00:30 I have AIDS.

00:31 Oh.

00:35 You want to sue Wyatt Wheeler, Hellermann Tettlow, and Brown?

00:38 I was diagnosed with AIDS eight months ago during a bout with pneumonia.

00:41 What's that on your forehead, pal?

00:43 Andy, everyone in this room is your friend.

00:46 I misplaced an important complaint. That's their story.

00:49 We've been talking it over. Your future, that is.

00:52 And we feel that because we respect you so much, we must be honest with you.

00:56 Excuse me. Am I being fired?

00:59 Would you accept a client if you were constantly thinking, "I don't want this person to touch me."

01:05 I don't want him to even breathe on me.

01:07 You don't want it for personal reasons.

01:11 That's very disappointing.

01:14 Sir, wouldn't you be more comfortable in the research room?

01:18 No. Would it make you more comfortable?

01:22 Beckett, how you doing?

01:25 Counselor.

02:05 So let's talk about what this case is really all about.

02:08 Did you fire Andrew Beckett because he had AIDS?

02:12 The general public's hatred, our loathing, our fear.

02:15 In this courtroom, Mr. Miller, justice is blind to matters of sexual orientation.
