[ANGEL and COLLINS attend an AIDS Life Support group.]<br>
[PAUL, the support leader, sits on the downstage railing above.]<br>
[GORDON, one of the members of the group, is standing downstage left,]<br>
[facing the audience. As the members enter, they introduce]<br>
[themselves and form a semicircle. Note: The names of the support]<br>
[group members should change every night and should honor]<br>
[actual friends of the company who have died of AIDS.]<br>

Hi, I'm Angel.<br>
<br>
[COLLINS]<br>
<br>
Tom. Collins.<br>
<br>
[PAUL]<br>
<br>
I'm Paul. Let's begin<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
<br>
There's only us<br>
There's only this ...<br>
<br>
[MARK blusters in noisily.]<br>
<br>
[MARK]<br>
<br>
Sorry ... Excuse me ... oops<br>
<br>
[PAUL]<br>
<br>
And you are?<br>
<br>
[MARK]<br>
<br>
Oh -- I'm not --<br>
I'm just here to -- <br>
I don't have --<br>
I'm here with --<br>
Um -- Mark<br>
Mark -- I'm Mark<br>
Well -- this is quite an operation<br>
<br>
[PAUL]<br>
<br>
Sit down Mark<br>
We'll continue the affirmation<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
<br>
Forget regret or life is yours to miss<br>
<br>
[GORDON]<br>
<br>
Excuse me Paul -- I'm having a problem with this<br>
This credo -- My T-cells are low --<br>
I regret that news, okay?<br>
<br>
[PAUL]<br>
<br>
Alright<br>
But Gordon - How do you feel today?<br>
<br>
[GORDON]<br>
<br>
What do you mean?<br>
<br>
[PAUL]<br>
<br>
How do you feel today?<br>
<br>
[GORDON]<br>
<br>
Okay<br>
<br>
[PAUL]<br>
<br>
Is that all?<br>
<br>
[GORDON]<br>
<br>
Best I've felt all year<br>
<br>
[PAUL]<br>
<br>
Then why choose fear?<br>
<br>
[GORDON]<br>
<br>
I'm a New Yorker!<br>
Fear's my life!<br>
Look - I find some of what you teach suspect<br>
Because I'm used to relying on intellect<br>
But I try to open up to what I don't know<br>
<br>
[GORDON AND ROGER (who sings from his loft)]<br>
<br>
Because reason says I should have died<br>
Three years ago<br>
<br>
[ALL]<br>
<br>
No other road<br>
No other way<br>
No day but today<br>
<br>
