it's just, like--

it just has not been a good time.

How is she, your mom?

I'm proud of her.

I mean, it's a complete mind-f***,

but we're taking it one day at a time,

and she's being really strong

about it all, so--

so yeah.

Send her my love, won't you?

If she doesn't hate me, that is.

She'd only hate you if I hated you.

Does she hate me?

She could never hate you.

All right.

Okay.

We got the European support.

Hey, Tiger.

It's okay. Don't get up.

You look great.

Thanks.

Hey, Franki.

Franki.

What?

I'm not gonna beat around the bush

with you, Mrs. Morrison.

We got good news.

The biopsy tests say that you

are now officially in remission.

Yes.

Congratulations.

- Oh, my God.

- Congratulations.

Thank you.

Oh, that's lovely.

Oh, thank you so much, guys.

I am so happy for you all.

Really, I am.

Mom, this is about you

for a change, not us.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,

I prefer that on the TV.

The shelf.

No, the TV.

No, the shelf!

Guys, guys!

Mom, it's fine on the TV.

Actually, the TV is good.

- Hey!

- Hey, sorry.

I didn't know you were entertaining.

You remember Franki's friends, right?

- Hey, guys.

- Mr. Morrison.

You want a drink?

No, I can't stay long.

I got Pamela waiting in the car.

Mm-hmm, well, bring her in.

- Mom!

- It's fine, really.

Life is too short.

Tell her she's perfectly welcome.

I just wanted to give you these.

Those are beautiful.

Oh, thank you very much.

I'm not sure I understand

what you're saying.

Yeah, I can do that.

I just-- I don't understand why.

Yeah, you just said that, but why?

There's no real easy way

to say this, Mr. Morrison,

so I'm just gonna come out with it.

Your blood sample has been

tested positive for HIV.

Do you know what HIV is?

No, no.

No, there's got to be a mistake.

The human immunodeficiency virus

is the virus that leads to,

or I should say, can lead to AIDS.

I say "can"

because the good news these days

is that medicine is such

that many HIV patients

have the same life expectancy

as people without HIV.

But I've been donating blood

to my mother

for the last eight months.

Nothing's ever shown up before.

Do you use intravenous drugs?

No.

- Have you ever?

- No.

Have you had unprotected sex

with anyone in the last six months?

Yeah, but--

I mean, it was only once.

Once is all it takes, I'm afraid.

What about my mother?

Mrs. Morrison has been

informed of your status,

and she's been tested too.

Oh, your mother's upstairs.

You prick!

Out of my way.

Franki, your mother's tired.

It's okay, Arnold.

Why don't you just shut the door

behind you?

Did you get the results back?

Not yet.

I don't know what to say.

You're my baby, Franki.
