Yes, you are.Copy !req
235. Look at these.Copy !req
236. That's just me and Lil Papi
playing around.Copy !req
237. Do you see what I see?Copy !req
238. These photos prove
you got the look.Copy !req
239. You've got a light
that shines so brightCopy !req
240. right inside of you,Copy !req
241. and I just wish
you could see it. Plus,Copy !req
242. we about to go mainstream
with this Madonna song.Copy !req
243. Mainstream?Copy !req
244. - Yeah, until they find out
who I really am.
- Oh, girl.Copy !req
245. All we need to get
is our foot into the door.Copy !req
246. This song is our ticket
to acceptance.Copy !req
247. Once they see
that you're in the ball,Copy !req
248. they won't even turn you away.Copy !req
249. Sing, sister Lulu.Copy !req
250. Girl, who the hell chose
those tacky-ass flowers?Copy !req
251. All these candles
and flaming homos,Copy !req
252. surprised God don't
burn this bitch to the ground.Copy !req
253. Funerals are bullshit.Copy !req
254. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
255. I want a head countCopy !req
256. of exactly how many people
love me before I die.Copy !req
257. - Mm.
- And I want a chanceCopy !req
258. to defend myself,
in case anyone even tryCopy !req
259. to tarnish my good name.Copy !req
260. What's the point of spending
all that money on a corpse?Copy !req
261. Give me my damn flowers
when I can smell them.Copy !req
262. And give me a chance to read
all these bitchesCopy !req
263. before I'm put in the
motherfucking ground.Copy !req
264. Y'all are some hard-hearted hos.Copy !req
265. Show some damn respect.Copy !req
266. Well, she's on CP time tonight.Copy !req
267. He's not going anywhere.Copy !req
268. What's your head count?
This is my 452nd memorial.Copy !req
269. Two hundred and ten.Copy !req
270. First one to get to a thousand
gets a free toaster.Copy !req
271. Look at these unquenchable hos
thirsting for dick.Copy !req
272. Since when did funerals become
the new cruising spot?Copy !req
273. Oh, she's found morality.Copy !req
274. Come on.Copy !req
275. Let's pay our respects.Copy !req
276. Interesting choice.Copy !req
277. Why is he dressed like
a flamenco dancer?Copy !req
278. I can get over the outfit,
but that makeup is terrible.Copy !req
279. Joe always preferred
a nude matte lip.Copy !req
280. Well, red is a tough color.Copy !req
281. Only tramps can pull it off.
Shocking you never could.Copy !req
282. Oh...Copy !req
283. He was so young.Copy !req
284. Just barely started living.Copy !req
285. I don't know how much more
of this I can take.Copy !req
286. - 790, until you get
your toaster.Copy !req
287. I need a drink.
You coming with me to the diner?Copy !req
288. Not tonight. I've got someplace
to be and you're coming with me.Copy !req
289. Where are you taking me?Copy !req
290. - I'm hungry.Copy !req
291. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.Copy !req
292. My black ass does not need
to join your groupCopy !req
293. of preppy white queens
and ill-fitted Gap chinosCopy !req
294. who have never had to fight for
a goddamn thing in their lives.Copy !req
295. Act up! Fight back!
- Listen, there are dikes, too,Copy !req
296. running these meetings,
of all shades.Copy !req
297. Pray, you've got to
put your pain to good use,Copy !req
298. or I swear to God,
it will eat you alive.Copy !req
299. Fight back! Fight AIDS!Copy !req
300. Act up! Fight back!
Fight AIDS!Copy !req
301. Act up!
Fight back! Fight AIDS!Copy !req
302. Act up! Fight back!
Fight AIDS!Copy !req
303. Act up!
Fight back! Fight AIDS!Copy !req
304. Welcome to your first
Act Up meeting.Copy !req
305. Fight AIDS! Act up!Copy !req
306. Ah, well, I was beginning to
think Miss Wanda didn't exist.Copy !req
307. I'm not the going out type.Copy !req
308. I've got other things
on my mind.Copy !req
309. - I told you she was hot.Copy !req
310. - Act up! Fight back! Fight AIDS!
All right.Copy !req
311. - All right.Copy !req
312. Listen up, folks.Copy !req
313. Last week's fund-raiser
brought inCopy !req
314. $650,000.Copy !req
315. And... and now that
we finally have the cashCopy !req
316. to meet our momentum,
this Sunday's protestCopy !req
317. up at St. Patrick's CathedralCopy !req
318. is an even more crucial stepCopy !req
319. in starting a global
conversation around HIVCopy !req
320. and AIDS.Copy !req
321. The Catholic Church has spentCopy !req
322. millions of dollars putting
the false message into the worldCopy !req
323. that condoms don't work and that
abstinence is the only wayCopy !req
324. - to fight HIV. That is a lie.Copy !req
325. And that is morally wrong.Copy !req
326. So, we're staging a die-inCopy !req
327. in the middle
of that congregationCopy !req
328. as a peaceful protest
against the annihilationCopy !req
329. - of our community!
- Yes!Copy !req
330. Cardinal John O'Connor has said,Copy !req
331. "Good morality
is good medicine."Copy !req
332. He might as well say,
"Let them get AIDS."Copy !req
333. And it's not just
the board of educationCopy !req
334. or the city councilCopy !req
335. that Cardinal O'Connor
is influencing, no.Copy !req
336. He has a direct line
to the Pope himself.Copy !req
337. We will not allow his racist,Copy !req
338. sexist, homophobic ideologies
to affect the healthCopy !req
339. of every single person
on this planet!Copy !req
340. Act up! Fight back!Copy !req
341. Fight AIDS!Copy !req
342. Act up! Fight back!
Fight AIDS!Copy !req
343. Act up!
Fight back! Fight AIDS!Copy !req
344. - Yes. Yes. Yes.
- Act up! Fight back! Fight AIDS!Copy !req
345. Act up! Fight back!
Fight AIDS!Copy !req
346. Act up!
Fight back! Fight AIDS!Copy !req
347. Act up! Fight back!
Fight AIDS!Copy !req
348. Damn, all these girls
look the same.Copy !req
349. - Nothing at all like me.
- Girl, stop comparing yourself.Copy !req
350. You are an original,
a star of ballroom.Copy !req
351. I got to ask you
something serious.Copy !req
352. You think I pass?Copy !req
353. Hmm. With the best of them.Copy !req
354. None of these girls can
hold a candle to you.Copy !req
355. Angel, you're the prettiest
thing I've ever seen.Copy !req
356. You Dominicans
got a slick tongue.Copy !req
357. - Come on.Copy !req
358. We need to sign you in.Copy !req
359. This your first time?Copy !req
360. - Don't be nervous.
- I'm not.Copy !req
361. Well, I was in your same spot
three years ago,Copy !req
362. and I was scared as hell.Copy !req
363. I thought my skin
and frizzy hairCopy !req
364. wouldn't get me
past the open call,Copy !req
365. but those things actually
made me stand out.Copy !req
366. You're gonna be the face
of 1990, girl. Watch.Copy !req
367. Okay, now hurry up
and fill this out.Copy !req
368. And don't forget to mention
that you can VogueCopy !req
369. - in the special skills section.
- Oh, that's right.Copy !req
370. Duh.Copy !req
371. Come on, let's go.Copy !req
372. Blanca, you can't
leave me here like this.Copy !req
373. Girl, if I walk into that room,
you know the jig is up.Copy !req
374. - You must do this
on your own, Angel.Copy !req
375. You got this, you can do this.Copy !req
376. Just be yourself.Copy !req
377. Just be yourself.Copy !req
378. So, what have we here?Copy !req
379. Angel. 22.Copy !req
380. - Mm-hmm.
- The Bronx.Copy !req
381. You used an instant camera.Copy !req
382. Yes. I did.Copy !req
383. Hmm.Copy !req
384. Impressive.Copy !req
385. But if you want to be
a professional,Copy !req
386. you need a professional
to capture you.Copy !req
387. That sounds like
that costs money.Copy !req
388. I don't have a job right now,
that's why I'm hereCopy !req
389. talking to you.Copy !req
390. Every model must pay her duesCopy !req
391. before she gets paid herself.Copy !req
392. It's an investment
in your future.Copy !req
393. - So, you can Vogue.
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
394. - Like the new song?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
395. I like that.Copy !req
396. Here's a photographer I know.Copy !req
397. Tell him I sent you.Copy !req
398. He'll give you my discount.Copy !req
399. Bring the new photographs
to me...Copy !req
400. for the semi-finals.Copy !req
401. I did it.
I made it to the next round.Copy !req
402. - Ah!
- I knew it. I knew it!Copy !req
403. Did you put oregano in my sauce?Copy !req
404. Your sauce? It's Ragú.Copy !req
405. This shit came out of a jar,
bitch. Relax.Copy !req
406. - What's so funny, Cubby?Copy !req
407. What's wrong with oregano?
I thought it was healthyCopy !req
408. to eat more green vegetables.Copy !req
409. Oregano is a herb,
not a vegetable, darling boy.Copy !req
410. Who is educating these children
on their nutrition?Copy !req
411. And when is your man
coming home?Copy !req
412. Well, darling sir, the
Al B. Sure tour is almost over.Copy !req
413. He told me he would be home
next week.Copy !req
414. I'm so excited,
I can't even sleep.Copy !req
415. Oh, no. Please don't go planning
no romantic reunion dinnerCopy !req
416. at Roy Rogers or nothing.
If he's back in town,Copy !req
417. then he's back under my roof,Copy !req
418. and Friday family dinner
is mandatory.Copy !req
419. Yeah, unless you're glued
to the MTVCopy !req
420. waiting for your favorite song
to come on.Copy !req
421. Uh-uh. That ain't
recreation, girl.Copy !req
422. They play that Madonna
"Vogue" video once an hour.Copy !req
423. I need to study it
and I ain't got no VCR.Copy !req
424. Listen, y'all are just
not getting it.Copy !req
425. We are on the cusp
of a revolution.Copy !req
426. We've been doing those dance
moves in that video for years.Copy !req
427. That's our culture on MTV.
We about to go mainstream.Copy !req
428. Yes. Just like when
all those suburban kidsCopy !req
429. started singing "Y.M.C.A."
and the leather barsCopy !req
430. in The Castro went mainstream.Copy !req
431. - This is different.Copy !req
432. We're talking about Madonna.Copy !req
433. Something is happening,
I can feel it.Copy !req
434. Yeah. That's the same shit
they saidCopy !req
435. about disco.Copy !req
436. Studio 54 stayed open
for three years,Copy !req
437. and when the Man shut it down,Copy !req
438. all those angry black
and homo-hating white boys—Copy !req
439. they took their disco records
to the baseball stadiumCopy !req
440. and blew 'em up.Copy !req
441. Every generationCopy !req
442. thinks that
they're gonna be the onesCopy !req
443. that are finally
invited to the party.Copy !req
444. - Put your glass slippers away,Copy !req
445. Trans-erella. It ain't never
gonna happen.Copy !req
446. Really?
Angel, will youCopy !req
447. - tell them your news?
Mm-hmm. Blanca made meCopy !req
448. audition for the Fresh Faces
modeling competition.Copy !req
449. And she made the semi-finals,
too. What's good?Copy !req
450. - Why you got to
steal my thunder?Copy !req
451. Our girl's a star.Copy !req
452. Don't get all crazy yet.Copy !req
453. The modeling woman said
I need professional headshots,Copy !req
454. - and those "costeses" money.
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
455. And you next, Damon.Copy !req
456. No more Saturdays sitting
around the house,Copy !req
457. reading dirty magazines.Copy !req
458. From 3:00 until 5:00,
you're gonna be teachingCopy !req
459. a Voguing class
down at the YMCA.Copy !req
460. - They don't have
a Voguing class.
- Well, they do now.Copy !req
461. I told them if they
put up a sign-up sheet,Copy !req
462. more people would come.Copy !req
463. They got six people already and
the numbers are going to grow.Copy !req
464. Y'all need to trust
this mother's intuition.Copy !req
465. Y'all are whistling
past the graveyard.Copy !req
466. Really?Copy !req
467. 'Cause I heard the other emceesCopy !req
468. talking about how Sue Simmons
from Live at FiveCopy !req
469. wants to interview you
about the scene.Copy !req
470. It's not a scene.
It's our lives.Copy !req
471. Why do you have to be
such a downer?Copy !req
472. We should all be goingCopy !req
473. to that church
for the protest on Sunday.Copy !req
474. Together.
As a house.Copy !req
475. I can't make it on Sunday.
I have to meet the photographer.Copy !req
476. Reschedule.Copy !req
477. We're all being chased
by the same monster.Copy !req
478. You saying it's wrong for me
to get a little somethingCopy !req
479. for myself
while I'm running away?Copy !req
480. I could die,
so I should stop living?Copy !req
481. Come on.Copy !req
482. But we need to let them knowCopy !req
483. - that we care about us.Copy !req
484. Y'all are going. What's the
point of raising the profileCopy !req
485. of our community
if there's no community leftCopy !req
486. within a couple of years?Copy !req
487. You're late, Elektra.Copy !req
488. From the looks of things,
not late enough.Copy !req
489. Mother Blanca,
this house is sufferingCopy !req
490. from a major deficiency
in terms of closet space.Copy !req
491. I do not understand how you
expect me to just toss my fineryCopy !req
492. on one of these flea-filled
reclamation projectsCopy !req
493. like a savage.Copy !req
494. What kind of tips
is you making at, um,Copy !req
495. - Indochine to buy this mink?Copy !req
496. She mopped this shit
from the coat room.Copy !req
497. Miss Elektra does not mop.Copy !req
498. Or dustCopy !req
499. - or cook.
Mm-hmm.Copy !req
500. Or wash a dish.Copy !req
501. But she has been helping
with the rent and expensesCopy !req
502. for the past two months,
which I can sayCopy !req
503. more than any of you freeloaders
have done.Copy !req
504. Thank you, Mother Blanca.Copy !req
505. And I do apologize
for missing last week's supper.Copy !req
506. While I don't always
enjoy the companyCopy !req
507. and the sauce could use
some seasoning,Copy !req
508. I do think it's good for morale
to do things as a family.Copy !req
509. Well, good, becauseCopy !req
510. we're all going with PrayCopy !req
511. to that big Act Up protest
at the church on Sunday.Copy !req
512. Count me out.Copy !req
513. I'm not posing for a mug shot.Copy !req
514. Oh, no, uh-uh. Ain't none
of y'all ever given me lipCopy !req
515. when I say we're walking a
category together at the ball.Copy !req
516. Well, this Sunday,
the ball is at the church,Copy !req
517. and the categories are family
and standing up for ourselvesCopy !req
518. and our community,
and all of y'all are going.Copy !req
519. - All right.
- Okay.Copy !req
520. I just booked you
an 11:10 and a 12:15.Copy !req
521. I'm sorry, Ms. Rose.Copy !req
522. You gonna have to give this
to someone else.Copy !req
523. I'm the owner,
I need you to work.Copy !req
524. You know I never turn down work,Copy !req
525. but my friends
are counting on me.Copy !req
526. You're ungrateful.
I let you work hereCopy !req
527. because I am
a good Christian and...Copy !req
528. Please. I have to leave.Copy !req
529. So quit.Copy !req
530. You know what?Copy !req
531. You're right. I quit.Copy !req
532. I'm not wasting whatever time
I have left on this EarthCopy !req
533. to give any part of me to you.Copy !req
534. You should kiss my feet
for hiring you.Copy !req
535. No one else will.
You will see.Copy !req
536. Ladies like getting
their nails done by ladies.Copy !req
537. So... then I'll get
my own salon,Copy !req
538. and make twice the business
you make in here.Copy !req
539. Oh, and I'll call it Vogue Nails
after the Madonna song.Copy !req
540. Then when I get back, I'll come
buy this dump from you.Copy !req
541. Mm... This look
like a lot of money.Copy !req
542. Mm-hmm. And you know
they ain't paying taxesCopy !req
543. on any of this shit.Copy !req
544. I bet you those vestments cost
more than Chanel'sCopy !req
545. - entire spring 1990 collection.
- Hmm.Copy !req
546. O'CONNOR:
and all the others,Copy !req
547. and I warn them now
while absent,Copy !req
548. as I did when presentCopy !req
549. on my second visit,Copy !req
550. that if I come again,
I will not be lenient,Copy !req
551. since you are looking
for proof of ChristCopy !req
552. speaking in me.Copy !req
553. Finally, brothers, rejoice.Copy !req
554. Mend your ways,
encourage one another.Copy !req
555. Agree with one another.Copy !req
556. Live in peace,
and the God of loveCopy !req
557. and peace will be with you.Copy !req
558. Greet one another
with a holy kiss...Copy !req
559. - All the holy ones greet you.
Pass it down.Copy !req
560. May the grace of the Lord
Jesus Christ, the love of GodCopy !req
561. and the fellowship of
the Holy Spirit be with you all.Copy !req
562. And also with you.Copy !req
563. O'CONNOR:
The gospel of the Lord.Copy !req
564. Praise be to Jesus Christ.Copy !req
565. O'CONNOR:
Today's reading really
reminded me of my father.Copy !req
566. Paul's letter
to the Corinthians.Copy !req
567. It's written with love.
But it's...Copy !req
568. Could everyone here
please stand and pray?Copy !req
569. Prayer won't cure AIDS.Copy !req
570. Prayer won't stop
the spread of HIV.Copy !req
571. Only condoms will.Copy !req
572. Abstinence is not
a human solution,Copy !req
573. abstinence is the erasure
of our sexuality.Copy !req
574. Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name...Copy !req
575. Stop killing us!
Stop killing us!Copy !req

589. Stop killing us!
Stop killing us!Copy !req
590. Stop killing us!Copy !req
591. Stop killing us!Copy !req
592. - I love this hairstyle so much.

593. How many looks are we shooting?Copy !req
594. I was thinking just one.Copy !req
595. - I can't afford a full-on shoot.
- That's not how it works.Copy !req
596. We have a whole team
booked for today.Copy !req
597. Well, maybe we could work
something out.Copy !req
598. Like, layaway?Copy !req
599. - Don't you have a job?
- Not at this moment.Copy !req
600. You know, I've seen you
at the piers.Copy !req
601. You must have mistaken me
for someone else.Copy !req
602. - I have one of those faces.
- No, you don't.Copy !req
603. A face like yours
I'd never forget.Copy !req
604. Well, I don't do that anymore.Copy !req
605. - You still gonna shoot me?
- I'm the only person who can.Copy !req

681. instead of showing up
for your dying community?Copy !req
682. Way to set an example
for the kids, Elektra.Copy !req

and thinking I could createCopy !req
831. some kind of immortality to...Copy !req
832. see through my house
and my... my children.Copy !req
