04x22 - Out of Africa...and Outta Here!

[bunniefuu]

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

- Kenya! Ah! - Ah!

I'm going to Africa.

[instrumental music]

Oh, look at how many of them there are!

[Jacinda] We went to this Maasai village.

[Neil] To be confronted with a Maasai warrior

who actually goes out and kills lions with a spear.

Something that's just completely incredible to me.

- 'Oh, my God!' - 'Doing that right here?'

Their main diet, I guess, is blood and fat and meat.

They don't really eat much else.

[Mike] 'Hey, Sharon, come here!'

[Jacinda] 'Kat, Kat, they're k*lling a goat.'

[Sharon] And me being a vegetarian

obviously, I was uncomfortable with this.

To me, it just offends me.

m*rder offends me.

[Kat] This is the true story..

[Neil] Of seven strangers..

[male #] 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.

[instrumental music]

I guess Sharon didn't want to be around for that.

[speaking in foreign language]

[Lars] The thing that amazed me the most

was how they k*lled the goat, they simply suffocated it.

[Neil] 'They're gonna be sitting on it.'

[Lars] 'Why doesn't the goat say anything?'

- 'Is it already dead?' - 'Now it's dead.'

- Those are sharp knives. - They're so good at it.

[speaking in foreign language]

Oh, my God!

[Jay] 'Oh, my, that's slurping is so..'

'It is so good.'

[screaming and laughing]

Get in line, Neil, get in line.

- 'Come on, man.' - Ew.

[Mike] 'Sharon, it's all over, you can come back now.'

[Jay] We got to see kind of the whole process.

They, uh, k*lled the goat and then skinned the thing

and, and cut it up and cooked it.

It was, it was different.

[Jay] 'Oh...God.'

It tastes like lamb.

Oh, I swear that turns my stomach.

[Sharon] Every single living being on this Earth

has a soul, in my mind.

Their life is of no less value than mine.

But with the Maasai I could understand and respect

why they had to k*ll the goat.

You know, it would not have been realistic for me

to have tried to make a dash with the goat

you know, liberate the goat.

I mean, what could you have done?

If you had screamed and cried and yelled at those people

they would have done it anyway.

No, I know, I know. I'm not saying it's all cool.

I'm not even saying I could have succeeded

but the fact was I did nothing.

So would that have made a difference?

Yes.

Because you objected even if it was pointless?

Yes, because if I can allow that to happen

if I can stand by and allow that happen

then I just have to question

how deeply this thing goes within me.

But, what could you have possibly done?

I would have done..

Even if I just voiced an objection--

You walked over here when you objected.

The goat knows that you didn't approve.

[Kat] 'Sharon, what could you have done?'

'You would still be left feeling the same way.'

Yes, I know that, I know that.

It's freezing and you're ill down here in the dark.

There's lions and elephants and all kinds of things around here.

- Oh, there are not. - There are.

I'm gonna go ask anyway, what--

We haven't seen one single lion in two days.

And she was down on the hill not even being able to come near it

until every scrap of that was removed.

[indistinct chatter]

I mean, it's a shame that Sharon is upset.

It upsets Sharon far more than it interests me.

So, maybe it shouldn't have happened.

[speaking in foreign language]

[male #] 'How are you feeling?'

'So, you feel good sitting here alone?'

It's very beautiful, actually.

You're not scared of anything coming up?

[Sharon] 'I really hadn't thought about it, until Jacinda'

she said to me about, you know, like, lions and elephants.

I didn't really think it was a real possibility.

Maybe you should have some blood?

Would you like to try some blood?

- 'No, don't want to taste?' - I'm vegetarian.

- 'Ah, you don't eat meat.' - No.

[whistles] Unheard of in Maasai.

This is the first time you've seen a goat being slaughtered?

- Hmm? - This is the first time?

Like a goat or anything else being..

Mmm, I've never had to.

I mean, for us, it's everyday life.

I know.

[speaking in foreign language]

[male #] 'What do you eat?'

Potatoes, carrots, so many things.

Have you been sick, he's asking, have you been sick, so, I mean..

How do I explain to him?

You could just say religious reasons.

Look, it's okay, I'll stay down here

but she's down in the dark by herself

and she's scared of the dark.

I mean she is, she's not gonna be--

We're gonna cook, we'll cook the meat on a..

We'll make a fire separately

and we'll cook the meat separate.

Sharon is more important than the meat, let's go and tell her.

[Jacinda] She'll literally sit down there for hours.

Can they cut more leaves that side?

[speaking in foreign language]

And then we'll just transfer all the meat over.

Because she really is upset.

- Are you married? - Mm-mm.

[speaking in foreign language]

'He's saying "I'd, I would like to come'

'and marry you in your country."'

[laughing]

Tell him I said, "Thank you very much."

Yeah, surely.

[speaking in foreign language]

[male #] 'He's saying, "What about if you go and come back'

'and he'll get married to you when you come back."'

Tell him, "I'd have to eat goat

and that just would never happen."

What's up, girl?

But you can tell him I definitely will be back.

Definitely, you're coming back, so, he's saying

"Is she coming back for me?"

Some love interest we've got here.

Yeah, something..

- 'Are you coming back for..' - What? Say "Not really."

'Cause you see, they're into like more than one wife.

You see, the idea doesn't really appeal to me.

At least you'll have somebody sharing the burden.

- Yeah. - Interesting.

Umm, it's safe to come up if you want, Sharon.

[Jacinda] I told Nick the situation, and they've moved everything.

Oh, God, they didn't have to do that!

Well, it's either that or you sit down here for hours.

It was fine.

You're welcome to sit by the fire 'cause it's cold out here.

[Sharon] 'Yeah.'

'Thank you very much, Neil.'

Afterwards, I did feel guilty

that I didn't say or do anything.

So, what I decided to do was just

to do a fast until the next day

just in honor of, of, of that life going.

Where's the dead animals?

I have nothing dead on my plate.

[Kat] 'Yum...yum.'

Do you feel left out over there not eating, Sharon?

No, I said I don't want to discuss this.

I've said it, let's not discuss it.

Wait, wait, wait, it's only corn, isn't it?

If I get into it, you'll be in my face.

So let's just, like, stop it before it begins.

[Neil] Really, I won't be in your face about it.

I'm really interested, why?

If you really want to know why I'm doing it

I'll tell you, but I don't even want to discuss it.

Okay, well, you tell me, I won't say a word.

Neil and I are not gonna say a word.

I'm, I'm making an action

a conscious decision to make an action.

After the event

but it's, it's all that's within my control.

Okay, alright, fair enough.

- I won't say a word. - Thank you, Neil.

Yee!

[speaking in foreign language]

[chuckling] What did he say?

[male #] 'He's going to get married to you.'

- Oh, is he? - Yeah.

[speaking in foreign language]

What did he say?

You get married to him and you take him to

where you come from.

He would give up all this Maasai culture for that?

His brothers will, will take care of his cattle.

And he'll go take care of what you have.

[Jacinda laughs]

[speaking in foreign language]

What, what did he say?

[male #] 'I mean, he's asking'

'"Don't you have any cattle where you come from?"'

[Jacinda] 'No, I have a dog.

[laughing]

[speaking in foreign language]

[male #] 'Where do you keep this animal?'

Well, I-I have no animals, just one dog.

[male #] 'Is he a brave dog?'

- No. - Yes.

- 'No?' - No.

[Jacinda] They thought I was poor because I didn't have any cattle.

They just said, "Well

"you must be then the lowest form of Maasai

that, that doesn't have cattle, you have nothing."

[male #] 'What's the name of your country?'

I'm from Australia.

[speaking in foreign language]

[Jacinda] 'Does he think we're strange?'

[speaking in foreign language]

The color of our skin

Do they think it's beautiful or ugly or..

[speaking in foreign language]

Don't like it at all.

[laughing]

Very bad.

The way the faces are of the Maasai people

well, it's very beautiful, it's very defined.

[speaking in foreign language]

[Neil] You're flirting, Jacinda, in Maasai here.

[Jacinda] The Maasai are the Maasai and there is no comparison.

You know, if I never come back, I won't see it again.

[singing in foreign language]

[Neil] That's their entertainment.

They sit around the fire

they eat goat and they sing songs.

Apparently, they're singing about

how great they are and what great warriors they are

and how they go and wrestle cattle

and sleep with lots of women.

It just reminded me of all the hip-hop that Jay listens to

and you know, it's kinda the machismo thing

is exactly the same but in a completely different language

and a completely different style of music.

You want to hear it?

I'll play it to you.

[Maasai singing on tape]

[howling]

Now it's my turn, that's mine.

[howling]

[laughing]

[Mike] From the Maasai I will take

a knowledge of a people that I never even knew existed.

And the Maasai Mara country I'd never seen.

Me and Lars are probably closer

than any two Europeans you're ever likely to meet.

You two are closer than Jay and I are.

'What have you guys learned from each other?'

There are ways that you will approach other people

'that to me are offensive and arrogant.'

But for you I see, you do that everyday

well, hang on, maybe that's just a German thing.

'You will tell people what you think.'

'Whereas an Englishman wouldn't do that.'

[Mike] 'They do not beat around the bush, at all.'

[Neil] 'That time you came down and said'

"I am very upset with the way that you have reacted

to my mountain bike being stolen."

[Lars] 'Right.'

There's no way I would even dream of that.

Do you, do you admire, in a way, that, like

'we are very, very honest'

'and you Englishmen have been taught to be so damn polite.'

- 'You can't come out--' - No, I'm not complaining.

Or do you find it arrogant and--

[Neil] 'I see, I see it both ways.'

Yeah, that's what I've learnt from you is that..

...maybe there's a different way of approaching things.

When I came over here..

...I really thought that most other countries

looked up to Americans and then when I met you, I was like

I found out that I was completely wrong.

[Neil] 'Most people have had their whole culture'

'that is completely different for thousands of years.'

Whereas in America, the culture has

like, grown up in the last few hundred.

So, no one learned anything from me then.

I guess that's what the point is just--

No, I learned that American frat boys

aren't quite the [beep] I thought they were gonna be.

I mean, I remember the very first day we met.

When I walked in and everyone said "Hello" to me

and you didn't say "Hello", you said "What do you do?"

[laughing]

I remember you being very competitive

from the first second that I met you.

And I'm like, "Oh..

I'm gonna have a hard time with that fella, you know."

I'm remember having a conversation with him

about, like, being in a frat.

And I thought, "I've got the upper hand.

'"This is a stupid American frat boy.'

I wanna take a piss out of him."

Whereas now, I realize that

you know, you're an intelligent guy.

Our lives are completely different.

Completely, yeah.

But there's enough in common that we get on.

The alcohol?

- I don't know. - Brings us both together, baby.

- 'I'm not sure if it is that.' - No it is.

It certainly helps, but I don't think it's all that.

[laughing]

Cheers, mate.

- Would you really come? - Definitely.

[Mike] I think the Africa trip

the seven of us in that week

learned a lot more about each other and ourselves

then we might have in the whole rest of the time.

And seeing everything and being part of it was fascinating.

But, but I was really amazed how much we..

...we kinda came together.

[Sharon] The night before

the boys had just got totally smashed.

Yet, they all managed to come out of the their tent

to see the sunrise.

Morning...mate.

[Mike] We were right up on a cliff

and had the most beautiful view of the whole valley

And it was really breath-taking.

Get up.

'Get up.'

- Good morning. - Good morning.

[Nick] 'Good morning.'

[instrumental music]

[Jay] It hasn't really been a vacation

in the sense that you go to relax.

This has been an experience.

It has been a, a life-changing experience

to the people who, who've been here.

[Mike] This whole experience, I think

has brought the seven of us a whole lot closer.

You know, I think a lot of the truths came out

in this week here.

[laughing]

[Jacinda] 'She does do good for you.'

[Kat] 'She does.'

Women and men in our society, uh, are..

It's a totally different set of rules.

[Jacinda] 'Neil changes so much when he's with Chris.'

[Kat] 'He does.'

Lovey, lovey ma-ma-ma-ma.

[Mike] 'Not me though, I stay the exact same.'

Yeah, right.

[laughing] 'Whoa.'

[Jacinda] 'Mike, you turn into the biggest wuss around.'

'The only one I can't imagine'

'how they would act... with their'

boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, whatever, is Sharon.

Really?

[Neil] 'You don't give anything away about that at all.'

'You haven't even given us a hint'

'about anything in that aspect of your life.'

With this group, as you know

if you have something that is fragile in your own being.

You can't afford to throw it out with this group

because people just dive on it.

[Jay] 'But, Sharon, can't you imagine that'

like, you being made fun of and stuff.

How a lot of that could be connected to the fact that

you choose to keep a huge part of your

your life...secret.

I surely have not been that bad!

You're protective about your relationships

you're protective about your singing, which is your job.

You're protective about how--

Okay, mass confession.

Obviously, I mean, okay, I grew up with my mother alone.

No siblings.

I went to an all-girls school, I never had a father figure.

My grandfather, my uncle lived in America.

I saw them once a year on holiday.

I've never really been used to being around men.

Really, I don't know exactly how to deal with them.

'Cause it took me a long time to acknowledge my sexuality.

Be comfortable with my sexuality.

Because I have had some..

In the past... I've had some..

Umm..

[Mike] 'It's fine, Sharon.'

And just know that..

No one else will know because..

[Jacinda] 'It's up to Sharon--'

No, I know it's up to me, what I choose to tell you..

So, I'm gonna tell you, I've just, I..

I've had some negative experiences in my youth.

And so it took a long time for me to feel..

...comfortable with myself.

[Neil] Then I actually saw her feeling something

and having an opinion about something

which I hadn't really seen before.

So, my opinion of her has changed quite dramatically.

I really wanted to show them that actually I was open

and that if I had..

...made them feel excluded from my life in any way

it wasn't an intentional thing.

Just, everybody seems very, very relaxed

and at ease with themselves sexually.

And so maybe I still have some development to do on that path.

To me, having relationships is, is, is just not flippin'

it's not a glib, I can't make light of it.

And I'm not gonna just join in

just 'cause everybody is doin' it

and it's fun. It's not a game to me.

'It's, it's, it's, it runs a bit deeper than that.'

When you say something that secret and private

it takes you to a whole new level

of trust and respect for each other.

That's what I was talking about last night

is about good friends and family.

They're so important.

It just brings us all up to a new level.

[crickets chirping]

[engine revving]

[instrumental music]

[Mike] I think at the beginning of the balloons' fire

when they were filling them up..

...was the happiest that I had seen the whole group

since we've been here.

[indistinct chattering]

Hop in, hop in quickly.

[crackling]

[Lars] 'Whoo!'

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[Lars] Everything was so quiet

and we were, like, the only people miles and miles around.

You couldn't see any cars, you couldn't hear any noise.

It was beautiful.

[drums music]

[laughing]

[Kat] We finally landed in this field.

Miraculously, out of nowhere

like something out of "Alice In Wonderland"

there was this full champagne breakfast laid out.

[Jacinda] 'I need to throw one of these mango things at..'

Sharon's having an orgasm.

- 'They're just so fantastic!' - 'I know.'

[Nick] 'Could someone pass the salt?'

There's a very tasty beef Wellington here.

[Neil] I thought I'd be more uncomfortable

with this kind of decadence.

But then you fall into it quite easily.

This one's to Nick, for everything he's done.

For all the organizing and the work you've done.

For being a legend.

I've got certificates for ya.

You've all survived the flight today.

Can we have our roommates present them?

It's kind of a tradition with us.

You can do that.

It gets us all a bit choked up.

[chuckling] Right, Um..

This is for a very special person.

[laughing]

She gets very emotional occasionally.

And-d, umm, and I really like her, and, umm..

I'm glad I get to share a room, a tent, with her now.

We all love her, Jay Frank, please come up.

[laughing]

Aww..

This is for a man with style..

...with character, with a wonderful sense of humor.

A man who I dream about.

Oh!

To the man of my dreams, Mike Johnson.

[laughing]

[Mike] 'We're coming up with one week to go now.'

We have really about, well, eight days together.

And I'm gonna miss you all very much.

There's gonna be one person though

that I'm not gonna be able to wake up to anymore.

And that's not gonna give me that smile on my face

that I get every day, the very first person I met

and the person I'm gonna miss the most.

Sharon Gitau.

Ah!

[indistinct chatter]

[all screaming]

[Jay] 'She's crying.'

- Did you cry? - No, I didn't.

[Jay] For the seven of us just go through this

to all be given this different perspective

It's just naturally brought us all together.

And we've all kind of expressed the wish that

it could have happened earlier.

[indistinct chatter]

Sharon, Sharon, Sharon!

[Sharon] Coming to Africa with everyone from the house

has been really the perfect, perfect ending.

It's rounded off everything.

Bye-bye.

It's given us a real amazing setting and opportunity

to, for the last time, sum up how we feel about one another.

[singing in foreign language]

[Mike] We make fun of each other, we laugh at each other

but we all like each other and I know that this

last week we have together is gonna be really neat.

[screaming]

[dog barking]

[Neil] 'My boy!'

You look so different.

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

I can't believe there's not even a week left.

Happy birthday!

Thank you.

What happened, you and Kat? Let's hear it.

[Sharon] The last night in the house is actually

gonna be quite happy one.

[screaming]

[Kat] The people that you really do care about

you never really say goodbye to.

[male #] 'Which camel would you like?'

[Sharon] 'I'd like him over there.'

Oh, sorry.

[camel burping]

So, are we gonna get on the one that was just being beaten

with a stick, is that what you're telling me?

- Whoa! - Ah!

[laughing]

Let's roll !

[Kat] 'Sharon, Sharon.'

[indistinctchatter]

[Lars] 'Come with us, no go with Sharon.'
