12x28 - Leaving Las Vegas

[bunniefuu]

[theme music playing]

-[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]

Gosh, y'all. We're packing.

Y'all, I'm getting sad. [chuckles]
Oh, my God.

[Frank] I agree, Trishelle.

It's hitting me now that
we're actually gonna move out,

and we're not gonna be living
together anymore.

[upbeat music playing]

Oh, man.

[Alton] What's wrong?

[inhales] No, I just--
You know how it is when you, like,

you go away for a while,

and you realize that
nothing has changed back where you are,

-and you have changed so much?
-[Alton] Yes. I was talking about that…

I'm very nervous about going home.
I do not want to go home.

[Irulan] I'm gonna do some more packing.

My greatest fear
with going home is just getting stuck,

and that I don't wanna be living
at home with my mother,

going to work at a place
that I'm miserable at,

stuck with unnecessary drama.
Always drama. Never not drama.

[music fades out]

[indistinct chatter]

I don't know what this is.

It's good.

I, honestly--
I don't wanna say goodbye to Alton.

He's a part of my life now.

There's no reason to be afraid
of the possible, inevitable, or whatever

of the future.

She's going to the East Coast,
I'm going to the West Coast.

But I don't think
that it's gonna end here.

I remember when I was little,
and I would lay in bed,

and I would play the wish game.

-"If I had three wishes… If I had--"
-[Alton] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I picked to wish
for three of the same wishes.

Three of the same wish?

Hey, it's a big wish, man.

I wish I could just marry Irulan.

[upbeat music playing]

[telephone ringing]

Hello.

[Arissa's mother] This is Arissa's mother.

Where is my daughter?

[imitating Arissa's mother]
Your daughter is, uh-- She's not here.

[Arissa's mother] Don't even tell me
this b*tch is not available.

-[chuckles] Okay.
-[Arissa's mother] Where is she right now?

-I don't know.
-[Arissa's mother] Don't piss me off

'cause I am not in a good mood right now.

You don't sound like
you're in a good mood.

[Arissa's mother] Whatever,
'cause I'm gonna k*ll that b*tch.

Are you really pissed off,
or are you trying to make me laugh?

[Arissa's mother] I don't even care!

Do-- I don't care.

-Okay.
-[Arissa's mother] Where is Arissa?

'Cause I'm gonna k*ll that b*tch.
Where is she?

Are you drunk right now?

[Arissa's mother]
Don't even piss me off, okay?

If I'm drunk, you'll know.

How much have you had tonight to drink?

[Arissa's mother] I'm gonna kick your a*s.

Don't even try to [bleep] with me, okay?

What's your name?

-Steven.
-[chuckles]

[Arissa's mother] Are you the good-looking
white boy with the blonde hair?

-Yeah. [chuckles]
-[laughs]

One reason that Arissa has changed
and was able to change

is because she was away
from her family.

-Your mom called.
-[Arissa] What'd she say?

She called you.
She wants you to call her back.

I hope she doesn't go back
to Boston and fall back into her own life

with her family
that doesn't seem too supportive.

It seems like all they want to do
is just beat her down.

-[line ringing]
-[indistinct chatter]

[Arissa on voicemail] Hi, this is me.

[telephone beeping]

[line ringing]

-[Robert] Hello.
-Hey, do you know where my mom is?

[gloomy music playing]

[Robert sighing] No.

Oh, she called here.

[Robert] What time did she call?

I don't know
because I was shopping, but--

[Robert] What was it,
an off-the-wall message?

Uh, yeah.
Well, one of my roommates explained to me

that she was trashed.

I would give every material thing I have
to not get on that plane and go home.

Nothing has changed.
Nothing. Not one thing.

It's the same thing constantly.

[Robert] She's not that bad
a person. She really isn't.

I've seen worse.

Maybe when you're home, things'll be--

She'll be better.

Am I petrified right now
that I'm gonna get stuck?

Oh, my God.

I know what it's like
to have peace and quiet,

and I know
what it's like to have no drama.

I'm not going back
to being around that [bleep].

I don't know where I'm going.

-I don't want to live in Boston.

[Alton] You don't?

No, I would rather
you pull off my toenails

with a pair of rusty pliers,

painstakingly slow, and then light each
and every one of my toes on fire.

[Alton] There's nowhere cool
you can go to in Boston?

Like, you don't have any girls
that you trust out there?

That don't live at home
with their six kids and their mom?

[Alton] I just hope Arissa understands
that she creates her own destiny.

She's not stuck anywhere.

To answer your question,
there's nobody cool.

-[Frank] Drop it already?
-[Irulan] Drop your b*mb.

-[Frank] Oh, drop your b*mb.
-[Arissa] Dropped it.

[Frank] Now what do we do?

-[Trishelle] I wanna make a toast.
-[Brynn] I wanna make a toast too.

This is to good times and to bad,
and the friendships that we've made

and the memories that we've shared.

And I will always remember everybody.

[glasses clinking]

[Irulan] Good, cheers.

I just wanna say thanks
for everyone listening to me

and putting up with my BS

and every time I said
I wanted to go home and everyone saying,

"Just leave," 'cause I really needed that.

[Brynn and Arissa laugh]

It's a really good feeling
to sit down with my roommates

for one last time and have dinner.

And I'm very,
very glad that I stayed till the end.

You all mean so much to me,
and I'll never forget any of you.

-[Trishelle] Cheers to that.
-[indistinct chatter]

I know, I'm an only child and everything,

but I feel like being with you guys
for so long,

I really feel like
my family is that much bigger.

Like, I love all you guys.
It's been so much fun.

Dinner is just a love fest.

We're all looking
around the table at one another,

and all the arguments
and the fights have just melted away.

-[laughs]
-Yeah!

I am gonna miss
the way that you try to protect me

from the worst of myself

and from a lot of my actions
when they're bad.

And you. Playing the violin for me.

[sniffles]

We are the only two people
on this planet. [sniffles]

And I will always, always,
always have mad love…

-[Trishelle chuckling]
-…for you. [sniffles]

For the rest of my days, okay?

-[Brynn] To seven strangers.
-[all laughing]

[Alton] Seven strangers
picked to live in a casino.

[Trishelle] I say that we all
kiss each other tonight.

I think that's a good idea
because I have never kissed a Black woman.

[Trishelle] Oh, my God.
Arissa and Steven have to kiss tonight.

-We should just do it right now.
-[Arissa] You know what, Steven--

Do it, I want to take a picture.

-Arissa wants it.
-[laughs]

-I don't want to.
-She wants to kiss me really bad.

[Alton] Here, brother,
now do one of these.

[women screaming]

[Alton] Oh, my God.

-[Irulan] Oh, my God.
-[Brynn laughing]

-[all cheering]
-[Alton] Wow!

[Irulan] Your earring is off. No! [laughs]

[all laughing]

Arissa, you're a very good kisser.

-[Arissa] Thank you.
-[Irulan squealing]

He's stunned right now. Stunned.

I don't think
Arissa's ever gonna be the same.

And I hope he doesn't start
following me around.

[upbeat techno music playing]

-[Irulan] Cheers. Come on, cheers.
-[indistinct chatter]

It's, like, I know, I feel like
I have to say goodbye to everybody.

I met this girl here named Michelle.

Michelle is a really,
really, really good person.

We have spent a lot of time talking.

Do you know
how hard it is to say goodbye?

No one said you had to go home.

She's just like,
"Why don't you just stay?"

"Just at least till you figure out
what it is

that you really, really want to do."

"Why not?"

["Hot Hot Heat" playing]

[Arissa] I like this.

If I stay here for the summer,
I can make money,

and I can go
to wherever I need to go.

Michelle, I want to move in.

We'll figure out
what the hell we really feel

once we go home.

And while we're here,
if you want, just love me.

My stomach is in knots.
I lay awake at night

thinking a million different things
because I have no idea.

I have no idea what's gonna happen.

She knows
that there's a strong possibility for her

to get back with Gabe.

[Irulan whispers]
You think that I wanna go back to Gabe.

-That's what you think…
-[Alton] No.

…and that's the way that you act.

I do have this--
The feeling of impending doom.

[Irulan] I can't tell you enough times,
I can't convince you.

-You just have to believe me.
-[Alton] Show me.

[Irulan] I have.

[Alton] How the hell can you show me here?

Just playing boyfriend and girlfriend
until we get home.

-Show me.
-[Irulan sighs]

-[inhales sharply]
-[Alton] I'll show you.

I really, really don't want to lose him.
I really don't want to lose him.

[Alton] You're so crazy.

[Irulan crying]

[Alton] I'm kidding,
I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

[slow jazz music playing]

♪ Whoo! Hoo! ♪

Today is our last day in our house.

Everybody's packed up,
and we're moving out.

[upbeat music playing]

[Alton] Irulan told me the other night,
"Let's do it. Let's make it work."

"Somehow, some way, let's just figure out
a way to make it work."

I'll see you tomorrow.

-Tomorrow!
-Tomorrow.

-Are you really gonna come tomorrow?
-Mm-hmm.

I'm flying out to New York
the day after me and Irulan say goodbye,

so I'll be seeing Irulan out there,

so I'm pretty excited. [chuckles]

-[knocking on door]
-[bellman] Bellmen.

[Brynn chuckles]

-[bellman] Hello.
-Hello.

-You guys ready to go, huh?
-Yeah.

[Trishelle] Who's that?

-[Brynn] The bellman.
-We got something for you

from George Maloof.

[Brynn] Frank, bring it over here.

[Steven] Okay, you can do it here.

[Frank] "Dear roommates,
I hope you have enjoyed your stay

-at the Palms Casino Resort."
-[Arissa] Yeah.

"To make your last night here
a special one…" [chuckles]

"…a helicopter tour of Las Vegas
has been arranged for you."

-[Alton] Cool!
-No!

-[Brynn squeals]
-[Steven] Let's go.

[Trishelle] Bye, house.

I'm counting heads.

-[Trishelle] Bye, clock.
-Don't look back.

[upbeat rock music playing]

Bye!

-[Alton] You know what?
-Come back and see us, Alton.

[indistinct chatter]

-Smile and go home.
-[chuckles]

-[Steven] Let's go, guys.

-I got butterflies.

-[Brynn] Seriously.
-[sighs]

-I don't wanna go first.
-And as he says that,

look what pulls up.

[Frank] I think I'm going really soon.

[Trishelle] Stop it. I'm gonna cry. Quit.

[Alton] Who is that for?
Is that for Alton?

-Who are you here for?
-Uh, Brynn.

[gasps]

You guys wanna hear a joke?

Could mean somebody's going.

-Is it me? Is it me?
-[Trishelle] Is it?

[Frank] Oh. [chuckles]

[Steven] Brynn came into this a confused,
stubborn little girl

with some issues to deal with,
from her panic attacks to everything else,

and she's facing these things head-on.

-[Brynn chuckles]
-Proud of you.

[indistinct chatter]

[Irulan] Brynn has been
such a good friend to me here.

She's definitely been going through
a lot on her own,

but she's always been there.

I'm going home to Portland,

and I'm going to stay
with Austin for a week.

I do think that I'm ready
to be in a committed relationship,

but if it doesn't work out,
I'm okay with being by myself too.

-[Steven] You die, Frank.
-[Frank] Am I dying now?

-[indistinct chatter]
-No!

-[Trishelle] No.
-[chuckles, squeals]

-Later.
-[laughs]

-Boo!
-While some people are taking away

a lot of things from Las Vegas. Me?
I'm taking love handles away.

[chuckles] Here, take the heavy one.

I'm moving to Los Angeles,
and I'm going to USC.

I'm living in an apartment with Steven.

-Biatch.
-[Frank] I think living with Steven

is just gonna be cool.
It's gonna be a lot of fun,

and I hope to get
a lot of the girls that he rejects.

-[upbeat music playing]
-[Trishelle] I'll miss you.

[Frank] Tell me you love me
one more time, for old time's sake.

-[Trishelle giggles]
-I love you!

[all laugh]

-I love you!
-[Trishelle] I love you.

I wish that Frank would find
that virgin… [chuckles]

…girl that he's been dreaming for.
[chuckles]

[Frank shouts]

It's me.

I knew because the envelope
was nine-and-a-half inches long exactly.

[laughs]

[sighs]

[sniffles, sobs]

[Alton] Gonna miss Arissa.

We spent a lot of time together,
had a lot of fun.

She's my family, you know?

I love you so much.

Ooh, ooh!

[emotional music playing]

[Steven] Who are you here for?

-[man] Irulan.
-[Steven] Irulan.

Where are your bags at, Irulan?

[Trishelle] Good luck with everything.

Thank you.

-[Trishelle] Got her stuff.
-Come here, girl.

-[chuckles]
-[Trishelle and Steven chuckle]

[Irulan] Arissa and I have gotten along
so well and also butted heads

because we're very much alike
in certain ways

and very different in other ways.

Thank you for everything.

The love is definitely there between us.

Don't cry.

I think that I came into things
being a little bit too confident

with the person that I am.

I wasn't so willing
to take that closer look at myself.

And I guess the change
is really that I'm just willing

to acknowledge that
you're always learning about yourself,

you're always growing,
and you can always improve.

I love you guys!

-We love you!
-Love you, Irulan!

-Oh, my God. Everybody's gone. [chuckles]
-Hmm.

-It's so quiet.
-It just sucks.

It's just, like, dead silent.

[mellow music playing]

You're going to LA.

I want to take a year away
from Austin to figure out

what I want to do with my life,
and just to clear my head.

And you're going to LA.

I just don't think that my place
is in Louisiana or Mississippi anymore.

I think that I've kind of grown up a lot
and grown out of being in the South,

and it's time for me to move on.

-And you're gonna be in Las Vegas.
-I'm gonna be in Vegas.

I'm so excited for you,

that you're getting away from Boston.

Glad you did that, kid.

Just gonna get the rest
of my stuff, get on a plane,

and… [inhales] …get back
to where I'm comfortable.

I'm coming back to Sin City.

Steven.

[all] Oh.

-[chuckles]
-Man, we didn't see that one coming.

[Arissa] No.

Steven, thank you for just being there

to give me a hug when I needed one.
