In summary, the conversation is about a person trying to remember a movie they saw as a child. The movie was about parents of a child with an immunodeficiency disease, possibly AIDS. The parents became obsessed with the science of AIDS and made a contribution to its study. The person recalls a scene where the father is in a library and has an insight while fiddling with a funny-looking paper clip. They ask if anyone knows the movie, titled "And the Band Played On," but express doubt about being able to find a copy.

Hey, can anyone remember a movie I vaguely remember from memory as a child. I think it was a TV movie but I'm not positive. It was about the parents of a child or some such who had an immunodeficiency disease like AIDs (I can't actually remember if it was AIDs). Basically the parents became obsessed with the science of AIDs and actually made a not insignificant contribution to the study of AIDs. I remember a particular scene where the father is in a public library reading bio books and he's fiddling with some funny looking paper clip and it gives him the insight into... well... something (obviously he didn't cure AIDs). Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone knew what this movie was (or maybe I'm on hallucinagens).

That sounds promising... Not that there's a chance that I could get my hands on a copy.
