[Eazy-E is in a hospital after collapsing in a recording session]
Um--
Ain't you gonna say something? Is-- What is it, a respiratory infection, pneumonia, what?
Yes, well, um, it is those things and more, I'm afraid. We ran a full blood battery and, uh... I'm sorry, Mr. Wright, but, uh, you've tested positive for HIV.
W-W-What?
The normal T-cell count is anywhere between 500 and 1,500. Right now, your T-cell count is 14.
Uh, Mr. Wright, actually, um, the virus can be transmitted in quite a few ways, including unprotected heterosexual sex.
I d-- That's wrong. You... you gotta test that over. That's-- N-- Test that again.
We've run the test five times, with five different samples, and the result remains the same.
[tearfully]
Shit!
Tomica! [Tomica runs out of the room in tears] Tomica! But she's pregnant, Doc. What this mean?
It doesn't necessarily mean that she's contracted the virus, but, uh, we have to test her, to be sure.
So, what do we do? When...we start the the treatment? I mean, what-- I gotta get healthy. I got things to do. I got-- [the doctor sits next to Eazy-E] What-What are we supposed to do?
Mr. Wright, you need to understand...that you are very, very sick.
I don't even feel that bad, Doc. Don't tell me that. Don't tell me that!
With care, and palliative care, we can probably keep you comfortable for, uh, maybe six months, at the very most.
It's just a matter of time. Um, I, I am, I-I'm truly, truly sorry, Mr. Wright. [Eazy-E is about to cry] I-I-I'll leave you time to, um, process this.
Come on, Doc, come on, Doc, no. Doc. [the doctor leaves the room, leaving Eazy-E helpless as he cries] [voice breaking] Come on!
