Sundays 9:00 PM on FXI know that Ronald Reagan will not say the word AIDS.
Blanca: You should have heard them talking, like not knowing is an okay thing.
Pray: They're young.
Blanca: That's my point. They don't know shit about shit. It's my job to teach them. What's the point in being their mother if I can't teach them to do to protect them from the one thing we all know is comin'.
Pray: Then tell them to be careful.
Blanca: They're kids! Most of the grown men we know aren't careful. They gotta get checked and not just for their sake. They need to know so they don't hurt nobody else.
Pray: I stopped getting tested.
Blanca: What?
Pray: After Custus got sick and I saw how the AZT made him sicker. He's not the first. I know about five people where the drugs killed them before the virus did.
Blanca: You don't know that.
Pray: I know that Ronald Reagan will not say the word AIDS. Health insurance will not cover any treatment. The world wants us dead. They don't think this is a plague. They think it's some sort of devine justice or Darwin's answer for sodomy.
