17x19 - Wake of the Storm

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously onThe Real World.

Mom, how would you feel if two people

devoted all of their time to just making fun of you?

They're losers. You should treat them like low life.

Does your mom want to talk to one of those low lifes?

Tyler, get out. Go eavesdrop on somebody else's conversation.

Tyler is treating me like crap.

People feel that you embellish on things.

Janelle makes me feel like

everybody in this house doesn't like me.

It's not just Tyler, it's everybody.

[sobbing]

Well, I've got a few things to tell you.Okay.

We're gonna have to close down Mystic Tan Salon Studio.

[gasps]

Oh...Oh, my God.

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.

Hi, Ricky.Well, I've got

a few things to tell you.Okay.

We're gonna have to close down Mystic Tan Salon Studio.

[gasps]

Oh...Oh, my God.

The reason is, starting Thursday,

no one will be there to run the store.

Why? Why?

You will all be going on your well-deserved vacation.

[shrieking]

Where are we going?

It's : p.m. at the house, a travel agent on STA...

[shrieking]

TYLER: I'm excited to go anywhere in the world

and whatever STA Travel says that we're gonna go,

I'm gonna embrace with open arms.

This is international. Yeah, we're not going

to New York or something.

TYLER:We're not going to Orlando.

We're going to, like, Egypt, or something big.

Or Morocco or Brazil.

JANELLE: Yeah, or Australia.No.

SVETLANA: When you feel like you're not

getting along with anybody in in the house

and nobody likes you, no matter where you're going

even if it's space, you're not going to be excited

'cause you just think, "I don't want to be

around these people. I don't care where I'm going."

JANELLE: One thing like I've sort of noticed with you and Fitz

is I sort of feel like...

you're isolating from everyone.

I understand, like, you and Fitz are really close, but...

I never get to see you because you're always with Fitz.

PAULA:She's, like, a lot to handle, but, like,

she's younger and a lot of people

ask a lot of her.

I would never want her to be like, you know,

"I'm all by myself," 'cause that's an awful

feeling to have, so as long as,

like, she has me, we can hang out, she'll feel fine.

I would never want anybody to feel completely alone.

JOSE: Hello.

ROOMMATES: Hi!

Need some help with that?

Hmm... Maybe, but you can't open them yet.

All right, I won't.Not yet.

Have you ever heard of STA Travel?

Yeah, they're on campus.

STA Travel is the world's largest

student travel organization,

and I have your presents.

Any guesses what's inside?

Books?Tickets?

Tickets? Itineraries?

Spain! Spain, Spain, Spain.

Spain.

Yeah!Here we go.

Barcelona!

An Olympic tour!

PAULA: I'm kind of excited

that I don't even know what to expect.

The people and the food and the culture and...

the nightlife.

Madrid, you get Seville,

and you get Barcelona.

JOHN: I'm envisioning Spain

to just be flocking with gorgeous Spanish women

Penelope Cruz-esque.

Happy?

I'm happy.

I've often dreamed of going to Barcelona.

SVETLANA: I've never been to Spain.

My mother's been there. She said it's a very, very

romantic city, which kind of bums me out

because I'm probably going to miss Martin a lot.

ZACH: Spain.

Spain. To Spain.

So we're leaving to Spain today.

JOSE: And we're going to have

a great time and experience

something new.

Viva España!

We're gonna get some dirty Spaniards.

Adios.

Adios. Adios. Adios.

Adios. Adios. Adios, Key West.

JANELLE: España!

TYLER: España!

Thank you, darling.

Oh! How cute!

We're down. We're in the corner.

Oh, don't tell me I got to go downstairs.

They're down a whole flight of stairs.

Ooh, nice and far away.

Svetlana can get annoying at times.

This is so cute!

JANELLE: I'm just glad to be able to have

peace and quiet away fromher.

The other two are on another floor.

[all laughing]

TYLER: I want to kind of show Johnny that there's more to Europe

than booze and [bleep].

¿Donde esta ma... caballo?

I want him to

enjoy the Old World culture.

JOHN: I smell the horse poop.

I smell thecaca de caballo.

This one right here.

Hey. Oh, look at

where we're at. Graciones.

What Spain's actually been like is so much different

than I pictured it.Really?

JOHN: I thought it was going to be all dirt roads, people that look

like, you know, the turbans and snake charmers.

Yeah, we're not going to Egypt. That's how I pictured it.

I'm blown away

by everything Spain has to offer.

Are you listening to me?

The whole point is, what the hell is

the point of, like, I'm glad that you can have, like,

the attitude of, like, if I ever do something

to you, fine, [bleep] it.

But obviously it would still be hard.

Yeah, but you never said that before.

Well, it's, it's obvious.

No, it's n... it'sobvious?

It's obvious?

I'm not a robot. I'm not a computer.

You are!

You never ever, ever, ever, ever

tell me how you're feeling and your emotions.

We're just both really frustrated.

We miss each other a lot.

I'm just frustrated that I can't see him,

so everything is just bothering me,

and everything's bothering him.

That's why. I didn't want to go out. Just 'cause of that.

[Martin sighs]

Are we done?

Are you busy?

You know Ford? You hear of Ford?

Yes, of course.

Okay. The big Ford trucks.

Yes.

That's an SUV.

Okay.

JOHN: To meet girls, in America,

you've always got to be a hundred percent

on top of your game so you don't come off

sounding like an idiot, whereas here, they expect you

to sound like an idiot if you don't know

their language, so it just makes it that much easier.

Cheers.

[speaking indistinctly]

Yes!

I love it.

TYLER: It's really exciting to see Paula

kind of separate herself from Svetlana.

Even like tonight when she was like, "Oh, no,

I'm not gonna go out," I'm like, "What happened?

You get a phone call?" "Yeah."

"Martin?" "Yeah."

"It was bad?" "Yeah."

I said, "All right, so you're

going to letthatruin Madrid?"

TYLER: It's really exciting to see Paula

kind of become her own person when we get to Spain.

You see this different person, this bright-eyed, innocent girl

that's kind of experiencing the world for the first time.

Now, where are you going to school? In Germany?

I went to school.

You're done with college already?

Yes, I went to a... I don't know how to say.

JOHN: I initially intended to come to Spain

to meet a nice Spanish girl, but

you know what? She's European, I guess,

so I guess that kind of works out somehow.

Yeah!

TYLER: Give us a show!

That one, she's a nice girl. I know.

She's an amazing girl, but what I'm saying is

that's what they do back in Germany.

I just wanted to let you know, all right?

JOSE: Her friend May actually told me that,

in Germany, if you like a guy, you have a one-night stand

and you hook up with him the first night.

JOHN: I thought that American girls were very aggressive,

but, German girls, you take the cake

I commend you.

♪ Bungalay, bungalow ♪

♪ Make up your mind and tell me no ♪

[laughing]: Tyler...

Hello, it's : in the morning.

I'm going to sleep. John...

I will not [bleep] around, Zach.

I [bleep] swear to God, dude.

ZACH: He's kicked out two roommates.

And we've given him half an hour.

I know he takes about two seconds.

[all laugh]

There will be plenty more times

to see Johnny have sex with girls.

We've kind of interrupted

whatever was happening, you know.

Most likely, they were playing solitaire.

I fly to Germany pretty frequently,

so next time I'm down there,

we'll eat some pirogies, and drink some beers and...

Yes, very good beer.

I wish that I would have met her a little bit sooner

just so I'd be able to spend a little more time

with her and get to know her, not have it just be

kind of "wham, bam, thank you, ma'am" scenario.

Next stop, Sevilla.

Sevilla.

Smells like poopy. Smells like horse poop.

JANELLE: Well, there's horses right there.

This is your city still?

This is my city.

It's very culture.

We are in the city of romance.

Are we going to have any visitors at the hotel again?

What kind of visitors are we talking about?

Are there moreto come?

Mano grande.Mano grande.

John: This is nice.

You know what this reminds me of?

Romeo and Juliet.

I think this is it right here.Wow!

The Doña Maria.

Me llamo Juan de los Platanos.

CONCIERGE: Este es para tres. Para tres personas.

Old school, dude.

I feel like I'm at my grandma's house.

Grandma, when's dinner?

JOSE: This is gorgeous.

Sevilla is a very old city, , years old.

JOHN: What I find amazing about Spain is the history.

This is brand new. I mean, brand new; th century.

Much newer than the rest of the cathedral.

JOHN: In America, we think

a couple hundred years is classical historical.

You get here and a couple hundred years

is a blink of an eye.

That street on the left-hand side

which is Juderia.

"Juderia" means "Jewish."

Jewish neighborhood, but it's the only thing which survived.

SVETLANA: We have this great tour guide, and she shows us where the old,

uh, Jewish, like, ghetto used to be.

Some of the Jews stayed till official expelling,

which was in .

What year did the Spanish Inquisition begin?

That's .

We're going to go through a very narrow street.

Just be careful because it is known as

"The Street of The Kiss."

JANELLE: Johnny, stop trying to kiss me.

SVETLANA: To be in Sevilla, 'cause it's such an old, romantic place,

you really do want to be with someone that you love.

All right, we get so upset. Do you hear anything I say,

or do you have to just give me all your bull [bleep]

every time you talk to me?Excuse me?

If I'd forgotten, then why would I...?

If you don't stop yelling, I'm going to hang up the phone.

Everybody can hear you.I don't care!

Fine, I'm glad that you don't give a [bleep].

You don't give a [bleep] about anything.

The more you say "I don't [bleep] care..."

I'm talking. I'm talking. I'm talking.

Fitz, don't talk to this guy right now.

Because you're in a new city. Like, come hang out with us.

Everyone's listening and I'm like, I can't even

think straight to, like, calm him down, 'cause I know

that he misses me and he's so aggravated.

I'm, like, "Martin, I can't even think" and I hung up.So don't call him.

No, but it's not right. I shouldn't treat him like that.

ZACH: The purpose of our trip is to be together

and experience a new culture,

to just have fun and let loose

and forget all about the drama back home.

Do you ever feel like you bring

some of the stuff on yourself?

Like frustrations with Martin?

My frustrations have nothing, like,

my frustrations are just here.

Me and Martin never fight this much.

The only time I'm upset, the only time

I don't want to be here is when I'm around Janelle and Tyler.

It's unfair that I really can't open up to these people, I

can't deal with a lot of issues that I came here to deal with.

I'm so annoyed and so, like, closed off,

because of the people that I am living with.

Well...You should come out and drink.

You should come out and drink.

I can't enjoy this place

because I'm just so bummed out.

She was, like... I heard her bitching on the phone to Martin.

"I hate it here. I hate everyone.

"I don't get along and I'm miserable.

I just want itto end."

I was, like, no matter what,

whether it's Key West, whether it's Philly,

whether it's East Bumble whoever... Yeah.

I'm, like, unless you are happy with yourself,

you're not going to be happy anywhere.This is true.

JOSE: Svetlana's actually improved a lot from the beginning,

and she feels rather left out with the rest of the group

and kind of just unappreciated, and I feel bad for her.

I'm trying to, like, kick her in the a*s,

and I know what it's going to take,

and she's just not there yet.

[woman speaking Spanish]

You know, Barcelona was founded , years ago.

PAULA: We take a tour

that brings us up

to the top of Barcelona, and you're just like,

there's so much I want to see.

Ta-ta-ta!Ta-ta-ta!

Oh, I'm going to have to go first.

TYLER: I'm just going pee.

You have to pay to use the bathroom?Well, yes.

Quick.One, by one, no?

Oh, my God, look at that.

Get your a*s out of here.

JANELLE: Wait, where do you pee?In the toilet.

[sneezes]

Yeah, but there's no hole for it to flush.It flushes.

JANELLE: But where does it flush? there's no hole.

It doesn't spray the whole thing.

It's not like a Mystic Tan.

That sounds like a Mystic Tan.

Oh, my gosh, it's a mystic toilet.

GUIDE: This is the Olympic Stadium...

[humming theme from Olympics]

TYLER: One of my passions

are the Olympics and the Olympic movement,

because not only what it represents in sport,

but what it represents in the human spirit.

Representana Hungria... Dima Prkinokran.

I was ten years old, and the ' Olympics were in Barcelona.

Ever since I watched those magical games,

it's always been my dream to go to that city

and kind of see it for myself.

I'm finally here.

It's stunning to me, and it's a dream come true.

PAULA: Is it spiritual?Yeah.

You looklike it.

PAULA: Coming to Spain-- it makes me feel worldly.

It makes me appreciate

everything else that the world has to offer.

Mucho gusto. Me llamo Don Juan de los Platanos.

Laura.

JOHN: We're going to take dance lessons today

and learn how to do the flamenco dance.

Can we go? It's hot.

JOSE: I think we're going to do this outside.

No, we're not. I'm not doing... It's too hot out.It is.

JANELLE: It looks like Svetlana has a little bit of an attitude,

but I'm sort of not surprised out of her.

One...

two...

three... four...

five.

Two on the other side.

Hands.Okay.

Olé!

I want to do the hands.

When we went flamenco dancing I'm really shy at first,

and I was like, eh, who cares?

Go try it.

No, I'm not doing it.

Go try.

It's simple.It looks too hard.

Flamenco dancing looks very passionate.

I can't dance.Yeah, I know you can.

A lot of stomping of the feet, and really hard

hand movements.

It hurts.

Yes.It hurts.

SVETLANA: It's really fun to be around everybody

when they're in a good mood.

To see everybody happy...

so... it just makes me happy.

ALL: Olé!

Oh, yay!Gracias.

ZACH: You guys...

to a spectacular journey throughout Spain.

To a safe return to Key West.There you go.

PAULA: Spain is a great introduction to traveling.

I don't know where

I'm going to go next, but I'm definitely going to keep going.

She's dealt with it a lot better. I have no idea.

ZACH: Why does she never

deal with this stuff?

She's the one person out of everyone...?

She does the same thing I did.

She's like, "I'm good, I'm good,

I did this, I dealt with life."

Okay, and all she did was push her problems underneath

everything else. So that's why I'm like

"What in the hell else, you know?"

Take a session with Dr. Covin.

So the first day that I go see Dr. Covin,

when he says depressed, I'm like, there's...

no, there's no way.

Depression is a lot of things.

It's the way you think, it's the way you view things...

To name what you're feeling

kind of makes you get your arms around it

and be able to deal with it better.

Put it this way...She needs to hear this.

Fitz is a really younger version of myself. So I was like

the last thing I want you to do

is turn around when you're and be me.Yeah.

ZACH: Svetlana needs to take care of herself.

And she needs to look and see

what it is in her own life that she needs to work on.

JOHN: Paula, as you, from day one admitted,

"I have an issue, dude."

And it makes it so much easier for other people

to be like, you know what, she's admitted it,

it's apparent, it's obvious, it's there, we see it.

It's out.With them, it's not the fact that

she's making it out like, "Oh, my God, I've made

leaps and bounds of progress." Fitz... no, honestly...

PAULA: She's scared. What a lot of people are scared about is to be leveled.

It isn't...And then she thinks that in her life, she got here.

In reality, she might be about here.

SVETLANA: It just makes me so upset and so angry listening to people,

my roommates, especially Paula, talking about me.

It just feels like the same thing over and over again.

Why are people...? Why is it necessary to talk about me?

Just why?

She came in the room and went to bed. You can't speak to her.

I know. She was just... I think she was mad that, like...

We weren't saying anything bad, though.

There was absolutely nothing directed towards her.

SVETLANA: I have five people telling me that I confront people,

I'm too aggressive and I'm intimidating. Everyone in the

housefelt a certain way about me and said it to me.

I know that I have a lot of things

that I have to deal with and work on.

Gracias.JOHN: I guess reality's gonna

kick us in the a*s once we get home.

This is all going to seem like just one big... amazing dream.

Next onThe Real World:

Hey, did you see my other roommate?

TYLER: I'm leaving without him. I don't care.

Tyler played me.

I'm supposed to be his boy, and for him

to do something like that is not cool.

Are you like mad about the whole thing from the other night?

You're the most inconsiderate piece of [bleep] I've ever met in my life.

So don't tell me about being rude, man.Why am I inconsiderate, John?

I don't want to listen to your voice right now. Just don't talk to me.

Hola, Ricardo.

Where are you at?

JOHN: We're in a hotel in Sevilla, Spain.

That is crazy. What are you doing?

We decided to take all the money from the business,

and not tell you and go on a trip with it.

[chuckles]

You know, apparently you were the leader in this group.

I was the leader.

Just remember, you represent our country

when you're out of our country.

And it's my mission to prove everyone right

that thinks Americans are obnoxious and loud.

[laughing]
