Tonight, an ABC premiere presentation.
Ryan White has AIDS.
They said he couldn't play with their kids.
It's a petition to keep Ryan White out of school.
They said he couldn't go to class.
It's the law.
They said he didn't belong.
That's crazy.
They're afraid.
He did the only thing he could.
He fought back.
I want to go to school.
You will.
Based on a true story, who's the boss of Judith Light, George C. Scott, and Lucas Hollis?
The Ryan White story, next.
Tonight's film is a dramatization based on family experiences, interviews, court documents,
and newspaper and magazine accounts.

If Ryan's gonna die, we're all gonna die together.
We're gonna take him home, then pull him into the garage, close the door, and let the car run until we all fall asleep.
Kill ourselves?
Mom, Grandma, Grandpa are here.
How's Ryan taking it?
He doesn't know yet, and I don't want him to.
Not until he's ready to come home, or at least until after Christmas.
It could be our last one. I want it to be special.
How long has he got?
Dr. Kleinman won't say it, but the truth is, three to six months.
Oh my God.
Can we see him?
Uh-huh.
I just want you to be as normal as possible so he doesn't worry.
Dad, it's okay.
I just don't understand. All the kids in the world, why Ryan?
Homosexuals started this disease.
Mom, nobody knows who started it.
Oh no, the newspapers.
Don't blame homosexuals.
If you want to blame anybody, blame me.
Gene.
I'm the one who carried the deformed gene that gave Ryan the hemophilia.
I'm the one who gave Ryan the shots for the hemophilia.
Stop.
That's how he got the bad blood product, and that's how he got AIDS.
So if you want to put it on anybody, you put it on me.
I am not putting anything on anybody.
Come on, come on. Let's get going.
Just remember as normal as possible, okay?
Mom, Dad, look, he's doing so much better.
Hope to get him off the respirator in a few days.
That's great.
By Christmas? I hope so.
Dog.
What?
He wants a dog.
Oh, I don't know.
Oh, can he have a dog?
Ryan, I just, I don't know.
Animals carry disease just like humans. You could catch something from it.
Ask Dr. K.
I can't.
All right, where is he? Is he around?
Yeah, he's right down the hall.
All right, I'll go see what he's doing.
Ryan, no Herbie.
I told you I'm not bringing him to the hospital against rules.
That's it. It's final, finished. Mom, come on.
Come help me talk to Dr. K.
Who's Herbie?
This is Herbie.
There you go.
Yeah, you better not ever let Dr. Klineman say that.
How could anybody be this low?
They even took my skating tapes.
Ryan's computer. They bought him a computer.
Mom, what would they want my skating tapes for?
I can't believe that he would have loved them.
Mom, why would they want my skating tapes?
And I don't know what they want with your skating tapes.
I don't know why anybody would do this to us.
Hey, girl.
I don't have any of that. It looks gross.
Oh, come on, Ryan. It's Dr. Klineman's orders.
Call him. We made a deal.
You two have a secret little pact, huh?
Yeah, that's why I call him Dr. K and he calls me R.W.
Why don't you just have one little bite.
No.
It's good for you, Ryan.
I don't want any.
You don't want any of this stuff?
What do you want?
Nothing.
Do you want a Christmas present?
Wow. Thanks.
You're welcome.
John Cougar.
You know the authority song?
I find authority, authority always wins.
I find authority, authority always wins.
Well, I've been doing it since I was a young kid and I come out grinning.
Well, I find authority, authority.
No.
Oh, come on, Ryan. It's not funny.
It's not funny.
All right. Suit yourself.
I thought you wanted to get better, though.
You know, when you smile, you're kind of cute.
Ryan.
We asked Reverend Williams to come today because...
because we have something to talk to you about and...
Will you pray with me, Ryan?
All right.
Lord, be with us here today as we stand before the wonderful and awesome mystery of thy will and thy love.
Be with Ryan and in Jeannie now as they seek to understand what has happened and to accept what lies ahead.
Amen.
Amen.
Accept what?
Accept what?
You remember why they had to operate?
Yeah, because they wanted to find out what kind of pneumonia I had, right?
It's a rare form called pneumocystis.
It's a very rare kind of pneumonia and only people who...
the only people who get it are people whose immune systems are weak.
People who have... who have...
Ryan, honey.
Honey, you have eight.
Just wanna...
Laura, the nurse?
Laura.
She knows.
Are we gonna die?
We're all gonna die someday. We just don't know when.
Mom, you see that? I did double mapes of cleanups. That's what I have to do with the map.
Sorry, honey. I missed it. I hate these pamphlets. They don't tell you anything.
In here, the doctors say one thing. In here, they say something else.
There's one thing they seem to agree on. You can't get AIDS by living in the same house,
drinking from the same glass, or kissing.
Well, then we don't have anything to worry about.
Come on, Andrea. Just admit it.
It'll get better, I know, Julia.
No one knows, Andrea. None of the experts know.
Yeah, well, I know.
You, um, remember that night in the car when I talked about the garage and closing the door?
Let's just forget about it.
Forget about what?
Our lives are very valuable. Yours and Ryan's and mine.
It was a stupid thought. Very selfish.
You understand what I'm saying?
Yeah, I do.
That's my girl.
Let me see that double flip and lift.
It's double nudes, Mom.
It's great, honey. It is just great.
Come on.
I told you I was fine.
Take it easy. Don't do too much.
Mom, I want to talk to you about the dog.
Ryan, don't start with the dog again.
I want one.
It's a big responsibility having a dog.
I work, Andrea. It's not going to take care of it. Help me with the bag.
Mommy, I will take care of my dog.
Ryan, what happens if you have to go back to the hospital for a few days?
You just can't have everything you want. And help me with the bag.
I'm not helping.
Ryan?
Ryan, did you hear what I said?
Ryan, now. Backseat.
Don't talk.
Ryan?
Mom!
Come here.
Now, where did that come from?
The dog, Mom.
Yeah, I know it's a dog. Now, where did that come from?
What is this, huh?
Come on. It's time to talk to you.
Come on. Come on.
Yeah, this way.
This is your new home.
Ta-ta. Your new home. You like it?
Thanks, Mom. Thanks a lot.
Come on. I'll call you.
I'll call you.
I'm going to call him Barney. What do you think about Barney for a name?
It's your dog.
Look out, Ryan. Look out.
Here. Come on in the kitchen. I want to talk to you about school.
So when am I going back? Tomorrow?
Ryan, um, they don't want you to go back.
What?
They say you're too sick.
I can't go back to school?
That's what they say.
That's crazy! I can ride bikes! I can go to the movies!
I've got my own paper route! I can do everything, but I can't go to school?
No.
I've got to! I already have to take this stuff with Grant over again.
You can't.
I am!
They say no.
Who says no?
Mr. Colby, the principal, Mr. Smith, the superintendent of schools. They're afraid.
Afraid of what? AIDS.
But nobody can get it! Not by me just going to school.
I know that.
Then tell me!
I have!
I just came from the school. They won't listen. They're afraid to take a chance.
They say it's a communicable disease.
Well, how am I supposed to learn anything if I can't go to school?
What do they want me to do? Sit around here and do nothing?
What am I going to do?
They don't want you back.
Folks, please. We can't turn in a verdict while there's still a reasonable doubt.
Bob Swan has a dry shirt, but that doesn't mean he smells good.
Because underarm odor isn't visible, he needs sure solid.
Our most effective wetness and odor formula yet.
So, Bob, why come to court with a dry shirt and a false sense of security?
Tomorrow, get the total protection of today's sure.
You were right.
And be just as sure about odor as you are about wetness.
Thanks.
Yeah!

Tuesday on Moonlighting.
I'm Dr. Richard Burlap.
Maddie and Dave investigate each other.
The R she blows.
May I allow that on TV?
It's a revealing new episode.
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Shirts against the skins, and I got shirts.
And Gary's girlfriend meets the family.
She's a killer. You'll like her.
She has to have a stake in the city. It is part of the attraction.
Was there anything you liked about her?
She didn't like anything about us.
I liked Hope.
I thought she was a doorman.
I thought Nancy was a little awesome.
Dirty something. Tuesday.
Just through here.
Thanks, Dr.
Did you have any trouble finding us?
No, I was fine.
Good. Just down the hall and to the left.
I see you're Mr. Vaughan's son?
Mm-mm.
Where were you?
That's right.
The woman you met up front was my sister.
She's pretty.
Yes, she is.
Right through here.
Well, her mouth is cut up something fierce,
and you're gonna ruin her.
She is not ornery.
You just don't know how to handle her.
Oh, nothing wrong with that bit.
It's you.
Damn it, man. Don't argue with me.
Just do what I tell you to do.
Be gentle. Do you understand me?
All right.
Dad, this is Jeannie and Ryan White.
Hello, Mr. Vaughan.
Tell me what the problem is.
Well, as I told you on the phone,
Mr. Smith, the superintendent of schools,
told me that Ryan couldn't come back.
And when I called him to argue,
he cut me off saying there was no need for us to fight
or try and hire a lawyer because we didn't have any money.
I told you you couldn't fight it
because you didn't have any money.
That's what he said.
Well, most kids would think this was a great day
not having to go to school.
You really sure you want to go to school?
I like school.
I don't have anything else.
He doesn't do sports.
He likes sports, but he can't do them.
School's his thing.
He loves being at school with his friends.
But the superintendent's right. I don't have any money.
Well, Mrs. White, when you practice law,
sometimes your clients have money, sometimes they don't.
You'll take Ryan's case?
Yes.
Now, let's let Mr. Smith take a good hold
to Sam Sneed, as you used to say,
because we're going to try to teach him a little lesson.
Look, Doctor, my daughter goes to school here,
and last year the white kid had a nosebleed
and she helped him out.
Now, is there any guarantee that she's not going to get AIDS, too?
That's just not available.
Well, then he shouldn't be in school.
What we do know about the AIDS virus
is that it lives in the bloodstream.
It's communicable through the mucous membranes,
the eyes, the mouth, the intestinal tract,
and the sexual organs.
It can pass through a cut in the skin,
but you can't get it by touching the same objects
or being in the same room.
Oh, yeah?
Why do the cops in Indianapolis wear gloves
when they bust into that adult bookstore?
You don't know, do you?
Nobody knows, but I know what I'm going to do.
I'm going to start a petition to keep Ryan White out of this school.
And I'll sign it. I don't want my kid coming to this school.
I'll sign it.
Yeah, me too.
Please, please, please, let's...
Let's do this in a rational manner.
As a principal, I can tell you that I'm doing everything prudent
at this time to protect everybody's interests.
I don't think you're doing enough.
Neither do I.
Let me ask you this. Do you have kids?
Do I? Yes.
I don't understand how you cannot be worried.
Who's going to help me out?
We will.
Hey, Heath, how you doing?
Hey, Tommy, congratulations.
I heard you got a D in English.
So, how you doing?
Fine.
You want to play splits?
No, I don't really like them.
This is a great knife. This is an army knife.
It's really sharp.
I've got to fold these papers for Ryan today.
I'm doing it out.
Oh, where is he?
Inside.
Is he sick?
So he says.
Oh, God, are you okay?
Yeah.
It's regular.
You jerk!
Oh, Jake.
Hi, how you doing?
Come on in. What can I do for you?
I want another paper.
What's the matter?
Mine had blood on it.
I don't think it's very funny.
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
What are you talking about?
I got blood all over my paper.
Are you sure it's blood? Let me see.
Oh, no. I'm keeping you in as evidence.
Just a minute.
Now, I don't know how it got there.
And I'll give you another paper.
Just hang up here.
And just so you know, Andrea and Heath did the route today.
Well, somebody bled on my paper.
Who knows what could happen to me?
Andrea?
Andrea, come here.
How'd blood get on the paper?
It must have been the vampire blood of Heath's
who were kind of fooling around before.
How could you do that knowing how everybody feels?
We didn't do it on purpose, Mom.
It's all we need.
That's just all we need.
So we looked up and found that in the state of Indiana,
no kid has a constitutional right to an education.
How can that be?
It just is.
That's where we found the federal court.
See, state law is no good for us.
So Charlie Jr. and I researched federal law
and we found that handicapped children
have a right to a free public education everywhere.
Now you understand why we're going to a federal court.
But Ryan's not handicapped.
Well, his life needs can't be met.
He qualifies as handicapped in school.
Perhaps he can get a free, appropriate education.
This is the way we gotta go.
Well, buddy, there they are.
Oh, my God.
Mr. Vaughn, Mr. Vaughn.
Where are you gonna be here today?
Ryan, please tell us why you're not handicapped.
Mr. Vaughn, Mr. Vaughn, why did you take this case?
Ryan, what's gonna be your first
Your Honor, we do not think that Ryan's admission in school
at this time is in the best interests of the other students
and the staff of Western School Corporation.
And further, we cannot believe Ryan's emotional health
under the circumstances of this case
will be helped by placement in the normal classroom.
Your Honor, this is an emergency.
Ryan White has AIDS.
It's clear medical research has found AIDS
is not transmitted through casual contact.
If we have to exhaust all these administrative remedies,
the boy may not be living by the time we get through it all.
Now, for the time he has left, Ryan should be entitled to go to school.
Mr. Day, in Indiana, we have a process
for a handicapped child to go through
in order to determine his or her educational placement.
Now, that process pursuant to the Education for All Handicapped Children Act
is a four-tiered administrative procedure
that every handicapped child must go through.
Emergency or not, this procedure has to be followed.
It's the law.
I've listened to both sides.
I don't take the matter under advisement.
I'll let you know my decision in the very near future.
So when's he gonna make up his mind?
School starts in two weeks.
I don't know. I have a feeling he's not very happy
about having to make this decision.
This judge is a wimp.
Just try to do his job.
Oh, hey, Mr. Russell, what's here behind yours?
Jeannie, I've got Detroit working on it.
Believe me, we're all trying to help.
Oh, that's great. Well, how long is it gonna take?
See, because my bills are mounting up
and for having to take so many days off, I haven't been able to pay them.
There's not much about AIDS in the medical plan.
I'll let you know as soon as I find something out.
Okay, that would be really...
Ryan, is he okay?
Yeah, Ryan's fine.
Well, he's not... he's okay, but, look, thanks for asking.
What did he say?
Not all.
Hi, Jeannie, how's Ryan doing?
Oh, he's okay.
He said a prayer for him at church.
Thanks.
How's it going?
Hang in there.
You know, Jeannie, there's a lot of scared people in here.
Scared of what?
You.
Well, they can't catch nothing from me.
I know that.
So, what are they... what are they saying?
I don't know.
You want cream?
No, I'm glad you're crazy.
That jerk.
What did you say, man?
You heard what I said.
Hey, she... she didn't even be in here.
I don't have AIDS.
You can't catch it from me.
Oh, yeah, how do you know?
Because I know.
Yeah, well, you might not have it now, but I heard it, like,
like seven years ago.
You shouldn't even be touching this stuff.
Coffee pot or putting your...
You shouldn't be touching me, man.
Oh, yeah, and who you pushing, huh?
Who do you think you're pushing?
Arlene.
Arlene.
Arlene.
Come on.
Come on.
You have no idea.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
None.
Jeannie, you're a real brain surgeon yourself.
Anytime, man.
Anytime what?
Guys like that, I'd like to...
You see that?
Yeah, some of the girls are getting panicky, too.
That's crazy.
Why?
Oh, Betty and Linda said they won't use the washroom if you do.
Oh, yeah?
Well, you better get over it, because...
Because I don't know how they're going to get through the whole week
without using the john.
You'll be okay.
Thanks a lot.
That was great.
I'll talk to you later.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hold on.
I'll walk with you.
Well, what are you doing Tuesday?
Why don't you get...
Oh, Wednesday, Wednesday.
Thanks.
Have a nice day.
Hey, I just got two officers.
That's what I'm talking about.
We just got another house with two more signatures.
Oh, that's terrific.
Ryan's my paper boy.
You mean you can get this from a paper?
Nobody knows how you can get it.
Sign.
Wait, what is this?
Your sign?
Is that dog biting?
Oh, there she is, hungry.
What is this?
It's a petition to keep Ryan White out of school.
I know, and I'll sign it.
Look, the way kids are, anything could happen in school.
I mean, you know, they're always sharing the same thing.
They're always sharing the same thing.
It's not like they're just going to be there for a while.
It's not like they're just going to be there for a while.
It's not like they're just going to be there for a while.
Why does 13 and teenagers don't do that kind of thing?
Kids don't chew pencils.
Even adults chew pencils.
Well, maybe you do miss him, but maybe you've got an oral fixation.
I'm very serious.
He's a danger to those kids in school.
Let me ask you something.
You suddenly have kids in junior high with him?
Me?
No.
I have one in kindergarten.
My little one hasn't started yet.
He's a little girl.
He's a little girl.
He's a little girl.
He's a little girl.
He's a little girl.
I had one in kindergarten.
My little one hasn't started yet.
Well, what are you leading the petition for?
Look, I have nothing personal against Ryan White.
I'm a concerned citizen.
Sign it for your son's sake until we know more.
We just have to be careful.
concerned citizen.
Sign it for your son's sake until we know more.
We just have to be careful.
We really need your support on this.
The federal judge refused to order the Western School Corporation to readmit the 13-year-old AIDS victim until he has exhausted all administrative procedures.
The White's attorney, Charles Haw...
Why didn't you tell me?
We lost, didn't we?
Not lost, exactly.
What then?
Just kind of delayed.
Why?
Because...
They're real determined to keep you out.
And Mr. Vaughn says that they could drag on these proceedings as long as possible because...
They think I'll die, right?
Well, they better not hold their breath.
Ryan, Ryan...
You should have told me!
I'm sorry, Mom.
It's not your fault.
It is.
What?
The hemophilia...
The AIDS...
The situation at school...
Our life's a mess.
But it's not your fault.
I gave you the hemophilia.
Mom...
You gave me life.
Just say you forgive me.
Mom, don't. Please don't.
I'm sorry, Ryan.
Stop.
I'm sorry.
Mom, stop!
See this, Fum?
This is my store.
And for years, my store was at the mercy of AT&T.
But now, with MCI, I finally have an 800 service that charges me only for the actual distance of the calls we get...
And can tell me where every one of those calls is coming from.
And that makes this a better store.
Until you call, you'll never know how much better a long-distance company can be.
MCI. Let us show you.
Your new book talks about dry skin.
My skin gets so dry, I could scratch the word dry on it.
Well, I use Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion. It starts healing dry skin on contact.
Watch this film.
Thermo-Photography shows how Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion soothes the dryness, the redness, actually accelerates healing.
I can't write on it now.
Even hours later, you won't be able to.
You heard it here.
Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion starts healing dry skin on contact.
For fast relief from sore throat pain, try Chloroceptic Lozenges with a powerful phenol formula that goes to work on contact and stops pain.
Fast.
Are you taking a chance with a regular shampoo?
They just rinse away loose dandruff.
Later, new flakes can return.
Head and shoulders help stop flakes where they start before they start.
Because you get one chance to make a first impression.
I wrote the home show because my mother discovered a few months ago that she had heart problems.
And I thought I could run a home show which really helped me to deal with it and helped me to understand what she was going through.
Now I can better help her.
Home. Now an hour. Weekday mornings.
In Rampur, I said you could never make my life such a travesty again, not even if we lived to be a hundred.
I was wrong.
If they weren't having so much fun, you'd think they were still married.
Just kiss.

And ABC News brief, now from Washington, John McWhetting.
Good evening, Miami police have cordoned off 20 square block area in a predominantly black neighborhood
because of what police call a volatile situation following a drug arrest.
Americans marked the 60th birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. today with parades and prayer meetings across the nation.
Speaking from Dr. King's own pulpit in Atlanta,
Jesse Jackson lashed out at President Reagan's record on civil rights.
Mr. Reagan has been consistent.

It will, I promise, be my mission as President of the United States.

We continue with the Ryan White story.
Mom, I'm about to do a trick.
I know that music is a good work. I gotta work overtime whenever I get a chance.
There's a swarm of reporters out there.
Why don't you skate at the open skating at the rink tonight?
It's not practice.
Ryan, get ready for school.
I'm ready.
I'm sorry, I don't know what to do.
Are you on your toes?
Alright, did you just wake here?
Ryan, I told him just one of them good interviews.
This is Jennifer Taylor, Nightside News, Indianapolis.
Hi Ryan.
Won't we do it in the living room?
Sure, wherever you think.
Honey, you sit in the rocker. I'll bring a chair.
Why not here?
Right here?
Oh, sorry.
Ryan, let's have a little chat.
Where is Ryan going to be?
Never.
Is Ryan going to be interviewed for TV?
I don't know. My brother said your brother's a faggot.
He is not. Shut up!
He is not.
Come on.
Ryan, a lot of people are wondering why you're doing this,
taking on the school system.
If you're really so sick, why do you even want to go to school?
I like school. I like to be with my friends.
But do you like all this publicity?
I just want everybody to leave us alone.
You know they won't, Ryan. You're a big story.
I guess.
Jeannie, do you and Ryan use the same toothpaste?
Yeah, why wouldn't we?
Aren't you afraid of catching AIDS?
No, I don't worry about it.
Have you been tested?
Yes.
Do you have it?
No. And Andrea's been tested, too.
No family members ever contracted AIDS.
So you're not worried about catching AIDS at all?
If it was contagious, I'd have it.
If you could get it by airborne, then I'd have had it, but it's not.
Mrs. White?
Mrs. White?
Could you just give us a minute?
Please, don't mind. Thank you.
All this attention must be nerve-wracking, huh, Ryan?
It doesn't bother me.
What does bother you, Ryan?
Things I heard people saying, like that I spit on vegetables in the supermarket.
Especially on this day, we know how you really got it.
What do you mean?
People think I'm gay.
Really?
Gays aren't the only people who get it.
Brea?
Here.
Mark?
Here.
Joey?
Here.
Sue?
Here.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Open your books, please, to page 219, and let's get started.
We're going to be talking about the first, second, and third crusades.
Now, Ryan isn't with us today, and we all know why Ryan isn't here, right?
Ryan.
He can hear what we're saying in this little speaker box, and we'll be able to hear him.
Hi, Ryan. How you doing?
How are you, Ryan?
Andy, where have you been?
We'll talk about that later. Just sit down.
Hey, sit.
Andy, sit. Okay.
Hello, Ryan.
Hello.
Hi.
Hello, Ryan. Are you there?
Hi.
Okay, let's say hello to Ryan. Can we do that?
Hello, Ryan.
Ryan, did you hear us?
Hi.
Let's try it again, real loud this time.
Hello, Ryan.
Hello.
Ryan?
Ryan.
There he is.
Hello.
Ryan, please speak into the speaker phone.
I just did.
Joey, wait. Wait, Joey. Thank you.
Ryan?
Hi.
Ryan, are you there? Wait, guys. Thank you very much.
Can we start reading on the first crusade, please?
Ryan, can you?
Go away.
Please speak into the speaker.
Ryan.
Go away.
Ryan, speak directly into the speaker.
I am.
Who?
This is WWKI Kokomo, and you're listening to Mail Call.
Good morning.
Good morning. Does anybody know if you can catch AIDS from casual contact?
Hey, Jade. Pretty sexy sneakers you got there.
One hour and he asked the same question.
Can you ever catch it by casual contact?
And one said absolutely not.
And the next person you know when he said it.
We don't really know you. We don't think you can.
And I said, wait a minute now, sir, don't think so.
It's not good enough for the life of my children.
Don't think so?
See you later.
So you're going to say it's okay for a boy who's got AIDS to be in public school with a thousand other kids
because right now you don't think so?
With an incubation period of up to seven years, where will you be in seven years, sir,
when my child comes down with AIDS?
And he stuttered and stammered around and said,
well, well, all I can tell you is we don't think so.
We don't think so.
Homo.
Just ignore them.
Maybe I should offer to shake their hands.
Hey, Mom, can I still go skating tonight?
I told you yes, Andrea.
I'm not. I'm doing my homework with Sue at her house.
Is that so?
Yeah.
Well, what time do you have to be at Sue's?
Seven.
Wonderful.
Try it again.
The battery's dead, Mom. It's dead.
Joe, could you help?
Great.
Just wait here a second.
Hey, Don, do you have any jumper cables you can help me...
No.
No, we don't.
Sorry, Jeannie.
Does anybody have any jumper cables they can help me out here?
Huh?
All right, just give me my purse, will you?
Andrea.
You guys wait here. I'm gonna go inside.
I'm gonna call Grandma, see if we can borrow her car.
We'll get there, Andrea.
I promise you, we'll get there.
I'll be right there.
I'll be right there.
I promise you, we'll get there.
Hi.
Hi.
I got it, Mom.
Am I early?
Uh, no.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
What's the matter?
Ryan, my Mom thinks it would be better if we didn't stay together anymore.
Okay.
Ryan, I'm sorry.
It's all right.
It's all right.
I'm sorry.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Mom?
Mom?
Mom?
Mom?
Ryan?
Mom?
Ryan?
Mom?
Mom?
Ryan?
Mom, what is it?
I'm gonna...
Mom?
What? I'm right here. I'm right here.
Promise me something.
What is it, sweetheart?
I'm gonna die. Just don't bury me in Cookville.
Mom?
I'm scared.
Careful.

I'll take the elevator.
That's a real pain.
Did the doctor say you had to stay in bed?
No, we don't have a lot of energy.
I don't have a lot of energy either.
But don't you hate being stuck in this room?
Yeah, how do I feel so good?
Green Lantern, Spider-Man.
Come on.
Come on, Chad.
Why?
You ought to get one of these.
No way. What for?
You don't have to eat anything.
I like to eat.
I've got these sores in my throat, though, and it hurts.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I've got these sores in my throat, though, and it hurts whenever I swallow.
Yeah, well, I throw up all the time, but I'd rather eat than have tubes.
Yeah, but with these tubes, you don't have to eat or throw up.
No pain, no gain.
That's easy for you to say. You don't know how I feel.
Hey, I have AIDS, too, remember?
Everything you've got.
Light tumors?
I don't hear you coughing all the time.
Just in the elevator.
It's all right.
You know what my girlfriend did when she found out?
Yeah.
A girl dumped me, too.
But that's no reason to give up.
It's just...
Nobody knows what it feels like to be all alone.
You know?
Amy, you have AIDS.
I would like you to tell this court how you would feel if you applied to go to school
and were told that you could not enter because you had AIDS.
I object to the question to the extent that it mischaracterizes the testimony.
I have no objection to her telling us what it would feel like to be barred from school.
What is the mischaracterization?
You have no objection to her answer, but you object to the question?
I object to the question. I thought it suggested Ryan White was barred from school
simply because he has AIDS, which is not the evidence in this case.
Well, that was our understanding that he couldn't go back because he had AIDS.
You haven't followed the case.
We will strike that portion of the question from the question so that she can answer.
Let's state for the record, then. I would like this statement in the record
that Ryan White was not barred from the classroom because he has AIDS.
And then we're going to dismiss. We're going to walk right out of here.
Mr. Vaughn, you just said that Ryan White was barred from the classroom.
I would just like to get it clear whether or not Ryan was barred because he has AIDS.
If Mr. Day is serious that he wasn't barred on August of 1985,
then I think we should get it clear for the record,
because that was the notification to Jeannie White that he couldn't go to school because he has AIDS.
That was his notification for Mr. Smith.
Mr. Vaughn, please be seated. We're going to have a five-minute recess.
What's going on? I can't follow this.
I don't even understand what you're talking about.
If they're barring him from school not because he has AIDS, why are they barring him?
This hearing isn't about AIDS. It's a hearing to determine whether or not Ryan is handicapped.
You remember I said that was the way we had to go?
Yeah, so why are you talking about AIDS?
Because AIDS is what qualifies to be handicapped.
This is very confusing.
No way! I'm not getting a feed in two!
It's a small incision and it's not painful.
It'll be completely covered up. It will be. It'll be under your shirt. No one will see it.
And it's temporary. When you no longer need it, we'll remove it. Honest. Really.
I'm not getting a feed in two!
Ryan, this is not negotiable.
You have to have it.
I don't want to look like Chad.
Stop comparing yourself to Chad. You're two different human beings.
Ryan, you have to have it.
There we are. I just came from court.
We got through the process that they said you couldn't get through.
You qualified as handicapped. You can go back to school.
When?
As soon as you're better.
Good news. Congratulations.
That's great.
Let's do it.
Parents have the right under Indiana law to have their children attend schools which are free from communicable diseases.
Not only AIDS, but also measles, mumps, chickenpox, tuberculosis, meningitis, etc.
They're not the same!
AIDS patients are known to be susceptible, and any of which, Ryan White could care to school undetected.
I thought we won. Never really won.
I told you they would appeal.
So we won, but we lost. As soon as we won, we lost.
Now we're going to deal with the big issue. Their appeal will be about Ryan having AIDS.
Well, why don't they believe what the doctors say?
Jeannie, relax.
I can't! I'm sorry! I just can't take it anymore!
You don't know what it's like. Women every day. All day. Every day.
People just whisper it, and they hate me.
I know how it is.
You don't! You can't! You can't! You can't!
Oh, sorry. Oh, Mr. Vaughan, I'm real sorry.
Maybe it'd just be better if we kept Ryan at home and forget fighting it because we can't win.
We can win.
Even if he does win, by some miracle.
What's it going to be like for him if he goes back to school?
When he goes back.
People are so crazy. Anything could happen.
Ryan.
Let's just quit. Okay?
Is that how you feel, Ryan? You want to quit?
No.
You do want to go back to school.
Yes, I have to. I need it.
All right. Then I don't represent you anymore, Genie. I only represent Ryan here.

What pen?

This is WWKI Kokomo and you're listening to Mail Call.
They got him for attempted murder.
Attempted murder?
Attempted murder.
He's got AIDS and he spit on someone.
Wow.
Didn't know what kind of power those boys have.
We got a big article in the Indianapolis Star here a while back that the boy attended a Pacers game or a Colts game.
It was just like the family said, ha ha.
We went to the game and sat right beside you and you didn't even know it.
This is WWKI Kokomo and you're listening to Mail Call.
Good morning.
Good morning.
You know a mother like that taking her son out in public like that with people all around him, obviously she doesn't care about us.
But doesn't she care about him?
Doesn't she love her own boy?
I don't think so.
Good morning.
You got no right to talk about my mother.
She's a great person and she does love me.
You've got no right.
No right.
And a boy.
And a boy!
Here she comes.
Andrea, honey, I just want to ask you a question.
I don't have anything to say.
How is he at home?
He's at home.
You please leave me alone.
Why were you in my skate bag?
I needed the Allen wrench to fix my skateboard.
The copy one?
The one that always loses things?
That's because you're always taking everything?
I never took your earphones.
They're in your room.
What were you doing in my room?
You're always in my room.
Hi.
Are we still going skating tonight?
I'm sorry, honey, I've got to go talk to Mr. Vaughn tonight.
Talk about Ryan's appeal, right?
Ryan's appeal, Ryan's appeal.
Andrea, what is the matter?
Nothing.
Andrea, what is the matter?
Go be with Ryan.
Andrea, come back out here.
What?
Good man, brat.
Shut up.
You shut up.
Both of you shut up.
Now what is wrong?
Ryan White, Ryan White.
I'm sick of hearing Ryan White.
Our whole world is Ryan White.
Ryan's body's been hit by a car.
What?
I'm sorry, he ran right out.
No, don't touch him.
I tried to stop, but he ran right out in front of me.
I really tried.
4L40, 4L40, see the man.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm still in heaven.
It pleases the court in the point of simple fact,
the only evidence after months of testimony
is that Ryan constitutes no danger
to his fellow students whatsoever.
Your Honor, communicable disease is defined by statute,
and as long as the child has a communicable disease,
the person having custody shall not permit said child
to attend school, shall not.
It's mandatory, no excuses, it's the law.
Your Honor.
It's a 1949 statute, and I suggest that in 1949
there was no concern about AIDS
since the disease did not exist.
Furthermore, if you look beyond the single paragraph
he's quoting, it says that a health officer
and a physician can permit the child to enter the classroom.
Point of order, it's true, Your Honor,
that the law is 37 years old, but it hasn't been repealed,
and it's not my job, nor Mr. Vaughan's job,
to question the intent of the legislature.
They pick out one isolated, antiquated law,
and they say this is it.
It says, shall not, and that's it, for all eternity.
Then they stick their heads in the sand,
and they say you can't look at any other law.
Well, I appreciate the comments of counsel.
The court is not insensitive to Ryan White
or his mother and their needs.
The court is also not in a vacuum,
or unaware of how disruptive this case has been.
I think it's unfortunate, as Mr. Vaughan says,
that we're dealing here with an antiquated statute.
However, when you read the law,
it is unclear in light of 1986 problems
what was intended and what the practice should be here today.
Therefore, I'm going to grant the temporary restraining order.
We won! We won!
Look at these people.
They think this is some kind of basketball game?
No, it's not over yet. It's just in the room.
Mr. Vaughan, are you on holiday?
Yes, I am.
How do you think you're going to get by?
I'm going to get by.
You're going to get by.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
I'm going to get by.
Did you ever dream that they would use that 1949 statute?
I'm going to get by.
Mr. Vaughan, are you going to agree to it?
Mr. Vaughan, are you going to agree to it?
I'm going to get by.
I'm going to get by.
I'm going to get by.
I'm going to get by.

Where'd he go?
Ryan, were you surprised?
A lot of people brush their teeth as much as three times a day with a tartar-controlled toothpaste, and that's good.
But not good enough. Because as any dentist will tell you, the number one dental problem isn't tartar, it's plaque.

And it can cause bloating. Why do that to yourself?

So now it's your turn to quit, huh? Who gets the worst of that deal?
I don't care anymore!
You don't? Huh?
This wrong thing just doesn't work!
Alright. Well quit then.
You want to quit.

Now we can't win in Kokomo.

So if he dissolves the injunction, then I can go back to school?
And if he doesn't?
If he doesn't?
All rise! Court is now in session.
Please be seated.
Gentlemen, you can read the written order.
In the interest of brevity, I will simply say that the temporary restraining order is
dissolved.
We won!
We won!
I can't believe it!
Thank you.
Is that all there is to it?
That's it.
That's all there is to it.
What are you going to do now?
I'm going to school.
Okay, everybody out of the car.
It's a celebration.
Party.
Why don't you follow me?
Okay.
What can we come to?
Beth.
Might even go with my friend over.
Carly went from the factory.

You like him, don't you?
Invite him over, ma.

I asked you, did he call?
Mom, come here.
What is it?
Whoa!
What if we were home?
That's why they did it.
Cause we knew.
He's scared, mom.
I'm scared, Mom.
Alright, don't worry.
They hate us. They hate us.
Here, we're gonna try to kill us next.
Now Ryan's going back to school, just gonna make it worse.
Andrew, just get in the house.
This house is in the creeps, Mom.
Andrew, Ryan, please, get in the house. Please stop looking at the phone.
I hope, Mom.
Come on, get in the house.
You realize you cannot get AIDS from casual contact.
Yeah, that's been explained to me.
How do you feel about it?
Karen, you are not staying here another minute.
Alright.
What happened last night?
Ryan.
Ryan.
Ryan, good morning.
Ryan, welcome back.
Ryan, you just, excuse me, excuse me, we're leaving.
Ryan, you're back at school.
How do you feel about it?
Have a great day.
Ryan, how do you feel about it?
I'll be waiting for you.
No pressing side. No pressing side.
Bye, Mom.
Alright, people, let's go. School time.
Hey, man.
Come on, nothing to see here.
Let's go break it up.
Come on.
We're leaving. We're leaving.
John, come on.
Good morning, Ryan.
Morning, Mr. Smith.
Ryan.
Are you ready for today?
Don't worry, Mr. Colby.
I know what we need to do.
I'm getting out of here.
So, what'd you bring?
Well, I have my own private John in the back,
and that's the only one I can use.
That's messed up. That's a piss.
And then in the cafeteria, I have plates with plates
and plastic forks and spoons,
and I have to throw them all away when I'm done.
And I can't use any of the fountains.
What happens if you get thirsty?
I'll be right back.
See you later, man.
All right, guys.
I don't want to go home.
You're going home.
I'm not staying at school as long as that kid is here.
Phew.
It's a long trip to Indianapolis and back.
Oh, I don't mind, honey.
I just wish I could take you every time you needed to practice.
Can't take me there enough times to make it worthwhile.
Andrea, Grandpa doesn't mean to complain.
I know, but I don't have the time to get in all the practice
that I need to have to be good.
And I know if I go to the Nationals next year,
I'll just be beat.
So I'm going to put off skating for now
because the lives are just too busy.
Oh, honey, come on.
That's an awful lot to give up.
Maybe it'll just be for a little while.
You're giving up skating?
I'm not giving it up.
I'm just going to practice when I have a chance.
I hate it here.
She's still having those nightmares.
Ever since the bullet hole, she's been really scared.
Okay, we're going to get in the car.
Let's go.
Where's Andrea?
Andrea?
Honey?
Where's Andrea?
I don't know.
Nothing.
I'll tell you nothing.
Get in the car.
Come on.
Come on.
Move.
Come on.
Move.
It better be good.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Just get in the car.
Come on.
Come on.
Well, what do you think?
What's that?
Ours?
Yours?
Yeah.
Ours?
Yeah, here.
Take a look at it.
You got a loan?
Yeah.
It finally just came through.
But how did you get it?
Well, um...
Gene.
Yeah?
How much is this house?
Dad, don't worry.
It's all right.
Really, it's all right.
I found my room.
And I found mine.
There's a big old fireplace in the living room.
And my room is so big, and I even have my own bathroom.
Can we make a fire in the fireplace?
Yeah, we'll get some wood from the back.
Sure, go ahead.
Be careful.
Yeah, let's go.
Jeannie, how did you get this loan?
I told them that I'd sell the house and repay the money
a year after Ryan dies.
Come on inside.
It's a really great house.
Come on.
Come on, please.
Is there a guest room?
Yes.
Well, here we go again.
Can't be worse than Kokomo.
Yeah, nothing can be worse than Kokomo.
Don't worry.
You talked to the principal?
Yes, I told you.
What did he say?
He said he'd talk to the kids.
He held a special assembly and told them all about you.
Are you sure they want me?
There he is. Hurry up.
That's him?
Yeah.
See you later.
