04x08 - Hounds of Love

Post by bunniefuu »

[male narrator] Previously on "The Real World.."

[Jacinda] We just got back yesterday, Paul and I.

He's also doing modeling, that's how we met.

He definitely wasn't happy

that I was going, he was really sad.

If I have time, I'll come up to London.

Okay.

[Mike] The girl that I'm really gonna like

is just gonna be random chance, you know.

The girl in the cafe, in the very back--

- 'That was a guy.' - 'That was a guy, man.'

[laughter]

[Kat] This is the true story..

[Neil] Of seven strangers..

[man] Seven strangers..

[Jacinda] Picked to live in a house..

[Jay] And have their lives taped..

[Lars] To find out what happens..

[Mike] When people stop being polite..

[Sharon] And start getting real..

"The Real World," London.

[telephone ringing]

[Paul on phone] 'I just, I miss you so bad.'

[Jacinda] With Paul, I've been together like, five months probably.

Don't be bummed, please.

Of course, it's wonderfulto know

somebody misses you and everything.

[Paul] 'I love you many, many, big, big times'

'pretty girl with blond hair.'

See, for me, it's-it, it's different and he knows that.

I totally adjusted to my situation here

and he hadn't been a part of this.

I'll show you pictures.

[Mike] 'When is he gonna come visit you?'

I don't know, I don't know.

And I don't know.

He said, "I know that you can't be missing me

the same way that I'm missing you."

Because I've just had so much going on.

you know, new people, new house

and, and I'm doing different things now too.

I'll just walk around to your side of the airplane..

I took my first flying lesson yesterday.

It was great, I mean, I love flying.

I just love being up there in the air.

[male #] 'Our nose is dropping, we're gonna go into'

a spiral dive towards the ground.

We're going faster and faster, the airspeed's increasing

'your plane is basically out of control.'

[instrumental music]

I've always liked airplanes.

I mean, ever since I was little

I just loved being up there.

- 'You have control, Jacinda?' - I have control.

It's one of like hundred things

what I've wanted to do and now

is the time for me to get to do it.

[music continues]

[telephone ringing]

- 'I'm coming.' - 'Are you?'

[Paul on phone] 'I'm leaving tomorrow. Milan-Heathrow.'

[Jacinda] When Paul told me he was coming

he was really excited and stuff

and I just, I would, I had to say, you know

look, I don't know how I'm gonna feel

when you, when you come because it'd been so long

since I'd seen him.

- 'Hey, baby?' - What?

[Paul] 'I love you.'

- I know. - 'You don't.'

- I know. - 'You know?'

Yes, 'cause you tell me every time.

[Mike] 'How long have you guys been going out?'

[Jacinda] 'Six months.'

Is he the man?

Or is he just the dude that you're nailing now?

[Jacinda] He's not the dude that I'm nailing now.

It doesn't work like that with me.

[Mike] 'Would you marry Paul?'

Oh, God, I don't know.

It's, that's not even in my frame of concept.

What about you?

Have you ever met the one?

- I thought I did. - Did you?

She was a b*tch.

- Like they all are. - You liar.

'You only say that she was a b*tch'

'cause you got dissed or something.'

- I happened to walk in on her.. - Oh, God, did you?

And one of my good friends, like, going crazy.

And yeah, I mean, I don't know

You know, I was in love and now I'm not and..

You know, it was, it was a lot of...crap to worry about.

So how long were you guys together?

Nine months.

Long time for me.

And you loved her?

Oh, yeah.

It was like stupid.

[guitar music]

Now I just like to go out and have a good time

and, uh, whatever happens, happens.

♪ Oh yeah ♪♪

[rock music]

I've been majorly hanging out with Mike

which, um, sort of surprises me.

[music continues]

[Mike] I like going to the clubs with Lars

because we think very alike when we go out.

I saw another, just smoking chick.

She had these tight spandex pants on.

Well, this is gonna be really good.

Lars and I can talk about, you know, the hardcore stuff.

You know, we can talk about sex and women and all that stuff.

Let's just go hardcore straight for some nasties.

Mike, I ain't never going out with you anymore.

[Lars] He majorly goes out to get girls.

That's like, his thing.

Like, that's, that's all he talks about.

Just take them back to their place

and never talk to 'em again.

Man, uh, I'm really looking forward

to my mom coming to visit me and meeting you.

She's gonna love you, you know?

I'm just like that around guys.

I'm not like that around moms.

I mean, I wouldn't go up to a girl and say

something stupid like that.

Yeah, you would.

[instrumental music]

[Mike] I-I am the biggest wuss

when it comes to talking to girls.

That's why I like going with Lars.

If I'm with Lars

and Lars will see somebody

and can introduce me

then I'm, I'm really good.

But if it's me and I see a girl

I mean, I don't have ba*ls to just go

and make that move!

[instrumental music]

Oh, Lars, I hope this is fun.

We went to a club last night.

It was, uh, supposedly a single's dinner.

You pay ten pounds

to have dinner, listen to music

and at the tables they had phones.

So you'd sit and you call these

random people up who you saw at tables.

[Mike] 'Oh, Lars is already doing well.'

'Lars is just pullin' em in.'

- Hello! - Oh, man.

[Lars] 'So what's your name?'

Tricky?

Nikki, okay, I got it, Nikki.

[Mike] It was fun, it was kinda neat.

And this one girl called me up.

Hello? Hello!

And she's like, "So what are you doing here?"

I drive race cars.

Turned out to be that her brother races cars.

What sort of race cars?

Formula Renault Sport.

- Do you know James Matthews? - Yeah.

And so that was kinda neat.

So we talked about that for a while

and t-the whole night was kind of fun.

We had a good time.

And then as we were walking out, it was like, you know..

Well, like, well, you know, "Do you want to come?"

I'm like, "Well, let's see."

And then all of a sudden all her friends

started talking about her boyfriend.

[male #] 'Hey, Debby, what about Marcus?'

[indistinct chattering]

[Mike] I think all that hassling that her friends gave her

kinda guided her away from it.

But I think it might've worked if, uh

if, uh, her friends weren't around.

I don't know, just a guess.

- Good luck. - Oh, sure, I'll see you again.

- Yeah, okay. - I'm pretty sure of it.

[Mike] Oh, Lars, do we know how to have a good time.

[instrumental music]

- Hey, baby. - Hi.

[Jacinda] I just thought it was gonna be so strange to see him

and I don't know how I'm gonna feel about him.

Oh, it's sweet.

I'm so used to being by myself again.

When you went away and I, and I didn't have anybody

then I was like, "Ah.."

And now I'm so used to..

...being by myself.

It takes getting used to again.

This is the longest we'd ever been away.

So, we were both kind of just not putting big expectations.

Just waiting to see, you know, how it would be.

♪ Say something anything ♪

♪ Give me a sign♪♪

When Paul was coming, I expected somebody more like Jacinda.

You know, free-spirited, you know don't really care

what happens with anything.

[Mike] 'That's Neil, he can't talk.'

'He's the mute of the house.'

Oh, yeah, he's, he's the kind of guy

Jacinda would date.

He's just got that sweet streak in him.

I tried talking to him, and there was like

nothing coming out of his mouth.

[Mike] You know, I was like, "So where are you from?"

"Uh, LA."

- 'How old are you?' - Twenty.

- Twenty? - Yup.

You know, that was like, that was like, our conversation.

[Jacinda] I've never gone out with somebody younger than me.

And Paul is younger than me and it makes things difficult.

It looked like Jacinda was kind of in control

of that relationship.

[dramatic music]

Paul and I are not exactly the same

in the way we go about handling things.

♪ You can't change the way I am ♪♪

Throw that away.

Where's the trash?

- Oh, I'm God, I know. - You're so bad.

I guess that's why I like you.

♪ Just try and love me if you can ♪

♪ Are you strong enough to be my man ♪

♪ Ohh ♪♪

Ten weeks is too long not to see you.

You said that after ten days too.

[Jacinda chuckles]

♪ Oh baby oh baby ♪♪

I'd been wanting a dog forever.

So, he's a little boy?

- That's a boy, yeah. - Hi, sweety!

[female #] 'Do you live in a flat or a house?'

Uh, the thing is, I live with six young single people.

'And I mean, they're all dying to have a dog.'

[Lars] 'I generally don't really'

like the idea of her buying a dog.

I want like a little naughty one with character.

[female #] 'That one I think is definitely it.'

It seemed like she wanted a dog

just like a little girl wants a Barbie doll

and she went out and got a dog.

Promise you'll not be all boring. Are you boring?

♪ I don't want no regular ♪

♪ I don't want no regular thing ♪♪

You're expensive.

[female #] 'It's a thing that you have to think very carefully about.'

'I wouldn't rush into anything.'

Okay, I'm gonna, I'll have to think about it now anyway.

What time are you open till today?

- 'Six o'clock.' - Okay.

I think you should get him.

He's so expensive though.

You're gonna have him for years.

Are you ready for the commitment?

I'm gonna get him.

- Right, you're sure? - I'm positive.

Alright.

See, it's like, his color.

Or you can get puppy shampoo.

Aw..

You got a new mama.

Well, thanks, bye.

I bought a dog.

His name is Legend. And he's a little [beep].

But I love him already, he's so cute.

It's okay, honey, come here.

♪ Little b*stard ♪

No, no, no, no, no!

Oh-oh..

Too late.

First accident.

Paul, Paul.

I need your help.

'Oh, gross.'

♪ Little b*stard ♪♪

[Neil] I think it's going to be a very spoiled dog.

Oh, my God. I didn't see you.

No way.

I can't believe it.

[Sharon] 'He's cute though, you gotta admit.'

Oh, he likes you.

- We have a dog? - Jacinda brought one today.

Oh, fabulous.

Say good night to Neil.

Go away.

I don't believe the dog's being trained at all.

Jacinda doesn't seem to train it at all

apart from saying "Hello, doggie"

and congratulating it when it [beep]

somewhere near a piece of newspaper.

♪ Oh my God yes Oh my God! ♪♪

Let's go take a look at the stupid dog.

Oh, we have a dog now?

[Jay] I'm just really hoping

the dog learns to do his thing

with the newspaper and everything.

I'm just really hoping that happens.

Oh, you're all floppy.

[Lars] I don't really think Jacinda is quite aware of

how much work and how much responsibility it is.

Because it's, it's alive. It's an animal.

- Oh, my God. - He's just like a mop.

Everybody in the house was like..

"Is this a good idea?" You know.

Lars was very, like..

"I don't know if you should get a dog."

I don't care, I love him.

He's, he's wonderful.

[rock music]

[Sharon] 'Guys, there's a queue here, do you mind queuing?'

- 'No, that's a line.' - 'Oh, yeah.'

Where are the American women, Sharon?

I want clean-cut American women.

My name's Buffy.

- Must be alright. - Oh, hey, come again?

- Buffy? - Yeah.

[Mike] At the O bar I met a girl named Buffy.

[laughing]

Whoo!

[Buffy] 'I can read you like a book already.'

[Mike] 'So what's on page, uh, ?'

Page is a guy who used to be shy

broke out of his shell sometime

like sophomore year of high school.

- Holy sh.. - Am I right?

She said something that was like

right out of my past, and I was like, "Wow."

I don't get into this, I just like to like--

Oh, come on, you can do it.

- You got it. - You just showed me what to do.

[Sharon] 'Michael!'

I really don't know what I'm doing.

That's alright, there you go.

See you need to dance with Lars

because Lars is like, smooth and like--

[Mike] Buffy was a..

I mean, Buffy was just kinda like..

Was very..

I mean, sexual towards everything.

[Buffy] I'll give you one, you ready?

[speaking in French]

What does it mean?

[beep] me hard on the stairs.

[dramatic music]

[telephone ringing]

- 'Mike!' - 'Who is it?'

[Sharon] 'It's Buffy.'

[Neil] 'Buffy, the vampire slayer.'

Buffy?

You didn't tell me her name was Buffy.

- You didn't ask. - Names are important.

Mike, are you coming to this phone?

You're talking on it.

I mean, are you gonna keep the lady

waiting on the other end?

[Mike] 'Tell her I'll be there in a minute.'

That's so cheeky!

He said to tell you he'll be there in a minute

'He's sitting there, he just won't move his fat butt.'

- Hello. - 'Hi.'

- Hello. - It's Buffy, how are you?

No, I don't have any interest in Buffy. That's fine.

I don't know if I'm gonna hook up with anybody or not.

It's not like breaking me down every night

when I have to go to bed by myself, you know.

It's not k*lling me or anything, so.

Well, I'm not really worried about it.

- Okay. Alright. - 'Okay. Take care.'

- Okay. Bye. - Bye-bye.

I just wanna slap you so badly.

I know you do.

You checked the number, didn't you?

- And it was SW-? - Yeah.

Get back over here. Bad dog. Bad.

He's your responsibility, you have to love him.

- Let me find it. - It's somewhere around here.

I'm already minutes late.

Why didn't you check that?

You should know that when you live in Europe

you have to check everything.

- I made a mistake, I'm sorry. - I know.

I was just trying to help you out, I made a mistake.

You're so difficult.

- I'm difficult? - Yes.

- You'redifficult. - Why am I difficult?

You know you're difficult.

Why? I asked you, why am I difficult?

What I'll do is, I'll stop in New York to get our, our stuff.

Isn't that cool?

To like get our stuff?

- Not just my stuff. - It's so cool, Paul.

It is, it makes me happy.

[Jacinda] Paul is really young but he is..

I mean, he already talks

about marriage and everything.

I just can't even think like that right now.

It's not even a prospect on my immediate horizon.

I don't know how he can be so sure at his age

but he said, he knows

he said he wants to..

...be together forever.

So he's kind of at a different level in that respect.

Come over to my house.

I can't, it's too far

'and I have to get up so early tomorrow.'

What, what's wrong?

- I was just disappointed. - 'In what?'

Why do you get like, all upset so quick? So quick.

Is it 'cause you've got your periods, is that why?

No, no, no, no, no!

Don't be a sulk.

Don't be a sulk.

Why don't you come over and, like

leave at two in the morning?

Because I have to get up early

and I've done that every night and I need sleep.

What's wrong with you?

I don't wanna be with you when you're like this.

I think that like, as far as, I guess

you know, how much we love each other.

It's not completely equal at the moment.

[Paul on phone] 'Why are you just dissing me like this?'

- I'm not! - 'Yes, you are.'

Oh, stop it.

- 'You know what, you suck.' - Thank you.

He just thought that I wasn't

showing him enough affection.

[Paul] 'You don't even care that I'm hurt right now.'

He doesn't very often freak out or get really angry.

But when he does, ugh, it's, it's really big.

- 'You really suck.' - Well, you should come over.

You can talk to me.

Instead of talking to me on the telephone, okay?

[Paul] 'I don't want to meet you at your house.'

Okay, bye.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chattering]

- Hello. - Hi.

[Mike] May is a girl from Germany

who spent a year as an exchange student

with a girl that I know in St. Louis.

A couple weeks ago

she came to visit one of her friends

and she called me up and said, you know, "This is May.

Do you remember me? I'm here in England."

Julie told me to say hi to you.

Did I tell you that last night?

[Jay] I find May interesting, I mean

we have a good time, she's very pretty.

It was fun to talk about the lake

in, in St. Louis and our old friends.

We just, I don't know

we just kind of hung out together.

♪ Can I stay with you babe ♪

Oh, we went out, I guess, a couple of nights.

And, uh, went out and saw a movie together and stuff.

♪ Can I stay with you babe ♪

♪ Through the end of all time ♪

♪ Oh baby ♪

♪ Please ♪

♪ Let me stay through the night ♪♪

[Jay] May was just kinda..

She kinda..

I don't know, she was like

in Mike's bed all of a sudden.

I pulled the curtain, "Whoa, there's a girl in there."

When did that happen?

[Neil] 'Hey, you've a girl in your bed, excellent.'

That's Neil, do you know Neil?

No, I haven't. Nice to meet you.

Neil, May, May, Neil.

- How do you do? - Just fine.

Okay, I'll see you later then.

I can't do anything about it.

I just live here.

[barking]

That last night on the phone.

That wasn't you.

I never heard that person before.

I guess you never saw me get, really angry.

[Jacinda] My feelings about him hadn't changed.

And then we had this huge, big, rigmarole conversation

which wasn't necessary.

And just to realize that everything

was still the same.

You're naughty, you know you are.

Yeah, I was mean, I'm sorry.

Mean and naughty and bad.

- Just the two of you guys? - Uh, oh, yeah.

May is really cool but, you know

she lives in Germany, so we're just

gonna have fun while she's here.

She came over one night, and, uh, you know

we stayed up all night before she

had to catch a flight out.

Oh, you are so nice to me. Thanks a lot.

Should I keep it forever on there?

- Mm-hmm. - You want me to?

Exactly what was going on with May.

I don't think anybody quite knew.

'They sat and watched videos knowing'

'that they weren't ever gonna see each other again.'

♪ We don't even talk anymore ♪

♪ We don't even know what.. ♪♪

[Mike] You know, I might see May again

you know, some random summer

at the lake or something.

Or I might visit her when I visit

Lars in Germany.

But it was one random thing

and then everyone was treating it like

I should have been going out

with her or something.

I had to kinda pick Mike's brain

as to, uh, what that was all about.

[Jay] 'You didn't even say one word to her.'

- What'd you want me to do, Jay? - I don't know.

I didn't want to go out with the girl.

Didn't want to marry her.

[Jay] '"Didn't want to go out with the girl"'

'Is that what you said?'

You guys spent the night together, the last two nights.

How isn't that a good thing?

All I know is, if I'm with a girl and I'll have to..

Have her stay over at my house two nights.

Hey, the night before I'm not gonna see her again

why I'll just take her to go see videos with Jay and his friends.

Alright, I guess, I should have proposed to her.

And told her I loved her and bought her some flowers.

[Mike] Like you go to Florida for spring break

and you hook up with somebody

and you go home and you never see that person again.

And that's all it is.

You know, you don't go home and cry.

You don't go home and write letters.

That sucks.

Whenever there's a woman that's nice

intelligent, really good looking

and she spends the night in your bed

you know, I just..

For me it seemed like that would be something

that meant something to me.

But, that was just another day

in the life of Mike Johnson, I guess.

[instrumental music]

[Jacinda] The two weeks that he was here

was wonderful and I'm really happy.

And I guess now I'm gonna miss him.

♪ I know somebody and they cry for you ♪

♪ They lie awake at night and dream of you ♪♪

It's not that I'm unsure about

our relationship, not at all.

I'm perfectly happy

and, and content and I feel wonderful with it.

But I'm just..

I don't really think

that we can exactly foresee

what's gonna happen especially at our age

and especially when we're in such unusual situations.

[sniffling] I hate this so much.

I'm gonna miss you so bad.

Do you have anything to say to me?

Get lost, go.

Get out of here.

It was really sad, It was horrible

saying goodbye to Paul.

But those particular goodbyes

aren't such a huge thing anymore

because I've, I had to do them

for five and a half years constantly

with my families or friends.

[instrumental music]

[male narrator] On the next "Real World.."

How you doing, girl?

[Jay] Marissa was like

my first touch of love.

[Mike] 'Racing starts in two weeks.'

And I'm getting negative help from my father.

Hello, welcome to London.

Wouldn't it be good to get a job?

My father bitched at me all my life

and I'm really afraid I'm gonna end up like him!

Does it feel better without the stitches?

A little bit, bit more, yeah.

Some complete sadist pulled my stitches out.

Hu-raaah!

Took out stitches in about a minute.

I'm out of that conversation.

It was three medical students.

They pulled out stitches

in about a minute and a half.

"Don't worry about the blood, see ya later, bye."

All this blood coming out.

Hey, you didn't even tell me.

You didn't say a thing!

[Neil] 'I'm a hard man.'

I'm not one to whine.

[Sharon] But your girly was there holding

your hand, wasn't she?

[Neil] 'She was holding my foot.'
