Quotes
-
[Eazy is in a hospital after collapsing in a recording session]
Tomica : Aren't you gonna say something? What is it? A respiratory infection, pneumonia, what?
Young Doctor : Yes, well, it is those things and more, I'm afraid. We ran a full blood battery and... I'm sorry, Mr. Wright, but you've tested positive for HIV.
Eazy-E : Get the fuck outta here.
Tomica : What?
Young Doctor : The normal T-cell count is anywhere between 500 and 1500. Right now, your T-cell count is 14.
Eazy-E : But I ain't no faggot.
Young Doctor : No, Mr. Wright, actually the virus can be transmitted in quite a few ways, including unprotected heterosexual sex.
Eazy-E : That's wrong. You... you gotta test that again. Test that again.
Young Doctor : We've run the test five times, with five different samples, and the results remain.
Tomica : Shit!
[Tomica storms out of the room]
Eazy-E : She's pregnant, Doc! What does this mean?
Young Doctor : It doesn't necessarily mean that she's contracted the virus, but... we'll have to test her, to be sure.
Eazy-E : So what do we do? When do we start the the treatment? I mean, what... I gotta get healthy, I got things to do. I got... What's we supposed to do?
Young Doctor : Mr. Wright, you need to understand that you are very, very sick.
Eazy-E : But I don't even feel that bad Doc, don't tell me that.
Young Doctor : With care, and palliative care, we can probably keep you comfortable for... maybe six months, at the very most.
[by this time, Eazy is in a deep panic and is beginning to cry]
Eazy-E : Comfortable? What do you mean comfortable?
Young Doctor : It's just a matter of time. I am, I am truly, truly sorry, Mr. Wright. I'll leave you time to process this.
[the doctor leaves the room, leaving Eazy helpless as he cries]
