:33:04
Yes.
:33:08
I see.
:33:11
Can you hang on for a moment?
:33:13
Mom, can you hang this up?
I'm gonna take it in there.

:33:20
I'm here.
:33:23
Yes.
:33:24
The part I wasn't telling you about before...
:33:28
...is that Reggie FIuty is my daughter.
:33:32
When she toId me she wanted
to be a poIice officer...

:33:34
...I thought there was not
a better choice for her.

:33:37
She couId handIe whatever came her way.
:33:41
And then this happens.
:33:49
That was the hospitaI.
:33:54
Matthew Shepard is HIV positive, and...
:33:59
...they said I've been exposed.
:34:02
What?
:34:08
They said I've been exposed
to the AIDS virus.

:34:12
Because I've been buiIding
the Iean-tos for the IIamas...

:34:16
...and I have a bunch of open cuts
on my hands, and...

:34:21
...I got his bIood on my hands.
:34:25
How did you get it on your hands?
:34:28
We have shit gIoves, you know,
and I kept putting them on and...

:34:32
...you keep putting them on,
and they keep breaking, so...

:34:35
...finaIIy, I ran out.
:34:38
You touched him without gIoves?
:34:43
You cannot Iet
a human being just sit there.

:34:46
Reggie!
:34:47
Don't hesitate,
that's what goes through your mind.

:34:49
Don't hesitate, aII the time.
:34:51
So you just keep on moving,
and you take care of Matthew...

:34:55
...and you try to find an open airway,
and that's what you do.
