16x01 - Howdy, Austin!

[bunniefuu]

[rock music playing]

-[Danny] See you guys later.
-[woman] Be good.

-[Danny] I will. See you later, Gram.
-[Grammy] Bye, Dan.

I'm Danny from Billerica,
Mass, and I'm 21 years old.

-Careful, take care of Grammy.
-Be good.

[Danny] My sister is in medical school.

See you later.

My other sister's
a registered nurse, and I'm banging nails.

This is where I am every day,
Monday through Friday...

-[birds chirping]
-...with my dad, building houses.

My best friend right here.

-Miss you.
-[both chuckle]

[Danny] It's gonna be
a really great thing for me to leave.

-See you guys later.
-[all] Bye.

[Danny] At the same time,
I'm really gonna miss my family.

[music continues]

[Danny] I don't know how I'm gonna deal
with the 90-degree weather in January.

[geese honking]

[Danny] My parents are divorced.
I don't really get along with my mom.

Saying goodbye to my father's tough
because I'm with him all the time.

[Danny's dad] Be careful, all right?

-Don't do stupid things.
-I know.

[Danny] He just wants the best for me.

He doesn't know what that is,

he doesn't know if this is it,
but he's gonna let me find out.

I know absolutely nothing about Texas.

I thought I was gonna come out here

-[music concludes]
-[driver] How you doing today?

-[Danny] Good, how about you?
-Good, good.

-It's your first time to town?
-It is.

[instrumental music playing]

[Danny] What's Texas like?

[driver] Well, from the accent,
sounds like

-it's gonna be quite different from home.
-[chuckles]

I think it's a great thing that I'm here
because what better place to start

something new than a place
you know nothing about?

[music fades]

[upbeat music playing]

I'm Rachel, I'm 22 years old,
and I'm from Valencia, California.

-I joined the army to be a nurse.
-[all grunt, yell]

[Rachel] We left the day after the
president was like, "We're gonna go...

...to w*r," I remember me and my roommate
watching like, aw, and getting the phone

call a couple hours later. "Be ready
tomorrow, get on the plane."

I didn't know what to expect.
I didn't know what it was gonna be like.

So, I was just terrified.

[male announcer] Her performance reflects
a great credit upon herself.

Thank you for your hard work.

[ambient music playing]

[birds chirping]

My name is Nehemiah,
I'm 19, and I'm from California.

I just graduated from Collins College
in Arizona with a degree in media arts.

I knew that I wanted
to do film, something I've been doing

ever since I was a freshman
in high school.

I had to get out of California.

Going to school was just
the perfect opportunity

to get away from people around me

who were just trying
to steer me to do the wrong thing.

-Hi.
-Hey, what's up? How you doing?

-Are you my roommate?
-[Nehemiah] Yes, I am.

-[both] What's your name?
-Nehemiah.

-Oh, give me a hug, roomie. I'm Rachel.
-Yeah, come.

[Rachel] Nehemiah comes up,

and he is totally looking
the picture of Black power.

But he came up
with a big smile on his face,

so I felt welcome at the same time.

-I'm digging your look. You look cool.
-You are?

-Aw, thank you.
-Can you wait to see this house, or what?

-Tsk.
-Do you have a girlfriend?

-[upbeat music playing]
-Um... We're taking a little break.

-You know what I'm saying?
-Me too with my boyfriend.

-Really? Uh-oh.
-But I love him tons.

-No sex. That's our rules.
-[Nehemiah] Oh, that's the rules?

No sex and no falling in love
and no baby talk.

Basically, I'm not getting intimate
with somebody.

Basically all the stuff
that you're gonna do.

-No, I won't. No, I won't.
-Yeah, whatever. I bet you...

-Fifty bucks.
-All right, I'll bet you 50.

-Okay. It's on. It's on.
-I'll bet you.

-You gonna get butt naked somewhere.
-I can do it.

-I have strong will. I can do it.
-You do?

-All right, we'll see. We'll see.
-[chuckles]

I feel like this right here is about
to be the best five months of my life,

and I am excited. I'm ready.

[soft music playing]

Hi, my name is Johanna. I'm 21 years old.
I was born and raised in Lima, Peru.

When I was ten,
my mom decided she wanted a new life,

and so, she moved to the United States.

I currently live in Riverside, California.

I'm the case manager at the shelter home
for youth, twelve to seventeen years old.

I was accepted into Columbia University
for the masters in social work program.

But I deferred it to go to Austin.

I want to have as much fun as I can,

because I think that's
what being young is all about.

[music intensifies]

[Wes] My name is Wes. I'm 20 years old.

I grew up in Leawood,
Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City,

real safe, nice neighborhood
to grow up in... however, not a good place

to learn a lot
about yourself and about the world.

-[yelling]
-Run!

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Wes] I left as fast as possible

and went to the number-one party school
in America, Arizona State.

[all yell]

[Johanna] Hi. [chuckles]

-[Wes] What's up?
-Johanna.

-Johanna, I'm Wes. Very nice to meet you.
-Hi, Wes. Nice to meet you.

-Oh, man...
-[chuckles]

...this is gonna be fun. [chuckles]

Johanna looks like one of
the most beautiful, interesting,

-mysterious girls that I've ever seen.
-[music concludes]

-[Johanna] Is it "Wez" or "Wess"?
-[Wes] "Wess."

-[Johanna] Okay.
-Johanna?

-Yeah. But you can call me Jo.
-Jo? All right. So, no boyfriends?

No, no, no.
Single and ready to mingle.

-Hey. [chuckles]
-[chuckles] What about you?

-Same.
-[both laugh]

[rock music playing]

[driver] We need
to pick another passenger up.

[Danny] All right.

There's a roommate waiting
for me at the top of the hill.

I think it's gonna be a girl.
I'm definitely excited. I'm nervous.

[music continues]

My name is Melinda.
I'm 21 years old. I grew up in Milwaukee.

I'm just getting
into the crazy party life.

[cheers, chuckles]

[Melinda] Jason is my boyfriend.

We've been together
on and off for three years.

This is a promise ring that Jason gave me.

I think my relationship can survive if
we both have enough love for each other.

It's not gonna be easy
because I am a nymph. [laughs]

That's gonna be
the most difficult thing for me,

is not having
that togetherness with somebody.

[Danny] I'm more attracted to
the all-American girl kind of look.

It's got to be a girl
that just can have fun

and doesn't take herself too seriously.

-Oh, wow.
-[birds chirping]

-[Danny] Hello.
-Hi.

-Hi. Danny.
-[upbeat music playing]

-Nice to meet you. I'm Melinda.
-Melinda, nice to meet you.

-[both chuckle]
-How are you doing?

-Good. How are you?
-Good.

-It's gorgeous out there, huh?
-It sure is.

-[Danny] I am blown away. She is gorgeous.
-[chuckles]

One of the most beautiful girls
I've ever seen in my life.

♪ Zoo-zoo, zee-zee, za-za ♪

-I'll get that for you.
-Oh, such a gentleman.

-[both laugh]
-[music concludes]

-[Melinda] You have any siblings at all?
-I have two sisters. How about yourself?

I have an older sister.

-I'm the baby of the family.
-You're the... Me too.

-We're gonna get along just fine, then.

-I take it you're one of the roommates?
-Yeah.

-Hi. Johanna.
-I'm Lacey. Nice to meet you.

-I want a hug.
-Oh, okay.

My name's Lacey, I'm 23,
and I'm from Wellington, Ohio,

currently in Tallahassee, Florida.

Did you already graduate
from college, or...

-I'm a hairdresser, so...
-[Johanna] Oh, are you?

-Yeah, I went... [chuckles]
-[Johanna cheers] Yeah!

[Wes] Well, you can help me.
I'm having troubles.

[all laugh]

[Lacey] This is my salon.
I'm here every day all day except Sunday.

It's the place to get
your hair done in Tallahassee right now.

I could spit in their hair and be like,

"This is great conditioner,"
and they'd be like,

"Oh, I had the great spa treatment
at the Green Peridot."

Amazing.

-So, is everyone single here?

-Oh, we're all single?

[Wes] That is definitely it.

-Damn.
-That is definitely pretty big.

Well, that's good,
'cause I got a lot of stuff.

[Wes laughs]

-[music fades]
-All right, guys, come on.

[gasps] Our roommates are here.

-Hi.
-[Lacey] Hi.

-[Rachel] I'm Rachel.
-I'm Lacey.

-Hi. It's nice to meet you.
-Lacey? Oh, what a cute name.

-I'm Wes.
-[Rachel] Wes?

-Hi, Wes.
-What's your name?

-Rachel.
-Rachel, nice to meet you.

-What's your name?
-Nehemiah.

-I'm Wes.
-Wes?

-Yeah, oh, yeah.
-Hi.

Johanna, oh, this is so nice.

The house is very appealing
to me because it's so big.

I won't feel like I'm sitting
on top of everybody all the time.

[Nehemiah] This is our Jacuzzi in here.

[alternative rock music playing]

[Wes] The thing that impresses me
most about the house is the hot tub.

This is a great,
private, romantic setting.

Is there an upstairs?

-Pool table. Jump on it.
-Is this a massage chair?

-Yeah.
-[cheers]

-[laughs]
-Yay!

[Lacey] Oh, yeah.

-Yeah, that's nice.
-Oh, my goodness.

-Wait, so there's two, four, five...
-[Rachel] So, we're missing two people.

I'm hoping that the other two
are either gonna be two other guys

or one of them is gonna be someone
my type... tall, brown hair, dark skin.

[gasps] Thank you, nice to meet you.

[Melinda] Oh, my God,
I'm gonna be living here for five months.

Yay, we're home! [laughs]

-I can't wait to get inside and explore...
-[indistinct chatter]

...meet my new roommates,
and find my room. [chuckles]

-Go ahead.
-[laughs]

-Oh, my God.
-[gasps, laughs]

This is not happening.

-Oh, I think they're here.
-Is there people?

[both] Hello.

-[all] Hi.
-Hey.

-I'm Rachel.
-Rachel, Danny.

Come on, you're my roommate.
Give me a hug. Danny?

-Danny. Nice to meet you.
-Okay. Nice to meet you too.

You look like you're from Boston.

I am from Boston. Where you from, brother?

-Kansas City.
-Johanna, Danny. Nice to meet you.

-Melinda, I'm Wes.
-Nice to meet you.

-[Nehemiah] Nehemiah.
-[Danny] Nehemiah, Danny.

I noticed Danny's accent.
I really like accents.

He looks like an Abercrombie model.

[Rachel] Come on,
come on, look at the house.

[Rachel] I love red.
That's my favorite color.

I think we should ask for this room,
'cause it's so girly.

It's gotta be girls in this room.

As soon as I met Mel, I knew
if this chick's as open-minded as me

and as fun as me,
we're gonna end up making out.

-Make the boys stay in here. [laughs]
-Oh, we should, huh?

We're already telling
everybody where to go.

No free shows. Uh-uh.
Yeah, they can stay in here.

I like this room. It's very serene.
This is good closet space.

Johanna and I decided
to be roommates, and it's a good thing.

I think she's a nice girl,
and she's very laid-back.

Does anybody have a problem
with me and Melinda having the red room?

Do you guys care, the girls,
'cause it's a girls' room?

-[Johanna] Oh, I don't.
-[Lacey] Not at all. We don't mind.

I'm gonna be fluctuating anyway.

You might see me
in the red room one night. I'm tired!

[all laugh]

-[horn honking]
-[upbeat music playing]

[Danny]

[sighs] I don't know, dude.

-[all laugh]
-Are you guys changing in there?

[music continues]

Here's to seven new friends.

-[all] Aw.
-[indistinct chatter]

[Nehemiah] So cute.

Here's to making new friends,
acting stupid,

and having a huge seven-person orgy.

-[Rachel cheers]
-[Wes] I like her toast better.

Can I say... Can I say "ditto" as mine?

[Rachel] I think that we're all
on a high from meeting each other

and realizing how great
we all get along right off the bat.

-So, who do you plan to hook up with?
-You.

-[blows raspberry, laughs]
-[all laugh]

Where's the craziest place you've had sex?

Um... Well,
that's easy, 'cause it's nowhere!

-[Danny] She's a virgin?
-[Wes] No way.

-You're a virgin?
-[Nehemiah] Really?

I'm prepared
to face people that don't have

the same type of lifestyle as I do.
None of my friends are virgins.

I don't mind. It's a personal choice.

-So, have you ever made out with a girl?
-No.

[Rachel] You can be totally straight
and make out with a girl.

That's why we're sharing
a room, okay, buddy?

[gasps]

Melinda is saying all this crazy stuff.
Is she a tease, or is she real?

I got to call it already.
You guys talked about kissing.

I say you do it right now
so we can stop talking and just see it.

-[Lacey] I agree.
-I'm up. I'm up.

-Okay, I am too.
-[chuckles]

[upbeat music playing]

Melinda is just so out there and wild.
I love being wild. I do. [chuckles]

But she'd make me look like a prude.

-[Danny chuckles]
-[Wes] All right, no, no, no,

-I got the second callout.
-[all laugh]

I proved his a*s wrong. [chuckles]

-[all laugh]
-[indistinct chatter]

-[water gurgling]
-[music concludes]

[indistinct chatter]

I feel a good connection
with you, and it's...

and it's not just because you were
the first person I met.

I feel like there's so much stuff that
we have in common. And it's really cool.

-[Danny] We do have a lot in common.
-We do... and it's hot. [laughs]

There is just something
about Danny that totally draws me to him.

Our personalities are so similar.

It's so funny, 'cause when I saw you,
I was totally taken aback,

'cause I'm like, "No way can
the roommate be that hot." [laughs]

You're something else.
You know that, right?

As soon as you said
you had a boyfriend, I was surprised.

Yeah, I do, you know,

have a boyfriend
and everything, but things aren't easy.

I am far away from him, and it's like,
are my feelings gonna stay the same?

I'm not one to step on other guys' toes.

I'm really not, 'cause I would be crushed
if somebody else did that to me, you know?

If I really love somebody...

But at the same time,
does he really love you, you know?

If we're going out,
I'm gonna stop drinking,

and if we're not going out,
then we're not.

-[Wes] Oh, we're going out.
-[indistinct chatter]

-We own this town. We own it.
-Okay.

[rock music playing]

Let's just say everyone showers.

-Come on in!
-[Lacey cheers]

[Wes] The showers are awesome.
There's two heads that come down.

They scream, "Put more people in here,"
and I'm like, "Okay, I will abide."

-[Rachel cheers]
-All my roommates right now.

[all cheer, laugh]

[music concludes]

-I'm the luckiest man right now.
-This is my dream come true.

-[rock music playing]
-Get one shot.

-All right, that's it. That's it.
-[laughs]

[Melinda] With Danny,
I feel like I can be myself,

and I feel happy. I feel like a kid
in a candy store when I'm around him.

-All right, no, no, truce.
-Truce.

-Truce?
-[laughs] Truce.

-All right, all right.

You want to bet? All right.

Danny and I feel like it's a race
to see who can be the first person

to hook up in the house.

We would hook up
with either Jo or Melinda.

We both want to really bad.

If neither of us have hooked up
with either of the roommates in a month,

then you and I are gonna go out

the hottest University of Texas girl

But that's what makes you

"Okay, Danny's cute."
"Danny's cute." "Danny's cute."

It just sucks that I'm gonna have to live

with the guy for four more months.
You know what I mean?

-[soft music playing]
-[Johanna] I regret kissing Danny

because I don't want him
to feel weird around me.

I think that's gonna prevent us

from getting to know each other
a little more than just a hook-up.

about the girls here?

Hey, honestly,
I got to tell you something, guys.

of one of these girls, and I sort of got...

and she's really cool.

She looks very really
artsy and stuff. She's a hairdresser.

And then there's Wes.

He's from Kansas
but goes to Arizona State.

And then there's Nehemiah.
Nehemiah's really cool.

Nehemiah seems like
we would be really good friends.

-And then there's Melinda.
-[chuckles]

Melinda's really pretty.
She has huge boobs.

She's... She's the wildchild,
you know?

-[Lisa] Mm-hmm.
-Her and Rachel. Rachel's really nice too.

Rachel is just out there. [chuckles]

But it's a good thing
that she's out there, 'cause I like that.

And... And then there's Danny,
the guy I made out with.

[chuckles] He was sitting next to me,
and I just remember turning my head

and kissing him.
I'm hoping he won't remember.

-[Lisa] Is he cute?
-Yeah, he's cute.

-Oh, my God. [laughs]
-[laughs] I know.

[music concludes]

-Damn.
-Girl's smoking.

[both laugh]

Melinda. Melinda, Melinda.
I think she is... unbelievable.

She... I mean,
just look at her. It... [chuckles]

-[Nehemiah chuckles]
-I was so excited,

but at the same time,
it's like, I fall really, really easily...

-Mm-hmm.
-...for like... you know what I mean?

If I like a girl, and, I mean,
right now, this girl's perfect.

The only person I could kind of see
myself hooking up with, uh...

-[Danny] Joey?
-[Nehemiah] Yeah.

[Danny] See, it's not even...
it's not even so much

like hooking up as
when I met her, I was just like,

"Oh, my God, this girl's
unbelievable, like, perfect,"

-and it sucks.
-Hell yeah, dog.

'Cause I'm not the type of guy to...

step on other dudes' toes too,
like I told you.

I know she has a boyfriend,
and I'm gonna...

I mean, I haven't met the guy,
but I'm totally gonna respect

-him and her, you know?
-I got you.

-I'm not gonna... I don't know...
-And you know what?

but I'm just, so...
I'm so taken aback by her.

I mean, honestly,
I'm sure if she's feeling you

-the way that you're feeling her...
-See...

...later on, it's inevitable to happen.

You know what I'm saying?
It is inevitable.

-[rock music playing]
-[whizzing]

-[Rachel laughs]
-[Melinda] Where are we going now?

-I guess there were two...
-[Melinda] Ringleader?

-[Wes] I don't think we really know.
-[Johanna] The place is on Fourth Street...

[Melinda] I am starving.

-Did you talk to your boyfriend today?
-[Melinda] Yeah.

-[indistinct chatter]
-How's he doing?

Good. He's like, "Hi!
How's everything going?"

-He's not that kind of person...
-Would you be like that?

No, mm-mm. I was, like, complete opposite.

-I know exactly why he's doing it. [sighs]
-Why is that?

'Cause he doesn't want
to seem like the... the jealous type,

'cause he doesn't want you to leave.

The relationship with Jason has
just been kind of perfect lately. [laughs]

Just seems to me that...

he's trying to be
the perfect boyfriend now

because you're in this situation...

[Danny] I don't know her situation
with her boyfriend,

but as long as
she's willing to get to know me,

I'm gonna take every opportunity,

you know, tenfold to get
to know this girl.

-All right.
-[music concludes]

-Mm.
-[indistinct chatter]

So what type of guys do you like?

Smart ones. The last guy
I dated was really, really smart.

Would you like him
to be smarter than you?

Mm-hmm. My boyfriend's smarter
than me, I think.

[Melinda] Oh, really?

[Nehemiah] Johanna is a very nice person,
the type of nice girl

that I could see myself talking to,

being able to share
some of my secrets with,

because she looks like
the type of person I could trust.

-[laughs]
-[upbeat music playing]

[Johanna] Everybody else goes home,
and I ask Nehemiah, you know,

"I really want to walk around."
"Do you want to come with me?"

And we start walking,
just talking about everything.

I think everyone's cool in their own way.

Probably, the one I can talk to the most,

girls from guys,
is probably you, and I noticed that

-from the beginning, you know?
-Aw, I feel special.

[laughs] I feel special.

-[music concludes]
-Who do you think is gonna fight, though?

I think Wes looks like
the type that I'm gonna have to keep

pulling away from fights.

I know that Danny looks like
the pretty boy type,

but I think that he'll want
to get into fights too.

[Nehemiah] See, me, I don't really like

to fight no more, now that
I'm getting older. I'm more about peace.

-You know what I'm saying?
-Yeah.

I'd rather talk
to somebody versus fight with them.

[Johanna] I know that
I'm gonna get into it, and I'm gonna yell.

I'm trying to explain to him
that I can get out of control.

I always ask all my guy friends
to help me out when I'm drunk

just to keep an eye out for me.

-That's why you have to take care of me.
-Johanna, calm down.

When she asked me this,
I felt that while I'm here,

I have a duty to protect her.

["Booty" playing]

-[Melinda] ...comes out.
-It still doesn't come out?

Damn, you can wash
my dishes any day. [chuckles]

[Rachel] Are those little shorts,
are those boxer briefs, what are they?

[Melinda] Yeah, they're my underwear.

-[Rachel] Huh?
-[chuckles] We know.

I would rather
not wear clothes than wear clothes.

At home I'll even walk
around in a bra and, like,

underwear at home
even with my parents there,

and a lot of people think that's weird.
But to me, that's just kind of normal.

That's kind of
the lifestyle that I've always had.

♪ And when you've just been over baby... ♪

-You see that?
-[Danny] What?

♪ ...with your underwear ♪

-[indistinct chatter]
-Right there.

♪ And you're so fine, you're so fine
Girl, you got that booty on my mind ♪

[chuckles]

-What are those?
-[Wes] I love 'em.

♪ Oh, you know what I like

♪ It looks so nice ♪

♪ You got that booty on my mind ♪

"Melinda is hot" is all I got to say.

She's going to probably hook up
with every guy here,

and I don't mean in the house.

-[chuckles] I mean in Austin.
-[music fades]

["Booty" playing]

No, trust me, dude,
I think you got that way mixed up.

-No?
-I guarantee you.

-I don't think so, really.
-I've got two guesses.

One, she's a tease.

She actually is gonna stay faithful
to her boyfriend, which is not good.

-That's... That's...
-That's option one.

Two... Two...
No, two is good. Two's good for you.

That we're gonna have some big,
dramatic breakup with her boyfriend.

Then... [chuckles] ...what she's gonna do is,
she's just gonna go hog wild, rebound sex

all over this house with you, dude,
all over this house.

I'm talking orgy room,
computer room, confessional.

-You guys are gonna tag it all up.

[music concludes]

[rock music playing]

-[Johanna] Rachel, take a shot.
-[Danny] Attagirl.

-[Johanna] Okay, bust.
-[deck of cards rustling]

-[Danny] Oh, come on.
-[Wes] You want in?

[Danny] Yeah, palm that.

-[Wes] For one shot's round?
-I've got too much self-control.

-I'm uptight. [laughs]
-I don't think you're uptight.

-I think you're interesting. [chuckles]
-[Wes] Oh, wow.

-Thanks.
-[chuckles]

[Lacey] I personally think
that people think that I'm a b*tch.

I think 'cause I'm a very stiff person,
I cross my arms when I'm uncomfortable.

sh**t that already. Come on.

I think that right now
we all wanna drink and ease our tension

so we could feel a little
more comfortable with each other.

[glass thuds]

[Nehemiah] Romantically, I would like
to get more intimate with Johanna.

I am definitely taken by her beauty.
I think that she's very attractive.

[Wes] All right,
this is how we play the game.

-Listen.
-[Melinda] I'm back, boys.

-[Wes] Oh, my God.
-[Lacey] Is that even allowed at the bar?

I need a whip. [imitates whip cracking]

[Lacey] Melinda does so many
out-there things that I'm not used to.

I just kind of stare at her,
"What are you doing?"

-Oh, my God.
-[laughs]

-I need to get a hug. All right.
-[laughs]

-[Rachel] Aw.
-[Melinda screams]

-[Danny] Hump her.
-[Wes] Sandwich.

-[fake-moaning]
-That's good. All right.

[Danny] Oh, my God.

I thought it was funny.

-Sorry.
-[indistinct chatter]

[Melinda laughing]

[Johanna] Okay, you guys keep drinking,
and I'm gonna go get dressed.

[Wes] No, you're not.
You can't leave the game. No one care...

Do you guys want to follow me
with the alcohol as I get dressed?

-[gasps, blows raspberry]
-[all laugh]

I definitely should not drink
hard alcohol.

-Wes!
-That was the best thing I have ever heard

-in my [bleep] life.
-Come on!

Hard alcohol brings out
a different side of me.

Um... It brings out the bad side.

[rock music playing]

Me, you and Wes, dude,
we're gonna rip this city up, brother.

I keep getting this flashback.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Of us making out, you know?

'Cause I... Okay,
maybe it's just making it up in my mind.

No, we made out for a while.
Made out for a while.

No, shut up, aw.

[Danny] You know,
I think the kiss was just something

that happened when you get drunk.

But I don't think Joey feels
that way towards me at all.

[laughs]

Nice.

I'm having beer,
and they're having shots.

Shots kind of go through you
a little faster than beer, I think.

So I'm watching, and I just see

everybody's eyes getting
a little more glazed,

so I'm thinking, "Oh, here we go."

-Oh!
-Oh, hell yeah! [chuckles]

[cheers]

[Johanna] And I'm kind of feeling down,

so then I start drinking heavily,
and... everything else kind of is a blur.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[hip-hop music playing]

[Wes] Joey!

She is so gonna regret
this tomorrow morning.

-No.
-[laughs]

No, no, no,
she did the same thing last night.

[Nehemiah] Johanna asked me
not to let her get drunk

like she got last night,
so I just want to give her some water,

let her know not to drink anymore
and make sure she doesn't do anything

that she's gonna regret.

-Have some water.
-Listen to me, please.

But no, I'm not gonna [bleep]
talk to you until you listen to me.

Johanna gets mad at me,
and I don't even know why

or if she even knows
why she gets mad at me.

-Hey...
-This is... No, no.

Hey , you know what?
You told me to look after you.

If you don't want me to do that, I won't.

You know what I'm saying?
I'll leave you on your own.

I let her know, "You asked me
for help, and I tried to give you help."

-You gonna take your water?
-Listen to me... no.

[chuckles] "And you're not taking it,
so we're through."

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Johanna] Don't worry about it.

[Nehemiah] She would not let me go.

-Joey, get off of me.
-No, I will not get off you.

[Nehemiah] Johanna starts pulling down
my shirt.

[Johanna] Okay?

[Nehemiah] She's frantic.
She's going crazy.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[glasses shattering]

-Hey! Calm down!
-Stop!

-No. No. Stop.
-[indistinct chatter]

-Hey, you, get away.
-No, get away.

Go away. You guys, move out of the way.
Move out of the way.

-Move out of the way.
-Let him go, Johanna.

-Let him go, Johanna.
-Wait, no.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Johanna] Get out of the way.

[Nehemiah] I had to take control
of the situation and just be able

-to walk away and not let it escalate.
-[tense music playing]

[Nehemiah] I'm not necessarily done
with Johanna.

When she's sober,
she's a different person.

But when she drinks,
I am definitely done with her.

-What happened?
-[cries] Don't let Nehemiah go.

-Hey, listen... listen.
-What happened, baby girl?

-No, I said he...
-Talk to me.

[Melinda] I'm trying to get
a word out of her of what happened.

She just kept saying, "He... He."
She's saying, "He... Nehemiah." "He."

[sobs] I don't know
why he was going to fight him.

-Who was?
-I don't... [sniffles]

-Who was trying to fight who?
-I don't know.

Some guy was trying
to fight Nehemiah. I don't know.

-Nehemiah?
-[dramatic music playing]

[Wes] Nehemiah left
the bar in some sort of a rage.

Me and Danny get scared,
and we go outside,

and we try and find him.

[Danny] Nehemiah!

[Wes] We're looking around.
We look to the right.

We look to the left.
We don't see him anywhere.

-Hey, where is he?
-[man] Hey, he went down that way, man.

-Where?
-He went the other way.

[Wes] We can't find him.
We're running around.

We're like, "Where'd the Black guy go?"

-Black guy?
-[woman] Yeah.

Yes. That way?

[Wes] And they go, "He went that way,"

and another person said,
"He went this way."

He what? He went in here?

-[indistinct chatter]
-No, no, no.

There's random people talking...
and yelling.

Everyone's drunk and belligerent.

It's a frenzy already, and I know
that something bad is about to happen.

Hit me in the face, then.

No, I don't want to fight you.

[Wes] No, no, no. No, dude...

-[Melinda] Hey!
-[Wes] Yo, what the [bleep]?

Why you have to [bleep],
I don't even want this [bleep].

-Stay out of it.
-Yo, where are you?

I don't [bleep] see you.

Where are you, tough game?
Where the [bleep] are you?

-[Wes] Hey, hey...
-Which guy... Which guy?

-No, I said tackle this guy right now.
-Keep laughing.

-Dude... Dude.
-[Wes] What are you gonna do?

-Shut the [bleep]!
-[indistinct chatter]

-[man] Hey, hey...
-[Melinda] Oh, my God. Stop!

[indistinct yelling]

-Guys, guys, guys...
-[indistinct chatter]

[heart thumping]

[metal music playing]

-[Danny] Damn it.
-[Rachel] It's your roommate.

It's your roommate.
It's your roommate. It's me.

It's me, okay?

It's me, it's Rachel. It's Rachel.

[indistinct chatter]

We're gonna go home. He's just drunk.

[Wes] I live with him.
Can I take him home?

-Can I take him home?
-[indistinct chatter]

[Wes] All right, let's go.

-[Rachel] Are you gonna take him home?
-[Wes] No, yeah, yeah.

-Do you have your key?
-[siren blaring]

Where's Nehemiah
is what I want to know.

I've been in many fights before,
random stupid fights over nothing,

-which is exactly what this was tonight.
-[metal music playing]

Someone popped me right in the eye.

[laughs] Yeah, he socked you good.

[Danny] I... I didn't even see it, dude.

The kid jumped me
from the side of the crowd.

-Who was that dude?
-[indistinct]

[Wes] Granted we were, you know,

getting drunk and being rowdy
and stuff like that,

but nobody deserves to get hit
in the side of the face like that.

-[Wes] Drama every night.
-[music fades]

[suspenseful music playing]

There you are. Go, dude.

I just got my eye torn up
because when you left.

-What happened?
-[Wes] All right...

Yeah, I want to know what the [bleep]
happened, 'cause I was defending you.

-Listen...
-I got punched in the [bleep] eye

-because I was defending you.
-No, listen. No, listen.

Dude, we all got in a fight
in the middle of the [bleep] street,

-and we almost all got arrested.
-[Nehemiah] Listen to me.

We were looking for you
is why we almost got arrested.

-What?
-[Nehemiah] Can you talk to me?

Johanna got drunk as [bleep]...

-No [bleep], Sherlock.
-Listen. Listen.

Today, me and Johanna talked.

She said, "Look, if I get too drunk
like I was yesterday, talk to me."

-I didn't fight nobody.
-[Wes] I know you didn't, but we did.

Johanna starts trying to fight me, dog.

-He got blindsided.
-Now, my [bleep] eye's closed

'cause I stood up for you, and you were
back here at the [bleep] house.

-Hey, you...
-[bleep] you.

You can get mad at me,
but you don't even know what went...

[Danny] I am mad at you.

[Wes] No, we went to go find you
is why we got in a [bleep] fight.

I don't know who you guys fought.
You know what I'm saying?

I didn't fight no dudes in the club.
But me and Johanna got into it.

-So then I left.
-[indistinct chatter]

You know what I'm saying?

What up?

Good, Nehemiah's here.

-Did you get hit?
-No.

That's the last time
I stick up for a roommate.

Yo, Danny, I know you probably
ain't trying to hear me right now,

but don't think that the fight
that you got into out there

was because of me.
You know what I'm saying?

I didn't get into it
with no dudes in the bar.

If you fought
some dudes because of me, dog,

you know what I'm saying,
my hat is off for you.

I know that right now,
Danny can't comprehend the situation,

and I know that me being sober,
I could let him vent his anger out,

and then... I could talk
to him about it later.

[Melinda] Hey, baby. Hey. baby.

You okay? Do you want
some aspirin or something?

I've never actually seen
somebody get that badly hurt.

Do you want aspirin?

Yeah? Okay.

It scares me that people can
actually do that to somebody and...

not have any consequences.

Let me see your eye. Please,
I'm a nurse. Please, let me see your eye.

My nursing experience kicks
right into gear, drunk or not.

Let me look at it, please.
Can you open your eye, please?

-Stop, it hurt...
-[Rachel] It hurts. It hurts. It hurts.

Can you... Can you lift it yourself
at all so she doesn't have to...

[Danny] Stop it! I said it hurts.

I think that it's time
to go to the hospital.

[music continues]

-All right.
-[Lacey] Good luck.

I'll see you when you get back.

[Rachel] So, do you know
where the closest emergency room is?

-[driver] Yeah.
-Okay, thank you, sir.

[Rachel] I feel,
"Holy [bleep], I can't believe this

is happening on the second night."
[chuckles] Come on, you know?

And at the same time, I feel like
I should almost be wearing my uniform.

That's what I did in the army,
I took people to the hospital.

I waited with them.

-How are you feeling?
-[Danny sighs]

Not so good. Okay.
You know what? We're almost there.

[ominous music playing]

[Johanna] Nehemiah,
can I talk to you, please?

I'm not gonna apologize to Nehemiah

because I don't think
I did anything wrong.

I just want to talk to him about it.

Look, I never tried
to offend you in any way, okay?

Honestly, what I remember is,
some guy tried to fight you...

No, no, no, no.
It was all about you being...

-Out of control.
-That's what it was about.

-Okay, see... but... okay.
-It wasn't about no dude.

If it's not about any guys, then you
should've [bleep] stopped me, like...

-I tried.
-Okay, look.

And, you know,
if it was about that, then honestly,

as a person,
I am apologizing to you, okay?

-Okay. I can accept...
-Didn't...

-Hey, you know what?
-Can I fix your necklace?

-No. You know what?
-No, come on, don't...

-don't give me the cold shoulder.
-Hey. Listen.

It ain't even about
all of that, you being drunk.

It's the fact that you asked me
for help... [chuckles] ...and I tried to help,

and you turned it away just like that,
you were so quick to fight me.

That just lets me know
what type of person you are

when you get intoxicated.

Just one incident like that
can definitely change things a lot,

and I felt
that I was definitely disrespected

by someone who I thought
I was gonna be very close with.

[music fades]

-[sirens wailing]
-[upbeat music playing]

Let's take a look.

Are you having much pain
in the eye itself? Okay.

You got a pretty severe fracture.
This is pretty serious.

[tense music playing]

This bone out here,
it's called the zygoma,

this bone right here.

And when it...
when you... when you got hit,

that bone broke, fractured...
and it rotated, and this is...

-a normal bone right here. See this?
-[Danny sighs heavily]

This is your fracture,
and it should be out...

it should be
just like this on that side, okay?

-[Danny] Mm-hmm.
-So, what that...

what... what you're seeing there,

is that this bone here
has been rotated inward.

[Rachel] You feeling okay, Danny?

-You feel like you're gonna throw up?
-[doctor] This is serious.

This type of fracture, people can lose
their vision, can go blind.

People can get infections.

-Am I ever gonna look normal?
-[tongue clicks] Yes, it is.

But it's gonna take a surgery to fix it.

[music continues]

[music fades]

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Wes] Now, truth or dare?

[Melinda] Dare.

[Wes] I dare you to run a lap
through this whole house naked...

[Lacey] Of course you do.

[Melinda] All right.

[Lacey squeals, chuckles]

You're gonna make her streak
through the whole house?

-Don't slip!
-[Danny] Yeah, the whole house.

-Every room.
-[Lacey] Don't slip.

-[Melinda squeals]
-[all laugh]

Now you got to go back in the pool.

-Got to go back in the pool.
-[cheering and laughter]

-[Melinda] Wow. [cheers]
-[Rachel] Way to go, Mel.
