[ Mohammed ] one thing I noticed since puck has left

It's a whole different, it's a wholedifferent atmosphere.

♪♪

My friend melinda bought me some sage and cumfri

Which you burn, you put around, you get rid of bad spirits

You no longer want in the house.

All I can say is,

Alhamdulillah-- praise be to allah.

[ Judd ] the house is a lot more relaxed,

We're enjoying ourselves more.

There is no tension in the house.

[ Rachel ] look, I don't care about what I do!

You do not need to call me on the phone

And tell me why you took my credit cards away and--

How can they give me no credit ?

I have been living on cash for like,

Ever since I turned in my cards to papa, in december.

My mother thinks I have no conception of money...

When it comes to plastic.

I already gave you my cards, what more do you want?

They think I'm gonna be a bum.

They said-- this is their quote--

"You're gonna have a master's.

You're gonna be penniless on the beach in san diego."

That's what she told me.

[ Rachel ] what, I can't hear.

[ Mom ] did you go to mass ?

Yes I went to mass.

I wanna make sure--

Well, if you don't trust me now

Then I don't really care.

[ Pedro ] what I get from rachel is a lot of mixed messages.

And I can't believe you think that that's my goal.

What is your goal ?

My goal is to... Make a fool of myself.

Even though she's very conservative, uh,

There is that part of her that is very liberal,

That wants to go against the norm.

All right !

♪♪

And it's okay, y'know.

I really like rachel.

[ Pedro ] get her hand.

And you feel it right on your heart.

I'm telling you...

He's going over the line there.

Sometimes I look at her and I think she's really

Making a big attempt

To get to know me as a person

And to really have a good relationship with me.

I feel his heart beating faster.

Yes.

I think the whole thing with the trip

Was very spontaneous.

She just thought of it in the moment and said,

"You wanna come home with me ?"

And I said, "well, sure."

Mama, I found a really cheap flight

And me and pedro are gonna come.

[ Mom ] that's good.

Pedro, my mom wants to know if you're comfortable

With going to the services with us.

One on thursday, one on friday, one on saturday.

[ Rachel ] my personal experience has been,

I lived in a very strict catholic home, so,

There's a natural sense of catholic schoolgirl

Rebellion in me and it's always been there.

I still, I mean--

I'm and I get a kick out of upsetting my parents.

♪♪

Monday I got my belly button pierced.

I don't think I really thought much about it

In the sense that I never really liked my stomach enough

To wanna get a belly button ring on it.

But, we just did it.

I don't think so, why don't you do that ?

♪♪

Okay, so whatever you do you don't wanna move.

You ready ?

Okay.

♪♪

It's stinging, a little.

I think my mother would think that a belly button ring

Was really stupid.

But, I want it, I think it's cool.

And I'm not specifically out to ruin her day, you know.

If she finds out, okay, if she doesn't, oh well.

So how is christopher ?

I haven't seen him in a long time.

I know christopher and I are going to

Be connected in some way

For the rest of our lives probably.

But I think that even though my relationship

Has been over eight years,

The distance part it makes me uneasy.

He said he was gonna see me soon.

And, I mean my birthday is in like,

Two weeks, so...

So he's trying to surprise you, maybe, on your birthday?

My birthday's on thursday.

That's a terrible day to surprise me

'Cause I have two tests on friday.

So you wouldn't want him to come?

Well, he has to do--

We always do something, for my birthday, so...

♪♪

[ Pedro ] coming in to see rachel's family

I was a little bit concerned about our differences

In politics and beliefs, you know.

I have made an attempt not to ask too much.

Her mom has a big problem with her

Living with somebody who is h.i.v positive and here I am

Going to her house.

It'll begin boarding directly behind you

In about more minutes.

Thank you.

[ Rachel ] pedro was the one my mother was most concerned about.

So it really just made sense to bring him home.

I'm a little nervous.

Actually, I'm a lot nervous.

I want everything to go really smoothly.

And, even without pedro I'd be nervous about going home.

♪♪

Hey, what's up ?

♪♪

[ Pedro ] when I first went into the house

There were two things that I really noticed.

And one is that the house is immaculate,

It's extremely clean.

And this is my room, it's kind of messy right now.

And two, that there are all these religious figures,

Nativity scenes, all over the house.

And some of them are really nice,

Some of them I like.

I just think that they're all over the place.

In a sense I feel good about it

Because it's almost like she's allowing me to

Come into her environment and that's nice.

Well, it looks like you and I are

The only ones that are gonna eat.

Just you and me.

I'm pretty much just taking a tiny glimpse

Into rachel's family and world in which she comes from.

♪♪

In the name of the father, the son, holy spirit, amen.

Blessed the lord th-- wait, I forgot how it goes.

[Laughter]

♪♪

[ Rachel ] anyway, well, this woman was speaking--

She's cuban !

Well, of course she's republican, she's cuban.

What do you mean, "she's republican, she's cuban"?

I'm cuban and not republican.

[Laughter]

No, our most loyal constituency--

Most cubans.

The republican national committee's most loyal con--

Or one of their most loyal constituencies

Are the cubans.

Yes, I know.

[ Pedro ] rachel's mother

Knows that we have

Very different political beliefs.

She said, um, george bush is her idol.

And she named her cat after george bush.

You named him after george bush?

Absolutely.

I basically just smiled and said,

That's nice and you know

I don't wanna discuss it, y'know.

[Laughter]

Can you pass me the cabbage please ?

If I had the choice between ucsd and michigan--the university of

Mighigan, I'd take ucsd.

I could completely see myself living in la jolla.

Working for the chamber of commerce or doing

Something like that in a nice, calm environment.

I don't really want--

Going to the beach...

[Laughter]

Surfing--

No no no

[Pedro] I see a lot of rachel's mother in rachel.

You know her mother

Is very strong and I don't want to say controlling,

But that's what she is.

[ Rachel ] she loves me and she'll do anything for me.

But it's also like she expects a lot out of her kids.

We're all overachievers and we're all trying to

Do things to like make her proud.

♪♪

What is this?

Whose picture is this?

Those are a whole bunch of my roommates

And my roommates' friends.

I think this is real awful.

I think this is disgusting, rachel.

Is that a way a young lady sits?

Give me a break.

Oh, I didn't think--

Look with who you are.

You just don't like patty and francis very much--

No, it's not that.

I don't like this behavior.

What are you talking about?

This trash.

I don't think that you should even

Bring it to the house.

♪♪

[ Mom ]pedro.

[ Rachel ] to me, that my mother actually suggested

That pedro come to the school and talk about his having

H.i.v. And all that was you know, even a little shocking.

I think that she was very trusting to take him to her

Work and to my father's work.

♪♪

[ Pedro ] I was just a little bit nervous because

Rachel's parents were there, her brother was there,

The principal was there, there were some teachers there.

Okay, do we have everybody here?

I didn't wanna, basically offend anybody.

♪♪

Question.

How was the disease transmitted to you ?

How did I get h.i.v. ?

Yeah.

I got it through sex.

I got it through unprotected sex.

The reason that I know that I got it through unprotected sex

Is because I have never, uh, done any types of drugs.

[ Rachel ] he pretty much just stuck to the important things

I think, purposefully

So that they would focus on what was important

And not on him being g*y.

Yeah.

Do you still date?

And when you do, do you--

When do you tell the women about it and how

Do they deal with it?

[ Pedro chuckles ]

Um, yes, I date.

Right now, I'm in a relationship.

I just got into a relationship with somebody who's positive.

It's a great relationship and I'm in love and you know,

Blah blah blah, but...

[ Rachel ] if he'd wanted to promote or show

That he's h*m*

They would've missed the point of what he was saying

Which was that you can get it too.

And I think it just showed his professionalism.

Is there anything else that I would like to accomplish?

I would like to get rid of world hunger

And get rid of A*DS and... No, just kidding

Take care of yourselves and of each other, thanks.

So, now that I'm really getting to know him,

I feel like his sister.
