03x11 - Getting Dropped

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on the real world...

I'm telling you how to feel, it's on you.

Why are you telling me how to feel ?!

[ Judd ] everybody has their own way of dealing with puck.

And some people have broken down,

They no longer have that relationship.

I like him.[ Cory ] I do too.

I just can't stand the way, right now,

He's declared w*r on the house.

She likes him, I don't.

This is the true story...

True story...

Of seven strangers...

Picked to live in a house...

And have their lives taped...

Oh, lucy, I'm home !

To find out what happens...

When people stop being polite...

And start getting real.

Mtv's the real world, san francisco.

[ Mohammed ] tonight at the house, we're gonna have

A family meeting to ask puck, essentially,

If he could tone down some of his...

Shut up ! You.

His attitude, um... Towards everyone.

We've all been talking and we really feel that

A lot of the attitudes that you express to people here

Are not, like... They're not really cool.

You know what I mean ?

Okay, for everybody else that's bitchin' behind my back

I'll let you know right now, okay ?

I've been doing what I'm doin' right now for years, man,

And I'm not gonna stop because of somebody else's little trip.

If anything, I'm gonna challenge that, that's me.

It wasn't like anyone was trying to change puck,

What everyone was saying is that if we, as a whole,

Are gonna have any type of relationship

Then you're gonna have to give too.

No, I see you've been civil around me,

Around bogart, around your family and everything else.

You know what I'm sayin' ?

Why can't you take on that mindset in this house ?

Because I don't think other people want me to do that.

Everyone wants you to do that.

For their own convenience.

Everyone wants you to do that for the fact that like,

It would be a much better--

Hey, until each one of you guys say anything directly

Don't throw two cents in.

This isn't "pick on puck" house night, I won't deal with it.

[ Judd ] no, no, no-- we're not saying it is.

I was hoping that puck would actually hear us for once

And try and meet people halfway.

What we need from you is to be less abrasive.

It's not gonna happen.

If you guys all get together

And decide you want me out of the house

That's something all in itself.

And I'm not scared to say it, you hear that ?

I just said it.

[ Rachel ] nobody said they wanted you out.

I know that, but let me finish--

I'm saying unless that happens

Don't whine to me about how I act.

[ Puck ] I feel... I feel betrayed by them as friends.

While I wasn't around, they were pickin' on me me all the time

And having little meetings about

"How they're gonna handle me.

How should we handle the puck ?"

I personally feel that if I'm going to live with anybody

I need to have them respect certain things about me.

I don't agree.

If you don't like me, I'm not gonna be that nice to you

And I don't have to be that nice to you.

'Cause obviously there's other people participating, they like me fine.

But you know what ?

And other people that get pushed away by the harshness,

That's good for me, I like that.

Then they're gone.

Good, don't like me, pedro, it's fine to not like me.

I don't like you, but you have to respect me.

And you have to respect certain things.

[ Judd ] as it was going on, I just felt it getting worse and worse.

Puck's not stupid, he saw pretty quickly what was going on.

He said, "no one has any other house issues, right ?"

He constantly wanted to move on to other things.

"Okay, we're done here, next issue."

There wasn't any other issues,

This is what we had to deal with.

[ Cory ] and we went around and around for three hours

Trying to figure out something.

And we were just going around in circles,

Talking ourselves to death.

Can I ask one thing, though ?no.

Well, I'm gonna ask it.

Then you didn't really wanna ask me that question, did you ?

You know what, drop the question.

No-- if you ask me a question and I say no ?

I knew we had this like, little, y'know,

Love-hate thing going before, but,

I mean, now it was hate-hate.

My problem is that

All that I have heard from puck is:

"You don't like this ? Not only am I going to do it

I'm going to do it five times stronger."

And what I heard you say,

Not only tonight, but since the first day,

Is that you don't give a [ bleep ] about what I feel.

What can you do about it, pedro ?

Not live with you !

Well, you're moving out or I'm moving out then,

Isn't that kind of the case ?yes, that is definitely--

I am moving out or you're moving out.

Because I refuse to go through your [ bleep ] and your [ bleep ].

No, you're not looking at the back of my head.

I am looking at you, right in your eyes and I'm saying...

Sit back down and don't get in my face.

I refuse to put up with your [ bleep ] !

I refuse to put up with your [ bleep ].

Sit down and be an adult.

I've been trying to be an adult since the first second I got here !

You're the one who's a little kid.

You're the one who's a little kid.

Sure.

And as a matter of fact, I am saying it right now.what ?

Either I get out or he gets out.

Ooh !

So by the time I get back, the decision has to be made.

Let's make a vote.

Why don't you make your own decisions ?

I am voting to get out.

I'm saying, as long as puck lives in this house

Pedro does not live in the house.

Ooh, I like that decision, you're making a stand.

Take it, bro'.

I have to make a choice, and my choice is,

Because you don't respect me and you don't care

I am leaving the house.

Have fun on your way home to florida.

All right ! All right.

Who is it ?

Pedro or me ?

'Cause I ain't leaving unless y'all vote me out.

And he said he's leavin' anyway.

So I wanna watch him pack up.

'Cause I get a big kick out of watching him leave

Under rad, lame circumstances like this.

Oh, oh ! I'll love it !

We didn't all see eye to eye.

We knew puck had to change,

But only half the house was ready

To ask him to walk out the door.

Let's take a vote right now.

I don't wanna buy pedro's statement.

I don't wanna have to make that kind of choice

Between you two guys.

I don't like when people say things they don't [ bleep ] mean, man.

And if he says something like "you or me"

He'd better damn well be ready to hold himself true to those words.

'Cause I sure as [ bleep ] will.

I know you're like that.

I got no time for this [ bleep ], I really don't.

Life is so short and you get old fast.

Puck, I know you're like that.

Deal with it or not.

But I'm not gonna change.

No, I'm here to be me

And I'm not gonna change, man, I like me.

[ Pam ] I really saw at that point

We're eventually going to lose everyone in the house

Who isn't just willing to sit back

And take whatever puck dishes out.

And you don't see me bailing off down the stairs, I'm here.

Dave, don't--until :.

[ Rachel ] let her talk !

Don't attack these guys, okay ?

Shut up ! You.

Lay on the couch and be layin' on the couch

'Cause I already dealt with you.

Puuuck.

Something is wrong when all we talk about

Is how much we can't stand living with this one person.

Y'know, I'm getting tired of having you say things to me

And I can't say 'em back to you.

That's not true.

It's true, puck ! You call it a pot shot,

But if you say those things to me and I get pissed,

You say, "you're such a little girl.

"You're just a virgin.

You're just a little girl."

But if I say it to you, then it's pot shots.

It's these double standards that I'm having trouble with, puck.

Because I liked you, and I liked you from the beginning.

I liked you from the very beginning.

It was me and you.

And I just reached a point where

I got tired of hearing about you

And you not caring about me.

Then when things started to get hostile between us

You didn't like the fact I was actually stepping up to it.

I wasn't backing down and that's the reality of it.

That's it. Puck's right, we suck.

Puck rules, we don't. That's it.

That's how it is in this house.

That's how you want all of us to live.

I'm not gonna take any petty [ bleep ], that's all, rachel.

You can say what you want.

Okay.

Nine more minutes to grill puck.

Actually, mmm, that'll be exactly .

I'll stick around till :o.

I didn't feel like it was gonna go constructive.

It was everybody coming at the puck all at once.

Time check.

[ Mohammed ] :.

See you later.

I wanted to go to bed.

And there was no way I was gonna go to bed there in the house.

Because they were gonna sit up and talk about me all night.

Thanks, pam, honest.

Cory, you're a mouse.

Nice, quiet conversation there.

[ Pedro ] I felt the need to go back because

It's very hard for me to just let things happen around me

And not do something about it,

Especially when I have negative feeling towards them.

Hey ! Choice maker.

Hey.

I think we all decided that nobody's kicking me out.

[ Judd ] nobody's kicking pedro out.

Well, we're not kicking him out,

He said he was leavin' if I didn't leave.

I'm not leavin', pedro. What happens now ?

[ Judd ] puck, just chill, I just want you to chill.

I really want you guys to listen to me.

I don't wanna argue, I'm all right.

[ Puck ] I will listen to you.

So-- you're not listening to me right now.

When you talk, you don't listen.

So...

First and foremost, I apologize for the way I acted.

I don't respect people who, when they get angry,

They get out of control.

And I certainly did not respect myself for acting that way.

So I really, really apologize.

Second, I really regret saying

That either puck leaves or I leave.

Because that's not fair to puck, it's not fair to you guys.

Third...

This is the decision that I made.

The environment that I'm living in right now

Is not healthy, it's not supportive,

It's not safe.

I'm not talking about physically,

I'm talking about emotionally and psychologically.

So I'm choosing to get myself out of the environment.

"This is a non-healthy situation for me to live in

So I must go."

[ Belch ]

If I would've stayed there and pushed the issue more

It wouldn't have got things done,

It would've got things uglier.

[ Cory ] I don't wanna see puck go.

I really like him, I don't think he's dangerous.

[ Deep exhale ]

I personally had got to the point where

I no longer really wanted to deal with puck.

I'll see you tomorrow morning.

[ Pam ] wait, you can't just say that and walk out of here, pedro.

You have to deal with us.

[ Judd ] now, you sit down, now, you sit down.

[ Judd ] I didn't want pedro to leave.

It took pedro to just kind of snap me out of it and realize

That he's not the only one who's unhappy, maybe a lot of us are.

Okay...

Request denied ! You can't leave.

For starters.

Listen to me, a lot happened tonight.

You're really angry, you're really fed up

And you can't make this decision now, tonight.

I'm not-- I just can't accept that.

I can't accept it 'cause you're not behaving rationally.

We talk every night-- not once did you ever mention

That you were thinking of leaving.

[ Pam ] puck ?

I'd really like it if you'd, like, listen to this.

I'm definitely not staying.

Can't you just listen ?

I have somewhere to go.

I have something serious to do.

Can you listen to him for five minutes ?

Um, I don't feel like I'm stormin' out,

I fell like I talked about a lot of [ bleep ] and I hope you've all--

I know, you're a great talker.

Accomplish what you're doing.

You're a great talker.

You just shut up. I've had it with you.

Hey, hey, just--

Mo'-- me and you tomorrow, maybe, alone,

We'll work through it.

Stop it, stop it.

If you leave tonight, he'll cut his nose off to spite his face.

And I don't [ bleep ] feel sorry for him

'Cause he doesn't know the issues I'm dealing with right now.

Pedro, for all the harsh things you said,

I let it all go, bro'.

And the best to you in your life here or elsewhere.

I'll see you around.

[ Mohammed ] all he had to do was go, "look, well, I'll try.

Y'know, I'll try to change,"

And I think everyone would've went like, "okay".

But he never said that.

So nothing was gonna get accomplished.

We got three people-- you three:

Rachel, pedro, mohammed--

Who feel that you don't wanna deal with puck anymore

And we'd be better off without him.

No, I never said I wanted puck out of the house.

Okay, okay, so you don't.

But I don't want pedro out of the house either.

No, no-- I'm not even getting to that.

I'm not even getting to that yet.

I wish we could work it out and make it happen.

I don't actually see that now.

So, if we're actually talking about asking puck to leave

Then we have to discuss that.

Just to say something on his behalf.

He was kind of trying to say,

"Y'know, pedro, I do like parts of you.

There's things about you I like."

And the response was, "I don't like, puck.

There's nothing about you I like."

[ Mohammed ] I don't believe him though, I mean--

[ Judd ] one at a time.

Think about who I'm living with

And who I'm getting along with.

And ask yourself if pedro likes people.

If pedro is willing to compromise.

Pedro, you know--i think so--

No, wait, wait, wait. I think so.

I really do think so.

So what you need to ask yourself is...

What took pedro to say...

"I don't like you", to be that extremist,

To say "I don't like you and I'm no longer willing to compromise."

Think about it.

I am thinking about it.

I just wanted to say something in puck's defense

Since he's not here.

And I'm not saying that your feelings are not valid

Or that I want puck to stay or whatever,

I'm not saying that.

I'm just... Trying to say that...

I don't know what I'm trying to say.

I'm just trying to say something on the other side

Since it's not being voiced.

[ Pam ] I think she feels like she worked really hard

To come to an understanding with puck.

And I think she feels a little bit like

Her work was robbed of her.

I don't want him out, but I agree that by pedro leaving

Nothing is gonna be solved and the same problems are still gonna exist.

[ Judd ] I'll say it out loud again.

I think puck should leave.

If you want to call that a vote, then fine, that's my opinion.

For the good of this house, I think puck should leave.

I would much rather have pedro stay here than puck, that's me.

I'm not willing to work it out anymore.

I mean, I definitely came with the intention tonight

Not wanting it to be six on one,

Not wanting to throw him out of the house

And this and this.

And, by now I really feel like, he should go.

Not because it's a choice between pedro or puck, even,

It's just because... Because of what we saw.

If we're making this decision, then we're making this decision.

This has to be six voices.

I want to hear from cory and rachel.

It's extremely complicated for me, judd, and--

I know, that's why--

I hope you can understand that.

I completely do.

I care about pedro a lot.

I can't help the fact that I don't get along with puck,

That he drives me crazy, that he doesn't respect me,

But nonetheless, I have some loyalty towards him.

And it... Well, in the back of my head

Everything that you guys are saying is right

And I feel the same way...

God... I--

It's very difficult for me to say,

"Let's kick puck out," because I can't-- it's--

I...

I--

I don't...

I agree.

[ Rachel ] I honestly didn't think that it would come to that.

But I thought that the threat would be enough for him

To kind of back down,

But he didn't take us seriously... At all.

[ Phone dialing ]

Rachel, what's his other number ?

[ Judd ] after we decided that we wanted puck to leave

I paged puck about two dozen times.

Finally, I get him on the phone

And I told puck he has to come back.

Puck, I'm begging ya, just come on home.

[ Puck ] you guys voted me out of the house ?

Puck, I need you to come home.

I want you to answer the question.

I can't answer any questions

Except that I need you to come home.

Judd, I really don't wanna do it.

Hang on just one sec, will you hold on ?

Puck does not wanna come home.

And he's asking me thequestion.

He wants to know what ?

Whether he's getting kicked out ?

I need to know quickly what I'm to do here.

Am I to tell him ?

[ Mohammed ] we tried to get him to come to the house.

We can pay for the cab.

We said, judd will come get him, he didn't want judd to come get him.

[ Pam ] so, he finally said, "okay, put me on speaker phone

And just tell me over the phone."

Is that it ? Okay.

Can you hear me all right ?

Yes.

We're all here.

Everybody's there ?

Yes.

It was too big an issue to tell someone over the phone.

It was ending a relationship of sorts.

You just don't do that, you have enough respect to do it in person.

But we also had to do it that night.

It wasn't something that we could sleep on

And, more importantly,

I didn't want anyone to, well, to hedge.

Puck, as you asked me before, you wanted to know,

Do we want you to move out of the house ?

And the quest-- the answer is yes.

We made a decision as a house

That we would like you to move out.

Hey, that's great,

You wanted me to come all the way back over there

So you could tell me I was out of the house ?

[ Mohammed ] we wanted to tell you to your face,

We didn't wanna tell you on a machine.

Well, I think you're all really petty

For this whole [ bleep ] thing, that's what I think.

This is something we all decided, dude.

Oh, you think of how I feel ?

Puck, I thought about how you felt.

You guys don't feel bad ?

[ Judd ] of course we do.

[ Cory ] come home, puck !

Come here and talk to us.

So I can get [ bleep ] on some more, cory ?

Puck, so we can talk to you face to face.

This is ridiculous, it's too hard to talk like this.

I haven't done anything to get kicked out of the house.

[ Cory ] puck, you said that you wouldn't compromise.

You guys just dictate what happens to me.

But the thing is you're trying to dictate

What was gonna happen to all of us.

And we asked you not to do that anymore

You refused.

And now, you're feeling like we feel.

And you don't like it.

Peck, peck, peck.

No.

I'm not pecking, puck, I'm being honest with you.

Hey, I honestly care about each and every one of you, okay ?

Puck, come home.

I don't know, it seems like I really, I should,

But I don't feel comfortable doing it.

Okay.

I kind of left on my own accord, y'know.

And I love you guys to death--

Puck, I love you too, I do.

You are the cutest, man.

And I guess I'll be seeing you when I'm packing up my stuff.

[ Mohammed ] bye, dude.

[ Puck ] I think the people left behind in my wake

Are just casualties of being hung up, y'know,

And not raging.

When I ride bikes with my friends, I mean,

They're not gonna wait for me.

You'll get what they call "dropped"

And it's lonely getting dropped.

You don't have any friends with you, you ride by yourself.

On the next real world...

Hi, mom, I found a really cheap flight.

Me and pedro are gonna come.

He was the one my mother was most concerned about.

I think this is disgusting, rachel.

If there is one thing that I ever regret,

It is just kissing him.

I guarantee you this:

I'm gonna run across her some time.

It's a really small world.
