Gays, intravenous drug users and Haitians

seem particularly to be at risk.

The virus reacts almost like

a contagious form of cancer.

I'm trying to stay positive.

I think in my situation it's very...

And it's where film meets rock

and we're all happy.

- Bryan.

- Okay, an idea for a movie.

And the reason we came to Bryan Metro

is because people remember

how intense that movie turned out

about the life of the band.

Holy Christ, man, the four of you guys,

Sam and Matt and...

- Ed. His name was Ed.

- Yeah. Yeah.

That's known as a real tragedy, huh?

A real shame.

Upsetting, too, I bet. Right?

When your bassist jumps from the roof

of the Clift Hotel, I'd say so.

They'd already split up by then, so...

Yeah. Well, anyways,

since that movie about the life of the band

turned out to be so cool and so profitable,

without exploiting anyone,

we were wondering

if you'd be pleased and thrilled

to star in a movie,

one where you would actually play yourself.

We get so many scripts.

Bryan turned down Amadeus,

so we're very fussy.

Well, this movie is basically your typical

rock- star- in- outer- space- type thing.

There's this alien creature, this ET.

- ET?

- Extraterrestrial. Alien.

Yeah. The ET sabotages Bryan's limo

after a gig,

and there's a big fiery chase and somehow...

- We haven't quite got that nailed yet...

- Yeah, go on.

You all end up on a planet

where Bryan falls in love with a princess.

We're thinking Pat Benatar

or a Go- Go for that.

In order to escape the planet,

you have to play in this big concert

for the emperor,

who's basically this giant tomato.

So it's madcap, right?

- It's not tacky...

- Yes.

...and everyone is getting

very excited by it.

Bryan?

Bryan. Bryan?

Thank you so much for coming.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Christie, you know my sister, Susan, right?

- Have you guys met?

- Yeah. Hi.

Okay, well, I'm gonna get a drink.

- Cool, baby. You wanna bring me one, too?

- Nice shirt.

Ditto.

Does she always dress like that?

Movies, restaurants and stuff?

- You a little jealous?

- Graham!

Hey, mellow out.

Did you know

they were gonna go through with it?

What?

Mom and Dad? Yeah.

Mom mentioned something when I woke up.

What a scandal, huh?

Oh, my God, you're so stoned.

You're such a stoner.

I can't even talk to you.

I'm really not stoned, okay?

Just mellow out.

- You should talk to him.

- And say what exactly?

I don't know. "Dad, this isn't a good idea.

Don't go through..."

Okay? All right.

Let's take off, all right? What do you say?

Graham, do you even care

what he did to Mom?

And now he's back and he's just gonna do

the same thing again.

Look, I had to take care of her,
