You have contracted a serious veneral disease!

I used to use that as a prank when I first saw this movie.

I thought it was eerie that in 1980, that was like the worst thing that could happen to you, but within a years time, the whole world was in a panic about an STD that could actually kill you.

The Exclamation Mark ! Was a nice touch :-)

I was confused by that Health Department venereal disease form. How does that work?

It says he has a "serious venereal disease." And then it lists at least 10 women he had sex with within 2 weeks of the assumed date of the infection. Did the caseworker type those names and addresses onto the form after interviewing Warren Lockman the date he would have been tested? Or did he add those names to the form (on his own typewriter) after receiving the positive test results and he just hadn't mailed it back to the health department when Kate discovered it? Was it his obligation to contact all of those women to inform them they may have gonnorhea or syphilis? Or is the Health Department going to contact all of them now that Warren's test results came back positive?

I was only three when this movie came out and, fortunately, I never contracted an STD in later decades, so I'm somewhat ignorant as to what was being expressed in this scene.
