Description

America Responds to AIDS [ARTA]
"AIDS is scary, but a zit is real. Right?" "Mike: When you put it like that, you make me feel like a jerk. Why? Mike: Because I know that AIDS is more important than a zit. But it just doesn't have to do with me. Why not? Mike: Because I don't know anyone with AIDS. So, it's going to take a friend of your dying of AIDS before it seems real? Mike: You're making me sound like a jerk again. But, yeah, that's about it. That's a heavy price. How will you feel after that? Mike: Bad."
