01x08 - Becky Falls into Troubled Love

[bunniefuu]

Previously on

The real world...

[Screams]

[Screams]

Oh, my god!

We're going to jamaica.

This is what

I've been dreaming of!

Every day.

That's--utopia is beautiful.

You know what I mean?

I'm not even talking

About utopia.

But in a way, you are.

No.

Who gives a [...]

About farming things

If I live on rd street

And amsterdam avenue?

Well, who gives a [...] About

Rd and amsterdam avenue

If I live on a farm?

Stupid b*tch.

This is the true story...

True story.

Of seven strangers...

[Laughter]

Picked to live in a loft...

And have their lives taped...

To find out what happens...

What?

When people stop

Being polite...

Could you get the phone?

And start getting real.

The real world.

[Dog barks]

We came to jamaica

Basically looking for men.

Or boys or whatever

You want to call them.

We wanted men.

The whole idea of coming

Down here was to meet guys.

We wanted men.

Yay!

Come on, what are we doing, man?

We in the place with

Free drinks, so let's go.

We've been at the loft for

A while living together, and--

You miss hearing all the little

Things that annoy you

On a daily basis.

But you know, take them away,

And it's kind of scary

Because you miss them.

I can't imagine

Those four guys living together.

I can't imagine them sitting

There and talking to each other.

I have no idea

What they would talk about.

Then we were just sitting

Around, and norman got all

Excited, and he said, "kevin,

Write a poem out about jamaica."

♪ Ja-ja-ja

♪ Jamaica

♪ Jamaica on our minds

Throughout the weekend,

We were talking about the fact

That we hadn't gone to jamaica.

We wanted to go to jamaica.

We were real jealous

About the whole situation.

And so I was sitting down there,

And I just started scribbling

Something, you know,

Like, "ja, ja, jamaica,"

And put some other words to it.

And I said--

You know, I gave it to andre,

And he made it into a song.

It was interesting

'Cause we really haven't talked

That much, andre and i.

And that was, like, I guess,

The deepest exchange

We've had thus far.

♪ Why'd you leave us ♪

♪ Behind?

[Rocking acoustic guitar music]

♪

Nice.

What do you think is gonna

Happen when you get back

With kevin?

You think y'all

Still gonna be arguing?

I don't know.

I wonder.

I don't know what's gonna happen

With kevin.

I mean, I'm not mad or anything.

It's like his point of view.

But I just feel like if somebody

Can't handle having a

Conversation or a debate about

Something without blowing up

And getting personal,

Then they can't have a debate

About anything, you know,

And I'm not gonna do it.

Becky, you're the moodiest

Person in this apartment.

Everybody knows I'm moody.

You ask heather.

She knows I'm moody.

And you're not moody any?

What do you expect, honey?

The weird thing was, is that

We were arguing the same thing.

We just had different ways

Of talking about it.

You know, he's like,

"Don't you understand this?"

I was like, "no,

I don't understand it.

I don't understand

Where you're coming from,

'Cause I don't come from there."

And I said, "but tell me what

Your point is."

And he didn't have one.

And he freaked out.

And the weird thing is, is that

My opinion isn't different

From kevin's.

I don't understand where he came

In calling me like what he did.

A r*cist?

You are.

I'm not a r*cist.

You are.

I like kevin.

I'll be totally civil to him,

But I'm not gonna, you know--

It's a shame, because I'd love

To have conversations with him.

But if it ends up like,

"You're a sl*t,

And your mother's a wh*re,"

And all that junk,

Forget it.

I'm freezing.

[ba*ls clacking]

Splash!

I really can't imagine what a

Group of girls would be doing if

They were out looking for a guy,

And I don't really understand

How you go out

Looking for a guy.

[Horn blowing]

Well, the one guy that seemed

Like he was the nicest,

The guy on the boat,

He just was like,

"I haven't worked

Since january."

I could not believe

That he said that.

You know, like, today's tuesday.

I haven't worked since jan"--

Like, he didn't care.

So that was bad.

You know, after two hours of

Conversation, he was cut off.

Why are boys so horny?

Because--

Norman explained it

Because they make so much sperm

Every day.

No, I think it's because

Everything they have

Is on the outside.

Everything we have

Is on the inside.

So it's like,

They put their pants on,

They're reminded of it.

Like, every single move they

Make, they're reminded of sex.

Why aren't they reminded

About peeing then?

And how can they walk around

And not laugh?

[Laughter]

This was definitely good

For the three of us just

To be together without any

Interruption, you know.

And I thought it was great

For heather and becky,

Because they're never, you know,

Hanging out together.

You know, there's not really any

Reason for them to when we're at

The loft in the city and

Everything, 'cause their

Schedules are totally different.

Everything's totally different.

So this was great.

I think they learned a lot about

Each other, and I think they

Like each other a lot more than

They ever thought they would.

What was your worst date?

I'd been wanting to go out

With this guy for, like,

You know, a couple of weeks.

And he finally asked me

To do something, you know,

Just the two of us.

And we were going

To this lake house.

The sun's setting, the birds

Are--little ducks are down here

Chirping or doing whatever.

The ducks are chirping.

And I'm sitting there like

This in white shorts, bleeding

All over this rock.

Break out.

It kind of ruined the moment.

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god.

Heather, julie, and I decided

We were gonna check out

The nude beach.

'Cause norm told us that the

Whole place was nude.

I take my video camera.

We're gonna capture the moment.

And I'm sitting there

In my swimsuit, you know,

With my video camera.

And heather's going,

"You are gonna get beat up."

All right, heather, take it off.

Girl, cut that

[Bleep] camera off.

Let me just tell you, we went

Down to the nude beach thinking,

You know, we'll really

Get to see something.

Every man down there looked like

A high school principal.

I mean, I don't know if you know

What that looks like, but, like,

Fat, bald head,

Just like, a principal,

Like, or a cop.

I go out in the water,

And this man comes over

And, you know, tells me,

You know, "you've got, like,

The best breasts out here."

You know,

"Do you mind if I touch them?"

"Well, yes.

Get away."

Well, what?

I just want to know

If he was thinking, "oh, sure.

Go right ahead."

You know?

I mean, i--"yeah!"

No.

Get out. Get lost.

Okay, we're out of here.

Oh, if lisa calls,

Tell her I'll call her back.

Kevin and I had been speaking

That day, so--or should I say

Kevin had been speaking to me

That day, so--

He was hungry; I was hungry.

Let's go out for some dinner.

[Indistinct chatter]

You said you've been

Playing music all your life.

When did you start writing it,

Like, the lyrics

And stuff like that?

I grew up in music.

My mother had an album

On capitol records.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Well, her band,

Her whole family.

They were like a mix

Between the manhattan transfer

And the osmonds.

You know, 'cause it was--

I felt more comfortable just,

Like, you know, asking andre

Questions about his background,

Which is real interesting, about

His band and stuff like that.

And you know, I tried to put in

Little points about myself

And, like, you know.

But I don't know if wasn't

Interested or what, but

He wasn't really responding,

So I just kept it like

Me asking him questions.

And that was

Just the way it went.

The thing is that he always

Makes these little smart remarks

About "you're never here."

And you know, I thought that was

An opportunity for us to have,

Like, an exchange and stuff,

But it just wasn't happening.

When I confront him with

Anything, it's like this

Complete state of denial.

I asked him what happened--

"What happened with this fight

Between you and becky?"

And he said, "no,

There was no fight.

I had no problem with her

At all."

What the [bleep] was that?

Hi, andre.

Andre.

What's up?

I'm in freezing cold

New york,

And you're in jamaica.

It's cold here too.

So you jealous, andre?

Of course I'm jealous.

Well, that's good.

Oh, shut up.

I feel like hanging up on you.

Andre, it was really great

To know you,

But we're never coming home.

I don't blame you.

Ahh! We're not coming back.

We're staying forever.

Hey, kevin, guess who

I'm on the phone with.

Jamaica.

I'm getting off the phone

Now.

[Scoffs]

I have nothing to say.

Hello?

Hello.

Hello?

All right,

Heather's on the phone.

Tell him

I slept with rasta men.

[Laughter]

Guess what.

Becky slept with rasta men.

I believe it.

All right.

What took her so long?

What took her so long?

Andre said that's a lot.

So norman ain't home?

No, norman's out.

Norman's on a date.

I'm out. Later.

Later.

See you, kevin.

Andre?

What's going on with your band?

Uh, well, let's see.

We're playing on friday.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

All right, darling.

Ciao.

Heather says ciao...

Mein.

[Laughs]

Bye.

Take care.

You too.

Bye-bye.

Bye.

Use a rubber.

So last night,

We decided that, you know,

"We are gonna meet men,"

You know.

This is it.

I'm not laura.

We go out with that

Intention, that we are just

Gonna meet as many guys and

Give them as many crappy lines

As we can think of.

And so we're up there and we're

Kind of making bets, you know,

I bet I can get a guy to jump

In the water before you can, and

Becky's like, "oh, I bet I can

Get more than you."

You know, just any kind of bet.

And I turn around,

And it's like, "wham-o.

First victim."

You're a really

Attractive girl.

You are.

Me?

Oh, stop.

You say that to everybody here.

I went out with an elle model

One time, so I know.

No way.

You look like the type

That'd be right picky.

You know, not going after

Just all sorts.

Julie went over to this guy

And was like, "hi,"

With this real deep accent,

Worse than the one that she has.

And she was like,

"Hi, I'm julie.

I'm from alabama."

I went down south.

I had to make a barn, and they

Give me these big spiked nails

To put into,

Like, concrete posts.

Is that right?

Yeah.

I have my own business.

You self-employed?

Yeah.

Ceramic tile, marble, granite.

Very self-employed.

Is that right?

Yeah.

You want marble up that wall,

On the stucco, I'll do it.

Look over at that pontoon

Over there.

That what?

See they're up and down?

The reflection is different

Off some tiles.

It's a bad job.

Finally, after an hour of

This guy, she got up and left,

And then he asked me,

"Well, is she coming back?"

And I was like, "no.

She's not coming back.

I mean, don't you get it?"

And he is like, hook, line,

And sinker, gone.

And he's giving me as many

Crap lines as I'm giving him,

I think.

But I found out

That I was wrong.

I'm so sorry.

That's okay.

W-h-t-g f.m., Eatontown.

Real rock radio f.m. ..

Hi, I'm matt pinfield

On this thursday afternoon

Here at f.m. .,

And we've got reigndance

In the studio right now.

They have a gig this coming

Wednesday at the roxy

In new brunswick.

Why don't you tell the audience

Where you guys came together

And also introduce yourselves.

That'd be a good idea as well.

All right, all right.

Well, starting over here...

My name's dean fertita,

Guitar player.

Hi, dean.

I'm constantine ballard,

The bass player.

Okay.

And I'm andre comeau,

The lead singer.

That's right.

We've known each other

Since the third grade

When I moved into town.

And we've been friends

Ever since then.

They know me pretty well.

Tell me about the song--

Why divide? It's called?

Why divide?, Yeah.

It was a song that we wrote

After the first time we visited

New york from detroit.

And new york was kind of like

A microcosm of all the problems

That we have in the country.

And basically, the song is about

Fighting racism and trying

To solve some problems

That we have.

Okay, we got reigndance in

The studio, and here's a track

Called why divide?

Being a musician in a rock band

Has its benefits.

Be it women, be it

The possibility of, you know,

Getting your statement across

To a lot of--

A broad spectrum of people.

[Whispers] women.

Come here.

That dog--i've never

Seen a dog that big.

I know.

I met lisa at the bar

Across the street from the roxy,

The melody.

I had fun.

I had a really good time.

So how long have you guys

Been playing together?

Um...

Three years.

Almost three years.

You ever been in here?

We went to some little bar

On bleecker street

That sold horrible drinks.

You know, whenever I do think

I'm able to handle

A steady relationship,

I just feel too tied down.

And that's why I'm not really

All that responsible

Is because I can't handle

The wandering eye thing.

You know?

Where are you from?

New york city.

[Indistinct chatter]

We were supposed to come

Down, have a great time, and you

Know, finally get to meet the

Men that we've wanted to meet.

And unfortunately, there wasn't

Much to choose from.

You know, guys come up and

Say stupid things to you, and

When you say something stupid

Back, you think surely they're

Gonna pick up on it and be like,

"Ha-ha.

Ha-ha-ha."

You know, I was going, "becky's

Got a crush on danny devito."

He was like, "oh, really?"

You don't even question that.

You know, "why do you have

A crush on danny devito?

What do you see attractive

About this man?"

But he did not care, you know.

It was like, "oh, cool, man.

Great."

Whoa!

It's not like guys to be

Themselves.

A lot of times, guys just feel

That they have to come up to you

With a front or say and do

Things they wouldn't normally do

To try to get your attention.

I was down by the beach,

And there was a big bonfire.

It was really nice, so I met a

Guy there, and he asked me what

I was doing, and I told him that

I was an alligator wrestler.

And then he said, "well,

What do you after

You wrestle the alligator?"

I said, "well, we skin them

And then we eat them."

[Laughs]

And he said, "really?"

I mean, we met some nice guys,

But we didn't meet--we were

Expecting a little more.

[Laughs]

We're going home with no guys,

No phone numbers, no nothing.

But I don't know.

The weather's nice here

And the food,

But that's about it.

Well, there was one thing

That did happen in jamaica.

[Tires screeching]

Nobody ain't home.

It's clean.

Where is the family?

We're back!

Nobody even home.

We didn't get no messages.

Gee, thanks for the welcome

Home, guys.

[Phone ringing]

Heather, this is lisa.

I'm just calling to see what

Happened to you.

Give me a call when you get in.

Bye.

Coming home

To an empty house--

I just knew we was gonna have

A cake and a party and just

A big banner, "welcome home."

Nothing.

There's nobody here?

No one's here.

Smokey, you smell like toast.

Eric.

[Laughs]

Yo.

Did you guys go naked?

Both: yep.

All three of you?

Girls: yep.

And I have a video tape of

The whole thing, and I'll sell

It to you for a small fee.

You went naked?

I'll sell it to you

For a small fee.

So a lot of guys there?

Did you meet--

If you call them that.

Did you meet any?

I met one from canada.

And he could lay marble

Like nobody's business.

So you didn't meet any guys?

Do you see that reflection

Over there?

You guys didn't hook up?

[Laughs]

Well, there was one thing

That did happen in jamaica,

Which, um...

Uh...

Happened, um...

One of the directors and I

Got kind of close in jamaica.

And we got a little too close.

Unfortunately,

He can't be with us any more

Because unfortunately,

He was a little too into me.

[Laughs]

Did anything happen

While we were gone?

[Laughs]

I got a hickey.

Well, tell me about it.

Oh, god, it was the best

Vacation I had

Was over the weekend.

I just, like, was so happy.

Oh, gosh.

Norman comes in,

And he is just the happiest

I've literally ever seen him.

He is ecstatic.

Oh, great date.

Oh, my god.

With who?

Charles.

He just got here

From los angeles.

The mating season has arrived.

The birds,

The bees.

And yes, I got myself a date.

A very cute date, I might add.

And he lives around the corner.

I can't believe you, norm.

He--the elevator opened up,

And I just went,

"Holy god."

You are so happy.

You are on...

So happy.

Cloud nine.

[Sighs]

Oh, yeah.

He has a dog?

He has a dog, shiba.

We took it to the park.

What kind of dog?

A shiba.

So he said, "well, you would go

On a date with me?"

And I'm like, "of course

I'd go on a date with you."

And then he called me back and

So we talked for, like, an hour,

And we set up our date.

And I proceeded to spend

The rest of my weekend with him

In bliss.

And it was great.

And so now I'm in a bit

Of a relationship.

Can i, like, walk the dog over

And give you a good night kiss?

I'm very happy.

[Laughs]

Even if it did turn into

An argument, that's fine.

But when it hits

A certain level,

I can't say anything to you.

I'm not gonna turn around

And say, "kevin,

You're a [...] b*stard,"

'Cause I don't think you are.

I felt bad that

I called you a b*tch,

You know what I'm saying?

Because I don't like

Calling women that.

I don't think that's the right

Thing for a man to call a woman.

So I was like, "kev,

Don't say nothing."

You know what I'm saying?

"Wait until you feel comfortable

Enough at least approach her

In a way that, you know, is, you

Know, a little bit more civil."

You understand what I'm saying?

But I still feel that, you know,

There's certain things

That need to be talked about.

My point wasn't to

Offend you or your life

Or where you're coming from.

I was just talking about

Where I was coming from.

Do you understand?

I definitely understand.

You know.

And I would never want to

Offend you and put you off,

And if I did, I apologize.

Because that wasn't

Where I was coming from.

Let's deal with it in a level

Where we can communicate and

It's not shouting, ain't no

Throwing of hats like it was

Last time.

You know what I'm saying?

All I do is, I try to do

The best I can in who I am

And who I relate to.

And you know,

I don't always succeed.

And that's the reality.

I don't mean to leave the

Conversation, but I'm starving.

Are you hungry?

Will you go eat with me and

Becky if I buy you dinner?

You will?

Let's go to gonzalez

Gonzalez, everybody.

I don't--i don't think

I want to talk to nobody here.

'Cause I need a drink too.

And I don't drink.

So, you know, it's--

It kind of worked out all right.

I don't know if it's

Resolved, but I mean,

I feel better.

At least I can talk to her now,

You know.

Hi, you want to

Go eat dinner?

What?

Want to go eat?

Or is it just me and becky?

No, they're gonna come.

All right.

See you boys in a minute.

Kevin!

I realized I made the biggest

Mistake of my life

When I bought three water g*ns.

You better stop squirting

That [bleep] at me.

I'm gonna take it personally.

Julie, heather, and norm and

I went to the dew drop inn.

And bill came and joined us.

And I know you,

And I know you.

Okay.

Pretend they're not there.

You're not allowed

To talk to them.

Bill is the director I have

Sucked through the fourth wall.

He's now living in our realm.

Now you know what it's like.

He felt very uncomfortable being

On the other side with all the

Cameras on him and basically hid

Most of the time, which--

I don't blame him.

I really don't.

It was a very awkward situation.

On the next episode

Of the real world...

He's just, like, you know,

The greatest thing

Since wonder bread.

I just don't want norman

To get hurt.

That's my only concern.

Well, what if I spent

The night with you

One night down here?

You can.

That'd be cool with you?

She can get in a lot of trouble.

Because it's very,

Very dangerous.
