17x14 - Janelle and Jose's Fight

[bunniefuu]

Previously onThe Real World:I don't think John's a bad guy,

but the kid's stupid sometimes.

Tyler, just listen, if you have a problem

with me, just talk to me, dude.

I don't dislike you.

I dislike the [bleep]

that comes out of your mouth constantly.

But that'syour...

He just made me feel so bad for what I am,

and it's like, I don't think there's anything wrong with me.

KEITH: I can't deal with this.

And you're not [bleep] helping with your behavior.

So you change, and you change real fast.

Okay, you can speak to me... not like this.

I'm a little bit fired up right now.

Yeah, well, fire down because I hate it.

Don't you feel bad when you talk to him?

Why would I feel bad?

You know that this guy could k*ll you.

He put her in the hospital because

he physically hurt her.

This is the true story...

Gorgeous, man.

Of seven strangers...[ laughter ]

Picked to live in a house...

Work together and have their lives taped...

Whoa!

To find out what happens...[ gasping ]

When people stop being polite...

And start getting real.

ALL: The Real World: Key West.

PAULA: I'm almost thankful

as hard as this is, 'cause it's

forcing me to figure stuff out, like, figure it out.

So it's like, get control

and finally get it right this time.

JOHN: I think the fact that Paula's in therapy right now

is working wonders for her.

She's finally able to, like, start making changes

and start trying to better herself.

Have you told him about your boyfriend yet?No.

That's a whole other ball of wax.

How long as it been since he's

supposedly trying to turn over a new leaf?

A year. I mean, it's still really new.

And that's why he's just... Well..

Dude, you really just need to look out.Yeah.

I just need to know if there's some things

that should never be forgivable.

PAULA: Just for Johnny to take the time to ask

and care, it's nice.

And I feel better that I'm going to get help.

[yawning]: I don't know about you.

It's exhausting talking to you.

[chuckles]: Imagine being me.

Yeah.

♪ Every step's been uncertain

♪ But you're learning

♪ To be alive

♪ It feels all right

[line rings]

KEITH:Hello?PAULA: Hey.

Hey, baby, what's up?

The appointment with my doctor went well.

What'd you guys talk about?

You and everything and...

How'd that go?

I just asked "Do you think people can change?" and he goes,

"If I didn't think people could change,

I would shut my door right now and quit this job."

There you go.So I said, "Well, do you think

that it's too risky to be okay?" And he's like,

"Just be aware if you ever see any signs of anything,

I know that you're not tolerating it and that's it."

That was fair.

Dr. Covan's like

"It is a chance, but life's chances."

And when he said that I was like, "Yes."

He didn't make me feel bad,

he didn't make me feel embarrassed.

For the first time,

I felt like somebody, like, really, really listened.

Hey, I just love you and I miss the [bleep] out of you.

Could you just try not to use words "I love you"

and "I [bleep] miss the [bleep] out of you"

in the same sentence, please?

Sorry.

JOHN: Set me up, guys.

It's ready. Oh, yeah.It's ready?

COMPUTERIZED VOICE: Door opening.

[screams] Yeah, you just stamp it down.

And you got to...

Guys, John wants attention.

When does he not want attention?

I don't know.Please, tell me that.

Do not open the door.

Keep the door closed at all times.

Yo, you know what?

[screams]

Oh, my God!John...!

Cutest little tush.

Look at me, I've nothing interesting about me.

Blah, blah, blah, look at me, I talk...

Don't cramp his style, all right?

PAULA: I think it's funny.It's his big moment.

Just let him have it.Come on, let him have it.

Let him have it.Or else he's going to be so cranky.

When I see John like this, I think to myself,

"Why is he like this?"

Did he not get enough attention as a child?

Ricky, sometimes I feel sorry for you.

Do you get embarrassed by us?

I will go to therapy, do not worry.

And I know we've got to have that covered

under our insurance policy by now.

[hissing]

TYLER: See, now, our... do you know why I'm a bit concerned

about working with people like that?

I'm like, "Who does this guy really think he is?"

[chuckling]

SVETLANA: John is just a really funny,

goofy guy, and I don't mind

laughing at him and laughing with him.

But that bothers Tyler a lot

because Tyler likes to be in the spotlight.

And when he's not in the spotlight,

he doesn't want anybody else in it.

TYLER: Well, I don't really care how he reacts,

because I'm a better person than him.

Why do you want to judge?

It's fine, it's fine.

SVETLANA: It makes me so mad

when anybody, especially Tyler,

says that he's better than somebody else.

God bless you guys for being able to just...

like, a-a-abide by what he wants

because he's going to have a tantrum,

but I just can't do that.

I just, I've had decent, serious conversations

and I think he has a lot to offer.

I think you would be able to see that more if he felt

maybe worthy of your time.

But I think he feels that you look at him

like he's beneath you.

Most people find him, like, egregiously obnoxious.

How do you go from dealing with people that are up here

and, like, doing amazing things with their lives

and being forced to deal with that?

And that's when I say, like, I'm a better person, it's like

you have to understand where I'm coming from.

Basically with John, his main motivation each day

is to get food...

get rest and maybe have sex, I don't know.

PAULA: I just think they need to respect each other more.

They don't have to like each other more,

but they need to respect each other more

and give each other more credit.

It's basically, who gets on my nerves more this week.

Whether it's Fitz or him.

It's one or the other.

People are really into exacerbating

other people's problems so it makes theirs

look less. Mm-hmm

Janelle's like, "You have a big problem with John."

I was like, "No, he's just really getting on my nerves."

Like, today, just, like, I couldn't handle it anymore.

But everybody in the house gets frustrated with him.

Absolutely. Absolutely.

JOHN: They told me that Tyler was talking ...

Not talking ... That he wanted to approach you.

He's not gonna... He will never approach me, dude.

Is that bad that I said that?No.

No, it's not at all.

You know, it has been brought to my attention that Tyler

has been talking about me behind my back

and saying that I'm inappropriate.

Where does Tyler come off calling me inappropriate

when he's one of the most inappropriate kids

I've ever met?

I'm learning so much about watching him

'cause I definitely see

certain characteristics of myself.

Like, when I'm in group settings, I really like

to be, like, the center of attention.

But now you see what it looks like.Yes.

I think on some level, that's why I get mad.

I'm like, "God, am I like that?

Am I that bad?"

SVETLANA: It just upset me that he said that he was

better than... like, other people.

Well, he always does.PAULA: He says that about

everybody in general.I know, that's what I'm saying.

That fact that he said that, like, made me look at him like,

"Why would you ever think that?"

JOHN: The fact that Tyler wants to say

all this stuff behind my back

and not say any of it to my face

really gets to me.

I actually want to entice him into confronting me

about the way he feels.

Keith sends me a package, and in it

is three or four bags of my favorite peanuts.

Do you see this?

'Cause he knows that I love them.

I get a few pictures

and a letter to me-- very, very sweet.

He sends me a box full of stuff to make me smile

and remind me of us.

Wait.

Wait.

ZACH: What do you got?

Tell me this isn't what I think it is.

It looks like it's Cristal.

Shut up.Yeah.

He said, "Congratulations on your grand opening.

Share it with whoever you choose."

Let's look it up and see how much it costs.

Fitz is going to freak out.Don't share it with her.

Oh, my God.

ZACH: ... $.

Holy [bleep].

I just thought that was so nice

for him to be excited for us.

PAULA: Hi.

Hi.

Guess what I got?

Your package?

You are out of your mind.

Why?

That was the nicest thing ever.

Do you miss me a little now?

I'm saving that bottle forever.

Why?

Well, just the bottle. Maybe I'll drink the stuff inside.

Yeah. Just drink the stuff inside.

I wonder if we should just save it

so like when you come.

Well, maybe.

PAULA: I don't even think about

how the roommates are going to feel about Keith coming.

But I would hope that the roommates would have enough

faith in me to know that Keith is a good choice for me.

As long as we keep on moving in a good direction.

Babe...

Yeah, baby?Thank you.

I'm glad it made you happy.

It did.

May I send a quick e-mail?

Yeah, absolutely. I'm totally done with the Internet.

'Cause the phoneis busy.Yeah, no problem.

Oh, what's this?

You look sexy tonight.Really?

Yeah.Thank you.

Look like you're ready to have some fun tonight.

TYLER: I'm furious with Svetlana

because she's trying to plant a bad seed,

and it's frustrating

'cause I don't dislike John, you know.

I do want to set things right with John,

so it's kind of like, why would she do that?

I'm plotting.

What are you thinking?

Something maniacal.

Something really good.

I can't believe she took it upon herself.

Svetlana was like, "Yeah, you said he was better than you."

And I was like, "Well, I totally did."

Which is fine 'cause I can deal with that

because I was talking [bleep].

The fact that she exacerbates it,

I was like...[laughing]

Damn. I know.

So now I have to deal with him,

which will be easy enough,

but she's the one I'm going to have fun with.

Operation b*tch Takedown.

Well, we need to talk because, you know what? Everyone else has talked for us.

JOHN: Oh, this is a long night, dude.

[belches]

With me and Tyler

there have been many flare-ups in the past

that I feel at this point have been unresolved.

You know how Fitz is.

It's... certain information has been leaked to me

that she's been exacerbating certain comments, and by

the time I get... I talk to you, eight different people

have talked to you.

And it bothers me because

if I were you, I'd be mad at me.

What's confused me so much about you

is like, this kid seems so intelligent and so worldly,

yet he can't pull me aside

and try and ... resolve our differences, dude.

In a normal college setting, if I had

an issue with you, I could bounce these ideas off

my friends, and then go back to you with my problem.

But unfortunately here,

other people are talking to you before me

and I've been just talking to them just bouncing off ideas,

because who else do I have to talk to here?

Me, dude.

Even though I come off sometimes like a jackass,

and like I like to have a good time,

that's not who I am deep down, dude.

I'm here to learn, dude.

I want to like... hang out and like have a good time.

At the same time I want to like...

I want to change, dude. Like it's cool.

TYLER: For the first time I really see Johnny for who he is.

He's not acting for everyone else.

He's not putting on a show. He's just being

very vulnerable, sweet, Johnny.

I want you to know that, like, this isn't an issue between you and I.

This is more an issue with other people in the house

taking it upon themselves to try and like

play intermediary between the two of us.

And why do you think I'm after Fitz right now?

She's... she's instigating

because she has nothing better to do.

And I'm going to make the b*tch pay.

ZACH: Did you talk to your ex B.F.?PAULA:Mm-hmm.

I called my ex, but it's not really like

we're like exes.

We've been more like trying to figure everything out.

Yeah?

ZACH: Paula has had things

happen to her by Keith

that some people would deem as inexcusable.

But if she is willing to give him another chance,

who am I to say that she can't make that happen?

He's been to anger management classes...

Mm-mm....and different things to try to make it better.

And the doctor was like, "Well, you know,

"he's doing all the things that he should

"be doing and it doesn't sound like

he'd go through all this effort and pretend, so..."

I even told Keith-- I was like, there's still a possibility that I'll come

to the conclusion that you and me are not a good idea.

You know, I'm living for myself

and I want the best for me.

I also want the best for him,

but I think it's okay that I want the best for me first.

Nothing's set in stone.

I'm just taking it day by day.

I'm proud of you, Paula.

Thanks.

ZACH: Keith is going to be showing up

and he's going to be staying a night

in Key West with us at the house. I'm happy for Paula

because she loves this guy.

[phone dialing]

[phone ringing]

Hello.Hey.

Hey.

[sobbing]: You can't stay here.

That's all right, baby.

No, it's not.

Why?'Cause I needed that to happen.

Did they tell you why?

It's too much of a liability.

You could still come over, but you can't stay over.

Is she mad that he can't stay in the house?

Yeah, she's like, I don't want anything 'cause he can't sleep here.

'Cause that's all she wanted was to sleep next to him.

I mean, I don't feel comfortable.

And like he's buying her gifts.

I mean, gifts are the easiest.

I've lived with someone that's like been...

you know, before...So have I. I had three girls...

Yeah, okay, then you're like why don't...?

But none of them went into therapy.

I'm picturing he just went like... smacked her when they were really drunk.

But I don't know if he physically...Have you talked to them?

'Cause it's not one of those questions like, oh...

I talked about it...You don't ask things like that.

She was just like, "I had to go to the hospital."

Are you serious?She went to the hospital.

That's why he was arrested. He had to go to counseling.Whoa!

What did you think?

He just hit her and she didn't tell anybody?

I didn't hear. I just...

He was forced-- court-ordered-- to get help.

Well, she shouldn't be talking to him.

And I don't want her talking to him if that's the case.

I don't want Keith in the house.

Based... Any person based on what they found out about him,

would not want him in their house.

I understand, babe.

Well, I don't.

That's the one thing I needed.

That's the one thing I was looking forward to.

I know, baby. I was, too. I was, too.

But I can't get mad about it.

It's my fault.

Like ultimately it's my fault.

I'm so sorry for that.

I'm always punished for your fault.

Do I think he would ever hurt me again physically?

Absolutely not.

But other people worry about that.

I don't even know what to do now.

Please don't worry.

I'm going to get to see you.

I don't want to!

Why not?

Because I don't care now.

That was the one thing I wanted.

At least when we were sleeping,

then I could just be next to you--

that's all I wanted.

Huge book.

I'm just surprised

that it was that bad.

From what Paula says, he's changed so much, and

I trust Paula and I know that she will make

the right decision if she ever feels threatened.

I don't think she'll make the same mistake twice.

♪ Then extend your gaze to a private daze ♪

Baby, I love you so much and I'm so sorry.

I don't think you'll ever really be able to understand that,

'cause you didn't do anything wrong and I did.

I got to live with that and I am so sorry, okay?

All right, baby, bye.

♪ Can't disguise these fighting skies ♪

♪ Can take the love out of our eyes... ♪

Poor Paula.

I'm going to go talk to her.

[sighs]

Good luck.

Nothing is my fault,

but it always happens to me.

Don't do that.

Don't get down on yourself.

Don't lose.

If you don't see him, you know that you're gonna regret it so bad.

You'll be okay. When he gets here,

just be happy to see him. You won't even think about it.

You'll see how long he can stay and you'll see him in the morning.

So just be a few hours not with him.

It's better than nothing at all.

When people are telling me

that something is bad for me constantly,

I don't really listen. I just defend and I argue.

And that's kind of the way I'm trying to approach Paula;

to be open.

Want to go put a pretty face on?

Yeah? Let's go.

We only have, like, a few minutes.

Come on.

[people conversing]

PAULA: I wish you could have heard the things

that Keith was saying.

He was being so understanding.

Tyler said that?Like as he was rambling. He's, like, "I don't feel

comfortable, and I understand why he can't be here."

I haven't spoken to Tyler at all.

I mean, it's weird.

It's like I think the people in the house

with the loudest opinions are the ones

that haven't approached me about the whole Keith thing.

That's the thing about him.

Yeah?

He'll never know. He'll never get it.

He's very... in his ways.

That's the difference with Tyler.

Now I know that Tyler is, like,

"I'm not comfortable with him staying."

Tyler said he's not comfortable with...?

Wow, that's really ... up.

Nobody, unless they have lived my entire life,

has any reason to say anything about what they would do,

what's right, what's wrong.

I'm, like, nobody has any reason to say anything.

Nobody knows the whole story about me and Keith

except me and Keith.

And as long as I have a faith

that I'm doing the right things and that me and him

are being positive and supportive for each other,

then that's how I'm going to live my life.

I think it's unfortunate for him to be so closed-minded.

He's also a h*m* that's been judged a million times

twice till Sunday, and...

Oh, yeah, like, I can understand that where...

Well, then he should be more accepting to other things

that aren't, you know...

That, that he should.Right.

But some people aren't like that,

and I'm not gonna be like, "Okay..."

PAULA: He's also a self-righteous [ bleep]

that only listens to his own scenarios.

JOSE:All right, I've never done one of these,

so you have to show me the ropes.

Oh, I'm an expert at burn books. Let the bashing begin.

After listening to crap come out

of Svetlana's mouth on a daily basis,

we think to ourselves,

"This stuff is priceless. We need to write it down."

When she was about seven or eight years old,

she would go up to the Poconos and play Spin The Bottle

with and -year-olds and she would kiss 'em and hug 'em.

I used to run around with a ketchup bottle

and, like, a little bikini top and little skirt--

"Let's play Spin The Bottle! Let's play Spin The Bottle!"

Now my personal favorite-- Hooters Girl.

SVETLANA: I was a Hooters Girl for Halloween.

JOSE:You and every other big-breasted chick out there.

Yeah, but I was original. I was original. I was .

When you were , you were a Hooters girl??

She will not marry anything less than a lawyer.

She's mentioned it on more than one occasion.

So what is Martin?

Well, he's going to be a freshman in college next year.

She mentioned today that when she met him,

he had a very nice car,

and that's what attracted her to him.

"Mm, money makes me happy."

Direct quote.Okay.

[laughs]

JANELLE: I feel kinda bad,

just because, you know, I am participating

in the burn book,

but if you had to deal with the ridiculous things

that Svetlana says on a daily basis,

you'd be creating a burn book, too.

We need to get a list of allergies.Lobster.

Okay, the list of allergies, page five.

Lobster, nuts, onions, latex, sperm,

and we ventured a guess she's also allergic to

Janelle and myself.

The eating disorder!

How could you, Tyler? How...?

I'm sorry.I'm very upset.

JANELLE: This is so much information.

I'm very upset right now.

I can't take it anymore.

Honestly, if she saw this book ever,

I'd have a knife in my thigh.

[laughing]

because I don't want to be a boyfriend.

EMCEE: Competing for the title of Miss Hawaiian Tropic...

I really adore Crystal.

I'm really bummed that you're being a [bleep].

I'm not being a [bleep].

What's that mean?Not good.

Baby, don't cry.

What are you guys gonna do?

Can't do anything.
