04x04 - Playing with Fire

Post by bunniefuu »

[dramatic music playing]

I cannot wait to see
what the love of my life looks like.

It's like a kid on Christmas morning
opening up a new present

and seeing his favorite toy inside.
It's a thousand times better than that.

I can't wait to see his face, his eyes,
his lips, maybe get to kiss them.

Maybe we'll have to wait.
We'll find out. [chuckles]

I think that there's gonna be
crazy chemistry when we see each other.

Uh, Irina's a little nervous.
She has no idea what I look like.

And I've intentionally made sure
I haven't told her.

She has no idea how tall I am.
She doesn't know what color hair I have.

She doesn't know,
um, what color skin I have.

I don't think it's gonna matter.

[laughing]

-Hi!
-Hey.

Good to see you.

Nice to meet you finally.

-Do you wanna sit down?
-Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh. This is so weird. [laughs]

It is pretty weird.

Am I anything you thought
I would look like?

You look exactly like
what I thought you'd look like, yeah.

-Really?
-Mm-hmm. Except you're taller.

-I'm taller?
-Mm-hmm. Which is a plus, actually. Yeah.

I like taller girls.

[chuckles] Do I look like
what you thought I'd look like?

I had no guesses
of what you looked like. [laughs]

Oh!

You have, like, the blankest stare
in your eyes. You're like this…

[Zack] Really?

-I'm just kind of taking it all in.
-Me too.

You look like a fictional character.
You look like something out of a cartoon.

I know.

[laughs] You have to blink!

-I am blinking.
-You don't blink. You look like this.

I am blinking.

-I will try not to be too intense.
-It's creepy. [laughs]

I'll try to blink more for you.

-So…
-Ooh!

I think you're gonna be
really surprised by this.

[Irina gasps]

Wait. That is so beautiful.

[gasps, shouts]

-Irina.
-Yes.

I've gotten to meet someone
who has one of the most beautiful hearts

that I've ever seen.

I know at your core who you are,

and I know that you care so much
about other people.

And that's why I wanna spend
the rest of my life with you.

-Will you marry me?
-[laughing] Yes.

-And you picked this out?
-[Zack] I did.

Wait. Huh? This is so gorgeous.

I have to be honest.
I'm, like, so picky with rings.

I didn't tell you I was
until you give me a gold band.

[laughing] What? I secretly am,
but this is so beautiful--

[Zack whispers] Do you want a kiss?

Just a hug for now. [laughs]

I think it's a lot for me at this point.

But thank you.

I'm completely shocked.

[laughing] I had no idea
what Zack looked like.

And it's gonna take me
some time to get used to.

[laughing] I thought
he'd be a little more normal.

-["What Can I Do Right" playing]
-♪ You feel your heartbeat pumping… ♪[/i]

♪ You watch your breath

Yeah, I still love Irina.

I just wanna look at her eyes,

and I don't think
she was quite ready for, uh,

for having that much eye contact.

She said I looked
like a cartoon character.

Um, which I don't know
if that was a compliment or not.

I think it was intended to be?

-I think this is gonna be really fun.
-I hope so.

I think we're in for a wild adventure.

I think so too. [sighs]

[laughing] Maybe if
you could start blinking more…

Stop making fun of that.

-You stare at me. You go like this…
-I know.

That's creepy!

-You're creepy.
-I'm just kidding.

they are now headed to Mexico,

if their physical connection
is as strong as their emotional one.

[Chelsea] First test.
Can you get 300 pounds of luggage?

[Kwame chuckles]

Thanks, bro. You and your 97 bags.
[chuckles]

I was like, "Good thing Paul
only has a backpack." [laughs]

-[Paul] Oh, no. Rough.
-[Micah chuckles] Oh, no.

-I got it.

[Kwame] Mm-hmm.

[Nick] Until this point,
the only thing that's mattered

is who they are on the inside.

-Oh, this is so cute.
-Ooh!

-Hey!
-[Jackelina laughs]

-Yes!
-Oh, my gosh.

Do I look okay?

You look great.

Thank you.

[Brett] You good. You good. You're good.

[Vanessa] Will their looks or insecurities

be too much for them to overcome?

[Irina] Wait, this is so cute.

[Zack] We're 100% gonna hang out
on that hammock.

[chuckles] Ah!

Their weddings are just four weeks away.

And now,
their love will be put to the test.

[Micah] Oh, my gosh I love it.

You know what I've been, like,
cracking up over? Our reveal.

I cannot stop thinking about it.

-[laughing] We were like so--
-It was perfect.

[laughing] I hugged you, and you were
like this. And I was like, "Are you okay?"

"Who is that? That's not Paul."

[laughing] Really? You were like, "No."

-Scientist.
-Yeah. All right.

Yeah, I don't think
I give scientist vibes, but… [chuckles]

Mnh-mnh. I feel like once we,
like, spend more time together, like…

I think so too.

…then I actually can pair, like,
what I know about you, like, to you.

Yeah. You gotta hear me
say everything again.

-[laughs] Yeah.
-Close my eyes and be like, "Paul?"

I actually did that.

I was realizing, like, I kind of played
your voice back with my eyes closed,

"Wait, that sounds--"

-[laughs] I know that girl.
-Yeah, that makes more sense.

[Micah] The whole experience,
it was kind of cutting through,

you know, like, all the other
weird parts of, like, dating.

-Yeah. Like the formalities and stuff.
-Yeah.

Or, like, "Are we
still talking to other people?"

Like, well,
I guess we were for a long time.

-I was like, "Are you done yet?"
-Yeah. You were pissed. [laughs]

No, I was talking to other people too.
I was just, like, over it.

I'm grateful to be here with you. I am.

-I am too.
-Like, legitimately.

-I'm so excited. I'm not gonna lie.
-[laughing]

-Are you?
-Yeah, I can't hide it.

Me too.

-[Chelsea] Wow.
-[Kwame chuckles] My goodness. This is…

This is beautiful.

-I love it. I love it. I love it.
-Mmm! Mm-mm-mm!

What's gonna be going down
in this pool, huh?

[Kwame laughing]

I've never felt this
in my entire life. Ever.

Like, I can't believe
this is happening to me.

I can't believe
this is happening to him, to us.

This is the best.

I wanna cherish this forever.
Really, I do.

What did you think?

Did you think
I was gonna be taller, shorter?

-What did you have in mind?
-You're exactly what I thought.

-Really?
-Like, stature-wise.

-Okay. You can have this--
-You seemed really positively.

You were like, I'm so excited.
"Now I'm so excited to go to Mexico."

-I was like, "What, you weren't before?"
-[laughing]

You weren't before?
You thought I was some ugly girl?

[laughing]

I did not say it like that.
I did not say it like that.

I mean, I was always
very excited to go to Mexico.

Even more now. Come on.

It worked out exactly how I needed it to.

That's why I love you.

[both] Oh.

[Kwame laughs]

[Chelsea] I love you too.

[both] Hmm.

[Kwame chuckles]

Babe, my makeup's gonna get
all over you this whole trip.

-[laughing] Whole trip.
-This whole trip.

Actually, probably for the rest
of our g*dd*mn life.

Whoo!

-Is this yours? 'Cause it has--
-[belches]

-I'm sorry. That was gross.
-Damn! Yeah, that's definitely.

Oh, yeah. I'm drinking out of yours.

Physically, Marshall, if I would have
saw him, I probably would have swiped,

because I've always gone for over 6'5",
tatted on both sides, tatted on the neck,

the fade, hooper, athletic, tall,

and Marshall is opposite of that.

-You wasted no time.
-[laughs]

-I'll nibble on my napkin after I'm done.
-Yeah, do that.

But this experiment has really shown me
that it's more than just what looks good.

Being with Marshall,
it's deeper than that.

Was I something, like,
up to par when you saw me?

-Hell yes.
-Yeah? Okay.

You are definitely the type of woman
that I would have gone for

out in the conventional dating world.

And that just makes it even
more sweeter that we… connected.

Deeper than the physical.

We did it right.

Do you want to wait until…

after the altar for, uh, intimacy?

Why would I do that?

I'm asking you a question.
It's a yes or no?

No!

When you buy a car,
you wanna drive in it first.

Thanks for planning
this super cute date for me.

-[Zack] You're welcome.
-[chuckles]

-You like me, huh?
-Mm-hmm. I do.

-[server] Finished?
-Yeah.

I'm gonna finish this last teeny bit.

-Thank you so much.
-[server] My pleasure.

Zack needs to eat
every little thing off his plate, so…

-Okay.
-Thank you.

I'm really into these plates.

-Thank you.
-Yeah, thank you.

Have you figured out what
cartoon character I remind you of yet?

Okay, it's something between…

Like, some kind of fictional character.

-Okay.
-Really, the eyes. This… [chuckles]

Yeah. I mean…

-Do I remind you of anyone?
-I'm sure all cartoon characters--

You know, you kind of look like Megan Fox.

I don't know.
Has anyone ever told you that? [laughs]

-No, actually. I've never heard--
-Really?

-Really? You've never gotten that before?
-[laughs]

[Irina] Thank you.

[Zack] What is this?

Cheesecake? Yum.

-Thank you very much.
-[server] My pleasure.

[Zack] So, before we were
talking about names.

-For our kids?
-Yeah.

-[Irina] I'm not--
-What about Godfrey?

-Eww!
-[Zack] Godric?

No. [chuckles]

Like Zion or Gid--

-Zion?
-[Irina] I do like Gideon.

I like, um, like, really unique names.

[Zack] Me too.
You know what's a really unique one?

-No.
-Goliath.

-Have you ever heard that name before?
-[both laughing]

[Zack] I was really nervous
actually after we met.

I didn't see the person
that I'd been talking to in the pods,

but it's nice to get to see you.

Who you are on the inside, on the outside.

I think there are some, like, hesitations.

Like, with not having,
like, sex before marriage.

I almost wanna respect each other
physically, as if, like, we were friends.

You respect me and care about me,

and I feel like you honor my boundaries,

instead of, like,
feeling like you wanna, like, push them

or, like, challenge them
or, like, are annoyed by them.

You're very like,
"Yes, look, hey, let's do this together,"

and it's more like a team
versus, like, being against each other.

It's something that's like,
"This is something we wanna do."

-You know?
-Yeah.

-Which I really appreciate.
-Yeah. I'm happy I found you.

Aren't you so lucky?

[laughs] Aren't we so lucky?

-[laughs] Aren't we so-- whoa! Kidding.
-I know.

I like that you're using "we."

-When I say what?
-When you talk about us.

-["Limitless" playing]
-"Us." "We."

-He's gone. It's gone.
-[Tiffany] He was big, right? Huge.

-That thing better not come up here.
-[chuckles]

Nah, it better not. Oh!

-Hoo-hoo!
-I mean, look at all this green.

You have to get used to something
just rolling up and saying "hi."

-I got a man that's gonna protect me.
-I got you. I got you.

[laughs]

In my mind, like,
just from talking to you in the pods,

and your voice
and some of the things you would say,

I'm like, "I have a picture,
not of what she looks like in person,"

but I'm like,
"I have an idea of her energy…

-…in person."
-Mm-hmm.

Which is like, "Oh, man. I know she has,
like, this beautiful smile," which you do.

[Tiffany chuckles]

And like, "I know she has, like, this real

authentic, loving, genuine,

positive, like, force."

"And everybody around her
is happier because of her."

And then I met you, and I'm like,

"She's the person
I thought she was gonna be."

[Tiffany] Wow.

I'm sorry. I'm speechless right now.

No, it feels right. I feel like
I've wanted to spend the night with you

since probably day two. You know?

-Or, like, day three.

You know, day three and a half.

at that point. No, I'm just kidding.

really endearing.

I find it attractive. It's one
of the things I like most about him.

It's so weird to have
such a strong emotional connection

with someone that I'm, like,
just, like, looking at for the first time.

In the past, he's not exactly
what I would have ran after,

but, like, him being in front of me
and him being the person I know is--

I mean, I find him really attractive.

Looking in your eyes, it is surreal
to be here and to be present.

It feels like something
that I've dreamt about

for way too long.

-And, like, it still feels like a dream.

how did you end up in my bed?

No.

"Oh, boy. Not this again."

-[laughing] Not this again.

I think it's crazy.
It's like, just yesterday,

it's felt like we went from zero
back to where we were at the end.

it was fully there, but, like,

I am surprised at how, like, comfortable

I feel around you, I would say.

[clicks tongue]

Too much. That was way too intimate.

-Too much?
-It was so fast and quick.

-You are ridiculous.
-You need to chill out.

[laughing]

-Whoo!
-[Zack] So, I'm curious.

In the physical side,
you say, like, that's a problem,

um, but I feel like that's what you want.

Usually, when I'm in relationships,

it does come easier. It's very, like,
I'm a very physical touch person,

but I feel like… with you
that's taking, like, longer to grow that

or, like, be as comfortable.

[Zack] Why do you think that is?

I don't know.

And you're my fiancé.
You're someone that I'm…

[laughing] …hopefully getting married to.

If you were like, "Irina, when you
touch me or hug me or hold my hand,

I get uncomfortable."
Like, I would be like, "What the…?"

I don't know if I'd be able to be
with you, to be completely honest.

When we were in the pods,
you were very, very affectionate.

And since we've gotten
into the real world,

I've noticed that… you have been
hesitant to express that affection.

In fact, uh, more often,
you kind of push me away with jokes.

Maybe 'cause I didn't see you,

and it was your voice
that I was connecting to.

Now it's a face and a body.

One of the reasons that I picked you is--

I was super affectionate.

Yeah. I think you're in your head.

-I think you're thinking…
-Yeah, that's true.

…about what's gonna happen
when we get to the altar,

and you are a little bit afraid of it.

-So I think you've already kind of--
-Yeah.

-I feel like you've already made up…
-My mind about it?

-Yeah.
-But it's weird.

[Zack] I feel like
that's why you're not as affectionate.

Because you've already decided in your
head, like, "Oh, it's not gonna work."

-We'd be going home if I felt that way.
-I'm just saying.

But I do, I realize, though,
like, that I am scared.

Like, I am scared of being affectionate.

Like, every time, like, even you say,
like, "Oh, you're so beautiful,"

and you look at me,
instead of being like, "Aw, baby!"

I'll be like… [shouts]
And I'll just, like, run away.

[laughs] That's actually what you do.

Maybe I'm insecure about,

like, my appearance, in a way,
or, like, I don't know,

or I don't think you're being honest,
so it makes me feel uncomfortable.

If there's anyone I could trust
with my feelings, it'd be you.

You're a good guy,
and you care about me for not,

like, my physical appearance,
but for my heart.

Again, that's why I keep going back
to maybe this is just gonna take time.

Maybe it's so new, like,
just being physical together

and seeing each other and, like, adding
this aspect to our relationship and…

Maybe it's-- I don't know.

[Zack] When we were in the pods,
you hated not being in control.

You hated it.
You hated it when you weren't in control.

When you had to choose between, of course.
Because you were talking to me and Bliss.

But you don't like that power dynamic
is what I'm saying.

And I think that the power dynamic
in your relationship

is really important to you.

I think you like feeling
like you have control.

I don't feel like
I don't have control with you at all.

I know, but that's my point.

Why do I feel like you're ga--
I know that's a really strong word to say,

but I feel like you're just, like,
trying to find me, like, as I'm the issue.

-Or I'm making the issue.
-I'm not. I'm not.

So, me choosing not to be affectionate
with you is me being in control.

-It's a theory.
-But I don't have the fun.

-'Сause I like being affectionate.
-Well, you haven't been very affectionate.

I know.
And I feel like maybe that hurts you.

[chuckles] That's why
you're saying these things.

No, I'm just trying to know
what's going on in your mind.

Yeah.

"Bye. See you later."

[Kwame laughs]

And that's hard because we both did
have really strong feelings, and, like…

-That sh*t wasn't easy.
-[Micah] I know.

-You know? It wasn't.
-[Micah] Of course I know.

-It wasn't easy for me either.
-Yeah.

[Micah] Like, at all. Like, at all.

Yeah, it was a tough moment. I-- I mean…

That wasn't me saying I didn't… want you.

It was me saying,
like, I needed to, like, think

and make sure I was making
the right decision for both of us

because I think that
there's a very good chance

I could have been, like, you till the end.

'Cause you gave me so much reassurance
and you made me feel so,

like, strong and comfortable.

And I have never felt, like, a foundation
that was so strong in my life.

There were points in time where, like,
I felt so sure about what we had going on.

[Micah] And I did too.
I want you to know that. I did too.

We're supposed to walk out of here
with our real connection, and…

That's what happened.

Like, Chelsea and stuff.

-Yeah.
-Like, me and her weren't the closest.

But as I start to see, like, her heart,

I feel like she's very,
very, very genuine.

-Sometimes it comes off a little much.
-[laughing]

As I'm sure you know,
but it's not a facade.

-It's not some sort of, like, show.
-Yeah. Yeah.

-It's who she is.
-She's being very real.

[Micah] That makes me happy
that you were able

to find what your real match was to be.

-Yeah.
-And that is it, right?

That is it.

I don't know. I just want you to know
if you ever wanna talk about anything.

I know you're really happy now.
I'm just, like, still here.

No, I think you're so great.

-I think you're so great too.
-[both chuckle]

[laughs] So, yeah.

[Kwame laughs]

-[Irina] Paul!
-How's it going?

-How are you?
-Oh, my gosh.

You're so dark. Dark hair
and dark features. I did not expect that.

-[Irina] Really?
-[Paul] Yeah.

You guys don't look alike at all.
He kept saying you guys look alike.

-A little bit. It's the hair…
-[Irina] I see the curlier hair.

Oh, how weird!

[laughs]

With Irina, I expected a lot,
and I definitely got a lot.

In regards to Irina's outfit,
I'm just trying to, like, keep my eyes

at, like, a horizon-level
sort of viewpoint.

[chattering]

-[Irina shouts] Zack!
-Oh, my God. You're the worst.

[laughing] Zack, don't kiss me on my mouth
when my mouth is open. Gimme a kiss cheek.

There you go.

-[laughing]
-[shouting]

["My Body" by Woolly playing]

We got a little mermaid! [shouts]

[shouting]

♪ My body… ♪

And so, Zack I feel like
is my type on paper.

Has, like, brown hair,
brown eyes, like, chiseled face.

Like, I really like dark features.

And the moment I saw Zack, it was like,
"I don't know who this man is."

And I was like, "Maybe it's just scary,
and it was a lot."

Like, hopefully it's gonna grow,
but I've noticed every time he does,

like, touch me, I get, like, major ick.

When he puts his arm around me at night,

I literally was like--
like, my heart stopped.

And I literally go… [squeals]

-But not, like, in an excited way.
-[laughs]

I wanna, like, relate to you in a way,
but it's always, like, so different.

How was it with you and Paul?

The thing with me and Paul is, like,

we both, like, had such an immediate
understanding as best friends.

Yeah, Paul's gorgeous.

-No, I know. Can I tell you this?
-He's so damn-- What the f*ck!

Can I tell you this though?
When I first saw Paul, I was like…

Hmm. Not my type.

Which feels so superficial.

Yeah.

[Irina] I feel like Paul is so attractive.

I'm just sensing like,
"Oh, like, there is a type I have."

And it just makes me realize
what I don't have with Zack.

It needs lime juice. Sorry. [chuckles]

Like, there's a difference between,
like, any other guy hugging me,

and there's Zack hugging me.

It's just not there,
and I don't know if it's gonna grow.

It worries me that I still don't have
this physical connection with him

even though I can see it
with other people.

[shouting]

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Jackelina splutters]

[women continue chattering]

♪ You got what I want… ♪

[Irina] I'm excited
for you to cook Russian food.

I'm excited too.
Like, so I got sh*t on for my borscht.

Um, apparently, I did it wrong.

I'm gonna be honest,
I don't know how to cook Russian food.

-Really? It's--
-If I saw you, I can help you out.

-'Cause of my mom. It will be fine.
-Get her to send us recipes.

-Gonna dab me up?
-[Paul] Russian-style. Yeah.

Wait. You gotta do the g*n. Wait.
The finger g*ns at the end. Are you ready?

[both laugh]

[grunts]

♪ I like the way that you do it
Got what I want ♪

I wanna be like, "f*ck it."
I don't care about any of that with Micah.

But, like, it's weird
seeing her in person, bro.

It's weird.

-Look, Chels is my girl. Chels is my baby.
-Okay.

I told Chelsea, "I'mma see her.
It's not gonna bother me at all."

Like…

It's hard, you know.

Like, I feel for her. I do.

She hugged me earlier,
and it was just, like, it was very strange

getting that body to the voice
and the mind and the heart and the soul.

-Hmm.
-As soon we started talking, I just like--

-I start… You know?
-Mm-hmm.

[shouting]

Like, holding her was very tough.

I really had a thing for her.

-I know.
-[chuckles] You know?

Do you remember that moment when
Chelsea was trying to talk about Kwame?

-And you were like, "Wait, what?"
-[laughing]

"You mean the guy that was gonna
propose to Micah last night?"

[laughing]

And she goes…

"Anyways!"

This is a girl that I used to go to sleep
thinking about, wake up thinking about.

You-- You meant a lot to me.

-Yeah.
-I meant a lot to you.

-[Chelsea] Baby, yo!
-Baby, what's up?

Could you bring me a little--
when you're done with that conversation?

-[Kwame] Yeah.
-A little guac and chips?

[Kwame] I got you.

And it just ended.
Like that. Like, instantly.

Kwame!

Kwame, me and Micah would love tequila
sh*ts with salt. Would you grab us some?

Oh. Oh, would you? That's great.

You should get off of the floaty
and get it yourself.

[laughs]

-[Kwame laughing] So--
-[Brett] Savage! Savage!

Meanwhile, Tiff is like chips and guac.

Tiffany, will you get us two tequila sh*ts
since Kwame is being salty right now?

-Five tequila sh*ts! For all of us girls.
-[Irina] I want two sh*ts. Okay.

"Since Kwame's salty right now,
get them two tequila sh*ts."

[hip-hop b*at playing]

[chattering]

[man] Hey, guys!

-Why'd you deny us sh*ts?
-Yeah, we haven't had sh*ts yet.

-Oh! Oh, my gosh.
-Whoa!

[Kwame laughing]

Like, big time.

-Um-- Oh, we're taking sh*ts?
-[Irina] Where are your guys' sh*ts?

Yes. The ones that you didn't bring us.

-Yeah, I know.
-Here, you can have mine.

-Oh, look at you!
-[Irina] I'll get a new one.

[Micah] That's what
being a friend looks like.

Oh, my God.

-Hey!
-That's for not getting me one.

Wow, look, you're such a good friend.

-[laughs] I know. Okay. Cheers.
-[Kwame laughs]

-Hey, Micah, where you going?
-Micah, a sh*t for--

[Micah] Wait! Down here!

A sh*t for a failed proposal. [laughs]

[laughing]

-Failed proposal?
-[Micah] I'm just--

[Brett] Whoa!

[laughing]

[dramatic music plays]

[continues laughing]

Whoo!

I'm just kidding.

Oh, he's salty.

[Micah] Kwame, come here.

[laughing]

Why is Kwame so mean?

Kwame's mean.

I do not like guys like that.

-"Dude, chill. You are salty as f*ck."
-[chuckles]

Yo. Can I talk to you for a sec?

-Yeah.
-[Kwame] All right.

[Paul] I'll get one as well.

[Kwame grunts]

Dude, um…

-Are you--
-Hold on.

-Feeling weird about that comment?
-Yes. [chuckles]

-I feel really--
-Really f*cked up.

You should. You should.

Like, why did you say that?

First of all, take it down a notch,

because how I am is never malicious.

-And you know me.
-Mm. I'm trying to.

You think I'm someone that's malicious?

-That is, like-- That is really f*cked up.
-It felt like a jab.

-It felt like--
-A jab.

"To a failed proposal?"
Like, dude, that's-- Come on, dude.

That is not okay.

I thought it'd be funny.

I didn't appreciate that.

I care about you. I told you that
from the moment I saw you.

I was like, "Kwame!"

So, I would never say
something negative towards you.

Don't make jokes like you did.

-Like, that's f*cked up.
-I do apologize for that.

-Because--
-'Cause I still care about you. I do.

[Tiffany] How you feeling?

I'm okay.

-[Micah] You know how I feel about you.
-[Kwame] That's what pisses me off.

Like, Micah, like,
I think so highly of you.

I really do, regardless of how
our last conversation was.

This is our first time seeing each other.

Hey, look at me.

Yes.

-Let's go back to who we are as ourselves.
-[Kwame] Mm-hmm.

-Yeah.
-[Micah] With other people involved.

Okay.

-Me and you are very open with each other.
-Yeah.

I mean, I fell in love
for you through a pod.

We did feel so strongly about each other.

How I felt with you was so genuine.

I remember on the first day
I walked out of there and was, "Kwame!"

-[Kwame laughs]
-Like, "Did I just meet my husband?"

I felt like that.

-Mm-hmm.
-Everything was genuine.

Every single thing was genuine.

Every single moment.

And do I feel like that love
that I felt for you was love for you,

like, in your heart,
and love for you as your family,

and love for you as a person? Yes.

It was absolutely genuine.

Let me ask you this.
Would you be upset if Marshall and I

had a 20-minute conversation like
how Kwame and f*cking what's-her-name?

-Kwame's in love with you, bro.
-[Tiffany] Okay. I think--

Why do they have to have two?
Why do they keep going?

-[Jackelina] Let me tell you.
-[Tiffany] There's no--

[Jackelina] I would never in my lifetime
step out of bounds.

Then turn behind you and look.

[chattering]

-Yeah. Yeah.
-Child, I would behead him.

-I would behead him.
-Yeah.

There's obviously a whole lot going on.

Like a whole f*cking lot going on.

I know. Yeah.

And, like, there's a whole lot
of factors playing into it, you know.

Okay, that's enough.

-I have to stop it. That's enough.
-[Tiffany] No, you're fine.

-I feel you.
-Go stop that.

I don't wanna be-- I just don't wanna--
You know, I want them to hash it out.

It's disrespectful to the person
that she decided to commit to as well.

-[Jackelina] Who's her person?
-[Tiffany] I don't know.

-Where is he?
-Was it Paul?

[Tiffany] Where the f*ck is he?

I mean, I know this isn't normal.
Like, nothing that we're doing is normal.

[chuckles] Nothing.

I just want you to know that,
like, no matter how things turn…

-Or how things go, like…
-Mm-hmm.

…the reason why I was so just so, like,

with you in the pods is
I love who you are as a person.

-Yeah.
-And whatever happens, I will be here.

Like, I will. I'll still be here.

Yeah.

-Like, I really will. [chuckles]
-Yeah. [chuckles]

I was all-in with you.

I was literally all-in with you
the whole time.

Yeah.

I don't know.

It's really nice seeing you though.

-I know. It's nice seeing you too.
-[Kwame] Yeah.

[chuckles]

[Micah] I do love you.

You're wonderful.

[Kwame chuckles]

["You Know How to Hurt Me" playing]

I don't wanna be here no more.
I'm going home.

-Bye!
-No! 'Cause you go home, I'm going home.

Man, I'm not gonna take
this sh*t for nothing.

-[both laughing]
-[Micah] What?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

Nothing.
