03x14 - Old Fish, New Fish

[bunniefuu]

Maurice, you have to help the fish.

The lobster ate another one.

I'm getting really traumatized by all this death.

You know, I noticed that when the fish are healthy

The environment around here we don't fight as much.

And there was one fish...

Which, puck actually said it.

There's this little clown fish. Little rainbow clown fish.

Who darts in and out of there--

That's me, that's me in the fish bowl there.

Two days later, maurice our fish guy took the fish out.

'Cause he was kind of nipping at the other fish.

No lie, it actually happened.

Makes you wonder.

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.

They want to bring somebody else in.

[ Rachel ] I haven't really thought about it until now.

Well it was bound to happen.

We're having a new roommate.

We asked one to leave, so another one's coming in.

It has to be a guy.

Boy, boy, boy !

You had your shot.

And you, blew it.

Me and rachel, are suffering the most.

We want a cute boy !

That's right.

We had a guy in here, didn't work out. I'll buy you a puppy.

We had had that th guy didn't work out.

I think we should now, have a th woman in the house.

With a fetish for cartoonists.

Yeah, I think it makes sense.

I mean, puck was a guy, he left,

Just replace him with a new guy.

I'll take a boy that barks.

God, no. I'm one of those.

No no.

I didn't-- care whether

It was gonna be a guy or a girl.

What I cared about

Was that it was somebody who was not gonna be confrontational, at all.

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Cory ] hello.

It's puck.

Puck called, and I answered the telephone

And he was just talking to me, you know going--

So not only could you not live with me

But you don't want to be my friend.

Kind of ?

No.

I'm still human breathing over here.

I know you are.

And more than that, you know, I mean...

I spent-- I put a lot into being you guy's friends.

Believe it or not.

Tony's having a party tonight.

Who's tony ?puck's wife, I mean, puck's fiance.

She's having a party tonight.

And puck called to invite us, I guess.

And then he just thought it was really lame

That we never called him.

But I didn't really think that he wanted to talk to us.

[ Rachel ] well, you know,

I was gonna bring something up to you--

And just take it as you wish.

But considering that he actually did call

And was trying to be nice, and inviting us.

I think that we should just make that,

Kind of like a little appearance and then leave.

I mean, I think he's making an effort to at least be nice, I think.

And I'm just wondering if we're being too harsh, I don't know.

Yeah I felt bad, 'cause I felt like

Just because we kicked him out of the house.

Doesn't mean we can't be friends with him.

[ Puck ] I invited all the roommates to go

And they declined.

I called them "f--" and left.

He was such a big part of my life that

It was difficult for me to step outside of the situation.

For a month and a half he was practically the only person I ever hung out with.

The more I'm away from him

It's easier for me to see...

But, just now barely starting to feel comfortable around each other

And understand each other.

Honestly we really don't want another roommate.

Me and judd decided to go to a bar together--

[ Judd ] and we were both drinking and getting--

I know I am kind of a "weepy drunk"

And I think rachel's kind of in that territory as well.

I was just very drunk and nostalgic, and I thought

"Hey what the hell, we're down here, it's his neighborhood.

I'll invite him out for a drink."

What are you on crack ?!

I thought it would be, you know kind of a nice gesture.

So rachel, it's good to see you man, I missed you.

He was being-- quite gregarious.

Buying drinks, and let's forgive and forget

And all that sort of thing.

I go to the bathroom and he actually follows me in there.

And before I can even say two words

Rachel comes in there as well.

Get the hell out !

I was just trying to say,

"Hey let's be friends."

You love me, rachel ?

I miss you.

But I don't love you.

No, no, no.

Puck, we're all loaded up.

Shut up, "liquor head".

I just wanted to clear things up between me and him.

My relationship with him.

Well that's why I [ beep ] called you.

Say what you want.

You saw the pictures and we were happy then.

I know. You know what puck, we were happy

But it was me--i want a minute.

Me fascinated with you.listen to him.

And it wasn't you interested in me, and that was the problem.

It's not about the three people in this room.

Ahh, jesus.no, excuse me, me and puck have to--

Do you hear me ?

I don't actually remember what happened after that.

A lot of talking, yelling.

I seem to be trying to talk to puck

And rachel's yelling at him.

C'mon puck, listen.

We sat you in the room, and we said--

Puck listen, don't do this !

You don't [ beep ] listen to me.

It's me.i know it's you.

Whine, whine, whine.

Can you listen to me ?

Your mama makes you some food too.

Will you f-- [ beep ] listen for once ?

Just chill.

Nothing came of it.

And she was just really pissed.

Let's go to the bar.

If you don't want to talk to me about it right now

Then f[ beep ] forget it.

Because I have something to say to you

And I want to say it right here right now.

Dave dave dave dave.

I'm asking you.

Puck, puck, I'm asking.

Go back in with her.

No, forget it. It's f[ beep ] fine.

[ Puck ] gotta have a beer.

I want to go home.

We're goin' home.

Now !

Right now. We're going home.

He's such an as*h*le.

One little sign of weakness.

And he f[ beep ] uses it on me.

It's okay, rach.

I don't know why you called him.

What'd you think he was gonna do ?

Say "please take me back."

C'mon judd, I mean--

I can't help that I miss that he's not in the house.

I know -- I miss him too.

But the point is, we made a decision

And we gotta stick with it.

You all right ?

No.

Me and cory have spent hours...

Using her therapy words and everything.

Describing how miserable we are with him around us.

How much we hate ourselves when we're around them.

How much he puts me down, calls me "chubs".

Makes me feel so stupid.

Chubs.

Chubs, I mean nobody in my life has ever called me chubs.

It's like the whole makings of a a*usive relationship.

Like he convinces you that you're--

Not worthy of all these things

And that you're a terrible person.

And then he comes back and says "but I love you."

That's you guys.

That's your confidence within yourself.

Just because this man comes into your life

And has a little bit of fun to him.

And is able to flip on and off

You like question yourselves.

Get out of here !

Y'all need to take a look in the mirror

And decide what you want to be.

And then don't let anybody else tell you different.

Go stephanie.

No ! You know what I'm saying ?

Can you be--you are so right on.

You are so, right on.

God, everything you just said.

'Til you can show me a little bit of respect

There's no point of having a relationship

And there's no point in you calling here.

You're figuring things out, and that's cool.

But when the next time that phone rings let's see how you handle it.

[ Phone ringing ]

Hello.

It's the puck.

What's up ?

Miss me ?

Umm...

Sometimes.

That means "yes".

That means "sometimes".

What are you saying you want to hang out with me ?

What ?

Do you want to hang out with me rachel ?

If you'd like to meet, sure.

Guarantee that you're not gonna yell at me though.

Oh rachel.

All right.

Just guarantee me you're nice and you miss me.

What are we gonna do rachel ?

Are you gonna go to movies with me or something ?

No.

That's kind of a date thing.

We can do friend things.

Friend things are the movies.

Puck, stop it !

I just wanna go to a movie I don't wanna kiss you anymore.

I don't want to kiss you either.

I don't believe you.

I swear it.

Right now.

I don't want to kiss you.

"Chuber".

I'm not fat.

I didn't say you were fat.

I said chub, you got chub.

I'm not a chuber, either.

Buy up to it, you little chuber.i'm not.

I kind of thought that maybe it would be a little different

That he would like chill out.

And I was disappointed because

It was really puck saying that we're lame.

It's not my fault rachel if you're not going on.

Puck saying that we're jerks.

Puck, wait a-- second.

Me pretentious, and having the power.

And flexing your whole democratic muscle didn't you ?

That's why I'm not politically correct, right there.

'Cause you're all sheep !

Puck telling me how great his life is without us.

I'm having fun.

My whole life is about fun.

All my friends see it.

It's funny that I'm such an a*s-- [ beep ]

That I have all the friends, huh ?

Whatever.no, not whatever.

God d--it I hate it when you say that !

Such a hypocrite.

Forget it.

I was really disappointed with the whole thing.

Dude, I get an "e" for "effort" with that dude though.

I have tried over and over.

At least I made a decision, that's the only good part.

I really have pretty much shut him out of my life.

I'm years old--

If there is one thing in my entire life

That I ever regret

More than I anything I've ever done

Is just kissing him.

[ Judd ] three hours until...da-da-da-daa !

New fish.

The day we were getting our new roomate

There was a certain amount of energy in the air

About who's gonna come walking through the door.

I think the most important thing is that they be nice and fun.

And male.

What's nice and fun for you...

I know that's true. God knows.

I mean, puck was fun for you for a while.

Hello.hi, I'm here to look at the room.

Hi.hi.

I'm judd.i'm jo.

We had no plan about--

How we were gonna go about this,

Or how we were gonna speak to the people coming through the door.

[ Rachel ] where you from, jo ?

Originally I'm from london, england.

It was really kind of off the cuff.

As a matter of fact, everyone was up and about and still doing things.

Are there any vegetarians in the house ?

Right there.yeah !

The minute she opened her mouth, I liked her.

The winter before that I was out in italy for months.

Actually I was managing a bar out there for the ski season.

But I got to ski every day

That was the reason I was a ski bum.

I was hangin' out.

I rock climb.

Wow.

Girls are normally really good at rock climbing

'Cause they have a higher tolerance for pain.

[ Cory ] really ? Girls ?yeah.

[ Rachel ] she said, "it's not just about me moving in here

It's about me showing you guys something."

And I thought that was like the perfect thing to say.

The minute a good looking guy walks in that door

You'll forget. "Jo, jo who ?"

Hi. How you doin' ?

Mark.pedro.

Pedro, how you doin' ?

Mark ? Yeah.

What's your name ?mark.

How are you ?nice to meet you.

Where should I sit ?

Anywhere you want.

Mark was this blond fraternity guy from florida.

The houses seem like they're right on top of each other.

There like this far,

Like you can reach into someone's house and take something.

[ Rachel ] really clean cut.

I like to play basketball.

I jog.

Very photogenic.

I work out. Five days a week.

Basically "ken" from "ken and barbie".

At my school, the big night...

"", "Melrose place" ?yes.

Right on ! Do it !woo !

They hate you, we like you.

[ Cory ] he was a really cool guy.

He'd be a very easy person to have in the house.

Very easy to get along with.

Hi-ya. Hi.

I'm judd.i'm kris.

Kris, hi, good to meet you.

C'mon in.

Wow ! Hello.

How are you ?

I'm judd, good to meet you.

Then, in walked barbie.

Barbie's "dream house".

What do you do ?

I'm getting ready to go to real estate school.

Uh-huh.

And I'm just working part-time at a restaurant.

Uh-huh.

Doing hosting. And some c*ck.

Umm...

Kris didn't seem to have much to say.

Really great teeth though.

Did anyone else notice that ? She had really terrific teeth.

Why would I want to move in here ?

I think it'd be-- I've never lived with a lot of people...

And I think it'd be a really good experience, you know,

To get to know people that normally I wouldn't get a chance to know.

I don't have like this creative answer.

Think of one, dammit.

She was holding back a lot.

When someone holds back a lot you can assume one of two things.

Either one, that they're holding back a lot

And there's a lot there.

Or that they're holding back a lot

And there's not much there.

[ Rachel ] I think that jo looks better in person than she does--

[ Cory ] yeah, to me too.

[ Mohammed ] personality to me is so much more attractive.

Oh yeah.obviously.

We're not judging on-- if they're photogenic.

No, ken would have to win.

Ken and barbie.

They are !

Oh my gosh !

[ Pam ] I trusted her less than mark--

Mark was a lot-- mark was really genuine.

And he was really nice, y'know what I mean.

I-- for me it's between jo and mark.

[ Pam ] yeah, me too.

I like jo, I really do.

I just think that mark is gonna be less of,

You know, anything in the house.

He seemed like a person who wouldn't rock the boat too much.

Either of those two are good to me.

I'm not attracted to mark so I'm never...

You knew that was gonna come out.

Do you want to vote or are we all in agreement here ?

Who are you voting for, judd ?

I like jo.i like jo too.

[ Rachel ] I feel so bad, he was so nice.

Let's just go around.

Let's just go around.

My preference falls heavily with jo.

I strongly prefer her I think, to mark.

I was, you know, vote jo, not to rock the boat.

[ Rachel ] I vote jo but I just don't want to tell mark.

I know, I don't want to make the phone call.

[ Pedro ] actually who's gonna do that ?

Oh hi, is mark there ?

Mark, how you doing ? This is judd, from over the house on lombard.

I'm just gonna make this quick, 'cause I don't want to keep you in suspense.

We decided to ask someone else to live with us.

And you really-- you shouldn't take this at all personally.

You're a really terrific guy.

"You're a terrific guy." That's what he said, he said that twice.

I'm like, if somebody told me "you're a terrific gal."

I would have been like "you know, up yours."

Not that I did so much greater with kris.

We're really glad you came by.

It was really nice meeting you.

We decided on somebody else though.

[ Phone ringing ]

Hello.

Hi, is jo there ?

It's me.

Jo, how you doing ? This is judd from over the house on lombard.

Hi judd, how you doing ?

Well I just wanted to keep this kind of quick.

Uh-huh.

There's a lot of things happen when you do this sort of thing.

We talk about the dynamics of the house.

And who will go right with where.

[ Rachel ] judd, just--jo, we like you !

We like you jo, come over !

Jo we'd like you to move in with us if that's okay ?

Yeaaah !

When do you want to move in ?

Well, I'm ready.

You could do it tonight if you'd like.

C'mon on over.

Okay.

All right, we're excited.

[ Jo ] I think I'm gonna have a really wonderful time here.

I think it's gonna be the most unique experience of my life.

Hi, jo.hi.

Hey ![ Rachel ] hey jo !

You're gonna be in here.

If you want to change.

Cory's walked in on me naked like twice.

Oh, I'm not shy.

I'm used to being around in hot springs stuff like that.

Plus I lived with guys in italy

And I mean it was pretty hard to be modest.

And you should try to live in that house.

When I arrived,

They all just got over the whole puck thing.

And, they've been willing to share parts of that with me.

And I feel like everyone in the house

Has just welcomed me, with open arms.

[ Rachel ] well there's, four girls now.

I like that there's four girls.

I do too, now.

Girls rule the house then, haaa !

I just seem so glad that we got jo.

I'm so happy to be here.

Well, I'm going to bed. I'll see you tomorrow.

[ Judd ] good night, jo.good night.

And welcome to the house.

Thanks.

Steve is a very, very important person in my life.

I don't have any family here.

So him and kelly are like my family.

[ Rachel ] steve is this dude

That she lives with back in tahoe.

He's like a friend.

And he came down, took us rock climbing.

You'll be like the beginner

Who actually gets the hang of it really fast.

No, I'll be the pris

Who's just concerned about how cute my feet look in these little things.

We went to simpson beach

And walked to these rocks that are

Supposed to be pretty well known in the rock climbing world.

I had never rock climbed before in my life.

Ever.

Holy--

How'd you guys get up here ?

Oh yeah. No problem.

What do you think, rach ?

Yeah, it looks really easy.

We did some relatively difficult climbs for beginners.

I like to rock climb a lot.

It enables me to focus on other things in my life.

What am I holding on to ?[ Steve ] go all the way up.

[ Rachel ] it really surprised me to see

How much skill it required and technique.

[ Cory ] you're using your fingers and your toes

To put all your body weight on.

And try to stand up on that.

Half the time they're like, "grab on to that,

"That hole right there.

That hole's perfect."

And I'm going, "what ?

"The tippy-toes of my fingers fit in that hole.

That's not perfect, that's nothing."

I hated it.

Oh god.

[ Jo ] watch that foot you're okay.

Grab on right there.

And I'm like, "where ? The rock's perfectly flat.

I can't grab on to anything."

It's okay, just work through it.

C'mon, you can do it.

Ohh...

All right, you guys, I have to come down

My fingers are k*lling me.

[ Rachel ] by the time I looked at the second rock

I was like, "no way, I'll make it maybe up to the first part."

So what do you think ?

You think I can do it ?

You should at least try.

Try everything you can.

Grab every chance you get.

You go up the first part and then this part is slanted.

And it looks almost just vertical and flat.

Now use your arms to pull your weight up on that foot.

There you go.

Really good.[ Cory ] woo !

Yeah !

I felt safe.

Because I really trusted steve.

But there's just that feeling when you look down.

And you're just like "whoa man

If the rope doesn't work I'm gonna really die."

O.k. Now, concentrate and pick out where you want

To put your hands and your feet.

There you go.

Just like that.

Yeah she's gonna make it all the way up, huh.

I saw myself in a way that I never thought that I would ever be.

I think that I learned the most about myself

And weaknesses, from puck.

And I learned from that, because I learned that I never want to be like that again.

And I never want to feel controlled like that again.

And I'll never allow a man to control me like that again.

You got it.

Keep pulling up. There you go.

Now reach all the way up there.

You got it.

[ Jo ] stand up on that right foot

Trust that right foot.

Yes.

Right on, rachel.

Go ahead, lean back.

I shocked myself.

I really impressed myself.

I used my strength--

[ Jo ] rachel climbed really well.

[ Cory ] rachel was determined, man.

She did awesome.

Congratulations, rachel.

I think things are gonna go a lot better for me.

I predict that me and jo, are gonna become great friends.

On the next real world...

[ Judd ] jessica's a very, very good friend from college.

And we've even discussed moving this relationship to a romantic level.

I don't want to screw it up.

Okay.

Why doesn't he just leave me alone ?

You know, why is he appealing ?

[ Jo ] I never expected something like this to happen between me--

And yet, here I am.

I've never had a big dog before.

I've always had little rat dogs.

Yeah, I specifically got that type of dog for a reason.

You like big dog's huh ?

Well just for the outdoor's.

Being able to take the snow.

Exactly.

She's pretty impressive out in the snow.

For a , feet down, she'll just run straight down.

How old is she ?three.

Yeah the dog's a vegetarian too.

We make the food.

She eats brown rice and vegetables.

That's what her food is made of.

Your dog ?yeah.yeah.

'Cause dogs are herbivores also.
