16x20 - The Pressure's On

[bunniefuu]

[theme music playing]

-[Wes] This is the true story...
-[Lacey] Yee-haw!

-[Lacey] ...of seven strangers...
-[Rachel] ...picked to live in a house...

[Nehemiah] ...work together,
and have their lives taped...

[Johanna] ...to find out what happens...

-[Danny] ...when people stop being polite...
-Shut up.

-[Melinda] ...and start getting real.
-[all laughing]

-[all] The Real World: Austin.
-[theme music concludes]

[upbeat music playing]

[Wes] Look how big that is!

[chuckles] Do they realize
that there's only seven of us?

I have always wanted to go to Costa Rica,
and I'm gonna have the best vacation.

[Johanna groans]

I think that
the trip's gonna bring us together.

New country, it's going
to be a beautiful place.

And I think everyone's going to get along.

[Wes] What the hell are you doing, man?

Putting my luggage somewhere.
Shut up. [laughs]

[plane engine rumbles]

[Danny] This is it!

-[Lacey] We're in Costa Rica!
-[Rachel] I am so excited.

Costa Rica.

I earned this trip.

I'm hitting the slots right now.

I definitely worked hard
before I got here.

And I definitely want to see everything
that I possibly can see.

That way, I don't go home
with any regrets at all.

[Johanna] That goes out to the beach?

-Nuh-uh.
-[Danny] No way.

-[Danny exclaims]
-[Johanna] Oh!

-[screaming]
-[hollering]

["There You Are" playing]

[Wes] Hey, who's about to get naked?

♪ No matter where you go
Just remember, there you are ♪

♪ Take a look and you can say you... ♪

[Rachel] Oh, my God! Wes is naked!

♪ No matter where you go
There you are, there you are ♪

[music concludes]

-[Rachel] All right. Let's go.
-[Nehemiah] Let's go.

-[Johanna] Hold on.
-[Rachel] Lock the door.

[Wes] Hola. Hola.

[Nehemiah] That is a man.
That is a man. That is a man.

-Wes, come on, now.
-[Wes] They're not all men.

-[chuckles] Yes... Hey, men?
-[Wes] Yeah?

-I thought so.
-Men?

-[Danny] Yeah.
-Si.

Those are the hottest men...

-[laughs]
-...I've ever seen in my life. [laughs]

We're doing a lot of barhopping.
We're going from one place to another.

Should we go this way?

[Wes] And these kids roll up on bikes.

-[kid] Hey. Hey, hey.
-[indistinct shouting]

And one of them looks at Mel.
That's all it takes.

Danny gets that face like,
"Yo, you can't be looking at my girl."

Don't do it. Don't do it.

-Don't do it?
-Don't do it.

I think picking fights with the locals
is the dumbest thing that you can do.

-[Danny] Tell me to shut up and walk away?
-[Nehemiah] Yep.

'Cause I'm better than that.

-Shut up.
-Oh, you're better than that?

You fight guys on Sixth Street,
but you won't stand up for yourself here?

[Nehemiah] Not Costa Rica, homie. Shut up.

Danny just has
no respect here, and it sucks.

[Danny] If you were
with your girl, what would you do?

If he would've came over, put his hands on
you or something, that's different, okay?

So what he rolled by yelling things.
So what he was staring at Mel. So?

Guys stare at Mel and things all the time.
Are you gonna start a fight?

Exactly. Especially a girl that
looks like that, that every single guy,

no matter if we're in Costa Rica
or if we're at home,

every guy just turns his head

or looks at you,
because you don't deserve her.

You know what I mean?
Dude, I snap. I just want to go off.

Well, you got to learn not to.

-You can't go off.
-I'm trying, dude, but still...

You can't go off here just like
you can't go off on Sixth Street.

You know what I'm saying? Same thing.

Melinda is the type of girl that
Danny has always held on a pedestal,

the type of girl that Danny will go out
and see and be afraid to talk to.

And that's the reason why
Danny is afraid of getting hurt.

Because he feels that
he's on a level below Melinda.

I don't want you to look down
on me as somebody that, like,

you can't respect
or you can't be friends with.

We're cool, dawg.
You know what I'm saying?

Thank you.

-[waves crashing]
-[Melinda] So pretty.

Being in paradise and knowing that

I'm there with somebody that
I absolutely love and adore,

it's a first. And I'm having
a really, really nice time doing it.

That is unbelievable.

[Danny] There's nobody else around.

You know, it's perfect.
It's like out of a storybook.

-[Melinda chuckles]
-And, you know, I love being with her.

And it's... it's just amazing.

[Lacey] I'm so excited
about hanging from trees.

I know, me too.

[Wes] I wish I just wasn't so hungover
right now. I'd enjoy this a lot more.

[upbeat Latin music playing]

[Lacey] We are going on a canopy tour,
and I guess you go on ropes,

and you go from treetop to treetop.

I would just like to welcome you guys here
to Waterfalls Canopy Tour.

We're glad to have you with us today.

We're going to be taking
great care of you guys.

Sign your life away, okay?

[instructor 1] Just make me a line
and let's go.

[Melinda] I am afraid of heights.

Like, my hands are tingling.
[chuckles] It gets me really nervous.

-[Danny] You all right?
-No. I don't like this.

-[chain buckles]
-Okay, you ready?

-Oh, I... I guess.
-[instructor 2] Jump off.

-Okay. Oh, Lord, God.
-[upbeat rock music playing]

Oh, my God! [cheers]

[Nehemiah] The zip lines are awesome.

Booyakasha!

We're swinging from one tree to another...

-[Rachel cheers]
-...just hanging on a thin cord. I mean,

how much better can life get?

-Okay? Just pull on here.
-[Johanna] That was fun.

-That was awesome.
-That was fun.

[instructor 2]
Why you breathing like that?

I'm scared.

-[instructor 2] You are?
-Yeah.

-It's all yours. Here you go.
-[Danny] Come on, Melly.

-[Melinda cheers]
-[instructor 2] All right.

[Melinda screaming] Oh, my God!

-[shutters]
-[indistinct chatter]

-[Danny] You all right, Mel?
-[Melinda] I want to go home.

[laughs] I don't want to do this anymore.

[instructor 3] Too late for that.

[Johanna cheers]

Oh!

-All right!
-[cheers]

[Melinda] That one was fun. But now
I don't want to stand here. [chuckles]

-[Lacey] We got to rappel down there.
-What?

Bye.

[Melinda] I want to be on the ground.

-[Danny] I think you're doing great.
-'Cause there's no other way down.

-[laughs]
-[Danny] I am very proud of Mel.

To overcome your fear is,
you know, it's a big step.

[Danny] You're good, Mel.

-[Rachel] Yay!
-[Lacey] All done, Mel.

She's doing everything that she can
and she's doing it like a champ.

-Good job.
-Thank you.

[cheers]

-[Danny] Glad you did it?
-No.

-Ah. Shut up.
-[laughs]

[monkey screeches]

-[Wes] We ready?
-[Danny] Vamanos.

I'm staying here.

We're still going to come back
and go on the beach.

I know.

We leave Austin, Texas
to come to Costa Rica

to see something different
and we end up at a bar called the Monkey?

I'm just doing the same thing.
So I'm like,

I'm going to sit here
on the beach and chill out.

-All right. It's your prerogative.
-Yep.

[Nehemiah] Who's ready?

-[Melinda laughs]
-Let's go.

All right. I'm not
letting it hold me back.

-[Melinda laughs]
-[Wes] Later, Dan!

-[Melinda] Bye, you guys.
-[Lacey] Bye.

What the hell's that all about?

[Wes] That is messed up, dude.

Kid needs therapy
about something like that.

I'm done. Where are the girls?

[Melinda]
It's not even like it's a big deal.

[Danny] Even if you went out
I would've stayed home.

I'm kind of the same way, though.

[Danny] Yeah, they don't...
they don't think that.

They just think that
you're staying home 'cause I am.

If I'm not out getting wasted every night,

Wes doesn't respect me.
If I'm not out trying to cheat on Mel,

Nehemiah doesn't want to hang out with me.

They're big boys.
They can do whatever they want to do,

but don't make other people feel bad

that they don't want
to do the same thing you do.

Don't let it bother you that much.

[Nehemiah] Maybe we should have just
stayed home and looked at the beach

that wasn't going to be there
when we got back from the bar.

-[laughs]
-[laughs] Ain't that the truth?

[Nehemiah] It just sucks for Mel,
'cause she wanted to come out.

-[Rachel] I know. And I said...
-[Johanna] No.

Danny told me that it was Mel's idea...

-Yeah.
-...to want to stay.

-That's what he said to me.
-[Nehemiah] That's a lie.

I need to give her that book,
Codependent No More

-after all this is done.
-No, we need to get Danny that book called

Quit Having Such Insecurities.

[upbeat rock music concludes]

-[insects chirping]
-[birds hooting]

[quirky music playing]

I'm having a great time traveling
on the bus across Costa Rica.

I get to hang out
with my friends from the house a lot.

And I get to see the countryside

which I'm probably never
going to get to see again.

I'm just soaking it all in
and having a great time doing it.

Oh, my God, chicas!

-Oh!
-[Nehemiah] All right.

[Wes] I'm going out first.

[Lacey] This isn't even our hotel.

It says "Witch's Rock Surf Camp,"
and it looks just like the picture.

-Oh, yeah.
-[all laughs]

[Lacey] I'm absolutely petrified.

We're supposed to get
surfing lessons today.

[Joe] We do all
of our surf lessons right out in front.

And, uh, this is kind of the main
surf section for all of Tamarindo.

-Um. Has anyone surfed before?
-[Danny] No.

Unless you're ready
to change your life, don't go surfing.

[upbeat music playing]

[yelps] God, Jo, you suck!

I feel like an idiot.
I can't swim well, if at all.

As pretty as I think the ocean is,
it absolutely terrifies me to think of me

up to my chin in water when I can't swim.

Make sure your hands
and toes... and then push.

twist and bend your knees.

Our instructors are hard core.

Both of your feet are in the middle.

And then you're looking where you're
going to go. Keep the knees nice and bent.

[Wes] I'm paying attention.
I'm doing what they ask.

But it's a lot harder
than they made it sound. [chuckles]

[adventurous music playing]

No!

[Nehemiah] In the beginning,
surfing is a little difficult.

But after the couple of minutes
of learning how to do things, you know,

it's absolutely beautiful.
I mean, I love it.

[Lacey] I'm on it for four seconds
and then I roll under,

I get smacked in the face
by it, and it's not fun.

Everyone else looks like
what they're doing's fun,

but I'm eating dirt
and water and salt and board.

-[adventurous music concludes]
-[birds chirping]

-[Danny] Oh, yeah.
-[Lacey] I would totally believe that.

And everyone knows who that is.

[Danny] Oh, my God,
you look just like him.

-It totally just hit me.
-Oh, God. No.

You were, like, the light was shining

-and I was like, "Oh, my God!"
-[all laugh]

[Wes] Lacey looks at me, she's like,
"Wes, I know who you look like."

"You look like Prince Harry."

And I thought about it for a second.
And I'm like, "You know what?"

-"I kind of see it."
-[royal orchestra playing]

[Wes] Everyone gets the idea
to come up with this big scheme.

I'll walk in late.

Everyone get out your cameras
and just take pictures with flash.

And then, I'll introduce myself
as Prince Harry the whole night.

It ends up being a pretty bad idea,
but we try it anyway.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Wes] Oh, pa... Papara... paparazzi.

Paparazzi, paparazzi.

The guys are getting really into it.

Nehemiah and Danny
are checking their fake earpieces.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[Melinda] Did you see Danny?

[Wes] Anyone that comes up to talk to me,
they pat them down and search them...

Hey, hey, she's all right.
She's all right.

Did you search her?

-[Danny] Yeah.
-[Wes] Make them bow to me

and kiss my royal hand.

-[Wes] This is my bodyguard, Nehemiah.
-[man] Right on.

-Where you from, man?
-England.

[woman 1] How long are you here for?

Uh, I can't really tell you that.
I'm here for my father's honeymoon.

We convince a whole lot of Americans

that I was the Prince of England
with a Kansas accent.

[woman 2]

Oh, thank you.

-Wow, these girls are desperate.
-Hey, cheers. Cheers.

Oh, you're obsessed with Prince William.
If he was here, you'd do the same thing.

He's... he is a good-looking guy, okay?

But I'm sure there's celebrities
that you find attractive.

-W... Would you bang Prince William?
-If I was single.

Oh, my God, Dan. Just stop it.

Don't ever... don't ever tell me
you'd bang another guy.

-[Melinda] Stop it.
-I'm leaving.

-I hope you realize this is not...
-I'm leaving. You know what?

-This is stupid.
-From the guy... That guy right there...

-That guy...
-[Melinda] Why are you trying to ruin this

whole vacation by doing stuff like this?

What is wrong here?

-Go bang your guy, Mel.
-Okay, I'll go get on him right now.

[Danny] It's over. It's over.

[Melinda] I know that
I've been drunk before

and I've made some stupid comments,

but I've never once said that
I didn't want to be with him anymore.

Yeah. Done. Done.

-As in what?
-That's done.

[indistinct chatter]

Yeah. I don't want to talk
about it right now. Don't want to ruin...

-I don't want to ruin the night.
-Huh?

-He broke up with me. So...
-[Johanna speaking indistinctly]

[Melinda] It's hard because now, for me,

I just want to put up these walls
and be able to protect myself,

because I don't want to let myself
be that vulnerable for somebody

and know that they have the opportunity
to be able to break my heart.

[men shouting in distance]

[birds chirping]

[Danny] Apparently, me and Mel
had some big fight last night

that I don't really recall.

I really don't remember
what happened last night.

All that I know is that I did
the most stupid thing in the world.

[Wes] Yeah, you broke up with her.

-You serious?
-[Wes] Yeah.

-You don't remember that?
-No.

-Is that what she told you?
-No. That's what you told me.

"We're done! We're done!"

"Uh. I... never again."

"We're not getting
back together. It's over!"

"She said she wanted
to have sex with Prince William."

-"I cannot take that."
-[laughs] My God, I was drunk as hell.

Danny breaks up with her
because he misinterpreted

the stupidest thing ever based off
how Ret*rded he gets when he drinks.

Prince William?
How did that come into play?

-The Prince Harry thing?
-That's not my fault!

-[Danny] Dammit, Harry!
-[chuckles]

[birds chirping]

[indistinct chatter]

[dramatic music playing]

[Rachel] Pull up a chair.

It is definitely up to Danny
to apologize to me

for the argument last night
because I didn't do anything wrong.

What do you say to somebody
when, you know, somebody that you...

you absolutely adore and absolutely love,

and you break up with them
because you're drunk?

[Rachel] I take it
you guys didn't work it out last night.

-[Melinda] He was just really drunk.
-[Rachel] Yeah.

[Melinda] How could you work anything out
with somebody who's really drunk?

[Rachel] I hate how he constantly
breaks up with you. [chuckles]

-I mean, even though it's not realistic...
-He's never done that before.

But, I know he didn't mean it,
and I know it was just stupid.

I know that something else is bothering
him, but he's not telling me what it is.

You'll never be able to look
at Prince William again. [laughs]

[laughs]

[birds chirping]

[Danny] I'm keeping my distance from her,
not because I don't want to be with her,

but because I just
don't know what to say to her.

There's just no way around it.

I acted immature
and I hurt the one person that,

you know, meant the most to me.

Mel, I [bleep] up.

I know you probably
heard that a million times.

I was drunk and stupid.
I didn't... I didn't even know I said it,

and that's the worst part about it.

[Melinda] I knew right away
that it was just a stupid argument.

It wasn't anything that made sense,
and I even said it to you.

The only thing that bothered me
is that you broke up with me.

-And that's it.
-[Danny] Which I don't remember.

-I woke up this morning...
-Okay.

...and I know it was stupid.
I can't believe I would even say that.

So where do I go from here, now?
'Cause I can't fix it, can I?

[Melinda] I think that you're really
sensitive when it comes to me,

and there's a certain way
you want me to act.

And if I don't act that way,
you get really mad. It's hard for me.

[Danny] I'm really insecure, Mel,
walking beside you and every guy...

[Melinda] We already talked about this.

-...turns around and it's just like...
-[Melinda] We already talked about this.

I feel like I'm not
good enough for you, Mel.

I have no clue where
Danny's insecurities stem from.

He has so much going for him,
and it's hard for me that

he doesn't see any of that.

[Danny] Normally, I would walk away
and say, "You don't deserve this"

and "Go do your thing and I'll stay away
from you," but I don't want to lose you.

I feel like I did.

So I'm trying to apologize.
I'm trying to fix it. So...

["Frame by Frame" playing]

[Melinda] Things will be all right.
I just need a little bit of healing time.

♪ I'll walk the same path
Say the same lines ♪

♪ I'll do this every time

[dramatic music concludes]

[birds chirping]

[upbeat music playing]

The river is called Rio Arenal.
It's a class three river.

We have a total of 35 rapids.

[Lacey] My first thought when I hear
about white-water kayaking

is like, "Can I wear two life jackets?"

[instructor] Okay, the river
doesn't go in a straight line.

It takes a lot of turns like this.

So, you need to be able to turn the kayak.

If you fall into the water,
put your feet downstream,

start swimming over to the side.

[Lacey]

No. We have soft rocks in Costa Rica.

[all laugh]

I'm really relieved that I get
to go kayaking with one of the guides.

It completely erases all the fears I have,

'cause I know he's not
going to let me get hurt.

-[screams]
-[upbeat rock music playing]

[screams, laughs]

It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience
you get to go kayaking in Costa Rica.

I'm proud that I wasn't wussy
and whined about it.

-[cheers]
-[instructor] Did everybody have fun?

-Yeah.
-[all] Yeah.

[Johanna] You know how sore
we're going to be tomorrow?

-Oh, my God.
-[chuckles]

[upbeat rock music concludes]

[soft music playing]

-[Danny] Wish we didn't have to leave.
-[Melinda] Yeah, I know. It's nice here.

[kisses]

[whispers] I like that plant.

Oh! [chuckles] You're sneaky.

You're sneaky.

[laughs] I love this thing.
I was just talking about it.

Oh...

-[Melinda] Stop buying me things.
-[Danny] I like buying you things.

[Melinda] I look at Danny
and I see somebody

that I absolutely love and care about

and know that I'm getting
the same feelings and emotions in return.

Thank you.

I just hope that over time I'll prove
to her again that she can trust me,

and I would never, ever want to hurt her.
That's the last thing I'd ever do.

[Melinda] That was very sweet of you.

You're sneaky, though. [laughs]

[Lacey] We leaving anything behind?

[Melinda] Do you need me to carry?
Here. Give me your bags.

-Thank you.
-[Lacey] Thank you, guys.

-That was awesome.
-Thank you.

[Lacey] Do you have someone to say bye to?

[soft music concludes]

-[man] The stinking toe.
-[Wes] Looks like one.

-It's called the stinking toe?
-Uh-huh. Yeah, I'll show you.

[pod snapping]

Is it going to smell worse
when you open it?

[Nehemiah] Probably. That's...

[man] The honey inside,
that's what you eat.

[man] So one of you want to try?

It's act... it actually tastes good.

-I'll try it.
-I'll do it.

Lick it. Tastes... tastes like chocolate.

Tastes like chocolate?

[laughs] That ain't no chocolate.

[Johanna] I wouldn't say chocolate, dude.

This guy gonna give me turd breath
for the rest of the day. [laughs]
