12x26 - All or Nothing

Post by bunniefuu »

[theme music playing]

[woman] Ow!

-[Arissa] This is the true story…
-[all] True story…

[Frank] Of seven strangers…

[Trishelle] Picked to live in a casino…

[Alton] Work together
and have their lives taped…

[Brynn] To find out what happens…

-[Steven] When people stop being polite…
-[Irulan] And start getting real.

[all] The Real World: Las Vegas!

-[Arissa] Baby, yeah!
-[all laughing]

-[car horn honking]
-[gentle instrumental music playing]

Where did the, uh,
"just hooking up" thing go wrong?

It went horribly wrong.

-[Trishelle] What are y'all doing tonight?
-I talked to Steven about you.

[Trishelle] Oh, my God.
What was said? Bad or good?

Um… I don't know.

Doesn't-- That doesn't sound good, though.

I look at Trishelle now. And she's like,
looking at you with adoration.

And I'm like, "What the hell happened?"

Trishelle and I
have never even been on a date.

All we do is have sex,
um, and that's really all I want from her.

[Irulan] It was a nice talk,
'cause we were like…

You know, he came
and laid down on the couch,

and we were sort of bonding.
We talked about you.

And we talked about you
and different things and whatever.

[Trishelle] He's confused.
Is that what he said?

Mm-hmm.

Like I told him, I was just like,
"I see what's going on here."

You know, that there's a little bit
of unfinished business.

[Frank] Tell me exactly what happened.
I want to hear it.

We were, like, cuddling
and I just started saying things.

I think I actually might've said
that I love her again.

I don't love Trishelle.
I don't want to date Trishelle.

I don't want to hurt Trishelle's feelings
or play with her emotions anymore.

She's thinking the possibility of love

or a relationship exists
when it really doesn't.

He's giving her false hope.

[Irulan] I see the way that you guys look
at one another, and I just think that…

You know?
And he was just like…

He was just, like, after being with you,

like, he didn't think
that he had any feelings.

[Frank] You're a bad person.

I told her that! I am a bad person.
And I am not to be trusted.

The point is, Trishelle's a great person
who doesn't deserve to be hurt.

So you need to tell her
you're not in love with her,

you don't wanna commit to her,
and you don't want anything

-else to come of it.
-Yeah.

I got the impression that he doesn't know
what's gonna happen beyond being here.

-[Trishelle] Mm-hmm.
-But, for now, it's like…

You know? So I don't know
if that's a good thing or a bad thing,

but he did say that he was confused.

[Frank] You have to come clean.

[Steven] I'm trying to figure out
how I can do this,

where she doesn't hate me.
Is that possible?

It's gonna involve a lot of lying.

[music concluding]

-[upbeat dance music playing]
-[indistinct chatter]

I like that we're friends.
I like waking up with you.

I like going to sleep with you.

Do we have any sort of future?
I don't know. I don't know.

It's really hard to look
at Trishelle's face

and say how I really feel about her

because I know
it's gonna make her feel bad.

-Cool?
-No, I'm not cool. I don't know.

[Steven mutters indistinctly]

-Why are you so mad?
-I'm not mad.

I'm just… I don't know.
Like, I'm so confused right now.

What are you confused about?

About us.

[Steven] I think after our conversation,

she'll start dating someone
and cut me off.

That would probably be the best thing
for everybody.

If anything, it'll get me off my a*s,
and I'll go find a girl outside the house.

Steven is just as confused as I am.

So I'm not gonna take anything
that he says to heart.

It's okay. I'll live.

-What?
-It's okay, I'll live.

[Irulan panting]

[Austin] It's, like,
impossible to get my mind off you.

Soon.

-[Mikey] Alton? Irulan?
-[Trishelle] They're in the confessional.

Alton and Irulan are having sex
in the confessional.

[Austin] I know. It's gonna be sweet.

[Alton and Irulan moaning, panting]

[Mikey] That's unfortunate.
I can't go in there.

[Trishelle] I don't think
you wanna go in there.

[Mikey] No, I don't,
but I'll yell through the door, though.

[Trishelle] Yell through the door at them.

[Mikey] Guys!
We're all waiting on the two of youse.

I'm just sitting on the phone
having an innocent conversation

with Austin and, all of a sudden…

Alton and Irulan are having sex,

and I can hear 'em
when I'm on the phone.

[Irulan gasps]

[Mikey] Frickin' horndogs, man.

Oh, Domino's.

-Is that Meat Lover's?
-Okay.

-No, it's bacon and onion and pepperoni.
-Oh, he'll k*ll me.

But I'm gonna break my religion
and have a slice. [giggles]

-Arissa, I need one buffalo wing.
-No.

-[Mikey] Uno?
-[Arissa] No!

[Irulan screaming]

[chuckles]

That was a good confessional.
Don't forget to turn it off

-and take out the tape.
-[Irulan] Cool.

-[Mikey] How was your little conversation?
-It was good.

♪ Yeah ♪

[song concluding]

[Alton]

[smooches]

I'm trying very,
very hard to sort of forgive myself

and forgive him for things
that have happened in the past between us.

I just wanna be with Irulan,
and she doesn't understand that.

She still questions and stuff.

It's difficult for me to forget.

Like, I understand it, but… Like, move on.

[Alton]

[Irulan] I don't. I question your a*s.

[Alton]

[sighs] I just don't want
to get hurt again.

[Alton]

[Irulan] I would literally k*ll you.

[upbeat jazz music playing]

Like, I don't see anything happening
out of these two girls is my point and--

[Trishelle] Why are y'all going out
with them? Who asked them out?

Uh, Steven. He set it up.

Frank's got a date. I've got a date.

We're going out
to have a really good time.

I came down, he's like,
"We're going out with these girls."

I was like, "Cool."

I'm jealous.
I don't want them to go on a date.

[Frank] I don't see anything happening
with these girls.

[chuckles]
Well, obviously Steven does.

For Steven to take a girl out,
she would have to be

a really, really sweet girl.
And I just have not met anybody

who's good enough for him out here yet.

The girl's like,
"Yeah, take off your shirt."

And she, like, ripped off my shirt
and held it down for me.

Not cool. Well, at least I know
that y'all are going out with skanks.

So I ca-- So I shouldn't be jealous.

[Steven] We're not dating these girls.

[Trishelle] You're going on a date
with them.

Frank and I have given up on the whole
"finding somebody to date in Vegas."

I'm so pissed. I was like, "Steven, hello,
like, you have not taken me anywhere."

-They asked us to go on a date.
-[Trishelle] They asked you?

I don't even want to think
about what a date

with Trishelle would look like. Um…

'Cause it hasn't happened,
and it's not going to happen.

-They made me feel pretty.
-I'd make you feel pretty every day.

-Then you shouldn't care.
-[Trishelle] I do care.

I just don't want you to go out
with anybody else.

[upbeat music playing]

Frank and I have been invited
to Coyote Ugly tonight.

[crowd cheers]

We're supposed to meet the skanks
at 10:15. But they are late for the date.

♪ When you drink tequila
Here's the golden rule ♪

♪ One shot of gold
Will make you think you're cool ♪

♪ Two more shots
Is just a little too much ♪

♪ The whole damn bottle
Ain't nearly enough ♪

Whoo!

[Frank] My attitude is live it up,

'cause I've only got a couple more
days left, so screw it.

I'm gonna have some more fun
and embarrass myself.

[Donna] You don't have any underwear on,
do you, Sarah?

I never wear underwear. You know that.

What? Prove it.

I'm sorry. That's not enough to convict.

[Sarah] There's nothing.
Yeah, like I'm gonna whip out my [bleep]

-in front of everyone.
-[Frank] I'm kidding. That's enough.

-I don't think so.
-[Frank] I'm sorry.

One kiss from me,
and you'll be real, like, trust me.

-You're the one missing out.
-I've never been here before.

A thong is like a little piece
of tissue over a filet mignon.

I'm not 22. I'm 30.

No, like, you know
what the hell is underneath that.

I-- I, last year, um…

It's a full-service date.
I've gotta kiss the girl.

-[Steven] Just cash?
-Yeah.

-[Steven] We have a credit card.
-Oh, my God.

You cheap [bleep]. Cheap [bleep].

I can't even believe you.

-[Donna] They won't take credit cards?
-[Frank] No.

And you're laughing.
You think this is [bleep] funny?

I think Steven and, um…

-Sarah?
-Who?

Sarah? Is that her name?
Wait. You're Sarah.

-I'm Sarah.
-Wait. What's her name?

-Dana.
-Donna.

Donna. Went up to our room.
So we'll go check that out.

-[upbeat electronic music playing]
-[indistinct chatter]

There's some girls here.

When I see Steven with other girls,
I hate it. Like, I can't stand it.

I feel like he's just twisting
a knife in my heart.

[Steven] This is my roommate Brynn.

-[Sarah] Hi. My name is Sarah.
-[Brynn] Hi.

-[Donna] Hi.
-[Sarah] This is Donna.

[Donna] Wherever you are.

-[Brynn] Hey, nice to meet you guys.
-She's cool.

[Brynn]

[Steven] This is Trishelle.

-She's one of our roommates.
-[Trishelle] Hi.

-[Donna] Hi.
-[Sarah] Hi.

[Steven] Trishelle has
what you would call a nice a*s.

[Trishelle] Stop!

-Hey, what's your name?
-[Donna] Donna.

-Donna.
-[Sarah] Sarah, nice to meet you.

Oh, hey, nice to meet you.

I don't think she likes either
of the little New Yorker girls very much.

[Steven] You want to see a really
disgusting guy's room?

-[Sarah] Oh, my God. That's my fantasy.
-[Trishelle] Dude, that's [bleep] up!

Take me to your room.

[Frank] So,
it may not be the most beautiful,

glamorous room in the place,
but it sure smells good.

[Donna] It sure is the stinkiest room.

[Frank] But, no,
it smells good, doesn't it?

It smells like someone took a [bleep]
inside one of the drawers.

[Frank] They might have.

Frank! Stop it.
Make him stop. He's like making out.

He's making out with her?

Come over here.

-[Sarah] I want to go home. I'm tired.
-[Donna] Let's [bleep] get out of here.

Hello. You want to go?

Here, let's just [bleep] go down.
I wanna go down. I wanna go down.

-Just get me a [bleep] cab.
-[Frank] Cool. Okay.

-Let's just get on with this.
-Let's go.

[music fading]

They were cute. But they were clearly…

-Drama?
-[Trishelle] No, these girls that Frank

brought home, they were scarier than--

Hey, Steven brought them too,
all right? [chuckles]

Well, yeah, and at least
he was smart enough to run away.

[Frank] I just hung out
with them all night.

I'm not sleeping with anyone in this…
[laughing] All night.

-I just went back to their room.
-They were Hooters waitresses!

[laughs]

-[Frank] They were nice wholesome girls.
-Yes.

Yeah, wholesome in the chest area.

You had that girl call me a b*tch.

-Frank!
-Oh, no, no, no.

She wasn't--
She never called you a b*tch.

She called you a [bleep]-blocker.
She's like, "That girl in the red shirt."

"I totally could've hooked up
with that guy."

Or something like that.
And I was, like, "Oh, [bleep]."

-Could have [bleep] up with Steven?
-Yeah, yeah.

-Whatever. [chuckles]
-[Frank] Yeah.

[mild tempo electro music playing]

-Hey! How are you? Good!
-[Alton] Good. How are you?

Tatiana, she's, um, a dancer over at Raw.

-Did you just get here?
-Yeah, we just came

-downstairs right now.
-Yeah?

-We were upstairs to drink.
-I like this place.

-I like it a lot, very nice.
-[Alton] It's really nice.

-So, did you ever go rollerblading?
-Yeah, of course.

-I can't believe you.
-[Alton] Why?

-You never called me.
-[Alton] Well, I lost your number

-that night. I lost your number, yo.
-Do you have it? Write it down.

-'Cause I lost yours too.
-Do you have a pen?

I don't have a pen. Do you have a pen?

-No. Let's go to the bar and get one.
-All right, let's go to the bar.

What?

[Alton] He said Trishelle's gonna be here.

Yeah, Trishelle has this section.

-Hi, what's your name?
-[Tatiana] I met you.

-[Irulan] You did?
-[Alton] She's one of the girls

doing the flying trapeze over at Raw.

-At Raw?
-[Tatiana] Obviously you don't remember.

-[Alton] Acrobatics.
-What's your name?

-[Alton] Tatiana.
-Tatiana. Irulan.

-Sorry.
-It's okay.

What's up with the pen?

[Irulan] You're stealing my pen
to allow this person

to write their number down
in front of my freakin' face.

I'm gonna give it off to my friend.

[Tatiana] I shouldn't give it to you
if you're gonna lose it.

-What's the point?
-[Alton] I do not plan on calling Tatiana.

I'm taking her number because,
for one thing, I don't feel like,

you know, telling her,
"No, I don't want your phone number."

"I'm never gonna call you."
For another thing, it's just kinda nice.

I mean, it's not hurting me
to take her number.

Yeah, you're just so used
to getting all the numbers

-…the hard way.
-Wrong.

Do you remember our conversation
at the club?

Yeah. I totally remember.

[Tatiana] So why are you telling me wrong?

That was you doing all the talking.

You didn't mind. Didn't seem to mind.

[loud club music playing]

Did I just do that? You know,
like, dang. Well, here's another one.

Irulan.

Oh, you took my pen
to get somebody's number.

-No.
-In front of my face.

Have you ever heard of,
"No, thank you,

I don't need your number,
I'm not gonna call you"?

"Look at this fly-a*s lady
who's standing right at the bar,

-that's my piece"?
-Get out of here.

Have you ever heard that?

[indistinct chatter]

-See?
-Ooh-ooh!

-No, sir. No, sir.
-Am I wrong?

-No, you're not wrong.
-Aw. Oh boy.

-I feel like a [bleep] idiot, man.
-Why?

Because I would've asked you--

Why? Because of everything
that's happened,

why does he feel like an idiot
because of everything that's happened?

Because of all the weird positions
that I've been put in because of you!

Listen, listen. Shh--

Because I have feelings for you,
and you can't [bleep]

like, not talk
to a million girls, like, everywhere.

She's like, "Do you remember
the conversation we had?"

And, "You didn't seem to mind."

Everything that has happened
has made me feel so insecure.

She was talking about…

-We'll talk about it later.
-Always an explanation, right?

I'm used to being free as a bird
to do whatever I want to do.

I'm not gonna be that guy,
just being like, "Oh, baby, I'm…"

"Can I leave the house?" You know?
And I don't want to feel that way.

But at the same time,
I don't want to feel like…

I don't want you to feel
that I'm doing anything other than you,

or anything other
than just what I want to do,

-as in rock climbing--
-I just don't want to talk

-about this anymore.
-No, why?

-Why? Why?
-I don't, I don't.

-I'm done. I'm ready for bed.
-Okay.

[music concluding]

-[somber indie song playing]
-[Irulan crying]

I have feelings for him,
and that's the reason

why things hurt so bad.

-[song concluding]

-[Alton] You okay?
-[Irulan] Yup.

-[Alton] Really?
-[Irulan] Mm-hmm.

I'm mulling over what you said
to me in the confessional.

It makes you feel weird, or whatever,
to want me to know where you are

with two girls that I don't know,

like, okay, fine.
If that's the way that you really feel,

like you need to be free,
you need to be doing whatever

with, like, whatever girls,
like, then you do that.

Like, but I can't, like--
I can't be a part of that.

[sighs]

I don't know
if it's gonna work out for us.

[Alton sighs]

[Irulan] This isn't you. And this isn't--

-[Alton] Baby, I'm not--
-[Irulan] I hear you. I hear you.

[Alton] I'm not used to checking in.

-[Irulan] I'm not saying--
-[Alton] I'm not saying that

you're making me.
Baby, you can't make me--

You can't make me do anything.
You didn't ask me to do anything.

I can only choose it for myself.

I can only make myself do what
I want to do, you know?

I'm in love with Irulan.
And I definitely want a future with her.

What I wanna do is make you happy.
And what I wanna to do is be with you.

We've decided that in the little
bit of time that we have left,

we just, you know,
want to spend it together.

Me and Irulan are in a relationship, like,
more of a committed relationship now.

[soft electronic music playing]

[Frank] Trishelle is my friend
and I care about her.

I don't want Trishelle hurt.

So I think the best thing to do
is for her to stop sleeping with Steven.

Find someone else,
because this isn't working out.

I'm gonna do my best
to avoid any one-on-one contact

with Trishelle
for the rest of the time here.

Steven is being really pissy to me,

and he's kind of, like,
giving me the cold shoulder.

[Trishelle] I love you, Steven.
I love you.

-[upbeat music playing]
-[indistinct chatter]

[Trishelle] But, honestly, tonight
you've been treating me like [bleep].

[Steven] Every time I look at Trishelle,
I see the big, huge mistake that I made.

I can't really be around her, man,
I just-- It's just a bad idea.

["Never" playing]

[Steven] I definitely was sleeping
with Trishelle for the wrong reasons,

not because I cared about her,
but just simply to be sleeping

with her to have some
sort of physical affection.

And, um, that's really not right to her.

♪ Well, we never made it

♪ And it's all because

♪ Your way… ♪

[Alton] Like, what do you want out
of that? Do you want, like--

I care about Steven more than anything.
I was just like, "Are you kidding me?"

-Like, I can't deal with this.
-[Alton] "Could we be any more

-of a walking contradiction" or like--
-Yes! I'm like, "I can't deal with this."

I think I fall for guys too quickly,
and I think for the wrong reasons.

If this how he wants it, okay.

But he's gonna be eating it
when he sees me with somebody else.

He'll be eating his [bleep].
He'll be like… [chomps]

[Trishelle] I understand he's divorced
and he's scared or whatever.

But, like, I can't do this.

[Alton] I think Steven and Trishelle
are gonna just be friends.

Right now, they seem--

They're not ready to be honest
with each other

-about their feelings.
-Alton, I have never,

never been the chaser, okay?

And I'm not gonna start now.
I am not gonna chase Steven.
