AARON KREIFELS: It just hit me today, the minute that I got out of the courthouse. That the reason that God wanted me to find him is, for he didn’t have to die out there alone, you know. And if I wouldn’t of came along, they wouldn’t of found him for a couple of weeks at least. So it makes me feel really good that he didn’t have to die out there alone.

MATT GALLOWAY: I’m just glad it’s over. I really am. Testifying in that trial was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. And don’t get me wrong, I love the stage, I really do, I love it. But it’s tricky, because basically what you have is lawyers questioning you from this angle but the answers need to be funneling this way, to the jury. So what you have to do is establish a funneling system. And that’s hard for me because I’m a natural conversationalist, so it’s just natural instinct that when someone asks you a question, you look at that person to make eye contact. But it’s kind of tough when you literally have to scoot over—change your position, in effect, funnel over to where the jury is. But I was able to do that several times over the course of my testimony.

(Everyone is amused and baffled by this last text.)

REGGIE FLUTY: It’s time to move on. And I think for even the citizens are having the town painted red so to speak. They’re gonna just be glad to maybe get moved on.

MOMENT: EPILOGUE

ANDY PARIS: On our last trip, I had the good fortune of seeing Jedadiah Schultz play the role of Prior in Angels in America. After a performance, we spoke.

JEDADIAH SCHULTZ: I didn’t for the longest time let myself become personally involved in the Matthew Shepard thing. It didn’t seem real, it just seemed way blown out of proportion. Matthew Shepard was just a name instead of an individual.…

I don’t know, it’s weird. It’s so weird, man. I just—I just feel bad. Just for all that stuff I told you, for the person I used to be. That’s why I want to hear those interviews from last year when I said all that stuff. I don’t know. I just can’t believe I ever said that stuff about homosexuals, you know. How did I ever let that stuff make me think that you were different from me?
